Guild Wars 2

This may be in the wrong place but it’s really getting beyond for me and I have seen 0 posts anywhere, reddit or here.

Lions Arch new map load times are literally 10x longer than any other map in game regardless of graphical settings. It’s really horrible. Everyone in game speaks about it but no one seems to complain. It’s the only map in the game where if I am standing beside a WP and use it, it will reload again! It’s really, really, really bad. Is there any reason for this? I worry that it is just lazy map making kitten many old assets are there but I hope not

tl:dr – new lions arch has bad load times

Wow – Censoring here is more OP than DF/Icebow 4.

Yea load times in LA are pretty bad, even on an SSD.

The first load into LA upon starting the game will take +17 seconds, every load into LA after takes <15s. Loading pretty much any other map takes <6 seconds.

The biggest factor I can see in load times is the number of players in the immediate load area. Loading into Sparkfly takes no time…unless Tequatl is going on and you load to Caer Brier Waypoint.
