are we gonna get proper LS managament tools before 2.0 /sigh

One of the things i dislike the most at this point is the lack of LS management tools. I know this topic has come up before but i don't see it anywhere on the road map to 2.0. Does this mean That we have to put up with this horrible system for that long.

things id like to see in order
1. the ability to oust whether player is online or not, crest equipped or not.
2. the ability to invite over any distance
3. a mutli-tiered officer lvl gold, silver, green, whatever
4. customizable ldr roles, leader, officer, moderator, event coordinator, ect


id be fine with just being able to oust for now, but the other things would be nice if they could make it in game sometime.

Considering it is primarily server-related and the server changes are happening with 2.0, doubt it.

Ya they said they could build a system for FFXIV 1.0 but that be a waste of time they said they rebuilding the system all together for 2.0 So i really doubt it we have anything for 1.0.

Exactly. All they have to do is leave out 1-2 if() queries.

maybe it would be a waste of resources to fix the LS management if the game was f2p but if its p2p its p2p then there should be a functional guild system at very least.

The Free company would have what wow and most games have.

You can set Ranks to each member and you can name it yourself Like King,Queen,Knight,Pawn Like King would be the Leader and have full control over the Free company. Knights would have lower control and you can also set the control you want for each members. I think they also going to do a Free company Bank and Free company building so your free company can go inside and hang out and craft can make stuff for the inside.

So Free company is a better version of other MMO guilds.

And ya should not be hard allowing us to kick out members but sadly they just don't want to waste time they have to rebuild everything just to do that then rebuild it again for 2.0.

yea, i understand the whole drawing resources thing away from one thing to do another and all, but with p2p and 2.0 being 2013 i think they should at least make it work for temporary. Give a product worth paying for. if it continued to be f2p id be alot more understanding.

it is strange to say LS is linked to server so they wont fix it till 2.0. both market wards and PC search are linked with the sever and they patched them up. also i must say i have played games that are free to play with better group management systems than our LS. still if we got to wait till 2.0 then so be it i guess

were closing in on LS max and i really dont want to have to break the LS again for the 15th time which is what brought on this thread. I had read somewhere they were adding a LS page or something, thought they could add a proper oust as well.

i only have 31 members but i myself is cleaning out my linkshell for 1.20 to look for members so ya i can understand how that could be a issue. I wish they could at least allow us to kick members who not online that would help a lot.

These functions include LS messages, the ability to remove players from the linkshell, more variations of LS crests, etc.

There are certain functions that he could add in the current state of the system, but considering how it ties to the communication within the LS, it needs to be checked thoroughly. Therefore, it isn’t something that can be implemented immediately.

I apologize for the inconvenience these issues may be causing, but we promise to improve the LS list, friends list, companies, searching for other players, etc. With these improvements, we believe the communication between the players will become much easier than it is in its current state.

With that said, we would like you to continue providing feedback.

Agreed

2. the ability to invite over any distance

Can be done with party invites but I think it's better to invite someone to LS in person.

3. a mutli-tiered officer lvl gold, silver, green, whatever

LS Master and LS captain should be enough unless you want to include LS sergeant (as for larger LSs) but they would have limited powers.

4. customizable ldr roles, leader, officer, moderator, event coordinator, ect

I wouldn't be able to imagine any other roles within the LS chain of command but to distribute LS pearls and invite new recruits to the LS. It makes the system much more tedious and complex as it is where the MMO can leave that a mutal point for players to manage on their own.

LS management system should be overly extended out of what it's design for. The whole point should be to gather like-minded members together for a similar goal and direct them/ help and succeed. Some LSs are for social and some are for events. I believe there's lack of options but lets not take it too far out of context.
