| So I've been doing a little brainstorming after the goatman asked what we would like/dislike with ladders, and started thinking what would make ladders the best experience possible. We already have the reset and profile wipe, new legendaries, if they are ladder only or not doesn't really matter, still be released with ladder seasons. And the challenge (tiered) rift, which as a hardcore player, I can not wait for, super geeked about this part. Still need more though. The challenge achievements were always pretty fun for me, added a little spice to the game, such as kill the butcher in 1 minute on torment, don't get hit by any abilities, etc. Now with ladders we could expand upon this idea, with ladder challenges, a set of ladder specific feats that you have to accomplish within the length of the ladder season for x reward, we'll come back to that part later. So I've come up with a few challenges of my own, and would love to hear more from the community and what you guys would think would be fun. Here's my ideas: 1: complete every level 70 crafted set within the ladder period. 2: complete 1 class set. This would be easier with trading, but could still get it done in a 3-4 month season. 3: level a character to 70 on softcore and hardcore, or maybe level one of each class, either or 4: kill every act boss on torment 6. Could make it torment 3 or higher to make it accessible for everyone, but if it were me, I'd say t6, the end of season push to kill all of these guys on t6 would be awesome on HC. (These are challenges after all) 5: reach paragon 200. A number feasible for everyone in a 4 month season (seems like a good length, why I keep referring to that amount of time) again I'd like it to be maybe 400 or so, but keeping it fair to everyone, around 200-250 would probably be right. That's probably enough to get the conversation started, still plenty you could add. Now let's talk about rewards. At first I thought maybe making something similar to the hellfire ring, but maybe a weapon, or a piece of a set that you can use to level new characters would be cool, add a new set piece each season after 4 season or w/e you can complete a fun leveling set for non ladder characters to use, that levels with you as you level. Problem with that is it takes away from any gear you could craft or drops you could get along the way, which is part of the leveling experience, so what else could we do? Xmog: Each ladder season can have its own xmog set for completing challenges. Something cool and distinct that you can show off. Perhaps give a glowing effect to your character, (I know people have asked for this) when you have the mog equipped. Would be nice if we could also have these available in the ladder for the following seasons. Something that would be fun to have, nothing game breaking but can keep with you for as long as you play d3. So what do you guys think? Would love to hear some more ideas for rewards and challenges that could be added to ladders to make them as much fun as possible! | ||

| Seasons offer a lot of potential, and brainstorming unique challenges for them can lead to some great discussions. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this thread, and I look forward to seeing what interesting ideas you all come up with. | ||
