I think it should be clarified- you dont have to start a new character if you dont want to participate in seasons. You can continue to play your current character on the eternal realm

Thank you so much for making this video! I was really bummed about having to start a new character for seasonal content and redoing all the grind, but this video has me excited and looking forward to season 1. You've been killing it with the content, absolutely love your channel

[@shawnmartin8960]

Congrats on the success man! You deserve it! It was no fluke or mistake, you haven't just been blessed with luck, you are here because you are authentic and relatable on a level where I believe both casual and advanced players can benefit from your knowledge. You have a way of breaking all the jargon down so that people like myself can more easily understand and therefore extract more enjoyment from the game overall. That said I also support you just being you and any content you release I would also be interested in viewing. You don't have to just be the diablo 4 guy, I would definitely watch other game reviews and guides you make for other games as well. So keep it up man and do what you want to do, much respect!

[@transalchemy785]

I heard you have to finish the campaign in order to participate in seasons. Can someone clarify if this is the case because I've been taking my time

[@TalonsII]

@@transalchemy785 I highly doubt that will be the case. Although if you don't complete the campaign you will have to complete it in the season, likely from the beginning. Completing it now will allow you to skip the campaign when beginning a seasonal character.

[@charlesqbanks]

I love how concise and well worded these videos are, and all apparently memorized or said on the fly, not read off a screen. Truly impressive and informative. I've actually played seasons in POE and Diablo III and this was still a helpful video because of things that make Diablo IV distinct, like the open world map, renown and Lilith statues. Thanks alot!

[@petersonpierre107]

Amazing! I'm new to Diablo and I had many questions about seasons. You have answered every single one of them , clearly and concisely. Thank you so much! Please keep up the quality work!

I don't understand the appeal of this. I work my butt off to make a high-leveled, well thought-out, and highly geared character, just for none of it to matter in three months and I have to start from scratch again if I want to experience new content??

My buddy told me I had to restart about a week ago. I closed the game and haven’t opened it since.

[@wormer104]

Meh it will likely be easier. Less experimentation more execution.

[@Cosmicllama64]

This is literally the Diablo gameplay loop. It’s pretty standard in aRPGs. Each season plays differently for the most part, and gives us a real reason to try new classes. But as the video explains, your existing characters still exist - they just don’t play inside the season (ladder boards, rewards, etc). No, it’s not for everyone, but seasons are what most Diablo players sign up for. The game to date has literally just been a waiting period for a lot of us :)

[@owisun85]

[@Gumpinn]

​@@owisun85Well the next time you go running in the hamster wheel alot of things will be different even if you play the same class. New items will open upp new ways to play and i think new world events will spice things up asweel. Also it gives me and my friends a chance to start over together rather than chasing eachother being unable to play together thanks to level gap.

[@kenallsop7502]

DM killing it as always. It's been interesting seeing a lot of confusion around seasons, I think it speaks to how many new players are trying Diablo 4. Hopefully lots of them give seasons a go - I know it can feel weird to start a new character at first, but there's a ton of fun to be had from trying out the new mechanics and re-leveling alongside the rest of the community. If you're someone reading this who doesn't have a lot of time to play, the eternal realm is perfect, but if you have time to play a bit more often give seasons a try!

[@isiaac5715]

So you can stay on the original realm and not have to start new character every season ? Just go at your own pace

[@kenallsop7502]

@@isiaac5715 Yeah, you can. The seasonal realm will have some unique events that let you level up faster, or give different gear, so it's basically a way to replay the game with new features. But if you prefer to just keep playing your eternal realm character, and progressing the story and your level there, you can just do that. When a season ends, the seasonal characters will become eternal characters too - so if someone really likes their season one character, they can keep playing that instead of playing a new season two character, if they prefer.

[@mr.neqtan]

I'm one of these people. New to the season model. At first glance it looks like running laps in old content. But if enough new things come with seasons I can understand the attraction. Does new maps/bosses/communal objectives of sorts tend to come with seasonal content?

