Please Do Not Remove Progress Bars
I'm not sure why a decision was made to remove progress bars from actions such as hooking survivors/reloading as Deathslinger/teleporting as Pinhead etc but please rethink this and keep these features. These features help with learning killers and the timing of certain actions, especially with perks/addons at play and being able to cancel a certain action before the progress bar is up. It makes no sense to remove features like this during a PTB that was suppose to introduce a progress bar to mending to make it easier to understand/learn and keep track of the mending state, just to remove it from other actions.

I don’t get the reasoning behind removing them either.
It’s just… why?

I mean just so we're discussing this accurately, the progress bars are removed from actions that can't be cancelled, as there is no need for a progress bar if the action can't be interrupted via any means… there are pallet stuns to consider, but beyond that there is no reason to have a progress bar.
The 3 examples given here are all actions where the "timing" of such things doesn't matter, because in all 3 cases there is no confusion of what is happening, you can't do anything else until the action is completed (in 2 cases you can't even move the camera). If anything you could argue the fact there is a progress bar is confusing, because it implies it is interruptable, when it isn't.
The only legitimate reason I can think of for one on these actions, is if there are perks that can be employed by the other side to slow these things down, having a progress bar would be an indication to the player that perk is in play… but since such perks don't exist (and I can't think of why they ever will), that doesn't warrant their existence.
Basically my point is the argument here is more of a personal preference rather than either being objectively better or worse than the other… soooo I don't really see an issue with them being removed?
