Future improvements to the New Lodestone?

[Daenerys]

It would be awesome if there was a way to preview each of a character's class/job sets, instead of only the one they logged out with. Maybe take a snapshot from the saved in-game gear sets (perhaps only the one with the highest level for that class, as I may not be the only one with a couple of afk looks that use ACN as the base class).

Any chance of re-instating the Like button that is internal to the Lodestone?
I will not use any of the non-FFXIV social media systems for this. And if you check many of the Japanese blogs that used to get lots of Likes, it's now completely dead.

And hopefully the image upload change will not require people to use other non-FFXIV sharing sites.
I was at 11% usage on the old Lodestone and with the new Lodestone I'm at 100% right from the start. Screenshots were a big part of what I liked to share on my blog... so basically it's completely unusable for me now. ><;

Any news on an RSS feed?

[Iamcardboard]

So I realise my FFXIV RSS feeds have dried up and figure it's because of the new lodestone, I go to update my link... wait... what's that? no RSS feeds? This makes no sense!

Please bring back RSS feeds!

Additionally, I can't find the Official Blog anymore, I used to have an RSS for that too. Has it moved? anyone know where to? (Admittedly, I haven't given the new Lodestone much of a rummage yet).

Oh, found it! http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/

Another Lodestone maintenance, and still no RSS feed added.

Come on, SE, the old Lodestone had this feature!



Strike while the iron is hot, right? You need to have news out there flowing while everyone is still abuzz with excitement and people want to read it! Instead, news is drying up and going quiet.

When can we expect to get our news feeds back?

Hello,

Apologies for the wait, but we are currently preparing the Eorzea Database for release and it will take just a short while longer. Once the schedule for release has been finalized we will be sure to make an announcement!

I asked people with the iPhone and in Libra Eorzea, the promised database on item drops isn't in there either.

So is that part of what you're working on as well? Or is the Libra Eorzea just a slogan that will contain no material and we are still expected to build our own databases and turn to third party database sites?

Note that just the ability to browse is not enough these days. It may be enough in 1970, but not in 2013. :3

[Rowyne]

Okay, the Eorzea database is now live.

Is an RSS feed for news topics next on the to-do list?

The Dev Blog has one...

[Moonapple]

I donno what RSS is but I guess people loves it.

I like to point out that I find the FC activity list is too much filled up with achievements and logins of member. I only check it too see if someone has made a blog or responded in one.

• I suggest splitting up blog activities + forum activitis from logins + achievements to different tabs
