Qurazy Quoin message

would it be possible for the OMG...Quazy Quoin message stay on the screen a few seconds longer since by the time the page finishes loading, the message is gone and I only notice it in chat, sometimes several streets later?

  • Actually, I believe the message doesn't appear until the street finishes loading, so keep an eye on the local chat window while you are waiting for it to load. It only appears in the chat window IIRC.

  • There definitely isn't any message on the loading screen unless it's a first visit Quoin.  I've watched.  They've said they will do something about this - add an alert of some kind.  Edit: Stoot's post to that effect.

  • The screen message appears when you are visiting a street for the first time.  If it's not your first time, the only place it appears is local chat.

  • It's especially tricky when a Qurazy Quoin appeared on the previous street and nothing happened on that street to add another message to the local chat, and one appears on the street you're on now: for less than a second the message lightly flashes. Very, very easy to miss unless you stare at it.

  • There's usually a picture of the Quazy Quoin on my load screen.

  • Every time you visit a new street, just glance at local chat, there's always a message there telling you there is a quoin on the street for you.

  • @Credulous Ralph - exactly.  @ WindBorn & Lynnt   ok, sometimes we "ADD kids" have trouble remembering to check local chat after about 20 streets :/ @ Ocsarette, I hope so

  • Lynnt, you're right.  New streets have both, old streets only have Local Chat.

  • I wish there was some way to distinguish which street the message was for. Sometimes I'll get it on one street, go to the next street, and then can't remember if the chat message was for the street I'm on or the previous one. :(

  • I try to pet or harvest after I collect the quoin.  Puts a spacer in so the next street shows up separately.

  • What kills me is that a lot of the time, the message will remain the last in the chat for several streets after it's relevant, fooling me into thinking there's a Qurazy Quoin on the street I'm on. :/

  • I believe armi is referring to the growl text that was added on the main screen (and is what Stoot did something about). This is a lot easier to help identify when Qurazy Quoins appear on previously explored streets than trying to remember to keep checking local chat. However, as armi also observes, it doesn't stay there very long so often you can miss it by the time everything loads. If the growl text could stay put a little longer, or show after a slight delay of entering the street, that would be very helpful.

  • As soon as i've collected a Qurazy Quoin i pet a pig or a tree just so's it shows up in chat. Then if i enter another street and it tells i have another QQ to collect i won't think it's the same one again. Learned from experience always to keep my eye on the chat otherwise i've been missing the QQs and can't afford to do that!

  • The addition of street changes to the local chat log has helped this issue for me a lot. Thanks devs!

  • Got to love it when QQ's show up in Naraka.

  • I think it would be nice if an (unfaded (seriously what's with the fading?)) icon of Qurazy Quoin showed up where the buffs are when you are on a street with a Qurazy Quoin - then disappears when you've got it.

  • Yes, the street change notifications have been a big help!
