QoL Change: Load-Screens

So we all are aware that when load-screens are long, we get a message that "This might be an unusually long load time." This would be fine, however, the majority of loading screens seem to be long enough to trigger the message. I am already used to long loading times in many, many, areas. This means that usually any time i enter a load-screen, i usually get up to go do something or put my controller down to look at work or something else on my computer. Since it seems SHORT load-screens are less common than LONG load-screens, there should instead be a message that pops up when your load-screen will end quickly that says "This may be an unusually short load time." This would allow me to have an alert that I will be in the game soon and that there is no need to put my controller down. Obviously not a big deal at all but it would improve my playing experience.

    They're being patched and "fixed" next week on PC/PS4 and the week after on XBox so don't think we will need the messages either way.

    Also I said "fixed" not in mocking quote but because it's a rollback to fix the issue before the final fix goes live at a later date.

    I am not talking about the current issue with the infinite load-screens @Turelus I am talking about the fact that even when I do not hit the bug of the infinite screen my load times are very long in many areas of the game. This has been happening since before CwC and is completely unrelated to the current issue in the pinned thread at the top.

    odd thing is I've never seen the "This might be an unusually long load time." but I've had more than I can count of long/infinite loading screens lol

    The issue pinned was made worse by CwC but from my understand has always been an issue which they have now figured out.
    So when the real fix goes live then it might clear up the old issues we saw before.

    I guess it's possible i could see my load times reduced by whatever fix they do but I'm skeptical. I really just want a fix to the infinite ones though. I am already planning on getting out to purchase a solid-state drive for my Xbox as many people says it will reduce my load-times drastically. So maybe that's what I need to solve my issue. But I would still like a notice when my load-screen will be short. Would be nice.

    PC, maybe it's a console thing, nice of them to warn you instead of actually fixing the problem but that's ZO$ :(

    believe it when it happens, seen too many "fixes" to believe a word anyone from ZO$ says
