Renown grind in season just ain’t it

It wasn’t fun in the eternal realm.

It’s tedious and annoying in the seasonal realm.

I know there are increases… thanks? But it’s still just a chore and not fun.

Please, once it’s done on one character, on any realm… channels inner Samwise “let us be rid of it”

I think once renown is done on one toon, you should just be awarded an " I WIN" button, this way you wouldn’t have to play thru any part of the game again with any other toon you create for any future seasons, just press the button and you are lvl 100.
Or you can just stay on the eternal realm and not worry about doing the “grind” again…

Not what I said at all but ok.

Renown isn’t fun. It’s nothing more than a “to do list”

I agree with this, but not sarcastically.

Everything before the endgame loop is a chore after you’ve done it once (also the first time, in the case of renown). It was in D3 as well. The devs know this, which is why they eventually made it possible to get to level cap within a few hours in that game.

Just diversify the way you level up, do Tree of Whispers, pick a side quest going to dungeon or in Helltides zones you need to do, Strongholds, etc.

By the time you get to level 80 and have done all the NM dungeons once and picked all teleports, you should be (near) max in all regions.

I’ve done it on softcore and hardcore for eternal realm, as well as again for softcore during this season 1. If I’m ever expected to do it again in future seasons, they can expect me to never be seen logged into d4 again

They should just make renown account bound. If you’ve done it on one character, that’s it, it’s done for every following character.

At the very least, award renown for things players actually enjoy doing, like NMD for example. Making us go back and re-do side missions over and over and over is not fun, it’s a grind.

I honestly don’t get these posts. You do side quests and the season quests and in a few hours you are 35 and have all the renown. Then the real grinding starts. When you have to do a bajillion stupid NMD’s to level up glyphs.

this I cant disagree, not sure if they should just give us all the renown. But something needs to be done.

Diablo 4 aint it… in any format

Devs want you to play it their way, no if ands are buts about it. Gave the season a try, hoping they can add some fun back into the game later. Alts typically keep me going, but they killed that with the patch since I have no desire to grind another through the early levels with powerleveling being dead.

they need to up the rewards on side quests or something. Make side quest caches also drop weapons and armor and they would be more tolerable imo.

Checklists should only be completed once

It is easily done passively and is fine.

yeah renown grind is stupid, just make it “one-time” for Eternal season then unlock the rest in other season (account wide all tier of Renown), i don’t want to repeat these boring side quests and stronghold every season.
how can some people think it’s fine to do that? super boringgggggg

Same. I’ve done it 4 times now. SC and HC eternal realms and season. If I have to do it again, I’m just going to uninstall.

Then don’t do it? I don’t understand why people feel obligated to do something they don’t find rewarding. You know what the clearest signal people could send the devs would be? Don’t do it. Suddenly their data will show that people aren’t doing it and they will want to tweak the numbers.

Believe me, I wouldn’t but the paragon points make it feel mandatory. 20 points can get you some nice power boosts.

Leveling too. And potion upgrades, elixir recipes, Glyphs. Dungeons. Bosses, monsters. Eventually your character should just be alone in a barren world, sitting atop a pile of yellows.

So it rewards you for the effort?
