Was curious to see how ppl would feel if when the xpac comes for diablo 3, that paragon levels would reset?
I think it is possible for this to happen. Being that paragon levels were not introduced at launch and Blizzard wasn't really planning on having these paragon levels to be around for an expansion. The only way i dont see them resetting paragon levels, is if we dont gain any more character levels, IE lvl 60-70. If they implement 60-70 character levels with an xpac then the reset makes sense. Giving everyone equal ground again. Then once at 70 the paragon grind begins again.
I don't think they'll reset it, per se. I think they'll make it go to 150 levels or something and then increase XP gains. This way, people at paragon 100 get a significant head start, but they still have more to do.

...and if you disagree with me, you're probably <insert random ad hominem attack here>.
I don't think Paragon levels and regular levels should be associated with each other. What I mean is there shouldn't be a paragon level requirement to reach 70, or leveling experience should not count toward paragon experience. lvl 60-61, 61-62 should scale as it would if paragon levels did not exist. Paragon exp should then be attainable once the new cap is reached.
I don't think they should reset paragon levels. If anything they will add more. While people are hitting 100 don't assume a large majority of player base will be 100 by the expansion. It will likely be a very small amount % wise. And of course count wise.
I understand where everyone is coming from, and i have no where to talk being as my highest para is only 28 followed by a para 23. But the whole point of adding para was to give players something to do after they beat the game....its end game, para level gives you MF and GF, and some stats. To me Paragon is more like a ladder in a way. Xpac comes, resetting para = reset ladder? Don't flame me for thinking it. Just keeping it constructive. and i know how hard that is in these forums =)
if they do keep it around, i can see them turning off para xp gains while leveling from 60-70, then turning it back on once at 70 or whatever new lvl cap there is.
I doubt they will make more para levels. dont think they wanna beef up the mf/gf cap much more than it already is at
I highly highly doubt they'll reset paragon levels. Blizzard wants to create reasons for people to continue playing the game, not give them excuses to quit it.
That being said, I feel that if they ever increase the level cap, say to 70, they'll likely just add a new checkbox in the gameplay options called, 'enable paragon xp' and the default would start as unchecked. While it's unchecked, you'll gain regular xp and be able to progress from 60 to 61 and so forth. If you decide to check the box, it will re-enable paragon xp while putting regular xp on hold so you can continue to grind out paragon levels if that's your preference.
This way, it's possible for someone to be lvl 67 (82) and at any point you want to begin leveling one over the other, you have the choice to do so.

Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness,

I remember hearing somewhere that blizzard said they didn't plan to raise the level cap in the expansion. I can see a raise in paragon level, but that would probably mean a raise in MF cap or you lose part of the reason for leveling paragon.
The main point of paragon levels was to gradually make MF gear obsolete.
My predictions:
Paragon levels will stay exactly as they are. If they add extra levels in the xpack, paragon level/XP will just stay as it is until we hit the new cap... but the only real point of levels is to gate skills/runes. Hopefully there'll be new ones, but with a more imaginative way of unlocking them than 'go smack some trash in the face until you magically figure out this new move'.
I know I am going to take some heat for this but I say they add a "prestige" mode and offer up a special item, account bound for each prestige you make. Yes, I know, it's akin to the COD way of leveling up but think about it, if they made the paragon levels a touch easier to achieve but made 10 prestige levels you could essentially paragon to 1000 before obtaining that prestige level 10 uber item. It's just a thought.

Actually, I was going to suggest something like that. Although, instead of an item I'd say they could make it so the (voluntary) reset at plvl0 reduces you to something above what a normal lvl 60 plvl0 is (so when you get back to p100 you're stronger then you where before, or they add some sort of ePeen attraction. Maybe it's an honorific title (like the sir in D2). Maybe it's something decorative added to your armor (like the honor badges earned in Space Marine (the game)).
I think resetting the paragon would just be a bad idea, cause they've already said they wouldn't be resetting characters (no ladder seasons). That said, if they made a ladder that periodically reset, I don't think people would be upset.

Paragon levels are after all an "end game".
Thoughts?
to raise their para levels. Its like, "Ok your time that you put into paragon leveling to 100 is worthless, were gonna just reset you down
to zero again. cool?". Talk about a slap in the face. Maybe, (more of a hope) is that instead of more levels they will implement skill
points and maybe go back to itemized runes with many more different skills and effects. If they did this I couldn't care less about more levels.
Oh and new and better itemization (hopefully).

The season is underway. Don't know if I'll make it through.
Akarat save me !

Also, there will be no MF on xpack gear.
Exactly what I was thinking...this is why I feel I have to rush to Plv100 in addition to some other reason.
