Load screen - CONSOLE FORMAT

d3nbark3r

Before I move on to the next area of the game, I always go for the master explorer achievements, I enjoy the exploration and the little bits of lore I discover along the way.

I find a ruin..... enter said ruin.... and am presented with a load screen. Said load screen displays interesting information about the ruin I have entered and a bit about its history...... thing is.... I never get to read this information because despite being literate and having a more than capable reading skill, I get two or three words into the piece of text, and it decides to change to a piece of useless help information of which I learnt at the start of the game, and they rotates through said help tips until the ruin loads....... WHAT GIVES?!?

The load screens are long enough surely to allow the lore information to stay up for at least 10 seconds so I am able to read the text and then display the useless help tips -.-

This does need changing lol. Irritating.

I've noticed this as well - it's really annoying.

I've also noticed that it often takes a long time for the icons in the text to load (such as the button images). So there is often a gap in the text for a while. "To dodge, you can press the ......... buttons. "

I almost posted this same topic the other day, but thought I would just get trolled/flamed into Oblivion.

This drives me CrAzY!!!
I like to read about where I am entering...NOT the same "tooltip" I have read while entering the last 300 areas I have visited.

Yeah sometimes they manage to jam 2-3 screens of text. I read really fast and usually can't get through it before it switches.

To be honest the community on this forum doesn't seem to be all that bad. I trolled someone once..... called them silly for wanting an unarmed combat skill true with MMA abilities, immediately got a warning from MODS for it... so guess they rule with an iron grip.

But alas, it is most irritating. Would be a pretty simple fix too!

Exactly lol. 2-3 screens of useless tips, but literally 2 seconds of lore.

Pretty much 2 seconds of everything.

Dunno what they did to break it. It isn't like that on PC. Pretty much only 1 screen per load. probably an easy fix if they notice/ can wedge it in the schedule.

To be honest they need to just close the servers for a day or two and fix absolutely everything that needs to be fixed.

There is actually so much wrong with the console release that 2-4 hour maintenance windows are not going to suffice for all of the problems that need to be dealt with.

Quite frankly, despite the fact that it's obvious they had a mammoth task dealing with a game of this size, and I do applaud them for what they have done, it actually isn't good enough really that they released a game that had already been released on an alternate format with this many problems.

Read faster? Funny, I've never had the problem. 3 or 4 seconds for 2-3 lines of text is plenty of time for me. At least it's not as bad as Dragon Age: Inquisition where you're expected to scan full pages of text in the span of about 10 seconds.

There are a bunch that are 4-5+ lines and unreadable (especially Delve and POI description load screens)

Well that took longer than I thought it would.

I guess I haven't run in to any of that yet. Mine are almost never longer than 4 lines of text so I don't have a problem. I guess I'll need to refresh my Evelyn Wood Courses if I ever intend to get through the later ones.

It is possible it is a bug that doesn't affect everyone.

On Xbox I often get 3-4 different sets of text in a fast load time... almost blink speed sometimes. On PC I would get 1 or maybe 2.

It is minor for me because I'm on my 4th VR char, but I have friends that miss game /button tips because they go too fast.

Did you not read my original post in its entirety? or despite what you claim, do you have problems reading yourself? haha! :')

I read works of literature on a daily basis, and have studied literature extensively throughout schooling and further higher education, I can pretty much assure you that it doesn't have anything to do with my reading capabilities, but I'm sure that is a bit obvious considering my vocabulary is possibly within the top 5 percent of English speakers, especially as most people you come across within modern predominantly English speaking societies seem brain dead in this day and age.

The text I am referring to stays on screen for as little as 1 to 2 seconds, not even that at the best of times. Even through skim reading there is no way that anyone could properly take in all the text provided, unless they had some kind of photographic memory of which is extremely uncommon, and if I can not, I guarantee there are others in a worse situation than myself.

I guess the length of time the text is displayed could alter between different areas and/or alliances , but even then, I still don't feel it's good enough. :')

Yes I've noticed this too, it is annoying, I'd like to know a little more but don't get to read it

Winterpsy

Thread necromancy - Forgive me in advance.

Wanted to send a reminder/desperate call about this into the ether, in hope a tiny tweak would be implemented, so the Load screen lore will stay for longer and the load screen showing tips vanish sooner.

Not sure if that was a design choice, but we are missing a lot of area info, given on the load screen, because it's cleared by tooltips we've seen for the thousands time, and know by heart since tutorial (etc how to roll dodge).

Mighty_oakk

Yeah i have had this problem as well. I always forget that I need to speed read them

ProfessorKittyhawk

I've noticed this as well, and if I'm not mistaken, it seems they're going to be implementing the changing load screens on pc with the IC update. Seem to remember seeing the loading screen text change during load screen on the PTS. Definitely not a change I feel is needed or wanted.
