paragon is like extra levels beyond max level that give u a skill point in for certain bonusses/stats when you hit max level you start gaining xp and say you start anew char you get the plvls on it but cant gain xp for it til 70
it was one of their attempts at a panic fix back when classic on pc was absolute shit and everybody was quitting becasue the game was too hard and everybody farmed to find fuck all
ROS made d3 playable but honestly to play it for the story its pretty meh imo most people just run ubers or bounties or farm rifts and paragon lvls at 70
people that play hc seem to play hc becasue its almost guaranteed you will die and then you cant get super bored of a character if they die

its not bad not great on pc idk about console most of the hate comes from classic ROS really turned d3 around and gave it hope
