S25 - When is it starting?

General Discussion

Except that seasons start on a Friday, and the 25th is a Saturday.

And it will only last for 12 days.

I would actually be pleased with much shorter seasons, maybe not 12 days short, but 30 day seasons would be quite nice.

They cannot make a new season every 30 days.

They have limited resources for this old game.

But they could just reset the season after 1-2 months, so we can start the same season over again. I mean ladder reset and a fresh new start is for me a reason to play!

If that’s your idea of fun you can restart on another region.

30 day seasons wouldn’t be quite nice, because the seasonal themes would never be fun or interesting, 30 days just simply isn’t enough time to innovate and test ideas to a point where they are fun and functional. Not to mention the fact that the game generates 0 revenue for ABK and putting more resources into it makes no sense from any business standpoint (in order to meet the 30 day season quota).

Not saying it would be practical or even possible, only that it would be fun. I finish the entire season on all 3 regions within the first week.

Finishing the season journey is not “finishing season”.

Again, would it really be fun? Think about it logically, all seasonal themes would always be terrible and never be interesting or engaging. They would likely not even make you want to play the game. So would that truly be more fun in the long run? Also, if all season themes were terrible and lacked in innovation, would that actually cause you to stick around for longer than a week, or would it rather not incentivize you to play at all? Or, most likely, would nothing change for you and you’d still only play 1 week / season regardless, meaning that catering to your playstyle would just be harmful for the game?

Again, I know it’s neither practical or possible, only that I personally would enjoy a faster turn-around on seasons. Given the state of Blizzard these days it would not surprise me at all if this was the last season they do…ever. Frankly I think it’s a miracle they have kept at them as long as they have done.

35

Seasons are, by default, 3-5 months long. Anything less, and the casual section of the playerbase has no chance to complete the entirety of the season journey.

No one got my 12 days of Christmas joke? Season starts Dec 25, last 12 days… come on, that hilarious!

Would have been if the season started on the 12th or 13th. But you’re right, everybody missed the reference. There was no context. In hindsight, it was hilarious.

38

When the audience doesn’t laugh, don’t assume it’s because they didn’t understand the joke.

And it’s not even only about that. Even someone who isn’t a casual needs time. Basically anyone who has a job/busy university schedule needs time. I played 2-3 hours most weeknights and a few on Saturday/Sunday morning during season 22 and I still had room to grow, most of it was for the first two months though but that doesn’t count as casual and you still want people to feel like they got somewhere even if they have other things going on and playing solo.

The 12 days of Christmas START on December 25th.
