People play Seasons for a fresh start / competition.
Why punish those who do not wish to partake in Every season by only releasing new content to seasonal players, it makes no sense, just give it to Eternal too and everyone will be happy.
(p.s. I do not consider new items new content, and this ‘malignant’ thing is rather minor, it will vanish at the end of the season and we will be back to the base game as we know it. Each season will introduce a small new feature which will also vanish, in 10 years time we will have the same base game with nothing built onto it, like Diablo 3.
HAHAHHAHA players of D3/POE/BDO/D2 would beg to differ. new season starts are always the moments the most ppl are playing in those games. ARPG do what ARPG will
Nah, after the 30-40-50? time “honey! I need a new phone”, “baby! I need a new car”, “papi let’s go to Dubai” you get tired, you want to chill, grow a belly and stay with the one that prepares the best food, won’t complain about your snoring and will bring a cup of tea when you are sick. That’s your Shako drop. Eternal forever!
Not quite in keeping with the analogy, a drop is just 1 perfect night, not a perfect woman, since the analogy is that the journey is the whole relationship, not an item we find on the journey. Though I do mirror your sentiment in reality.
We want the whole experience over and over again, highs and lows, see if this time it can be better somehow, different in any way,. especially of our own choosing.
Bliz mode of operation, introduce “new content” that is locked behind 30+ hours just to finish the campaign so that you can experience this “new content”, get bored after 2 hours of the “new content”… =32 hours logged so they can boast that people are still playing.
You surely know that the malignant monsters will not spawn until you’ve completed the campaign meaning you have to play for (around) 30+ hours of the same boring campaign just to unlock the seasonal features which by the way they described it will be fun for a few minutes at most.
“seasonal campaign”, what are you talking about? Oh, the new ‘side-quest’? 30 hours? Lol. Good luck with that being the case.
Good to hear it, as far as I was aware the seasonal journey involved starting totally from scratch? (Bar Lilith statues and map discovery). Guess I was wrong. Is this a recent announcement?
So the leveling path forward for new characters is to do what exactly? Tree of Whispers? Spam dungeons & nightmare dungeons? zzzzZZ
Makes me sad, can guarantee they will never improve the campaign this way.
You are an insufferable misery. Is there no pleasing your vacuous negative mindset?
You have bemoaned seasons and starting from scratch, since the dawn of Time, even when you didn’t even understand it then…
A month has passed with campfire Dev talks and Dev streams addressing all the new/casual player’s gripes.
Fog of war, Lilith statues and renown permeate to seasons, as well as the ability to skip the campaign.
Yet you can’t help yourself but thumb your nose at the Devs trying to address your complaints and be an abhorrent player to listen to, oblivious to improvements and speaking incoherently about things they changed weeks ago.
You aren’t here but for any other reason than to cry and get attention.
They could rewrite all of the code to your exact specifications and you would literally still be unhappy.
Fingers crossed his reply is a mature acceptance and a promise to improve.
Doesn’t take this long to type “sorry, you are right, I’ll work on it.”
All? No, not all, clearly. They hardly mentioned any of the issues many on these forums have raised.
Sorry that you only see negativity from me but I am here to express why I fell out of love with Diablo after three decades of love, I’d happily stop if someone official asked me to, the developers on the livestream looked pretty happy (And I liked their slightly serious tone when they said “We are listening to feedback!”).
I’m hardly going to turn around and start worshipping the game! I have done my best to mention what I liked about the game but sadly that does indeed get lost in the mass negativity I have about this game. But such talk is to be expected, if you want to converse with people who love the game go join the Diablo 4 Discord server.
Although I would of course change my tune if the developers tackled my wishes in any meaningful way… and I’d like to see that happen sooner rather than later, before I’ve Totally lost interest.
My information may not be up-to-date although I’ve watched both live streams and do not remember hearing that you will not have to re-do the campaign every season, although I did ‘phase out’ somewhat when listening to the livestreams, EG Starting with 15-20 minutes of talking about Immortal.
Yes, I still think that game buffs and mechanics such as ‘malignant creatures’ and the gems they drop should be available to the Eternal Realm and hopefully become the first in many new content expansions rather than vanishing forever in 3 months time.
Why punish those not able to start again every 3 months? Who is it hurting to give new content to all paying customers? Seasonal and non-seasonal?
Seasonal should just be for the competition.
Edit: You clearly want to help people, why not become a moderator on the main discord and help people asking for help rather than telling people who do not like they game that they are wrong. They’ve been asking for people (Last time I was on the channel, although that was 2 weeks ago).
