I'm wondering how people use the time while game loads between areas.
Usually it give player between 15 seconds and few minutes.
What I did during that time so far?
1. Made tea
2. Chatted with relatives
3. Setupped something in alt-tab
4. Browsed web
Now I'm going to do quests, and that mean a lot of transitions.
Going to try to watch some movie or anime, or play another game in between.
Or read book.
What do you do when it happens?

Re: What to do during area transitions
I rarely experience more then a few seconds between transitions.
Though on the rare occasions I try to read the text blurbs. Also giggle at how when I enter some areas the pictures and name are just hilarious pairing.

It's almost ~ a minute or more lately.
The temptation to walk away or do something else is definitely rising

• check my Clash of Clans base
• goof off on IRC
• harass my cats

• harass people in the CK Skype chat
I know how to keep myself entertained!

Will I find the light. Or be swallowed by Darkness. I sense hope. But foresee harm. Will I know the blade. Taste the blood. I see a figure. I see a shadow...I see myself

Re: What to do during area transitions
my favorite thing to do is walk away "real quick" to grab something to eat or something similar and come back to my PC in the fugue, because i didnt understand the importance of not doing that upon entering the giant hills with my level 17.
