Good seasonal mechanics should make ist to the Eternal realm. Anything else it's plain disappointing. I don't have enough time too fully experience the seasonal content and mechanics during the short run of a season.
I hope Blizzard keeps bad seasonal stuff out and good stuff in and maybe does some trimming when things start to feel over the top. Otherwise bloat will be real, you can see it in PoE. And they don't even keep everything from seasons but the game has been a mess for years.
We wouldn't want our base game to have content after all.
They should really enable the Battle Pass for Eternal realm chars. 90% of favour earning tasks are base game stuff - collect x plants, complete a Fractured Peaks dungeon, complete local events etc - which anybody could progress. That would give people something to do and please more people and entice people back more regularly than just expansions. It would be an easy win without any downsides.
they should do an in-game cash shop just for the season, with outfits you lose at the end, just to get a handle on who the biggest marks are.
Almost all of the seasonal mechanics should go core and develop a system that lets you choose a bit of which you prefer to focus on, much like the atlas skill tree system in PoE. Otherwise, diablo's end game right now is extremely barren and is in dire need of improvements. Especially a lot more bosses and better balance between classes at the end game. If they do keep adding seasonal mechanics to the eternal realm, the game will have a more rounded out end-game in a year or so even without many other changes.
I wouldnt be surprised if they don't go onto Eternal realms as that just cheapens the Seasons and makes Seasons pointless.If I can do everything from the Season in the Eternal Realm, what's the point of making a Seasonal character?I really feel as if this new wave of players is trying to dictate the direction Seasons should go because either they:
Mechanics and gameplay can be exclusive to seasons IMO. Story content, on the other hand, should never be FOMO and should always make it to the Eternal realms eventually.
They could at least add the questline to the Eternal Realm after the season.I would like to re-experience the whole story with all side-stories, when all seasons are done and expansions are released.Blizzard might have said these quests are not important (for the main story), but that is not for them to decide what is important to me.Maybe a future expansion might have references to characters that appeared in seasons.Not being able to catch up on stories will be really annoying.Like back in the day I missed a TV episode during vacation, even though these episodes could stand for themselves, I did not get the references to the episode I missed.I hope these questlines can be started at level 1 at least. I will not level up a character every 3 months.
Diablo 4 team should be fired, this is a complete total joke