[@kenallsop7502]

@@mr.neqtan It kinda depends on the game, and they haven't specified exactly what it'll be for Diablo 4 yet. But as some examples, one recent Diablo 2 season (yes they still support it, at least in its remastered version) added "Terror Zones" - these are actually a bit like Helltides in D4, harder areas that appear with a chance for better loot. Another season added new runewords - allowing players to craft completely new unique items that changed several classes. Diablo 3 seasons usually introduce new set items (gear where, if you collect all 4 or 6 matching pieces, you get special bonuses). The most recent D3 season that DM mentioned here has this "altar" that you had to collect specific items for, and at each step unlocked upgrades tbaf would make all of your seasonal characters more powerful for that season. There were about 30 in total, ranging from "+20% damage" to "you can walk through enemies & enemy-created walls" or even "all low-quality gear that drops near you is automatically picked up and turned into materials." As I say, we don't know quite what D4 will bring yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out. Hopefully they'll bring something particularly cool for season one to show it off to newcomers!

[@mr.neqtan]

@@kenallsop7502 I appreciate the time you took to give examples. It would be smart if season one sold the concept well. D4 seemingly attracted a wide demographic of gamers.

[@antonbowerman5940]

Best video I’ve seen in awhile. Love how thorough you are on every topic.

[@buddykaiser2380]

I've always found it difficult to find the motivation to do end game with Diablo or games like it. The reason is because I'm very much driven more by a games story to continue playing. Dont get me wrong, I also very much enjoy becoming as powerful as possible and engaging with all its various mechanics of the game but once the story is completed I find it hard to continue playing just to continue finding stronger equipment etc knowing that the story is finished. I like the sound of seasons because you said it will have new stories so I'd definitely be into that. I've just never understood the attraction to keep playing just to continuously grow stronger and stronger. Personally I don't really do anything with multi-player (mostly because I don't have any friends who also play video games like I do) on any game so I find no motivation to continue farming gear and experience after the credits roll if I'm not playing against other players. Every once in a while I'll play a game that I liked so much that I'll play new game + but its unfortunately rare. I think I might look into some videos that explain more about end game so I can maybe grasp more of what its about and who knows maybe I'll find a reason to do it.

[@hardway4475]

Reach out more dawg. I’ll be your friend :)

[@DeanGetYourWings]

Given how much time I can sometimes put into games like this, I can often touch some of the mid-late game. But having to start a new character is going to feel a little daunting. I got to level 60 in about 2 weeks, probably not grinding efficiently as I've still got 90% of the dungeons left to do. I shall give it a shot though, if they enhance XP to make that re-grind a little less tiring. It's mostly losing the Legendaries for me as they make the build and always seem to be playing catch up even past level 50, thankfully I got a ring for completing the campaign that really makes my Ice Sorcerer incredibly reliable. I can see why new people to the game, are not super happy about this though. The main one for me is doing all the side quests again as they're kinda meh. I don't really want to have to re-do them but I understand it adds content for a new season.

[@bradzukowski30]

Honestly this has kinda killed the game for me... it makes all my progress essentially useless, I was looking for a more long term game that I didn't have to regularly restart. The world progress is w.e, but now my 30+ hrs I've put into this character rather quickly won't matter.. unless there's more that transfers I just lost motivation.

[@darrelladams4886]

I’ve been holding on on starting new characters until I’ve got all my altars and renown filled. The season seems like a good time to start fresh. I’m hoping that they use seasons as Guinea pigs for new ideas with successful ones being made part of the mainline realms after

[@dominikfranke8491]

in diablo 2 you have seasonal (ladder) runewords that you can only put together during the season, which then carry over to the non-ladder server. Your character with the buffed items will carry over I guess.

[@Killer99215]

The "guinea pig" is called testing before release. Some quirks can be worked out post-launch of game launch and season release, but 100% of the stuff that comes in a season, will be a part of the main server (Eternal Realm) when the season ends.

I’m fine with the concept of new characters for seasons. Only dislike for me is how quickly they’re releasing season 1. With the game releasing and having so much to do I won’t be ready for a seasonal character. However after maxing renown and finishing my build on my “main” character I don’t feel like a new character every 3 months is an issue. But the game has just released and there is so much to do and discover that we should have had 3 months to do so before expecting to be ready for this.

