Seasonal VS Casual

Copy and paste another post of people complaining about the seasons.

Your account is hilariously embarrassing, repetitive and contributing little more than childish insults. No surprise you like Diablo 4 in its current form.

where is smoke, there is a fire :wink:

no we will have both

good thing all your crying helped to bring seasonal uniques to nonseason. awesome job guys. gaming is dead because of the likes of y’all

Can you explain why you are so strongly opinionated that only Seasonal players should have new content? Even though they are not paying extra for the service.

I loved Seasons in Diablo 3 and played too many, I love the option of playing seasons in Diablo 4 but do not think it should be the only way to experience new content.

Quit playing D4 over a week ago but slowly it looks like it may be worth playing again.

Just waiting on them making the cool buffs and mechanics to work on Eternal! So I can choose to enjoy these buffs and mechanics either with my level 73 or a level 1.

After a few seasons I might feel like making a seasonal character and competing in the ladder.

the D4 seasons are made for new players and who want to try others classes and new builds not for the casuals, wake up!

No no i didn’t seasons are not boring and the proof is that everytime there is new season there is multitudes of people doing it…and when it is done no one plays the game :smiley: maybe few that likes to do standard
Same applies for POE look at it now it’s dead and not because it’s bad game but because season is over for majority of people

There is multitude of people like us too, which cannot be denied as it is evident on forums like this one and other social media outlets. If those people were non existent there would not be “casuals vs seasonal” topics popping up everywhere with full blown emotionally charged discussion on EU and US.
If that is not your playstyle, fine, but you cannot deny that lots of us play differently (all irl people who play Diablo and I know play like this. That is 100 % therefore it is majority :wink:)

Even just from this discussion, just look at those who declared themselves non-seasonal.

There is no “casual vs season”, seasons ARE casual/new player friendly. Experienced players get advantage through know how, but they don’t get to leverage 1000s of hours of grind they put in and you didn’t. Seasons are the reason why ARPGs feel less intimidating for newbies to get into. MMORPG devs are aware of that as well and thats why they have resets too, just not full resets. WoW will invalidate your gear in every single major patch and make you grind new tier, because that’s a “checkpoint” for newer/more casual players to catch up.

What people say and what people do aren’t the same thing. People are emotionally charged and invested right now, that doesn’t mean anything in a month or two. The seasons have been successful at dragging people back into the game, before seasons in D3 the game was just dying.

Blizzard can’t design the game on a vocal minority of forum posters who are upset, they design the game based on statistics and data analysis surrounding player trends. What players on forums say they will do vs what players actually do statistically aren’t the same.

A season is 3 months or so, longer than that in D3 times. You can do everything in 3 months, data shows if you didn’t have a season reset you wouldn’t log back in to play your char, and even if you did you wouldn’t play for anywhere as long as if you started fresh for the new season.

That’s why they do it and that’s why they are successful.

Nope
you clearly don’t understand what type of game diablo or poe is
it is literally a seasonal game you are minority here

What data ? Data actually shows that I would log in and pay.

You are just ignorant of the other side of the coin because you are living in your bubble.

Maybe you would, majority of people would not. That is well documented by player number fluctuations in D3 and PoE. Season start is all the rage, but after people finish building their characters and hit their goals, they are gone, until next season starts. Fresh seasonal journey is fun, looking for the last 1% upgrade to full minmax is not.

Like you have got access to actual research and data.
I can do that too:

Numbers indicate obvious tendencies among players and prove that vast majority does not play seasons. Go look it up it is well documented.

Understand the basic concept of data analysis. What you say you will do is irrelevant, they track player trends across all players, they track how long you’re online, when you’re online, what you’re doing when you’re online, how long you spend afk when you’re online, how long you play for before you take a break.

Everything is tracked and fed into data analysis tools. They don’t go to the forums and see what people say they are doing, the vocal minority is just that, and the vocal minority don’t even necessarily do what they say. This isn’t anything new or special, these methods are used across industries as basic standard practice, if you do any corporate training in marketing or analysis you will learn these methods on day one.

You can’t trust what people say, but you have data for everything that people DO, if those do not align, you follow the data, which is what Blizzard will do and has done.

The data from PoE are public and how alive is non-season in D3 was pretty easy to check, before the game’s lifecycle effectively came to an end. You could see public lobbies. Try again.

I think your understanding of concepts of data analysis is limited and invalidates what you have written. Clearly you are not plugged into analysis tools that are used nowadays and this is why you made such inaccurate statement.

This statement is so inaccurate I won’t even go into details why. You need to try again.
