I want to play, but the fact that season starts next week, there is no point in playing on eternal realm anymore. That server will be forever dead after seasons start rolling. Just wondering how many of you feel the same way?

I stopped playing on Eternal Realm. Been seeing how far I can get my Sorc on Hardcore before the season starts. Hardcore adds a lot of excitement to the game, for those who haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it.

Yet the few players I know left that aren’t past level 60 say they don’t want to make a seasons character and loose their progress. They might play Eternal Realm until they hit that same end game disappointment I did. By then, they’d just uninstall as many have.
I think seasons is a hamster wheel for hamsters. If Eternal Realm wasn’t all polluted by duped Shakos I wouldn’t have uninstalled to begin with. Blizzard just had no integrity to do the right thing and delete em.

The lure of seasonal power creep will get even the most stubborn eternal realm player to reroll.
FOMO is real.
Eternal realm will be a larger graveyard than PoE’s standard mode…. With 98% less stash space.

I am only level 71 and have tons of more things to unlock and test.
But I don’t feel like it. Not burnt out. I’m honestly bored and that feeling is enhanced because I can’t find any reason to continue before season 1 comes out.

Honest curiosity: why linger around the forums then? Seems like a massive waste of time.
I come to these forums to hear folks chat about D3 S29.
Not me, I just finished the campaign yesterday.
Nothing about season one really feels like something I want to do. I don’t want to relevel/retread what I just got done doing (the early game), don’t want to shell out for a battlepass, and actually that fomo thingy is having the exact reverse effect, in that I don’t want a character that works with the fomo gems then abruptly stops working at the end of the season.
I have way way way too much that needs done on eternal realm to keep me satisfied for a good long time. If I do make a seasonal character it will be just to test different hair and skin options and maybe a new name.
I’m an old mmo player and I like permanency. I played a lot of d3 and d2 and managed to almost entirely avoid doing seasons/ladder there as well.
If I’m the only one still in eternal on the 20th, well, other than an accidental pvp situation where a guy chased me for five minutes (but couldn’t kill me and I reached a town) I can’t really think of any interactions other than emote spam.
What would get me to do a season? Probably if my eternal character was level 100 with no more renown needing done, full codex, only tiny incremental upgrades left. Then, yeah, sure, I might give it a go in the same way I might level an alt in wow. Like I said though I have way too much that needs accomplished on eternal to play around with alts just now.

Diablo 4 isn’t the only game out with new content. So long as my build is painful to play I won’t log on. If I have to choose between having fun and play testing bugs and reporting them I am going to choose fun. I have high hopes they fix a lot of issues in season 1 but I also know how slow these developers are. Diablo 3 took years to get the build parity it has now. Every season you had legit 1 set and build to push one until the last couple of seasons. Sets were salvaged because they just were not useful. And on LoN only builds you didn’t even pick them up.
I am praying that it isn’t the same situation but here I am again tweeting the same people. It took 3 years of tweeting @PezRadar to get a firebird and tal rasha revamp and that ended poorly. Now it’s necromancer bugs and minion scaling which looks like it won’t be touched. Thorns is in as bad a place as it always is with invoker “thorns Barb” being the only viable option.
I will grind out my battle pass and go back to other games if they don’t at least fix bugs. I’m not going to waste my time in a perfectly imbalanced meta again. Playing the only God like builds while everything else is an afterthought is boring. I don’t want to spend a week or two playing something I don’t enjoy just to log off in 2 and a half months intervals. I want to actively enjoy the game and have a reason to play for the full season and be stoked about the next one. Either way we will see on the 18th if we are on the same road map.

I’m not actually planning on playing season 1.
I don’t really care for the cosmetic set, and it’s the middle of summer. I think they need more time to get the game fixed.
Season 2-3 maybe, when it’s not as nice outside.

If they’re level 60, beat the campaign, and are in WT3/WT4 they’ve already hit endgame.
I ditched my Druid at level 80 when it became obvious I wasn’t going to get the unique I need for a Wolf build. I would’ve kept leveling him but Bear isn’t fun and it isn’t what I wanted, so I just quit the game for the time being.
Rerolling a Rogue for Season 1.

Not level 100 but my codex is done for my chosen character, all reknown has been completed. only a few side quests in each zone left. I have no desire to play Season 1 or Diablo IV for that matter at this point.
I got my moneys worth but it is disappointing that after this long of a wait, this is what we got. Hopefully they can find a way to make the game fun over the long term.

Still trying to complete NM100 on my Necro (beat Uber Lilith already).
I havent stopped since the 1st of june. Hasnt gotten boring yet
I’ve stopped playing including S1.
I’ll save my battlepass and skips for some point in the future when maybe they’ve fixed some of the glaring issues…maybe around S5 or 6.
Normally cosmetics would FOMO me, but D4 cosmetics look like @$$.

In and of itself, I have not stopped playing the game. However, no lifer would not describe me. So, because of work, etc. I have not been on everyday. 15 and 16 July I will not even touch a computer. I am busy enough that weekend that sleep may be optional. It is not that I don’t want to play, It is not that it is not engaging, it is that I have made a choice and I am comfortable with that choice.
