[Dev 1024] Linkshell Administration Options

[Elkwood]

This could be because there is also a thread about this in the appropriate section of the forums.
(link)

Also, "crowd control" is about controlling the behavior of multiple monsters, not players.

Well Crowd control is very vague, also that other topic despite how long it has been there is not getting the Devs attention for whatever reason.

This is a very long on ongoing issue that has plagued the game since Beta, and for whatever reason the Mods and Devs continue to ignore it as a major issue. To some it may not seem like much of an issue, but to those of us that Run certain things as events, whether they were meant to be or not, we need the full functionality of our linkshells.

As of right now short of reporting this topic to the Mods and Begging them to respond I do not see what other options we have to get a firm comment from SE regarding this.

Edit: Milestone 200th Forum Post for me /yay

I agree as well, we are now on your 2nd remake due to inactives. Being able to promote/demote/kick from anywhere regardless of whether or not the play is online would be most useful.

An in game LS announcement or message would be nice too, we put most of our events on our website, but its hard to get people to go without spamming "Go check the website" all day...

Also, very nice Soukyuu, Hymmnos off to the side....

I agree with this post, I even liked it.

I'm bumping this too.

Having a competent ls system is an integral part of building a community. Building a community is a key part of retaining players. Retaining players is a key part of maintaining revenue.

I like this game, I really do, but I see red whenever I have to deal with the LS system. This needed to be addressed six months ago. I'm really surprised such a simple common sense fix has yet to be implemented in six months of play. It's not like it's some debatable feature like the aggro icon or auto attack that even needs the slightest bit of deliberation. It's unanimous that people want this change and that they wanted it yesterday.

that other topic despite how long it has been there is not getting the Devs attention for whatever reason.

Could also be because people are split between that thread and this one, both getting only half the attention.

Bump for great justice.

that other topic despite how long it has been there is not getting the Devs attention for whatever reason.

It's probably got the attention, just because they don't post in every thread doesn't mean its not had their attention, in fact having it in the correct sub-forum is more likely to get their attention

- Being able to kick offline members is really important otherwise you are just forced to break and start again.

- Listing online members at the top of the members list would make sense.

- Adding current level and class to the list of names. (or an option to click a name to get more details)

- Being able to put up a message of the day.

- When player was last online.

- An info sub section with the ability for leaders to type upto 1000 characters of information, such as website addresses and vent details.

I forgot to mention where the user is when they are online, that also needs to be added to linkshell stuff.

Jinko the reason it is not in that subsection is cause I'm lazy lol I never really go to any forums but general and I assume most are also the same way.

I am a linkshell leader, 100 members ( 75 inactive, 25 active )
I do have members that need to be kicked,
I am unable to do so,
I patiently wait for the day where we can manage our linkshells properly,

One of the few good things AION the MMO had was their linkshell management menu/page, you had everything there, EVERYTHING. you could know who had played when and for how long, you knew who was active and inactive, you had the DATA to make choices and to manage the legion / linkshell,

FFXIV is missing a lot of basic, take for granted, stuff,

I'm very disappointed with FFXIV and Linkshell management is one of those disappointment,

Signing in for this, many people complain about it and we're not getting any info. Don't know if they have it planned for companies but i don't care, i want it for linkshells.
