Is it just me, or are loading times into new territories getting longer? My laptop has not changed since I installed Guild Wars, so it’s not like I filled my hard drive. Loading times just consistently seem to be getting longer.

I noticed that yesterday when I loaded up the game. It took a while longer than usual. Today after a patch is seems back to quick loads.

Yep…they are. It happened to me also in another MMO while i was progressing with my chars, and leveling up. But when I was using another acc with low level chars, it was going smooth (same client). So maybe it’s about complexity of your characters and their’s data…dunno…

Loading Screen Wars! So many portals and separate zones in this game. I’m watching over 30 loading screens each day and they’re really boring me to death. However I haven’t noticed them to get longer, they’re already very very long and have always been.
Some locations however were always taking much longer to load than others, Lions Arch is the sad winner there (I no longer use free travel to LA as a way to cut my maptravel costs, I’d rather spend 4s).
BTW, I’m strongly considering buying an SSD for GW2, does anyone have experience with that? If it cuts the waiting by half I’d consider it worth it.

Ok. They are continually getting longer. In GW1, we always had that bar at the bottom to see what’s happening. We knew if it was downloading files and we knew what % complete it was. Now I just have a gold ring circling over and over and over again. However, it is definitely getting longer. It’s the same computer with the same processing power week after week, and yet my loading screens are turning into 60+ seconds.

Now try getting on the game in Queensdale (load 1), travel to Divinity’s Reach (load 2), asura gate to LA (load 3), asura gate to Black Citadel (load 4), and meet friend in Plains of Ashford (load 5), and potentially exiting overflow server (load 6). Waypoint costs are motivation to use asura gates, but it’s now taking me over 3-4 minutes just because of loading screens. This was not the case weeks ago when the game came out.

It would be nice to at least know why this is happening, and it’d be great if these loading times will decrease in the future.

Yesterday there seemed to be some very long load-times, plus I got disconnected a few times.

But today it’s been fine.

Only one that seems to get longer is Lions Arch, which I understand with all the people going there. No problems with any other places.

Hell compared to SWTOR, these loading times are 100x faster!! Heh
SWTOR’s loading times are really BAD!

All loading screens are longer for me and I can’t remember when exactly it changed, but it was a significant change, nothing like the first couple of weeks of play.
