New player - Should I wait for 1.0 to start playing?

[dʒɔːrdən]

Will the transition into 1.0 be smooth if I begin lvling a character now? Or will there be enough changes to warrant holding off for a while?

[Oblivion Recrashed]

I'd say wait at this point. It's not too long of a wait and you can't make a seasonal cycle character now. All characters made until actual release are in a different area than the new season ones, so you will have to start over if you wanna play on the season. You might mess around a bit to see which class you want to start out with.

Ah ok thank you!
Basically new to ARPGs in general. Are seasonal character deleted after a certain time? If I don't necessarily care about seasonal characters right away, would the experience I'd get now be the same to 1.0?

When it comes to seasons there is usually a mechanic that is set for a certain amount of time. The characters aren't deleted but you can't play a nonseasonal character when a new season starts. You have to start over. So I say try the game to see if you like it then possibly wait.

That is called "seasonal content" and none are planned for LE. According to the developer mike it could be years until its released.

No - seasonal characters will move to a nonseasonal server once that season ends.

That clearly sounds more like PoE's League. Hence, this game's Cycle, which will be coming with 1.0 release.

A "season" can be as minor as the D2 seasons where it was just a ladder reset. A "season" can also be as the user mentioned

Closer to a PoE league.

The cycles in LE are just Early Access 2.0 with no "seasonal content" scheduled.

I thought the 'Cycle' they were talking about was the kind of League from PoE. A 3 Months or so unique content on top of regular game contents with unique rewards and different 'servers'.

So, according to you, that's not Cycle, but 'Seasonal Content'?

The current plan is that the cycle is a ladder reset. I know its confusing but a "season/cycle" is not the same as "seasonal content" the only reason "people" keep conflating the two is to be deliberately misleading. As even the user above was under the assumption that a "mechanic" was coming with the season.

Squares and rectangles.

When people say season, they often mean PoE leagues. They think, or in this case assert that "delve" is coming, that "metamorph" is coming, even "harvest" is coming. Those are "seasonal content" that sometimes go core.

In LE according to the developer mike what is coming is a ladder reset, and moving those characters to the legacy server.

"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" --Developer mike or a fancy way of saying Early Access 2.0.
