Sick to death of LOADING SCREENS

Nothing you haven't heard before, so if you don't want to read my rant, just skip down and flag Agree. You do agree, right?
I'm just loving Orsinium DLC. It's the best thing that happened to the game IMO. But I am getting so tired of having my questing interrupted by long loading screens. They seem worse for Orsinium than before, because there are more of them due to quest design. The main quest is especially bad. I spend way more time in loading screens going in and out of Scarp Keep and the Temple than some of the quest steps. And that includes going through every dialog and listening to NPCs. It's like this: get next quest objective, BAM->Loading Screen. Do that objective, return to quest giver, BAM->Loading Screen. And during all those loading screens, my food and XP potion timers continue to count down. If I actually bought XP Scrolls, I'd be demanding a refund. Anyway, that's my rant. Just love the new DLC, but very frustrated by the loading screens.

✭I am with you buddy. I almost considered dishing out a few thousand just to buy a better computer if that would mean quicker screens1 -

✭✭✭how long are your loading screens usually? mine are never longer than 2 - 3 minutes and that is totally fine for me
yours are longer?1 -
icontested✭✭✭✭I couldn't be more excited for this on console. From what I'm reading..
Longer load screens
Disconnects
Arena that requires a lot of my time with all these other games coming out
New exploits
This is exactly the type of thing I like to spend my money on.
Hopefully none of this is trueVoted and Current reigning champion of most handsome ESO player of 2013-20162 -

Not longer, but more of them. It adds up. The quests could have been designed to do more once an area was entered. As it is, lots of quests require loading screens to access, a simple task to complete, then loading screen again on the way out, Too many quest steps take much less time than the loading screens to access them. But, hey, this is my ONLY complaint about the DLC.PC/NA/DCBreton Sorcerer Maester.White - BB meets GoT >Master Crafter< { 9 Traits completed 4/23/15 }

Stop saying BS nothing improved and still needs to get fixed, bugs and exploits trademark of eso so sad but true.3 -

Kellion✭✭Totally agree with OP. Love Orsinium but the long load screens just negates all the fun of immersive gameplay. I think the devs underestimated the effects of extended load screens on this game.
With all the new games being released this time of the year, (Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Fallout 4, Star Wars: Battlefront, to name a few.) I don't think many will choose watching ESO's lovely load screen art over having actual fun in these new games.

Daenerys✭✭✭✭All of the agree! I too love Orsinium, but loathe the foreverlong loading screens. Please fix! 2-3 minutes is not acceptable, and it is driving me bonkers that you have a bit of lore up for 3 seconds (yay lore! wish i could actually read it) and then 3 minutes of a ridiculous tip (boo!). Those inane tips are just rubbing salt in the loading screen wound, harrumph!1 -
talokb14_ESOSoul ShrivenIt would be wonderful if i could get past loading screens.. I've been stuck in Betnikh island for 3-4 days now and have no *** way off. 0

✭Agree, it just dilutes what was a very solid dlc. I find myself getting so bored from load screens I lose interest and just log out.0 -

Black ops and star wars are fun. I think they are forgettable as the FPS is getting stale. I am worried that fallout 4 will take 80% of the already few people who are playing. Load screens can be reasoned with but its getting old fast. Getting disconnected at a key moment might get old fast. I'm just hoping the group finder works well on console. There wont be many to play with and if the group finder doesn't work it will be very easy to play something else.Voted and Current reigning champion of most handsome ESO player of 2013-20160 -
WitchyWarrior✭✭✭✭I totally agree. I had a few XP scroll left I was saving for when this dlc came out, figuring that it would be nice to use since I'll be doing all the quests, discovering new areas, etc. etc.
But what a mistake that was! The loading screens ate up all of it. I am beyond mad straight to disgusted. This is real money spent! Wasted.
Why oh WHY can't they stop the timer on those things during loading screens?!?!

Well at least it is 2-3 minutes for you it is over 10-30 minutes for me to enter Wrothgar as well as to leave Caves and sometimes my computer restarts because of this but luckily I don't have crashes like other people.
This Loading pandemic needs to end as soon as possible for it is really driving me away from this game since all I want to do is experience Orsinium but having Loading Screens really takes the immersion and fun away from it.
