Linkshell Guild Halls

[Immortaldonut]

I would love to see NPCs in the guild hall that sold commonly used items (i.e. echo drops, poison potions, eye drops). It would make things like this in a centraly located area, and leave no excuse for members to not have said items. These NPCs could also sell items made available by ls leaders via the bank (i.e. icarus wings). They could set the price that these items could be purchased for, and members would have all the items they needed to be prepared for events coming up. It would also make it so the items could be paid for by the ls bank.

I could see that being espcially nice for the shells with lots of 100+3 crafters

I want to have sex with Yuriku's sig. ; ;

She would look better if she ate a few cheeseburgers. Put some meat on them bones.

I fed her a few cheeseburgers.... much better now. :D

And C cup >> D cup ftw.

All of this would be cool. I don't see why SE doesn't do stuff similar to this since they have tried to make this game so community oriented. The LS system is very impersonal and could use an overhaul. If there were more things that accomplished "LS goals" like the furnishings, it would help combat the problem that I see everywhere, which is mainly greedy "I play for items for me" players. I don't know about you guys, but I play the game to hang with my LS mates, and to strengthen my LS to be able to take on the tougher things.

Yet another idea I just got is to be able to use furnishings like in your moghouse, but they give bonuses to anyone with your linkpearl on. Some furnishings only drop from new HNM's in Aht Urgan, and have a SE-style horrendous drop rate, but give ridill-like bonuses (not the same hitting bonus, but something of equal badassness).

Treasure Hunter 5 comes to mind!!

But she looks like her stomach was run over by a car tire now o_O

Anyways. Break pearl / view complete list is a must and needed to be implemented with the creation of the game.

Auto reminders in /LS, yes FKING please. "What are we doing today?" "What dynamis we doing today?" "Any plans today" Every stinking time someone jumps on that never logs out XD.

As for /o chat. TS ftw. Seriously VoIP and our very own LS site has made our LS structure x10 better.

I have another idea about LS management. I'm sure everyone has had an LS member spout off about so-and-so doesn't deserve a drop in LS chat, and that just isn't healthy for the LS. A mute button for admins to use on members would help with that, although real assholes usually just send /tell's to the member that should be basking in the glory of the drop he got, but instead has to hear hate /tell's about how he doesnt deserve it. Then there is the option of blacklist for said person as well.

Another thing that would be cool is attendance counts, but I'm not sure how that would work with some people leaving events early or arriving late.

[Sensed]

A system that interfaces with the linkshell community website that SE just released. Allowing people to update information on the web from in game, and game from the web.

Maybe something like officers can post a list of events online, and then members can provide feedback from within the game about whether they were there or not, check what events are when etc. Once that info is ported from the web into the game it could be made available in a variety of ways, much like the "View House" menu. Could "View LS Hall" or something and get access to all that information.

Well as SE has always used the "PS2 Limitations" i doubt we'd get one but, there is another MMO I played that had a very well balanced "guild storage" system.

It broke down into as many "lockers" as you wanted, and you could assign access per member/per status. So you could have general drops in one folder with everyone having the ability to add/take and then a folder for higher end drops that would only allow certain people access as you designated it. but also gave the ability for EVERYONE to see what is in the "locker" as well.

There was also a "Guild Bank" setup where anyone could make "donations" to the fund and see the history of who has deposited/withdrawn from the account. This gave everyone a idea of what members were spending the money and who was actually contributing. A far stretch and I know the game aint amazing to some but CCP has done a hell of a job with guild management, you should give EVE Online a look see if you're curious to how it works.

Being able to rid people of their EX gear as they "pass on" and dropping it into a collected safe >_>

This is the best idea mentioned so far. I can't imagine how many ridills and 3 king bodies my LS would have if this were the case. We've had so many quit. I think we only have like 2 active ridills left out of the earned, 10+. Like 2 out of the earned, 10+ A hauberks. Maybe 3 active dalamaticas out of the earned 15+. I don't think we really have any active Koenig Bodies anymore, our one Kaiser body is the only really active one, out of the earned 8 or so. It's sad really.

But this idea would be great. The idea that people can sell their character and the items that the linkshell earned for them sickens me. It's kind of like how somebody can spend like 5 points on a Kirins Osode and then sell it for 50m but I RDM spends 7 points of a Dalamatica and can't sell it. This option would make it so LS earned items were the property of the LS, and only "loaned" out so to speak to the person that used points to obtain it. That way the said person couldn't douche out and leave the ls without automatically being stripped of all that said lses Rare/ex gear they earned for him.

Also, the idea mentioned concerning popable prototypes was nice, it'd be extremely helpful for teaching new members in the LS stuff that they don't know. I can remember a few times when we'd have new members at Fafnir doing seriously stupid stuff like standing back away from the feet and curing and stuff. But ya, popable prototypes would be so essential in getting those strats down pat, but then again it'd allow even the biggest idiots to practice their asses off and be able to walk into a Ouryu or a B2 and have a chance at winning, just from all the said practice.

Lastly, the idea of having Furnishing for the LS Guild House is the most unique proposed idea and I think it'd add a whole new level to gameplay. This would be so undescribably kewl I'd cream myself. i.e. Dynamis Lord Wall Mount :: Increased AF2 droprates in Northlands Dynamis. (Hey I can dream )

This whole LS Guild House idea is insanle creative. Somebody should compile it all and make it neat and then send it to the developers. Hell, even more than one guy could do it, I know I'm going to do it. But remember, the more who suggest it the more likely the Dev team will begin to consider it as they keep running across it while reading the emails. Go go guys! (And none of that PS2 limitations shit, you're all being too pessimistic, just hope for the best and do something instead of making excuses on why you won't take the effort to get something you want!)

Ya, I came up with that idea about the furnishings and the prototypes out of the blue. This thread is a great idea, and is filled with great ideas. I made a thread in my LS forums to see if anyone can come up with anything else. I plan on putting something together maybe and sending it off to the DEV team. Maybe I will post it here and people can copy it and send it as well.

That would be great.

[Aviendha]

since they have tried to make this game so community oriented.

QFT. Those community boards I doubt are ever used, because let's be honest, it doesn't take a whole lot of work to set up a free phpbb board that has more potential and versatility for a linkshell than their community portal, but they are trying for something like this.

There's alot of new ideas here, and a few (like officer chat, linkshell rooms) aren't very different from existing things in game. Not sure if this is exactly what he's looking for, but think some of these smaller more managable ones are something Bert might bring up with in questions with the development team?

NM was answered as I was typing my post ^^ thx dank

Hell, they broke BST's lone ranger style of play, everything requires multiple people to get stuff done, sure soloing is possible for a few things, but almost everything in this game requires connecting with other people. The LS system in play now is like a Flintstone-style car in the modern-day world.

I've wanted a mute button for soooo long. That and the sackholder/admin chat would be the coolest things ever.

In regards to the /o officer chat in the same linkshell. I think this would be amazing if only for the fact of the awesome MT when discussing who gets what drop. For the sake of drama, I hope we get this.
