Hopefully everyone that took time off can adjust it! (Or find something else to do during it worthwhile, new sudden family vacation!!! ;) )

i hear ya, was concerned since Im gonna be gone from the 17 for x days so now i dont have to worry bout not being able to play the EA.

the fact that endwalker is postponed does not bother me in fact,
what bothers me is that they could have announced and made the decision a month ago already, I find that scandalous for the people who took their days off.

This sucks. I really hope the delay is worth it.

At this point I really don't care. I had planned my vacations so that I could enjoy the story and get ready for my raid. In the end I got the middle finger. Sadly I won't be able to both see the story and get ready for raid with the new schedule. So yeah thank you...
Yes I'm salty, you don't need to tell me. I won't be raiding due to this nonsensical situation. And what best, 2 weeks before release. Couldn't they just say it a month or so before? They saw the influx of new players, they have the numbers so why do stuff like that last minute...geez!

I'm literally just learning about this now (from deciding to skim the forums). Well, this sucks. Oh well, I guess I'll be able to get through an RPG or two I had been wanting to playthrough (again).

I totally agree with you. My stomach fell when I heard about the delay. I can’t reschedule either now. I’m actually really angry right now over it. If we had been told earlier, I could have traded for that week, but now I am stuck. They may have made the final decision last week, but I would bet you they have been thinking about delaying it a lot longer, just putting it off until the very last minute.

Both. I would be frustrated, and that's why I would not use my PTO on someone else's schedule (that's not an immediate family/close friends, etc.).

In this case, I used unpaid time off instead and I just requested more unpaid time off for the new dates while keeping the current time off as it's too late to change them.

100% Fine with a delay. Team should take as much time as they need, especially to finish the game in a way that's healthy for the team.

Not fine with how late the communication (And I suppose decision to delay) about this was. People have taken days off for it already. Though I think they knew how controversial that decision would have been... I wonder what the major issues are, it can't just be polish for a delay to happen this late can it?

Nothing wrong on venting frustration, just know that the game will eventually come out and still be played.
I mostly work in seasons (summer and a little on winter) so I tend to miss a lot of cool stuff (5.3 patch being released in period of hard-core summer work, so much fun).

My work is also a mess that I could get called for travel anytime in less than a week of the release date lol

Oh well, not much to say honestly aside expecting the delay to be much further

It's disappointing but considering they probably need to get not only the software for the expansion perfect but also the infrastructure for the anticipated masses of people it's a good decision.

Yes its poor timing but in cases like this you cannot make such decision months in advance - you reach the milestone and if something is not in place or will not be in place then you have to re-schedule. Sucks for all those who arranged time off but in reality better to delay than just have everyone stuck in a queue or something just not working.
