Feeding multiple horses at once

Currently the loading screens are taking significant amount of time, such a long time that I stopped feeding horses of my alternate characters.

Some might say: have some patience. However, I am running multiple SSD's on an OC'd i7 processor, I am used to the most heavy games loading almost instantly. I simply don't have the patience to do so.

As such, I wanted to suggest the ability to stall your horse, and have one character have the ability to feed all the horses in that stable, so people with multiple horses do not have to spend half an hour just logging in and out to feed them.

    You don't feed your horses anymore, haven't for awhile.

    You train the Riding Skill on that character so it wouldn't make sense to train the skill of a different character.

    I hear you about your load screens, tho.

    It is the same thing. Riding skills are character based not account based.If you want to train your alts you need to log in once a day.


    Loading screens do appear to be more problematic in some zones. If you park your alts in a low pop zone it helps. Don't train your alt riding in Mournhold if EP for example do it somewhere like Greenshade. It helps...I think.

    Or here's an idea for more efficient inventory and time management on those clerical duties for mains/alts...

    I draw my inspiration from Neverwinter for this because the gateway portal they designed for outside game management allowed for a browser to link to your in game account character and do trainings etc (seamless movement between characters on screen).

    So, linking our accounts to a browser/phone app so we can switch between our characters and activate riding training, research items from inventory/stash, post items into stores/banks from inventory or stash... Basically, the inventory management clerical duties that especially with the longer load times are becoming an extreme chore. One thing that should not be added to this though is writs as personally I feel you should be logged in for that since there is an actual "delivery."

    Implementation of this would likely be hellish and more like a phantasy as it would change a fair amount of game dynamics but hey, ideas are ideas right?

    Here is a better idea - just let them "stack" unused riding lessions like daily enlightment. Then you could do, say, up to a week worth of riding lessions in one go - would be good for those casual players who due to their work schedule cannot log in each day, but instead polay a full day each weekend...

    Personally I log on each alt everyday to do my writs, so I just suck it up. The long loading times are annoying though.

    Hmmm, the title of the thread isn't really the issue you have here lol. Like you mention, it's the loading screens that are causing you the most pain. So do-da-do do-do, "Getting fed up of multiple long loading screens." is probably a better title.

    But I understand, we are all tired of the loading screens and we are also all tired of hearing about people being tired of them. We know they're working on it and all we can do is wait(lol) and hope that this gets resolved soon.

    Unfortunately this does not seems to work. I tried it and while various characters loader a few seconds faster or slower it was not dependent on what region they were in. IDK, it might have had more to do with their level or their inventory.
