This is the most likely day for the blog with the way that I see Blizz doing things these days. Now they could prove me wrong by being earlier. But it really depends on when season 18 actually starts. With the changes in this patch they might gives us over a week of play time with the changes by putting season 18 start date on August 30.

My guess is 11am today if not, then tomorrow.
Possibly Friday early.
But who knows?
Blog summary: ptr short. new sets. we still hear you
That is the âDonât worry, we are still working on stuff with no timeline when you actually get the stuff, cuz we like to keep you hangingâ blog.
S18 blog is still MIA.
I personally hate doing this. It just makes me anxious all weekend. 
Sometimes we have to publish on a Friday if thatâs how the schedule works out, but I much prefer publishing during the week in case of typos that missed the editing process or if there are opportunities to discuss the blog content with the community.
Either way, itâs on its way. Just had some other things to talk about today.

âNew gameplay systemsâ?!?! Really?! This is good news if you can own up to it when time comes. I mean, I await good news on the horizon. That means major changes.

I really hope itâs this Friday the 16th. I am really hyped to see what new changes there are for S18. Really hope that the random circle spawning was changed to something more of a globe pick up or the circle at least spawns under your character.

Donât want to pester or anything but you have to take into account that a significant portion of players are also on the wow classic train hype. That being said the sooner the season start date is announced the better.

Whether your personal journey with Diablo III began today or nearly seven years ago upon our launch
Diablo III was released to live on 15th May 2012, i.e. seven years and three months ago, so the ânearly seven years agoâ isnât right. I guess this got past the editing process.
Thatâs a little nitpickyâŚ

It suggests either it wasnât checked, or the blog was written over three months ago (when the statement would have been correct) and only just published. Either way, this is why Nev said she prefers publishing in the week. If sheâs concerned enough about spelling mistakes being fixed, surely sheâd like the blog to actually get the age of the game right.
Might be nitpicky, or it just tells you for how long they have been working on this writeup forâŚ
I donât want to come across as overly cynical in light of what might actually be as good news as we can hope for, but what they said is: â⌠occasional gameplay system updates are also within scope.â The way I read that is not that an entirely new gameplay system is coming but rather that tweaking things, if necessary, is not entirely out of question.
That said, looking forward to seeing the new sets and dozens of legendaries. That should give us something to play around with!

I think he has no offense in pointing out the error 
Thanks for the update, hope to get it soon.
7.25 years ago is nearly seven years ago. It is a 3.45% error from being exact which most people would consider ânearlyâ.

Whether mixing up where the most rewarding gameplay livesâŚ

Woot! Campaign Mode 2.0!!

No, because in the context that itâs being used, nearly means almost, not approximately. If something cost $7 and you had nearly $7 in your pocket, that would mean you couldnât buy it.
