Linkshell options when?

When are we getting expanded LS options? At the very least I'd like to have a LS message to see when people log on. Advanced LS features in general are really needed right now, as it's hard to manage a LS when the LS itself is nothing more than a glorified friends list that gives you can icon next to your name. I'm not suggesting "guild perks and levels," just basic features XI had.

We'll have it in...

...wait for it...

Seriously though, not soon enough. We need it bad.

LS Message should at least be near the top priority wise if nothing else. I have a hard time getting my members to check the LS website, but they'd see the LS message every time they log in.

No, LS Message is a trivial complaint when compared to not being able to remove members who are not online or in the same area. The one thing we need more than anything is an exile option without the restrictions.

1.22 or 2.0 or 3.0, idk when. Whole LS system needs a massive overhaul, compared to say SWTORs which is epic sauce. (Even haz banks!)

The biggest problem with my LS is that no one knows what's going on, which having LS message doesn't seem like such a "trivial complaint" to me if it would help my biggest problem. I see where you're coming from though. As I said, there's a good deal of my roster that's filled with people that tried the game for a day then stopped playing. Only way to clean house is to make a new LS.

If you have an event coming up then you can easily just keep saying about it every now and then.
That's what I did with my old LS to make sure people knew.

Actual LS management options are needed a lot more.

I think free company's will make LS's obsolete anyway.

I disagree. You can only have one free company, and they relate to battle, things such as being able to summon primals and endgame trophies. Social LS' will still exist.

i just want an option where i can see when people log on/off, and where they are when they're in game lol

my point is most of the things people want in LS besides oust will be Free company things, I dont think they'll expand much on LS's with the free company's coming.

free companys will have housing, banks, a guild system to lvl and compete. LS's will just be chat channels.

I believe this is a server structure issue, if I'm not mistaken. There was a post about this already on one of the million threads that ask this.

Oh, really? Darn. How do I close my own thread?

I really hope this is something they can address in 1.22. Perhaps Akumu is right in this might be a server issue; I just don't remember ever seeing an official response to this. Being able to add/remove members without having to be right next to them is my main concern. My LS has over 110 people, with probably half of those being inactive for many months. With the server merges coming soon, some people are going to want to apply for an LS I'm sure, and I'd like to have the space to accommodate them.

This is really the last word I was able to find on it, it's a pretty old response though.

The dev. team is well aware of the issues with the linkshell list and friends list, but it’s going to be very difficult to address in its current state. Therefore, the devs are going to be performing a complete overhaul of the system. With this overhaul, the team is planning to add functions that have been previously requested by the community. 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.

BS, i could do this in a day or two if given a seat at an se xiv dev box.
This is really a shining example of their incompetence or more likely their attitude that they can do nothing wrong and the customer is wrong.
