    Garuda took long to fix because they released the patch on the weekend and the following week was that big Japanese week-long holiday, Golden Week I think?

    Believe it or not developers are people too and need vacations at some point.

    I'm sorry, but I don't think you understand what Golden Week is. It's like Christmas for 7 days. You don't work this week. It's unheard of.

    Yeah you don't understand Japan -- Japan has little to no breaks from work/school, Golden Week is essentially the only "true" break Japan has and people will enjoy it. It's not like America where almost every 2 weeks there's some kind of holiday or off day lol.

    So it's not about "getting called in" it's about the fact it's literally "Don't do a damn thing for a week and enjoy it."

    Ah, Thanks. Obviously being American, I didn't understand why you wouldn't come in and fix something on a holiday (but apparently its because its one of their only holidays). They should hire other cultures for that particular week lol

    I'm sorry? All hell was breaking loose? I wouldn't define Garuda BLM burn or this instance all hell breaking loose. All that currency is going to be dumped into a relic anyway now that it's over and done with after this hot fix. The one who is going to benefit from this most is Gerolt. :P
