(Blizzard/Diablo Official Website)"Diablo 3"

Longtime players of "Diablo 3" should be getting ready or are already excited for the release of season 6 beginning on Apr. 29 and will end after three months.

For those who are unfamiliar, the upcoming season 6 contains updates and gear rewards that players can receive within the game. The gear rewards that are mentioned will come from the Season Journey Update. This is where players must complete specific objectives, and as a reward, will be receiving a piece of the armor set that is exclusive for season 6. According to their post, some of the objectives involve the player reaching level 70, defeating a certain boss at a given difficulty and others.

Here are the objectives that will reward set pieces for season 6:

  • Chapter III: Reach Level 70
  • Chapter IV: Defeat Izual at Level 70 on Torment II or Higher
  • Chapter IV: Complete a Greater Rift Level 20 solo"

The developers also noted that hardcore or casual players can only receive one full set piece per season. This means players must choose wisely which character they will be equipping the set piece if they play multiple characters. This is a form of retention the developers made in order for players to keep playing and returning to the game.

Furthermore, gamers and fans of "Diablo 3" who are feeling nostalgic can replay some of the past Conquests because season 6 will bring back some of them with a little twist. This is a way for the game to cater to different types of players. Some may like speed running, which is why there is a conquest challenge that requires the player to finish a level within a given time. Other players are more geared toward killing hordes of enemies, which is why season 6 offers the conquest challenge to kill 350 of them. These new experiences the player will be having will most likely attract new players to try out and veteran players to return and stay.
