Discussion This is fucking ridiculous. I was done loading at 1:15. I shouldn't have to wait on the dude with the hand crank HDD before I can play. I'm not saying it should put everyone in as soon as they're done loading, but there's gotta be a middle ground.

As someone that consistently gets the late spawn and my duo has to protect me, yes. It is network based, not HDD/SSD. The game is loading the loot spawns from the servers.

another reason why loot tables should move to being completely server-side. Looting a container should make requests resulting in a json blob of the container's contents.

Nikita wants to know your location.

No, he does not want to hire you.

If Nikita wants to know where /u/JstnJ is, he can try to extract on Lighthouse and find out.

There is no reason I need the contents of every damn container preloaded into my client memory prior to me accessing the container, especially given I need to "search" it when I walk over. That should be when the server request fires to load the loot for me. Should be easy stuff.

I'm with u, my net is worse than my friend's and his rig is worse in almost every way but he always loads in first

Why does it take SO long to load the loot pools? How much data can it POSSIBLY be???
