One of the more divisive topics about this game has been how to handle the seasons going forward. I will try to make a few suggestions.

  1. Allow players the option to choose which season they go into. After they finish the final boss of the season, they should get a prompt asking if they want to go into the next season or the newest season.
    EDIT for Clarification - This most likely works best if players choose to stay in chronological order of seasons or jump to the newest seasons. Players would NOT be allowed to go backward.

  2. Give more damage tier rewards in the Final Boss Battle each season. The newer players won't be able to keep up with the older whales in ranking, but they could get more rewards from doing more damage to the boss.

  3. Cooridinate the events for every season at the same time so people are not as confused about what is going on, and they can find advice a little easier. This will help the game feel like 1 community insead of being so divided.

  4. The end of S3 shop will have Utior and S1 Pillar / Fey artifacts. Keep them in the shop every season, and just add the next event hero and season artifacts with each new season (S2 events will be in S4 shop, S3 events will be in S5 shop, ect). This will allow players access to older events so they don't feel completely left out, and they could jump up to the newest season while still having a path to earn older event items. It will take some time to save, but that is a necessary fact of a collection game.

What does everybody think about this? Feel free to constructively critique the ideas.

1 is just problem waiting to happen ngl. What if a newbie joins season 1, baited by new season heroes then join season 3 rolled for new hero, got trashed and now makes a huge fuss like ppl complaining about seasonal reset and wants to go back to season 1? What happens to the S3 new season heroes? What impact will that have in season 1 meta and leaderboard wise? Worst if they can't go back because they will always be behind 2 seasons worth of resources and grind and always at the bottom of the barrel as a result.

For #1. Players would not be able to go backward. They can either choose to go into the next chronological season, or the newest season. Once they enter a season, they would stay there for the entire completion of the season, no jumping seasons early. If they choose the newest season, they are staying with the newest release just like the early players.
Yes, the newer players who jump to the most recent season would be behind in terms of resources. In other games (Gotcha's, MMO's) the new players are behind the older players. There is no way around it. In my suggestion, players would have two choices:
A. Stay in chronological order for the seasons where they would be in fair competition with their peers but be behind on content.
B. Jump to the newest season where they would be behind the competition curve but up to date on content.

There will never be a perfect solution to have new players up to date on the latest content AND be competitive with their peers. My suggestion allows them to pick which one they prefer.
