    True, this is gonna vary family to family xD My parents just shoot me a text message when they need something instead of coming to my room/interrupting me. I'm the only child currently so I don't have to worry about a little brother running in and nagging me or showing me his new toy xD

I know some people have festivals they attend, but I assume that's a minority compared to the general population. Do families sit and watch christmas movies for 12 hours, have some religious event/tradition of household events that fill up 6-12 hours or? I'm assuming most if not all businesses are closed so you aren't leaving the house.
    I envy your relaxed home life. Christmas is a performative nightmare for me - not even for religious reasons just bizarre adherence to "decorum" that turns the day into a 12 hr ordeal of being "on" - I hate it and then have to do the exact same thing again on the day after because for some reason my partner of 17 years is still not regarded as a proper member of the family so we have to split for Christmas and take turns doing it again visiting the family we didn't get to see on the next day. The last thing I wanna do is rush home after all of this and navigate organizing with 22 anonymous nerds. I imagine the feeling is similar for anyone who has to have any responsibility over xmas that extends beyond showing up at dinner time XD [I'm jealous - I'm very jealous!]

    They told you to do it at your own pace and play other games. It's at the end of the LL. The same genius marketing as always.

    I know you're joking, but it certainly does feel like they're intentionally making it more difficult for other regions.

    They're putting the ultimate right on Thanksgiving for the US and then Chaotic on Christmas Eve, which would affect most of NA and EU. Christmas isn't as big of a deal in Japan.

    World first is also something SE acknowledges and congratulates people on. So even if someone doesn't care much about it, it's a semi-official thing.

    Only the US has thanksgiving on that date, literally no one else cares. I'm not going anywhere because I'm one of those wage slaves who gets days not worked instead of time off.


    No one is going to care about world first chaotic WoD. Its Extreme content. I don't think anyone has ever celebrated world first extremes.

    The point is they're putting one of the competing regions (the largest one at that) at a disadvantage in a contest they recognize.

    You don't care, and that's fine. This isn't about you, then. They're obviously stacking the deck for JP prog.

    Oh please. This has nothing to do with the world first races. Such a small amount of the population cares about those to begin with. I know no one who cares lol, if you don't count the 5 people here on the forums complaining about it.

    If no one cares, then it's no big deal to make it a week later.

    You say no one cares, but if they released an ultimate during Golden Week, SE would be deep in it.

    If they delayed it a week you'd have people complaining it was delayed because patches are already too long.


    Also, DSR released 3 days before Golden Week started, you know, cuz Tuesdays.
