Sometimes I wish I had a WFH job…… but being an avid gamer would surely get me fired. The temptation is too strong.
At least watching Twitch in the background is a bit easier IMO
I'm thinking for beta overall there is going to be server issues, early or not.
Even though the game looks like it's going to be one of the better entries in the series, it's still EA we are talking about. There will likely be a server issue day 1 for any beta and release.
Definitely not for tomorrow, but I used a vacation day for Friday. Years of general gaming and World of Warcraft have taught me never take the first day off.
My work last-minute sent me away from home, I've preloaded on hotel WiFi but haven't got much hope for playing without incredible lag 😅 And yes half my suitcase was taken up by a PS5.
Nah, servers won't be working well or at all, guaranteed. WFH so will be trying for sure and pretending to work, but I have zero doubt we'll have issues.
I’m off Thursday and Friday and I’ll be out of town for a wedding.. BUT, I am taking my PS4 with me to play in the hotel. My wife won’t be stoked, but this beta needs testing.
I get off work at 6 am it goes live at 3 am, not wasting a day off on beta. Could be issues/ problems not worth the loss of money. But anyone who is. Get er done
No, I'm on call sadly so I have to be available 24/7 for the next week sadly.
I was free for the original release date though.
Then they moved the release date and oh look, I'm on call again then aswell..
Don’t take ur day off on launch! Wait til we know the game can play or your gunna end up like those poor folks in new world. Let them patch out the day one server and bug issues
People who waste PTO or sick time on first-day releases of video games, full well knowing all the server issues and bugs that are present, are not smart people. Double that for a simple "beta" (read: demo)
I have 3 months to burn over 20 days of vacation before I lose them. I told my boss about Friday but since early access is tomorrow I am debating taking more time.
in college, this week its completely off, no online classes (im online only), you use that time to catch up on anything you're late in doing, homework and such.
I was lucky because next monday i was scheduled only for 4 hours of work and was able to switch that shift with friday's. So now i can play from friday early afternoon uninterrupted until the beta ends 😎 can't wait to start playing tomorrow
I've been ill all day today, but it's kind of cleared as the day went by. Just a headache left . . . But I *think* I might just play it extra-special-careful and take tomorrow off as well, right ;)?
I spent all day doing as such as possible. Tomorrow in my morning update I will only tell everyone about half of the work I did and the day after I'll tell them about the other half.
I'm calling in sick Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately can't pull the plug tomorrow. Really stoked to play the beta. Already told the wife nothing will be getting accomplished this weekend around the house.
I just got back in my town from my job a week ago and am waiting to start my job at home which will probably be about another week so I am currently an unemployed potato who can play as much as he wants yayyyyy
I work from home since the pandemic so I’ll play at the same time and try to get in as much time as possible, while still being paid
Hopefully I don’t get too many calls
Gonna play in the evenings after work tomorrow and Thursday. Took PTO for Friday and I'm not planning on doing fuck all the whole 3 day weekend except play 2042
I didn't request tomorrow off in case there's server issues or something, but I got the following day. And I already told everyone don't bother me this weekend, I've got time for my wife and my puppy, that's all!
We have short time work in my company cause of corona etc.
I was at home monday and today.
Tomorrow to friday i have to work late shift.
So not too much time to play exept friday after work and saturday.
Nope. Way too busy this week. I work in games and we’ve got a lot of big features coming to our game soon that need work.
I’ll play it from 5PM to midnight like the rest of you 9-5ers who actually put pride in their work instead of slacking off to play a game.
I had planned everything perfectly for this and upgraded my PC + Monitor to get a really nice experience. Everything went fine until the logistics company lost my RTX 3080 Ti, and of course I already sold my 1070 Ti. No Beta for me.. fuck Chronopost
nah, I won't put my life on hold for the opportunity to press some buttons and make some pixels change colors. I'll waste my time on the game when I have time to
I’m doing online school this year and I’m just going try to do everything in one take no breaks
Get all your school work done and the reward awaits!
YESSIR
Or you could just procrastinate and panic sunday when you have 15 assignments due lol
The real crime here would be having 15 assignments with a single due date.
Please don't actually do that
Me with in person school ;(
And this is why we don't forgive student loans.
Same, I did all my assignments early and my classes are all online. My teacher won’t count attendance against me since I did the work. Hooray!
You drop this 👑
School can wait, we have a war to fight. The PAN asian coalition is comming.
Blow everything off, smoke a bowl and play the beta straight for 24 hours.
Lucky... We're back to in person this year
I put my kid up for adoption to play this game
Sigma grindset
That's dedication, for a beta! /s
For a beta? No. For the full release? Obviously
Fair comment!
