Cycles and 'standard cycle' suggestions

[AngryEvilCookie]

I know you planning to add “Cycles” into game in the future, but if that would be like you said in poe leagues or d3 seasons that would be bad for people who don’t want to start fresh new character every X months for new mechanics. I suggest simple (on first sight) solution: when new cycles began add new cycle mechanics into “standard cycle”. That’s all. Who want to play new chars, speedrun for place or anything else can start in new cycle. All others who don’t want to loose they ‘2 years’ progress of character just get new things. This is standard mmorpg feature, like wow or any other. They are just without cycles All new features for everyone! Think about it, please.

I believe they’ve already stated that they plan to do this. If a dev would confirm that would be great, but I think I remember hearing this on an interview and potentially in Mikes Friday streams.

Mike did mention this several times on the stream for sure.

While I don’t have any strong feelign about it, something little extra t ospice up the new cycle compared to the standard would still be cool.
Just to give people a small incentive, even though not the “main feature” of the new cycle

Yup I agree, having something unique that would bring people to play the new content with a new character in the new cycle is something I want to see as well. I just hope they can manage it without making it feel like it’s a requirement for those just wanting to remain on the standard cycle.

Personally if they can’t manage to keep it like this I’d rather see new content be relegated to the new cycle just for a shorter period. That way the meta for the new content isn’t discovered and routed out before the cycle players can even begin it.
