The game should be set up kind of what’s going on in Diablo Immortal. You get points for doing dungeons, quest and so on toward your season battle pass.
Starting at level 1 you guys nuts or something, tons are not even lvl 100 yet.
For me that’s a huge turn off for doing seasons and a lot of players I play with. It should not be a fresh start. it should just be extra stuff to do and seasonal item, cosmetic and stuff. working on a point system not a dam fresh start. Unless you giving every one 10 000% expr. boost so they can go from 1-100 in few hours.
Open world game fresh start horrible idea.
go play D3 and come back and delete your post please. D3 and D2 have had seasons where you start fresh on a character and that’s what kept the game alive for YEARS.
sorry that you don’t get it.
Diablo 2 and 3 always had ladder/seasons, with it came new content. That was the incentive for playing them, then all that new content became available after the season ended for the non season players.
Neither D2 nor D3 have the sort of reputation grinds D4 has. D2 had 6-month ladders. Sorry you don’t get it.
And yes, OP is right. This is a terrible idea in a game with 3-month resets.
lol then do not play season. That is the ENTIRE point of a season.
That is like entering a bus and complaining that it will move to another place.
Data shows that seasons are very popular in AARPG as they take a game in which most people quit playing due to having completed it, and bring a large amount of them back to play again.
Your reputation rewards carry over to seasons along with your alters. You only have to re farm waypoints which are grayed out on your map and strongholds along with dungeon rewards.
Op is kind of right. D3 have seasons and works same way sure but I can max level a char in a day or two, with D4 I feel like lvling up to 100 again will be more of a chore than it ever was in D3 although free tier of battle pass will include XP bonuses so we shall see how that goes. Definitely too early to judge
This is incorrect. Renown carries over partially, Devs said you’ll end up half way to tier 3 so you will still have to do some side quests, maybe few altars or dungeons to unlock last 2 tiers
data shows
Weasel words. Other arpgs aren’t structured the way D4 is.
I will wire $10k to the first person who can name one Diablo-like, top-down, action role-playing game that resets every 3 months and has reputation bars that need to be ground out in every world zone to complete a character.
If renown is the only thing you have for seasonal resets then I’m not going to say I disagree. But its so disingenuous of you to dog on seasons because of it.
Facts we have right now:
1.) Devs are very aware of the apprehension about renown in seasons and have actively taken steps to make it better.
2.) They are meeting us half way at the moment but said they are willing to make further adjustments in the future. This means they will probably move forward with the current model, but if people are still unhappy after trying out they will make further adjustments.)
so you’re complaining about issues that already have a set path for resolution is such a waste of everybody’s time.
D3 was not open world
All altars carry over as does map discovery. They have confirmed that. You will do the rest of the renown grind through dungeons and strongholds.
Are you beeing sarcastic?
You guys really need to stop spamming its getting out of control.
Data shows that D3 had about 40k active players on average during the last few seasons.
That’s abysmal.
no. How could you think that?
Yes that’s what I said, I only mention to farm up renown to max you might want to do some altars on the way or dungeons. Altars even if discovered will still provide renown points if rediscovered
Data also shows that Wildstar still has players, third party data is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine
you’re saying that a 10 year old game was able to bring back 40k players without an expansion or adding new content. And you’re saying thats bad?
