People saying people are stupid for expecting anything else.It is the first time ever Diablo has a battle pass. Name another game where you have to start from scratch to unlock stuff in a battle pass.I don't have d4 yet, but I wouldn't mind buying the BP idf it was cheap enough and had cool stuff.But the BP costs money, and if its only a small part of the community that does seasonal resets, and not everyone of these will buy a BP, then Blizzard leaves alot of money on the table.
I don't know anyone that is going to play whatever the Hell a "seasonal" character is. And aside from that, Diablo IV is a waste of money. It seems like Blizznard tried TOO hard to "listen to the fans", instead of making what THEY wanted to make.

Don't see anything wrong with this. If you want seasonal cosmetics play a seasonal character, makes sense.
I'm so glad that my current character is entirely useless... Not to mention how fun it was to do all those side quests for renown... Imagine if you would have to do those all over again every season as well... Oh wait... Well time to put D4 on the shelf and wait until Blizz pull their heads out of their asses.
The fact this has to be told is quite sad and shocking. Then you have the people complaining about having to start a new character...Yeah that was a thing in D3, now in D2 and a thing is most games with seasons.
&*!@ that !@#$ i wont play season then. i always play one char and thats it i dont wanna level 30 different characters. never played any season in d3 aswell and had over 1000 hours on my monk.
Everyone seems to forget they have a "fast track" version of the battle pass that all the people who paid $100 for D4. They are banking on all the dads who don't have enough time to pay more money to finish the battle pass immediately. So who cares if you start at 1 every season. There are thousands that will pay the extra 25, 50, 75 bucks to finish the pass first day to get rewards.
Why do we have to see D4 news in the WOW retail section all the time? What is the point of doing sections if you don't use them and post everything in WoW retail...
Exactly what I find wrong with all ARPGS and the thing I was hoping Diablo4 would do. A new form of end game was needed. Not this "start from 0 every 4 months and redo the SAME CONTENT for 30+ seasons.While I do think seasonal should have some unique rewards I think there should also be a non-season path so from season to season you still have a reason to play your non seasonal characters. Because with no rewards outside of seasons why ever touch a non seasonal character? This creates a huge disconnected between the player and their character.While they said they will be adding to the story with each season so that is potentially something non seasonal could do... I doubt that would be much content. I think they needed 3 reward paths. Non seasonal progression, seasonal progression, hardcore seasonal progression. So you have unique rewards for all 3 different play methods. This would give hardcore an actual reward, traditionally it has just been bragging rights only? Very few rewards unlockable in diablo3 for hardcore and honestly they are mostly lame. So basically if they did this 3 reward path method then playing hardcore seasons would unlock all 3 at once. Or you could play seasonal soft core and unlock the other 2. Or you can choose to just grind your old characters non season and miss out on the other 2 reward tiers.But having 0 reason to play non-season is why I haven't bought the game yet. Player smarter not harder? Just like all the chumps who bought into early access when anyone who knows the ARPG genre knows that your progress upto the start of season1 is pointless. I figure when I do purchase (at 50% off because thats all blizzard deserves) I will have more story additions from all the seasons that have passed. Then I will level 1 class per season so it doesn't feel as repetitive. Then stop playing. So many people are burning themselves out now and some not realizing how seasons work are going to be extremely disappointed come season1 start
