Will there be a new 'season' as soon as 2.1 goes live?
Or will our progress so far remain as the current season until the next season?
By "our progress so far" i mean the characters i've been playing on since the game was launched, on the current live patch. Not the PTR.
Im pretty sure i'm not the first person to ask, but i couldn't find anything about it.
It's not a "season" unless you start from scratch. Also, nothing from the PTR ever goes across to live.
So.. easy answer. No seasons have started yet, so you will have to start new. Not sure what "progress so far" you are referring to, there hasn't even been a first season to progress in yet.
I might not have been as clear as i hoped to.
I'm fully aware that the PTR progress won't be transferred over to live.
Let me put it this way; When 2.1 goes live, i want to play in seasons, not non-season. Will there be a new season as soon as 2.1 goes live, or should i keep farming mats on live because the first season reset won't happen before after a certain amount of time?

The idea of a season is that you start from scratch. Your current character cannot possibly be a part of any season. When 2.1 goes live, the first season starts, and for that you have to create a new character. There will be a checkbox "season" when you create a new character in 2.1.

Thank you! I was thinking it had to be this way. I've seen several youtuber encouraging farming mats and such for the new patch, which is what got me confusedm, but i guess that only aplies for those who aren't going to play in season at launch.

I see. Yea, a season is a limited-time thing. What you're playing now is "non-season". Only "non-season" chars will exist over any long length of time, all seasons go away after their set time, and those characters will roll over into "non-season" at the end of a given season.
Also, I think the reason people are farming mats etc. is because they see no reason to "compete" in a season. For someone like me, the advantages of season play are so minimal, I can't see myself doing it. I'd restart in non-season hardcore before I'd create a season character.
