What do you do while in the loading screen?

    The load time would not be such a burden if the game software did not malfunction so often that I must log-out, then log-in again, or, sometimes, quit entirely and run File Repair from the Launcher Game Options menu.

    The instability and unreliability of the software has become a serious impediment to enjoying the game. It totally trashes any sense of immersion.

    On the other hand, reloading does require a pause long enough to make it worthwhile to get up and walk around for a while. Sitting too long is no good for the body.

    Switch the game off and wait until it's fixed (if ever).

    I would tolerate longer loading screens then we have now if only my characters would not fall through the world and die every time I log in! Talk about ruining the immersion.

    Hahaha I thought I was the only one that happen this.

    Count how many times "This may be an unusually long loading time" appears. It's not unusual anymore. Bad joke much ZOS.

    Resist the urge to ALT-TAB or I'll spawn out of the map and fall to my death from the sky.
    Though the shadow has moved not,
    A thousand miles I’ve passed –
    Ageless as the mountains but forgetting not the past.

    I read, the forums, or listen to a documentary. I have a laptop beside my computer monitor that I can turn to. I have a TV as well above my laptop but I haven't turned it on in years because youtube usually has what I want.

    Or level to 50 in another mmo, depending on whether I'm more hungry or bored.

    Play solitaire on my phone. I'm often surprised by how far I can get while waiting for Rivenspire to load.

    PVE Days: Wish they would give me more bag space.
    PVP Days: Wonder why I bother to PVP with fps between 9-11 fps.

    Sometimes I go urinate. UR-IN-IT.
    Sometimes I feed my pets.
    If I plan on going into Imperial City districts, I go do the dishes or vacuum the house.

    I guess they intentionally made new content have so many loading screens barriers because they knew we would die in our own feces if we just kept playing.

    Xbox loading times don't seem to be all that bad, sorry to hear how the other platforms are acting up. :(

    At least you can text chat though! ;)

    I do sometimes pester my hamster on the occasion I do get a long loading screen!

    I usually like to read a copy of War and Peace, by Tolstoy. Sometimes I read it 2 or 3 times depending how long the load screen takes.

    Snort! I lol'd!

    When I was little and remember my Dad saying something about needing to rotate the tires, I remember thinking: Isn't that pretty much a given whenever you drive anywhere? xD
