Linkshell Options

That is included in the "anywhere", I will edit it to be more specific.

ok sorry i misunderstood it meaning not having to travel to find the person because they have to be right beside you sorta thing.

One option I dont see which might be good is a "personal message", i've seen this in other games and XI kind of had it but it was on the Friendslist and only in playonline, not ingame.

A personal message be useful for if someone is going away on holiday or something he can put the message there so the leader doesnt boot him, be similar to windows live messenger personal message.

This can be done on the Linkshells website instead.

Agree with all of the ideas in the OP. Good stuff!

Yea I ran the list off the top of my head at like 6am when the servers went down so I didn't add many details.

The ability to talk to multiple LSs with out having to change my current one. (maybe by doing /l#?)

I would expand on this by adding a few options like the chat in FFXI

/linkshell# or /L# ---- Changes current ls to that ls

/linkshell# or /L# + message ----- sends message to the indicated linkshell.

This enable response to a message without going through the menu.

I read thatt wrong lol, I guess a text command to swap LSs would be kinda handy. I have the "/L# Message" in the list.

A bump before I head to bed.

the ability to use mulitple ls's is a good idea however i foresee issues when it comes to end game,
if SE implement an arena like dyna into FFXIV its simply not going to be practical (esp when server population grows ) to have 5 different ls chats going on.
I know it is currently possible to turn off selected ls chat from being displayed but because you are still visable in the ls ppls still try and talk to you,
I think you should only be visable as online under your selected Active LS and maybe a /sea all function for all other game player!

It's already a problem...


Contested mobs are a great example...

one person is in your ls but also in another... your main ls says we're heading to y to kill x, guess what lil joe says, theyre going to kill x! and magically they show up.

I do agree it's good in the scheme of things but ppl are schmucks, can't really hope it works out well =(

Yea I see where that can be a problem. I might remove that from the list then and suggest using the FFXI LS system where you have to be active to view and talk in LS chat. I guess its up to EG shells to regulate their members and be all mean with the "Your only allowed to be in our LS ONLY!!!!" rules
