Night Ward slow zone loads

When I'm in Night Ward on my iMac (2011), the game is extremely slow to zone into Night Ward, door missions from Night Ward, and into Ouroboros from Night Ward.

Other team members in NW have also complained of slow loads, but they seem particularly slow on my Mac. Going into or out of a door can take more than 60 seconds.

Is this a Mac issue? A NW issue? Is there some debugging code that accidentally was left on? I avoid going to NW now because of the slow load times. A quick search of the forum does not turn up similar topics. What's going on?

I think it's a Night Ward issue.

Been doing Night Ward missions with a team, PC and Mac users, and all complain about the huge load times.

Yeah i have only recently started running NW missions ( I waited for the initial rush to die down) . I noticed the slow load times( PC User) and some.. I will call it Latency in the zones. I figured it might just have been my machine since i get the same in Praetoria and The final mission of SSA1 ( when you fight Rallua-Wade)..While none of that helps you in the least maybe it will help to know you are not alone!

I've noticed this, too. I was running at the graphics setting just below the top, and I bumped down one notch. Got a lot better, but it's still slow.

I'll just chime in with "yep me too."

I'm a PC user (win. 7 64 bit) and have no issues with other zones but NW is a slow loader :|

I'll try turning down my graphics to 'performance' to see if it makes any difference. Once I load everything is fine though. So who knows? Maybe extra, unnecessary objects are being loaded?

Thanks for the tip.

Yah, not having too big of a problem but it does seem to load a bit slower than any other zone atm.

Most of my latency issues seem to be around the midnighter mansion, the rest of the area gives me no more problem than First Ward usually does (which is minimal).
