There are literally zero reasons, imho, to make a NonSeasonal Character when the season is still going if your goal is "get powerful". Playing Solo, you can be crushing T13 within 5 hours of creating a character in Season. Out of season it's gotta be like 20+ The season has two weeks left in it. My advice would be to get a PL to 70 (this should take approx 6 minutes) and then do your Journey to get your green gear.

He’s right anyone who completed the Season Journey is absolutely capable of slaughtering a T6 rift by farting on their keyboard.

I have never gotten the obsession with "seasons," all it does is split the player base up and it's a band-aid for the total lack of end game content or variety in the base game. Once you've put a character to 70 and have the good set(s), which doesn't really take long, the game's done, there's no point in rolling a second monk.

One great thing that Challenge Rifts have done is force everyone to realize how much faster it is to Speed Run a rift than kill all trash in it. People probably don't realize that you can spent 2 minutes in a rift if you wear Nemmies and just hunt elites and Shrinesdont even fink about it posted:I have never gotten the obsession with "seasons," all it does is split the player base up and it's a band-aid for the total lack of end game content or variety in the base game. Once you've put a character to 70 and have the good set(s), which doesn't really take long, the game's done, there's no point in rolling a second monk. It's like a 99/1 season/nonseason split so don't sweat the playerbase split too much. Apart from that, it's exactly what you described - the game plateaus in fun after about 40 hours on a character so why not just repeatedly do the Fun Part every 3 months! I don't at all agree that the game is "done" once you've got all the sets. Have you ever gotten a 2nd copy of an item to drop and noticed it was better than the one you had equipped?

I like the structured goals they give you to progress (along w/the free gear) and with the variety of builds every season I never play the same build twice.

If you wanted to participate in a Chicken Tendy eating contest, would you rather join Contest #14 that's starting fresh in June, or would you join the one that's been in progress for 6 years and the current leader has eaten several thousand tendies

Well sure, if you play with other people- like who the gently caress would ever do that (I’m so alone) Seriously though he is right seasons are a blast. I’m a bit jaded right now but it’s fun to dip back in.

I have Diablo 3 on Xbox and PC now. On PC is my try hard characters where I min/max and copy the flavor of the month builds. On Xbox is where I just chill on the couch and equip whatever has the green arrows for damage and defense, I put zero thought into anything.

Yeah, it is a band-aid, which the game sorely needs. It's not ideal, but it's pretty much the only thing that makes the game remotely worth playing.

Yeah but what do you expect from one game that's six years old? I've sunk hundreds of hours into this since launch and I would only reasonably expect 40 hours from a AAA title, tops

The game is at its strongest when it's about playing around with builds using a pretty complicated set of variables (power list/power subcategories/sets/set-independent items/kanai/end-game gems). IN PRACTICE, you always eventually use the two sets that give you a 30,000% damage bonus and which the end game can't be done at all without. Getting a set component that is 0.1% more DPS than your last one is... Not a great value add.

I would be fine if every season they just hit a big old randomizer button that mixes up the values for all skills and item bonuses and then just let the player base figure it out from there.

Your "meta build" is BAD because it can only get better from 0.1% marginal upgrades My "home brew" build is GOOD because it could get significantly more powerful by switching to a meta build

Every time Blizzard hits that randomizer, the game will play like an average Challenge Rift, only worse, until the new meta gets figured out.

The Disgaea solution is "you will not reach the actual endgame and if you do you'll probably just quit until the next Disgaea game comes out."
