same old question [About Qurazy Quoin notification]

the previous thread was closed after receiving no comments for 30 days but I would appreciate a staff response: why does the message "OMG a Qurazy Quoin has appeared for you somewhere on this street!" appear at the bottom of my screen for a fraction of a second and is gone before the splines have reticulated, yet every other message, including the exciting " You got 2 Sheets of Paper!" lasts aprox 3 seconds?  I know it now tells you every time you enter a new street, but I still find it difficult to watch local chat and the main screen at the same time and I still continue to miss getting QQs, which I discover when I do read the chat 3 streets later.  wouldn't it be a small matter to just change the duration of the message?

  • It is a very small matter so the devs have probably made it very low priority on their "to fix" list, if any changes are even planned at all.

  • I know what you mean armi, so I've trained myself to look at local chat immediately upon entering a street. I can still get distracted by pretties on the main screen, but I find I'm missing far fewer QQs than previously. Hope this helps.

  • I agree, but I also with they wouldn't have the QQ right over the hole to IX, that one's a bugger to get. One second of lag and you miss it!

  • It would be helpful if the 'OMG' message in the local chat were in a different color, say red or blue.

  • Maybe a little sound effect upon entering the street if a QQ was spawned for us?

    Like this or something. >.>

    Perhaps it could be lengthened a bit; note we added it to local chat after an earlier request for more notification for redundancy sake. :)

  • We will add a little animated notification in the play area.

  • Any chance of some of this stuff being customizable? IMO, there is way too many chat messages and popups as-is.

    I do think highlighting exceptional things (QQ, Rube) makes sense, but the problem is those are drowned out by the messages from harvesting and a better idea is to reduce the volume of regular messages.
