Developer Comments: All characters have been reset for the start of this new early access season. We have also reset the Triumph levels for all accounts.

This season introduces several new systems as we return to our roots of building an engaging multiplayer dungeon crawler. EA Season 4 & 5 introduced changes that made the dungeons too predictable and led to a stagnation of gameplay. Our goal this season is to return some of the unpredictability and mysteriousness to the dungeons. 

We have now implemented our first iteration of a random dungeon system. We will start off by using the ‘Crypts’ dungeon as the testing ground for this system while we fine tune the settings to generate compelling dungeons to explore. We plan to progressively adapt more and more dungeon biomes to work with the random generation system throughout this season. The other advantage of this system is that it significantly reduces the overhead to add new dungeon modules, which we plan to take full advantage of this season.

We have also implemented a continuous matchmaking system. The continuous matchmaking system means that players can join a dungeon that is already in progress and are no longer limited to entering only at the start of a session. This system gives greater agency to players so they can simply select the dungeon and difficulty without needing to wait for a map rotation. This system also allows us to more efficiently populate dungeons, leading to better quality sessions even for low population regions.

This season introduces the new Sorcerer class. The sorcerer is a master of the elements and can weave together multiple spells to devastating results. Please note that the current implementation is a work in progress as we build on offering a unique spell casting experience.

We have also added several improvements to give players additional goals. A new item socket feature allows users to customize their items by infusing the power of gems. A new achievement system allows adventurers to track special accomplishments with the future goal of unlocking cool in-game rewards. We’ve also updated the quest system, so progress is now synchronized across all characters on an account.

We have a lot of exciting updates planned for this season. Prepare for the inaugural season of the Arena with a full ranking system and rewards. We also plan to augment the Religion system to offer more incentives to donate to a god of your choice. Now that we have a better handle on the item balance, we look forward to finally improving the versatility of the character builds with some big changes. We thank you for your support and see you in the dungeons!
