    The loading screens needs changed to indicate overall loading progress, eg:
    Code:
    Loading map, please wait...
    [==========		  ] 33%
    
    which then changes to
    Code:
    Loading plots, please wait...
    [===================	  ] 72%
    
    and then finally:
    Code:
    Loading players, please wait...
    [=======================  ] 98%
    
    Hopefully I've conveyed the idea successfully. The current version does not give me a true indication of when to expect to enter the game.

    My loading screen had various percentages that weren't just 33, 72, 98.

    No, you misunderstood. I'm asking for the addition of an overall progress bar.

    No offence but once the loading got to 98% I would assume it was about to log in anyway, I don't need to know that it is now loading characters at this point. So long as I can see the percentage number of 1% to 100% of loading time that is ok with me, and I don't feel it really needs to be any ore complicated than that.

    98% of what - the first stage? Loading scene...98%? Did you think you were getting in the game at that point? Nope, next up: loading plots! Waiting, waiting, waiting, 100%! Sweet, I'm getting into the game - NOT! Loading players....wait wait wait.....

    Again, I'm simply suggesting the addition of a OVERALL progress bar that includes ALL STAGES of progress. Is this so difficult to understand?

    As the system stands already showing 1% to 100% of loading is enough to tell us what is about to happen after 99% and I understand what you are asking for but it is pretty pointless telling someone what it is actually loading into the game when most people would know how the loading is going by watching said percentage climb, is all I am saying as well, is that too difficult to understand?
