Since the 0.9 patch, hints for me show up for a quarter second and disappear.  I’ve probably read most of them, but now I can’t see any since the patch.  Considering few people probably spend 60 seconds searching for loot, why not while searching for loot?

Has this been reported yet?  It’s yet to be fixed…  They always show up for a fraction of a second, never enough time to read.  I know many new players could find them valuable.  Considering a new patch is to be released in a few hours, it may be too late, but how is this going?

 

My main concern is new players who see a hint and get the impression it’s only for extremely fast readers.  I’ve yet to fully read a hint when I saw it since the change.

It’s not really knowing the hints that bugs me, it’s seeing text show up for a quarter of a second that bugs me.  But, for T1 players some of it could be really helpful.
