Generally, all feedback around animation speeds and wanting the option to skip them or totally turn them off have been shared with the team. I do not think they will ever get the option to be turned off, as they can prevent a number of issues, as mentioned > [@Jeto](#): > > when you access Quests and then go back to Explore it would skip, which again is a bug, as that need to play out or the state of each Explore node breaks without it. Just like in other video games where the loading screen is embedded in a cut scene where you are opening a door, or squeezing between a crack in a wall. And as you are all aware, spamming in the game can cause crashing and we have released fixes in the past to prevent the ability to button/click spam because they cause these issues. If there was a situation where we could ensure that didn’t cause crashing, maybe it’s something the team would reconsider. Currently, ( **I imagine** ) it is more important to ensure players are not experiencing game crashing or potential resource loss. Also, every time I have brought up this feedback, I’ve not gotten the idea that the team are maliciously making you deal with animations or have them in cos they want you to sit in the battle longer. Again, I can pass this on as always --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/update-9-4-patch-notes/90160)._
