Lunar Lancer

Hey Trovians,

We have an incoming hotfix today, February 13, starting at 3:00pm PST / 23:00 UTC. Downtime is expected to be about 2 hours and this will only affect the PC platform. This immediate hotfix is to help address some log in issues, check out the patch notes below for details.

Patch Notes:

• Lunar Lancer and Revenant heads can now (correctly) only be used with the Lunar Lancer and Revenant unlocked.
• An issue has been fixed that could have prevented some players from being able to log in.

Here's the patch notes from the update on PC and PS4 today. Xbox One will receive this update at a future date.

Patch Notes:

• Leviathans now create openable vaults instead of killable chests when defeated. These vaults require Leviathan Keys to open. Leviathan Keys can be crafted with Forge Fragments, Cosmic Gem Dust, and a little bit of Flux to glue them together.
  
• The Shadow Tower Key Mold (found in Shadow Towers) has been renamed the All Purpose Key Mold. All craftable keys (including Leviathan Keys) can now be crafted at the All Purpose Key Mold.
  
• An All Purpose Key Mold has been added to the coliseums in the Shores of the Everdark and the Leviathan lairs.
  
• Fixed an issue that was allowing Thallasion to spawn in Shores of the Everdark.
  
• Added light suggestion warning signs to Leviathan lairs.
  
• Leviathan daily contests are back.
  
• Fixed an issue with Adventure Heroes sometimes not being summon-able at Rally of Heroes slots. If a club was previously in this state, please try summoning a new Hero. The platform may also need to be interacted with twice to resolve the issue.
  
• Fixed an issue that could prevent the Chicken Chunk or Minimoonga from appearing in chaos chests.
  
• Fox and Headless head lovers rejoice! If you own the Lunar Lancer class you can now switch to the fox head style for any class! If you own the Revenant class you can now switch to the headless style on any class! Fixed a bug that would previously allow the use of these heads by being quick. Also, may I recommend having a dance party over this? I can't stress this enough. A dance party.
  
• The Invaders Killed metric now correctly increments for all nearby players instead of only the player who dealt the killing blow.
  
• The Ice Sage subclass shield now successfully blocks 3 attacks for over 50% health while active (up from no attacks!)
  
• Corrected the way the Knight’s shield and Ice Sage’s Ice Ward ability work to be more consistent in more situations.
  
• In preparation for their return, the rare drop rates for the Romancin and Shamrockin Pinatas have been made more consistent (and overall better) for the person throwing the pinata.
  

We have a hotfix coming to help fix an issue with Lunar Lancer's grapple in clubs and to prepare for Shadow’s Eve this year. Congratulations to House Carys for donating the most during Sunfest. The statue of the Sun Goddess has been rebuilt thanks to your generosity!

Patch Notes:

• The Lunar Lancer Grapple should no longer sometimes stick around and prevent building.
• The Shadowy Station is getting ready for Shadows Eve 2019. It has new sections that are waiting for this yearly event!
• 2018 Shadowy Seals can now be used to craft candy corn.

• The Events section of the currency inventory has been moved to the top of the first tab. It should only be visible during an event when you have an event currency.

Shadow’s Eve falls upon Trove on October 23, 2018. This year the spooky celebration is bigger than ever with an 8 Adventure chain, two weeks of Daily Login Rewards, plus all-new Outpost Adventures that can be completed every day of the event!

Looking for a great guide to the festivities? Check out this post from our friends at Trovesaurus.

Shadow’s Eve
Each of the 8 Shadow’s Eve Adventures awards players with a new event reward called Shadowy Seals. You can also earn these seals every day by completing the repeatable Outpost Adventures offered by NPC in front of the Pumpkin House in the Trove Hub.

Each Shadowy Seal can be used at the Shadowy Station to craft scary epic items. Collect 10 Seals to craft the Bewitching Howlug ally. Collect 25 more to craft these gorgeous new Neon Hallowings!

Pumpkin Lairs are back in full force and can appear in any biome, including Forbidden Spires. Complete these dungeons to earn Candy Corn that can be used to craft Nightmare Mystery Boxes and other creepy collectables at the Shadowy Station.

The Colossal Chiropteran and the Uncanny Coffin, which were last year’s Mystery Box top prizes, can be crafted by anyone who missed out on them before.

