The reason Blizz gives for the big changes coming next season is that they believe it not fun any more for players to have a slow progression until reaching the new end game content. They have been making levelling faster and faster and want to go a step further with 2.0.
If that really is the objective why not just let players keep their builds from one season to the other. This basically means merging Eternal and Seasonal. Players who want to start fresh with new builds can do it. The others will just keep using their existing builds. The tier list is reshuffled anyway and new items and abilities are coming with each season. Many players would want to try new builds anyway.

They wont get rid of eternal. There is a demand for a non-reset mode. Seasons need a reset and everything needs to be new, everyone needs to start at the same place.
Also the seasonal gimmicks should stay in season only.

I mean if it’s any faster to level with the xpac I’d say why does this game even have seasons when the whole journey to get back there lasts a few hours, what’s the point?
The last seasonal gimmick was what S3? Where we had construct stones that are now labled as rune words? Infernal hordes doesnt count because its not a power fantasy mechanic that most arpgs give every season. Like vamp powers for example mite have been the last real “gimmick” which was what over a year ago?? Lol the entire “gimmick” this last 3 seasons have been reworking items that shouldnt have been in the state they were in to begin with… D4 is indeed a failed game

Running 2 separate Realms is more expensive for Blizz and they just keep creating problems for Eternal players with the seasonal updates. We are reaching a point where players level in just of few hours. Does it really make a much different to start the season with a lvl100 (60) build. If you want to play a S-tier, you will need to change anyway.

I wish they will just put all the seasonal stuff in eternal. Imagine having Barber, Blood powers, Construct on top of the S4 and S5 loot. Too broken lol.
Eternal is boring already. Adding those will make it kinda comical but at least less boring.
S4 and S5 isnt a feature added its an update to the games core loot which shouldnt of been as crappy to begin with lol… you guys are satisfied with absolutely anything it seems
Nope. I am far from satisfied. There are things I want the game to address but I know crying and whining about them won’t make any difference like:
- Revert back Uber rates similar to S0/S1
- Revert back NM 100 difficulty similar to S0
- Make Incinerate meta-level

does it really make a difference if a sporting league at the start of a new season kept their current points and continued from that point in a new season
This is not a league. There is no competition between the players.
Yep. Ubers should be just tradeable. I am ok if it’s tradeable within Uber to Uber only.
I know folks who want a Shako and others who want Andy but unfortunately they got the wrong helmet lol.
whats that got to do with anything, it’s still a new season and besides isn’t there a pit or something that ladders you against other players with the same class
Technically there is none but there are implied leagues:
- Ego leagues
- Fomo leagues
- Streamer leagues
If they put them toghether eternal people will cry like they crying now for items changes
Not 100% true. We had op holy bolt elixers that i actually miss in S4. S5 didnt have anything i assume to divert resources to the xpac which is fine by me.
I mean it depends. We dont know the playerbase still on eternal and eternal players should have a place. Sure it only takes about 20 hours to be max leveled, min/maxed anf 12/12 mw but some dont want to regrind that.
It would just add bloat to the game. Powers shouldnt be taken away in the eternal.
Now I am a little bias because im a seasonal player. I see no purpose for the eternal with how easy everything has become but I also know there is a playerbase that enjoys the eternal.

One of my issues with eternal even if things are easy or hard, there’s nothing new to look forward to. If PvP is the hot stuff in Eternal, I might actually like Eternal as I can slowly build my ultimate PvPer
Because the whole point of seasons is to reset the playing board. That’s like the whole draw for a season, and why they exist in any game. So a Season without a reset, is exactly like no Season at all.
If you do not like Seasonal resets, you should def play a different genre.
This is obscenely obvious. What’s the prolonged confusion about?
I am also a seasonal player, was kind of forced into it but I am OK with that. We reached a point of levelling becomes almost non existent and Blizz wants to reduce that even more with the next update. I am just wondering what the point of forcing the reset. You jump in the season one day later and there are already plenty of lvl 100 players around. Does it make much difference if they are lvl 100 from the start? The real reset is coming from the seasonal Tier list anyway.
Agreed. I mean its not like D2 where you had an MF system and exciting loot hunt. Mind you the mf system became somewhat irrelevant after 1.10 when runeword powercreep came in because mf% didnt impact rune drop rates.
Everything in D4 has an end and it comes somewhat quick especially with full trade. Just like in D2 when you hit 99 you were unlikely to ever play that toon again.
