[Dev 1024] Linkshell Administration Options

[Eekiki]

It probably won't get many responses because by design, there are very few linkshell masters amongst those who play the game. Most people don't know how the linkshell interface works because they've never opened their own LS.

Even so, this is something that should be placed pretty high (but not at the top) of the list for SE, since linkshells are an essential and heavily used feature.

I agree with this topic, I can't believe they went from linkshell system in XI to this watered down crap just like they did with friends list is laughable

they are remodeling the client/server Communication system roots, i'm sure after this happen we will see implementation of LS features that we lack even LS functions from FFXI that we don't have. i don't think they wanna try implementing this stuff only to do it again after the system roots are remodeled.

The problem is this "remodeling" is taking way, way too long and the MASSIVE amount of features and settings that have been pushed back because of "server limitations" is just so huge at this point. There's no way they'll manage to push it all out as soon as the fixes are done (if they ever actually happen, because 8 months into the new dev team I'm starting to lose confidence). As it stands they're all promises they can't keep and those (IMO) are exactly what got this game such a bad rep in the first place.

Yes Colino, all that has been said over and over again. Still, they keep the game free, they can not charge, still they keep the servers up, still they keep trying to fix the problems the previous Dev Team left and still plan to make this game a success after all is said and done.

Please tell me: What else do you think they should do after everything they are doing up until now? How do you know everything they are doing (Which I believe is huge) is all they can do while thinking of the massive hit this game is to their company in terms of failed revenue, lost investment, etc? What else man.. really, what else they need to do to satisfy your personal needs?

Its their game, its their money and is their choice how they allocate their resources. If this game fails it will not affect you directly at all. So please, just take it easy and see if they pull it off or not, move on to better things in the meantime, play other games, what ever you think will work for you.

So please, just take a chill pill and see if they pull it off or not, move on to better things in the meantime, play other games, what ever you think will work for you. Raging in the forums and calling names to their employees is not the way to go.

I didn't call anyone names and do my best to never do so.

I'm sorry it sounds like raging banther but I feel like every day that goes by they care less and less about the BASICS, the stuff that should've been in the game at launch. It just seems that they prefer to work on swimsuits and implementing elevator music on every map before actually fixing the massive lag and the jaw droppingly terrible UI.

I'm not ranting in some huge angry rampage, I'm just talking about stuff. My language is rough and dirty sometimes but that doesn't mean I'm yelling at my screen or shaking my fist in the air while I'm typing all this stuff...

I'm sure they wanna have it done and all the features added just as much as you do but the fact is its not there yet or we would have it, you can complain all you like but it won't speed their processes up any. Just know that they are working on it and if its worth doing its worth doing right so they don't have to back track anymore then they have to. Trust me they wanna fix this because its one of the many stepping stones toward making money off this game.

[Elkwood]

We reformed and I can think already of about 10 people we need to remove that have yet to be back on since even before the systems went down. I really hope that SE can fix this by next major update.

This topic has my 100% support. It is a gripe that I have had since my beta days and I'm surprised that they have not done this yet. How many threads on this topic are needed before the devs take action?

[Keftenk]

I'm aware that its most definitely not near the top of their priority list and I'm no programmer, but this can't really take much more then a full days worth of work + testing to implement, right? A kick feature from anywhere + on offline members. That's all I need right now.

Everything else for the LS management can come later for all I care.
