Never understood this rationale. "People should pay us more money to play the game they already bought less"?

I maxed out renown and beat the campaign on softcore...

If I want to play Hardcore for season 1 do I have to find all the shrines, discover the map, and/or beat the campaign?

Paying money not to play a game is pretty much a time honored tradition in monetization schemes at this point.

Why not have waypoints also be perma-unlock? Or at least the non-stronghold ones?

Only the first two reknown tiers will carry over, because of rep you've earned from exploration/statues, with a sliver of reknown to earn for the third tier. That's all that carries over. Hopefully we can bitch enough that this is the only season where that's the case.

Kinda. The horse does carry over to sc, you keep some waypoints, and if you beat the campaign in hc you don’t have to beat it again.

I got a 4 essence umbral ring on my level 80 bone necro and it's stupidly good.

I'm vaguely considering dumping bone splinters off my bar since I never need it now and putting skeletons on there for fun, but I'm not sure I can keep them alive without investing more points and energy in them than I would like.

Plus you lose the DR and sac bonuses (memento mori) from that 1 set of skills by the ultimate tree. Possibly some paragon board damage.

Not sure about SC to HC, but it applies to alters. The alters thing was announced a while ago.

They announced that map discovery renown would carry over before, but I think this is the first time they have confirmed that the map reveals will carry over.

In terms of the seasonal content?

I feel like season 1 is basically something in between late D3 and current PoE seasons, which is about what I expected for season 1.

The meta the developed in early league PoE is interesting. It's about doing the campaign content as fast as humanly possible. Increasing your movespeed by any means necessary and prioritizing being able to do damage while on the move.
