On one hand the renown system can be useful to encourage players to explore the game and complete dungeons. However having to do this every time to get various rewards will get tedious quickly.
Especially things like uncovering every bit of the map, doing all the dungeons, fortress assaults and shrines again will become extremely annoying when you create multiple characters. From what I’ve seen the XP rewards for a character are not really that important (you get enough through main and side quests) and the gold rewards are a bit irrelevant as well once you go for a second and third character. So only getting them once and maybe having a bit of an XP and gold gain boost at the start of the second character if you’ve already uncovered the various renown entries should be fine and even if you don’t get the XP and gold I don’t think anyone would care.
People will care however if they have to spend hours again to go through the various renown nodes to have everything documented on character 2 and 3. In my opinion it should be done once and then it’s done. I think even the map parts you’ve uncovered with other characters) should already be uncovered for the follow up characters once the prologue is done. This would be a good quality of life change as you could do renown tasks with different characters and all would add to the overall result.

won’t matter once you get the mount , you’ll blaze through zones … I rest my case .
So you blaze through each dungeon as well and you can quickly do all the fortresses again and you can repeat all the side quests again quickly?

Have you ever played WoW ? Any Diablo title or even played any other game in your life ? Wtf is your point ??
As far as i know the skillpoints that you earn for renown do carry over to other characters aswell, at least when a character is created after earning a few you start with the extra points available for distribution from the getgo. Im not sure but i think it´s likely that you also get the other bonuses on other characters as well as the skillpoints.

I know that the skill points and healing potion upgrades carry over. The same goes for the Lilith shrine stat boosts and all the legendary item enchants you get from completing a dungeon for the first time.
But that makes the whole repeating the renown tasks on every character even more pointless as the only thing you get a second time is the gold and XP while you still have to spend hours upon hours repeating the same content again (quests, dungeons and so on). In addition I cannot see the overall progress from character A when I play character B which simply sucks. Sure I can see that I have the skill points but not what is missing on my other character or the locations of the already unlocked lilith shrines.
The whole thing will just be extremely annoying and once Diablo 4 is released if the renown system stays the way it is you better be prepared to have a lot of threads in this forum complaining about it.
What is so difficult to understand about my explanation on the topic?
And yes, I’ve played all Diablo games, World of Warcraft, Lost Ark and way to many other games. The Diablo 4 renown system is fine if you just play one character. Once you create a second one you will see the problems…
Btw. in Diablo 3 season progress was always account wide and shared between the characters. So if you kill Belial for season progress on your first character then you will not have to kill him again on the second character to get the same progression notification again. What’s done is done no matter which character does it.
some stuff carries over. Items in chests, and codexes. Dont know with the Lilith shrines though. Rest I’m okay redowing.
Also Im sure there are ways to jump straight to end game with other classes once you’re done. Even in new seasons like in D3.
And you clearly missed that the game is seasoned based , 3 months and you start to zero , in this seasonal window you’re most likely going to grind 1 toon per season not 3-5 like in D3. Pretty simple uh !?

What makes you think that Diablo 4 seasons will be similar to Diablo 3 or Path of Exile seasons?
Because devs confirmed that seasons will be around 3 months long 
I wasn’t talking about the length of a season.
I said the total opposite though 
You did not just refer to the timeframe but also implied that each season people would have to start new characters which means you think the seasons will be similar to what PoE and Diablo 3 does. And you have no idea if this will be the case.
I do Devs actually confirmed it lmfao have you even ever played a ladder/season focused game??? Console much ?
What I meant is the entire system , items , re-spec cost is meant to push you towards a single class/build per season, have you even been keeping up with the game??? Ffs…
We shall see. Don’t be surprised if you start seeing complaint threads popping up constantly related to the renown system once D4 goes live.
The only thing I’m hoping that is a permanent account thing is the altars of Lilith , no one wants tho click them every season