When completing a 1-Star Dungeon, Todstrom has a chance to appear instead of a reward chest. Defeat him for an extra treat – Candy Corn and a rare chance at a Mobile Mummy mount!

Several sought after Halloween styles have been added to the Autumn Style Unlocker – Freaky Frankie, Moonhowl Mask, Brusque Broom, Bat Bow, and Pumpkin Pounder. In addition to all that, we’ve added 3 new hats styles to the unlocker as well - Pumpkin Pie-rate Hat, Rainbow Unicorn Wig, and Candy Corn Hood!

Class Skills

Lunacy (Passive)
The wily fox gains Lunar Power by attacking enemies with a spear. When Lunar Power is full, the Lunar Lancer transforms into Lunatic form, empowering all abilities.

Grappling Spear
Throw your spear to any location in range (yup, even walls) and grapple to that location. There is an explosion when the spear hits, and a second explosion when you grapple to it. This ability is great for quickly closing the gap with enemies, or for making a tactical retreat. The empowered Grappling Spear lands with even greater force, increasing the size of the explosions.

Crescent Combo
This powerful two-hit combo attack knocks enemies into the air, leaving them briefly stunned. While in Lunatic form, enemies are knocked even higher into the air, and remain stunned longer.

Ultimate: Blessing of the Moon
Summon a giant spear from the heavens that slams into the Trovian terrain, damaging all enemies caught in the impact. Once the spear lands, it radiates a soothing buff that increases Health and Energy regeneration for all your friends! If Blessing of the Moon is used in Lunatic form, the spear is followed by a barrage of meteorites that do additional damage.

With your fleet footed new class it's never been easier to look extra foxy - all Lunar Lancer costumes are also 50% off this week!

If you've ever been curious as to what the fox says, wonder no more!

Patch Notes

Gem Stat Augment and Reroll System

• Improve or change a stat on a gem using the new Gem Forge!
• The recipe to craft a personal Gem Forge can be found in an Adventurer's Crafting Bench under the “Gem & Gear Improvement” section.
• New crafting materials to support this system have also been added:
  • Bound Brilliance, which can be found in Boons or collected from events. (What’s a Boon? See the note on “Daily Reward Chests” below!)
  • Binding Darkness, which can be found in Gem Booster Boxes and Empowered Gem Boxes, or can (rarely) be dropped by mini bosses in the open world.
• Four additional recipes have also been added to the Adventurer's Crafting Bench in the “Gems” section:
  • Builder's Rough Focus: Can be used at a Gem Forge to improve a gem’s stats. Requires 1 Bound Brilliance, 4 Hearts of Darkness, and 2,000 flux to craft.
  • Builder's Precise Focus: Can be used at a Gem Forge to improve a gem’s stats. Requires 1 Bound Brilliance, 3,000 water gem dust, 3,000 fire gem dust, 3,000 air gem dust, and 4,000 flux to craft.
  • Builder's Superior Focus: Can be used at a Gem Forge to improve a gem’s stats. Requires 1 Bound Brilliance, 30 Diamond Dragonite, 3 Titan Souls, and 150,000 flux to craft.
  • Contained Chaos Spark: Can be used to reroll any stat on a gem. (Be aware that gems can’t have both the Physical Damage and Magic Damage stats simultaneously.) Requires 3 Lunar Souls, 4 Binding Darkness, and 2,100 Eyes of Q'bthulhu to craft.
• The Health Regeneration stat will no longer appear on newly obtained gems! Existing gems with Health Regen will continue to function and may be improved with the new system. However, if Health Regen is removed from a gem via rerolling, it can never be replaced. (The Health Regen stat on equipment remains unchanged.)

