Love the formatting. 
Either way, the way I read it, I think they refer to the usual seasonal patches as big patches. So I don’t read this as next season patch is going to be any bigger than the usual season patches. I hope I’m wrong, but not how I read it. 
They just said next season, not coming soon. If Season 25 follows the previous seasons, we’re looking at the current season ending on the 24th of April, with the PTR being about 6 weeks away. At the very best, it would start at the beginning of April, but the days of < 100 day seasons are over.
thanks for sharing @Avalon!
I just hope we get a preview for this patch soon. They already did sneakily unpin patch 2.7.2 feedback threads in the PTR sections recently which could indicate the next PTR isn’t that far away.
Still secretly hoping for a new class, but know that is just a dream.
This is the only thing that make this patch BIG!
Yeah, a big balancing patch that helps about 3 or more builds for about 3 or more classes, would be what I’d consider a “big patch”.
It’s going to be the usual next seson patch, with the big Inna nerf.
Or an existing feature that revamped completely permanently like D3 follower feature.
One seasonal theme + few item and skill update isn’t something I will call it “big patch”.
I won’t went that far but I also secretly hoping, I mean dreaming for paragon revamp and uber content revamp.
If we’re at what hopes we have, I’m hopeing of a follower expansion. Meaning more items can be used on them, maybe follower only sets, enhanceing their support status. Maybe the ability to send them to do Bounties in different acts for us, while we’re in one of the acts doing the same. Only in single player ofcourse. But something interesting would be nice.
I think it would be a really good idea to make it a big patch. Unless they want to keep giving us these super strong season themes.
Some people are going to be upset about not having these massive buffs and bunch of balance changes will help soften the blow.
So those not all that hard extra 0’s to certain bad sets and maybe some more emanating items.
At this point into the game’s life, I wonder what this big would entail.
Still, for some reason this feels like the longest season of ever, even though it’s barely 2 months only.
Definitely looking forward to the PTR to see what they’ll be doing in the next patch.
Misleading topic title… clickbait 
Very True.
Honestly, if we ever get any of the following:
Then that’d be nice imo.
The last time “big patch” was used, we got loot 2.0, torments and a whole bunch of new legendary items.
They didn’t use that term for the updates that contained primals, the necromancer, new sets, or the follower rework.
I’m don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m genuinely curious and a little excited to find out.
I don’t want a big patch. They take too long to download and install.
If I were still using an ultrafast network, that’d be fine but I’m limited now by what’s readily available.
Hoping we get some PTR info in the coming weeks
Can we get some word on this big patch, CM’s
No. When did they do such a thing? They hint something, and leave us in suspense for weeks.
Unfortunately if S25 is going to last similarily long as the previous seasons, I wouldn’t expect any info until mid to late March, that would be the time to expect the next PTR. S24 lasted a whopping 19 weeks and 2 days, at the same length S25 would end on April 24th. I really do hope S25 will end sooner, the seasons have gotten way too long.
As for the the “size” of the next patch, it is very possible people are reading into this one statement made by a CM too much. While the 10 year anniversary of D3 is coming and me and everyone else would like something special for the next patch due to this, don’t get your hopes and expectations up.
