Can we please delay Savage?

They give you a vague approximation of when it is. "About Mid Feb". Hardly something you can use to set up days off unless you block two weeks vacation time.

You can always do that, then adjust no? I used to do that in the past when dates weren't set in stone for expansion launches. Blocked off a month a year in advance, then narrowed it down to the days I wanted off once it was set in stone.

So its everyone's fault that you cant take time off? By the time they tell you the patch release you would still not have enough time to request the time off. It literally changes nothing

I made an initial post that was tangential to the original topic. Stating that them giving us 2 weeks notice on the actually patch release date was too short (regardless of the savage delay topic) and was replying to someone who said the quoted message.

Short answer is: no you can't, but yes you have to because SE leaves you no other choice.

There are plenty of places that require you to put your time off a month in advance (at least) and once it's locked in, the schedule can't be changed. So if you take two weeks there's no going back on it once you know the date. So in that sense it's a no.
If you're going to raid week 1 with their late announcements you need to find a workaround which can go from depending on the benevolence of your boss to relying on coworkers to pick up your hours. There are no ideal scenarios here.

Hence my original post.
