I would be ok with watching 1 min of a movie every time I zoned.
I loved what EVE Online eventually introduced when you took a gate from one star system to another. It was so much more interesting than staring at a black loading screen. What was very unique about the visualization is that it would continue until you actually loaded into the next system so if the jump time took 5 second or more than a minute you'd just see a continuing warp tunnel.

I agree. Fortunately, Pantheon seems to have already adopted that as well. I wouldn't mind some sort of animation on the loading screen as long as it makes sense to do so. But tbh, with SSD's loading zones in a matter of seconds, I don't think it matters much what's on the screen. But this sorta thing is late-development polish anyway :)

As long as they teach snakes to kick, I'm good.

1 minute is not going to be sustainable for people. That's far too long, and I assume people are using SSDs.
Some small animated scene like a Hearthstone card is sufficient for a normal load time. Maybe a slow dissolve from a screenshot of the zone into the new one is a simpler solution but still nice.

Each time you zone it takes 15 mins. This way travel really means alot. And you can watch TV while zoning.
