I do NOT want to restart the game!

PC General Discussion

so dont restart the game?

this doesnt seem like rocket science, just play the character you already leveled up and invested time into it.

62

Seasonal content always rolls into non-seasonal afterwards though.
If you donā€™t want to remake your toon then instead just wait a few months and youā€™ll also get the content. Itā€™s not like the content never exists for non-seasonal players.

I get being a little frustrated having to waitā€¦ but if you donā€™t have the time to play the game again and build up a new toon then you probably donā€™t have enough time to care that you have to wait a bit no?

63

You can actually look at the likes for a small cross-section sample of the community at large. :+1:

64

You waited 19 days to reply back with basically a ā€œno youā€. Thatā€™s some commitment.

65

Actually Iā€™m a family man and give you only a microscopic mote of attention, farewell!

66

Well wherever you go I hope you continue to only speak for yourself.

67

Who appointed you to speaker of the house? What majority? Is anyone forcing you to play seasons?

This is not an MMO to expand the game. And even WoW has now Seasons.

I want seasons. I like them. Bring it on. You donā€™t speak for me and certainly not for the majority

because in the current game after you hit 100 theres nothing to do. PvP is boring because the fields of hatred are laggy as Shlt and thereā€™s no rewards achievements or ranking / leaderboards. Itā€™s an unfinished game, best bet is to just play casually until they come out with the expansion in a year or so with replayable content.

And your opinion is wrong.

The success of Diablo is built on seasons. Season 1 may be lack luster, but we have already kind of realized on the outset the dev team working on D4 is far smaller than it should be. Hopefully they hire more staff and get out of development hell.

Donā€™t.

Because without somehow polling all the players ā€¦ you donā€™t.

As I said, look at the likes for my comment and look at the likes for the top counter argument. Quick and easy sample of the community perception.

SOā€¦ it would seem from this sample that slightly over half of the players do not want seasons.

Again, its just a small sample, but its indicative of a larger shift (or evolution).

72

games like d2 d3 and poe all have seasons with a very small fraction of people playing non season. this is just how arpgā€™s. nothing is making you play with us. If you dont want to stay on the eternal realm but dont complain about what other players do with their time.

73

For being a fact, it sure is wrong

74

ARPG, is a subgenre of video games that combines core elements from both the action game and rpg genre.

Nowhere in that definition do I see any mention that an arpg cannot have persistent character progression.

AND if you ask me, Blizzard is failing to define the genre. They had a chance to take arpg into a new era, and really innovate. But instead half-bake things like an open world, with online persistence, with online players.

75

Nope. Noobish assumption.

76

This is not an MMO. If you wanna play WoW, go play it.

77

You absolutely donā€™t.

78

I know this isnt wow, that is my point exactly. Them failing to define the genre, instead they create an open persistent world, with always online players. Itā€™s a half baked iteration. This just create weird things as a player (for me) that the world is always there but my character will not, or at least I should abandon my character then start another, then another, then another. Every season.

No one is asking for a massively multiplayer online game, or wow clone in a diablo universe.

79

But what are you going to do with a character that already has the gear it needs? Thatā€™s what I donā€™t understand about this complaint. What are you even going to do? The game needs to reset because you already will have everything that you need. What are you just going to play to watch the spells because they look cool? I canā€™t see that holding many peopleā€™s attention that long.

You just want to go kill the monsters and get the gems they drop? Thatā€™ll last like a day.

D2R had millions of players season 1. And has maintained a high amount of players at start of each season thus far

D3 had millions playing for many of the seasons

Games get old after 20 seasons with no new content.

PoE has hundreds of thousands of players each new season.

Name a ARPG without seasons that has millions of players after the first 3 months. I will wait.
