Linkshell crests

[ApplePie]

You guys prefer plain (1-colored linkpearl) to something that actually has some differentiability? Wow...

You guys like something I don't like? wow....

The current Linkshell Emblem actually resembles medievil heraldry rather closely. Historically, such emblems were used to identify a lord and their household. Members would proudly wear those colours to represent whom held their fielty.

Their application in this game is so appropriate it's uncanny. Please don't take them away. Maybe expand them, add the ability to add mottos (like titles, but for groups), mascots (ie: Garuda can be holding the shield if the shell has bested Garuda) and other decorations. As an example:


The dolphins (yes, that is a medievil depiction of a dolphin) are the mascots, "Sense of Purpose" is the group's Motto and, of course, the emblem itself is the arms of the group.

Edit: Here is a real life example.

Now imagine if the shield was your Linkshell, the kangaroo and emu were instead Ifrit and Shiva, and the plant around the base were shrubs native to Thanalan.

This is the sort of thing I want for my Linkshell.

^ That.
Keep the shields, just let us decorate them more. :3

Hello!
I would like to see implemented a system in which your linkshell crest gains emblems. The emblems won't alter the color of your crest, only add to it.

Emblems will be for achievements such as downing Ifrit, Moogle, Gaurda, HNMs, and completing dungeons or having a certain amount of members?

Not hoping for anytime soon but 2.0 would be great!

What do you guys think?

Yes i'm aware this will be an epeen type addition

This is the kind of crap people bring up that has no bearing on gameplay, which is the major problem right now. Leave your Goobbue mount requests and Linkshell emblem requests for 2.0!

Calm down. There is nothing wrong with ASKING for them to implement something like this. I personally don't expect them to add anything like this til 2.0 anyway.

I was about to go into a wrath laden tirade on the value of historic influences in a game that takes so much from the late Roman to early renesanse (sp), but you've done a much better and mentally stable job.

Im gonna leave this here just so ppl see how was on RO:



As you can see the first 2 skills you can level up is the guild aproval (needed to enter the War of Emperium) and the guild extension and the guild extension gives 6 slots for new people each level. The guardian research make Guardian pop on your castle when you are defending and the Urgent Call one is an active skill that can be use by the guild master to teleport every guild member to his location.

Well all this skills have the main purpose to use it on the War of Emperium but outside it can be used and will help a lot.

SE should add something like WoE, a big scale PvP where linkshells fights each others for something.

Not sure if that's what you meant, but yeah, I think that visual that signs that acknowledge collective LS achievements would be great!

That would promote collaboration even more and provide collective goals.

Not sure personal achievements should have anything to do with LS icon tho

[Soukyuu]

That will be awesome, but not like it was on Ro where you donate part of your exp to the guild exp

I actually liked this part of the implementation. That way people with capped classes would still have a way to make their exp useful

As for not being able to upload your own emblem, it's really a pity. RO did it quite simply, all they had was a cache folder where the emblems of LSes you encountered were stored, and with the small size of 16x16 pixels it wasn't such a huge bandwidth/space issue. Those few mb do not matter if you have 11,3GB client data on your hdd <.<

I rather like the shape and heraldic aspects of this games Linkshell indicator. What bothers me most is our color selection. White or Yellow for a base color. Seriously SE, what I would do to a Roegadyn in a Ul'dah back alley for a black and green crest.
