Farming for verses and after battle it takes a few seconds to press continue, top it off you then throw useless genies which guess what? You cant skip them either. Sort it out please this is annoying ---

You should be able to hit escape a 3-4 times in a row, and it should expedite that process, though I mainly explore on E1. The 1st escape press skips the victory screen. The 2nd press skips to the end of the rewards screen. The third press gets you back to the explore screen. The 4th press is needed if you have gotten enough mythstones to unlock the mini boss or mythic boss. The same basically works for the genie and demon random event. You can just escape before the text even shows up, and click yes, without seeing what the option is. You don’t have to let the text flow. The merchant is up to you, as is the angel. ---

Unfortunately that changed a while ago. Hence all the complaints everywhere and people quitting the game for good lately … ---

Just anothet poke in the eye from the devs. Everything they do seems to be anti player, and they things we do want get ignored ---

It’s taking much longer to get through pvp, gnomes and other events. I have enjoyed the game (mostly) for 9 years, but may have to give it up. I miss the quick skips past the bs genie and daemon. Gnome weekend is supposed to be about speed. The events that require you to use a certain hero weapon or sacrifice points have become torture. Games not fun or relaxing anymore.
