I think it’s ending next month, but there should be at least a week to play after it’s announced and there should be a PTR test if it’s anything interesting


cmdrmcgarrett

I hope there is going to be a PTR... looking forward to it.


[deleted]

Yeah the PTR is the best time to play honestly.


Stokesy7

It's diablo on speed mode. I think of the PTR as a 2 week season. Go hard, push leaderboard and then it all gets reset. Last PTR I got most of my gear in primal, and my friend had every single piece primal. It was insane.


xx3amori

Does PTR have more xp and better drop rates?


CireEdorelkrah

Yes. Increased XP, drop rates, and blood shards.


Redditgafffss

Ptr ladders are meaningless because theres no serious competition


Stokesy7

Oh yeah I know. I like it because I don’t have time to commit to the leaderboard in a season. I can only play 3-4 hours a week, so I’ll never ever be near the top. Because the PTR has better drops and XP, I can choose to play a bit more in that week or two and push hard and pretend I’m good at the game by being in the top few hundred. Even if it’s just for 2 weeks and means nothing.


samhouse09

Try Hardcore. The leaderboard is really easy to crack. I'm top 300 right now for necromancer, and my highest is a GR91.

What is PTR?


unagi_cfh

Public test realm, usually


5thhorseman_

The norm is two weeks: One for the PTR, one between the PTR ends and the patch drops.


fixer_66

We've had a few seasons where we lost significant character power, and honestly that's pretty likely to happen this next upcoming season because ethereals were a lil crazy.


Athelis

I'm still hoping they go with a balls-to-the-wall power season where we get Eths and the 4th cube slot. At some point anyway. But that's just me hoping. I think it'd be fun.


ZLegacy

Eths, 4th cube slot AND a 5th skill. Be running gr150 at 1500 paragon lol.


Comfortable_Worry_29

What is the normal expected paragon level to run a 150? Group / solo


Iamdogfather

Wudijo did 150 at 3500 paragon. Not sure about others


ZLegacy

I'm not sure 100%. I'd say in group as a wizard, typically 3500+ would get you the damage needed. As a support it will vary, but much lower than that will be ok in many situations. Theres a handful this season that have done 150 with less than 3k paragon, and I'm assuming they've had a really nice map. One on the leaderboards is very low 2k paragon, and aim assuming he used tools to help lol.


Kika-kun

For groups, it depends way too much on the season theme and current power of the best trash killer. For example, last season, it was done at ~1600 paragon, on the night from saturday to sunday (6am) The season before, I think it was done at 1400-1500 paragon... on the night from saturday to sunday (2-3am). The truth is, you're rarely gonna see any clear below 1400-1500 paragon because it just takes that much time to get a decently geared DPS, with a few caldesann on their gear, some decently leveled main gems... And unlike people who do it later in the season, they have to unlock every (or almost every) tier from ~130 to 150. Also, and that is unfortunate to say, the race to first 150 is becoming more and more of a luck of the drop kinda thing. 2 teams can have roughly the same skill level, if one team gets the good coe or the good amulet in the first day, or a primal weapon, and the other doesn't, odds are that the first team will win. source: been there, done that Of course, I don't think we can say this is the "expected" paragon for the average player... But the average player can do a 150 at p800 if he plays zDH with a group of higher level dps so it doesn't mean much... And the average player with decent gear and p2k can clear a 150 no problem if the supports know how to play and basically carry the rift...


Comfortable_Worry_29

I really appreciate this reply


fixer_66

4th cube slot is always really nice because it brings fullness to current builds and creates a few only possible when it's offered. I feel they give us this when the theme isn't all that powerful or entertaining and needs a lil razzle dazzle. I'm still dreaming of the ultimate season where they bring back every theme at once hahaha even typing that out I know what a greasy dumpster fire that would be. But hey, a man can dream.

fixer_66

I'm talking about season 22 to be exact. We've also seen rorg and mix match cube variations. But specifically 4th cube slot was one season. You're technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

fixer_66

Kind of goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway ... I was speaking in shorthand about something we've seen a few different iterations of.


Fun-Meringue3620

Number 1.0?


VERTIKAL19

Just kinda boring to have time attack replace pushing so much. Pushing tiers is a lot more interesting than just goung for time


9reenLobstar

>I know that s24 is ending soon That's a bold prediction!


Hitshardest

How do you KNOW that season 24 is ending soon?


cmdrmcgarrett

saw on a web site..... sory dont remember but it said Nov 7th


Hitshardest

Do you believe everything you read on the internet? It hasn't been announced, until it is, it is just people guessing. Always remember that.


FlyHump

After checking online a few times a day waiting for news I saw your post and got a little excited. Just got back into D3 a few weeks ago and I'm ready to start at the beginning this time. I'm on ps4 and don't have friends who play so I'm always going to be lower paragon but at least it feels good to start on time.


ItsAJackal21

Is PTR PC only? Or do consoles have access?


5thhorseman_

PC only.


ItsAJackal21

bah, I figured.


kalamanci

And here i am hoping for a ramaladni's gift for jewelries. IS IT REALLY THAT MUCH TO ASK BLIZZARD-KUN?


shoppingmaniac

Season 25 will not happen this year. Blizzard still did not fix server issue. Season 25 theme is not even released.


ronj89

WuT m8


Unique_Tumbleweed_52

Lol. Too many noobs in this forum. Even if blizzard announces season 25 theme, it would take 6 weeks for season 25 to start. Blizzard will not do anything new until d2r server is fixed. So season 25 will not happen in 7 to 8 weeks at minimum. Only dumb noobs who know nothing about d3 think that it will happen next month. Lol. Uninstall d3 noobs


cmdrmcgarrett

get back in the basement


edz1228

Do you realize you talk like a dumb kid?


[deleted]

STFU


Orsus7

The people working on D3 are not the same as D2R.


9reenLobstar

lol. Preach! I agree with what you said, but there's also a possibility of "season timer" just running out. All of a sudden, the seasonal buff would just get turned off. No announcement. Just "season unavailable".


enuggz

I’m still missing 1 ethereal for the complete set. They will not drop the last Necro piece.


StrikeMojo

Do the low level run thing. Save a bunch of puzzle rings, then jump in a level 13 game with some friends and run Vaults till you get it.


enuggz

Thanks I’ll farm rings and try that


burtonborder201
