Petition for 'Back button' on battle sequence.

[Hellspawned]

Battles resolve near instantly, yet we get stuck watching the battle sequence. this would not be a bad thing if it did not create an unbalanced advantage for those who are running better machines. Also specifically during guild warfare, being stuck in a lagging battle sequence while your fighting for territory creates unfair advantage for the opposing guilds. as well as in baal and cerebus event. Absolutely pvp in these events, but again battle sequence lag creates unfair advantage, especially for example if my guildmate is in a race for 1st, and i attack the guy he is racing, that poor guy is stuck in battle sequence while he falls behind in baal. if i kill him and he dies, he already has the penalty of having to re-enter baal, and losing time, if he has a slow machine, he has to wait for the sequence.... this would also solve the issue of battle sequence freezing up in labyrinth. or in pvp in general. and allow you to get your stolen map off the boat without having to go through 25 battle sequences before you get to see the boat again.



Agree? Disagree? Thoughts?

In Baal/Cerb the one minute cool-down starts when the battle is resolved before the battle scene starts, so unless the battle scene takes over 1 minute there is no disadvantage. I do not know what happens if you are attacked or revenged while moving towards Baal/Cerb.

In the Caribbean the battle scene is a problem because if you steal a map while the boat is docked you can not unboard until after the battle scene is over. I have had the map stolen back from me because I could not umboard.

Yeah thats annoying and i have better example. Yestarday during Ragnarok i was fighting some guy and that was very interesting fight and it should took like 90 seconds cus my pc is slow, but after 60 seconds have past - battle was interrupted by next one in queue - so i couldnt even finish to watch previous one... and thats bad.

The solution to all problems are "x2 battle speed" button and "Skip battle" button.

If you manage to stun lock baal the battle sequence can take over a full minute, and if it does your toon doesnt run toward baal under the battle sequence flash. it waits for the sequence to resolve before moving to attack again, losing precious time in a race for 1st place. Happens to me often. If a back button was provided you could back out of the lagging sequence, or choose to watch. I believe in this scenario, x2 battle speed may just create more lag issues.
