Loading Screens have gone right back to being Abysmal

As title says, Loading Screens are awful again. One thing Harrowstorm really did fix, for me at least, was loading screens. I was popping right in whenever i used a Wayshrine, especially within a zone, but also from zone to zone.

Well, that's over. It's back to taking several minutes to go from zone to zone and about a minute within a zone.

For me, at least. And my computer is brand new.

    Had like 9 treasure maps and i decided to go get them to clear my inventory...took me like an hour because loading screens take around 5 mins. Stuck in one right now as i type.

    Going into a delve takes a couple of minutes, as well.

    Tried to test some new builds, infinite load screens leading to crashes in bgs

    Well, just think what you have to look forward to. I hope you like paintings of Tamriel locales. A lot.

    Yep, I can conform this -- on a nearly-new iMac. Loading screens have not been this bad in YEARS.

    I'm trying to get one of my characters back into my house and I can't tell if the loading screen is insanely long or if it's going to be infinite. It's been going for around 5 minutes already.

    Logging out or listing anything on a Guild Trader are also taking a really long time.

    I wish mine were that short. I spend around what I figure is a pack of cigarettes in the load screen, then the game times out and I get to look at the login screen.

    I had this too, PC NA. It's so bad I'm going to have to time it just to be sure because I can't estimate it accurately when it's so long (as in 10 or 15 minutes long). All my characters are based in Glenumbra and it's utterly unfeasible to wait ten minute or more every single time I go there or try to leave the Outlaw's Refuge or whatever.

    Load screens load screens load screens. Can't even get out of Banghori to move to Reaper Marsh via WS. In a constant load screen. Tried 5 times now. After 3 minutes each time did an Alt F4 to get out of the game. Then when trying to re log in states already logged in and have to wait several minutes to even get back into the game and another load screen. Pathetic

    God help you if you accidentally Zone to the wrong location like I just did.

    Well, I abandoned my idea of going to my guild hall...

    Today, so far... Vivec to Mournhold was 194 seconds, then 2 or 3 failed attempts to get to Grand Linchal Manor, and finally Mournhold to The Rift took 284 seconds.

    Since "Performance Patch." Stuffs been wonky for me. Wish they could fix issues but I think these issues are going be part game forever since day one these issues have been present.

    Loading screen forever. It spread from Dragonclaw (the Loading screen fort).
    I'm not native speaker in English. I hope that I don't make you misunderstand.

    I bought a new SSD Drive and ESO is the only Game on it. Once the I get through the loading screen it works like it should.

    Same here. Went from 13-15 second loading screens when switching zones to 3-5 minute after Greymoor. Hope they get it sorted.

    Remember when you had to restart the game every 3rd zoning or so?
