First off, I’m enjoying the game right now. Starting over to me is always fun, and grinding renown does not feel like a chore to me.
Now, Can we please have seasonal content carry over to eternal realms, in general? What‘s the reason not to? I don’t see any good reason. Vanilla game is pretty content-light. S1 content wise is very light, too, however if it would carry over at least I would see great benefit for the future as hearts add another layer of depth in tailoring your builds. I really think hearts would/will be great fun as an integral component of D4.
Also, can we not have class restricted loot please? Class restricted loot and no trading is such a weird design choice, it kills half of the seasonal hype without the fresh economy. The grind in general less fun because the idea of the next big item in your next run just isn’t there. In D2 there were constant little adrenaline rushs with charms, runes and non class restricted loot.
I sorta agree, i love that my altars and map were 100% completed. But why no waypoints (except for the strongholds - are great - left undone so you can we do the strongholds)
Its almost like decaffeinated coffee. Or Non-alocoholic beer/wine… so weird
there would be crazy power creep if all seasonal mechanics carried over but I’m sure we’ll see something like the abilities on the hearts make it into the game be it thru something like runewords/ Kanai’s Cube. The hearts are just really testing for abilities that might be added later somehow like all seasonal mechanics mostly. The idea of the hearts doesn’t matter the skills that they give do
yeah, farming strongholds is really great xps! I got my rogue in wt4 with a necro buddy and we 2 manned the wt at level 55/57 got ourselfs into wt4 and I farmed the crap out of wt4 (stronghold) - super good xps but no drops (which is fine since the xps is sooooo goood) making 169k to 181k depending on the randomness of mobs spawns every few minutes
I do agree balancing would always be an issue, but I don’t see it as an unmanageable task tbh. Other games can do it, too, with years worth of content all put into permanent content. Sometimes some builds will be op, others be weaker, that’s life of aprg (any game, in fact).
I just really dislike the idea of not carrying over seasonal content over to eternal as the norm. Exceptions are fine, but the rule…? Really? D4 in its current state just 5 years later would actually be pathetic tbh. We need way more content over the years than just that one seasonal mechanic
