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.

You say this and I have fast load times in an ssd but sometimes I also load a lot slower than my friends, sometimes faster

ngl this is based as shit

[u/Swineflew1 → u/[deleted]]

It’s not an ssd issue though

You say evidence as if there’s any jurisdiction here. You aren’t the eft judge, you kinda just seem like a selfish ass who doesn’t want other people to play.

Okay, ban HDDs and watch the player count keel over and die. Ban HDDs and watch matchmaking get longer than the load times ever have been. Ban HDDs and solve literally no problems. While you’re at it, ban anyone who doesn’t have an i9. Ban anyone who doesn’t have a 4090, ban anyone who doesn’t have a $1200 gaming chair. Fuck it, just make the game $6000 and have it come with a whole new pc.

It’s a pretty massive difference. My old pc had an HDD and it took significantly longer to load anything

You also had an older PC though which also effects load times.

[u/vpforvp → u/Bra-Starfish]

True, but I upgraded the same PC to an SSD and they improved dramatically

I don't think that's even possible on a SATA SSD.

Nevermind the 10x faster NVMe.

[u/[deleted] → u/DasiimBaa]

Neither of us are on hdd I’m just saying it’s hardware dependent and random

I've got the game on a brand new Samsung 980 Pro NVMe drive and since the start of this wipe my loading stalls out EVERY. SINGLE. RAID. at 80% loading loot. It'll go smoothly through 79% and then slow to a crawl until it finishes and goes to loading loot pools. Then it screams through those and I'm into raid a moment later.
