Checkpoints in Diablo 3 function similar to respawn points in FPS games. Players who die appear back at the last checkpoint they reached, usually at the stairs that they took to reach the current level, or the closest chokepoint that separates two outdoor levels.


Description

Checkpoints visible on the map from BlizzCon 2009 snippet of Act II.

Checkpoints are not spots on the ground that must be clicked, like waypoints. They aren't visible in the game at all, until your character passes through one, at which point a "checkpoint reached" title pops with flashing graphics.

You will notice it.


Checkpoints are designed to save players time and effort when they die, allowing their character to quickly rejoin the party and continue the battle. Players restart at the last checkpoint they passed through, fully equipped and recovered in health. Checkpoints are common enough that a character seldom requires more than a minute to run from one to the site of their death.
