I am "working" from home Thursday and Friday... If you get my drift.

✭✭✭Well I work from a home office all the time, so for me it's more about trying to stay focused on work... or at least focused enough that it at least looks like I'm getting stuff done

For some reason it doesn't work on my phone from work.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Well, as much of an addiction I have to playing this game I certainly won't be skipping work. I have to do the whole 'responsible-adult-with-a-mortgage' thing.

HAHAHA.
I'm married, 2 kids, full time job, and a mortgage... But it never hurts to use a sick day to recoup and level your char!
LOL
I just wonder how many 13 year olds told their mom they were sick this morning.1 -

Amen to that. Ah the days of being a college student and binging on video game marathons with friends.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Naaa, work is just way too interesting to skip.
Gotta optimize that 32bit floating point FFT algorithm to run faster on an automotive head-unit ARM processor. Already got a 3x speed increase but i'm looking for 4x ...

3x speed increase? You should work for ZOS, especially when it comes to speed buff reduction again^^

✭✭✭✭✭I don't have a level 50 so I'm not worried about CP yet and my characters are always over-levelled for the area they're in, so I'm actually wondering if I want to use this at all.
I'm certainly not going to be taking time away from work, where I have about 1,001 more important things to do so I can do what amounts to spending less time playing ESO.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Funny you mention that, at the end of the beta i actually applied for a job at ZOS.
I have worked in the gaming industry for many years, including work on fast, high traffic network code, client/server prediction code, rendering code and AI.
Never heard back from them ...

✭✭✭✭✭I can't, I'm a lawyer, if I miss any deadlines I could really ruin some lives
Besides, there is the whole post-graduation thing that I can't skip or I'd ruin MY life lol
I'm so jealous.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I took tomorrow off since I have to work this weekend... however, I then get home tonight to find that the XP gain is currently maxed at 100% until the hotfix tomorrow to make it stackable 'up to' 185%... however, on the major plus side, they extended the timeframe to Tuesday night... so that gives me two more days to take advantage of this since I have next Mon/Tue off!!

Won't be skipping work. Will keep the cake popped when I'm playing PvE...if I play any PvE this week.Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...0 -
Miszou✭✭✭✭✭
✭I must be about the only person that collected the cake just so I could add it to my collection. I certainly wouldn't take a day off for it (chatting on forums while at work is completely different. :P )
I have absolutely zero interest in leveling faster, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
IMHO, the game is the journey, not the destination.1 -
