LS Chat

[Nayt]

My voice for this. Especially the cycling of LS with something like repeated Ctrl+L pressing

As a fisher, I approve of this idea.

Heya!

I sent not long time ago this to the Feedback & Suggestions sector:

Hello, Final Fantasy XIV game developers!

I was just thinking about an idea about the chat along Linkshells.

As I noticed while playing, some of my friends and other players really dislike the fact that you have to switch Linkshell in a menu to talk with another one.
So I was thinking of this: Making the chat commands useful to switch from Linkshell to Linkshell.

Since those are numbered each others (you can see the [#]<Name Surname>, where the number states the number of the Linkshell), it can be possible to add a variable to the /l command, a variable with a number, so at the end we'll have something like /l#.

/l and /l# can coexist, as their use would be this:

- "/l Heya!": Chat with your actual Linkshell.
- "/l# Heya!": If the number of the Linkshell equals the actual one, just chat with your actual one. If not, it Switches the active Linkshell to the one corresponding the number, and then sends the message.

You are free to discuss this, and see what's wrong or right =)

See ya!

I don't have a second linkshell but agree this is a much needed feature, in fact the linkshell system needs a good overhaul in general. The ability to kick people from the shell without them being online or right next to you (we have people who have quit long ago and cannot remove them...) It's not a MASSIVE deal but I would prefer a tidy LS list.

I lead two linkshells and find the LS functionality terrible at best across the board. Why this hasn't been adressed by now is baffling to me. Everything having to do with linkshells seems like it was given almost no thought at all.

Come on SE, this is vital functionality for creating a sense of community in-game. It needs to be adressed.

YES PLEASE.

[Rutelor]

Absolutely!

Bumped and signed.

I have 2 LS and this would make my life to muuuch easier lol

I'm all for this! It is such a pain to swap linkshells to reply to someone asking a question, especially if you are already in a conversation or are crafting/gathering. As it is, it is not very convenient to be active in more than one linkshell. :/

This would make my life easier.
