having to restart/re level a caracter each cycle

[BlackViper]

is such a stupid thing and a waste of time.. like Why even add that crap to the game?

literally how every other ARPG works.

Any ARPG that has seasons has always made you create a new character, this isn't anything new.

Just stick to the legacy realm or whatever it's called in this game and avoid the seasons.

Not entirely true.
Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, Torchlight (1-3), Van Helsing and any other non-seasonal ARPG doesn't do this.

But you are correct with regards to any seasonal ARPG does do this.

[BlackViper]

so what does the season bring then? new areas ? or just new stuff to unlock and if so, how?

[md]

usually how these games work.

It was funny when D4 launched and literally half the players were crying because they weren't aware of the ARPG model. so many casuals lmao

[LaziShoT]

damn we already dropped 23k payers i really wanted this game to do well

What's funny about casual players being introduced to and learning new things (and sometimes not liking those things that others accept as norms)? Why is people having less time to game than others such a weird sore spot with hardercore gamers? I've generally never understood this.

black viper you don't have to restart. That's the one of the best things about this game. The same content added to the cycle is added to legacy. You can still play your old character and miss out on nothing. I too dislike other games where all the content is gated by season, but this game is not doing that. They devs have stated that the next four releases will all come to cycle and legacy at the same time. I'm playing my legacy character, offline, and still getting to enjoy all the new content.

What is wrong with you OP?

They are are like 14yo.

The fact they think seasons are "the ARPG model" despite it being a relatively new thing is a dead giveaway.

Diablo 2's first ever seasonal ladder was in 2003, and you had to create a new character to participate in the seasonal ladder chase. It absolutely is nothing new.

Don't remember anyone caring about ladder seasons at the time, and that was already a few years after the release of LoD.

Yep, this is how it is in some ARPG´s. Each and every one Season. New Character. More bashing. More Grinding. And then new Features is added to each and every one Season. Both fun and boring ones.

Literally nothing changed.
The"cycle mechanic" is absolute garbage.
The "pinnacle boss" is just as trash as every other boss they made.
And who the ♥♥♥♥ asked for evade? (No-one)
