Time to quit on season 3 end? Any good reason to start over in season 4?

[CZI]

I have been enjoying play about 100h in season 3. Lv 3 sourceless.
I liked D2R, but I did not like D3 as probably no souceless class.

But I don't feel like to start over on season 4. So I think it is time to stop playing. There are many other games to play. My main game area is 3D fighters and some sim racing. ARPG is good for more relax time play.

Is there any good reason to start over on season 4 or keep playing (eternal?) server?

I may come back again 2-3 year later to see what's new. But I think I don't like the idea of start over every half year.

If you start over in Seasonal Realm you can grind out the new free cosmetics and stuff (Seasonal Journey, free track of the Battle Pass).

As to why you would want to play after Season 4 update goes live? Plenty of reasons, the game is undergoing massive changes.

As a teaser that's by no means exhaustive (patch notes for Season 4 are 10000 words) you could check out this blog post to see some of the highlights of what's coming.

As Dravic sayed, if you aware, season 4 will not own a "dedicated themed season" S4 of diablo 4 is just a big QOL patch with 2/3 themed quest line, but she doesn't get powered stuff as season 2 and 3
- A patch who in a certain ways, will give diablo 4, a diablo 3 mood about progression feel, but, it s keep diablo 4 vibes.

Iv e start fresh for testing the patch on ptr without speaking pnj to get level 100.
Then, it s now possible to beat 1st boss on tier 2 with yellow stuff only. Over all, they just make the game more balanced than never before specially about armor pts, who was a real probleme about the cap. Always needed to sacrifice dammage pts to get more armor pts, to survive T difficulty boss pass

Then i will not resume all the change, but in a way, they kicked off all boring thing about progression systeme, they packed all into something very optimized to let the player have more playing time than check inventory/craft time.
Iv e level up a 84 barbare on ptr, it took me around 25hours full solo without specially rushing
Then, i think level 100 goal is possible in 30 hours maybe less for experimented player. Time to level up 100 have be divided by 2. it s due you get more powerfull faster with the new loot/craft systeme/codex, less time in the hub, more time in infernal waves/dungeon, better loot stat, more faster full fill exp bar.

So yes, it s worth to restart, the game is 2time less boring than before, crafting is 95% targetable, and now, the stuff you loot is more efficient, the caractere progression is more powerfull, you can feel the difference, thing player doesn't feel before and actually (don t count robot)


This patch give you all the key to roll on the game, a patch who should have be released 9 month ago to keep the high player base.

Content is a thing, the way a game invite you to play is another thing, and of course, the patch of these features will applied on eternal realm, so your will be able to continue your caractere progression with new stuff without restarting a new seasonal caractere

Привет.
жаль что люди головой не Думают когда покупают ))
ДА ты можеш продолжить в ве4ном , НО !!!
у тебя не будет шмота и пасивок с ПОМЕТКОЙ СЕЗОН ( в виде листочка )
и только часть из них перейдет в сезон 5 основным если так захотят разрабы.
не сезоные герои имеют только полный набор класического Диабло 4.
в етом ты мог и сам убедица просто создав героя и нажав Н глянув на аспекты или Ф на не правленные пасивки.

100 hours is a lot for most people Take a break, play something else and come back any time you feel like it.

I frankly don't like that we have to start anew with each season if we want to have access to the latest changes and latest items. Why not incorporate all of the past changes into the new season, akin to what an MMO does, so we don't need to start over?

[CZI]

Thank you for the info.
I may create character in S4 and play a bit to keep S4 data in my account.
I still don't understand how the retired server (eternal server) works.

New players frequently feel bad when max level characters with near perfect gear don't want to play with them or trivialize content. Those max level players are encouraged to start over regularly and be on even footing with the newbies for a while via seasons/ladders, and are incentivized into doing it with new content. If you only want to play on your existing level 100s, you can still do that. If you don't like the idea of starting over, that's normal enough, but there are a lot of other games that encourage "New Game+" where people play through and re-level over and over.

When you strart a character in Season, you will have additional seasonal story line and mechanics that will not show up on Eternal. When the Season ends, the seasonal character gets transferred to the Eternal Realm with everything, except seasonal stuff which will be gone, but all his equip, achievements and progress will be there. You can still play the character like normal. A new Season will always have you make a new character (and reason is well explained by ImpactHound) if you want to participate in it.

As for me, alot of the enjoyment with this game comes from trying out new classes/builds, and thus I am fine with starting over now and then anyway. For me, lvl100 "endgame" is of little interest, it's getting there with a new build that's most of the fun. And of course NOT just following meta builds.

BTW. what the heck does "Lv3 sourceless" mean?!? You meant a Tier (World Level) 3 Sourcerer?

Yes. They are gone since they were content for season 3.
I hope they bring in pets (passive or active) one day. I want my cow pet from D3 back.
