Key Quest Gets Helpful Upgrades

[hrtbrk]

Love Key Quest but are tired of play against users who quit mid-game? Good news! Now you can see how often a player has quit before joining a game with them by looking at a new smiley beside their name!

 

In addition to this upgrade, TNT also instated a mini-log, which will appear in the chat. This will log what happened each round.

 

From the news:

When you log on to play a game of Key Quest today, you will find a couple of new features! First, you'll now see smiley faces next to fellow players' names in the lobby. The various smiles let you know the percentage of games they've completed... from start to finish. ;) During actual game play, you'll also notice a game log in the chat window. It will keep you posted on eveything that's happened in your session, even if you're distracted for a second or a few.

 

Happy with the upgrades?

I just played KQ and figured they changed it a while back, weird. I like it though. Can we see our green, blue, purple, pink faces as well? I am pretty sure I haven't quit a game on purpose..

I guess it's...interesting. Good for the serious players but it seems like those who have had their computer die in the middle of a game or something like that won't have a great chance to play, since other users won't want to join their games.

Interesting. I wonder what color mine is. I have left a couple games, primarily because mum came home mid-game and uh.... she doesn't approve of Neopets. =\ Oh, and once because my battery died. That sucked. /ramble

I would like it if we could see our own smilies for this. I think I should be in the top tier (green smiley), but I wonder if some of the games I've had end abnormally on me were due to unknown errors on my end.

I tested these features and I think they will be somewhat helpful :)

Kudo TNT!

[MyNamesLindsey]

Speaking of which, my computer just disconnected while playing a game..so..yeah, great :(

It would have been helpful if I could type to players in chat and tell them if i'm experiencing problems, and if I have to quit because of it.

I too what like to know what my own smiley is. My old computer had a nasty virus that used to boot me off the net, it used to happen quite a bit during keyquest, so I am truely curious how it affected my smiley, as I've never intentionally quit in a game. I bet TNT did this because of all the complaining of quitters. Plus the new log will help catch cheaters!!! I'm glad they are finally regulating this thing.

 

Hey guys, I found out how to see what your smiley is. *Mine's green :)* You can see it if you have a side. On the account you regularly use go into keyquest and get into one of the screens that shows you everyone's smiley. Now leave this window open and open another one, log out of your account and onto your side. Now go into the same keyquest page as you did your last one and look for your regular accounts name, and there you go, you should see your smiley. Just remember to log out of your side before you play a game, don't want to get frozen.

The only thing I'm curious about this is, it says it counts how many you finish but does that take into account the games other people quit on me? It shouldn't but depending on how they wrote that program or what not, I can imagine that it might not make a distinction.

Ok maybe I'm just having a dumb moment but I can't seem to find the smiley. Or does it not show up in the low resolution version of the game?

I don't play KQ too much, but I must say that these upgrades will be really helpful! :)

I agree with this. I've had people leave on me LOADS of times. Would that effect my percentage?

[Divya Bean]

Yay! I hate hate hate it when people quit on you. What a waste of time!

[stephiime]

i dislike how laggy KQ is on my laptop that i bought like ... 4 years ago T___T

[Ashbash]

This is great news! I love keyquest. I would imagine my smiley is good. I think my computer has messed up maybe 2 or 3 times total while playing a game and I have played close to 400 games.

[Secre]

I'm going through the process of installing google chrome now to see what my colour is...I've had several computer crashes due to cheap second hand computers and a lot of people quitting on me which means games haven't been finished...

 

EDIT: Whoot I'm green! Happy days!

[lovedwallflower]

what the hell?? ive never purposely quit except for when im having trouble connecting and my face is purple. why??

[Masaryk]

I went and checked on a side account, I'm green! Yay!

[Spade]

I rarely play and haven't looked at it yet but it said it shows how many games you've completed. I don't think it will show a finish to unfinished ratio? X3

I think it is a good idea. I just don't overly like how it was implemented. It is great if you join into someone elses game but if someone joins your game you have no way of knowing what smiley they are.
