Problem with the new deep dungeon (Eureka Orthos)

[ElysiumDragon]

So I did some rough time measurements using a typical mount and flight.

With Palace of the Dead, it wasn't even worth mounting up, as you'd get there in 2 seconds max from the aetheryte.

With Heaven on High, it was roughly 5 seconds from the aetheryte to the NPC.

With Eureka Orthos, it was 52 seconds from the Mor Dhona aetheryte to where the NPC would be stood, and that includes the loading screen for the Crystal Gate on an SSD. Not to mention that if the area's instanced, that's going to cause serious problems on launch, as many of us know all too well.

Nobody knows where it's going to start, so it's pointless to worry about it.

We actually do know where its going to start. It was shown in the live letter, and the location is even listed on the wiki.

I'm not seeing it. I know they mentioned the NPC that would be involved. I'm not taking the wiki's word for anything regarding where it actually starts and how we access it until 6.35.

It's not instanced, you just can't go through the door before the questline takes you there.
