Thankfully the Diablo 3 economy isn’t ruined by dupes and hacks like it was in Diablo 2, where the idea of ladder resets originated, but lots of players enjoy rebuilding and proving they can gain climb “gear up” mountain. The most basic and obvious feature of Seasons is the chance for a fresh economy and leaderboard. What about the rest of you? What’s the appeal of Seasons for you? (And if you’re not interested in Seasons, that’s cool too!)

While I’m torn between Crusader, Monk or Barb for Season 2, I know I’ll have to pick one (just because that’s how I roll). My own approach for Seasons is to take a single class and see just how far I can take it over the course of the Season. One of our design goals for Seasons is to give players the ability to experience a fresh start, and it’s exciting to see how the posts above highlight that idea in different ways.

Some players are looking forward to the competitive aspect of Season 2, some want first dibs on new Seasonal Legendary items, and some simply missed Season 1 and are ready to join in the fun. What’s so interesting to me is the variety. I think all of these are good, valid answers to the OP’s question. …I skipped season 1 and I’m planning on playing as a Monk or Demon Hunter neither of which I really played as before. …chance to start fresh, new items, new gems. The true incentives for seasons are the chance to start over and the competitive aspect of the leaderboards.

Why is there hype for the new season? is there anything special about it except those new uniques (most of them are brimstones)? Did i miss something or where does the s2 hype comes from? For me it just sounds like farming furnace, rrog, soj and the setpieces all over again.

Season 2 is “coming soon”A fan asked why there wasn’t more game-changing new content in Season Two, and got replies from player and from a Blue.
