Season 7 was the first time I had the opportunity to try out the Champion part of the Season Journey. I gave it my best try, but was unable to complete it.
Even so, this was the farthest I’ve gotten through the Season Journey. I wish I could have done better – but I’m not disappointed in what I accomplished.
Players who want to earn the special rewards that are offered during a Season need to complete the Season Journey Chapters I – IV. It’s fine to stop after that if all you wanted was those rewards.
That being said, there is more to the Season Journey than the Chapters. If you choose to continue, the next portion is called Slayer. It provides extra challenges for players. Those who complete Slayer will unlock more parts of the Season Journey.
Chapter IV of the Season Journey in Season 7 included objectives that were different from the Season 6 version of Chapter IV. Things get changed around from one Season to the next, and I think that helps keep things interesting.
I completed Chapters I – III with very little difficulty. Chapter IV provided a challenge (and slowed down my progress a bit).
Players who reach Chapter III in the Season Journey (for Season 7) have hit Level 70 and more than likely have started working on their Paragon Points. Players start Chapter III with two of the set pieces offered by Haedrig’s Gift this Season.
I started Chapter III with three out of its ten objective already completed. I had no idea what Chapter III required. It’s possible to complete objectives for upcoming parts of the Season Journey just by playing the game and doing things you typically would do.
In Season 7, players needed to hit Level 35 before they could unlock Chapter II of the Season Journey. It is possible to accidentally complete some objectives in upcoming Chapters without intending to.
An “Achievement Toast” will pop up whenever a player completes a Season Journey objective. As always, some of the Chapter II objectives are the same as they were in Season 6, and some are new.
In addition to the Season Journey, there are also Season Achievements that players can work on. Some of the easiest ones to get are what I call the “Leveling Achievements”.
You can find this batch of Achievements in your Season Achievement board under the section called “General”. Players earn one of these Achievements starting when they hit Level 10 and ending when they hit Level 70.
Season 7 has begun! Each new Season gives players the opportunity to complete the Season Journey. One of my goals for Season 7 was to complete Chapters I – IV as quickly as I can. As such, I will be posting blogs about each Chapter as I complete them.
Season Rebirth first appeared in Diablo III right before Season 5. It allowed players to take any of their non-seasonal characters and put them into a brand new season.
You can rebirth up to three non-seasonal characters in one season. Previous to this, players had to create a new character each season.
Season Rebirth solves the problem of running out of character slots. I used Season Rebirth in Season 7 for the first time.
Season 7 of Diablo III will begin on August 5, 2016. I’ve played in every Season so far, and am looking forward to the start of a brand new one. In general, I make a last minute decision about what class to play, jump in, and see what happens.
For Season 7, I’m going to do something different and actually make a plan about what I would like to accomplish. What would happen if I went in with specific goals in mind? My decision making process might be helpful to those of you who can’t decide what you want to do in Season 7.
