Eternal realm is useless in this game

Why does eternal realm even exist? My great sorcerer with mythic uniques and 35000 attack power has now 658 attack power and mythics have their stats like divided by 10.

Thanks a lot mr developer ;/

At this point it’s completely useless to create any character in eternal realm because every season will affect eternal realm gameplay anyway and all my characters in eternal realm will be useless anyway.

I suggest changing name from “eternal realm” to “garbage dump”

That’s exactly why Arpgs or how blizz calls D4 “MMOARPG” won’t ever have a lot of players interest in staying … Season should have long ago be on 1 realm and not a seperate “Seasonal realm” its stupid idea to wipe each time a character and send him to garbage dump realm instread of just getting the toon rid of the “Special seasonal powers” and keeping him for next season…

Especially when they are so fast paced nowadays.

In Diablo 2 you could justify a fresh start every ½ years. The game is kinda slower paced at least if you play self found so it takes a while to build your guys.
You can also find items for every class in the game… so sometimes you get a nice set of gear for another class to roll next.

This! Playing D3 I could gather some nice gear from the season and build a strong character in the non-seasonal (a.ka. eternal realm). But now each season turns the previous gear into “legacy” and becomes useless.

Please, STOP!

I didn’t start playing D4 until it arrived on Xbox Game Pass (during Season 4), so I was also rather surprised to see that my eternal realm characters had had everything other than gems and potions marked as legacy. I thought it had to be a bug.

From my reading of the patch notes for Season 6 I thought this was only going to apply to Sacred items and others would have their overall value capped at the new maximum and the other values re-rolled.

Of course now I understand how this game works. The eternal realm is a complete waste of time. The characters might as well be deleted at the end of each season.

From what I’ve read here and elsewhere it seems that every time Blizzard ‘re-balance’ the game a new group of players realises that the hours of grinding are basically pointless and nothing has any value beyond the current season. This time it’s our turn to discover this.

Armed with that knowledge I feel like this is the beginning of the end for me with this game already.

The best analogy I’ve read was from a player who said he now felt like Sisyphus pushing his boulder uphill knowing that as he got to the top, it would be pushed back down again by the gods (or Blizzard at the end of a season in this case).

At least we’re not condemned to play D4 for all eternity.

You guys must be playing a different eternal realm.

Took me two days to get my favourite character to max level. (I only play eternal.)
More stuff, more options, gear is better than ever, never had a stronger character.

I hit a ceiling with my previous build and the reset breathed new life into it.

Do you understand what a stat squish is? The numbers have been scaled down, but it doesn’t mean your weapons or character became 10x or 100x weaker.

If this was first time since D4 premiere, then sure, ok. But this happens every season. I’m not some Blizzard’s hamster in a spinning wheel. I need my efforts to be preserved not disappear every two months.

They really, really should part with the stupid idea of seasonal realm and just run seasons on eternal. Leveling the same characters on the same maps doing the same quests and running the same dungeons over and over again is the very definition of boredom. D2, for example, at least had procedural maps.
Just let me partake in seasons with the characters I already invested in.

they SHOULDNT become legacy again. 2 seasons in arow major changes happened making them useless but thats not supposed to be the normal way.

with seasons running back to back i guess its only there for the afew people that just dont like wipes and refuse to play seasonal.

back in the day (when all this was fields) i would enjoy bring seasonal items back to standard/eternal to combine them and make impossible builds but for some reason that thought we were having too much fun and make all items not come back.
they need to do this again seasonal gems/gears/powers ect so we can bring them back and play.
