You get a resplendant spark for doing the seasonal journey.
i dont see what the fun is resetting, all the effort + time spent to gather the item is wasted.
but d4 was quite fast to leveling so im ok,
while d2r reset its the real pain. i have to find few jah and ber rune again, its just pain.
Almost, just add a picture of Homer Simpson with a crayon up his nose, slap your comment on it and now you have a meme. Kids dig memes.
It should not actually be this way and yes, those two are in conflict with each other.
ARPGs have (relatively) complex character system and itemization because it’s meant to be enjoyed when you are making a new char and progressing him through the game - it’s the RPG element. This is in essence not dissimilar to traditional RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3, for example. It has a beginning and an end, where the gameplay lies in between those two.
So what happens when you reach “the end”? You make a new char to experience the whole thing again, but with a different path. You can choose a different build and aRPGs traditionally complement this with randomized levels, right from the dungeon crawlers (e.g. Rogue) era.
Nowadays people conflate aRPGs with modern MMOs where the meat of the game usually starts at max level for the latter hence the desire to reach max level fast. ARPGs are also designed differently from MMOs, where you play a single char forever and play through updates to experience new things.

I really feel that the devs are on an arc which will eventually resolve the sh… show that Glyphs currently are along with not saving builds etc. I am keeping mostly uniques and uber uniques over on eternal along with chars that I went a bit further (more glyphs to 21). I have SOOO many boots with 4 resist etc… LOL… Ouch.
Been playing D3 seasons for a decade now and not gonna stop, I just love the freshness of it.

This is it for me as well. I love starting fresh every season with everyone else just as fresh.

Because everyone else is playing on Eternal characters. A fresh season start is fresh for every other player as well.

Some of you guys are thinking too much into this.

I didn´t check any reveal so not sure what seasson content we will get, if any.
But I will play seasson just for at least one free good cosmetic.
I don´t mind spent few hours to get to WT4.
I think there will be at least something as seassonal content, and I am ok with that no matter how small it will be.

I will play seasonal for at least 5 seasons. I charcater per season. Then, i really don’t know. I enjoy the “gimmick” of each season a bit… but… once i have each class to a 100 im not sure what i will do. I personally wish they would make the seasons an opportunity to choose one of my 100 level chars to enter into a higher world conflict for 3 months in which i can supercharge the character with the new “gimmick” and then have it reduced back down to 100 again… this formula in some fashion would entice me eternally to keep playing seasonal… “shrugs”

I will play Eternal Realm only as the only new content is the PIT and new Unique item and skill balance change which is available in both realm. Playing at Eternal realm not just allow us to start at fully gear character and Uber Unique, we also loaded with crafting resources, elixirs and gold which allow us to concentrate on the new content instead of walking around farming things we already owned.
Start in Eternal realm also eliminate the Uber Duriel Chore, and we also don’t need to engage in the boring seasonal quest and we not even need to play helltide. As for cosmetic, I always prefer to buy from shop instead of Battlepass, as the quality is in shop is much better although price higher.
This Season 4 change is definitely a big W for players who prefer continue progression of their characters compare to those who prefer to start new every 3 months.
Comment only, won’t reply unless you are asking a valid question.

What OliveShark said. Word/
i play for the achievement of getting a seasonal title
i complete journey and peace out
but this is some sad joke = Season 4: Loot Reborn
next season will be called season 5 : more monster density ?
trully an epic title
that will prolly be my routine also after i do one season of each char. But i really think season 5 will be MORE COWBELL… thats my guess anyways
i wouldnt get too comfortable with it =P
The entire game has received an itemization overhaul.
How am I going to actually experience it when I start on eternal with a maxed out character? That makes no sense.
And yes, I do want the battlepass rewards lol.

i want the battlepass rewards too:D
BUT, seriuosly, for a great many the leveling process to 80 or 100 is kinda trivial… not all… but many. So why not let me bring my character I’m invested in to the table at 100… THEN let the new gimmick begin…? i do not seek to make seasons irrelevant, but rather, let me bring my relevant character to the fray!
Because I want to and I can play the game however I want.

Yes. You can. No argument from me on this issue… why does that affect wanting to play my already invested characters at 100 with say most everything stripped away at level 100 which takes maybe a day or so to achieve?
