    I don't understand the appeal of this. I work my butt off to make a high-leveled, well thought-out, and highly geared character, just for none of it to matter in three months and I have to start from scratch again if I want to experience new content??

    Congrats on the success man! You deserve it! It was no fluke or mistake, you haven't just been blessed with luck, you are here because you are authentic and relatable on a level where I believe both casual and advanced players can benefit from your knowledge. You have a way of breaking all the jargon down so that people like myself can more easily understand and therefore extract more enjoyment from the game overall. That said I also support you just being you and any content you release I would also be interested in viewing. You don't have to just be the diablo 4 guy, I would definitely watch other game reviews and guides you make for other games as well. So keep it up man and do what you want to do, much respect!

      This is literally the Diablo gameplay loop. It’s pretty standard in aRPGs.
      Each season plays differently for the most part, and gives us a real reason to try new classes.
      But as the video explains, your existing characters still exist - they just don’t play inside the season (ladder boards, rewards, etc).
      No, it’s not for everyone, but seasons are what most Diablo players sign up for. The game to date has literally just been a waiting period for a lot of us :)

    DM killing it as always. It's been interesting seeing a lot of confusion around seasons, I think it speaks to how many new players are trying Diablo 4. Hopefully lots of them give seasons a go - I know it can feel weird to start a new character at first, but there's a ton of fun to be had from trying out the new mechanics and re-leveling alongside the rest of the community. If you're someone reading this who doesn't have a lot of time to play, the eternal realm is perfect, but if you have time to play a bit more often give seasons a try!

      @@isiaac5715 Yeah, you can. The seasonal realm will have some unique events that let you level up faster, or give different gear, so it's basically a way to replay the game with new features. But if you prefer to just keep playing your eternal realm character, and progressing the story and your level there, you can just do that.
      When a season ends, the seasonal characters will become eternal characters too - so if someone really likes their season one character, they can keep playing that instead of playing a new season two character, if they prefer.

      I'm one of these people. New to the season model. At first glance it looks like running laps in old content. But if enough new things come with seasons I can understand the attraction. Does new maps/bosses/communal objectives of sorts tend to come with seasonal content?

    • @kenallsop7502
      @kenallsop7502 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@mr.neqtan It kinda depends on the game, and they haven't specified exactly what it'll be for Diablo 4 yet.
      But as some examples, one recent Diablo 2 season (yes they still support it, at least in its remastered version) added "Terror Zones" - these are actually a bit like Helltides in D4, harder areas that appear with a chance for better loot. Another season added new runewords - allowing players to craft completely new unique items that changed several classes.
      Diablo 3 seasons usually introduce new set items (gear where, if you collect all 4 or 6 matching pieces, you get special bonuses). The most recent D3 season that DM mentioned here has this "altar" that you had to collect specific items for, and at each step unlocked upgrades tbaf would make all of your seasonal characters more powerful for that season. There were about 30 in total, ranging from "+20% damage" to "you can walk through enemies & enemy-created walls" or even "all low-quality gear that drops near you is automatically picked up and turned into materials."
      As I say, we don't know quite what D4 will bring yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out. Hopefully they'll bring something particularly cool for season one to show it off to newcomers!

    @buddykaiser2380 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I've always found it difficult to find the motivation to do end game with Diablo or games like it. The reason is because I'm very much driven more by a games story to continue playing. Dont get me wrong, I also very much enjoy becoming as powerful as possible and engaging with all its various mechanics of the game but once the story is completed I find it hard to continue playing just to continue finding stronger equipment etc knowing that the story is finished. I like the sound of seasons because you said it will have new stories so I'd definitely be into that. I've just never understood the attraction to keep playing just to continuously grow stronger and stronger. Personally I don't really do anything with multi-player (mostly because I don't have any friends who also play video games like I do) on any game so I find no motivation to continue farming gear and experience after the credits roll if I'm not playing against other players. Every once in a while I'll play a game that I liked so much that I'll play new game + but its unfortunately rare. I think I might look into some videos that explain more about end game so I can maybe grasp more of what its about and who knows maybe I'll find a reason to do it.

    I’m fine with the concept of new characters for seasons. Only dislike for me is how quickly they’re releasing season 1. With the game releasing and having so much to do I won’t be ready for a seasonal character. However after maxing renown and finishing my build on my “main” character I don’t feel like a new character every 3 months is an issue. But the game has just released and there is so much to do and discover that we should have had 3 months to do so before expecting to be ready for this.

