✭I have actually been able to cook an entire meal while I was waiting for the Cyrodiil load screens.
But I can answer the question with 'all of the above'.0 -
Donari✭✭✭✭Do other things with the computerMy longest load is when first entering the game. I browse forums, chat on Discord, etc. I haven't timed my in-game load screens but they are usually long enough to lose my attention so I check forums and Discord on the other monitor in short bursts waiting for my character to show up and be able to move around.
I wonder why it takes so long, really. I'm used to only needing a few seconds in my other MMO when I alt-hop or map change. Even launching that other game and fully loading in takes maybe 20 seconds. Granted I had to start playing ESO off my normal HD when my SSD copy borked beyond repair, but I don't think an SSD makes minutes of difference.0 -
Avalon✭✭✭✭✭Watch TVI'm on console, with my PC right next to me also. My load screens are only 5-10 seconds average, with the longest being around 20-30 seconds (and then, about 15 seconds in, it says might be unusually long lol!) And, all my friends I chat with have about the same, so this thread is making me wonder: Are the PC-load times affected by all of the add-ons you guys use? Or...? Why is the PC this way, while console isn't?0 -

klowdy1✭✭✭✭✭Put together, cook, and eat something from the crock pot. After that, there's usually just about ten more minutes of waiting.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Do other things with the computerTab target out and do something else. With so many long load screens in the gane, I spend more time tabbed out than in it.Edited by MLGProPlayer on May 20, 2018 7:11PM0 -

I don't use addon so I can't answer that. The longest load time for me is getting in the game, after that is the zone travel and housing teleport in and out. Entering and exiting buildings are usually pretty quick.0 -

Man, ESO has me wasting a lot of time over the years.1 -

✭✭OtherIf it's in Cyrodil, all of them, and I'm still loading.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.0 -
NovaMarx✭✭✭✭✭NothingI know I am in the minority here, but my loading screens are nowhere near long enough to actually do anything in the meantime. Even going into Cyrodiil isn't all that bad for me.
But kudos to those who fit in the time for some healthy exercise while they wait

1-2 mins. Sounds like something wrong with your pc that's outrageous.
Personally mine are no more the 5 seconds any longer and something fubar with the game. So not enough time to do anything pruductive.0 -
