Duty Finder needs to be adjusted NOT to happen while loading

[Darko]

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.

[Mister-Wonderful]

It is the PC itself that is dated or slow. My load times are somewhat high, nothing major, but higher than average due to having a dated pc.

Your processor affects the speed at which you load a new zone. It takes less than 10 seconds for me, often less than 5, with an i7.

Either way, yeah, it would be nice for them to add that, but then it becomes unfair for the other people waiting on you to load a new zone on your slow computer.

[Dale]

Internet speeds affect how quickly you load too I think.

My processor is a AMD Athlon (tm) II x2 250 Processor 3.00 GHZ. Not the greatest ever. But it's not that bad.

Some areas load rather quickly. But the more crowded zones load very slow. Mordanna in particular. This zone takes me forever sometimes.

[MeeDeggiThePunisher]

For me on PS3 it can take a while to load using teleport, and yeah I've missed out on the duty finder because of it. Zoning on foot isn't that bad though.

[Tupsi]

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.

Takes me 2-3 seconds with the exception of Mor Dohna. PS3 doesn't take nearly a minute to load a zone.

There is a work-around for this. If you're using KB/Mouse, while the screen is still loading and you can see your chat log, press "0" on your keypad. You'll see a little arrow appear on the screen for seemingly no reason. Press it again and you will have bypassed the UI and accepted entering the instance. I know they need to fix it, but this is an easy work-around until the do. If you have a controller, you can do the same thing by pressing the button you normally use to click on something (as in, interact with things such as the summoning bell) and pressing the button twice. Once again, you should see the arrow appear after the first press and the second one will be you entering the instance.

[Alhanelem]

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.

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.

this (kind of) happens to me alot. something about changing zone the DF loves. and while its in the background it seems to slow down the load screen. one 'trick' that works for me is hitting cancel to exit the DF pop-up and my new zone opens in normal time. even before i started doing this i never sat through a 45+ sec load screen

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.