Gem Booster Boxes have been rebalanced:

• Binding Darkness has been added to the drop table.
• Gem dust has returned to the drop table.
• The drop rates for Jade Clovers, Glittering Horseshoes, Golden Gem Keys have been reduced.
• These changes were necessary to ensure the drops from Gem Booster boxes support a wider range of players.
• Daily Reward Chests have been rebalanced and are now called Boons of a Celestial Paragon:
  • There are 12 boons in total, one for each month of the year.
  • They now have a very rare chance to drop the 18-token monthly reward.
  • Bound Brilliance has been added to the common drop table.
  • The number of Dragon Coins that drop from one roll has been increased. (MOAR RAWR!)
  • The number of Jade Clovers that drop from one roll has been decreased.
  • These changes raise the overall value of drops from daily chests. Err, Boons. They raise the value of drops from Boons. Because that’s what daily chests are called now.
• The Book of Bound Brilliance is now available to craft at the Adventurer’s Crafting Bench! This Legendary Tome will grant 5 Bound Brilliance once a week.
• Loot collecting leveled gems just got a whole lot better! The amount of Gem Dust obtained from deconstructing a leveled gem has been increased by up to 300% at Level 5, 700-1200% at level 10, up to 2000% at level 15, and up to 1000% at Level 20+. Transitioning from an older gem to a shiny new one will now be MUCH less expensive.

Subclasses

• The new subclass system is unlocked ~automagically~ at level 10!
• Any unlocked class can now be equipped as a subclass using the new 5th ability slot on the Character Sheet.
• Each subclass provides a unique passive ability along with a stat boost! The effectiveness of the passive increases based on the active Power Rank of the subclass, while the stat boost improves based on the level of the subclass.
• An active class may not be designated as its own subclass.
• Subclasses are now also displayed on the “Select a Class” window, along with the class's level and power rank.
• Each class gives the following bonuses when selected as a subclass:
  • Gunslinger: Provides extra jump and increases all damage done to enemies while airborne.
  • Neon Ninja: Provides extra jump and grants a chance to deal bonus damage to enemies at less than 20% health.
  • Dino Tamer: Provides extra Attack Speed and grants Critical Hits a chance to briefly root targets.
  • Lunar Lancer: Provides extra Attack Speed; during combat, grants a chance to briefly transform into a Lunar Lancer and receive some of its power.
  • Ice Sage: Provides extra Magic Damage; activates a shield that absorbs incoming damage when successfully attacking foes. The shield is equal to 5% of Max Health.
  • Dracolyte: Reduces cooldowns and grants Physical Damage a chance to set enemies on fire.
  • Knight: Provides extra flask capacity and increases movement speed while riding ground-based mounts.
  • Pirate Captain: Provides extra magic find and has a chance to drop a cannon ball from the sky when damaging enemies.
  • Chloromancer: Provides extra Maximum Health; damaging enemies grants a chance to activate thistles and reflect incoming damage.
  • Tomb Raiser: Provides extra Critical Hit and has a chance to spawn a random minion from a fallen foe. Only one minion of this type can be active at any given time.
  • Revenant: Reduces incoming damage and grants basic attacks a chance to trigger a taunt.
  • Shadow Hunter: Provides extra Magic Damage and grants magic attacks a chance to activate Searing Light, which deals damage over time.
  • Candy Barbarian: Provides extra Stability and has a chance to drop candy when damaging an enemy. The candy increases attack and either movement speed or healing.
  • Fae Trickster: Increases gliding speed and grants Critical Hits a chance to spawn bombs that damage and stun enemies.
  • Boomeranger: Increases Critical Damage and spawns a fae companion that provides healing if its master falls to low health.
• Note that the subclass passive for the Dracolyte is designed to support players who primarily play magic damage classes and want to experiment with physical damage classes. The subclass passive for Shadowhunters is designed to do the opposite. These may be swapped if they prove too confusing.

Shadow Tower Foyer

• Players entering the Shadow Tower via the Atlas spawn into the new Shadow Tower Foyer:
  • The foyer contains three separate platforms indicating desired difficulty level, allowing players to easily find other adventurers to partner with. The platforms may or may not also provide random pools to fish in.
  • Entering the foyer automatically adds players to the "ShadowTower" chat channel. Leaving the foyer automatically removes them.
  • Players entering the Shadow Tower via a portal now have the option of entering the tower directly or heading first to the foyer.

Shadow Hydrakken

• The fearsome Shadow Hydrakken has awakened on the Shadow Tower’s fourth floor! This ancient, multi-headed beast spews vile acid on its foes--talk about morning breath!
• Watch out for parasites!
• Hisssssssssssss. Don't heck with him. 5x Wall Snek.

