Blizzard should offer something unique, cool for seasonal players. The stash tab is just a pathetic replacement for that.
I don't think anyone can disagree that the rewards for playing season should be much cooler than this. Maybe give some additional rewards for players unlocking the seasonal achievements for 2-3 seasons in a row.
I agree with the fact that the stash tab is the wrong reward for players to play seasons. Stash tabs are things that NS players and HC players need more of. Seasons I believe should get the cosmetic rewards. Not sure about items only obtainable in seasons. If this was the case, I think everyone will be playing seasons sooner or later as if there was an item that was necessary for a particular build, you wouldn't want to miss out on it. I was happy with the previous arrangement where seasonal players get exclusive access to certain items for a season and NS would get access at the end of seasons.
Personally, I think cosmetics are the way to go... isn't game breaking and lets seasonal players show off their accomplishments without breaking the game.
And this is why they implemented it as they did. The goal was to entice non-seasonals to play seasons. Seems to be working from what I'm reading.
I myself probably wouldn't play just for cosmetics unless they really struck me as cool. They usually don't. Not into banners, wings are good for maybe 90 seconds and then annoying.
Stash tabs to me are a quality of life improvement to be sure, but it IS a tangible improvement.
Well, goodbye and good riddance, you elitist prick.
This sort of attitude is the bane of all online games. Another stash tab is not an achievement, it doesn't define you as a more worthy player or not, it's just a quality of life improvement that blizzard "abused" to give an illusion of a reward for playing the seasons. There should be another more meaningfull reward for those players that invest the time and effort in the seasons.
Umm, he's saying he'd be pissed if he worked for something and someone else got it for free. I have to agree with him. That's hardly elitist.
People that think they deserve it without effort think they're entitled. That I don't agree with.
However, i think he's mistaken if he thinks anyone's gotten it WITHOUT earning it. I'v worked for and gotten each and every stash tab so far. That said, I'd still say I wasn't particularly a season player. Kinda conflicted I suppose...
How long you've been playing as opposed to how often you play is a factor as well.
If you've been playing since day 1 and you don't pay attention to/care about the latest greatest super duper efficient build, you may have a lot of neat shiny items in your stash....
Using this season to buff up my Monk's gear as it's quite lacking non-season. Picked the Monk to focus on as it's not gotten much love from me in the past.
Yeah, that's a PR thing on their part. They supplied the gear, it failed LIVE and everyone saw it. I don't have a problem with that. Not a huge Quin fan but hell, I felt sorry for him.
Due to my work and family schedule I very rarely manage to play seasons in a group. So I do it solo, and stash tab is not a problem.
Would I play season without the "stash tab bait", not sure though.
Play it for the cosmetic reward, gotta collect 'em all!
Yeah, I finish the season journey completely anyway. That "little" step from stash tab to Guardian has to be taken.
Actually, this season for the first time I will try to do solo the 1 hour campaign run through.
My son and I took a half hearted shot at that and clearly we had no clue what we were doing. We got half way through act3...
From my point of view THAT is the hardest conquest...
To be clear, I don't do "mules". So yeah, I want the stash tabs.
When I say I play whatever character/build I wanna play that would never entail emptying out a character's bag first so he can play, that'd be horrible.
My biggest vice is I have a full jewelry tab. I should never have that but I seem to hang on to too much jewelry.
My goal is to have a tab for each class for sets.
Materials isn't a huge issue. Nor is legendary gems (I've seen Bagstone's LGem tab, OMGawd)
Legendary complementary items is a bit of an issue... but lately I've been more intolerant of hanging onto stuff.

"Casuals" like "me" have been playing since the original Diablo came out and need all the space they can get because they don't drop better gear, or complete sets as fast as the "obsessed" players, especially when at any given moment over the years sets are reworked.
My interpretation of "casual" is I don't give a good &^%&^ about leaderboards. I want all sets kept, so I can play any class anytime I want.
Oh, and the last thing I think about generally, is whether someone else presumes to know what I do or don't need.
Thanks Bags, I know you feel me.
And this "casual" did the whole journey last season, because it was just sitting there almost done and within reach. Nothing gained...
Well, that simplifies the process and makes retrieving the bags more efficient from a gearing/level aspect I suppose. Hard part is NOt opening the dang things.
Did a bonus act in T11 or 12, cannot remember but it yielded just over 1mill gold, soooo 50 bonus acts = conquest? About 100 caches total. Did a quick look see for those that are squeemish on space and I have three completely empty tabs on the back side, and room for 165 or so caches if i go nuts.
One question, will gold gear affect yield AFTER the ACTS have been run, change out before opening?

Your only option is to "rebirth" the character, and get your stash tab in less than 30 days, so you can reclaim your stuff from the email.

Easiest way is to have another monk who's memorized the run dash to the chest using the speed shrines and a DH to help kill after the chest is opened.
