Guild Wars 2

I hop online to catch an event like the great jungle wurm and completely miss it due to loading times. I can understand it taking longer with all the players, but 5-7 minutes seems a bit much. I have stupid fast internet and a very nice gaming pc. Any suggestions?

Loading time is a function of your disk speed and the amount of resources to display. You can use a solid state to improve the first and tune down your graphical effects for the second.

Sometimes, the sheer size of the GW2.dat file means it gets fragmented beyond the ability of windows to handle. Try repairing it (see the wiki’s article on “command line” arguments) or using a defrag tool that allows you to choose just the one file.
