Honestly I’m a tad surprised that they hadn’t activated some mid-season event yet.
They probably thought everyone would be playing D2R for a bit longer and not need a D3 season as fast.
I suspect there won’t be any PTR considerations until the buzz dies down from D2. All the Big D3 streamers are on D2 R making Blizzard free money ATM. I, however am still enjoying PoE.
PoE is exciting from a distance but just so busy and chaotic when you try it.
I love it, because I can never be bored with it. It’s so much endless learning and they change so much so often there’s always new things going on.
I found it to be content bloat, with too many ways to add to items, and also very hard to discern which items I found had any value.
I might try again if S25 is not fun. I will use a Slayer instead of a Berzerker to not die so much.
Give it another 4 weeks
You lost.
be surprised
Next week… double or nothing!
Prediction is that Season 24 ends near October 17, so with a 2 week PTR/delay, that means skipping the awesome of Halloween, and getting the next season on or near Nov 5/12.
I’d be sad if that happened.
Don’t we get a two weeks heads-up that the Season is ending? And a PTR lead time of 30 days plus based off the last half dozen seasons? Based off both those, Season 24 is going to run through October and into November.
My pick is it doesn’t end until early/mid November (14th?), which makes Season 25 due around the 19th.
Nothing Till November at the earliest. They got to ride the D2:R gravy train for a while first.
I am starting to hate Blizz.
At this point, ‘gravy train’ might be a little inaccurate. Seems like D2R is having a lot of problems. If you were part of Blizzard’s management team, would you assign people to fix a new game you want to sell, or to work on an old game to add a season for which we pay…nothing?
I hope S24 runs for awhile more. I started a new seasonal character just yesterday, on my new Switch console.
Unless we get notes later today a PTR for this week is seeming very unlikely. So at least one more week. Although didn’t this season start in July? Are we to the point of 6 month seasons with 2 themes a year.
You would do both if you value your customers and ultimately want to prevent disappointed players on both versions.
I bought 2 copies of D2R to support the franchise, I prefer playing D3 daily. So… D3 patch soon?
By tomorrow S24 has lasted 12 weeks. So we are going to have a ~4 month season at minimum. I’m hoping we’ll get the PTR notes soon. Otherwise S24 is going to be streched to unnecessary lengths.
You can see season lengths here:

Season 1: 159 days for example.
Most likely notes this thursday/friday or next week.
To be fair, the post was a week ago before they totally shat the bed.
