Feels like they needed to separate the live service seasons and the traditional "ladder" seasons in this game or I can see a lot of folk dropping off longer term.

I have no problem restarting a new character for a season. It gives a great reason to try new classes or builds that utilize the new season mechanics.

What I would want to know is what happens to the season’s “gimmick” or “mechanic” once it’s over? Like, season 1 introduces new gems and new dungeons to farm them. Fun! But is that only for the 3 months Season 1 is out and then never again?

They said some may make it into the eternal realm and some may show up in future seasons as regular additions. They don't want to state for sure as they want to see how each seasons mechanics are viewed by the players before making such decisions.

They also won't want all of them in the eternal realm because they feel like it would just make it a complete mess many season down the line.

So basically a wait and see and case by case basis. Which makes sense in my opinion.

Having to restart each season is entirely expected since it was the same way with D3 seasons.

New story content that drive each new season sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

I already like not having to grind for gear.
