Idea for Loading Screens

Is it possible you could change the static loading screens to maybe a short movie, we have time to watch one now!

lol. good idea. I had a suggestion a while back. I still think it would be an awesome addition.

This is a pretty simple concept. ZOS should add some links to the loading screens so that players can view the latest news, announcements, art & media, patch notes, development posts, community posts, and their lore library (once they earn it, and after they have selected a character) while the loading screen churns away.

The menu shouldn't be intrusive so players can enjoy the art on the loading screens.


Selecting the menu should bring up the same information that can be found here:

The Lore Library, once earned, should allow players to read the various lore looks they have found



Once loading has completed (including the loading of textures of other characters - doing away with silhouette-men), the Uroburos will stop spinning and change to an enter command and players are given the option to enter the game at their leisure.


Player's characters shouldn't enter the game until they initiate entrance. This would help with the issue of loading into death.

Anyway. That's about it. Give players something to do other than watch the spinning logo, twiddle their thumbs, or decide to play something else.

I'd love access to the lorebooks during loading screens.

Does it take that long to load on consoles?- I mean those loading screens I have seen so far last just seconds, there is no time to read anything.

It's strange since in my loading screens, I never have time to read the first lines of text about the lore or the delve I'm going in before it changes to the tip lines and then to the game.

Exactly, @Karminathevamp

This is my biggest complaint with the loading screens. You're entering a unique area, with a unique LS text, and the text loads, is up for two seconds, then disappears before I can read it to be replaced by some meaningless text about some gameplay element that I learned in my first week. This, of course, hangs on for thirty seconds.

Because I really need to know that the only real gamemasters have the special Zenimax symbol by their name! (Not that I've ever seen one ...)
