Loading screens are SO MUCH SHORTER

This one finds it hard to believe that there was a minimum time of 10 seconds on loading screens, because the removal of this in today's patch has -dramatically- decreased the time it takes to teleport around. Wayshrining in the same zone is now 1 second, loading a delve takes 5 seconds, etc.

Anyone else seeing these improvements?

    Loading screen time was always limited by the server, so people with good SSDs are going to see massive improvements.

    Still extremely slow if you compare it to other mmos/games.

    NA server I’m guessing.

    EU server still has to ping the US to get log in stuff when zoning.

    Nope. Still very long and still have to log out of the game to switch characters pretty often

    The change is only for some loading screens. The ones that took less than 10 seconds were being forced to wait 10 seconds to load. wayshrines and going in and out of delves is the most noticeable change for me.

    Any loading screens that take longer than that (as in log-in to character selection or log out back to character selection for example) will be unaffected by today's change.

    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    Still extremely slow if you compare it to other mmos/games.
    Does not compare, WOW has ton of servers around and the game run on one server for you. ESO uses lots of servers in an world so if you port to another zone you likely to move to another server.
    Still this is an server issue, moving ESO to an m2 ssd does not decrease load times noticeable.

    Tested now doing some surveys and yes significantly shorter.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Huh, I was just about to post about loading screens taking noticeably longer today. I also started getting random loading screens while moving around. PC EU.
