Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
I haven't played since the xpac and even then I didn't play much. How do seasons work in this game? If I wanted to come back and play a new character should I just wait?
Edit:
Nevermind seasons are ladders derp.
Should iI just wait?

Yes, I would say you might as well wait. You'll get more bang for your time-buck if you start up in a month from now or whenever the new season actually hits. I doubt you'd want to play the new season if you started now, even though you could easily get your D3 fix in between now and when the season starts.
I have no desire to slog through a 10 year old mmo with the most complicated character builder.
Maybe if I had more free time.
Been able to to bypass that wait timer pretty frequently , to where i log in after a 30 second wait. Just keep leaving queue/rejoining till it wont let you leave and then you are locked in to where your game will start very shortly after not being able to leave the queue.

Season 4 up on PTR, essentially no wait time.
Got to 70, lucked out and found a puzzle ring at low level.
(You can cube it and open a portal to the treasure realm). I did that, just after I managed to gamble the double gem helm, so now I gots my golds and gots my gems.
New type of shrine: bandit shrine. Hit it and it spits out a bunch of goblins!

Yeah the bandit shrine was in the ptr before s4 too, was dope.
They buffed the spider set for WD in s4 apparently (also buffed the 6p bonus for the new helltooth set) but last I played it was still the old effects. Is that only for seasonal versions of the arachyr/helltooth set?

Probably. When I played my WD on the PTR the helltooth set was awesome with the 3x cast circle o' death. Made a pretty fun build out of cold damage with a rimehart / frostburn aura steal and in-geom so I could cast those cold based circle of deaths almost as often as I wanted.
Could be a lot of fun with better rolls than I had on the crap gear.

Ah yeah I got to play around with helltooth a bit. Definitely great that they made HoTS's version of the zombiewall a thing. But I was talking about themore recent PTR changes to those two sets:
I was only able to play a little PTR since S4 but locust swarm wasn't updated as of Tuesday night. I really dig that exploding chicken build and I was using swarm with it even before they announced those changes. The upcoming new weapons are prolly seasons-only tho:Blue_sl said:

I only tried it up to gr 52ish, it's clunky and I'm not sure if I had the optimal build (physical and firebats) but it was definitely workable.
Bear in mind that the cube makes a lot of oddball shit viable. I stacked cdr and slotted a kukri and the fetish belt so i had fetishes bodyblocking and 3+ zombie rings up every time.
They're buffing it on PTR to do even more damage since which is good but that change to putting the buff on the player instead of a debuff on the mobs is huge. There are a lot of situations where you can't catch the mobs in the rings and you're pretty much SOL if you tried it in one of the narrow corridor maps with lots of shit that float off-map.

Anyone have PS4 edition comment on local multiplayer? If I have PSN/PS+ I should be able to have someone else who comes to play make a PSN account and play/save chars as long as it's on the same console?
I'd probably buy gauntlet first but... the world's simplest arcade hack'n'slash game apparently takes too long and isn't out yet.

So picked it up for 30. I think I like the PS4 version a lot better. Some control choices are questionable like using hat switch clock control for gear instead of D pad. Some options are oddly missing like no way to permanently toggle on "compare" in the inventory screen.
Overall though I couldn't help but laugh when the GF, having never experienced D2 finally said: "fuck these pygmy pieces of shit".
