this is probably a dumb question but I've just come back to check in on the game and I'm finding it very difficult to /tell others and invite people that are in another part of Eorzea.
Anyone else feel the same? or am i not doing it right?
are chat and party functions getting updated?

you can always /pcmd add Fristname Lastname
but yes the search function as it is now is still lacking
right now for me the only thing that really annoys me is the party window (when you go to party details) displays the members with a scroll bar. Expand the window so you can see all 8 without scrolling or give us the option to resize the window pls! -

I used to add people to my friend list to make it easier, but now I just type it.
Remember, capitalization matters. -
12-31-2011, 05:35 AMGidonoidon_SurTo answer the question, 'I would assume so." They are revamping the whole game. Since the communication interface is lacking like everything else, I assume they will update it. I never had a problem in FFXI...makes me wonder if people tested this game before they released it...Quote:

Hopefully they'll allow us to right click within the chat log and interact with people that way like in other MMO games. It would make things much easier.

It's a pain but I've gotten used to it... Just make sure your not mixing up the pcmd with pmcd lol. I've literally almost popped blood vessels thinking about why the invite wasn't working roflmao!

Search function is amazing right now, and we're gonna be able to search on multiple classes later.
Chat, idk about, hitting the "/" key as i need to designate where chat is going to anyhow.
as others aid "/pcmd add First Last" works great, or if you happen to have them on your friendlist can invite from there. -

What i would love to have is a command to talk to a specific linkshell, something like /linkshell1 [mes.] (or /l1 [mes.]) to talk to you number 1 linkshell, /linkshell2 [mes.] (or /l2 [mes.]) to talk to you number 2 linkshell and so on.
It's really simple to program (it must be) and would be just great to keep up the community.
Cheers. -
