This is new as of the end of downtime. I popped right in, when to continue City on the Edge of Never... wouldn't load. Bugged it, and started it fresh. I went to beam down to the planet... stuck on loading screen.

Restart Game
-- Stuck on retrieving character.

Think ya'll broke something ;-)

    Yup.. They broke it.

    I was able to get into the mission, but i was stuck as my ship for a full 2 minutes before i closed the game.
    Upon logging back in, i too was stuck at the retrieving characters screen.

    -sigh-
    Guessing someone tripped over the cable.. or didn't put enough LED lights on the server..

    Because we all know.. LED's make your computer faster!

    Same for me, Hromi cluster, Genesis system.

    No big deal, was just hoping to do more testing than the loading screen :P

    Same. Went from a ground mission to space and was my guy instead of ship, fell a small distance and didnt die. Ran around the area at warp 4.0 waiting to morph into my ship like normal after a minute or so and ended up stuck in a solar system light. Had to log out but it hung so I alt tabbed and ended the program. Now Im stuck on retrieving characters.....for about 30 minutes no or so.

    This is where I was as well. I managed to get through a couple of loading screens by not touching the keyboard and just letting it churn for 5 or ten minutes. But eventually, on my second mission in the cluster, I disconnected from server while zoning into an asteroid base, the mission map.

    I expect the occasional loading screen hang-up, but this has been consistent, since today's patch at 3:15pm, all loading screens are taking forever. The bar seems to get about 2/3 of the way across, stops, and then after a very long time I am suddenly in the map.

    I just want this thread to be replyed to by the tech staff, and I would like to be resolved, as I was doing the 'City on the Edge of never' myself and I was just same as most, stuck on a loading screen and got out of game after waiting a strenuous 10 minutes and now stuck attempting to load my characters, how anoying.
