From 1:10 to 1:58, 48 seconds to fly into the H.E.L.M: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/adragonwithin/video/164627659 you're experiencing long fly-in times to the Helm, then your console is having trouble loading the H.E.L.M. and/or receiving data from Bungie's servers, as there is no player syncing to do in the H.E.L.M. since you're alone (or with your fireteam) and not a ton of other players. If you're experiencing issues loading into the H.E.L.M., then you'll most likely experience even more issues when loading into the Tower. From 0:14 to 1:58, 1 minute 44 seconds to fly into the Tower: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/adragonwithin/video/164627654 . The majority of the flight time into the Tower isn't loading the Tower, it's syncing up with the other players in the Tower, so flight time is heavily reliant upon connections to those other players. If you have trouble syncing with one or more of the other players, your fly-in time will take longer. If it takes too long, the game will still load you into the Tower, but you'll see people with invisible bodies and/or weapons while your console works on syncing with them to determine what they're wearing, and then loading that from your hard drive. - I'm on an original Xbox One from 2014, not one of the later Xbox One Ss or Xs, and is still using the internal Microsoft-branded hard drive that came with it. It's a second-run Xbox One, the ones released that didn't include the Kinect; my Xbox One is old. I'm not experiencing the same issue you seem to be, which would imply it's not just due to you playing on the Xbox One. If you're experiencing unusually long loading times flying into locations, it may be the connection between yourself and the servers, or it may be the data storage you're using with your Xbox One. What troubleshooting have you done towards fixing or reducing the issue, since it seems to be more of an issue you're having instead of an issue Bungie is having?
