linkshell app

[Cyriack]

is it possible to make a linkshell app we can use to talk even when we zone and without waiting 2 minutes per zoning? we could use it to even have more features.

Why yes, I believe such a thing might, in fact, be possible to make. (https://discord.com/)

i know theres discord but not everyone uses discord...

iirc Stainlav used to manage Guildwork premium that has similar feature, unfortunately he already quit for sometime. Unless someone would step up for it, think that other option is the next best thing, & imo way better anyways since ingame chat plagued with limits like no access during zone loading, something FF14 had this fixed since beginning.

Plus discord has more uses way beyond this. Unlimited personal screenshot storage for examples & many other things. ;)

Yeah, he literally made Discord. Stanislav is the co-founder.

Maybe you should. Unless you're going to quit it again from crafting rants.

It's not realistic for SE to make a app or service when Discord been around for a decade and is universally used by *most* people.

In a perfect world it could be made into the Companion App for 14 but it won't, not even 14 players use that app a lot. They use discord.

I knew there was an FFXI connection there, and I wanted to mention it in my comment, but I just couldn't verify it with just the bits I knew. Thanks for getting us there.

FFXI might look rough and be constantly overshadowed by its more narratively ambitious sibling, but if it weren’t for Vana’diel, we might not have Discord today.

Too much editorial freedom on the part of that author. There is no way that FF14 is more "narratively ambitious" than FFXI.

Just fact-checking & wow! That is amazing, never did realize same max being co-founder with discord.

That said, too bad though that so far haven't seen similar integration as GW did with FFXIAH for players tracker stuff, or there's already some that I haven't knew yet. ^^;

In theory it wouldn't be difficult to program, but with low interest from maintainers on FFXIAH side of things, it's likely not going to happen. I'm not even sure how FFXIAH get data from the game to begin with, it's not like SE got a public API you can connect into.

I'm guessing the inside linker with GW & old linkshell from official website still works, not really sure, but at least mine profile still sorta updated every time returning from free login campaigns, albeit certain sections like my mastered jobs didn't get updated, though job point distribution did show updates. Haven't actually logged to GW for ages though, hence that might be the reasons for partial updates.
