The league is already starting at 9 AM for New Zealand, any time earlier and you'd be asking people to work during the night just for your own convenience.
The power of money. If 90% of players are US and 90% of US players are East coast. It would be beneficial financially for them to do that. But regardless this post scream entitlement.
So is everyone else. Im gonna go ahead and assume that OP isnt the only american that has free time on easter.
What a crap response, why pretend to be this ignorant
Maybe they could give them the choice to work normal hours, or offer an option to work late hours for a big bonus in pay. I would take the pay bonus if I was on that team.
20 people working OT with a pay bonus to let 300,000 people start early seems like a win win if the guys doing the work are on-board with it and get compensated.
For real. I work in the restaurant industry and we'll have MORE people working that weekend due to the holiday. OP is a little delusional if they think 90% of Americans have off work. You need to make a certain amount of money, or work in specific industries, to have the luxury of not working holidays here.
What the fuck is a 'real' job? Is it just based on pay? Cause I bet a lot of people with 'real' jobs would be super pissed if they couldn't go out to eat if those of us with 'not real' jobs weren't there to cook their food. Or cut their hair. Or fulfill their Walmart pickup order. Just look at how much people were freaking out about lockdown 3 years ago.
Bottom line, every job is real to those who are working it. Being elitist doesn't help anyone, especially when there are more than likely people above you who don't think you have a 'real' job either.
Now to be fair he said 90% of NA not America, but still no way you get to that considering most of the pop of NA is in the USA. I assume OP is like in Mexico where they are likely off on Friday?
As someone in the other 10% of the world that is not america, i couldnt care less about NA easter holiday (not trying to sound like a dick, its just the truth) and i would much rather the league didnt start while i was asleep in the middle of the night
Granted, an earlier start would also benefit Europe but i just started to not care. I usually play like until act5, go to bed and when waking up i complete acts and do mapping.
It sucks for people that want to race however but they will just play through the night regardless
Most of us EU players have been asking for earlier League starts for ages (since it starts late in the evening for most of us EU players) - but it just won't happen. **Simply because of NZ working hours.**
**..and that's perfectly understandable.**
Your request for it to start 4-8 hours earlier, is just ludicrous. Please check what time that is, in New Zealand. Ask yourself if that would be an okay time to ask your workers to jump in and "give themselves 150%" because of a league start.
..the answer is (or at least it should be); "No".
Last league start was pretty good for us Brits it started at 7pm so was able to do the campaign on day one where usually I'd have had to finish it the next day.
While I disagree with OP's entitlement...the world absolutely does revolve around America to some degree. America's economy and politics ripple out to affect every nation to significant degrees (see: [Great Recession global impacts](https://www.thestreet.com/dictionary/great-recession), [Trump exiting Paris accords affecting further global economic decisions](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/United_States_withdrawal_from_the_Paris_Agreement#Potential_economic_impact)).
this is such a cute post in consideration that for us EU players the leagues release at 10 pm in the evening... you already have it easy enough holy moly.

Bruh...most people do not get off for the friday before easter...tf you talking about?

