"Waking up at the table"-animation

  • Why is this even a thing right now? Was it really intentional to have us wait for this animation to finish everytime we enter a new server? Wasn't this for new players only the first time they entered the Adventure Mode?

    Please remove it!

  • @mathemoto seems like it will appear everytime until you finish the weekly "fate" quest

  • @othersean it happens to me every time I log into the tavern

  • @coldsheep my bad. I misunderstood OP as referring to the animation where you remove the dagger from the letter while waking up.

    Yeah that animation is... Unpolished... I always spawn in standing upright able to see the mysterious stranger, then the animation plays with my head on the table...

  • I wouldn't remove it I kinda like it
    I would change it to different animations every update like Duke's location

    and just make it optional to have on/off

  • Pros: Its something new and interesting. Gives that feel of awakening to a brand new adventure, Session.

    • Also helps annoy those wanting to Server hop xD

    Cons: some days you just wanna jump in, but what is a few extra seconds? Option to turn off or least change it up, maybe 4 different animations.

  • @burnbacon personally I think a better option is to only play the waking animation when a player receives a mysterious note. After that they can just pop in like before.

  • it's rather annoying in my opinion

  • Or your stuck in that animation and someone kills you while you can't move

  • I'm fine with it. It's just a few extra seconds and it's more immersive than just appearing in the tavern. I just wish they'd line up the height that your head is at at he end of the animation and when you gain control of the player.

  • I don't mind it.
    It's not like you are considerably delayed. It takes a few seconds. That's on a normal xbox too.

    Like somebody is just sat there in the tavern waiting for you to spawn in? Doesn't sound likely to me.

  • U do the wake up thing every time u log in and u take the note and dagger every week. I like it the first time i hop on each day but not each time i server hop.

  • It's happened already to my nephew, spawned in at the table and heard himself being blundered and than danced on lol.

    Agreed, this animation is quite annoying. Especially since it cannot be cancelled in any way (or at least none that I know of).

    It's a bit funny actually, they spared us the mandatory login cinematic, but then made the server spawn animation mandatory. Well, let's look at it from the bright side! At least we don't have both being mandatory!!

  • I think it's a way for textures to load up so you can't notice that.

    I've never noticed texture issues as I load up in the past though.

  • @mathemoto Yeah it is ridiculous, I've had it happen not only in the tavern but when I spawn on the ship, why is it a thing? no clue, should it be a thing? most definitely not!
    It has to be unintentional otherwise whoever planned that to be a feature is just... no, it's just an unnecessary annoyance, it even plays twice sometimes.

    Except I see a blur on my pirate's tattooed hand every time that takes me out of the experience as I recoil in utter disgust!

    I see them with every single piece of equipment I pull out for the 1st time in a session - an ugly blur that snaps into focus. Sometimes it's so slow that it will show the default sailor cosmetic before switching to the proper cosmetic!

    And I'm on an Xbox One X with a SSD!

    On a side note, I can't wait to pick up my Xbox Series X, with the hope that its superior processing power will fix these annoyingly bad issues.

    Found your problem right here:

    I'm on an Xbox

    :D

  • It was a nice surprise the first time I logged in after the update, probably could do without it now though.

  • I don't really mind it yet since it's like a second longer you have to wait but i rather see it gone next update since in the long run it will be a pain I'm sure.

    don't get a fight started mate he's libel to hit ye with the but of his pistol to knock ye out

  • If it didn't do it twice and was smooth I wouldn't mind that much.

    As of now it's starting to become infuriating
