1.0 patch question
Can anyone confirm the waypoints and if i complete the story mode, will stick around and show completed once 1.0 comes out in a few weeks. Or will everyone be starting from square one meaning all way points and the story mode will need completed again.

It is incredibly unlikely. It should be a fresh start. Diablo 4 is the only game of this genre that allows that kind of progress to carry over into a new season.

Every new character u start out from lvl will need to do the campaign. Unless u go through the dungeons to skip parts of the campaign.

U really only need to get all 15 passive points from side quest. And all idol slots given by side quest there's 8 side quest that give idol slots

This will be the same for cycle and legacy modes of play.

Nothing carries over when ur playing a new lvl 1 character. Other that stash and crafting mates and gold. Unless ur playing solo character found

However currently only thing that is account wide. Is ur faction rank. However faction ranks will reset every 3-4 months if ur playing cycle mode in legacy nothing will reset.

That's crazy. I'm trying to look up how Seasons will be and if it's minor or major changes but each new season with the same exact campaign for the 40x time will get boring. I'll give it a try and see how i like it, hopefully they had Seasonal quest line with some type of story. Ehhh man.

"The current plan for the first initial set of cycles that happen is to have them be immediately rolled out to everyone and automatically rolled into everything. This is because a lot of the initial mechanics that we introduce through cycles are things that, given a magic wand, we would just include with 1.0 and we think it’s important to have them as part of the game regardless." --Developer mike

Question: If a cycle feature works well, will they have a chance to become core, similar to how PoE runs their leagues.

mike: rambles a bit before getting to "I don’t know if we’ve quite nailed down the details on that but I don’t think there’s going to be, at least for the first like probably couple of years or so…I guess, that dynamic of will it get rolled into standard?"

Meaning the first couple of years will not have seasonal content, they will be Early Access 2.0. subject to change.

So if I level a character now, should I assume that any leveling I do will not count after beta is over?

That is if you want to play seasons (cycles). If you don't care for the "all 3 months is a wipe" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that has infected the ARPG community, then play on with you pre-1.0 character.

If they run it similiarly to the GGG/PoE crew, they will push down "tested/proven" concepts from the seasons down to the "legacy" cycles. Meaning you will enjoy some of the game mechanics of the seasons, later.

Tells you basically everything you need to know about seasons: They are beta cycles with you as an unpaid beta tester. Congratulations.

Braindead take, seasonal mechanics in PoE never go Core at the rate/level they were as a league mechanic. You can call us beta testers all you want, but you'll never experience a single "league" mechanic how it was designed, and at the frequency it was introduced. In most cases you will receive a watered down version that pales in comparison to the original. Congratulations, you get to play a worse version of nearly everything because you're bad at a game and incapable of starting over. The "legacy" league will also be subject to massive inflation whereas the new league starts out fresh with a fresh economy every time. You also are more likely to end up with the nerfed versions of items and never get to experience them as they were.

tl;dr You are playing in the graveyard while everyone else plays in the amusement park, you're not having a superior experience.

I'm only interested in offline mode. How will that be affected?

It's not really affected, your characters played in offline you will not be able too use them online if you change your mind. Any cosmetics like pets and armours are not available except online.