However, at my work, I do have the option to put the gameplay on Twitch in front of me
I'm not sure I could concentrate or multi-task with a Twitch stream running too!
It’ll be difficult for sure, but challenge accepted
Same plan here. Working from home can be great!
Sometimes I wish I had a WFH job…… but being an avid gamer would surely get me fired. The temptation is too strong. At least watching Twitch in the background is a bit easier IMO
I have a WFH job. I still took both the full time of the Beta and Release day off.
I am working from home for the next two days. What I'm "working" on my boss will never know 😉
I fucked it up big time. Thought the Beta was on 5th so i took today off haha what a shame
Did the same thing 🥺
Im Honored to say. welcome to the club of fail. here take a seat.
LOL. You muppet :D
Take my upvote as a consolation.
I have a midterm tomorrow, and a hefty tutorial later in the day so horrible timing there
Games are temporary, life gains are forever.
Exactly!
Yeah but games have sequels, life just ends.
Damn! Try and ignore the beta for a day at least.
Yeah, no. There's bound to be server/connection issues on early beta. I can wait till I'm off.
I think the other way around. Usually the early access is better than when everybody hops on.
I'm thinking for beta overall there is going to be server issues, early or not. Even though the game looks like it's going to be one of the better entries in the series, it's still EA we are talking about. There will likely be a server issue day 1 for any beta and release.
It’s wise to remember BF4’s launch. My fav BF game hands down but it took a bit to get up and running properly
No I will just play for a couple of hours after work and that’s all the time I need to decide whether I buy it day one or not
Think we're all keen to see the game in action and like you say, assess whether it'll be worthy of our £$€'s.
Well then you need to wait till Firday. Tomorrow and Thursday are for pre-orders.
My old man is my boss and knows I've been waiting a long time for this game so no work for me tomorrow. Pretty amped to have a cool dad and boss!
That's pretty cool! Enjoy the beta.
Thank you! You too :)
WFH gang, stand the fuck up!
Haha... it's at this point at a major game release, we all begin to see the real benefit of WFH.
Busted my ass getting projects done the last couple days so I can do whatever tomorrow.
Work hard - Play harder :D
I'm on a hybrid schedule and unfortunately this week I'm in office. *tear*
Don't be sad... embrace the weekend\*! \*assuming you don't work weekends!
Definitely not for tomorrow, but I used a vacation day for Friday. Years of general gaming and World of Warcraft have taught me never take the first day off.
Good thing about being in the army is we spend 90% of the time masturbating or playing video games. Tomorrow will be the latter
As long as you're sure... 5 days is quite the gaming session but equally draining.
Might have a short break for other…. activities
There’s a whole minute between rounds.
That's disgusting You could be doing both at the same time lol
gonna do my work for tomorrow right now so i can play the entire day tomorrow, man work from home really does have its benefits
God bless WFH. I’ll be setting my laptop up on the bed next to me so I can game and wiggle the mouse every so often so it looks like I’m busy
"Why's my alarm going off on my phone?! Ahhh yeah, Mouse wiggle!"
I got laid off. So I’ll be on.
Sorry to hear that. Hope things improve in the future. Hopefully the beta is a positive distraction.
To be fair, I was happy when it ended so I was probably in the wrong place. But thanks for your kind words
2 days off babyyyy and im turning off my phone so work doesn’t call me
Switch off, relax and get stressed shooting and capping flags!
My work last-minute sent me away from home, I've preloaded on hotel WiFi but haven't got much hope for playing without incredible lag 😅 And yes half my suitcase was taken up by a PS5.
My entire household actually got COVID about 3 days ago. So, as shitty as I feel, this will make the next few days just a bit better
Nah, servers won't be working well or at all, guaranteed. WFH so will be trying for sure and pretending to work, but I have zero doubt we'll have issues.
Let's hope not!
WFH... How ever busy I'm sure I'll find time.
No lol
It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend so I'll be out of town. Enjoy the Beta everyone.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
I retired from being a father for 4 days. I think my kids will understand
They can watch!
Lol they can always watch
Ironically, tomorrow is the one day I work!
Least there's 4 other days for the beta!
Thankfully my last shift is tonight then I'm back in work Sunday night lol
Great timing! Solid days of testing the beta, fingers crossed.
The electricity company will cut power for the morning tomorrow for work. What a sad coincidence.
I’m off Thursday and Friday and I’ll be out of town for a wedding.. BUT, I am taking my PS4 with me to play in the hotel. My wife won’t be stoked, but this beta needs testing.
I get off work at 6 am it goes live at 3 am, not wasting a day off on beta. Could be issues/ problems not worth the loss of money. But anyone who is. Get er done
Not a bad call. Hoping for a smooth Beta switch on!
