The map load time issue has to be addressed

The fact that opening the map every time you want to use a waypoint or check a quest or switching act tabs causes a tremendous amount of loading time is easily PoE2's most infuriating aspect.

It's amazing how this one little simple quirk can really bring down the user experience a ton. I grimace ever time I have to do a trade or use a waypoint.

I don't care what you have to keep pre-loaded in the background or optimize to make the world map screen more responsive but please consider it a major, major priority.

The map being consistently as slow and unresponsive as it is really drags the game down unnecessarily, and the game itself is too good to be burdened by something so silly.

The time to change between places also is quite long. I find it funny that you can already start walking even if you don't see anything apart from the players and NPCs name tags.

Nothing better that loading to get to join a team, by the time I finish loading the map is mostly done.... Just to long load back to town to find out the next map is up and running, into the portal I go to long load agian... Its pointless playing with it like this!
