extreme loading times after patch

[Ravilan]

everything was fine before the latest patch, but now loading to areas takes a few mins, when i do finally load somewhere the npcs take another few mins to appear. Since i'm a new player i'm still doing alot of quests, which require me to move around alot and the loading screens just take up way too much time.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm having the same exact issue after the maintenance last night. It takes about 3-5 minutes to log in, and another 3-5 minutes to change zones. It also takes about two minutes to load the appearance of my character at the launch screen as well. It's really noticeable because before the maintenance it was almost a seamless transition from launch to exiting the game, very little load time and transitions were instantaneous.

Confirmed on my side too. I thought it was just Hyperion.. but yea, load times are longer now.
