    @Lained , I don't think the problem is what you think it is. The delay happens when you do the Oracle's test at the start of your session, correct? The delay you're seeing is one that always happens not because of a conversation issue, but because a delay often happens the first time you get a loot reward in a game session.

    Try this test next time you log in: Instead of taking the Oracle's test right away, go kill any enemy and loot it... it could even be just a rabbit. You'll probably see the loot-collection delay. Then go take the Oracle's test and you'll find there's not delay in the conversation.

    Unfortunately, there's no fix at this time for the first-loot-in-a-session delay.

    So initially I thought it might be deco still loading after logging in but tested that by waiting a while and still saw the same results.

    I don't adventure much sound your idea sounded plausible but I just gave that a test too by taking down and looting a zombie and as you can see still the same.

    @Lained I've had this happen before also, and it was fixed -- here's the link

    @Sannio perhaps similar to issue 66083 from the link above?

    @Echondas I can recall a fix as mentioned in the first post but it resumed not long after. I keep meaning to test in NPC town, will do that tonight at reset.

    @Sannio & @Echondas I just tested in Central Brittany and it worked perfectly with no delays.

    FYI - @Lained with the help of my guildmate Zadien, I tested this on your exact POT - but unfortunately the Oracle responded immediately.

    I'm still seeing this. At least in BloodMark.

    1) Login
    2) Teleport to BloodMark
    3) Run to the Oracle and take the test

    I have to answer the test at least twice. Even waiting several seconds between answers.

    Sannio has already stated they they have figure out that it has nothing to do with the conversation itself and that there is no known fix for now.

    Since it's a known issue, we can probably stop trying to figure out exactly how to reproduce it.

    @Anpu mentioned in Discord that this might be caused by conversation close-ups being disabled so I turned on the setting and The Oracles response was instant.



    Another test.



    Disabled the conversation close-ups again and returns to a slow response.

    This is great information! Thanks for sharing your tests. I'm adding a tip related to this in the Known Issues doc (www.shroudoftheavatar.com/knownissues). This specific type of delay is new to me, so I'm adding it as a new issue, #69421.
