Duty Finder needs to be adjusted NOT to happen while loading

[Alhanelem]

I'm on a PC, not a PS3. And I can tell you from personal experience it takes that long to load into new areas on this game. Especially if they are crowded. It probably depends on your internet speed.

If you're on a PC and it's taking that long, there is something seriously wrong with either your PC or your connection. The only time it ever takes more than 5-10 seconds for me to move to a new area is when Odin or Behemoth popped in the area I'm moving to, and that's because half the server is doing the same thing.

Nope. There is nothing "seriously" wrong with either. This game just loads extremely slow sometimes when the areas are crowded. It depends on your internet speed. My PC and connection are fine.

You probably don't notice because your internet speed is faster than mine.

Not really, I have rather slow DSL and I load within seconds.

same for me. really (!) slow dsl but loading times around 5secs. even when zoning to overcrowded places.

Can you define "rather slow" DSL?

Because I know people who play on very similar systems as me but have a lot faster internet and it seems to make a huge difference on the loading times.

Like I said, something is wrong with your conneciton. You don't need especially fast internet to play any online game. Just a few megabits is enough for any game I know of in existence.

You have an issue that needs addressing if any area takes so long that the duty finder can pop up and go away by the time you actually see anything.

I've checked my connection Alhanelem. I am getting my maximum internet speed and it's more than a few megabits. My PC is pretty old though, so that may be part of it. Though I've upgraded a lot of its hardware like the processor and video card and it was over the requirements to play the game. But it can still take over 45 seconds for me to teleport into Mor Dhana.

Post a speedtest.net results image here please.

Post a speedtest.net results image here please.

I just did a speed test for your Alhanelem. I got 7.49 Mbps. Which is what I pay for. So I don't think it's my connection.

I'm not going to post an image because I would have to get a URL for it. And it wouldn't really prove anything anyway because if you were to think I'm a liar nothing is stopping me from posting a fake picture as well. So you are just going to have to take my word for it.

The website provides the URL to you. Did you not see the giant "share" button on the results screen? Why are you so squeemish about doing that? Regardless, that kind of speed is more than plenty for this game. Still, I've never taken 45 seconds to load any area in this game, even an area where Odin or Behemoth is up. So yes, I'd say you do have a problem somewhere. Maybe you need to defrag your hard drive, maybe your PC is near minimum specs, I don't know but what you describe isn't normal, and changing the way the duty finder pops to address an issue that isn't in any way related to it doesn't make sense.

Beyond that, it doesn't even really matter if it pops or not. You still have 45 seconds from the time the match is found to join. The Duty finder servers don't know if you're in an area transition or not. They could increase it to 60 seconds, but nobody should have to wait longer than that especially when they've already been waiting for 15-20 minutes.

I can't say it's necessarily the cause but its time to update your CPU. You can even get a drastically better one that uses the same socket, it would be an easy upgrade.

You are missing my point. The duty finder invite happens right as the loading screen begins.

Dude, you want them to change the system over a godsbedanged coincidence. Get over it, it's not a big deal. The Duty Finder did not find a group just because a loading screen just began.

Either way though, it is beside my point. It meets the requirements to play this game.

Barely. "Meets the requirements" does not mean "will give off good performance."