      Im glad they realese it already since its a big part of the game thats absent at the moment. I preffer that they do it now instead of when they realesed the game. Now i have tryed out 2 classes and have a better understanding of which class i wanna put my time into for 3months.
      Alot of gear that's missing from the game atm will be realesed asweel. Pretty obvious that some types of specs are missing legendary effects to support that type of spec.

    Given how much time I can sometimes put into games like this, I can often touch some of the mid-late game. But having to start a new character is going to feel a little daunting. I got to level 60 in about 2 weeks, probably not grinding efficiently as I've still got 90% of the dungeons left to do. I shall give it a shot though, if they enhance XP to make that re-grind a little less tiring. It's mostly losing the Legendaries for me as they make the build and always seem to be playing catch up even past level 50, thankfully I got a ring for completing the campaign that really makes my Ice Sorcerer incredibly reliable.
    I can see why new people to the game, are not super happy about this though. The main one for me is doing all the side quests again as they're kinda meh. I don't really want to have to re-do them but I understand it adds content for a new season.

    First diablo here and i gave it a big chance and had massive FOMO with friends also playing the game, i can't help but feel super disheartened that they're sticking with what apparently isn't much different from previous games, to experience the season, you need to make a character each and every season to see what it has to offer, and if you don't want to commit to that grind, oh well, tough luck i guess?
    That's so punsihing for those that can't dedicate hours upon hours upon hours worth of time, but want to.. from my understanding, the over-arc's of story and stuff, to treat this as little mini-DLC's is gut wrenching.. it feels like i now have to rush through my main character to get it where i want to be, before playing season 1, picking another character, doing it all over again, just to experience the campaign like missios/objectives to experience any type of DLC/Expansion feel within the seasons outside of the expansion releases.. That's so... ugh.

    @WhitieWu ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I still think the reasoning behind why you have to make a new character for each season is ridiculous.
    To keep it fair, let's make it so that everyone starts at the beginning!
    Well, no. If I happen to begin playing the game for the first time in the middle of a season, I first have to beat the story to unlock the seasons. I'm going to be so much further behind than everyone else.
    What happens to the character I just leveled up during the season? Don't worry, your character isn't deleted when the season ends, they just go to a server that no one will be playing on. You're basically retiring a character that you won't bother playing again.
    It's just a stupid excuse to keep grinding in the game and leveling up countless alts that eventually do nothing.
    Best advice to anyone thinking about playing Diablo 4 is to play a character you have little to zero interest in playing and beat the story. Then when the season starts, play the character you want to play and ONLY play that character until the next season. Now choose a different character and do everything you want in that season, rinse and repeat until you've played all of the classes you wanted to play. Congrats. Did you have fun? Now ask yourself if you want to keep doing that or just quit the game and go do something else.

    Each class has so many ways to build and play if you aren’t looking for the meta build which even the meta changes. I personally don’t want to make a duplicate class just to play seasonal content with the class I like the most and trying to perfect that i’m sinking all my free time into. It’s cool they keep your class after seasons but what’s the real point if you don’t make a new class? If you play the same class you’ll have duplicate of the same class after season when you can already freely swap builds/gear on 1 and then even after the season ends since they get sent to the same realm. I feel this is a long term problem for people that don’t want to or simply just can’t grind a new class but love this Diablo and the class they are playing now. So what do those people do now then? Even if you had the time to make a new class each season because why play sorc and regrind sorc 2-3 seasons in a row that’ll only last for 5 seasons if a new class isn’t added because idk if the game/class is deep enough to make multiple of the same classes viable long term while just cranking world tier and gems up a notch. I’ll be making a new class but I’m not a causal player.

      I’m just gonna uninstall the game when this drops, Me personally, I have 6 days play time in Diablo so far, I’m only level 72 lol
      I work full time. I’m not grinding a new character every time, just for some seasonal updates lol.
      It should be a across the board with every update. I think a lot of people sound happy, until they actually have to do it lol.
      *re grinding the same character all over again, for a cosmetic :)*

      Dude idk plenty of people in d2 made the same class every season over and over again.
      People don’t care about collecting all the characters they just care about reliving the experience?
