Just an FYI if your chars are loading into game slow

If your chars are loading into the game slow, try this: Disable ALL news filters in your guild tab. This took me down from a loading screen which lasted 1min and 10 seconds, to 25 seconds.

Might work for you, might not.

Good tip.
But 25 seconds to load in is still incredibly long. You may want to keep exploring stuff. I believe WA’s can make load times a lot higher if you have that addon.

Or if you’re on an old HDD then you’re just out of luck.

Yes main loading screens. I have an SSD.

25 seconds feels like lightning compared to what it was lol. I’ve tested thoroughly turning each addon on and off (including WA) and they didn’t affect my loading screen at all. I only use WA for like 2 or 3 very small things, nothing major.

Other than that I have an SSD.

Not sure what else I can play with to help it get any better. Tried just about everything today. deleted cache folder. cleaned up wtf folder. did a repair/scan, etc…

One thing I haven’t tested was cleaning up my macros and organizing them. I have a ton of macros I use for my main, and I was wondering if that possibly could slow down loading process as well.

I have an older computer that needs an upgraded gpu so I don’t mind waiting.
I’ll finish filling the vault tonight, when lag decides to lighten up for the evening.
If we still have power, that is.

We’ve been getting some really incredible storms here that moved in yesterday afternoon.
Turned the sky black at about 3pm and now it’s happening again today.
The thunder is impressive, especially when it’s right over your roof.
