haha, how would you know?
Correction : You WANT to take time off for Season Start. Not HAVE too.
I agree that Blizzard should give us a Start Date and Drop Patch Notes already though
I would take time off work too

Wrong friend:
I have to take time off in order to start S19.
That is a fact.

Thinking if I was your boss, I’d give you the rest of your life off and advertise for a new hire. No one is that indespensable.

Because requesting time off to play a video game isn’t something that happens. Or if you do actually have a job, you won’t when you get back.
But im fairly certain you’re still in school. Don’t worry, this game won’t be out before you graduate, go do your homework.

The last several seasons have been:
Season ends on Sunday
Patch deploys on Tuesday
Next season starts on Friday (three days after patch).
Post-Blizzcon sickness has claimed quite a few people at the office lately, but blog coming soon…
Dear Blizzard:
Tell us exactly when Season 19 starts and tell us NOW!
I MUST:
- Finalize my divorce.
- Put my children up for adoption.
- Take my pets to the animal shelter.
- Turn in my job resignation.
- Start Season 19 the very minute it’s deployed!
(Sorry. It’s the wee-hours on Friday morning where I am and reading the OP put me in a cynical state-of-mind. 
)

There is apparently an official notification on Monday or Tuesday about what the next 2.6.7 patch changes will be for season 19. I imagine the season start time will happen either then, or be announced soon after.

What a stupid thought you have BagboyBrown.
All I do is request two days off for personal reasons.
You need to go to a therapist for your strange mind thoughts.

Imagine requesting 2 days off for “personal reasons” so you can play Diablo 3. They probably think YOU’RE at the shrink.

Perfectly fine by me, we don’t get seasons every month. This is but a quality of life enhancement 
So much anger in the forum.
Hard to imagine what came over you BagboyBrown.
Lots of people take time off from work for personal reasons from time to time.
They’re called personal because it’s my choice!

Yea, you definitely don’t have a job. “Father’s farmhand” doesn’t count.

Wow, I have a quite comfort job as a dev in a game company and usually the seasons start in not-so-busy periods of my software developing circle but I’ve never dared to take a day-off for gaming. This guy has guts or he’s a high-level manager.
