    Thanks for all of the neat stuff in this update!
    A quick question. I'm a little confused about what this part means.
    2X the locked cooldown timer sounds like its twice as long as the locked cd? Then it says usuable 2.5X faster than normal cd?? Does this mean that if the skill has a 15s cd then I can only use it once every 6s (6 x 2.5=15) even if I put it in a deck 5 times? (It will draw into an open slot and be on cd?)

    Question for @DarkStarr : i read the list of patterns from the add on store and from drops. How about pledge items? Before i salvage and lose one forever..will they have eternal patterns this release or is that not yet implemented?

    Does piercing shot get this as well? It's a fairly useless ranged skill that seems to be looking for a niche.

    Really great job with a short month devs!
    A little concerned with the direction of pet use though. I think the taming system could be really interesting and fun. I hope the devs have a plan for a major overhaul of it to put it in that direction and make it worth the cost to train it.

    If it is not listed it does NOT have an eternal pattern yet.

    Does that mean if it's not listed in your R39 Release Notes post (OP) or does that mean if it's not listed on the tooltip of the item as providing a pattern?

    Reason I ask is because I just tried to salvage a Viking Helmet on QA server and although it is not on your list it says it provideds an eternal pattern in the tooltip in-game... however, the salvage button did not light up. :(

    WTH!!! Glowing NPC's with quests is the same as having a "!" or "?" over their head.
    I am one not to complain too much about the changes but this change is totally against the promises/design direction they have always pushed. Port even made fun of it by giving hats with "!" and "?" on it. I would rather see the hats on NPC's than them "Glow" like some magical enchantment is on them.

    If you read the notes it says specifically that you can toggle ON/OFF, whichever is your preference.
    Don't want any hints, then turn them OFF.
    There, done !

    I read the notes but honestly it's a cop out for them to say that. Why not make everything optional that way.
    Why not give people the option to PVP with the and not loose anything. "Want to loose items in PVP turn it ON"

    I can't think of the reason why they added this. They have always promoted talk to everyone to get a quest immerse yourself in the story and play that way.
    The only reason I can think of is they are worried the game is too hard and people won't play the game. And it is a bandaid to having a good new player experience and turning the game into hand holding.
