Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

I can get behind mnm adding a ‘loot all’ function. What other qol things are in aoa that aren’t in the mnm ui? I can’t recall wow well enough to recount all the various things. But I know qol is very subjective; I certainly wouldn’t want quest npcs highlighted like in wow but some may consider that qol for example.

It's been a while since I've played either game, but here's what comes to mind:

-Target window 'consider' values (level, difficulty, faction)
-Direction arrows to group members
-Static maps
-Floating combat text
-Clickable quest text prompts
-Shift-click gear/item comparison functionality
-Dynamic tooltips using mouseovers (spell ranges, countdowns, etc)
-automatic spell interrupts on movement or target death
-queue large batches of crafting to continue offline
-chat bubbles
-searchable quest journal and NPC conversation log

All of this may have changed, so take with a grain of salt.

The main two things I saw in AoA that were a nice upgrade from anything I'd seen in any MMO to date were in regards to chat.


1. The Chat box setup having all the options in one window pane rather than various sub menus was so nice, especially the all off/on options and the checkmark boxes to choose what you wanted in a window.





2. How the floating text chat worked when around other players. They did a really good job having a popup window show up when talking without it being intrusive. At first I didn't' even notice it but once I got a feel for the game it was quite well thought out and helpful in combat situations. I didn't have to look at my chat boxes and could follow what was going on in the group chat while maintaining concentration on the fight.

As you can see below where the player said "Enjoy".






There's likely more but those were the 2 biggest two things that I thought were a nice QoL change that didn't take much effort.
