    A Cautionary Tale about Using PTO for Expansion Launches

    It's never, ever, ever worth it.

    A shout out to my fellow workers reading these forums at work, make that dough and relax while the game gets fixed.

    Sure it is because you're taking a day off from probably a crappy place to work.

    It was worth it for me. Logged in with only a queue of 30 at 7am this morning. The queue problems didn't start until people started getting off of work.

    My work place offers unlimited pto within reason so taking off was worth it. Plus as the above post said, around 7 am est there was barely any queue. Played pretty much the full day with no issues. The queue seemed to be bad after 5pm when people got home from work.

    PTO is always worth it. You could do literally nothing all day, just stare at a blank wall, and it'd be worth it.

    Jealous of sitting in queue?

    Don't take PTO for expansion launches. Take PTO because you have crippling depression and work has completely exhausted your mental capacity for living and so you want to spend a few days going inward and doing nothing productive.

    Eh, I think you should use your PTO for a week after launch instead, unless you want to be those first-loggers who will likely suffer from super long queue.
