I play it every time I start up a new game, but I never get any of the Season stuff. Its no different than the main game.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure D3 was what Digimon Adventure 2's digivices were called.

Basically, you have to designate the character as a "seasonal" character from the start. You check the "seasonal" box with the green leaf at character creation. That gives you a season-only stash that can't cross over to your non-season characters (until the season is over) and you don't get your paragon benefits until you earn them on a seasonal character.

This also unlocks a progression check-list with stuff like "raise blacksmith to max level" or "clear a greater rift of level 10 (or something)

Once you finish out most of those goals you'll start unlocking the bonuses like pets, banners, and Set Pieces.

Your character is Seasonal if you have a green leaf next to it on the character select screen.

i played last season for the first time in a long time. had by far my most successful character. lost all her stash when she went standard. wtf, a little warning would have been nice. RIP a few primals.

trying to build the same build this league, but the set isn't the free one, so I've only found 2 pieces so far and I'm getting bored in T1 hell.

Are you saying you never complete the tasks to unlock the rewards or you never receive them after you've unlocked them?

You have to designate a new hero as seasonal or rebirth an existing one (they lose all their levels and gear which is placed in a temporary mailbox that your other non seasonal heroes can collect it from)

What separates Seasonal from Non is, beyond a competitive nature, there are seasonal milestones that earn you rewardssome cosmetic, some gear. So basically its a way to have a new clean leaderboard every so often, build up a new character, and earn rewards.

Go to the seasons journey menu. You will see a list of objectives you must complete. The first chapter doesn't have a loot prize, but 2-4 do. Once you complete all the objectives for the chapter, in the seasons journey menu, select claim reward. You get a full set of gear. (2 pieces from every chapter)

Season mode is basically a way to prolong the game's life by giving you more reasons to rush to the end game stuff. The most fun is trying out different sets and see which ones mix and match the best (which was what made last season so fun).

Okay, I'll take a look. Like, I know what you're talking about, but I could never finish any of them. Maybe because I speed through the Chapters too quickly and don't grind? I'll have to see what I need to do

If you hit shift-J you will see a list of stuff you need to do to get the rewards. I think its <- on the directional button on PS4, not sure though.

You don't even need to do the story if you don't want to. And a heads up I don't think you get a reward for the first season chapter.

Here, this may help

Yeah, the chapters don't relate to the acts, at all. It's actually better to start off in adventure mode.

Its to encourage you to play more even when you already have maxed out characters to get more things. Key being specific pets, wings, and stash tabs.


It has the opposite effect for me. Every time I get the Diablo itch I boot up and see it's the middle of or the end of a season, so I just don't bother.

Start on expert? Is that what you mean?

Yes. And don't do story mode, do adventure mode. That's where you do rifts and bounties, instead of the quests. Much better XP and loot.

Yeah I usually start in Adventure (Expert) and do some bounties. The rewards will snag you some helpful crafting recipes like Cain and Bornes Sets that give you EXP buffs. Dont forget to keep rubies socketed in your helm too for more EXP.

After that Ill move to doing Rifts playing with different skills as I level up. At level 60 youll start getting those Essences too which will help with those last couple merchant levels and for extracting legendary powers in the cube.

But hell, sometimes I say screw it and just play through story mode on a new season. Its slow but I enjoy it. Im usually like mid level 60s by the time I beat it so Ill finish leveling to 70 and then defeat Mathael for the guaranteed legendary.

Seasons mean nothing because D3 killed the trading economy because they wanted a bland loot system with a narrow endgame.

Its a gimmick they added to make D3 more like other ARPGs that are actually good but doesn't actually add anything.

I'm salty because I hate what they did to this franchise.

When playing adventure mode youll notice two things. Theres a large stone pylon in town, and if you hit M to bring up your map theres locations with an !. Interacting with the pylon gives you randomly generated dungeons (Rifts). Going to a location on the map with an ! will start a bounty (a mission goal will appear). Completing Rifts or all bounties in an Act gets you rewards.

You shouldnt have lost anything. Log into a standard character and get everything out of the mailbox.


thanks again for this. they apparently decided that it needed a timer. it wasn't close, yet, but I doubt I would have noticed before they really did go poof.
