Animation time and cast time are not necessarily the same thing. Usually they are the same or close, but not always.

For instance, Dual Pistols>Hail of Bullets lists a cast time of 0.00, because of the defense buff. The animation time is still 3.something seconds. Hail of Bullets starts recharging as soon as its cast time (of nothing) finishes, which means it starts recharging while the animation is going.

The new enhancement window at a 4:3 aspect ratio. Note that it looks basically exactly the same as it did before Issue 17, except it's a little crisper.


The old enhancement window at some unknown widescreen aspect ratio. Note that the icons are not round and that the blue "title" bar is misshapen. The further from 4:3 aspect ratio you got, the worse the distortion was. I had ovals for enhancements on my 16:9 widescreen. Player speculation places the old enhancement window as being up-scaled from a very low resolution, so there was pixellation for basically everyone who was playing at 1024x768 or larger, and additional distortion for widescreen users.


The new enhancement window at a high resolution (1920x1080), 16:9 aspect ratio. Note that the icons are round and the blue "title" bar is not misshapen, and it is crisp and clean looking. The extra space at the end is because they updated the screen to utilize higher resolution/widescreen monitors. It's dynamically generated, too; set to windowed mode and you can see for yourself that the enhancements window scales as you make the window smaller/bigger. It's not some conspiracy about future more-than-six enhancements feature.

The abysmally small enhancement level text is the only thing not WAI, although it probably is WAD.

The announcement says the patch notes will be available after the patch (the patch notes have *always* been available after the patch, for the whole history of the game). Any time after the patch is included in "after the patch", even three days later. Just because you don't like how soon (or not soon) the patch notes become available after the patch doesn't mean that "after the patch" isn't true.

ALSO: If you're downloading a patch, that means the patch server is up, not necessarily that the game is available to play. GENERALLY, yes, the two coincide, but several times it has not.

I use Firefox with NoScript and AdBlockPlus and basically never have issues unless I leave my browser pointed at the forums for too long (like several hours) without changing pages (like when I go to work). Never have the "remember me" issue, never have the "go to new posts, except the post is from three days ago and I read it already" issue...

Correct. The first time you complete a respec trial, you get Transmogrified. The first time you claim a respec reward (regardless of how many times you've done the respec trial previously), you get Stalwart Medallion. When you turn in your respec at Jack Wolffe, the text on Stalwart changes. Statesman Star and Freedom Cross always have the same text, you don't have to turn in your respecs.

You don't have to be registered with the Titan Network to look at their forums and check out the threads already posted there and the responses from the Titan team.

Nine times out of ten, your problem has been posted there and you can save yourself the effort of making a new post here.

The OP said he'll be showing her the ropes, which indicates he'll be there with her. I would presume he'd monitor her location ingame.

Additionally, a parent could say, "Gross things happen in Pocket D, up to and including people who want to do bad or naughty stuff to or with you. Go check it out if you absolutely have to, you'll see what I mean; it's not a pretty experience." Warns the child of what can happen, but does not encourage the child to actually GO THERE... you're telling them they can go there but they'll be disappointed, which takes a LOT of the impetus to go there out of the equation.
