Dear SE,
It been nearly a year now, and a lot has changed. For the better mind you, but some things have remained the same. I started this game during the launch, By December time I found myself leading a linkshell. Back then I was really unsure which direction I wanted to take it. Not because I lacked leadership, but because there wasn't many options to me. Along the way my linkshell number have swollen to the point that I couldn't take on any new members. Only option to me? Re-roll the shell and chase everyone down to get them in the new shell to make room. I had to do this because there a very blatant lack of linkshell management abilities. I've had to do this now 6 times. We'll be coming up on our 7th here in just a week.
When I first read about Grand Companies I was under the impression these would replace linkshells. I was excited finally some system where I can actually have a rank structure, and the ability to kick people without them being ONLINE, and Next to me. I'm still excited about grand companies and the prospect they bring to the game. However, I'm very disappointed in the lack of attention linkshell have received.
1. Add more variety of colors to the Linkshell Crest.
2. Add a time stamp for when a person was last logged in.
3. Ability to show only online players.
4. Ability to kick people without them being online, or next to you.
All these are pretty responsible request when community is the main focal point for some players, and one of the main driving forces for this game. I would like to be able to manage that community I chose to surround myself with. SE, When will linkshell get attention that they need?

Maybe when there is enough people to actually worry about it. For now Remaking linkshells is the best bet you have. We will probably see something when the battle changes are done, or when they introduce public companies *If we are still getting those*

08-13-2011, 02:25 PMRathSkybreakerOnly disagreement I have with this is that there is a community here and there are people, you shouldn't wait until you have "enough" people, linkshell management shouldn't suffer due to low population, we couldn't control that, if anything by offering a good and welcoming/home-esque enviroment we can hope to bring players back to this game.. just my 2 -cents.Quote:

LS status has been acknowledged by the devs as a problem
but its also been stated that its low priority compared to content/combat changes, so its not on the forefront of what we have coming right now
they know its an issue, we know its an issue, we just gotta wait for them to fix it(and making a new thread every day on this wont help, someone has to do it almost every day) -
08-13-2011, 02:31 PMRathSkybreakerHe knows, I know, you know , everyone knows, but maybe by continuing posts, we can raise the priority.. I mean really I'm not posting stuff like this in order to hinder anyone's game play. I'm taking this time so that I can better help my friends, and future friends that wish to join us.. It's just really inconvenient =[ really not trying to get on anyone's nerves.Quote:

I did get the jist, and where are those threads now? I don't see them =\ they are buried and dead. But as you wish I will do just that just let me go dig them up I suppose.

its a popular thread with dev responses it should be easy to find
just look for the dev response icons as you look through pages -

The old threats are now outdated. They don't point out the fact that this is now been neglected for nearly a year. This is about awareness, this is about having a dev response, and Player support. Simply put this game staple point even from FFXI was about community. Linkshell management is vital to the establishment of that Community. This isn't about a debate if they know or not.

08-13-2011, 02:41 PMTheVedisi bumped the old threadQuote:

the only people to neglect the thread are the posters, its not the devs jobs to bump them for us -

hey Jerec, you guys staying on gungir?

Another thing I'd like to see them adopt is being able to enter something like /l1 /l2 /l3 etc so you can speak directly into all shells without having to switch the specific active one.

Still can't believe the linkshell limit is 128. This with the ability to not kick people makes it very hard to manage a shell with more than 128 players and more on a waiting list. :\

06-23-2013, 12:07 AMNikkitaDid anyone happen to notice that this thread was created 2 years ago? August 2011? On that note you can totally kick people from your LS. Select their name you will see the option.Quote:

So yeah, don't listen to those forum minimizer folks who want to keep the amount of redundant forums down, sometimes a new start is necessary. Cause a lot of people will read first post, and bam, right into discussion mode.

Yeah, this topic was necrobumped because someone wanted to know what server the OP was going to be on in 2.0.
-
06-23-2013, 07:37 AMurban
year later and you still use it. I just use it on beta 3. There's nothing wrong with it unless you don't pick up info fast. Just stopped it. You beating a dead everything.

Your opinion is heard, they know you don't like it, we don't like it, etc. Now is the time to just wait patiently while enjoying everything else about the game.Quote:

you guys are quoting text from 2 years ago >< I don't think he's reading this! if he is his info is VERY outdated, you can kick people, you can invite people from afar I'm told the /l1 /l2 /l3 things works I didn't need to try can't verify it. But again quit replying to things said from 2 years ago XD

Good lord, why did we necrobump a two-year-old thread? I thought for a moment none of these issues had been addressed in beta.
^This. I was surprised to log in this weekend and find there was still a 128 person limit. Why is it still so low?Quote:

Now that you can boot people, I welcome the limit~ Couple of hundred voices wanting to be heard.

06-24-2013, 10:51 AMRathSkybreaker
Also, this is years old, this was before the 1.0 server merges... Most of the issues have already been addressed :]
