Chat across multiple Linkshells

[NoctisUmbra]

I'm sure the answer to this will turn out to be about the server changes somehow, but given the number of channels we're able to write into and the diversity among them, I really would like to know why we aren't able to type into a LS unless it is the one that is active?

Is this a choice by design, or is it planned to be addressed after server upgrades?

I can imagine it to be an easy system wherein players can type /l1, /l2, etc. and speak into any LS at any time.

would love this feature

Love the idea.

Didn't SE say something about implementing something like the /l1, /l2 etc.... but they just said it wasn't at the top of their list at the moment...

Personally I think this is something that has been needed since release a year ago, goes hand in hand with needing mail boxes, and needing LS admin rights to kick/add people without them being on and standing right in front of you etc...

It's annoying to be crafting and have someone ask a question, have to stop crafting cancel out, change shells answer the question, and then have to do it all again when having to flip back again if they ask another one. I usually get annoyed and switch to /tell's which means I just get spammed with those.

Multi-LS chat without changing pearl's is needed within the game.

{Yes please.}

I -swear- I read that they were going to implement this by or before 2.0, but I can't find the actual documentation or quotes to back this up. I remember it made me really happy though as this has been pissing me off since game release. xD

Yea I have a feeling it was mentioned but I also cannot find a specific post addressing this just yet.

When it comes to LS admin features I know they said it would be alleviated with the server-side fixes, but I feel like putting in commands to speak into other LS channels could be relatively easy. That being said, if the way they have Linkshells setup makes it impossible server-wise I wouldn't be surprised considering their server-side data setup is known as being quite restrictive and annoying for many other reasons already.

I'd appreciate some clarification on this from the devs.

Yeah I kinda assumed that was how it worked when I got my fist 2 linkshells and tried typing /1 /2. Seems silly it wasn't there from the start.

Actually, yea. No need for the l's even just the numbers would suffice
