    I am ALSO experiencing Endless loading screens, something that hasn't happened to me for many months. I play daily, this is a post-patch change in behavior - 100% sure.

    It is getting worse and worse for every hour that have passed since the patch.

    Game is practically unplayable by now. You spend far more time on load screens than actually playing.

    Could be due to extra server load as well, but regardless the result is the same.

    I was playing fine yesterday until randomly I hit a 5 min load screen to get into Banished Cells. The entire group got stuck loading for 5+ solid minutes.

    Yes, and LOL at ZOScast for asking us if it's an issue with OUR drivers. This game has probably the worst performance of any MMO I've ever played. Actually, it definitely has the worst performance.

    Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

    Zoning, Logging In and even going in and out of buildings takes a huge amount of time. But, zoning and logging is taking the most.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I know the results of that poll will probably be biased, as more people experiencing the issue will vote, but it still something that they should be looking at. It's annoying, really.

    SOME of my normal loading screens seem to take longer than normal, but then some are super fast.
    Although, any loading screen into a delve seems to always take a very long time.

    I have not put my effort into playing with addons/settings etc. yet though, so could be something on my end. First priority is the figure out the stuttering problem that I haven't fully explored yet.

    I have absolutely no problems with lag or FPS dropping that others are complaining about, but I have definitely noticed a difference in the loading screens.

    It doesn't seem as severe to me as to some of the people in my guilds that really get stuck for ages, but is taking a few minutes longer which adds up due to there just being so many loading screens. One quest I did yesterday sent me into so many different areas I felt like I was on loading screens more than I was playing.

    Its Definetly much worse than before, even takes me long time to get to wayshrines that arent populated (there is a reason i try to avoid the Belkhart and Mournhold wayshrines, Loadingscreen express).

    Not just zoning from instances to outdoors and the other way around, the loading screen for logging into the game or when you relog is already pretty long lasting.

    It's like changing my SSD hard drive for a hamster wheel.

    I'd guesstimate about twice as long zoning between areas (especially into a crowded city), because they can take nearly 30 seconds now; though to be honest, I never counted before, because it didn't seem overly slow.

    What is the working theory why this could be happening?

    Initial Login Loadscreen and Wayshrine Loadscreens seem to take forever. At first I thought it was the usual, first login, after patch long loadscreen but it happens everytime i login.

    How many of you are using the MasterMerchant addon? It was tied to some infinite-load-screen bugs. Chances are it's not the only addon adding to load time.

    suggestion , after any major patch, turn off your addons, until they update them.

    I know its mostly impossible for u addon addicts :)

    I don't use that particular addon, but I do use others. Having said that, I'm experiencing longer load screens both with addons active, and with all addons disabled. Also, when swapping characters I've noticed it's not just the load screen that's taking longer - it's also taking longer for me to get back to the character select screen.

    Even if you're in windowed fullscreen, try not alt tabbing when loading.

    I know it shouldn't matter, but it might work.

    Getting to character select screen, logging onto a character, changing zones, logging off to char select, logging back on from char select (to same char as before or different one), everything.

    For the record, I have not gotten anywhere near Cyro or IC since the patch.

    Apart from loading screens, today just after login I have to wait ~30 seconds till all the other players become visible for me.
