Diablo 3: Say Goodbye to Loading Screens

Posted 30th Jun 2009 04:16 PM by lyquid

In response to a fan question about how many loading screens we can expect and what they will look like, Bashiok tossed out the entire concept of loading screens.  This is certainly a welcomed change; I wonder how transitions to and from dungeons will be handled?

Blizzard Quote:
There aren’t any loading screens. Personally I think it’s amazing and I don’t understand the magic the programmers have worked, but the game is instant or near instant. The same is true for initial game load. Start up the game, create a character, click a button and the game world shows up. No waiting and no real discernible pause. Mileage may vary slightly of course, but it would (from what I’ve seen) be in the realm of a second or two second pause at most.
