S 20 start date guesses

When do you think season 20 is going to start ?

With that amount of delay, I would be happy and It would be a miracle if it starts on the 6th, personally i doubt it will be on the 6th, my guesses are going to be on the 13th of March.

When do you think its gonna start? Do you think the start of S20 might be going further to the 20th of march ?

Right now most people (including me) are guessing the 13th of March, assuming we will have the same break between S19 and S20 as last time between S18 and S19, that is to say 12 days. But Blizzard could very well decide on a 5 day break only (which was the case between S16 and S17, and between S17 and S18). Bottom line is: both dates are possible, and nobody has a clue :slight_smile:

But we know about family monsters or whatever other useless detail on D4’s design.

I hope for the 6th. Afaik some PoE thing starts at the 13th and alot of friends of me are only starting if its on the 6th. So im hoping for that to have at least some time together.

But on the other hand, seeing how long it takes for them to make some notes on the mainpage related to S20 its probably the 13th… :frowning:

I’m thankful they are still updating an 8 year old game. Most developers would have left D3 by the wasteside years ago.

I paid for it, nn to be thankful. A big company should have a better communication on its forums.

I don’t believe anyone who pays $50 for a video game should expect a lifetime worth updates and new content to be updated every 3 months.

I think we can all agree we got our money’s worth with Diablo 3 and we’re still enjoying playing it. There are not many games I can recall which that would be true.

Blizz are still selling the game and the new sets/seasons are helping that. They also need to keep interest in the Diablo franchise while they develop D4. There are still 2 new sets (DH and Necro) to be released in S21 which will take them to September/October by which time there may be some version of D4 playable.

I think you are being quite optimistic mate… I don’t foresee a playable version of D4 before 2021 at the earliest.

Maybe some playable demo, or some other way to maintain interest. Yeah, 2021 for any kind of release.

Either 13th or even the 20th gives them time to drop patch and fix it before season.
The first season of the year seems to take longer to start.

March 6th still. Blizzard being quiet just means a very short time off period after 3/1 end of s19.

20th i feel its to far…My guess either Patch drops on the 3rd / seasons start on 6 or more likely patch drops on the 9th / seasons starts 13th which they haven’t announced season 20 start date so my guess 9th/13th…

Would be nice if the season started next week, since I want to get the seasonal journey done before FFVII releases. Doesn’t help that I’ll need to level two classes to 70 to be able to get 3 conquests done.

But I think the 13th is more likely.

13th is my call, but I’d be happy if it was the 20th, and they took care of more of the bugs/balance issues from PTR.

New content every 3 months is not very accurate. Some numbers change but new content? No.

Oh they do. …you just have to goto SOMEONE ELSES forums(reddit)…to get answers…makes sence right…backwards company thinking…

Youd think official forums means …the place they OWN the game. Sadly you get faster replys and answers elsewhere…years i have wondered who the hell thought that was good marketing let alone thinking…oh wait they dont

My guessing is…

Soon™

Blizzard Soon™… LOL Seriously though im hoping for the 13th

I’m expecting the patch on the 3rd. And then the 13th for season start. Which they have done those timelines in the past. Although most seasons start same week as patch. If we go off the bugs that were in ptr. I would be very shocked if they don’t take an extra week before releasing seaosn to hotfix some issues on the 10th.
