Patch - August 7, 2018 - 8:00 AM PDT (3:00PM UTC) Posted by: TrionFasti on steam_community_announcements August 5, 2018



Hey everyone!



Trove is coming offline on Tuesday August 7, 2018 at 8:00 AM PDT (3:00PM UTC) for a patch. Find the full patch notes below.



Downtime may last up to 4 hours, but we'll bring up each platform as it finishes.



Thanks very much



Bomber Royale Changes



Kill credit is now granted to the most recent player to damage someone if they die from environmental damage or falling within 15 seconds.



Bomber Royale experience gain has been tuned to award more active, aggressive play. Some experience is now granted based on damage done to other players, and the amount of experience granted for just staying alive has been reduced. Experience for each kill has also been reduced since it is now easier to get credit for kills on players who die from lava or falling. Average experience gain may be lower, but very aggressive and accurate players will be more rewarded.



The Bomber Royale scoreboard will now show how much damage has been dealt by each player (not including lava bombs).



Damage Done (not including lava) in Bomber Royale is now also tracked in /metrics.



In Bomber Royale, there is now an option to spectate the rest of the match. Which living player is being watched can be swapped at any time, and if the current target dies it will automatically swap.



Fixed a rare issue that could join players to the same team, preventing them from damaging each other.



(PS4 and Xbox only) The Bomber Royale scoreboard no longer prevents opening chat or the character sheet.





Club and Adventure Changes



Clubs can now be reordered in the Club List.



Primary Clubs will always use chat channel c1. The other clubs will follow the same order as the Club List.



An X button has been added to the Liked Worlds UI, allowing players to remove clubs from the Liked Club World list even if the Homeworld Heart has been removed.



Clubs ranks now have a PresidentialCandidate permission, and only players in ranks with this permission will be considered to replace an AWOL president. If a president is AWOL and there is no one in a rank with the PresidentialCandidate permission who is also not AWOL, then that club will continue to be run by the AWOL president. Note that if a president leaves a club, all bets are off and the server will still pick someone to replace them, even if there is no one in a rank with the PresidentialCandidate permission.



The Club Adventure “Complete PVP Arena Matches” has been replaced by a new Adventure to throw 100 Bombs in Bomber Royale.



The Club Adventure “Complete Timed Challenges” has had its required count changed from 10 to 3.



The Club Adventures "Collect a Chaos Chest" and "Collect Chaos Chests" will no longer grant credit for Chaos Chests acquired from deconstructing other items.



An /adventurerewards command has been added to show the number of rewards available for various adventure types.



Adventures can no longer be accepted if they will not grant any rewards. (Note that club XP is considered a reward, so club adventures can be accepted past the 220 limit.)





Dragons



Two new dragons have been added to Trove!



Typhandir, the Sundered Shield can be obtained by collecting Egg fragments from Dark Chaos Vaults and then crafting the egg at the Dragon Crucible in the Hub.



Typhandir, the Sundered Shield is also available through Golden Dragon Effigies.

Dark Chaos Vaults an now be crafted at the Chaos Core Crafter Workbench.





Yzzuli of the Honeybreeze can be obtained by collecting Egg fragments from bee enemies and then crafting the egg at the Dragon Crucible in the Hub.

Xendri, the Arc Tempest, realizing he was lagging behind his siblings in power, made his case to Celetial Paragon Zehira to increase his power. He now grants energy regen and maximum health in addition to a maximum energy increase and magic find, bringing him more in line with his brethren.

The Dormant Lorekeeper Dragon Egg now deconstructs into 5 Lorekeeper Dragon Egg Fragments as opposed to 18 Xinzaya's Tokens.





Store



Hearty Party Pack 1 has arrived! Thanks to the charitable contributions made by players during Extra Life 2017, this pack contains an un-bee-lievable dragon, Yzzuli of the Honeybreeze, along with 2 costumes, 3 mounts, 1 dancepad, 8 allies, and 9 styles.



Trion Worlds, Inc. will donate $5,000 for every 700 units sold of Trove Hearty Party Pack 1, up to a maximum amount of US$20,000, to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization located at 205 W 700 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84101 ). Donations will be made for all eligible packs sold worldwide (excluding SC, AL, IL, and MA) between 12:00 AM PDT, August 7, 2018 through 11:59 pm PDT, September 4, 2018. This contribution is not tax deductible.





A disclaimer has been added during purchases of packs to remind players that collectibles are automatically unlocked on the purchasing account, and accounts that have already purchased included items will not receive duplicates.

Additional Updates



Made many server optimizations and reduced the amount of data sent back and forth between the client and server. This will moderately reduce lag.



An option to make cornerstones undamageable by bombs and abilities has been added to the Miscellaneous tab under Settings.



Added an option in the Miscellaneous tab under Settings to set the minimum rarity of gear that will be picked up when holding the Loot hotkey.



The +50% Crystal Gathering Potion now increases Crystal drops by 50% from Crystal Pinatas, Lesser and Greater Crystal Caches.



A sort button has been added for personal chests and inventory.



Players can now pick their displayed name colors from a list of earned colors. This list can be accessed next to the name on the character sheet.



There is now a toggle on the box opening UI that allows players to open chests until a rare result occurs.



The Geode Hub now has a map.



The player's icon should now appear over other players on the map.



Reduced the time it takes for cave critters to reward the player with Lesser Crystal Caches by approximately 75%.



Opening the Collections panel from the Character Sheet will now default to "Show Favorites" instead of "Hide Uncollected". If no Favorites are assigned for a given category, it will fall back to show all the collected items instead, as it did before.



The Marketplace now has a Resell option.



Camera distance will now be saved when switching between worlds.



Fixed an issue where the Dino Tamer ultimate would sometimes get stuck.



Damage numbers have been added to the Faerie Dance ability for Fae Trickster.



Fixed an issue preventing Za’hadeen from working with the Fae Trickster Subclass ability.



Tweaked the damage size for Vanguardian ranged attacks.



30 enemy Cursed Skulls have been altered to spawn in three waves of ten creatures versus the old method of spawning six waves of five creatures.



The loot collector will now also include items in the currency inventory.



Items in the currency inventory should no longer deconstruct in to 100 glim.



The scroll speed for merchant stores has been increased.



Looting equipment while in Build Mode will no longer auto equip the item.



The error message received when attempting to equip a gem with an already equipped effect is now more accurate.



Additional Mastery Sigils have been added.



Plants will now grow in any season.



A Chocolate Sponge has been added to the top tier of Gardening. Note that Chocolate blocks are not required for any plant.



Double PVP Experience has been removed from the weekly bonus rotation after the current week - it only affects the old Battle Arenas, so the event has been confusing for some players. Bomber Royale is affected by the normal Double Experience weekly bonus instead.



Water can no longer destroy anti-gravity blocks.



Rare bird deco drops and epic bear deco drops have had their displayed rarity set to Common so they will automatically be looted and won't leave behind extra floating objects. Note that this only affects their displayed rarity and not their drop rate.



Fixed a typo for the Hoarfiend Hornbow.



Messages about receiving 0 Geode Mastery should no longer be displayed.



Fixed an issue where the skybox flickers when changing zones.
