Hey everyone!

We just wanted to let you know about our availability now that the holidays are fast approaching.

Listed down below are the dates that the D3 Go! team will be out of the office:

December: 12/24 - 12/31
January: 1/1 & 1/2 *Update*
(Pretty much next week + weekends)

Having said that though, I'll be sure to stop by the forums every now and then to make sure everything is alright, and to answer any messages.
(Well...after opening holiday presents, of course icon_lol.gif)

Happy Holidays!

Cheers,
Brigby

    I wonder if it will end like the Boss Rush did.

    How it was then? Something like this (IIRC):
    2 days of not fixing anything, then... weekend!
    We will see you after the unplayable bug-fest ends. icon_lol.gif

    So are we going to get a sneek peak for events and buffed characters for the first week of Jan or is someone going to take time from their holidays to update the forum?

    D3 isn't likely to fix the problems.

    Now if Demiurge is off for 12 days also...that'll be interesting.

    Brigby,

    Does this include the CS team as well? Because as you may know they are currently getting a lot of time-sensitive cover swap requests. Would hate for people to miss out on those because of poor planning with a sale/new release.



    Edit: CS is working. Thanks, guys!

    Hope your holidays go well, and thanks for all the help you have provided us so far.

    I know it might be a little early to ask, and this isn't anything pressing, but I wasn't really sure where else to mention this. As far as I can tell, Patch is the only character who's attack descriptions don't mention how strong the strike tiles are going to be. It'd be really helpful to know that in advance, since you're giving them to the other team too. Again not super important, just something I was hoping I could relay to you somehow and I wasn't sure of the best place to do so.

    I just re-read this and realised, he didn't say that they're not in the office on 2nd January. We get 2 non-weekend days for New Year, I thought USA had at least one.

    It depends on the business. If one's line of work typically follows banking and federal government observed holidays, then they would be off work Monday the 2nd as observed New Year's Day. Many standard businesses do not; it depends on how management approaches it.

    I work in IT for a major US corporation, and our corporate unit shuts down for a week and a half to two weeks over the holidays. My department is 24x7x365 IT operations support, however, so we still staff even on Christmas Day (which I worked last year).

    My wife works in food/beverage insurance, and they follow banker holidays; her company will not be in the office on the 2nd.

    Wow, so businesses have a choice as to whether or not to give their staff Monday 2nd as a holiday? Not wanting to get too off-topic, it does seem unfair, unless there's some other recompense.

    Going completely off-topic... We have Waitangi Day (6th February) and ANZAC Day (25th April) as national holidays. Until a few years ago, if either was on a weekend, tough. Then they were "Mondayised", so if either falls on a weekend we get the following Monday as a day off instead. Most shops and cafes are still open, but often cafes will add a surcharge of up to 20%.

    Does any of that 20% go into the pockets of the employees working the cafe that day to compensate them for having to work when the white collar folk are off, or is it business owners taking advantage of people having the day off to charge them more?
