Are The Deadlands bugged now? (watchlings/loading screens in AoI)

Basbor

To keep it short: two recent problems are occuring in The Deadlands.

1. There are no Watchlings spawning anymore. Neither in The Deadlands nor in the Atoll of Immolation. [The Watchlings there are an essential part of an antiquity-lead!]
2. You get long loading screens (2 mins. and more) in the Atoll of Immolation (when you enter and also when you hop from portal to portal). The loading screens in The Deadlands behave normally though.

Can someone confirm this?

I can confirm super long loading screens inside the Atoll of Immolation (both Blackwood and Deadlands versions)

I can also confirm the long loading screens in Atoll of Immolation. These were the length of the PS3 Skyrim loading screens.

both a friend of mine and i had minutes-long load screens last night for the blackwood atoll.

Guess they deployed the wrong source code's branch that do not include the fix for the long loading screens. The Watchlings issue is something new. Perhaps they disabled them in order to make a fix to the exploit inside the Atoll of Inmolation?

I also have exceedingly long loading screens inside any Atoll of Immolations in the Deadlands, like minutes long loading screens.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin could you guys investigate what's happening, please?

The Watchlings are there, but you can't see them.

I killed one with "Flames of Oblivion" skill which fires automatically at a target.
The flame went into empty space hitting something and when I investigated I was able to loot a Watchling, although no corpse showed up.

So the Watchlings are INVISIBLE now. (btw. the Companions can see and attack them)

Something weird is going on in the Deadlands. Was there this weekend scrying and ran into either a Dremora Flame Adept or Arsonist (can't remember which one) who hit me with 28K damage with an invisible beam attack. I saw the red AOE under the attack, but not the attack. The death recap had him hitting me over 20 times with it, even though I only saw it once.

This was not a roaming Havocrel, but a regular old add. Never seen that before.

Yep can also confirm on PC/NA that NO watchlings are anywhere in Deadlands or Atoll of Immolation, but something invisible keeps attacking me, it might be the watchlings but even when my companion kills them (they are the only ones that can hurt the invisible Watchlings) there is no loot. Haven't gotten this drop for antiquity yet so this sucks.

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Bug Reports section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.
