I know this is the case for me with the following doors:
1) leading from the initial Kadara Port landing site (where you can see the Tempest and travel to the slums) into the main area with the shops, on the first floor
2) same as above, but on the second floor (essentially between Liam's initial position and Peebee's)
3) entering Kralla's Song
4) entering Sloane's chamber
There may be others as well, but those are the ones that I remember. I don't recall any story-related reason for this, and I don't understand why it would be demanded by the game (the Port doesn't strike me as a particularly large area to load). I know that I can fast travel, which is often quicker, and I do just that when I remember how long it will take to open the darn things, but sometimes I just want to go to the darn bar without having to fast travel from one end of the Port to the other to avoid stubborn doors.
I estimate the door-opening time at 4-5 seconds. Yes, we've reached the point where I'm complaining about seconds. But when the doors everywhere else open in a second or less, it's highly noticeable and quickly becomes a drag, especially when I find myself wanting to go back and forth to check on various quests, bug Sloane some more, check up on various squadmates, and have another look in merchant inventories. I'm also posting it here in case it's symptomatic of some larger issue.
@virtus753 Thanks for the post, as far as I'm aware this is the same for everyone. I know I immediately got which doors you were referring to.
I assume this is working as intended, as not all of the doors in the area are slow, so I assumed it's masking a load screen for the areas which have a lot of NPCs. It may be worth noting that you can use a quick travel terminal at Sloane's to get to the port, as this may save at least a little time.
If this changes/gets reduced we'll be sure to let folks know.
