Chat across multiple Linkshells

[Teakwood]

Yeah I doubt that -anything- is trivial for them to program in with the current system. I just don't remember if they said they'd try to address this -by- 2.0 or what and I can't be arsed to sift through searching for it. Anyone with a better memory than me?

This would be greatly useful!

Even something as simple as a text command to change linkshells would be fantastic (/equipls "XXXXX") if for some reason they don't want to deal with allowing chat into every channel.

This feature needed to be in the game when it first game out. Is it not logical that if you can hear what all of your linkshells are saying at any given time, that there should be an elegant/convenient way to respond to them? If they make linkshell communication as difficult as it is now, they should just make it so that your linkshell channels are off by default except for the one you're "active" in, since right now there is no direct way to communicate with them save going through the laggy UI to switch.

TBH, I think I have read this a few times in the past on some forums, but I don't think it has been in any updates etc.
THIS WOULD BE AWESOME.... Like... So many times I have MTd stuff in a wrong LS and if I am in the middle of crafting (which I do a lot) I have to actually stand up and change the ls. And usually by that time my witty comment in response to some banter is highly unvalid *cries*

[...]Though it won’t be for quite some time, we are looking into addressing this.

This post is 4-5 months old..can we get any new information on this?x-x
I think 'quite some time' has already passed considering it's such a basic feature.

I think the memo has fallen between the drawers, good thing we keep nudging them :P

Not sure if you are making fun of me,
but I think it's good players keep nudging them about certain stuff,
otherwise they might think it's not really important and put it at the very bottom of their priority list,
while at the same time saying the game is at 100% MMORPG standard after patch 1.20, even though it is missing such important features as this + ls management in general.

The development team is aware of your concerns but due to the fact that their current priority is the battle system, changes can’t be made right away, but they are thinking about doing this after.

We've been getting this answer on ls management all the time,
but now the battle system has been reworked, so I request information about the position of this on the priority list x)

Nah Wasn't making fun of you, was making fun in general how sometimes things fall behind the drawer and then months later you do a mega spring clean and go "OOoooh here's where it went"
