It's…refreshing, having come off a never-ending treadmill where you constantly feel behind in other live games. That’s exactly when you should come back and check out Diablo 4 fresh.” “When a season rolls and there are new things for you to come out, that’s a great time to come back, particularly if you had a good time playing before.

“When you’ve reached all the goals and done the things you think are really important, and you want to go take a break to play something else for a little while, that’s fine. In a recent dev livestream, Diablo’s Joe Piepiora gave a widely circulated quote about how it’s okay to stop, to take a break from a game and come back later on when there’s new stuff you want to play. Your time invested still leaves you with a permanent result.Īll of this feeds into the idea that the Diablo 4 team does not especially care about never-ending engagement like other live games. If you want to return to that character down the road, or keep leveling them after the season ends, you can do that in the eternal realm. So if you’ve finished the battle pass and had enough of the central mechanic you can just…stop. A big benefit to Diablo 4’s seasons is that you are not losing your seasonal character you’ve been grinding at the end.
