i think in generall its fun to have a paragon cap only in one season. whatever the paragon cap of 800 is way too low. you can reach this in 6 hours into the season. there have to be a grind for paragon, because this is the main essence of the game. there are many players that having fun only because of the paragon farming. i think its fine to have one season with a paragon cap at 5000 or maybe 4000. it destroys the game for many people if you cap it at 800. also i think you should nerv tal rasha meteor and trag ouls blood nova, because theyre so much stronger then everything else. divide the number by 3 and its fine.

I think the cap at 800 for one season is fine. It is relatively straightforward to reach.
As for relative power of builds, I am curious how things will play out in S29.
Relatively? Only the most casual of casuals will still have leveling to be done by the end of the first week. For a lot of people the goal will be reached the first play session of the season.

That is awesome. That means everyone will be on a relatively even footing relatie to the number of paragon points to be allocated.
The game will be more about skill and not how much main stat one gets from paragon.

The game will be more about getting lucky with mobtypes, maps, elite affixes, pylon spawns, how many keys you fish and not skill and progression.

Not to mention, you can no longer overcome the “lucky wheel” with sheer effort in terms of paragons. So you have to get lucky on item drops as well.

They should just let us buy a lottery ticket for board position. 
Bigger chance of getting an uber unique in D4. 
The game already has that element. Nothing changes in that regard. That is why players GR fish.
Exactly. And now we are forced to even more…

Paragon cap might be limited to SSF. In which case, it makes sense to have a moderately low cap like 1,600 or maybe 2,000. Even in future seasons or patches.
Anything below 1,200 is too low though.

Goodluck if you never get the perfect rift.
Hahahaha even the top players talk about that perfect rift to take them top on leaderboard. Yeah… No luck needed… LOL
Everyone on evengrounds. Luck will win.
Luck isn’t consistent.
If you’re truly better at the game, you should be able to do better over a 3+ month season with hundreds or thousands of attempts.
Having large paragon caps or no caps just means whoever has more time will win out. That’s a dumb way to pick a winner.
Everyone will not be on even ground. You play more, you get better gear. You play more you have more rolls of the dice and more likely to be lucky.
A paragon cap eliminates main stat differences. How many players are high on solo leaderboards at less than 4k paragon. Very few. Why is that? The answer is paragon. It is not about skill. Some people need that 30,000 extra main stat to be “good”. That is not skill. That is time investment.
Explain how zero paragon GR150 is done. Paragon is not all. That guy got lucky rift. He will not be able to repeat it on a less lucky rift.
I’m not. I will not play next season. I just think 800 cap is stupid. You are on leaderboard because you got open rift with 7 pack conduit into shieldpylon into powerpylon for boss. The game will be fun for 3 days. Then what? #endseason
