When I first read that post, all I heard was, “We have made the game less enjoyable.” They used way too many syllables with a ridiculous explanation, and when we have our next Vault weekend on 10/23, people are going to lose their patience.
Can’t they do server maintenance, rewrite the code, or do something else? There was a good reason we were skipping animations. We do not like them. The vast majority of players actually hate them.
The poll below only represents a very small part of the community. If most people voted, I bet close to 90% would say that they want the Explore animations removed.
