Ever since the update on Wed, I have extremely long load times going into areas. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am on a character that is opening up new areas.

Longer loading time always happen when you are going through to an area where you char hasn't been before.

actually ive noticed it as well. ill go to say amnoon oasis and be fine, quick load without dl'ing anything. ill see someone wanting to by bleached shells, so i think 'hey, i have those on my mule.' i log off and back on my mule, put the bleached shells in storage. get back on my other character and now i have to dl something to get back into amnoon? sure it doesnt take long but its rather annoying

There are definite longer load times after the update.
Places I've been to before, but now have reload are taking 3 or 4 times longer to load than they did the first time.
Frustrating.

Cant say I've come across any noticeable differences.

With such a large update, and many mobs and bosses having some changes, every new item will have to be downloaded and decompressed when you enter a new instance.

Same here...

Its not like the game is downloading / decompressing anything, after the counter gets to 100% it just takes LONGER to load the city.

Also, after the update i am getting major lag spikes in some places...the screen actualy freezes for a moment or two.

The main problem IS, that even on the lowest of the lowest graphical settings the game still does that! OOO yes, and before the patch I played 1280x1024 all HIGH +4x AA whith frames locked at 25 - 45 and loading times of 5 - 10 seconds on the WORST possible loadings...

DEFFINETELY there is something wrong whith Guid Wars...i dunno how, but they seem to have a pretty nice habit to add new bugs (that werent there before) to new patches ^^

Latter.
