Wayshrines, level loading and losing gold

Statscales

Hi,

I'm new to this game having recently bought it for my Xbox One and have been recently going through the Dark Brotherhood DLC. I've not got too far into it having only just completed my first contract, however I've noticed a really irksome bug regarding the wayshrine system. I'd just completed doing the first contract and had just been leaving the guild area to go back to the Gold Coast and noticed that it was taking an exceptionally long time to load back into the Gold Coast area. I mean I'm a patient man. I waited 45 minutes before finally giving up. Having decided that I couldn't walk through the door to get into that zone I decided to use the wayshrine to get there instead. I waited again. 30 minutes this time and it still didn't work. This is where I noticed that using a wayshrine uses gold, I knew this but what I didn't know was that it uses gold BEFORE you've even got to your chosen wayshrine. As the Gold Coast didn't load up I lost my money and this is where I hit another big problem, I didn't have any more money left to use a wayshrine to get anywhere else (yes I wasted most of it much to my regret). With no money to use a wayshrine to another area and no way I could get into the Gold Coast through the door I figured my character was just taking up a valuable slot so I deleted them.

I rerolled and thought I'd try again, only the bug is still there for my new character as I can't use the wayshrine (or boat) to get to the Gold Coast. At least the boat is free. I've looked around and couldn't find any evidence of this happening to anyone else, but even so wouldn't it be better for the wayshrine to deduct your money when you actually get there? It would certainly solve this problem.

As for the Gold Coast itself I still can't get it to load up even after completely resetting my Xbox One and reinstalling everything from scratch, but I guess that another matter. My main problem is with the way that gold is deducted.

you shouldnt be charged at all to use a wayshrine, if you walk up to one and activate it,

i think you are actually using the fast travel directly from map feature.

and regarding long loading screens - they are the bane of players

i am on xbox and i find quitting the game from dashboard and re loading and attempting again will usually fix it.
occasionally i have to load a different character before trying the original character - so i do recomend having at least 1 spare character if only for this purpose
it is not ideal - it is frustrating - but its also a work around!

Yes, I stand corrected I am using the fast travel system. I'm getting confused because the target is usually a wayshrine. I've since discovered that the wayshrines are actually free to use. I'm still having problems getting into the Gold Coast though, everywhere else loads up within around 5 minutes.

I've not tried loading up another character and then going back to my original one, I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