[@TheToxicBigFoot]

First diablo here and i gave it a big chance and had massive FOMO with friends also playing the game, i can't help but feel super disheartened that they're sticking with what apparently isn't much different from previous games, to experience the season, you need to make a character each and every season to see what it has to offer, and if you don't want to commit to that grind, oh well, tough luck i guess? That's so punsihing for those that can't dedicate hours upon hours upon hours worth of time, but want to.. from my understanding, the over-arc's of story and stuff, to treat this as little mini-DLC's is gut wrenching.. it feels like i now have to rush through my main character to get it where i want to be, before playing season 1, picking another character, doing it all over again, just to experience the campaign like missios/objectives to experience any type of DLC/Expansion feel within the seasons outside of the expansion releases.. That's so... ugh.

[@venenifer3569]

That's a fair point, but have you ever experienced the start of a new season in an ARPG? There's something really special about the whole community starting new characters at the same time every couple of months, seeing the towns and zones full of people, new mechanics, new items, new builds to try out, a unique journey every time. It's a weird concept at first glance, but only once you experience it you begin to appreciate the replayability it adds to the game

[@TheToxicBigFoot]

​@@venenifer3569 i personally can't say that i have, i usually struggle with these types of games but i took a dive and was glad i did and have poured as much time as i can into diablo 4, it's been an amazing experience so far, but as what is commonly known as just a casual-ish type of player, i can't help but feel that it's just disheartening that if i want to experience any overlapping story/extra story/continuation of arcs, i will have to repeatedly create a character, each and every season.. for me it feels like an extra level of uneccessary grind taking away from any main characters i may have on the go, to pour time into essentially what could ultimately become throw-away characters just to experience the "experience" of each and every season.. I'll give it a go for sure and try to play as much as i can and when i can, but with limited time availability coming up in the future, i can't help but feel it's time and essentially money wasted purchasing a battle pass to experience this, if it is going to be stuff that i will ultimately miss out on massively i choose not to participate in the seasons.. (Sorry for the essay of a reply)

[@axesul5131]

Yeah your main character is useless for the entirety of the new season

[@Knowledge.to_Come]

The main goal of seasons is to get new aspects that you transfer to eternal realm You can continue to make your main character more powerful after every season by giving them the new aspects once they transfer over There might be other ways to permanently boost your character or account People interested in end game and high level pvp will be doing every single season 2expansions on the way will probably expand end game greatly Lvl 100 is max lvl, but its not max power At lvl 100 you can keep getting more powerful by getting better stat rolls, new aspects from seasons too Its a long term grind where your main character never really loses playability

@@MattR8605 interesting point. Easy solution is to have set Armor not have any aspect so you can imprint what you want. Because if you remove the aspect from the set it would just get that piece destroyed. Or just not have imprints on set since that is the goal of the set, to give you bonus by using multiple pieces of said set. Either way, I'm sure it's something that they'll rework after intensive backlash from the players, it's really hard to make the right decision on these things

There are a lot of people that are confused so I thought I’d throw this out there. I know you know the details.

[@ELFottler]

You can get new gear but they will probably make "Season Only" gear that won't drop in Eternal until season is over. No way they would just release new content onto eternal, why would you even play a season then.

[@emeryalpizar7687]

He didn’t misspeak. He just didn’t spell out that to take advantage of the seasonal progression and loot, seasonal character is needed. This is clear for most watching as they purchased the deluxe and or plan on purchasing the season pass.

[@BraceForFail]

every season i've played you needed to make a new season character to get the season items. have they changed that, or were you just referring to how a bunch of people thought this was gonna be a mandatory thing and need to reroll?

[@TJPavey]

@@ELFottler in D3 I could play with my eternal char and get the stuff right away. If I played a seasonal char I would get the new seasonal set as part of the journey in addition to a lot of boosts. The eternal character even got the in game seasonal buffs. The eternal character would not get to do the journey or get the benefits from that journey. As DM said, the main reason to do the seasonal is for that journey. It’s also a good time to make a new character as there wil be buffs. Also, I’m D4 you will get all the seasonal cosmetics only in your seasonal character. So there are a lot of reasons to do a seasonal but they may not be important to some people.

[@iyziejane]

It's not a mispeak, Blizzard wants to sell battlepasses and their sponsored youtubers have to promote seasonal play.

i love to hear you because sometime it's hard for me to understand people who speak english since I spoke french but with you it's good since you articulate pretty well and don't chew the word. And you make it clear simple to understand. Thank you.

[@SoggyBeans232]

You know I understand the reason for making new characters for each season. But I gotta say having quarterly seasons is a lot of characters over the course of a year. I wonder if Blizzard could add a feature that would let eternal characters at a certain level be portable between seasons? Idk maybe that’d fuck with idea of having 4 seasons a year.

