[TheVedis]

*Bump*

I would like to see ls admin too as our ls is going to be overflood too and having some admin control would be nice

[RathSkybreaker]

bump. bump bump bump bump..

[Coombah]

I agree with the OP...SE has stated that they learned alot from their past mmo so... implement it. I have talked with alot of players and this another thing that needs to be implemented. Bring back /lsmes and admin tools for LS leaders.

...and bump again!

Bump too. I long for the day that the LS UI is revised. However, until then, I'm willing to deal with text commands. My LS is starting to inch ever closer to it's max member count, and kicking the inactive players, or at least an LSMES that allows us to inform returning players that we've reformed, would be nice.

We're asking for the simple stuff for now, SE. You can always re-do the UI later but at least give us a bit more control other than inviting/kicking people that have to be within 5 feet of you.

Also, and a ~little~ shifting of the topic, it would be cool if we could send/receive messages within the F-List. It would be cool if I could send people invites to our LS via a message while they are offline. That way we don't have to be completely on the look-out for each other every moment of the day to get them a pearl. Since there's no actual trading of a pearl, and nor does it take inventory space, I think this should be an option as well (for the future).

Mocchi was able to sit down and speak with Minagawa about linkshell and friend list-related information that you all have been asking for updates on.

I spoke with Minagawa regarding the linkshell list and friends list.

The dev. team is well aware of the issues with the linkshell list and friends list, but it’s going to be very difficult to address in its current state. Therefore, the devs are going to be performing a complete overhaul of the system. With this overhaul, the team is planning to add functions that have been previously requested by the community. These functions include LS messages, the ability to remove players from the linkshell, more variations of LS crests, etc.

There are certain functions that he could add in the current state of the system, but considering how it ties to the communication within the LS, it needs to be checked thoroughly. Therefore, it isn’t something that can be implemented immediately.

I apologize for the inconvenience these issues may be causing, but we promise to improve the LS list, friends list, companies, searching for other players, etc. With these improvements, we believe the communication between the players will become much easier than it is in its current state.

With that said, we would like you to continue providing feedback.

All i can say is.. sock puppets and funny voices. Would have been epic.

Rukkirii,

This is an issue that was known well before launch and lets face it, this should have been prioritized for a fix. I know one of my shells has had to disband 5 times now just to get rid of inactive players. At this point, its just excuses.

Maybe you could push forth the suggestion of increasing the linkshell cap a bit t0 make dealing with these inactive players easier than disbanding and running around re-inviting people to a new version of a shell for the umpteenth time. Surely increasing the cap must be doable by 1.19, because if its not... wow.

I don't know if the dev team has already seen this yet, but I used Photoshop to create the following mockup image for how I think the LS color/crest selection should look:

EDIT: By the way, I just posted this image over on the Japanese board, and I got a reply that I can't read from a player named taatan, and I was wondering if anyone could translate what it says for me:

英語圏の方ですね。レスポンスありがとうございます。
ここではカレントの色の事ではなく、リンクシェルのチャットログや、ゲーム時のログイン表示状況の事について意見を出し合ってます。

She posted a Google translation in English, but it didn't make much sense. :X
