Today we are pushing live a feature we’ve been working on for a while.  Currently there are 4(5 with Destruction) routes within each destination, today we are starting to roll out “Random Routes”!  Over the next month we will be adding 75 additional routes each week, for a total of ~300.

 

How does it work?

If you already have the Dragonslayer DLC on PC, X1, or PS4, you will start to see the new routes! As you reach each zone door, there is a small camera transition between zones as you progress through the dungeon.

 

What does it mean?
More variety, not only will each zone be in a different order you can now also start at the end of a zone and progress to the start.

Events will be in completely different areas than you’ve experienced before.

75 additional routes per week?

 

Well, someone's been busy...

[Robbiesan]

Nice.  Now that sounds cool!  Thanks BW.

[Ispan]

Yaaaaay!!! I'm super excited to see the impact this has on lag and infinite loading screens

[Malum In Se]

Thanks.  This is really going to make it a lot more interesting.  

[Felis Menari]

Sounds fantastic. Will be hopping on later to check things out. Keep up the good work!

Does it also work on Ferelden Castle?

[Proto]

Cool!

[Fiddzz]

No this is only for Elvan, Tevinter, and Orlais.  FC is a very special snowflake.

No, Ferelden Castle was built specifically to be a static path with players exploring from the docks to the summit.

[DragonRacer]

I'm intrigued.

 

You might say you could even... color me intrigued.

 

(If anyone figures out what, exactly, that color is, do let me know; I'm curious now.)

I figured as much. Still, it sounds like a nice change. Hopefully we'll get more maps in the future that take the random routes change into account.

So it's a mix and mash of all the maps? 

 

Can I ask if I open a pot or chest in the elven part of the map, does it count towards the achievement gold stars? So "Collect 1 mil gold in Elven Ruins" then when I go into zone 2 and it's Tevinter vice versa?

Nope.

What's happening is that if you get a particular route of Elven Ruins for example, Instead of the order of the zones being 1,2,3,4,5 it could be swapped with 2,3,4,1,5. The end zone will always be the same boss encounter location, but now you can end up fighting enemies that normally do not appear in a particular area of the dungeon. Or you could encounter an event in a location that never used to allow it to appear.

Interesting.

That's actually pretty cool.  I know for myself, and probably many players, we learn the routes and know what to expect.  This just changes it all up, and keep you on your toes.  Looking forward to trying this later.

Not being a negative Nelly because I'm happy you introduced this, but this is what it was going to be on launch... 

 

I think I watched a stream preview of the MP on IGN or something and some of the bioware peeps said something about how the dungeon would change every time you go in it by mixing the zones etc. 

 

Then I started playing it on launch and was wondering when this feature was going to happen. 

 

But good work guys! Looking forward to having some variety.

No, I got into one of those lobbies two days ago, the door scene is annoying T-T. The different route thing is cool though.

 

I knew it was weird when I entered the lobby through a black screen XD.

The feature only went live 45 minutes ago ;-)

If you actually saw it a couple of days ago, then it was likely in the beta. If that is the case, you should know why there is a "door scene."

 

For the people who aren't in beta, there's a reason for it and its not something worth griping about if you don't like it.

 

Seriously, please don't make 10 threads about this...

Perhaps the devs could post the explanation here? That might save a lot of aggro.

[ParthianShotX]

do I need to do something to activate this?  3 matches and the maps have been the standard fare for me . . . .

[Apollexander]

I don't understand... What is a route? And 75 additional routes per week sounds crazy, compared to 4 or 5 routes.

[PaintedDoll523]

This sounds really nice. Should break up the monotony that was starting to settle in.
