New QQ Notification is Awesome [Update: I preferred the first version at screen bottom for reasons mentioned below.]
That is all.

Although the message in Local chat seems to be missing a little somethin': "O! There's a Qurazy on this street for you!" (Word 'Quoin'—which is a graphic in the game window—doesn't show up in local chat.)
And I so wish they were Qrazy Qoins without the "u." But that's just world-class nit-pickery.
-
Love it too but I do miss the OMG! The O! just doesn't have the same flair :p
-
Somebody probably got offended by the OMG, thinking the G refers to god instead of giant.
-
If you're hanging out on the internets and OMG bothers you, well, you're going to be bothered a lot.
-
@pascale Ha!
-
I like it. The little graphic in the game window is cute to me for some reason (and I appreciate the larger heads-up)!
-
In my world OMG stands for 'Oh my goodness'. Surely no one could be offended by that?!
-
*squee* I like it too! Thanks, TS!
-
Is it showing up really tiny for everyone?
-
The graphic on screen is fine. I didn't see *any* graphic in the local chat (but maybe it was too tiny to notice?).
-
It's normal-sized for me. The QQ graphic in the game window is a fine size, and the text is plenty readable to me.
-
Huh. Maybe it's some DEV thing.
-
this must be tested. make me a dev ;)
-
It is tiny but it is quite noticeable.
-
Mine's a little smaller than the actual quoin. Looks good! :D
-
I miss the OMG
:(
-
I read it in my head with a british accent "oi!" so then naturally, the rest of the notification follows... I may have reading issues.
-
Love Love this feature. I'm sure I've missed many in the past, but no more! It is perfectly sized imo.
-
O, it is exactly what I have been hoping for - thanks :)
-
Why is this notification now at the TOP and BIGGER? (I quite liked it at the bottom, which is where I look for street-related info, and more petite.)
If it's bufflike, it should stay up there until we collect the quoin or leave the street!
-
I miss the OMG too.
-
fwiw, i like it on top better. i *never* miss it there, and i do sometimes at the bottom.
second choice would be on bottom, large, with graphic. all is better than the tiny bottom message we had before.
-
Count me among those who miss the over-excited OMG! I loved it almost as much as the OMG! OMG! OMG! that I used to see during those last five seconds of learning a skill. Not that I ever hunched at the computer screen, finger hovering anxiously over the mouse, waiting to start the next skill or anything.
-
OMG lovers: duly noted. Thanks!
Toppers vs bottomers: we'll probably be playing with it a bit more still.
-
I like...the bottom :D
-
I liked it at the bottom too, it is where I look for the other information so it is harder to miss.
-
I haven't seen it at the top yet and already I don't want to...simply cos I liked it at the bottom..and I wondered where mg went to and a silly O was yakkin at me..bring back OMG.. and put it back to the bottom..lol :D
hehe I've always wanted to moan and never had a reason ..so there you have it.!!! :)...ahhhh that feels good!! lol!!!
-
I liked it at the bottom too, because I'm more used to notifications being on the bottom. Even though the font is bigger, I almost miss it at the top.
-
My two currants, since it's stated to be still in tinkering stage -- I was incredibly happy when it started showing up at the bottom, since that's where my glitch is and that's where my EYES are. I don't really LOOK at the top.
Now that it's at the top, and ridiculously large, I don't really like it. I mean, it's better than just being in chat where I only notice it four streets later if I'm lucky, but. It's off balance, it overlaps things and looks sloppy, and that's not where my eyes are.
I do kinda like the idea of the old, bottom of screen temporary alert, and then just the symbol itself, sized the same as, say, the teleportation cooldown, in that same screen area, until we pick it up.
But that's because I'm quite capable of forgetting that I was told it was there about three seconds later. >_>
-
Notification at the top rules!
-
Am I seriously the only one who likes "O" better than "OMG"? It makes me feel Shakespearean.
-
I liked it at the bottom better, for pretty much all the same reasons mentioned above. It overlaps other icons at the top, it takes up more screen space while still managing to be less visible, my eyes tend to look at the bottom, where my avatar is. At the bottom, it was very noticeable and out of the way.
I have no strong feelings about the OMG issue either way.
-
What if it was "EMG" (which obviously stands for ERMAHGERD)
-
I didn't even realize it was just the O at first. In my head, it sounds like Oy! ...but it doesn't matter to me if it is O! or OMG.
-
Now its GONE..completely.. :-O..Oh well I guess I shoulda kept me gob shut..lol :-/
-
i like the OMG (Oh My Giants)! and even if it was meant to be the other meaning, it's qurazy enough to say it lol
-
I love the new notification. I do wish that it stayed on the screen until you got the quoin, because I apparently have the attention span of a goldfish.
-
I'm with Knitomaton. Can you please keep it on the screen either until we get it, or until we leave the street. I, too, am ADD Glitch.
-
Now the notification is on the top and short-lived, which is moving in totally the wrong direction IMO.
Please: back to the bottom, and consider having it last until the quoin is collected or I leave the street.
-
Please keep it moderately challenging and as it is.
Thanks!
-
Or, consider my idea for those who really don't want to miss it

I think the most jarring thing, other than its disproportionate size and the fact that it seems to be the only notification that appears up top, is that it disappears suddenly rather than fading. So many other notifications and displays have a lovely fade, why not this one?
(Because my eye is drawn to a sudden change at the top of my screen, but the change is that something is gone, so I'm looking around for something that isn't there, and then jujus steal my rubies while I'm staring off into space.)
-
OMG! It say OMG! again! How awesome is that!
^5s devs!

"QQ notification"
I guess Im way too much of a gamer. I see this and keep thinking "QQ more nub!"
(as in...QQ = crying)
-
Jennyanydots: good point — it now fades very mellow-ly.
The reason it is not at the bottom is that it is not actually a growl and interferes with the display of "real" growls which can be tricky in certain situations.
We're also considering a buff which stays until you collect the quoin (and maybe even a little rotating arrow dealie which points you in the right direction, but if we did that it won't be soon).
-
@ stoot, but now it overlaps with the *cough* nearly-invisible already sufficiently illegible *cough* buffs.
-
I love the idea of a notification that stays until you collect the QQ. If I'm busy doing other things on the street, I'll often forget whether I've found it yet or not until I stumble over it. This is especially true in places like Balzare/Roobrik where I'm zipping around the street like an unhinged squirrel.
Any chance a little dot could show up on the map like Rube does now?
-
Should it disappear once collected?
-
+1 for the dot on the map ;) That could work for now until this arrow pointer idea shows sometime. I'd even be ok with a black popup box in the bottom right like when your plants are grown(a popup that stayed until clicked) I run to the vendor/shrine and then run off many times and forget all about the quoin.
-
Overtly showing where the QQ is would defeat the purpose of exploration and discovery, I think.
-
I think it's a little awkward saying Qurazy and then a PICTURE of a Qurazy Quoin. It's like it's saying there's a Qurazy Qurazy Quoin waiting for me somewhere.
Omitting both Qurazy and Quoin and having just the image of the quoin how it is now would get the point across.
-
It should say "OMGiants" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
