Brother the season is 4 months long. Getting your 20 paragon points will take a single afternoon of actually playing the game.

You genuinely have no idea lol. It takes forever.

There's no reason to keep posting about it because it seems a lot of the people in here have tricked themselves into thinking this is going to be fun, but I guarantee by S3 (probably S2) they roll this back and you start with all the Paragon/Skill points etc if you've done them once, and Renown is tied to something season specific exclusively. I'm full Exploration/Side Quest/Statue completion and I think I barely made it to R5 in some zones.

It’s like 100 +normal dungeons or so if you focus on dungeons

That’s way longer than the Poe campaign for example .

Whatever you are right if you enjoy the game it will be fine

At 59:25 in the stream I'm pretty sure Ron says that ALL the account unlocks for renown are persistent. He brings up skill points, potions and the gambler bux as examples, but I assume this includes paragon points and that he wasn't referring to the things pre-loaded renown points will unlock. The pre-load is about the personal unlocks.

Edit. Ok this claim is wrong and I'm only leaving the rest of the post unedited for reading clarity. It does turn out that the +80 credits cap and +4 paragon points per zone will have to be unlocked again.

You can’t do it with just dungeons and exploration and altars in any zone, you still have to do a bunch of side quests at minimum.

They clarified that this is not the case at the very end of the stream. It's just Altars and Map exploration will give you pre-loaded renown.

No, they asked a question about it at the end of the Q&A because it was confusing and they clarified that it was this:

Ehud posted:

The renown thing isn't that confusing tbh

When you start a new season:

- Altars of Lilith carry over from your non-seasonal chars
- Map progress carries over from your non-seasonal chars
- The renown points you earn from altars and map discovery carry over
- The renown points that carry over unlock 2 tiers of renown rewards
- Side dungeons, side quests, and strongholds have to be done again to earn the other 3 tiers of renown rewards

They clarified near the end of the stream. The Paragon/obols/skill points from Renown completion (the stuff in the W menu when opening the map) won't carry over to seasons, but you will be getting a chunk of Renown for map and altar completion that will unlock the first couple of rewards immediately and then you'll have to get renown for whatevers left (probably just Obols and paragon points)

The small stuff they are letting carry over is nice, and considering the other changes they've said I'm optimistic they'll fix this in a season soon after this.

Do you have to do dungeons you haven’t done before to get the renown?

Oct 3, 2007

You don't want me owing you
Worth noting, some of the side quests occur in dungeons, so you can just double up on those for a cool 50 Renown. Plus Strongholds are 100 a pop. You can forego a good 400 Renown per region and still hit all the rewards

FWIW I do think Renown should fully carry over, but a partial reset's less bad than a full one

SettingSun
Aug 10, 2013

Someone in the chat at the end straight up asked the question explicitly if the paragon points, skill points, etc carry over. And then they spent too long crossing each other's wires to reveal that the unlocks will need to be unlocked again with renown.

I think between the Q&A and the stuff they said during the stream it works out like this:

Fog of War and Altars will count as completed, and you'll get the renown from them right as the season starts as though you did it on that character (as well as all the bonuses from Altar completion). Regardless of how many dungeons, side quests, and strongholds you've completed on your Eternal character, none of that will be marked as complete on your seasonal character and you can do them again to finish the Renown tiers.

IDK how much that is total, but anecdotally I finished my renown log in the order of statues->map->waypoint->strongholds->side quests->dungeons, and I maxed out renown on my guy right near the end of side quests in each zone. The last two tiers of Renown take forever, but the 20 paragon points you get are critical and give you a huge power boost.

It's certainly better than nothing carrying over, but considering how strong the paragon points are it is unfortunate that if you want to make your guy as strong as possible, as soon as possible, the best way to do that is to do mindnumbing renown farming instead of doing any of the cool post-campaign systems.

Just run each dungeon once + do all the sidequests that are "finish this dungeon" and the strongholds.

You can skip about 80% of the sidequests.

Last tier is iirc 600 renown

A dungeon is iirc 30 renown. There are 5 zones

So just doing dungeons for the last tier is 100 dungeons

I’m not saying anyone should do that . Just using it as a ballpark for the time it takes for that tier

If I got the numbers wrong I’m sorry !!!

I'm ok with most of what they said, it's pretty clear some of the bugs and qol they're addressing in the first 2 seasons were intended to be final before launch but they failed to make the deadline.

Strongholds will be fun to do again, side quests are pretty bleh and I'm sure maxroll or icyveins will have a list of the quickest ones and which to ignore.

No, the confusion this time is because Rod misspoke.

Ibram Gaunt posted:

I'm close to maxed out and have been doing every quest except the ones that require going into dungeons (I want all the ! off my map, damnit), there's definitely some leeway with how much of what activities you need to do.

300 of that renown comes from Strongholds
a bunch more from just discovering waypoints