Darknik Dreadnought

• The Darknik Dreadnought, Dr. Darknik's latest mechanical machination, now guards the fifth floor of the Shadow Tower. A battle robot bristling with armaments, it’s ready to give Trovian invaders a very, VERY warm welcome!
• You won't like him when he's angry.
• Adventurers wishing to avoid their curtain call had best employ a better defense than Cubic Curtain.

Additional Shadow Tower Updates

• Daughter of the Moon has relocated to her new penthouse on the sixth floor of the Shadow Tower.
• Higher-quality keys can now be used to open Shadow Vaults. Moon Keys can open Normal and Hard Shadow Vaults, while Eclipse Keys can open Normal, Hard, and Ultra Shadow Vaults.
• Titan and Lunar Souls now drop from Shadow Vaults instead of being directly awarded after defeating a Shadow Titan.
• Daughter of the Moon now drops a new resource called Despoiled Divinity in addition to Lunar Souls. One Despoiled Divinity can be earned for each Shadow Tower difficulty, up to a maximum of 3 per week.
• Many new rewards have been added to the Shadowy Market for Hearts of Darkness, Titan Souls, Lunar Souls, and Despoiled Divinity.

  • Shadow Hydrakken Normal/Hard/Ultra: 1/3/5

• An assortment of new enemies have migrated to the Shadow Tower.
• Shields no longer prevent being killed by the Daughter of the Moon's one-shot attack.
• Elemental worlds now drop Shadow Key Fragments, Moon Key Fragments, and Eclipse Key Fragments. These all have a chance to drop from clearing 1-star and 3-star dungeons, similar to how gem boxes currently drop in Prime Worlds. Patron status gives two such chances (which may result on any given chest as 0, or 1, or 2 of the drops that a Prime World chest of the same Uber level would drop.)
• Prime Worlds now drop more Shadow Key Fragments, Moon Key Fragments, and Eclipse Key Fragments. 1-star Dungeons will see their drops increased by approximately 50%, while 3-star dungeons will see their drops increased by variable amounts. Patron status doubles such drops.

New Dragons

• Seven new dragons have landed! Recipes for each can be found in the Dragon Crucible, and their egg fragments have been scattered throughout the game.
  • Voidwalker Dragon Egg Fragments for Indurion, the Unwavering, can be found in Shadow Caches.

• A new category, Ancestral Dragon, has been added to Collections to break up the large Legendary category and more accurately reflect the different methods of acquisition.

Trovian Atlas

• The Portal Tower in the Hub World has been replaced with the Sun Goddess Statue!
• The Sun Goddess Statue is surrounded by:
  • A Radiant Merchant, where Radiant Sovereigns can be spent on great rewards!
  • A Radiant Dayspring, where amazing new items can be earned with Daily Login tokens!
  • Three copies of the new Trovian Atlas (details below)!
• The Trovian Atlas is a new visual representation of all the worlds in Trove, including the Prime Worlds, Drowned Worlds, Cursed Skylands, Igneous Islands, Shores of the Everdark, and the Shadow Tower Foyer. It’s basically an easy-to-use overworlds map that grants access to any world. (Yo block, we heard you like maps, so we put some maps in your map…)
• Simply open the Trovian Atlas, select the desired world, select Enter, and let the adventure begin. (Power Rank requirements still apply!)
• All existing Adventure World portals are still functional. However, going forward, none will be located in the hub. A personal copy of the Trovian Atlas may be obtainable in the future, but for now it only exists in the Hub World.

Store

• The Progression Weekly Deal has been reborn as the Turboriffic Weekly Deal! It now offers 25 Golden Gem keys, 10 Double Experience Potions (2x the previous) and 20 Bound Brilliance! This blockalicious bundle will appear in the Store every four weeks.

The effectiveness of the passive skill is based on the active Power Rank of the associated class. For example, if you select the Candy Barbarian Subclass and your Candy Barbarian is Power Rank is 2,000 that will determine how much of an attack & movement speed boost you get.

• Mastery has been doubled (from 50 to 100) on the Cyclone Skimmer, Squeakers, and Neverending Necrowmancer mounts. Players who have already collected these mounts will receive the incremental 50 Mastery.
• Disaeon, the Immortal dragon now grants +30 Power Rank and the following stats but does NOT grant Mastery:
  • +1000 Max Health
  • +1 Maximum Energy
  • +1 Energy Regeneration
  • +50 Magic Find
• Leveling costumes now grant 35 Mastery and other costumes grant 70 Mastery.
• Mastery is now awarded immediately when an XP Coin is used.

