Did we stop calling them "Cycles"?
We received a lot of feedback that referring to major releases by their patch number (1.1, 1.2, etc.) was misleading as partial numbers like that didn't feel like they were as big as they were meant to be (Content expansion, environment restart, new ladders). We changed to Seasons as a familiar term to better communicate that these patches were those kinds of large content drop starts players were looking for.
Have they said yet if this will be the season that pushes characters to legacy?
When the season releases, existing Cycle characters will join Legacy, and a fresh new Season (cycle) will become available.
Yeah. They have just worked for the 9 months(from Harbingers to this next release date) and only made 3 months of work.
You have proof they stated they limited their scope AND extended their patch cycle, because that’s about the stupidest decision I have ever heard from a game that’s officially launched and past 1.0.
Season 2 will be a very large patch with a lot of new content. The misunderstanding we often see is that we took two of our previously planned seasons and put them together to make the new Season 2. That's not the case, we took planned features from all across the board to make a Season 2 that best addressed the largest areas of community feedback, rather than confining ourselves to the previously split up schedule of content additions.
as someone who mostly plays offline, I’m a little confused how seasons will work in LE in the early days. Will non-seasonal characters have the same content or will it be like other arpgs where season characters have different mechanics.
From an earlier conversation I thought I remember that the first few cycles would all be immediately put into non-seasonal as well
Currently all content additions will be available in Season, and Legacy; Online, and Offline. It's possible in the future that we may do Season only content, but for now all game modes get all new content.
