I like the idea of usability updates, such as automatically going to the next trial, but I feel as if this may lead to more people forgetting about opening the checkpoint packs. Reset is basically retreat as Nathjan said.
I would, however, like a constant visual for how many rounds you are at in battle -- there's been a lot of threads and confusion about losing an entire team when one reaches max rounds. It would be nice to see how many rounds you're at, since some fights can last a very long time and it's easy to lose track of rounds when you may be chatting or something while doing Survival.
