Season 2 bliver kortere - introduktion af 'Eras'
Blizzard har introduceret os for en ny term i form af 'era' - og fremtidige seasons bliver kortere end den første.
Det var fra starten meningen, at seasons, herunder Season 1, skulle vare 'et par måneder'. Som bekendt blev det til mere end 'et par'. Når Season 1 slutter i februar, vil den være over fem måneder gammel. Sådan bliver det ikke i fremtiden, hvor seasons vil være kortere, som det oprindeligt var intenderet fra Blizzards side. Nogle faktorer bevirkede, at den oprindelige tidsplan blev sat ud af spil. Det fortæller Nevalistis på reddit;
I hope season 2 doesn't last as long. I quit around early November. Diablo 3 isn't really a marathon game to me, something fun to play for a bit, but it gets really repetitive after awhile.
I am however ready to play some season 2!We agree Season 1 was too long. We had originally planned on a few months, and things just didn't go as planned. We're aiming for the "few months" again with Season 2.

Om 'a few months' svarer til to, tre eller fire måneder, ved vi ikke.
Alt imens Season 1 går på hæld, har Blizzard samtidig introduceret for et nyt begreb i form af 'eras', som er en betegnelse for den periode, hvor non-seasonal leaderboards vil være aktive. Når en era er overstået (hvilket sker op til begyndelsen af en ny season), starter en ny era, hvor leaderboards altså bliver ryddet. På denne måde bliver konceptet med nye og rene leaderboards i seasons trukket over på non-seasonal, så der i forbindelse med slutningen og starten på eras også vil være noget nyt at arbejde hen imod for spillere, der ikke spiller på seasonal characters.
Vores danske ven Vaneras uddyber konceptet i citatet nedenfor.
The end of Season 1 is fast approaching, and with it, the end of our very first Era.
In Diablo III, an Era refers to a specific period of time in which non-Seasonal leaderboards are active. At the end of an Era, all current non-Seasonal leaderboard standings will be wiped and players will be unable to attain new leaderboard ranks until a new Era begins. Similar to Seasons, players will be able to view previous rankings in-game and as well as on our website (http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/rankings/era/1/rift-barbarian).
Our first Era will be ending alongside our first Season. We currently anticipate the earliest date for the end of Era 1 (and Season 1) to be Tuesday, February 3. Era 2 will begin immediately after the end of Era 1, while Season 2 will begin sometime after the end of Season 1.
At the end of Season 1, all heroes created during the Season will become non-Seasonal and will be immediately able to compete on the Era 2 leaderboards. For more information on the end of the Season and upcoming Season rollover, click here (http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/17152343/).
Thank you for participating in our first Era! We look forward to seeing you in Sanctuary.
