Season ending with short notice?

Yeah, I got most of mine unlocked already. Now I have to do the stupid sets to get the tomes for a seal. Ugh. I forgot about that one, been salvaging gear pieces. LOL

Yeah, I appreciate somebody showing me something more than lamenting about peoples sheets being higher than they should be when being inspected. That part was guaranteed to happen if anybody had combined paragon and not changed anything.
I wasnā€™t ever trolling I just knew for a fact that my main stat from paragon was completely gone without playing any after and it was hard to believe that it comes back after gaining 1 paragon and had seen no in game evidence otherwise showing the paragon had been of actual benefit. It was always a hero inspect of my friend or some guy I know that wasnt live information

Wonder why his stats are closer to normal?
Edit: Maybe it has something to do with being solo mode.

As for me there is no point to return ruined season. Iā€™ve already cleaned all the mails from the season. In the season now you have almost nothing. Better to end it and start new season. Or precise info how long will be that season at least.
Anyway thanks team for communication.

Because I donā€™t dedicate a ton of time to the game every season. Most seasons since seasons began I never get over 800 Paragon, let along get past 1000. This was probably the 3rd or 4th season I have done that.

Even as I type this, Iā€™m nearly back to 800 again. So the negative numbers have shrunk a ton since that video.

I do use solo mode, so I donā€™t do any group farming for experience. That does slow it down naturally.

I do know that the early end of season 33 gave me about 92 paragon points (1175 + the around 2300 something I had in non-season) rolled into my non-season paragon. If I can manage to get to 1175 or higher before the season ends again, that would add probably another 85-90 paragon additionally to the non-season paragon. lol

Also you said you did not log in before they restored the season, so I suppose you did not add your non season points to the main stat of your character. Probably you did not ā€œbenefitā€ from the glitch, since you said you are only at -1175, which matches your previous S33 paragon.

I added the non seasonal points during the downtime when I cleaned up the mail and then started at around -2500 after the reboot, which is my total non seasonal paragon. Therefore, the mismatch is more severe in my case. And now imagine the people who added like 10+k paragon from non season. This clearly messes up the leaderboards (although I guess the integrity of these wasnā€™t that high anyways due to bots).

Oh yeah, it did add up to the -1175 so even though he got on the game, he just didnt combine and that kept him from getting the extra from nonseason makes sense. The behavior of it all is just strange. Getting more than 1 paragon upon your first level if you had combined, but not if you hadnā€™t combined.

Imagine if this were literally any other entertainment medium whatsoever.

ā€œLook, the NFL had an internal communications mishap and weā€™re starting Playoffs two weeks early. But donā€™t worry, SOME of you can still play regular season because we didnā€™t fully convert EVERY region to post!ā€

Yea, Iā€™m sure that would go over perfectly wellā€¦ :roll_eyes:

"Look, GRRM had an internal communications mishap with his publisher and his next book is only available in Persia. Weā€™ll keep you posted as new information arises :sweat_smile: "

Yea, great for Persians, ngl they probably need some Wā€™s every once in a while just like everyone else, but come on, you know?

ā€œHey guys, we had an internal communications issue between our development teams and only SOME of you are going to get access the next Taylor Swift album. It really depends on whether you downloaded Spotify LAST week, or THIS week. But donā€™t worry, weā€™ll sort it all out Soonā„¢ā€

Uh-huh.

Ok, I think we are done here.
Next we will hear from Blizzard is the scripted ā€œSeason ending / restartingā€ message and then they will just roll over the season again.

Any update on console players in the US? Are we just SOL until the new season starts?

I unlocked the altar again, Iā€™m tired. I hope S33 can be extended.

Yes, I guess you are stuck in this state now, till the new season starts.

Just in case itā€™s been missed, I just sent a report on the console situation to Bliz.

Not to say my report will change anything, just saying that it may help if theyā€™ve missed it somehow.

FaceBones,

When you have a chance, can you try making a seasonal char again?

Any updates already?
Are you going to hotfix the negative paragon exploit? All it takes is just force reset all paragons for everyone.
Not wipe paragon, just reset.
Wipe for blatant cheaters would be nicer though.
Helloooooooooo

I understand your frustration, but there are many checks that have to be performed. Players want a step by step explanation based on the issues that arise, and, as a multibillion dollar company, itā€™s difficult to do that. Patience is key at this point.

Now, we may get an update tomorrow by end of business. The solution may still take another week or more to figure out. By that time, the season will be ending in roughly two or three weeks. For now, the more you play, the better chance for the techs to figure out what went wrong and how to fix and prevent it from occurring again.

You make it sound soooo easy.

So lets punish all the good players to get a few bad apples.

Glad you arenā€™t in charge. Iā€™m closing in on earning back the points I lost, Iā€™m not about to have all that progress erased because a few players are a bit butthurt over the leaderboards that frankly most of us donā€™t even care about.

Negative point exploit. HA.

Not even that really. Its an end of season blip exploit, if anything. It has nothing to do with the negative numbers, but rather the allocation of points from non-season to the seasonal hero. And its Blizzardā€™s fault.

I still say if they feel inclined, they can ban the worst offenders that are obviously abusing it and leave it at that.

Sometimes I wish I had not started this thread. Season might have remained ended.
Sigh.
Nah, others would have done it. I was just the first here to notice because I was playing in Asia at the time.

Pretty sure that guy just meant, unallocate all the pointsā€¦not steal them again

Yeaa ā€¦ Do you ignore what i mean on purpose or just cant understand ā€¦ Reset button in paragon menuā€¦ Force that for all players .

You didnt loose anything, you wanted to exploit, and you didnt rollback.
Im not even sure how it works because i could have abused that too, but i deleted my seasonal characters after 5pm on sundayā€¦ So i needed a rollback. Didnt even got a chance to see if you are ā€œtechnically correctā€ to say you REALLY had ā€œā€œnegative paragonā€ā€.
Because all i see is having extra stats on players

Anyway pez left and not coming backā€¦ like when my father went shopping for milk
