It's been confirmed that it is a rolling launch. But remember that, even though the West coast is four timezones away form the East coast, it's still one nation, so West Coast will get it at 12am EST.
It's the same case in Australia which spans three timezones.

West coast will be getting it at 9pm on sept 5th , at the same time east coast is getting it at 12:00am on sept 6th

Edited by NoStatsHereMate: 8/29/2017 5:46:58 AMThat's right. I got PST and EST wrong (I'm not from the US).

I'm confused by your statement: "even though the West coast is four timezones away form the East coast, it's still one nation, so West Coast will get it at 12am PST." Do you mean EST? Meaning that the "rolling" launch rolls out via "nations" instead of timezones? This would be great news! :)

Edited by NoStatsHereMate: 8/29/2017 5:48:11 AMYes, so the East Coast will get it at 12am, and the West coast will get it at 9pm, since all of The US is "NA". Sorry, you're right, I got PST and EST wrong.

I think what he is saying is east coast will receive access to the game sooner than west coast because east is hours ahead, and the game is opening to everyone at their timezones midnight. So if that's the cause Australia would be receiving it 14(?) hours before east coast.

Edited by NoStatsHereMate: 8/29/2017 5:48:33 AMNo, I'm saying that it's the same case in Australia where the East coast will get it at midnight, but the west coast will get it two timezones sooner at 10pm the day before. If it was a global release time, then Australia's release date would show '5th Sept', rather than the 6th. Since The US is all one country, it releases at the same time simultaneously, rather than waiting for the three extra timezones.

Ah I see what you are saying

Hmm, so then why does my Playstation pre-order countdown say it will be ready at 9pm PST? So confusing!

[quote]my Playstation pre-order countdown say it will be ready at 9pm PST? [/quote]That's correct.

Yeah I'm honestly confused about the whole thing myself lol if the servers open up to everyone at the same time that would make sense, but be inconvenient to people who aren't in America. But if it were to release to Australia first, and continue to release based off the timezones, then Australia gets access first obviously which isn't bad, but would be nice to know. If Australia gets access first you may be able to trick the system, change the region on your console to Australia, and get access to the game before your region does. But if that were to work you would be playing on Australian servers.

[quote]then Australia gets access first obviously which isn't bad, but would be nice to know. [/quote] NZ gets it two hours sooner than Australia ;)
-
So if I change my nation on my Xbox would it let me get access to the game sooner?
-
It's a bit late now, but no, you'd have to create a new account from that region and purchase the game from that region's store.
-
Oh yeah!
-
Ah right lol
-
Thanks for all the info, here's hoping they clear up all launch questions on Thursday with the news drop :)
-
Hopefully! Crazy to think we are this close to the D2 release, glad the pc beta is out to give me my fix of D2 until release ;)
-
Same here! See you guys starside! <3
