Well Diablo 3 Season 6 is officially done. I managed to do very good this season. First of all, I ended up at paragon 904, which is more than what I expected from this season. In my previous blog post, I was hoping to reach paragon 888, which was my non-seasonal paragon level. With little time left, I ended up doing so many greater rifts that I pushed past paragon level 900. I think this paragon level puts me in the top 450 of all NA players for the season. This is pretty remarkable since I only play solo and don't play in any groups at all. I guess it shows that there was very little interest from the player base playing in this season at all. I would guess that there will even fewer players playing next season. My overall paragon level sits at 1035 now, which is amazing that it is above paragon 1000 now.
Secondly, when I was pushing higher greater rifts at the end, I managed to get up to greater rift 79 in the season. This puts me at rank 104 for hardcore witch doctors in North America. This is really good as well since last season I only managed to reach rank 373. I could have done maybe a greater rift 80 but I was pretty pleased with reaching greater rift 79. Thirdly, I managed to complete the guardian seasonal journey, which was the final seasonal journey goal. I didn't finish the guardian seasonal journey last season so I was pleased to complete it this season. I was worried mainly about completing a rift in 3 minutes, since it was pretty hard to do but once I did it, all I had to do was another conquest. The conquest that I chose to do was the one where you had to kill all the bosses in 20 minutes. It was pretty easy to do since the witch doctor has the Manajuma set, which makes you run very, very fast.
Overall, I am very pleased at what I accomplished this season. This was the first season that I felt that everything went smoothly. I did not end up dying at all this season and I only played one character throughout the season. I did get lucky with my drops early on in the season but after that I was just in a good rhythm the entire season. My season 6 witch doctor has the about the same number of hours played as my season 5 witch doctor but I feel more powerful with my season 6 witch doctor than my season 5. For season 7, I am kind of debating of whether or not to play a different class. With the Haedrig's gift being the Helltooth set for the witch doctor, there will be many people playing a witch doctor next season. I might end up playing a demon hunter since I liked playing with the Unhallowed set.

Death of Diablo 3
Just finishing up season 6 of Diablo 3. The season will end up closing on July 22nd. So far I have done fairly well for the season. I managed to get the Conqueror seasonal journey complete, which ended giving me the extra stash space. I have done up to greater rift 76, which puts me in the top 200 of all hardcore witch doctors. I think I am able to do a higher greater rift than that since it has been a while that I have pushed doing a higher greater rift level. I am currently sitting at paragon level 855 but I would like to get my paragon level to at least my non-seasonal paragon level, which is at 888. I only have 2 weeks left, so I am busy trying to push myself to get those paragon levels.
There has been lots of news lately involving Diablo 3. First of all, Josh Mosqueira recently left Diablo 3. This isn't good news since he was the game director for Diablo 3. There is no word on who might be replacing him (or if he will be replaced at all). Many people are speculating that Diablo 3 is now in "maintenance" mode, where no new features will be added to the game. I think this is really bad for Diablo 3 since there are no new features coming in the future, many people will stop playing the game. This is somewhat evident in season 6. This season it seems that I am doing really good but in all honesty, there are less players playing the game right now. I can't imagine many more people will continue to play Diablo 3 if the next few seasons don't bring some new changes. With less and less people playing, it might seem that you could reach a higher rank but then you are competing with less people.
With Diablo 3 entering the "maintenance" mode, there is further evidence that Blizzard might release a new Diablo game. Whether this Diablo game will be Diablo 4 or an MMO version we do not know yet. Currently, this new Diablo game is looking for a game director. There might be something that will be announced at GamesCon in August or at the next BlizzCon in November. I am kind of excited about this since Diablo 3 seems to be ending pretty soon. I personally think that this new Diablo game will be an MMO (as I wrote earlier in my blog). I hope that the big announcement will happen at BlizzCon because I will be attending that event again in November.
Anyways, I am currently rushing to finish season 6 on a high note. This weekend has double blood shards dropping so I am doing plenty of rifts and greater rifts. I am probably going to play witch doctor again for season 7, which starts on August 5th. It is going to be pretty easy to gear up a witch doctor again since Haedrig's gift for the witch doctor is the Helltooth set.
