StanCo's Guildwork: Just Set It, and Forget It!

[StanDarsh]

Wow was not aware this actually showed up in-game too. May have to invest in this and spread the word to some friends.

Glad you guys like it =)

Hey everyone!

Some of you may have noticed this week I released Guildwork XMPP which allowed you to use Guildwork Chat on your desktop or phone IM client.

Today I have a treat for all FINAL FANTASY XI players who are (or will be) subscribed to Guildwork Premium.

After you setup XMPP you just have to enable remote chat in the staging settings.

After that you will receive tells on your IM client. If you want to send a tell to someone you can do so using this format.

<character>@ffxi.<server>.<your character> e.g. [email protected]

Enjoy!

This is awesome. Just checked it out. Awesome work Stan!

Merging together the multiple threads about this topic.

[edit]: Please use this thread in the future for any Guildwork announcements you'd like to make.

Merged threads again.

Guildwork Windower Plugin =)

[Haborym]

Now that Guildwork runs on both Windower and Ashita, we are looking for ways to push the limits of what it can do. We, the Windower team, are a very small team, and essentially can only envision so many ideas—that is where we look to you, the FFXI and FFXIV community respectively.

What do you want to see Guildwork do in the future? With the exception of VW atma levels, we can receive all character data except those that pose a security risk. Are there any features you would like to see modified or expanded upon in the current build? We are looking for feedback from users capable of sharing ideas that push the limit of what we can achieve.

Magian trial info. I'd have loved to be able to search for other people on the same trial when I finished my relic. A possible weather notification for trials might be nice too but the core idea is to be able to work on trials.

+ an option to maybe seek individual for a group of people doing events:
Meebles
Salvage
Einherjar
Legion
Limbus
etc.
Basicly a possibility to "seek" for somethign on guildwork, so when people try to start a static they can just search for people on guildwork that are on the saem server and interested in the same event.

EDIT: if possible would be nice to also set up a specific day time in the seek where the person has time to play FFXI

Can you track game events? For instance, campaign or besieged initiation/duration? Can you parse every character and include mob/buffs/equipment?

To build on top of this idea, would it be possible to build a full fledged "Dungeon Seekeer" functionality?

Say, you are usually online Mon, Wed, Thur 21:00-23:00GMT and during that time you'd be interested in doing Meebles, Einherjar/Odin, Salvage, Legion, Nyzulv1/v2 or work on your magian trials or clear remaining T7/T8/T9 assaults. You could also put in what jobs you want/can play for each event and any notable gear (mythics/empies/relics/magian staves etc) or skills (I'd personally want to sift through zero Magic skill SMNs/BRDs/SCHs for example). And a comment/message from you for each event.

Then someone seeking to make an event could either click "Find compatible people" and it would list people who play the same time and want to do one of the events you listed OR one could click an event and search people currently online/offline who want to play the event at a specified time and/or have a job/gear you want.

Linkshells could put out recruitment notices for events they do but don't have enough members and could specify what gear would be freelot for non-members joining. Well, I suppose some would want to have an option to list R/EX gear and price they can sell to non-LS.

You could determine a time limit after which your event expires (say. you might not be interested in Meeble Burrows in 6 months). If magian trial gets completed, your event would be automatically taken out from GW. If you start a magian trial, your event would be added to GW.

There should be a way to detect if a person is afk even if online (either detecting no keyboard/gamepad input, /away status or a /gw away command).

There should be an option to ignore people on your /blist and make a blist on GW where you can add people/linkshells you don't want to team up with. You wouldn't show up on those people's search results and they wouldn't show up on yours.

Character data eh? Hmmm, how would a currency viewer functionality?

Examples on top of my head:

Number of Beast/Kindred/Crests/Hcrests stored with the NPC in Jueno
Number of Ancient Beastcoins
Cruor/other Abyssea currency
Assault Points/Nyzul Tokens/Einhenjar $$$

etc

Can NPC stored armor be retrieved? (Moogle, Salvage dude, etc) -- I suppose it doesn't matter but since I've only just got back I've been storing dynamis gear that dropped for me on a spreadsheet so I don't lot the same piece again over someone that needs it.

Would it be possible to have a page for guild pattern items? Have it automatically update everytime someone with GW checks the NPC (similar how bazaars update when someone with GW checks them)? That way they would be 100% accurate (whereas FFXIAH's page is sometimes wrong). That would be truely awesome.

Would a real-time updated campaign and besieged page be possible as well?

Other than that, proper full-on Android/Iphone/Whatever app with Remote chat, dashboard, shouts, guild items, the fucking lot. I already pay premium and I would also happily pay decent dollar for a proper App. I'm sure many many others would.

Automatically updating the guild patterns would be so awesome I couldn't stand it. Peeps actually update it incorrectly on purpose or by mistake I haven't a clue but nothing more of a pain than arranging to have the wrong item to turn in ><....

Magian trial info.

I looked into this last night—its a possibility we have, but we need to dig a little more into the info we are receiving. But it's a good ideas, so we will do some more digging.

This idea is a little out of scope at the moment.

We can get gear stored on slips already. Are you looking for an option to view all of your stored gear?

The guild patterns seems like a great idea—one we missed.
Campaign and besieged pages seem doable off the top of my head—but I will need to look into how to implement it a little more, so stay tuned.

As for the native Android(yuk), iPhone apps; they are in the works. Well, to be honest a full iPhone app will be out much before an Android version but both are a little ways out. We currently are updating the codebase and design of the current Guildwork so the last few pages can be porter over. Expect some iPhone app updates in the coming months.

As for the rest of the questions I need to do a little more work to give you an accurate answer.

I suppose, yeh, I can imagine this feature would be handy as ultimately we'll probably forget some possibly useful pieces collected with that niche'd use. This is probably more applicable to the people that play a lot of the jobs with them tricked out, as it doesn't apply to me yet. Just the slips is fine really, as that's where the black hole is primarily. The old set storer, the special events item storer and salvage gear holder guy are less important as they're easier to track and are less important.

Looking forward to seeing what you find out about the currencies. Running to the desginated NPCs to view them is painful somewhat.

I see the KIs are now listed, could they be organized by the NM they pop. I would love to see who has a glavoid pop or a chloris pop and buy it from them?

Maybe you could even have it so the linkshell members are all on a grid or organized so I can see who has what KIs for tonight's events.
