LS Message /LSmes set from FF11 that shows when logging in. (translated w/answer)

[Reinheart]

Question was brought up on the Japanese side thread regarding adding a feature like Linkshell Message LSMES from FFXI and rep responded so translating it for here for anyone interested what’s being talked in the Japanese thread.

Japanese original thread link: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/13775

Translation may not be correct so adding original text with translation on bottom. Give the credit to the original post from Johannes on above link.

(Thread Title Japanese) FF11のようにゲームにインしたら、LSメッセージがながれるような/LSmes setのようなものがほしい

Want something like LS Message /LSmes set from FF11 that shows when logging in.

とくにスレッドが立てられていないようなので、立てさせていただきます。

現時点で上記のようなシステムがないようなので、マクロでセットできるようなものでもいいですし、
コンフィグからセットできるシステムでも結構です。FF１１に固執してるつもりはありません。

現状、確実に必要ですか？と問われれば、確実とまではいえないかもしれません。
が、しかし、LSのコミニケーションや、意思の疎通を円滑にしたり、今後コンテンツが充実するという方向で
いくのであれば、LSリーダーがなにかの活動の方向性や、意思を発信するものとなるのはまちがいありません。

現状、ロードストーンでのLSフォーラムでの書き込みでは、ログインするために、セキュリティートークンが必要な人がいますし、ログインしないと、ダイレクトにLSフォーラムにとぶことすらままなりません（URLを指定しない限り不可　で、とべても公開スレだけ視聴可）

ロードストンがいらないというわけではなく　手軽にメンバー同士が連絡を取り合う手段として、手軽に活動連絡の情報が発信できるものとして、いかがでしょうか？

I don’t see thread, forum topic regarding this so going to make this thread.

With current system we do not have a feature to make a linkshell message using macro like /lsmes, or through configuration.

If asked, is this necessary right now? Not necessary, but, when LS leader wants to put their intentions for activity or events something like this will be good. (direct translation is weird so translated the best I can think of what he’s trying to say)

Currently we have the LS forum in the Lodestone, but for some they require security token, and have to login to get to the LS forum. (You have to assign the URL, even with that only publicly viewable posts can be viewed)

Not saying we don’t need the Lodestone but want a easier method for communication between members for events, what do you think?

こんにちは。

本件、開発チームと話をしてきました。

まず現状の仕組みでは実装が難しく、リンクシェルでの活動に関する連絡事項などがある場合は、当面の間、The Lodestoneの機能を活用して欲しいとのことです。

将来的には、ログイン時のLSメッセージだけではなく、ログインしていないプレイヤーと連絡やコミュニケーションを取ることも意識した機能（たとえばレターなど）や仕組みの構想や具体案を、サーバー構成全体の改編とあわせてお伝えしていきたいとのことでした。

しばらくはご不便をおかけしますが、お待ちいただければと思います。

Translation:
I have brought up this matter to the dev team.

Currently adding this feature is hard and if there is any linkshell events, or messages we would like for you to use the feature on The Loadestone.

We would like to report along with the server mechanism changes in the future for adding not only the login LS message, but for better communication between players not logged in (Like letter) feature.

We are sorry for the inconvenience but if you could please wait patiently we would appreciate it.

You are so nice and helpful with translations I just wanna pinch your cheek...!!!!!!

(...I'm serious...)

FFXIV's slogan ~ We are sorry for the inconvenience, please be patient!
Nah, but seriously thanks for translation, hope we get this soon.

So their answer is to use a resource from outside of the game to coordinate events within the game? Genius.

[Radaghast]

Adding a text command is difficult? Who designed their code wtf.

[viion]

hmmm, im shocked about this: "Currently adding this feature is hard" ....

I have lost all belief that the people who set the servers up have any skill at all. I think this bad server setup should be fixed more than anything in-game as its making it near impossible to implement anything. Otherwise we'll keep getting "its too hard".

cuz its not the same engine as ffxi. and fyi people mostly used websites anyway with the lsmes as to say website updated. every Ls ive been in has a website that require a once a week check. honestly its harder then u d realise it isn't Just a text command, but they needa server storage for them and add ability to see them on multiple LS's.

I need to wear a helmet every time I read your posts.

Hey man, she had a point.
The 4mb of text for all linskells takes an enormous mount of resources to host.
