Free Company Member Login Notification Display

Greetings!

How have everyone’s Free Companies been doing? Any so large they feel like they can conquer all of Eorzea?

We have a couple adjustments and additions for Free Companies that the development team is working on and I wanted to let you know about them.

Though we created the Free Company member login notification as a feature to support the community, we understand that sometimes you would like to turn this off and we are looking into giving the option to the Free Company leader.

Similarly, once your Free Company reaches a high number of members there may be cases where you chat log gets a bit cluttered with login notifications, so we are planning to add a setting to hide only the login notification for members.

We are looking into these two above adjustments for implementation after patch 2.2.

Too bad you can only press the like button once :P Would be pressing ten times LOL

Me like 　　　

the notification would be better as a popup that lasts a couple seconds in the corner of the screen (where loot and party notifications are) rather than in the log.

That also filters out things like promotion/demotion, invitation/ousting, and company action announcements. Having the ability to just turn off login/logoff independently is still useful.

after patch 2.2.

It's gonna be a long wait.

Umm isn't this already in the game? If he is talking about people logging in and out this is already in the game cause I have mine off. if its not FC members logging in and out what is he talking about?

Useful, just not important.

Honestly, content needs to be reworked [Coil mostly] if we want big FCs to be effective in the first place.
Having an FC big enough that login/logout spam is annoying is already a bad idea.

I would like this feature to extend to players on our friend list.

Just don't join a guild then you wont see all the log ins and log outs. Wish there was a block invites button more then this actually.

Or join a smaller guild my guild has 11 members and everything is fine.

I run an FC with 512 members. Thanks for telling me I'm doing it wrong, but I'm going to persist anyway, and welcome any FC management improvements.

Speaking of FC improvements, are there any other changes to FCs scheduled to come in 2.1 or 2.2?

I would like to suggest the addition of notifications for Linkshells, and make it so that each user can define which they want to see or not, like say, notification for LS1 and LS3 but not the others. Ideally so we can choose from which group we want notifications.

I don't think giving this option to the FC leader is a good idea, since it's a personal preference. Makes no sense to make it a FC-wide setting.

Any chance you can make our company crests appear on our gear when other payers look at us instead of only appearing on our own screens? I can see my crest on my gear, but the rest of my company looks like they have no crest to display when I see them...

That's already in game, just most people don't bother putting their crest on. A lot of people either don't know about it, or don't bother with it :/

Can you please take look at this

Would love a "duty finder" type feature for FC/LS so our members needing quests and duties could more easily hook up with members in the company. The chat log scrolls by so fast that dungeon/duty requests are too often overlooked because no one saw it. If we had a company DF, we could more easily help each other out.

Not quite. You can put the crest on your own armor and then YOU can see it. But if you are looking at another player's screen, they are not seeing the crest on your armor.

The purpose is supposedly so others can identify us by our guild symbol. But no one else can see it. Only we can. I have looked at my own gear from another player's screen and the crest is no visible on my own gear.

^

yep they do display

Although I would like to have the crest next to names again, maybe with a higher rank?

Also what do people think of having an option to change the colour of FC members names? eg. when you are in a party name colour is a different colour. I am not talking about changing the colour so everyone can see it I mean on your personal screen. Would make picking out your FC members in a crowd easier lol

This, and they need to fix the rendering of names, on really crowded areas you can barely see the name tags even if the game is rendering the character figures. Really annoying x.x Cant find people

If you're in an instance, the crests don't show. They definitely show up in-world, though.

While I'm not bothered by the login text in game, I do think "Soandso logged in." should be removed from the Free Company activity log on the lodestone. It's largely meaningless and spams out other, more interesting notices.

Thanks for replies about the crest. I will look at my friend's screen again when I have a chance to do so, but neither of ours were rendering the last two times we looked. We were inside the city of Uldah. I know they don't render in instances, you just get a generic symbol.

Very weird.

I would love to see crests, I never saw them in game before.

Greetings,

As some of you have most likely noticed, your free company crest is not displayed on the Lodestone and instead only the grand company you are affiliated with is shown. We'll be making it so your customized crests are displayed on the Lodestone around the time of patch 2.1, so please hang tight for a bit longer.

Can you fix it so that PS3 players can see the crest on other players gear? We can only see the crest on our own gear at the moment. Thanks.

What about the crest displayed on our gear when we go into a duty? Same thing happens there.

It'd be best to have a standalone notification pop-up aside from the chat log on the lower right or lower left side of the screen
