[Dev 1024] Linkshell Administration Options

**Heaven** · 05-25-2011 10:50 AM

Having a " /lcmd remove [name] " Should be #1 priority for text commands.

This is a Basic and must have feature for any mmo. I don't understand how it was not mentioned at all in letter X. They plan to wait another 5 months? put the big projects on hold and get the simple stuff out 1st.

I'm surprised they thought this game could be released without simple functions like this.

I belive the correct term is

Get a decent size team working on this game ffs.

Look at all 'dem crispy links.

I'd say the community has been pretty vocal about this issue.

Please continue to send in your ideas for the dev. team!

A month on.... the changes to the battle system are continually being hinted at as to what is being worked on etc etc (we know there will be auto-attack and changes to algorithms blah blah), but still this topic (Linkshell Administration) does not even appear on the list for "Future" Development.

With companies and dungeon events being promised to us before the end of Summer, I don't understand how SE cannot even be looking at this already. If you are going to be putting events/dungeons into a game for Linkshells to participate in surely simple features for Linkshell management is a must?

Our social LS has had to reform twice already, and we will probably be on the way for a 3rd soon- too many members that have upped and left and not dropped their pearl- hell I don't have to explain it, everyone knows what the problems are! How can a LS be expected to participate in any vague form of "endgame" activities if we cannot even remotely boot members or put up LS messages?

Does the development team know how much organization is required to reform a Linkshell? Trying to catch players that are in different timezones, only play certain days of the week and then having to meet up with them in order to give a new pearl. All this because we cannot boot old members from the list that are inactive?? For a game designed for "casual" players, why do they think people have the time to do this due to incompetence in not putting basic features into the game?

The LS list itself is useless; showing the name of the person and a green blob to indicate if they are online is as much use as a chocolate teapot- why can we still not see where the person is in the world and what rank and class they are playing? o.O

Come on guys, sort this out ><

You can already remove people from a linkshell, the problem being it has RIDICOLOUS limiatations.

I can't imagine just taking these limitations out would take so long. I understand this isn't a top priority, but it's such a simple and basic fix it's just insane they haven't done anything about it by now.

If it was a client side interface it would be a simple fix. It's a serverside interface which means they have to do a bit more and why there's such limitations to begin with. It's why most MMOs settle on client side interfaces.

Right and that's the problem, having such a system means there might as well not be an option to remove. When I took a break from the game for a few months I had the common courtesy of dropping my pearl and keeping in touch with my LS in other ways. The problem is almost all the people who quit the game or take a break don't observe this common courtesy and linkshells get stuck with them in their list. Unfortunately the only way to remove them is to entirely disband and remake the linkshell. That's ridiculous. If they just gave us the kick command I don't think many people would care about waiting for other things.
