But that does seem odd considering that the Ethereal weapons of Season 24 - the one we’re in now - offer a wide variety of potential game changing effects, and yet their PTR period didn’t cause Season 23 to last overlong compared to Seasons 21 and 22. When a Season has a complicated theme that requires a lot of testing or bugs come up in testing that extend the PTR, the longer the preceding Season lasts. Throughout the Seasons, one thing is (almost) certain: Season lengths vary greatly based on PTR length.

Seasons 14 and 15 both lasted 15 weeks, with Seasons 12, 14 and 17 lasting 13 weeks, and Season 14 lasting 13 weeks and Season 16 lasting 16 weeks. This puts it only a week longer than Seasons 19 and 20 and right in the middle of the pack from the lengths we saw over Seasons 12 to 17.

It may not be surprising that those Seasons lasted longer than average, but it is surprising that Season 23, which abstained from a theme and instead focused on the quality of life improvements to followers, came in a remarkably average 15 weeks and 2 days. Then there was Season 21 and Season 22, both of which had fairly elaborate Season themes that took a lot of testing time on the PTR, and both lasted a lengthy 18 weeks. It’s not clear why Season 18 ended that soon - perhaps it was due to the nature of the Power of the Triune buff - but Season 19 and Season 20 both jumped up to 14 weeks and 2 days, which made them around average length. Going from Season 12 to Season 17, we see Season lengths ranging from 13 weeks and 3 days to 16 weeks and 2 days, with Season 18 then dropping to 11 weeks and 2 days. Looking back, we can see that for the past four years Season lengths have been fairly flexible. So how does Season 24 end up comparing to previous Season lengths? Well, it’s long, no doubt about that.ĭiablo 3 Season lengths are highly variable And that means that you’d better get started if you’ve been slacking off, because that Haedrig’s Gift isn’t going to earn itself. That means that, as of this writing, we’re looking at about two weeks to get all the achievements you want from Season 24 before the end of the Season. Diablo 3 Season 24 started on July 23, and Season 24 ends on December 5.
