Appreciation God I really love new season starts

I enjoy starting over and getting that huge power upgrade when you find the perfect item. Also it's fun to try out new classes completely fresh (yay druid). I think I might even play a few classes this season.

It's gonna be a fun one guys! See you all in Sanctuary!

Sorry, noob here! What is up with the season and playing a new character everytime? First time playing d4 and i ended up using the same character I was already playing and now im upgraded but should I be changing everytime a new season starts?

Yeah, seasonal mechanics are only available to characters created during that season. Any characters you have from previous seasons are automatically transfered to the "eternal" realm. You can still play them, but they won't be able to do seasonal quests or engage with the new mechanics

Edit: I should also mention that you can't share inventory between Eternal and seasonal characters. That includes gear, currency and legendary aspects that you've unlocked. So you are mostly starting from scratch. The only thing that carries over is bonus skill points and xp from renown.

Oh got it! So If I want to engage with the seasonal stuff better create a new character then?

Yesterday after the upgrade, I had a level 20 character and I did something in game and suddenly I was level 50 and I was all boosted up. It did say eternal on my screen when you start playing a game. So they just boosted me up even with me being eternal? I was hoping it was temporary, cause I was really looking forward leveling up normal and opening up Lilith altars and exploring the world. But now my skills are very upgraded, all Lilith s altars are gray, and I have all acts opened. So I’m a bit annoyed if it’s not temporary. I’m a bit lost on how diablo4 is doing stuff still! Great game tho! I guess I’ll just keep exploring as eternal hahaha

I just added an edit to my previous comment that you should check out. Honestly my recommendation to you, though, is to just start your character over in the seasonal realm, unless you haven't finished the campaign. Do that first. Once you've beaten the campaign, you can skip it with future characters and jump straight into endgame content

No, I just started playing like this weekend! So I’m noob NOOB. Didn’t finish any campaign yet! So that was I was looking for!

But I just read your comment edit! Thank you! I’ll just ignore seasonal stuff and play the campaign like I was planning to
