You might want to try the following. When my wife told me about it I'm sure I was looking at her like she had 2 heads, but it works 98% of the time.
When your load screen hangs at the spot it always hangs at, note the time on your computer clock. When exactly 4 minutes has elapsed (not 3, not 5... 4) refresh. The game loads within 4 minutes after that in most cases. Once in a while it still takes longer, but I just refresh after another 4 minutes if it's necessary.
I hope this works for you and offers some relief. I feel bad for complaining about 15 minutes, especially when it's normally around 7 or 8 since I started using this trick.

please kill the love garden quest line when you no longer have a love garden.
please fix observatory for quartermasters
please fix the guild quest menu hidden bug
please fix loading times issues for all users not only Windows ones
re new imp lettersmith... ...nice? but would rather see existing problems addressed first, and my single existing lettersmith is underworked. cant see the need for imp one
fixing existing issues should take priority over developing new stuff
Improved lettersmith is interesting. Don't really need it. Wouldn't pay gems for it. I agree about maybe finesmiths (or simple paper), since I have 7 of them, as opposed to 1 lettersmith.
Premium friend buff sounds good until you get to the part about how long it lasts.
From Test:
Friend Only
All single production buff effects are doubled
50% bonus XP from adventures (stacks with premium)
50% faster production at barracks/elite barracks
Weapon production speed is boosted by 50%
All specialist tasks are boosted by 20%
Duration is 30 hours
3,000 gems
Agree with fellow posters, please fix existing features (e.g., observatory) before adding new ones.
Improved Lettersmith NOT needed, Improved Finesmith definitely needed.
I only use one regular lettersmith compared to five finesmiths.
BB missed the bus on this one.
On a positive not, adding tokens to weekly sub-quests is a good thing.
Get out of my head. At least you think they missed the bus, I'm debating if they take the short bus unironicallyImproved Lettersmith NOT needed, Improved Finesmith definitely needed.
