Leaderboards for each class are also reset, and the race to the top is on once again, something the top players enjoy immensely.

The Altar of Rites completely changed the game in Season 28 of Diablo 3 (Image credit: Jennifer Young - Windows Central) A theme so popular it was kept for the full game. Previous Seasons introduced huge changes to Followers, you could fully equip your follower with equipment and weapons, and legendaries - whilst also passively benefitting from those legendaries. For the first time ever, we got double Primal Ancient drops (the most rare drop in the game), pets picked up crafting materials, and salvaged trash for us rather than having to teleport to town amongst a plethora of other fun tweaks. In Diablo 3 season 28 we got the Altar of Rites which was another set of challenges to complete and unlocked incredible powers and boons for our players. With each Season, along with the balance changes, a mechanic is introduced that changes up the gameplay in an interesting way. New mechanics make each Season different, and sometimes we get to keep them forever You can choose whether to take part in the seasonal content, or just complete the story as it is in the base game and expansions on a fixed character. Other action RPGs such as Path of Exile, Wolcen and Grim Dawn enjoy seasonal resets that work on a similar 3-monthly time cycle. Regular fresh starts guarantee a new and exciting experience every 3-4 months. Even Rhykker had his doubts about the Seasonal format when it was first introduced to the base games, but became a believer after playing his first Season.

Respected Diablo Content Creator Rhykker explains this very succinctly in his latest video on the controversy. Moreover, each reset unites the community, creating peaks in the game’s life cycle that make players keep returning. Action RPGs are not meant for players to remain at the highest level forever and farm the same items over and over, so resets are vital to keep things interesting. The resets also keep the game fresh, preventing it from becoming stale. Seasonal resets create fair leaderboard competition between players, allowing both veterans and new players to start fresh on an equal footing.
