Free Company Message Board

[Tipira]

Hello,

i want to share an idea for FC Houses.

Introducing the Message Board:
Would it be possible to place "Message Boards" inside of the Free Company Houses ?
It would be the information center for all FC member. As a leader you would be able to pass specific members the rights to post messages to the board.

Uses:

- post complete raid schedules online and ingame!! weekly, monthly w/e ...
- post raid drops to the board
- post ls / fc rules to the board
- post important announcements to the board
- post changes to your ls/ fc structure to the board

All those information would be accessible even if there is no leader or officer online.

If you like the idea please like the thread too :P

Sounds pretty cool. Not having more info makes it tough to decide what we do and don't need though. I know it was mentioned or requested to add messages back on the Linkshell side when you log into ARR like we had in XI and is available in other MMOs. Wonder if there will be a huge difference to facilitate needing a FC message board and the LS messages?

kind of redundant since so many people already use 3rd party. Guildwork.com has a robust dkp and raid tracker. it would be nice, but i'd prefer the UI team focus on something more pressing.

I thought the same thing since our website has the ability to do this as well but, in keeping with the fact some people/Linkshells don't pay for these types of amenities, it's a valid request. I also agree it's not pressing at all but a nice thought for the back of their minds to add later in a small patch.

Nice idea although I daresay that someone will come up with an add-on, if not the dev from guildwork himself that will link into the GW site.

imho, I think putting some sort of a message board IG will add to the immersion of the game. Instead of having to "leave" the game or rely on addons that notoriously break after every update. So i think this is a great idea, not a top priority idea, but something that would be nice to integrate eventually.

Like you idea~ :thumbsup

it will be great if it's not only place in our FC house, but also integrate this idea into both phone app/FC websie in future, let FC members:

- sign up for FC events
- check FC accomplishments
- vote for poll
- read announcements

The 1.x version had LS page with forums in The Lodestone. Not many used it but they are still goign to be redoing this feature in ARR.... sooo... if they can only bring in The Lodestone LS/FC functions in-game and we would have a working message board.

Asked for this before on JP side but no response yet. Maybe they don't want ingame browser to load specific pages outside, or they can't pull data from forum database or something. Doesn't seem too hard to do imo.

As for DKP would be cool if they can make some type of FC rule system that allows this type of stuff but this one might actually be harder to code as every FC will have different pointing system/rules... so doubt this one would be made by the devs. Probably can do old school method doing updates on forum with everyones current points and stuff but not user friendly. If DKP is going to be needed then probably have to use 3rd party sites like guildwork if you want to make it easy.

No point to this since most shells have their own forums where all of this information is posted.
