Diablo 3 Season 18 Start Date – New Rewards and Improvements

PS4 and Xbox One users will get a new season of Diablo 3. Season 18 will also be coming to PC and Nintendo Switch. The next D3 event from Blizzard will see players receive various rewards and Legendary item updates for the new season.

Season 18 + Rewards Launch

Blizzard has announced that Season of the Triune will start on the 23rd of August but not all platforms will have access to the new season at the same time. In an unexpected twist of events, PC users will access the new season first, with console users having to wait a bit. Usually, gaming content comes to PC after the console players are nice and happy.

The new rewards will be available for PC players first on the 23rd of August ant 5 PM. The devs have coordinated the launch so that users across the planet will have access at the same local time. So, if you run the game on PC, the new rewards will launch at 5 PM, your local time.

Blizzard have put Europe last on the list to get access to season 18 as the event for the UK launch will take place in the UK at 1 AM, on the 24th of August. The rest of the world will have access to the game on the 23rd of August at 5 PM Pacific Time.

3 months to play the season

There is no rush to complete everything in season 18 of Diablo 3 because it will run for a few months. Plenty of time to get those side quests solved. Blizzard have commented on the duration of the season:

“We are no longer providing anticipated end dates for Seasons. However, we are committed to keeping Seasons roughly three months in length (give or take a few weeks based on development needs) and will continue to provide a minimum of two weeks advance notice for when the Season will be ending.”

Class set rewards

The successful completion of Chapters 2 through 4 will reward you with three of Haedrig’s Gifts. Class sets are contained in each of the gifts. A class set can be unlocked once per season by opening a gift. So, have a think about what you want to rock in Diablo 3. Here are the sets from Haefrig’s Gifts in season 18.

Haefrig’s Gifts Class Sets

  • Barbarian – The Legacy of Raekor
  • Crusader – Armor of Akkhan
  • Demon Hunter – Embodiment of the Marauder
  • Monk – Inna’s Reach
  • Necromancer – Pestilence Master’s Shroud
  • Witch Doctor – Zunimassa’s Haunt
  • Wizard – Delsere’s Magnum Opus

Pagan Online Is More Than We Expected, More Than Diablo 3

When Uros Banjesevic, the creative director from Mad Head Games, tells us that Pagan Online is not the same thing as Diablo 3 and its ilk because of three things, it was not that easy to believe him.

The yardstick of Blizzard is used to measure every action RPG, and the success of the Diablo series is what developers want to emulate at the same time as they try to be something else. This balancing act is not natural and even Path of Exile which has become one of the most successful games on PC, took a while to forge its own identity, a few years, to be more precise.

However, our skepticism has been eased after a few hours spent squashing spiders, demons, and warlock in Pagan Online. Any soling action RPG should be able to provide this to the players, plenty of loot and cool combos in crunchy combat. What was different than expected was the structure of it.

Pagan Online is not like Diablo 3, and it’s a cool game to try

Its campaign is lengthy as it has eight acts. However, on the self-contained maps, it is split into bite-sized quests which can be finished in about ten minutes. After dropping into each map, you will be fighting through groups of enemies and listen to some dialogue, and the game does not end before you battle a boss.

What is great is that you can make progress in the story even though you do not have too much time to spare because you can jump into Pagan Online.

Another interesting fact is the way your characters move in this action RPG because you can use WASD instead of mouse clicks. The keyboard movement is more flexible for a lot of people, so this was a great addition to the game which will surely be appreciated.
