I did not do previous gen Diablo seasons so I don't really fully get it. If I don't want to level season-specific characters from scratch, can I still use my "permanent" ones to progress the battle pass?
No? Yeah I ain’t doing that then. Long term goal is get everyone to 100 and wait for expansions I guess
Though yeah I get the battle pass is a new aspect so Rod, Rod! Help @RodFergusson
@PaulTassi Hey Paul, yes to take part in the seasonal questline, mechanics, season journey and battle pass, you will need to create a new seasonal character. Playing campaign with seasonal character (if you so desire or need to finish) will also progress the season journey and battle pass.
@RodFergusson @PaulTassi I’m a new Diablo player and a new dad. I only have maybe an hour a day to game, if that. So my current character is only level 11. You’re saying I should basically not even play this game then right?
@putbackthestars @PaulTassi No, you should definitely play. The new season mechanics/features come after the campaign is complete so you should focus on completing it now so you can just skip it when the season starts since you only ever need to complete the campaign once.
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi @RodFergusson ok just to clarify two things. 1) That means once someone has completed the campaign and seen the credits (btw the end cinematic was AMAZING) Will never have to do the campaign again on new character in season 1 or season 50+. And 2) you mentioned that the 1/2
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi He loves players like you. You don't have enough time to do cool shit to get cool shit so he hopes you take food out of your baby's mouth to buy 28 dollar skins.
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi Gratulerer on the new dad title. Diablo games have always had seasonal content and characters, so this is nothing new. Eternal realm is great for "casual play" :). To Rod: Congratulations on the best game I've played in years, and rekindled an old D2 player's flame.
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi Good to hear, I don't ever want to do that campaign again. Parts were a great story, but not something I'd spend my gaming time on repeatedly.
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi Just seems weird To force people to create a new character every season. Especially for those who only play a few hours a week. Every season I have to create and use a weak character with hardly any skills and maybe get them to level 50 right before they’re useless again?
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi I'm sorry that no one in the comments has ever looked at poe before to understand how easy of a ride they are getting lol.
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi I thought we were to interface with the new seasonal mechanics immediately? After campaign seems a little late to introduce something that supposed to be the drawing factor.
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi Will we need to grind the dungeons and alters again?
@RodFergusson @putbackthestars @PaulTassi I hope you're going to nerf the hell out of the xp required to cap or there will be nerd rage my man
