Patch 2.3 is scheduled to go live on November 13th. The Public test realms are live with the new patch currently, you can copy your toon over to take a look. The new season is going to be released 1 week after patch 2.3. Blizzard has announced that the dates aren’t set in stone but they are “pretty sure…” it will be released on time. Season 3 and the patch are separated by 1 week to help the blizzard team focus on one thing at a time, there are bound to be bugs that will need everyones attention for at least a week. The older season 2 items are going to be reduced in price to the same as season 1 currently is. While season 1 is going to be removed from the arena system and placed into the regular Battleground gameplay.
With the coming of the new season all arena teams will have their rank reset to 1,500 and titled players will have their titles usurped. The new personal rating stat is going to be exactly the same as team rating except it’s only going to include games that you attended, not the entire team. Blizzard has left a post here for those looking to read more.
