That is because 99% of casual players won’t bother with chat, forums or discord. So what you hear on either of those is skewed regarding playerbase representation.
Sure, but it is still more representative than “a hunch”, right?
My own theory is that people haven’t realised that you need to play Arena to get on the leader board (assuming that is true, I don’t care one bit about leader boards so I have no way to know).
For sure. There are still a not insignificant amount of players that do care about it.
And yes, it’s most likely that they haven’t realized it’s for arena only. Or are new players and haven’t tried it out yet
Anything the devs would have to offer would be devoured by those characters 99% geared a you try to find the next fraction of a percentage.
I’m not dissing your enjoyment of the game, but I can see how the devs don’t want to make new content a cakewalk for the 99% geared players (who will come to complain about piss easy the new content is and how they finished it in half an hour) or tailor it for the 99% character and then the new player is crushed by said content.
I’d imagine that one’s viewpoint is substantially different if one is sitting on a cash generating machine (Blizzard).
Yes, I am bored sitting in a pub waiting for people…
I played Diablo 3 for 10 years and not even started a seasonal char. I will play only non-season in any aRPG. I LE will not support legacy(e.g. leaderboards for legacy…) I will just quit.
I’m in the completely opposite camp, all due to D3 as well. Unless I’m given some legacy-specific reason to play legacy, I’ll just play seasonal.
It’s up to developers to figure out how to navigate this mess of their own creation. Or not. It’s not like every game needs to support the seasonal model. LE could decide to have seasons (cycles), but not actually have any differentiator between legacy/season. I’d be disappointed, but I’m just one person.
yes, this is the best solution.
You just ignored the part where I said it would make me very sad you selfish bastard!
Maybe that was one of the reasons why it was the best solution.
just up the Magic Find on Seasonal and keep the Magic Find in legacy as is.
also if you want to get people to play on Cycle just give them in game reward that is only seasonal base like special costmetic or title. I don’t think it is it is a good idea to lock content from legacy player. one more thing people comparing a free to play game to a pay game is a no no.
Ok, what the hell. I typed the below sentence
HOW DARE YOU?!
and I keep getting this;
An error occurred: Body seems unclear, is it a complete sentence?
Yeah, the forum has some weird rules/interactions sometimes. I’ve had that happen once to me as well, though I don’t recall what it was.
I think it only happens if your post is a short sentence. And maybe some sort of combination of words? Who knows (besides the forum devs)?
I just noticed yesterday that drafts are stored for quite a long time – I still had a draft from the 0.8.4 patch notes, that I could edit. I wonder how memory intensive that is, like if I left 500 character drafts on every thread, would it crash the forums?
What’s been happening a few times to me lately is that I’ll post a reply, then check others, then sometimes when I go back to that thread it will show the message I last posted in the box, as if I hadn’t posted it. I expect that if I do hit reply it would double post.
Some people have skills, others, evidently, do not!
