Blizzard has announced the ending date for Season 19.
EDIT for corrected date. Season is confirmed to be ending March 1st.
In other news, there is a new PTR patch today too. Notes will be up soon.
Edit and Notes are UP! Patch 2.6.8 PTR Has Ended - Diablo III
See the red text for PTR changes between builds.
Thanks, I just saw that on twitter too.
Is it clear whether the damage reduction, now 60%, when you enter the Spirit Realm persists after you leave it?
I like the updates to the PTR. Just wish they had a dedicated Hydra off-hand, and wish they added some buffs to DH and Crusader-BS legendaries. Bit stale.
Can still hope they sneak something in the season patch, but we still should be amply entertained.
Thanks! A little weird to see you instead of Nev posting it though.
Apparently there was a miscommunication, it’s actually ending March 1st. Update from Nevalistis on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/f3x3pf/s19_ending_next_week/fhm8yuq
Yep, was just coming here to reiterate this.
We had a miscommunication. The Season ends on March 1st, not February 23. As always, we want to make sure you all have a two-week notice in advance of the Season end so you have time to wrap up any last Season Journey or Leaderboard pushes.
Apologies for the confusion, we’re fixing this communication now.
Thanks for the update! I shall edit my post with that.
Oh, there was a new season?
I wonder for what purpose we have a forum here when important information gets posted on twitter and reddit first.
It’s also in the launcher. I’ve been handling PTR patch stuff all morning. I’ll add a sticky shortly to the top of the page here.
Just a lot to juggle today. <3 Apologies for the lack of prompt-ness.
Edit: Post is up now.
The main purpose of the forums, from Blizzard’s point of view, is for players to discuss the games with other players. It has never been their main means of distributing news.
Looks like Nev is going to get a post up, so all is well.
OK, the season ends only 1 week after the estimated time. I wasn’t far off with my estimates.
And what is this post 
North America: Friday, March 3 @ 5:00 PM PST
Europe: Friday, March 3 @ 5:00 PM CEST
Asia: Friday, March 3 @ 5:00 PM KST
Somone is over worked
3rd of March is Tusday and season ends at 1st of March
SHHH YOU SAW NOTHING
hands Nev some tea and a large snack
Seems someone needs a Weekend 
It’s hard to get everything done and grind to max level in Wolcen at the same time 
I know it’s hard to believe but some of us don’t use Twitter or Reddit. I personally have more use for old fence posts, dandelions and dead flies. Same thing goes for Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, etc…
Does that mean automatically that season 20 starts on 6 March?
