Hi.
So, when i understand it right, Seasons are 3 months than reset.
And after Season 30 it doesnt matter because no more stuff will be added to the game, no more Themes etc, right ?
Well, so i will skip season 29 because for a Worker with Life and Family 3 Months is to short to get the right stuff etc.
And when season 30 starts it doesnt matter anymore., correct ?
While the patch notes state that seasons will be 3 months again, it’s still unknown how long S29 will last. S28 lasted over 6 months, the longest yet.
S29 might be short considering many people have voiced their concern that after reaching the paragon cap there’s not much to do. Remains to be seen. S29 is the last one with new things to do.
Playing s29 could still be sensible. You can gather a lot of crafting mats from the visions that can be used now or kept for non season. You can earn an extra stash tab (if you haven’t already gotten the five possible) because doing the journey up to and including conqueror isn’t difficult. And thirdly, you can have a lot of fun even if you don’t invest too much time.
Incorrect.
If you are concerned that 3 months is not enough time to get some gear, your progress won’t be lost.
It will transfer to non seasonal afterwards and you can continue with your character and all the gear you collected.
Leaderboards would be out of reach, but I doubt you would consider yourself having a shot at top spots anyways, if you consider 3 months not enough time.
S30 would have a new theme, and you’d have to start there fresh again. However also after S30 you don’t Lose what you get during the season it will all roll over to non seasoval after it ends
There will be themes, just not original new themes. There will recycled themes and cosmetic rewards from past seasons. Good for players wanting to re-experience past themes or missed them entirely. Personally I missed s21 entirely and waiting for its recycling at some point.
Regarding length of seasons. 3mths as standard, can go either way depending what Blizzard metric provides them. s29 will be a lower initiative season for me as my goal will be pushing highest tier with minimalist gears if not 0 rolls at all on opening weekends. I will not be bothered with gears and will quickly en mass GR keys to dump what ever is needed for high tier clr. There isnt enough incentives for extended season grinds in s29.
I predict the altar will become the method for choosing the season theme.
This would be a great way to implement it imo
Wow.
Diablo III was released in 2012. Season 1 did not go live until 2014. Themes did not start until Season 14.
You must be relatively new to the game.
And, just for the record, Season 30 will bring back the Altar of Rites. So, that’s something. And starting with Season 31 Themes will be back. Although, they’ll be recycled previous Themes. Of course, I guess that’s not “new” stuff.
But, if you don’t want to play after Season 30…
Well… C’ya. 
I wonder how many people have played every theme. If not some recycled ones will basically be new for them.
I missed 14 and 15, but played every single one from 16 on.
As I understand it there will be no new themes but we will see old themes re-used. Like 4th cube slot, or free RoRG for everyone as a passive or sanctified powers etc.
I have played every season so far. Some more, some less. The season of Audio/Visual vomit was a definite less. Hope that one stays off the rotation list.
Yes, the seasons were very early on meant to last 3 months and still are meant so.
S28 lasted over 6 months because of reasons (possibly d4).
After a season your things carry over to non season where you can continue playing.
Even casuals can finish the season journey in a week or two. Three months is plenty of time for most including those with a life, work and family.
From s30, previous seasonal themes are reused. So we get the chance to once again enjoy a season theme we liked a lot. Not a new theme, but still fun!
So, try s29, see how far you can get despite being busy. Enjoy s30 and onwards in a similar way.
I actually miss sanctified powers and 4th cube slot. I wish one of those will be chosen for S30
And I’d take one of them over “paragon cap as season theme” any day of the week.
I feel like that 4th cube slot (the one where you can pick any of the three types, weapons, armor, jewelry) should be added permanently to the base game.
This would enable even FotH Saders to use Cpt.Crimsons again.
Seems like a good thing, I think. Don’t play crusader much.