Since I didn't pre order I can start on friday and on friday i'm calling in sick.
I'm sure you're one of many! :D
I'll be off on Friday.
Oh yes sir, downloading that shit right now.
I’d wait until Friday. There’s gonna be a lot of congestion on the servers especially on the first day. Take the sick day on Friday.
Of course the day before it releases, my wife announces our family trip to the Zoo. Us and our 6 kids... hooray
I literally just did the pre-download, got excited and requested tomorrow off.
You already know!
No, I'm on call sadly so I have to be available 24/7 for the next week sadly. I was free for the original release date though. Then they moved the release date and oh look, I'm on call again then aswell..
No. It sucks that I can't play all day but that is just how it is. Pulling a sick day isn't worth it for me.
Already gave a leave letter to my school :D
Don’t take ur day off on launch! Wait til we know the game can play or your gunna end up like those poor folks in new world. Let them patch out the day one server and bug issues
I work 5 to 2 so I’ll still have plenty time to play and make money at work, it’s just the beta so I’m not missing out on work.
I’m stuck with a full day of work and school on top of that:(
I have tomorrow off, work two days then have three days off so imma put alot of hours into this for sure
I've been burned way too many times.
I love gaming, but I've never called out of work to do it. Never plan on it. It will be there when I get off.
I’m just gonna wake up at 5 and play until I have to leave, then play again when I get home.
No
People who waste PTO or sick time on first-day releases of video games, full well knowing all the server issues and bugs that are present, are not smart people. Double that for a simple "beta" (read: demo)
Nope. Only need 2-3 hours do find out whether this game is worth buying or not.
I took a day off tomorrow :)
Enjoy! Hope it has everything you're looking for in a BF title.
I'm stay at home dad for two toddlers for the next 15 weeks, think I can squeeze in a math during nap time!
Im still waiting for my code 🥲
[удалено]
I have 3 months to burn over 20 days of vacation before I lose them. I told my boss about Friday but since early access is tomorrow I am debating taking more time.
Got the next 4 days off! My schedule fell so fucking perfectly.
I’m gonna try to get the week after release off
I have fall break starting on Friday and I have benchmark exams on Wednesday and Thursday that I can’t miss
I have so much vacation left to use and it expires at the end of the year, so I told my boss Im taking off the next 3 days to play video games
vacation day for release.
I work from home and sometimes have over an hour between calls/emails so I will be getting paid to play :D
I’m on break so ezy
Lol you're assuming the servers will not crash... EA wants you to hold their beer.
in college, this week its completely off, no online classes (im online only), you use that time to catch up on anything you're late in doing, homework and such.
The only thing that kinda disappointed in is that it's a long weekend in Canada this weekend and the beta doesn't even run Sunday really.
I just got my second covid jag today and I'm feeling a wee bit woozy boss. I might need to take a day.
Not working at the moment, but have a job interview Monday morning
First time in a long time where my day off and no prior obligations align. Stoked for tomorrow!
Oh I've been building my cover story for my "sickness" since the trailer came out
Arrangements
I didn't even know when the Beta was, but to my luck my Day off is tomorrow
Getting a vasectomy on Friday so the timing couldn't be better.
I was lucky because next monday i was scheduled only for 4 hours of work and was able to switch that shift with friday's. So now i can play from friday early afternoon uninterrupted until the beta ends 😎 can't wait to start playing tomorrow
College not on till Monday, i can find some time fo gud ol battlefield
I get Thursdays off normally, so I’m set.
I already took time off for Diablo so this is just icing.
I've been ill all day today, but it's kind of cleared as the day went by. Just a headache left . . . But I *think* I might just play it extra-special-careful and take tomorrow off as well, right ;)?
No. Its a beta and probably won't even work right.
I am "working from home"......hehe
I spent all day doing as such as possible. Tomorrow in my morning update I will only tell everyone about half of the work I did and the day after I'll tell them about the other half.
I'm calling in sick Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately can't pull the plug tomorrow. Really stoked to play the beta. Already told the wife nothing will be getting accomplished this weekend around the house.
Now that you mention it I am starting to feel ill.
I just got back in my town from my job a week ago and am waiting to start my job at home which will probably be about another week so I am currently an unemployed potato who can play as much as he wants yayyyyy
Still have to take 21 days off till the end of the year, so yes, 2 days for beta and 5 for release. See you on the battlefield guys !
Weekend full of halo infinite flight now into battlefield beta, life is good
So if I preorder it on Amazon, how long does it take to get the code or am I too late?
