When travelling from Act1 to Frigid Highlands waypoint my high level Hardcore character was already dead by the time the area was loaded as the character was already present at the WP while still the loading screen visible.
This is a very serious issue expecially in HC as there are waypoints like Frigid Highlands where monsters, even specials may spawn close to the waypoint this way leaving the hero totally vulnerable while you are still looking at the loading screen wainting for loading!
How can it be that the character is already in the area without control when one is still waiting at the loading screen.
This bug is seriously dangerous especially for HC characters, and surely needs fixing.

Almost a whole month later and its still happening… what are they doing with their lives at blizzard?!
Please fix this. I got lucky, but my 89 HC hdin was almost killed at Frigid Highlands wp during the loading screen.
Happened to me today…

Don’t cross acts without going into town first. I’m a softcore nub and even I know this. Loading act5 is slow when coming from another act, if you go from kurast into frigid you’re up for a bad time.
This was fixed in the D2R Beta but it didn’t make it to launch for whatever reason, this should’ve been fixed months ago but it still hasn’t.
To avid it I usually travel to act 5 town 1st, which will reduce the loading time by half when travel to Frigid Highlands waypoint afterward.
