Story Progress gone

my entire Story Progress is gone. I even got the AV that I killed Malthael but I cant start the Adventure mode.

If you delete or Rebirth the non-Season Character that completed Campaign Mode, your Progression gets reset. I learned this the hard way a few years ago.

Now, I have a “placeholder” non-Season Character that has completed Campaign Mode (Normal and Hardcore) that I never delete or Rebirth. And, I have a main Character (Normal and Hardcore) that I Rebirth every Season.

Since I play Seasons on all 3 Regions, I’ve done this on Americas, Europe and Asia Regions.

Between Seasons, I strip my mains, to get them ready for the next Rebirth. I pass the time by playing my “placeholder” Characters in non-Season until the new Season starts.
Good luck and good hunting!

I do not hide from my enemies.
I do not run from my foes.
I seek them out; I hunt them down;
and then they’re quickly disposed.

So I have to clear the Story again ? I mean, I never deleted my “Main” I played most time on when seasons werent even a thing back then :smiley:

If non-Season Adventure Mode is locked for you then, yes.

If you have a friend that has completed non-Season Campaign you can get them to start a game in Act V for the last Quest. Have them invite you and both of you kill Malthael. That’s the easiest, quickest way to unlock non-Season Adventure Mode. And it can be done on Normal Difficulty.

You could also ask someone in Chat to help you get the Malthael Quest.

Note: In Seasons, Adventure Mode is always unlocked. But, it does not carry over to non-Season when the Season ends. (That’s why I keep “placeholder” Characters that have completed Campaign Mode in non-Season).

Personally, I wish Blizzard would have a permanent global flag (or Achievement) that marks Campaign Mode completion and prevents Progression reset in non-Season. As it is, it’s a waste of 2 Character Slots (Normal and Hardcore) per Region.
