Guild Wars 2

I thought it was just me, but there’s been something odd happening with map loading times, for what I can remember, for about a week. About the same time as the loadscreen stuck bug appeared. Also the model viewer is slower than before as well, I used to get both open near instantly.

1) Generally loading times have been getting longer
2) Models load up extremely slow when opening character panel / preview panel

Now I used to have about 5 sec normal map load times, about 10 seconds for Mists or Cities. The loadtimes have effectively at least doubled.

I’ve been asking around and all of my guildies also said they noticed longer load times.

I have the game installed on a few month old SSD and also have Junctioned my “My Documents” to the SSD so there should be no reads from slower drives to cause this.

I concur. Load times have definitely increased since the patch. I’m not sure what is going on at ANet but the most recent patches seem to have been making the game worse rather than better.

For every minor bug they fix, they seem to add another major one.

The general progress is good, but I think they should do a bit more testing before rolling out fixes.

I noticed this as well, and thought it was just me. I also have GW2 installed to my SSD, but suddenly my load times are comparable to beta, when I had it installed to my RAID of older mechanical drives.

The load time has greatly increased.Its becoming really annoying to wait 30-40 seconds to load.I wonder whats going on with this. blah

Same here, going on 2 minutes-plus load times as of recently. I’m playing on a Dell XPS gaming desktop with 72rpm hard drive so that’s not the problem. I enjoy the game but waiting that long every time I change from one location to another is not something I have the patience for.

Having the same issues hopefully this patch will fix it for me. I will update and edit this once I have more info (seriously connection errors gotta love em :|)

EDIT: Load times are still longer then when I first started
