Never got around to trying this out on test but I'm very excited to drop some phat bindings on mobs. Granted I only have, like, 4 combat perks but....

[MassDebater]

Now make the unique item message tell us where it is!

Bank > Large Backpack - Sniper

Inventory > Medium Backpack



etc.

[*]Timers are now available for all temporary items (ie: Grid Armor). Tool tip and Shift+click will now display the time remaining.

Pffff come on man.... Thats same thing like having no timer at all. It will make us hover over GA/spinner everynow and then, why is it so hard to make a hostile buff when you cast it? or something that is visible without having to actually check for it and pay atention to it :/

How about using a more descriptive name than "Binds". It says little to the non-nerd non-native English speaker. Even "Key Bindings" would be better, as it would actually tell something about what's under the tab. I assume this tab replaces the "Hot keys" tab, which, while not a perfect name, is ok. "Binds" does not have any appreciable association with the keyboard for those not "in the know".

Yea, I'm not quite enjoying the prospect of being hit by instantaneous Burst/Fling/FA/AS all in one button press by Soldiers.

[Gridpain]

yeah ... because pressing 4 keys is soooo much longer than pressing 1...

[Jerusha]

Good Log. Keep it up .

[bitnykk]

good technical changes around here.

I can bind burst/fling/AS all to one custom mouse button already, I don't because it is much better to time and decide when to fire each special, and if I do want to fire all at once I just roll 1/2/3.

Is this on test?

Yes it is and have been for a while.

[Jerusha]

Oh btw any eta?

awesomium, which uses chromium, which uses webkit.
flash; currently not on TL at least.

[Xatgunner]

Woohoo i love it all!
Only one question due to lack of english skill:

Can no longer enable or equip to Social Tab in combat.

Does this mean that i cannot fight at all with social enabled? or that i cannot swap between social/armor tab?

[Artyomis]

I was wondering if its possible to create separate standalone window that will display timers on temp items (ie Grid Armor) and move it around the screen as user wants?

It could be alot more useful to keep timer on control in such window instead of rechecking information screen on specific item. If client or server uses to store such information and act depends on it - then it practically possible to create such window, that will only display timer information without taking any actions on it.

[Kintaii]

Does this mean that i cannot fight at all with social enabled? or that i cannot swap between social/armor tab?

It just means that while you're actually *in* combat, you won't be able to equip anything or enable the social tab in the menu options. Long as you're out of a fight, it'll otherwise be exactly the same. =)
