It’s no surprise to most Diablo fans that game director Rod Fergusson announced that you need a Seasonal character to participate in the Battle Pass and Seasonal Content. But this has caused a lot of conflict on social media between those who say “duh, this is what Diablo is about” and those who are new to the game and hate the idea of playing with a new character to get the extra content. There are some who are pressuring Blizzard to reverse their decision, which in turn, would no doubt anger the core fanbase. I for one hope they stand their ground on this and don't bend to what will eventually be a short-lived drama.
In this, albeit structured, rant — I want to convey to readers why Seasons are an essential part of Diablo-style ARPG gameplay, and I am imploring the newcomers to Diablo to play the Seasonal content and judge it for themselves. Sit down and hear me out.
Hey Paul, yes to take part in the seasonal questline, mechanics, season journey and battle pass, you will need to create a new seasonal character. Playing campaign with seasonal character (if you so desire or need to finish) will also progress the season journey and battle pass.June 19, 2023