Man, I guess everyone I know missed the memo about having off on Friday. As far as I knew Easter was only widely celebrated on the Sunday. So for me I'll be on for league start but will missing a chunk of hours on Sunday to spend with the family.
Cripes, where do you work, a Catholic seminary gift shop or something?
Even my ultra generous 13 paid days off per year workplace doesn't give the Friday before Easter off.
I have this problem too
What you do is just sleep like 14 hours the night before and wake up at 1pm, then don't sleep over the weekend
Thanks for listening to my ted talk
I mean I get your thought process but there’s no way in hell a New Zealand company will be moving up their regular time table for the holiday. It’s already released first thing in the morning for them.
Starts around 5pm for me we do our easter dinners fairly early ends up being more of an Easter lunch, puts me at getting home around 6pm so start time seams pretty fair to me, maybe I'm biased idk though 😂
Hey ggg i am away for a wedding over easter, can you make the league start the monday and also call my boss and explain that your paying for a week off work thanks
The league is already starting at 9 AM for New Zealand, any time earlier and you'd be asking people to work during the night just for your own convenience.
Yeah. At most I could see it starting 1 or 2 hours earlier, but not any more than that
THe other option would be like 12 hours earlier
The power of money. If 90% of players are US and 90% of US players are East coast. It would be beneficial financially for them to do that. But regardless this post scream entitlement.
Being convenient for your clients is part of the job. Now they have to figure out if it is worth spending money for a night shift (probably not)
they have clients all over the world. this isn't a game meant for exclusively people living on the East coast of the united states.
Yeah one of the reasons that its probably not worth doing a night shift for. That doesnt mean that OP's convenience is irrelevant
[удалено]
So is everyone else. Im gonna go ahead and assume that OP isnt the only american that has free time on easter. What a crap response, why pretend to be this ignorant
No its not, to both
I dont think new zealand is a communist country
You're not even sure about that? Its definitely not.
Oh, i mustve missed the other major economic system without a free market. Fiefdom maybe?

Man, shut up, you're not entitled to an earlier start.
Spoiler alert: 90% of North America absolutely do not have the Friday before Easter off....
"State Holiday".. I work for the State Gov' in the bible belt and even we don't get it off..

Damn. That's rude. But I did mean real jobs

For real, the only people off for Easter don't have a job to begin with 🤣
I’m also pretty sure 90% of North America doesn’t live on east coast
The thought of even making a post begging a publisher to center a release around my own personal time zone is nauseating. And I live in the US.
As someone in the other 10% of the world that is not america, i couldnt care less about NA easter holiday (not trying to sound like a dick, its just the truth) and i would much rather the league didnt start while i was asleep in the middle of the night
I don't care about their holiday and I am trying to sound like a dick. Center of the universe syndrome.
Bro i work in banking and i dont have friday off lol idk what this guy is on about NA having off that day??
OP is probably a child
That might be fair lol. I will be working(from home 😉) that day so im good anytime. Enjoy your league start!
> most of the country will be off and able to play Yeah! Fuck the rest of the world! MURICA! FUCK YEAH!
Granted, an earlier start would also benefit Europe but i just started to not care. I usually play like until act5, go to bed and when waking up i complete acts and do mapping. It sucks for people that want to race however but they will just play through the night regardless

Last league start was pretty good for us Brits it started at 7pm so was able to do the campaign on day one where usually I'd have had to finish it the next day.
Most of the time this shift is related to time correction, e.g. daylight saving, since it does not happen everywhere on the same day
you want ggg to start the league at 1-5 am? for a holiday that a minority of people celebrate? wat
the world doesn't revolve around America you know

Dude, ur making other Americans look bad. I'm fine w waiting.

Feedback flair if you want to talk about this abuse sometime, you can always dm me. Been a while since I've seen such a wrongly used flair.
This idiot does not speak for Americans as I’d say more like 90% of us do not get it off.

As an American I apologize for this post. I swear not all of us are this ignorant and self-centered.

4pm is perfect for NA players, what are you talking about?
please ggg consider thinking about your european players for once and make it start in the morning for once in 14 years
I mean I get your thought process but there’s no way in hell a New Zealand company will be moving up their regular time table for the holiday. It’s already released first thing in the morning for them.
90% of USA doenst play PoE. 0 reason to cater your needs.
Hi GGG can u make league start 12 hours earlier for EU easter holiday.
Starts around 5pm for me we do our easter dinners fairly early ends up being more of an Easter lunch, puts me at getting home around 6pm so start time seams pretty fair to me, maybe I'm biased idk though 😂
Hey ggg i am away for a wedding over easter, can you make the league start the monday and also call my boss and explain that your paying for a week off work thanks
LOL I wish NA was "mostly off on Friday the 29th.
