So apparently I missed the Q&A at gamescom which I was really looking forward to seeing. In the thread, the specified time was 11:00-12:00 (CEST). Normally, am/pm is mentioned and even when filing reports, time zone is important.
So did I misunderstand? Is it military time? When looking at the Live Letter announcements on Lodestone, it reads "Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at 4:00 a.m. (PDT)" Very specific, and clear for conversion.

Most of the world uses military time. You should learn to use it as well, especially if you're watching or doing anything even remotely international, which in this day and age is pretty much unavoidable.

Europe by default uses the 24 hour clock so yes, however, you haven't missed out the panel is available on the official twitch channel.

Like numbering Live Letters outside Roman numerals, they wouldn't do it. Gamescom was in Germany, yet there was a lot of English spoken, even with the twitch commentators. International is nice and all but they were clearly accommodating.Quote:
