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

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/220449/informative-loading-screens-concept/p1This 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:
http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/category/announcements
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.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

SlayerTheDragon✭✭✭✭✭YesGet SSD
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 youI am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).

Smileybones✭✭✭✭YesSometimes it would be nice to be able to inform the rest of your group about the loading screen.1

Tommy1979AtWar✭✭✭✭NoCount 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.0

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.NewBlacksmurf wrote: »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.UESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995

✭✭Get SSD
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.Edited by IcyDeadPeople on May 23, 2016 2:50PM1
