so when will the public test patch hit the normal game?

No one knows. I think the devs said in an interview think it was rock paper shotgun. That they are trying for before Christmas. Depends how the public test goes.

On facebook they said they expect testing to last about 1 or 2 weeks. But it depends on how many bugs they find, so they can't give a definite answer.
