So will we be getting alternate ways to farm/create verses for GAPs? As it is farming E1s during vault weekends is going to take much longer with the animations between battles.
And the GAPs will be returning less items due to the slow explores
edit: If you tap the explore tab on the left of side of the screen during an explore run, the animation stops and the next fight pops up immediately. However, that breaks the UI and you cannot pick side quests unless you back out of the kingdom and go back in. Then side quests appear again, but the animation returns until you tap on the left-side explore tab again. lol
Not too bad of a problem if you just want to blast through explores and ignore the side quests, we shall see how it works during the next Vault event.
We lose about 2 seconds after every battle from the idiotic pathing animation on the Explore map. Over 1 typical 15 minute GAP period, we are throwing vault keys and resources out the window.
“This looks so cool, and makes Explore so much more interactive!”
They seriously need to stop wasting our time with unnecessary, flashy effects. With as much grinding that we need to do to catch up on shiny troops, gold farming, PvP, etc., we are trying to be patient, but we are already at our breaking point. (And many of us have already left).
I suppose I should be glad I’m almost at the point in the game, after just over a year playing, that I don’t need to farm traitstones that much, since that will also be a chore, ahem take more time, too. hmm.
This change is not only uncalled for (because it adds zero substance to the game) but also works against the very goal that the development sets out to achieve. Per development themselves, at least one change of the 9.3 patch is to “improve the flow of battles in the (explore) run, reducing the interruptions between battles”. This 2-second animation after every battle hinders flow of the game to the point I think the explore is borderline unplayable now. This is such a shame because time was spent to add more content to explore but I am afraid many people, me for example, will not spend time to play updated explore because of this.
Hello, whether on a computer or a smartphone, exploration has become slower due to the animation of the path between battles.
It makes me not want to keep playing.
Please, @Jeto , pass this feedback along.
Just tested it, on PS5. Nope. It’s definitely slower. It’s less time wasted than watching the full animation, but you still lose a half second or more, that you didn’t lose before.
It used to be near instant to jump from one battle to the next. It got slowed down with the new kingdom screens and the lag in game, but this update has slowed it even more.
Hmm I was tapping the explore tab on the left of side of the screen and the animation stopped and the next fight popped up immediately, but I couldnt pick side quests unless I backed out of the kingdom screen and went back in, then they show up and the animation comes back until I tap on the tab again.
Strange, guess it’s a sort of work-around.
