Guild Wars 2

This issue has happened on and off since I started playing a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes when first entering a zone or entering a personal story quest, I’ll get insanely slow loading of assets. For example, I’ll take a waypoint somewhere. The game will go to it’s usual loading screen. I appear at the waypoint, but things are very slow to load. Things such as skill sounds, music, some graphics, etc. I can be walking around, hit something like my ranger’s number 5 skill while using axe/warhorn, the actual effect will happen immediately (which is gaining swiftness, might, etc), but the actual art, sound, etc. for the skill doesn’t happen for quite some time after using it (the wolf howling sound and graphic animation). Other things that are related are things like achievement graphics not showing up correctly or the UI itself loading very slow at times. This also happens sometimes when I first start the game. Nothing but a black screen for a minute or so, and then slowly the assets will load. All the graphics load slowly on the character select screen, and then finally the music. Doesn’t happen every time. 90% of the time, the game runs perfectly.
