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