Is there anyway to download it? When I supported this game and team I think it was under a different name. I would love to test it and see how far the game has come.

Welcome back @ThePompousPeasant ! Head over to your my account page and you should be able to access the patcher which will allow you to download the latest client. We test every Wednesday night at 8pm CST. Feel free to join us in discord as well.
Sorry for the hijack, but you guys have Discord?
I, too, apologize for hijacking the thread...
Come on Kaerwin, you know very well that I'm not american, and yet, I'm very guilty of using the CT / CET format
(CT because we based in Austin officially, even though pratically we are over 3 continents). (Weirdly enough I found the other one to be more even more confusing....but that's just me.)You are in the US ecosystem, though. Possibly even have a sleep schedule to reflect that. It's a unique privilege in a way. It's in fact the whole reason I don't play test this, or most games. Opening servers at 2 am on a week day is not feasible for me. In regards to timezones. I always have to use a converter UTC is a lot easier generally.Come on Kaerwin, you know very well that I'm not american, and yet, I'm very guilty of using the CT / CET format
I mean you’d need to know the time difference once, same hours every week. Not a very difficult thing. The devs have to run the server at times that is easiest for the majority of the team.
Wednesday tests run roughly 4hrs, so midnight Central.
Central what? Central European, Central African, Central Indonesian, Central Australian, or maybe Central American? Or you could say 0600 UTC, and then we won't have to guess.
As mentioned in the weekly patch notes 8pm Central US time. And before you ask, the patch notes also show 1am UTC.
8pm Central US would be 0100 UTC only during your summer; it's 0200 UTC during your winter. Or have I got it wrong, thus proving my point that having to juggle other people's time offsets is a PITA.
For one week during the time change yes, things can get a little goofy. However, there are many websites that will do the translation of timezones for you, not to mention we are very active in the discord alpha channel with our backers keeping them up to date on server status.
From where I'm sitting, this looks like you can't be bothered to conform to the rest of the world, instead expecting the rest of the world to conform to you. Frankly, that's just arrogant, and it's an attitude that appears (to a non-American) to be quite prevalent among Americans. America would probably have more friends in the world if it thought of itself as a citizen of the world rather than as the world.
Or perhaps the bottom line is that your customers operate out of (potentially) every time zone in the world. Do you want them to feel that you're making an effort to include them, or to feel that they're being punished for not living in the US?
Take a couple minutes and set a reminder in your calendar for the time it’ll go live. I don’t live in California and Blizzard always goes off that time zone. I’m not gonna call them lazy or dumb because they don’t list my time zone I live in. Almost every game goes off where the dev team is based from. I mean once you do the math one time on the time zone. Your good forever. Except the one day every 6 months where in the US the times change.
Likewise from my end!
From my perspective, it appears as though you cannot be bothered to google "8pm CST to <insert your timezone of choice>". You just said "having to juggle other people's time offsets is a PITA" which is exactly what you are asking me to do. UTC is not our company's operating timezone, we do not think, nor do we operate in UTC time - which means any time I post a time, there's a pretty good chance it's going to be CST as stated earlier in this thread.
Again, patch notes every week include UTC times in addition to our normal CST times.
Stormhaven Studio is composed of 50% of Americans and 50% of non americans. We work from 3 differents continents and from 5 differents timezones. So that comment is a tiny little bit unfair.