[@LoneSteezy]

Oh man, don’t even worry. 30 characters later, WE HAVE ANOTHER UPDATE COMING!!!! GET READY TO MAKE ANOTHER CHARACTERRRRRRR!

[@cjohnson3836]

You don't have to play in every season though. And your seasonal character will be ported to the eternal realm status after the season so you don't lose anything even if you only played a season part of the time. I feel like the devs are really trying to make this game approachable and provide some replay value, which would be lost if you could port a character into a season. But sometimes the diablo community creates stress on itself to constantly have progress. Its unhealthy, this isn't a job. And loot box games are addictive as is don't make it worse on yourself.

[@byus6928]

@@cjohnson3836ro being able to use your character you spent 100+ hours on dose not kill replay. For some people having to start over to get content kills the game.

All waypoints and all renown rewards should 100% carry over, i dont think any reason will change my mind on this.

[@WhitieWu]

I still think the reasoning behind why you have to make a new character for each season is ridiculous. To keep it fair, let's make it so that everyone starts at the beginning! Well, no. If I happen to begin playing the game for the first time in the middle of a season, I first have to beat the story to unlock the seasons. I'm going to be so much further behind than everyone else. What happens to the character I just leveled up during the season? Don't worry, your character isn't deleted when the season ends, they just go to a server that no one will be playing on. You're basically retiring a character that you won't bother playing again. It's just a stupid excuse to keep grinding in the game and leveling up countless alts that eventually do nothing. Best advice to anyone thinking about playing Diablo 4 is to play a character you have little to zero interest in playing and beat the story. Then when the season starts, play the character you want to play and ONLY play that character until the next season. Now choose a different character and do everything you want in that season, rinse and repeat until you've played all of the classes you wanted to play. Congrats. Did you have fun? Now ask yourself if you want to keep doing that or just quit the game and go do something else.

[@jordangreen7198]

The goal is just to get as far as possible bro and even if u don't get to 100 eventually thier will be gear sets and new aspects ul get to play with and now that u finished the campaign it's 10x faster to level up bro trust me. I got my alt to level 50 in 3 days barley trying watching Netflix soloing lol ur okay. U need friends will help to. U on xbox?

[@iyziejane]

yeah they got you with the battlepass. It's always like this with Diablo, unless you have tons and tons of free time it's best to ignore seasons and stick to the eternal realm.

[@Hanging_Brain]

D4 came out june 6. Thats 16 days ago. Barely over two weeks. Seasons last 3 months. Thats 12 weeks. You made it to level 50 in 2 out 12 weeks. Do the math. I think you are gonna be okay.

[@vafladur]

So have to do the same quests, explore same places, kill same mobs. To give all your time for what? To try a new build? I seriously can't understand seasons. It's really stupid to me. Why not make a season for the people that don't want to start over? I don't understand how people are ok with that.

[@einsp227]

Yeah, it’s really odd to me. You spend the main game getting the gear, gems and have your character as powerful as possible only to have to make a new one for the season? Why they just can’t add tougher challenges throughout the life of the game like a Destiny or something is beyond me.

Keep up the good work! Enjoying your content and finding it useful!

[@RawDiggityDawg]

Each class has so many ways to build and play if you aren’t looking for the meta build which even the meta changes. I personally don’t want to make a duplicate class just to play seasonal content with the class I like the most and trying to perfect that i’m sinking all my free time into. It’s cool they keep your class after seasons but what’s the real point if you don’t make a new class? If you play the same class you’ll have duplicate of the same class after season when you can already freely swap builds/gear on 1 and then even after the season ends since they get sent to the same realm. I feel this is a long term problem for people that don’t want to or simply just can’t grind a new class but love this Diablo and the class they are playing now. So what do those people do now then? Even if you had the time to make a new class each season because why play sorc and regrind sorc 2-3 seasons in a row that’ll only last for 5 seasons if a new class isn’t added because idk if the game/class is deep enough to make multiple of the same classes viable long term while just cranking world tier and gems up a notch. I’ll be making a new class but I’m not a causal player.

[@LoneSteezy]

I’m just gonna uninstall the game when this drops, Me personally, I have 6 days play time in Diablo so far, I’m only level 72 lol I work full time.
