I don't find it sad, it's been well proven the forum community here is a lot worse than the actual game community as they say.

seriously how are some of these small, but very nessicary things just not getting done....is it really that much work, are they really that steeped into the battle system that not a single person could work on BASIC missing features that have been pissing people off from day 1......reallly?

As stated by the Development Team, the problem that is holding up linkshell administration (as well as mail system, seeking party flag, etc) is the Core Programming issues. There is a team working on those CP issues. Once that team finishes fixing those issues, then the other teams can begin working on implementing better party and linkshell control mechanisms ... among other things.

With 1.18 coming up, and 1.19 hopefully not too far behind that, maybe they'll have time to throw us a bone or two soon. We don't need everything at once SE, just a feature or two to tide us over, to help managing LS become more manageable.

Currently we have a maximum of 129 open spaces in a linkshell. This limit is not a problem; however the issue we do have is when people stop playing we can not remove them from the linkshell the only method is to crush the shell and make an entire new Linkshell. We need a method to be able to manage and edit out Linkshell's. We can not remove anyone currently unless they are standing within a few feet from us. I myself run a very successful Linkshell on Saronia but about 10-15 of our members no longer play the game and thus i can not remove them from our list unless i wish to create a new linkshell.

Also a Linkshell Shield customize would be nice... the current sets are cool but dull from a customizing point of view.



So yes i support this topic....

Square Enix needs to "seriously chastise" whoever developed the core programming, or whoever's fault these core programming issues are, whoever it is, is seriously the cause of who knows how much delayed content we'll "rumor" monger about.

Seriously on a side note, can you get your lil web ninjas to redo the FFXIV page, most mmos use their main website to properly represent their game, and as of current the website isn't cutting it. The lodestone/ffxiv forum links could be a wee bit more prominent too.

I wonder if we'll ever get about of forum beta :/

Abaddon just broke and reformed for the second time as well. There should have never been a first time. Why hasn't this been fixed yet?

I don't understand why you can add, remove and invite people from your Friend's List from anywhere in the game, yet Linkshells are restricted to "in your face" only. It seems like it's the same basic concept.

I get that we have been given an answer, but it's pretty inexcusable that this has been an issue since Closed Beta. We are playing an MMORPG that barely allows the playerbase to group together. No one is looking for an overhaul right now, the players simply desire the same basic functionality that already exists in the game in a different form.

Your linkshell only reformed 2 times?

Consider yourself lucky!
