The only reason to play Eternal if any is when a game enters maintenance mode. (No further seasons and updates will be made). And you lose the incentive to repeat previous content. Until then Season is the interesting part because content and different things are coming. Of course the requirement to like the game in the first place still stands.
Seasons aren’t motivating you to play if you don’t like the game in the first place. Many people get into this trap.
But if you have hopes or interested surely seasons are the place.
It has everything less the current seasonal mechanic, so it’s best for when you just want to hang out and experiment with new gear and builds you haven’t tested or when you want to get your eternal chars more maxed out. I always keep a full stable of maxed characters for the purpose of experimentation or when I just want to be strong already instead of messing with my character that I’m trying to get back to that point in season.
I’d say that right now it doesn’t do as much for you to play an eternal realm character because the game just came out and most people don’t even have more than one or two classes at endgame, but in a year or two it’ll make a lot more sense to switch between seasonal and eternal depending on what you want to do.
lol all these casual new arpg kids on the diablo 4 forums. look at poe every time a season drops, poe would literally be a completely dead game if there was no seasons, one the best things of an arpg is starting a new seasonal character at level 1 with everyone else and racing/competing on ladder, and sorry to say but seasons aren’t going anywhere in the arpg genre
In fully finished games, typically there is this thing called “end game content” that can keep you busy and thrilled to play because it is new, rewarding, and also challenging at times.
This is absolutely false. Blizzard posted that only 6% of the player base played non season in D3. It was also super obvious to the players as seeing people in chat without the little green leaf was very uncommon. Your statement is so far off base, can’t believe you actually think that’s accurate.
Eternal is the place where seasonal toons go to retire and exists purely as a way to give players the choice of whether or not to delete their toons before they move on to the next season.
Can we have the season content added to eternal after the seasons? It will be some motivation and if the things are blown away after the seasons, will be a good add
“casual” doesn’t have anything to do with difficulty in that regard
i meant purely in term of time spent in playing.
if you only play 1h a week for example or something
if you can afford playing enough to finish battlepass and every seasonal things by the time alloted between the beggining of the season and it’s end : play season
if you can’t : play eternal.
playing casually =/= being noob
it mean simply not being able or not wanting to play a lot.
