Hangarback Walker still uses slow spawning animations for Thopters.
//Edited title - Daiane
When Thopter Spy Network spawns tokens, it does so faster than Hangarback Walker does; Hangerback Walker shows you fullscreen Thopter card for each Thopter it spawns.
Afterlife tokens also spawn slowly, e.g. from a Seraph of the Scales dying.
I’m noticing that these animations for all tokens seem to punish you for the timer kicking in. Chains without token animations resolve much faster and throw a lot more cards onto the boards than when tokens are being used. Also, adding Path to Discovery seems to exacerbate the situation as well.
Ah, my mistake. I had to reinstall my game at the weekend to fix it after the Tour de Ravinca event caused all my other events to crash. Upon reinstalling I forgot to turn off the Card Visual Aid.
