Guild Wars 2

The west coast is currently on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). As of this posting, it is about 8am PDT.

There have been a lot of posts saying the Act III starts at Noon Pacific Standard Time (PST). That would be incorrect as the switch from PDT to PST doesn’t happen until November 4th. This would be a problem for our friends outside the States because PST is UTC-8:00 and PDT is UTC-7:00.

I live in Milwaukee on Central Time so for me the event starts at 2:00pm.

:??

I’m not sure to understand. I live in Europe, they have always given time in PST, and we had never missed anything.

Also, they have given the time in GMT (as opposed to GST, which we had until yesterday – at least, we changed the clock last night here in Germany), so it still shouldn’t be a problem to calculate the correct tome for your region.

guessing the event will start at 8 pm in Germany, as we are GMT+1

As of this post, the event starts in 3 hours and 45 minutes.

Sigh,

GMT is a standardised international time. It never has daylight savings. It is always GMT. If your nation uses GMT then its at 7pm for you. if your in a timezone where its GMT+3 then it is at 10pm.

MrPowel has the crux of it (that PDT/PST are not international standards of timing) but by and large its irrelevant as they also post with GMT times now for events (I’m guessing due to pressure from the community)

And PST has always been the time…. I know the I’m PST + 3 which is how I calculate anytime there is event going on. So for my region is starts at 3pm

It starts in 3 1/2 hours.

LOL, way to make everyone nervous that they have the time wrong.

LOL

3 hours exactly until the event, next week we will be back on pst. This topic is irrelevant though because Anet has been saying pacific time not pacific daylight time.
