Changes since the last season
Every new season, we are trying to bring something new and unique to make it different from the previous ones. This season will be no exception. The "back to the roots" concept worked pretty well last year, so we're going to take it further.

The main goal of this season is to give you the opportunity to compete for the usual Interlude milestones:

 

 

• Raid bosses
• Giant's codexes
• Life stones
• Enchant scrolls
• A/S-Grade items

The methods of obtaining these items will be closer to the standard ones (according to the interlude chronicles), so will be more competition and completely different gameplay in comparison with what we usually suggested. At the same time we want to bring more advertising content for everyone!

PvE Events
Almost everyone knows what is "champion monsters" - the strong monster with huge amount of HP and better drop. We took this idea as a basis but developed it further. We added elite monsters which will have random set of modifiers. It can make them unpleasant for some classes and convenient for others. And if "blue" monsters can be defeated alone, then on "red" ones you will need a group or at least a healer. Sure these monsters will give you huge EXP and drop. More details will be later.

PvP Events
Don't like grind monsters? Register to the TvT/PvP events, gain points, take prize places in the season and receive valuable rewards! This autumn TvT seasons available from first weeks of the server. And as mentioned before we will add new type of 1x1 pvp event, where you will fight your enemies at olympiad arenas but with full buff. The longer your winning streak - the more points you get, but the more difficult the opponents will be.

Epic Events
Also good news for our players from North and South America. You will have an alternative versions of some Epic bosses in your time zone. Alternative Queen Ant, Core, Orfen and Zaken will spawn few hours after the original boss die. These alternative bosses will have slightly different but still valuable drop. This way there should be more opportunities for players from the other hemisphere to take part in epic battles. We hope you will enjoy it!

Finally, it is worth noting that, unlike previous seasons, we will not be focusing on the upcoming merge with the Union server. Instead, we will try to make the game during the season feel measured and comfortable, so that you do not strive to "catch up" with Union. When the time comes, we will solve this "problem", so do not worry and enjoy the season 

Some other important changes:

 

 

• Elite version of monsters
• Alternative version of Low Epics for North and South America time zone
• Limits for boxes, maximum 3 box from 1 PC
• Reworked reward for instances
• Reduced amount of drop resourses, GC and Life Stones
• Deleted PvP zones from Left side of Hellbound
• Reworked drop on Hellbound, now mobs on hellbound dont drop adena
• Reduced chance of receiving masterwork compared to the last season

Why choose Dex?
We have destroyed the stereotypes that PvP servers live for a couple of weeks.
Our Union x50 server proves it (working from April 2020 with good online and clans fighting for Epic bosses and on Daily PvP).
We have enough high-end content that will allow you to maintain interest in the game all the time!
And we are always working on improving the game and adding new interesting activities and content.

Seasonal servers have a road map with planned list of changes to keep you engaged.
When the time comes the server will be merged with the Union server.
So if you're new on Dex, you can start from zero like all othe players on NEW (seasonal) server.
All your items and characters will be safe, and you can continue play when season over on our main server - UNION.

High-end content (unlocked over episodes)
In a month after the server starts we will open big new location - Hellbound Island.

 

 

Spoiler

Hellbound is an endgame location mostly for parties, but if you will be well geared you can farm most spots solo.
You can get to Hellbound with help of gatekeepers.
Hellbound contains multiple raid bosses and entrance to new epic boss Beleth. Drop from raid bosses and from entire island in general is very valuable.
Monsters at Hellbound can drop special Hellbound Coins which can be exchanged to some useful goods at the Hellbound Trader Joseph.

You can read more about specific features and spots from the list below:

 

 

• Talent Tree system
• Steel Citadel
• Anomic Foundry and Elixirs
• Ancient Mansion, Cursed Town & Charms!
• Beleth - Cursed Wizard
• Dark Invasion
• Holy Grail War
• Tiat (PvE Epic Boss)
• Earth Wyrm Trasken
