Lycus -> RE: Bring back animation and in battle cheevos (1/8/2015 2:43:27)

One of the main reasons for the removal of the animations and the ability to see achievements during battle was to prevent lag. The animation does not cause too much lag, however telling the game to load extra things will always cause it to do so at least a little. With the fact that there are now symbols to reflect a lot of these buffs and nerfs etc. having some of the animations in is simply an extra drain on resources - with the amount of people who complain about and experience lag anyway (for whatever reason), it is best try and limit it on the games end as much as possible! I do understand wanting a variety of animation though, and I cannot comment right now on what may come in the future, because I simply do not know. However there is always the possibility of improvements being made if time is available for the developers to do so! As for Achievements, this does cause a lot of lag since it creates a big spike of trying to load a lot of stuff at once. This can cause lag not only to the player loading the screen, but to other players in the battle, which, when in battle, is frustrating! Again, I can understand why this feature is liked and why some want it back into the game... However I feel when you have 15 seconds per turn and for the most part it is best to keep watching battles so you do not miss anything; it makes it so adding it back in simply causes lag and people to miss turns, I know that this did happen before quite a lot! Just my opinion on it though, since I can see the other side of the argument too, it is nice to see achievements or at least have the option too!
