Would you like Chat during Loading Screens?

SlayerTheDragon

Would you like to have the chat window available (and functional) during loading screens?

No

Dont want to give ZoS a reason to slack off from fixing the loading screens to be honest

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.

Couldn't care less, the private chats available are so much better than in game chats - a chat box for console is needed, removal of aoe caps is needed - but here buy our new mount hahaha

Yes

So you vote No because you believe everyone should be cool like you and get an Solid State? Way to be productive. Well done!

Anyway I do have a SSD, but since everything you do in game goes into a loading screen it might be nice to do something other with your time that read the SAME tutorial message from 2014 beta days.

And make them longer just to process messages? No, thank you

Yes

Sometimes it would be nice to be able to inform the rest of your group about the loading screen.

No

Count yourself lucky to have a chatbox at all, I'd rather they spent their time learning to fix everything they've managed to break rather than trying to impliment more pointless crap which is beyond their abilities.

On console, we do chat through load screens but for text boxes, those should not be present during loading because the user interface doesn't lay over the game....it's a part of the game that's loading.

Yes

Would be helpful!

Yes

Right. While it may be nice to have, it wouldn't be possible, as in order to have a chat box, the chat system needs to have loaded.

Yes

It's not like a single player game where SSD drastically reduces the time it requires to load a level artwork etc. There is other stuff going on with the server and client. I have two SSDs in Raid0 and often the loading screens for Cyrodiil take ages or time out.
