Title: (req) Remove Teleport Animation
Post by: BASEBALLDUDE on March 31, 2013, 04:03:55 PM: Jitspoe, can you please get rid of the animation that takes place when you teleport in the next version? I think it's a near-pointless feature and it looks bad on some maps.

Post by: BASEBALLDUDE on April 02, 2013, 07:56:56 PM: I would have to disagree. I don't think there needs to be any animation at all when you teleport. But if you don't think there's a problem with the current animation, then that's fine.

Maybe something like the Nightcrawler teleport effect would work, since it's nice and quick.
