No Animations

[nustarz]

I would like to have an option "No Animations", which disable card animations, attack animations and some of the number animations.

Sometimes Elements slows down heavily when animations take place. I even had it happen one or two times that Elements caused my browser to use 1.5 GB Memory and slowed down Elements to the point where I had to restart the browser.

And on older computers Elements is very slow to play, so people with those would benefit also (I already play with low graphics).

It's not your memory that's the problem. It's a flash game and that doesn't affect memory, but it does affect CPU usage. On a dual core system, it could just barely run a duel with both fields full of creatures at a decent rate.

But I do agree, that would be nice to turn off, or get some kind of less heavy animation choice.

I agree.

And not just for slow down, but for mindless grinding because... it's mindless.  Games would go by faster.

I guess it could be useful.

Thumb up'd

Zanzarino just mentioned in the chat that for 1.22 he is planning to disable as much animations as possible when playing on low quality.

Yeeha.
