So. Why did Blizzard make 24 seasons in Diablo 3 with only ten character slots available to use? While we are on the topic, why did an older title have eight players available in group parties while a newer and more modern title allows less players? Is that progress or what!

| How to Obtain | Hero slots granted |
|---|---|
| Diablo 3 | 10 |
| Reaper of Souls | 2 |
| Necromancer DLC | 2 |
| ROS Digital Deluxe | 3 |
The Season Journey contains tasks that almost exclusively require content that’s only available in Reaper of Souls and, if you only have 10 hero slots available, you don’t have ROS so the seasonal content is irrelevant to you.
–==[ EDIT ]==–
A quick check of the OP’s Career Page on the Armoury reveals that not only do they have all 17 possible hero slots, 16 of them are level 70s…

I have 17 character slots. If that is not enough, which is entirely possible if you play both HC and SC, then you still have 3 Rebirths available.
You can also play the Season in all 3 Regions, which I do on 2 accounts.
I have over 70 characters.

The biggest issue is the amount of calculations. Especially things like area damage add crapton of calculations. The servers can barely cope with 4 players, any more would make gameplay unbearable.
Another, smaller issue is visual cluttering. With 4 players spamming their skills the screen can already become toocluttered to see anything.

maybe we can one more character slot exclusively for seasons only.
So instead of making progress in the game, they kind of regressed wouldn’t you say? I mean… D2 LOD had more character spots available to have. D2 LOD had eight player mode. I mean. It doesn’t make sense to me at all. 24 seasons and 17 character slots. Hmmm.
Considering how much the amount of calculations has increased, no. They haven’t regressed.
d2LOD has savefiles on your pc. you can make them and delete them copie and paste. d3 has all the savefiles on its servers so yes, its limited.
How does that have any effect on player experience? I’m not sitting here doing math when I’m playing the game. Maybe there’s math I need to do as a player while calculating gear requirements for the cookie cutter build system, but other then that I’m smashing buttons.
Living in the past are we? First you complained about your vanilla lvl 60 critical mass build being useless 8y later, and now you are still complaining about almost 10y old d3 having too little character slots and too little players in a game.

why do you need so many char slots? i have a few spare - reuse my chars every season. even if there was no such option i’d just delete them after they transfer to non-season like i do with my hc chars.
Ok let me get this straight. So they took a game that had a platform to build upon, ditched it, started on an entirely new platform from scratch that was more resource intensive requiring more calculations to have basically the same results as Diablo 2? Then they took the work load off your PC at home and threw it on the servers? So that is progress?
Chris please stop trolling, stalking me, and harassing me. This is an entirely different forum post.
lol coming from a pro troller
you can go play d2r with that attitude.
No I can’t though because the loot comes up missing which is my fault as a player apparently since the servers aren’t stable and the forums are filled with complaints about it.
they made a wardrobe for builds so you wont have to make a new char for every build possible.

Wow there’s a feature I missed. Maybe instead of complaining I should learn about all the updates. Guess I missed that one at some point. Thanks!

I realize this is probably troll but I’ll give the answer since I don’t see it here:
The number of characters you can have must be limited because stash space is limited and is sold for real money, and each character has a lot of stash space in their inventory.
Party size is 4 because that’s how they designed the game, and it’s pointless to compare it to other games, comparing to diablo 2 is like comparing it to WoW where you can play with a ton of other players, but party sizes have various limitations depending on what you’re doing.
So you then came to the D3 forums to complain about anything that came to mind!
