[Dev 1024] Linkshell Administration Options

[Rukkirii]

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
