Linkshell Member online notifications.

Hey everyone

While this kind of thing would be possible, there are more than likely a good amount of people who do not want others to know when they equip a LS or come online, so we would need to give consideration to these players. Again, while this is technically possible this would be somewhat low on the priority scale at the moment, including how to give consideration to those players who would not like this sort of feature.

All that would need to be done is to show or not show notifications based on online status. e.g. if you're set to invisible, don't trigger or recieve notifications.

They would receive the info about you being in the shell in the chat featue.... So about about a Chat filter for it or something?

or how about people look at who's in their ls by checking the ls?
camate, please don't waste time on stuff that isn't broken or needed.

We've already said why checking the LS doesn't help. But it's ok, reading comprehension is not required on these forums. Also, nothing suggested is ever needed, and very little is actually broken. Stuff is wanted, that's the sole reason why things are being suggested, and it's a perfectly valid motivation for suggestions. Also, Camate isn't wasting his time on anything, as he's not a dev. If you actually wanna appeal to anyone (without any sort of effect, obviously, as you don't get a say in the matter), learn japanese and tell the devs themselves.

How doesn't it? You check and they're either on or they aren't. lol. You don't need a notification so you can instantly hassle the person as they log on.

Yes, you do, when time is of the essence. And sometimes it is, for everyone.

And checking LS list is not only slow (delayed by up to 30s) and sometimes fails due to search issues, but it also won't tell you when someone loses their connection and you keep talking to them. But yeah, you're right, you can just wait 30 seconds and check LS list after every sentence, to make sure, right?

People need to get their heads out of their asses for once and realize there's still so much SE could do to improve overall gameplay and stop shooting down ideas because they assume that they don't need them. Status notifications are standard in every chat protocol ever designed in the history of mankind. I completely boggles my mind why SE went out of their way to design their chat system as crappy as they did. People should be notified in LS chat when someone logs on or off, when someone d/cs and when someone gets kicked (and who kicked them). This would have been expected from anyone who has ever been involved in any sort of group chat situation. These are basic features and should have been there when the game was released. If you had this feature from day one and SE would remove it for no reason you'd feel differently about it now.

So, next you're gonna say chat loss on zoning is ok, because you can just repeat what you said? I'll repeat myself again, nothing in here is needed. It's wanted. And that doesn't make it in any way less important.

Camate is part of the team that translates and delivers the information posted on the forums to the development team. So if I log on, you can't select "linkshell" >>> "see members" or watch the /l-chat if my name pops up with me saying something? The suggestion to have something like "Person1 has entered the linkshell" is completely superfluous as the inevitable "Hey ls" that usually proceeds.

Btw, thanks for calling me stupid. Real mature.

Atlantica Online has something like this: whenever I log in, a line in the chat log that seems to be server-wide pops up that shows a "greeting" from my character. It is customizable and I see the most random stuff when people log in. Haha.
