Wasn’t Ethereals originally 24?
Yes. Typo. Sorry. Edited OP.
I can’t remember where, but I read that Blizz will chose the 6 best seasons and rotate them. Anyone know if that is true, or will there be more than 6?
Keep an eye on the OP. (That’s why I created it). We should know more in about 21 months or less. 
To my knowledge, Blizz never officially said how many themes will be rotated in seasons.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if it will be 4-6 different themes only.
Thats likely because some are a bit lackluster. I thought… I read something about possibly combining a couple seasons. That would be sweet. Crucibles and ethereals…
Then we should know in 12 to 18 months.
I believe that was other players’ wishful thinking.
Only time will tell. (I doubt Blizzard will).
Considering Altar and Fissures in the end didn’t make it to NS (yes, I understood that it will be part of NS, as well) we kinda have every season a combination of 3 themes, however 2 season themes (yes Altar got nerfed - I actually wouldn’t oppose theme of “original” Altar as a variant) are now core part of seasons.
It’s Shades of the Nephalem for Season 33.
Maybe!
The PTR will have that theme.
In the article it says:
Please note that this is a preview for PTR content, which is subject to change. As this is a test server, please anticipate uneven game performance, and note that restarts and downtime may occur without warning. Thank you, and we look forward to your feedback!
Not sure what to make out of the very first sentence does it refer to the theme or the temporary PTR character?
On the other hand why include a theme only to change it for the live version.
And it’s the Theme in the Patch Notes that has always gone Live when the Season starts. The updates for Mac will go Live when Patch 2.7.8 is deployed.
The Shades of Nephalem season theme will also be available to play during the PTR.
Edit: The operative phrase being: “will also be available”. Meaning it will be in the PTR and Season 33.
Cheers Perusoe, so basically I misinterpreted the phrase I quoted!
What you quoted was the generic disclaimer Blizzard posts in EVERY Patch Notes Blog. It just means that what is listed in the Patch Notes may change by the time the Patch goes Live.
In other words, if bugs are found during the PTR, including performance issues, changes may be made to correct this. Most of the time Blizzard will update the Patch Notes to indicate the changes. (Old information will be struck out and the new information will be in red text).
It is unlikely they will include a Theme in the PTR and change it to a different Theme when the new Season goes Live.
The OP has been updated for Season 34.
(That’s 5 Seasons rotated so far).
Guess we’re through now. The only thing left would be Unnerfed Altar season.
Not sure. Some players predicted 6 Themes being recycled. So, we’ll see.
I don’t know if I’ll keep this thread updated once Blizzard loops the recycled Themes. I don’t really see the point. The only reason I might continue updating is if Blizzard changes the order in which they’re rotated.
In any event, I’ll continue to update the D3 Patch Notes & Themes Wiki for as long as I can.
Cheers!
Well, they still have some they might throw in the rotation:
paragon cap with unrestricted allocation
massacre bonus theme
audio/visual vomit theme
One’s we probably won’t see:
free RORG
free LON
double bounties (in the Altar)
double goblins (irrelevant with Visions)
Triune circles (in the Altar but nerfed)
full Altar (since the game already has its nerfed version)
Personally i would like to see the Trials of Tempests theme because thats the only one cool season theme i skipped sadly…
Absolutely no idea why players dislike it so much, it doesn’t look bad on the videos…
And when playing you can’t see anything anyway so really, i have absolutely no idea what is your (players in general) issue with it.
You can always disable game sounds… its all vomit anyway… no idea what your problem is…
Ofc there can’t be ““unnerfed altar”” because that would require balance patch, and we are not going to have that.
Massacre bonus is boring just like other most overpowered seasons and that season specifically favors people playing with a discord and thats not how players play this game nowdays… not waiting for that one but yeah i guess that theme might happen in future. Its going to be terribly annoying though
Yeah. Recycling these would be kind of redundant.
I can actually see these being recycled. After all, Blizzard just gave us the 4th Cube Slot and Clones.
Of course, we won’t know what Blizzard ends up doing until Season 35 and 36.
