    I think Gina said in the main thread that the craft bags were done during down time.

    So far it has been about 30 minutes for me and still at load screen. Will update when it's done.

    Are you logging into PC-NA or PC-EU?

    PC NA.

    For reference I have 6 characters all with fairly full inventories. Also have a very full craft bag inventory.

    I removed in to my home PC from work to kick it off.

    FYI on a potential bug. Tried doing a race change before first load and could not see my character. Quit the change, went ahead and loaded in. Took me about 5 minutes because I am pretty OCD on cleaning out my inventory regularly, although my bank is usually near full. Logged out and did my race change. Logged back in as instant as ever.

    Very quick.

    Still getting regular Cyrodil CTD though and right now very few are there.

    I thought it might be due to the high winds we're getting the past 2 days but I can log into GTA 5 ok.

    And here I was, late last night, screenshotting all my cool stuff and giving my inventory a thorough cleansing. I have as much inventory space as you can possibly have in this game, and it's about 70% full, so admittedly, I was a little worried. Haha

    Of course, I probably wont be home until about 7 est. Guessing this will go a little different at primetime...

    Same here. I belong more or less to this category and it took 3 minutes. Longer than usual, but very bareable.

    Perhaps Zos should issue dire warnings before every patch, because this was the fastest and smoothest update I've experienced.

    A bit slower than usual, just logged in, think I'm closer to peak.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    First account - EU server normal load time (which is about a minute or a little over), then NA server much quicker than usual.

    Second account - EU server slightly quicker than usual. No characters on NA server.

    All running normally, so now patching the game on my other machine which is a bit inferior and only used if the main machine is being used for something else. I haven't seen any comment on whether this process only has to be done once per account or whether it will need doing again on a second machine. Either way, thus far it's looking like the dire warning was outsourced by ZOS to the UK's Project Fear team :wink: !

    I didn't time it, but it seemed to take under a minute on both NA and EU megaservers, for both of my 2 accounts. I was particularly relieved about NA, where I had lots of characters and very full inventories and banks.

    Well, I'll check that time when I get to it. Hit the go button as soon as maint ended. Although I have a 3MB/s line my usual download speed from steam is 200KB/s soooo if it's 720 MB per hour... I've got 3 more hours to download my patch :D

    Both EU (6ch, ESO+, everything almost fully loaded) and NA (1ch, 80% on bank and inventory) loaded like normal. No extra time on login screens.

    Could still suck for some people.

    When people ask me for time estimates for database intensive work with really large data sets, my guesses are soooo random. Really don't know until I try.

    "Approximate wait time: 30 seconds"

    Going on 15 min in queue to log in.

    Not complaining at all - we were warned. Just adding to the discussion. I had 3 other (less complex) accounts jump right in.

    EDIT - at 27 minutes, Error 108 - login failed. Lol... ok. Will start again and go on with my day.

    2nd Edit - tried again. Popped right in. Works for me. Good luck folks.

    It wouldn't have any effect on those people any more than someone with one item. Plus, craft itemization was done during downtime.

    Took me 20 seconds to log in and I'm a massive hoarder, lol. It actually took less time than it normally does!

    Remember the load times aren't tied directly to your account/items, it's the total number. So if you have 5 items but someone that's still trying to log in has 40,000, you'll still need to wait a bit.

    My sacs are bulging with mats, gear, money, furniture etc. but my wait was normal. In fact, it was better than it has been since the patch a few weeks back that killed PC-EU.

    Not quite that many but 1000's of pretty much every mat plus most houses and so on and I think it took me about 2 minutes to load my character give or take.

    That was funny Dave, but not in the way you think. I gave you an awesome. Our customs is so bad in this country, parcels can take 2 to 3 months to get to us. Amazon refuses to ship to us because too many parcels get stolen and don't make it through customs :D
