I live in western australia...its 3am saturday morning ( friday night ) start and finishes 3pm on monday afternoon.
That makes sense but throughout my entire life I don't recall ever seeing a timer on a site and having it be wrong, shouldn't it be internally set to your own time or something?
No... it's set to Seattle time, where they are based...

I'm in CST US it will be 2 PM Friday. Im not sure what GMT is exactly but I guess it's possible it's Saturday depending on where you live.
Same story as D3 ... it can be friday-sunday or saturday-monday for you depending on your region.
My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.
So it's their time, meaning I still have to wait the amount of time it'll take to be the correct time in their time. What a rip, I thought I'd be able to play it on firday (TODAY) like EVERYONE said. Funny I never seen any UK players mention it at 8pm.
Staggering the time so that some players got to play 8hours earlier than other players would also be seen as a 'rip'.
They set one global time, and that is when it starts. Time zones exist, game is made outside of your time zone, not much can be done.
Look at it this way, you'll be able to play it 8hours into monday your time? I don't know. Not like you actually get to play less. Mountain out of a molehill.
So getting to play at 8pm/20:00 Friday (TODAY) isn't playing Friday to you?
You do understand that the beta will not be shorter for you then anyone else right? Instead of it ending midnight on Sunday like it does in the US it will end at 8am Monday morning for you in the UK (will end at 9am for me in Sweden).
You don't even want to know, when it starts in Finland.. I would change to 8pm anytime! xD
What is born each night? And dies each dawn?~
What is so delicate, that when you say its name, it is broken?~
I think the OP wanted to play it at 12:00, HIS time. Meaning 8 hours earlier than Americans.
Sorry but the world isn't centered around you. And I think you should be happy to play at 8PM, which is a much better time than 12:00 on a weekday, considering people has school / work to go to in the US and we don't.
Just so ppl understand ... ehm, the length of beta remains unchanged regardless of your time zome.

It doesn't have to change per your location as the event will start for everyone at the same time. Not same time as in 8pm/noon/3am or whatever; as in when the countdown get's to 0 we all get in no matter what country.
Time is relative, yo.
Ofc, you could pay a pilot to fly you back to another timezone...shame concord doesn't fly anymore really..
