Guild Wars 2

What time does the beta weekend start today?

I am North America Eastern Standard Time

Its 9:18 AM now

Seems like the sort of simple question that should be easily answerable with a sticky at the top of this forum.

Any reason why such a thing isn’t present?

It starts at noon, Pacific time, so I’m guessing 3pm, our time?
It started early last BWE tho, so I’d start checking in around noon

You could always check on a site like this for time zones to find out your particular zone

All the BWE’s have had a posted start time of 12:00 PDT.

All the BWE’s have actually started at ~9:00 PDT

Just put the time you want to know in the Upper Right Box, and “Pacific daylight Time” into the Lower Right Box, and it will convert the time for you.

It was more the “when does this thing start?”, but thanks anyway.

Seemed odd (and requiring little effort) to not have beta details stickied here on the most appropriate forum. Rather than having to hunt for them elsewhere.

Well you can always check the news section on this site and find it, no real hunting required;

Eastern is 3 hours ahead of Pacific, OP. This is something easily Googled if you don’t know how many time zones are in your own country (seriously, how do you not know?).

But yes, Noon PT is 3pm ET.

I know they start early sometimes but they haven’t started yet … I was working on an Engie in my beta slot to test Scrapper and realized when it started asking me all the PS questions that it wasn’t actually making a beta alt.
