It’s just hilarious how Blizzard made a last minute decision " for the sake of players".
There are plenty of ways for those “players” not to overlay. They could volunteerly start the season at 31st as if that’s the season start. You could even just extend the season an extra week to compensate their lose of time.
Or the season could have started right after the fake season end before, to avoid the overlay.
Instead, you chose to adjust the start time, leaving the previous post a real joke and completely ignoring any possible preperation players might do.
For instance, I adjust my timetable so I could join the season tomorrow afternoon. And now you are literally telling me the effort is made for nothing.
Have you ever think about the feeling of players who don’t play D4, before making the dicision?
This is such a stupid and arrogent decision, I wish could be corrected in the following 24 hours.
I’ve been thinking for 10 days every hour and every minute about Friday the 24th. I asked for days off from work, it’s the league that I’ve enjoyed the most and that I’m going to enjoy, and now another week falls like a stone on my head… Now how do I make up for the days off? Seriously, what a stupid decision. As if d4 players were interested in d3.
Relax sir, let go of my arm hahahaha. It’s my favorite season and my favorite game. I can ask for days off from work as long as I have time, I’ve been in the same company for 25 years. Please let go of my arm.
Me to, i worked hard to finish all before friday this week… They couldnt think of this before the day before s34 drops??
Blizzard really manage to ruin BOTH season END AND season START!!
Thats kinda impressing, just sad its impressing in a very very bad way.
Yeah, and my wife has worked at the same company for 27 years and still has to go in when other people take days off for things more important than a video game. So, let me ask you, would you be okay having to go in because a colleague wants to play video games?
Let’s see, sir, I’ll explain it to you slowly. I haven’t played Diablo for 4 months, League 27 is my favorite league and I always like to be top 1 in Demon Hunter the first weekend (even if it’s only for an hour or a few minutes) so yes, I usually prepare everything to be calm both on Friday and Saturday when the league starts. Do you understand now, mate? Sir, asking for a day or 2 off only implies that your weekly days are moved to the ones you asked for, the only thing is that you ask for them in advance. I don’t usually ask for days off almost never. But you can rest easy, I’m not a surgeon, nobody will die in my attempt to play quietly for 48 hours. LOL
Many jobs have PTO. It is for people to request for and use when they want to use it for whatever they want to use it for. Reasons that may seem stupid to you, may not be stupid for the person requesting and stuff you may find important may be meaningless to others.
Well, I work 5 days and have 2 days off. Those 2 days rotate, Monday - Tuesday, Wednesday - Thursday, etc. If you ask 15 days in advance that week instead of Wednesday-Thursday, it be Friday-Saturday, there is absolutely no problem, and absolutely nothing happens.
And again, would be okay with someone else making you go to work because they want to play video games?
See, it’s not my judgement here. It’s that in all likelihood you wouldn’t appreciate someone taking off work to play a game and you were the one having to work. You can argue PTO and all that stuff, but if video games aren’t important enough that you’d accept having to go to work because someone else wants to play a game, then you shouldn’t be okay doing it yourself.
doesn’t matter what people want time off for, if they are employed and have leave time available to use its up-to them to use it.
its not for employers to be able to ask what its for, if they didn’t have the time available and they lied then that different.
but people take time off for any reason, boob jobs, dentist, sick, vet, doctors, meetings, family issues.
who cares.
you sound like you’re just projecting your own insecurities on others about working and playing games in your suspected 50’s? move on or go do some lawn bowls for god sake.
Bro, you’ve ended up making me feel bad. Ok, I don’t have a job, I made it up, I just wanted to make it clear that delaying the league for a week can be a decision that affects the players, I apologize, it won’t happen again, I’m sorry
That’s not true, because the people who work on the opposite days your normally off. Someone would have to come in on their normal day off to work the days you should have been working.
It’s not like people’s work magically gets done because they’re not there that day.
Like I said, how 'bout if I worked at your company and you have your normal days off and I have my normal days off but 15 days ahead I tell them, “I’m not going in that day.”
But then your company comes to you and says, “So and so is off that day and we need someone to work and I choose you.”
And you find out, that it was for a video game. Is that okay?
The schedules are made in 15 days. If before those schedules are made you ask for those days and they are approved, there is no problem, and even more so in a company of +50 people.
Come on man, leave the drama, I don’t ask why others ask for the days, as if they do it to stick a huge cucumber in their back eye
In 35 years of management, I couldn’t care less what people did on a day off that they were entitled to, requested off for and were approved, just as it was none of their business what I did on a day off that I requested. If you want to go into calling in sick, that is a different situation and one which wasn’t happening with the guy you quoted.
Question, in 27 years of your wife’s work career, has she ever asked for a day off or a vacation without it being a dire emergency?
How 'bout she need to get a knee replacement but won’t take time off work because she knows what kind of bind it would put her co-workers in, does that qualify?
You see, in most people’s cases, you care for the people you work with. Many of them are her friends in the outside world.
So yeah, excuse me if I take offense when I look at someone like my wife and find it disgusting that someone thinks it fine for someone like her to work on their day off because someone else wanted to play a frickin’ game.
again if her work cant sort that responsibility out that she cant have her knee replacement and has to remain in work… that sounds like major issues in the workplace, employer and her own self worth issues.
not someone else wanting to take time off
