Random Loading Screen - Character Rewinds

My wife and I are having the exact same problem lately (post 1.1.2 patch). We'll be playing in a group and then we will both get a loading screen out of nowhere, and then our characters are thrown back to where we were from 5 - 10 minutes prior. I have searched google and the forums and haven't found anything about this. Am I using the wrong search terms, is this a known issue, is the server resetting, or am I just unlucky?

    Its a rollback, been getting them myself throughout the day in Veteran areas. Switched to my alt lvl38 in Eastmarch and none as yet

    Give it time, it'll slap you in Eastmarch too. It was happening there last night and as recently as this morning. I haven't bothered logging in to get hit by it again, and likely won't until I know it was fixed. It's incredibly discouraging.

    Thanks for the answer. I figured that's what it was from my experience from other MMO's, but it's been frequent and no one seems to be talking about it. Any word on the causes from devs?

    We've been in The Rift mostly, but she's seen it on her Alt in Stonehaven

    Unfortunately there's been near-silence from the devs on this. On the thread titled Rollbacks there was a mod response early on, but all they did was ask what zone the OP was experiencing them in. No word on a cause or ETA on a fix.

    I find it hard to play with a constant reload sceen happening ever 10 steps in one town (eg. Bangkorai) Go into a door - loading screen. why is the game doing this?

    Random zone loading screens simply entering a door (and not caused by entering an instance such as a quest dungeon door) according to ZOS is due to server load.
