Loading Times

I tried to post this in the I16 bugs section but couldn't. Ever since the last issue cam out I've been getting intermitent load times, sometime I'll zone in 1 second, and sometimes it take quite literally 10 minutes, so what the blue heck is goin on?

::edit::

Closed Fire fox and logged out for a while, then played an alt with no problem. So I got hopeful and logged back with the toon that had all the issues and no problem yet. Gonna leave FF open and see if it starts again.


The more people I meet, the more I'm beginning to root for the zombies.

The Global servers are seriously messed up. Every time they are down it seems to be causing missions not to load either.

I don't remember this behavior when Globals were offline before... and it seems kinda silly for them to be linked together.

Haven't seen it personally, but that doesn't rule out it being server specific, or ISP specific - I'd take a peek up in tech issues/bugs to see if anyone else has mentioned it.

10 minutes seems excessive though. Especially with it being rather *random* sounding as you make it.

It's not ISP.. It's definitely server-side. Everybody on the team is affected by it at the same time and finally zones into the mission at the same moment as well.

By the way.. 10 minutes is not an exaggeration. I just finished an ITF (on Freedom) where the last mission took about 13 minutes to load. Some people get impatient and restart their client, but it doesn't get you in the mission any faster. It eventually gives you the "green light" and everybody loads at once.
