Can we have an FC Calendar Please

[Beskar]

Yes please. Also add to it general game events as well such as Valentines day thing, Halloween etc Resets, unlocks, crafting + gathering etc.

In game calendar would be great, not only for FC but for many other tasks a player can plan to do. Example, a calendar where i can set unspoiled nodes time and so on.

In an FC I used to be in (before its leader left the game and it sort of fell apart), members used to use the short messages any player can set to notify each other if they were planning something they wanted people to join them in. (Peisteskin Map treasure hunts seemed to be the most often planned in advance like that, but sometimes other things were as well.) Not enough room there in the Short Message for any sort of detail, though. A real calendar would be better.

I would love to see an in-game calendar with an option to announce newly posted events/notices on login. I would not however like a direct link to the over cluttered loadstone. I don't enjoy using it and the last time I tried to do an event through it, it wouldn't work for half the people. A much smoother built in interface would be my preference. I would also like them to make sure to not limit event sign-ups to particular sizes as player made events don't always fit within the confines of a raid party.

I actually meant a Calendar on the Fc page on the Lodestone. Our members (all 6 of them) are from different time Zones, it would be a handy tool on our forums page if members could post times they know they would be available for different things such as airship progression, airship voyages etc

Why Lodestone events do not work:
- Requires sign-in each time on an external website not frequently checked by most
- Not PS3/PS4 friendly
- Requires players to leave the game or tab out to a site infrequently used
- No in-game reminders or integration into XIV
- Difficult to set up recurring events for the FC

Why Google Calendar doesn't work:
- External site which becomes a daily responsibility of the player
- No in-game reminders
- Can't regulate who enters/leaves the FC
- If made public, spammers/idiots throw countless notifications of BS on to people's phones
- Not PS3/PS4 Friendly

Why Facebook/Hangouts/Player.me/Discord postings don't work:
- Can't manage or continue to add every person who joins the FC
- No clear way of knowing who is posting what event
- External site requiring daily checking on the responsibility of the player
- Convoluted system not friendly to recurring events, requires as much work from the poster as the viewer

As of today, I've had 2,256 unique members in my FC. It's probably the largest FC that's out there, and unfortunately many go back and forth in this game like a revolving door. The #1 Complaint? Not enough events.

But we do have events, at least 50 different recurring events in our 2.5 years of running. Crystal Tower series, Void Ark, Drunken Dungeon nights, PvP at each launch, training groups, card groups, chocobo groups, raid groups... yet nobody knows anything about them even when using MOTD. We've tried Facebook/Google Calendar/Lodestone. But all of these systems require looking outside the game.

ALL FC Leaders are trying their damnest to retain players, but it's extremely challenging. This is coming from the guy who organized countless promotional XIV videos and even a rainbow parade that was publicized across IGN and Huffington and countless other sites. We desperately need an in-game FC calendar.