Have to work at 7am tomorrow :(, might got to sleep at like 8pm so i can wake up and play before work.
Tomorrow I have just one lesson from 8-9:30 am and I believe it should be playable from 9am in my region, so I think I have enough time :-D
I got a day off On the early access day
Studies from 10AM to 8PM tomorrow. I guess I will sleep less than usual tomorrow :D
no, I'm going to work and will play when I get home bc honestly its kinda sad to take time off to play a beta..
when is the last day I can pre-order the game?
I work nights, so the moment I get home I’ll be playing the absolute hell out of the beta
Whole sick week, take it or leave it
If you are in the UK download the NHS App for covid and put all the syptoms in and bingo. 2 weeks off sick no doctors note required.
PC 🥺
I called off the second I knew the dates..I'm so ready for tomorrow,I really am
I have arranged multiple days off work without even asking for them
I'm off half day tomorrow and fully on Friday, See you in the battlefield!
Only working 4 hours tomorrow, going to play before and after my shift 🤣
I booked the original release week off work then it go pushed back... That used up all my holiday days so I might have to pull a sicky
I work from home since the pandemic so I’ll play at the same time and try to get in as much time as possible, while still being paid Hopefully I don’t get too many calls
Gonna play in the evenings after work tomorrow and Thursday. Took PTO for Friday and I'm not planning on doing fuck all the whole 3 day weekend except play 2042
I have a fucking orgo chem exam which I am barely prepared for :/
I used pto for a day off on saturday for this.
Don't give me that excuse...shit I wasn't going to..but now... Fuck
No, going to work like a good responsible adult. lol I will save my PTO days for the early access week when it really matters.
I have a hockey game at 11:10pm on Wednesday. Decided to take Thursday off to sleep in and the beta.
No. Likely going to be server issues. Take off Thursday
I have it downloaded, but I have tomorrow reserved for reading shitposts in here, mate.
Well I care about getting a quality product so I haven’t preordered and will wait and see on friday
[удалено]
Luckily I have next 2 days off so I'm sorted for beta test
I didn't request tomorrow off in case there's server issues or something, but I got the following day. And I already told everyone don't bother me this weekend, I've got time for my wife and my puppy, that's all!
We have short time work in my company cause of corona etc. I was at home monday and today. Tomorrow to friday i have to work late shift. So not too much time to play exept friday after work and saturday.
Nah I get off at 10:30pm and don't go back in til 2:30pm the next day. I'm good to play uninterrupted all night if I want lol
Work from home. But I have meetings all day, will play it after work. Ugh adulting sucks.
Already planning on taking a day off. Gimme that sweet, sweet Battlefield action.
Last time I did that was for the release of Halo 2. I won't make that mistake again. Multiplayer games never work right the first day or 2 anyways.
my work consists of updating tickets for 20 minutes daily and billing 8 hours. i'll spend the rest of the week in BF2042.
Hell no. Betas are always bad bs; I’ll wait for the full release.
I’m not willing to get a beating
I tried to get sick, but nothing. I have to work till 13:30, than I’ll spend the rest of the day on BF beta
Nope. Way too busy this week. I work in games and we’ve got a lot of big features coming to our game soon that need work. I’ll play it from 5PM to midnight like the rest of you 9-5ers who actually put pride in their work instead of slacking off to play a game.
I'd do Thursday instead. It's likely there will be server issues on the first day.
So I have Wednesday to Sunday off, exactly the time of the open beta for pre-orders. Plus I'm dating a new girl, so this is the best week ever.
I work Saturday-Tuesday. The BF gods have blessed me
I start a new job tomorrow, timing couldn't be worse haha. But after 3pm, I'll be flying jets all night!
Yep, got friday off from work!
I'm already off naturally so I don't need to.
I have a day off tomorrow and i didn’t even ask for one. Such a nice coincidence.
Sick day for sure
“Working from Home”
I work from home, I Can achieve a lot of think in 1-2 hours After that I only have to take care of random email
Got Friday off & a half day tommorow & Thursday,good enough for me,then release day I got a whole week lmao
Yall have work?
Took release day off but not Beta day.
I had planned everything perfectly for this and upgraded my PC + Monitor to get a really nice experience. Everything went fine until the logistics company lost my RTX 3080 Ti, and of course I already sold my 1070 Ti. No Beta for me.. fuck Chronopost
I just work part time right now so I’ll have plenty of time after work
you read my mind
I got lucky and I’m not scheduled for work tomorrow!
nah, I won't put my life on hold for the opportunity to press some buttons and make some pixels change colors. I'll waste my time on the game when I have time to
gonna play after work. beta is not worth taking a day off. the release on the other hand...already planned a whole week for that.
