s4 ends 12/30, 5 starts 1/15.
Now someone power me through last couple of chapters dammit.
It sure sounded like it was going to be a change with substance when he talked about it at the conn so I can't quite understand how when it goes live it becomes nothing more than a glorified script to delete your character and create a new one of same class/name.
I haven't played in a while and kinda feeling the itch again. What did you need help with?
That's all it's ever been to me. But I didn't hear about it an blizzcon, just read the feature lists for the patch.
He started talking about it using language like "we know how much you hate to lose all the hours you've spent with your seasonal character at the end of season" so we're adding...
There is absolutely nothing in this rebirth process that allows you to continue with anything previously done. Items still gone, gold still gone, paragon still gone. Oh yeah, you can have the same name...as if you couldn't have done that yourself.
You lose everything except your time played. It was described exactly like that.
Your items are mailed to your non seasonal side, your character is rolled to level 1 as a seasonal character and you keep the time invested.
I don't have to delete a character and make another one. I continue the journey with the character I made the previous season.
Time invested would mean things like paragon levels, possibly craftsman progress.
You get nothing that matters in game.
The time invested to the character can be sentimental to people. You get to keep playing the same character.
Foer the rest os stuff that "matters", that is what non season is for. All your progress is saved on there.
It is not the same character. It is a new character that happens to have the same name and time played.
Getting gems up to 50 should get about everything done except a couple things in the final chapter.
It is the same character. It is the exact one you made last season, rolled into the next season at level one and nothing on them. The time played is still there.
It is the same character. The data holding the characters inventory, level, and such is reset. A new character isn't added to the database, just a partial wipe of the old one.
Farm a bunch of greater rift keystones if you don't have many and we can get 55's done. Are we talking seasonal or non? My seasonal monk is much better setup than my non since I've barely played non-seasonal lately.
And has been clearly stated, for game playing purposes that means nothing and it is identical to starting a brand new character.
Exactly. Without the levels, paragon, and items it is a new character.
Superficially, sure it is a different character. But, it is the same character. It has the same unique id.
Also, finally got around to playing my monk again. Thanks to s friendly guildy, got my 6p EP 'splotion goodness.
