Cross World Linkshell Capacity

[josezr90]

Hello, I am the leader of a community on this game, we are all from different servers, and it's been years I've been asking for the increase of CWLS capacity, it's non sense common linkshells have like 130 slots and CWLS has only 64!!! I mean... it should be the other way around And yes we also manage a discord, but that's not an in-game chat, and not everybody uses it.. Can we please get some help with this?

[LaylaTsarra]

Totally agree. I would hope with server upgrades this can become a reality soon. 64 if way too little.

More support for this.

As world visit and data center travel get more common, more players are relying on cross world linkshells instead of the local linkshells since the latter can't include everyone in their social groups.

The smaller limit also means more crossworld linkshells must be created and networked to reach everyone in the larger player communities.

[Final-Fantasy]

Yes, please!

The current limit of 64 players is much too small, 512 would be nice.

Possibly double that in the future.

Bump, just hoping to get more support on this topic, please hear us YoshiP-sama >A<

Yes, please! I've hoped for it every single patch this year and I've yet to see it happen. I would love for it to increase to 128 members, maybe even more since it's meant to contain people from more than one world (and even data center, now)!
It would help with CWLS for The Hunt content so much. I would be able to add more people who could attend these hunts and more people who can relay when they've found or spawned a hunt. That would help console players so much. It gets rough to play on a console and rely on someone's late linkshell relay because it came through their cross-world linkshells late due to size limitations (being unable to invite all active spawners). All of my CWLS are hunt-related, and they're all filled to the brim with more people constantly seeking an invite than there are invites to hand out.
Speaking of more people wanting a CWLS invite than I have spaces in my CWLS, it would be great if they could add some sort of way for me to see when people are inactive or haven't played since the last maintenance or something. I likely have people in my hunt CWLS that haven't played since before 6.1, but I have no way of knowing without kicking them, which could mean I accidentally kick someone who was active mere minutes ago. I just want people to come join hunts! They're so much fun and the recent expac's hunts are very helpful to people who need to cap for raid within a short amount of time because of real life commitments.
It would help other kinds of CWLS, too! I would be able to merge my current hunt CWLS and finally join a CWLS just for friends or raiding or anything. 64 can be so small when it comes to these things.

I agree that this should be the norm, especially with how big the game has gotten and the need to make New Worlds because old ones are full.

Outside of the Friends List, CWLS help a bunch in that aspect. Why has this not been proposed yet, again?

[AshRaithwall]

The Hunt community relies a lot on linkshells to communicate in game and 64 slots in CWLS is simply not enough.
It doesn't help that, unlike local linkshells, CWLS don't provide an easy way to check if someone has logged on recently by checking their classes/jobs informations. This makes managing them and freeing space for active players a pain in the butt.

Please increase their maximum capacity and provide better managing tools.

It's already been said, but with the further expansion of DC travel, CWL space needs to be expanded upon - this is something that should have already been done (or at least mentioned being worked on) when regional DC travel was first added in. 64-slots for CWL is just laughable at this point... starting out, it was fine. Given what they're being used for today (biggest one is likely relaying Hunt information, then Maps?), to not at least say there's plans to expand is just, silly... But this is desperately needed. At least expanding the space to match that of local Linkshells, if not expanding the space further. Unfortunately, it very much seems like unless you're from one of the JP DCs, SE doesn't really pay as much of attention to the opinions of others. So, Please Look Forward To It(tm), I guess.

[TeaRenin]

Very much agree'd with what everyone above has already mentioned. With the current cap on CWLS, I've found that some of us who use them to relay calls for timed events (hunts, fates, treasure map runs etc) are more hesitant to add characters from other DCs so we can "save" these slots for people who will see the linkshell at all times. But that makes integrating people from other DCs into those groups less easy, and I don't really want to push discord servers as a fix-all.
(The discords do exist and do get used, but I also know from experience that a lot of people strongly prefer to have both. Linkshells simply are another layer of convenience and functionality.)
It'd be nice to have some more capacity.
