Animation speed

Am I just imagining things, or are animations loading more quickly now?

It could just be that my WiFi has finally stopped cutting in and out, but I swear.. things are moving faster.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    things might be moving faster but not as fast as they used to be at one point (remember they have slowed animation speed down due to complaints from other players)
    also sitting through 2+ fabricate animations when you kill first AI creature is dreadful and I cant imagine why it hasnt been fixed yet how hard it is to implement so they all trigger at the same time rather than one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one

    Also I find it much harder to match 3 gems when they are energised there is something that is putting me off but hey Im sure our glorious UX dept have sat with dozens of focus groups and this design was tested many times

    It varies for me. Sometimes it is lightning quick, other times the AI takes 10 seconds to match, then it goes slowly.

    Yeah, I guess that's what happened to me. It's all going as slow as usual now. Maybe it was because I was playing at 4 am on a Sunday and there just isn't anyone else on the game then. Nothing to slow the servers down.

    Occasionally I'll have a "superspeed" game as well. Never knew what caused it, but you're not alone.

    That happens mostly during a lengthy cascade and/or after a second Time match-5 in a row

    No, that's not the phenomenon I'm describing.

    Occasionally, I will start a game, and everything will move much faster than usual. It's as if there isn't any server or processing lag at all. It's quite refreshing, and occasionally lasts a game or two before returning to normal speed.

    It's very noticeable, but I have no idea what causes it.

    Most of the time I actually have the feeling the KI would need some seconds to think about what to do.. Gives a little "true" pvp feeling!
