ALL map loads screwed up now, not just ESD/DS9

Just finishing some storyline missions on my lowest alternate character I am experiencing what the latest patch gave us:
MASSIVE load times on EVERY ground map. Even INSIDE the same mission. Took several minutes for about half of them. Even those that didn't take so long took longer than they used to. I have a pretty nice computer and before S6 screwed up ESD and DS9 so horribly, no map, no matter which one, took more than 10 seconds to load, ever.
Now I'm trying to do Of Bajor and every time I load the holodeck, come back to bajor, load holodeck second time, beam back to bajor again, it is taking FOREVER.
FOR EVER.
Let's put it this way, I'm trying to leave the holodeck to report in and it's been "loading bajor: hathon" for 10 minutes straight now.
Seriously, STOP RELEASING "SEASONS" OF TRIBBLE IF YOU CAN'T FIX THE GAME BREAKING BUGS YOU INTRODUCED LAST PATCH!
Devote your time to NOTHING but fixing bugs and this game would be worth subscribing to, believe it or not. Instead, we get something so broken it hangs every time you change the map. And it's not only ground. Entering sector space when it's part of a mission is taking much longer, too.
EDIT: P.S. In all the time I typed this up it hasn't moved from 95.86% progress. It's still frozen on load, but animating the idiotic help tips at the bottom.

I'm going to keep doing this in real time so you know HOW FUBARED UP your own load screens are. You say there's no problem and you can't replicate it, well BS.
Check the time stamps on these forum posts for proof.
This isn't a connection problem. This is a fully connected, no-red-letters, contact with the server is held constantly, but the server refuses to load the map.
Repeat: this is NOT a connection problem/freeze. This is the game being so fubar it can't run its own subroutines to load a map.
FIX YOUR TRIBBLE CRYPTIC. You &#@! the bed and you should be forced to lay in it. Oh, wait... you don't PLAY this game. That's right.
Well, at this rate nobody else will, either.

False. The on-demand patching has already patched, yet the game hangs indefinitely. Seen it on Drozana recently when testing a Foundry mission with another player - missed an entire portion of the mission, AND had to restart the game.
It's just broken.:mad:
That is something I can confirm. Or the girlfriend torrents :-P
Loading of the maps is normally fast for me. Only exception is the B'Tran Cluster for vice-admirals. This one is alwasys a bit slow.
This is 100% bad game code. This is the subroutine that loads th map failing entirely, repeatedly, and CONSISTENTLY. This is upon the heads of the devs.
So don't pull that BS where you blame me for the game's faults.
It is not a PC issue. It is NOT a technical issue. It is a game BUG issue. Putting it in this subforum hides the true problem from public view and places the blame (falsely) on the user, rather than where it belongs (on the devs).

In short, your reply in the general feedback forum (which you locked) is the epitome of the problem. The ticket system doesn't work. The forum mods don't work (properly). Your answer is to blame it on me, my system. It's an epidemic problem that half the player base experiences regularly. The official line? Nothing wrong, you're lying, it's all in your head, etc.
So forgive me for not submitting a ticket to the folks that habitually ignore all tickets.
And no, your possible solution is a biased blame shifting answer. It doesn't help. My hardware and driver setup hasn't changed since season 6. I know that when I get a 1 GB patch overnight and suddenly load times take half an hour REGULARLY, it wasn't that my system magically changed overnight.
No, I'm going to blame the devs who are so uncoordinated they can't even track who's working on what, and can't even put out a changelog because they say it's too much to track. The same devs that deny bugs exist because they didn't intentionally change anything in one specific area, but somehow hosed something somewhere that feeds into that specific area, thus causing unexpected results.
History shows so far that you have to throw it at them in the public forum and get people to chime in, in order to get ANYTHING fixed in this game. Your hiding the threads (intended to bring public attention to the problems) does a disservice to this game.
Just because they patch and suddenly zones start to hang and load properly doesn't mean the issue is our systems. Patches that we download and install to the game doesn't change our system hardware, specs or settings. I'd like to see that patch that could change our hardware for us just by downloading it.
But yesterday, I spent a grand total of about 25 minutes of the hour looking at loading screens for just ESD and Sol. That's just ridiculous. I even lost my last two payouts because loading Gamma Orionus took several times longer than it should have - longer than even when I have my settings on High. Spending almost half of my time at loading screens isn't my idea of a fun race.
Have also started have serious lag. Something has happened to the server imo and it is not just server load.
