Yeah. I cant imagine anyone bouncing around the map that many times in an hour. Not unless theyre purposely doing it to rack up Loading Screen Time for a fictitious argument about loading screen times.

Well a general breakdown of my day to day routine goes more or less like this:

Character A - Log in (load screen). Collect hireling mail. Port to home faction zone to pick up daily writs (load screen).
Port to Craglorn to turn in writs (load screen). log out.

Character B - Log in (load screen). Collect hireling mail. Port to home faction zone to pick up daily writs (load screen). Port to Craglorn to turn in writs(load screen). log out.

Character C - Log in (load screen). Collect hireling mail. Port to home capitol to pick up daily writ and undaunted pledge (load screen). Port to Craglorn to turn in writs (load screen). Port to dungeon to complete daily pledge (load screen). Port back to capital to turn in pledge (load screen). log out.

That's a lot of load screens to get through just to get my dailies out of the way and that's with only three characters. Imagine how long it would take with eight or more. That's also assuming I don't get stuck in the infinite load loop or the game freezes up while loading and I have to force the client to close, restart it and sit through another series of load screens. It's getting to be a serious kill joy at this point.

this does take the longest amount of time i agree. but the loading screens aren't longer then 20 seconds

I was just commenting that assuming that the OP's claim is totally fictitious is a bit unfair. There are situations where going through numerous load screens in an hour is possible. Such as doing dailies with alts like I do or say if someone wanted to do a marathon of delves for the sake of map completion. It may not be a common place occurrence for everyone all the time but it can happen and it is more than a little irksome.

As for load times, sadly mine generally tend to be about 40ish seconds (sometimes more depending on time of day and just where I'm trying to load into).

read my comment above that i agree with you

Say long loading screens last a minute and there are 15 loading screens an hour... That's 15 minutes of "downtime" every hour... I play an average of 4 hours at a time. For a daily player, that's 1 hour of "downtime" every day. If ZOS maintenance decreases the loading screen "downtime" to 15 seconds per loading screen, that's less than 5 minutes of "downtime" an hour, saving over 40 minutes a session... Playing daily, that's 280 minutes a week... Almost 5 hours! With a 30 day month, that's 1200 minutes saved... That's 20 hours... 5 sessions... There's your "compensation." Thanks ZOS...

If you're changing zones that often something isn't right.

As a magicka nightblade, Im able to stealth pass almost all mobs.

So I get thru quests faster than those who dont, since mobs gives poor exp at Vet and quests are more efficient.

I'm probably missing something, but why do characters A and B port to their home faction to pick up writs? I was under the impression that it doesn't matter where you pick up writs, they will be appropriately leveled to that character's first passive in the given craft. Doesn't really matter with character C since you've gotta go pick up pledges anyway, but if all you're doing on a character is writs I don't think they ever need to leave whatever area they turn those writs in.

I have a couple characters that have pretty much just set up camp in the Belkarth bank. I just log in (load screen), run out and grab writs, craft whatever needs crafting, turn in writs, re-enter the bank, log out.

Can't pick up writs in Cadwell's Silver and Gold zones. So If one of those characters isn't in a home zone or Craglorn already I have to move them there in order to pick up the writs. Some days I save my self some time just going straight to Craglorn for the writs but occasionally I will do pledges on Characters A and B if it's a quick and easy one so sometimes I'd have to make the trip to a home capital.

Still, even if I do park characters A and B in Craglorn to save time, I'm still going to have sit through roughly eight or so load screens just to do my dailies across all three characters. That's also assuming everything goes well and I don't get any random load screens while trying to move around town, crash or get disconnected and kicked back to the log in screen.

My point was just to show that multiply load screens in a short amount of time can happen as a part of a normal gameplay sometimes. It may not happen for everyone all the time but can and does happen. To say that it can't and/or to insinuate that anyone who claims it does is making it up or doing something wrong is untrue.
