We dont care about ERAs Ending , Wheres 2.6.7 and S19

Just imagine explaining to your boss if the start date is this friday. You just want to play S19 when it starts but the info is coming up at a bad time.

You: Hey boss I need the weekend off for some personal time.
Boss: This weekend? Are you kidding me? Your telling me this now? Your saying I have to remake the schedule just for you? NO! Your coming in for your shifts this weekend or your fired!
You: I wanted to let you know a week ahead but…
Boss: Come in or your fired!

Imagine taking time off of work to start a season the moment of.

Eras give you a reason to push in non-season, using the accumulated power of all your paragons from previous seasons.

I don’t even remember they exist.

Thank you, could not remember which season it was, but that makes sense right. There was a brand new class to test and work out the kinks for.

No reason to go past 10 days from patch going live anymore. I think it is even rare to go past 3 days, but given two new sets, would be nice to give one more final tune before the season starts. Especially considering they are not backing off of the Barb nerf…smh

Yep, don’t care that the Era will end. Season 19 definitely will not start on the 15th. Now to wait till Tuesday the 19th to see if patch hits , because I doubt they will make an announcement.

Thanks for this, helps piece the timelines together a lot more efficiently.

End of season 12 was the first Sunday end I believe. Season 10 into 11 was the necromancer, so that makes a lot of sense. Season 13 was the first season where the seasons ended on Sundays I believe.

So what I am seeing from patch going live to season launching is 10, 10, 3,10, 3, 3 in the last 6 seasons if season 12 would have ended on a Sunday rather than Friday.

This pretty much confirms that assuming the patch goes live today, which I expect, that we will get the season either this week or next week.

I seem to recall a blog posting somewhere that they would announce the S19 start date when they put out the official 2.6.7 patch note blog.

(Edit: Well, I’m seeing things then. Patch notes are out and no info on S19.)

According to Reddit, the console versions got patched to 2.6.7 about 30 mins ago

Hmmmm consoles are updating but not P.C…seems odd.

Shifty, are you able to check if any patch notes come with the patch?

NO kidding. Most people don’t even know what the heck “eras” are.

S19, WW barbs, and grouping bug. That’s what we care about right now.

s19 will start roughly between nov.22 and dec.6 with how the sets were left when ptr went down was not good at all specially the new monk set. so with them reworking it and releasing it to live servers, they are definitely going to want more feedback on the sets…I highly doubt they are going to release their 2 new baby’s into a season where 1 is utterly useless other then forgotten souls.

Mystic, its still installing (garbage overseas internet) but I dont see any anywhere. Usually have to wait for them to post online… there are some streams up on mixer. Might be of help.

Patch 2.6.7 Now Live

https://us.diablo3.com/en/blog/23220967/patch-267-now-live-11-12-2019



Source: 2.6.7 patch live on console versions

Dude - It’s not a nerf (or a buff for that matter) if they are tweaking numbers on a change that isn’t even released yet. tweaking numbers on a PTR is just iteration.

Once they make changes to a class in a patch and release it to the live servers and then lower it’s damage or whatever, you can then call it a nerf.

You can think what you want, does not change a thing.

We all know it was a nerf.

Also, flattered you used your first post on me, disappointed that was all you could deliver! Looking forward to post #2 :slight_smile:

Not sure why it’s saying it’s my first post. It isn’t. Odd.

You completely missed the point of what I wrote. It isn’t an opinion, it isn’t what I “think.” It’s a fact.

Let me try and make this simple for you.

I’m not saying that this change doesn’t lower what Barb damage would have been before the change.

I’m not saying that this change doesn’t devalue lamentation.

I’m not saying that this change isn’t disappointing and unnecessary.

I’m saying that numbers during patch development are typically tweaked a LOT, up and down, until a patch is released. Most of these tweaks we don’t even see prior to them being released on the PTR. If there was no PTR and they released the Barb with the change they just made, you wouldn’t call it a “nerf” because you wouldn’t have known that there was a 200% multiplier that was removed during patch development.

I’m definitely arguing semantics here, but as someone who works in game development it can get annoying and it makes developers not want to show in progress changes or run PTR’s.