Progression

• We've smoothed the experience curve to level 30 and reduced the amount of experience required from level 20-30.
• Since Dragon Fire Peaks and Jurassic Jungle are restricted to U4 and U5, they will no longer appear as biome Challenges.
• Invasions and World Bosses will no longer spawn in the first 2 worlds (Medieval Highlands/Novice and Permafrost/Adept). This change allows our newest players to get used to game mechanics a bit before being ROFLstomped by invaders.
• Mastery Rank 20 is now required to use Trading, Community or Club Chests, and the Marketplace.
• Starter Classes are now limited to only the 8 most accessible classes. Class Coins and other methods of acquiring Classes work as normal.
• The introductory quest chain will no longer require players to join a club or enter the Shadow Tower

Classes

• Damage from the Neon Ninja empowered class Gem ability, 'Heuristic Haxstar' should now stack correctly.
• Fixed the damage reduction of the Tomb Raiser ability, 'Banshee's Boon' to correctly reduce damage by 90% (the tooltip always said 90%, but the ability was previously only reducing by 75%).
• Corrected certain Revenant Class Gems descriptions to remove the incorrect statement "does not taunt.” Aegis Assault taunts like a boss!
• Adjusted the cooldown sound for the Ice Sage's Gem power.
• Updated the description on the Beckon Banshee Tomb Raiser Gems.
• Updated the description on the Lunar Lancer ability 'Lunacy' to reflect the actual reduced damage.
• Updated the following abilities to not collide with NPCs (similar to Dino Tamer's Clever Snare)
  • Boomeranger - Big Bomb and Mysterious Urn
  • Shadow Hunter - Sun Snare
  • Fae Trickster- Glitterbomb.
• Revenant's Wraith passive ability once more applies 50% physical damage and 100% health regen while wraith is on cooldown.
• Ability cooldowns are now reset to max when switching between classes.
• Cooldown on dodge has been reduced from 3 seconds to 1.8 seconds, because it's just more fun that way.

Chaos Chests

• Chaos Chests and Golden Chaos Chests now drop sometimes from dungeon chests. There are advantages to farming fast for these, but even more casual players will be able to earn them at a reasonable rate!
• Any Chaos Chests acquired following this patch cannot be traded. Existing chests are still tradable. Tradable and non-tradable chests have separate karma bars.
• Chaos Chest common and uncommon tables have been randomized and the uncommon table now includes Chaos Cores (a lootbox containing many Chaos Cores).
• One week out of every 4 will now have a Chaos Mega-core as the top loot for the week.
• The Chaos Chest rare table has been expanded to always include all previous “Chaos Chest only” collectibles at a low rate.
• Shadow Pinatas now have a very rare chance to drop from Chaos Chests!
• Chest-specific collectibles gained from opening chests can no longer be traded and will loot collect into Chaos Cores. Collectibles acquired prior to this patch remain tradable but cannot be loot collected.
• Added the new Chaos Core Crafter workbench to the Novice Crafting Bench.
• Crafting at this bench unlocks directly into Collections and prevent you from crafting anything you already have collected.
• At the Chaos Core Crafter bench you can use Chaos Cores, along with other resources, to craft classes and Chaos Chest specific collectibles.
• The Chaos Core Crafter also includes the following awesome new costumes:

• New Weekly Contests have been added. They are Infinium Mined This Week, Glim Collected This Week, Fish Caught This Week, Weekly Battle Arenas Won, and Loot Collected This Week.
• Experience Earned contest leaderboard now tracks only XP earned during the contest week instead of all-time XP. This will reset the leaderboard. Any progress made on Monday, June 26, 2017 will not be counted.

The Biggest Little Update Ever

This build has a LOT of changes-that-should-be-behind-the-scenes to support Trove on consoles, however, some of these changes ended up breaking things. Our QA team absolutely crushed what was a very broken build earlier, but there are still going to be many little changes which the developers and QA both ended up missing, or which only end up popping up in a live (or live-like) environment.

So, basically, please help us out by testing every single thing in the game (especially UI screens and functionality).

===JULY 29 - 2nd Update===

• Fixed inventory sort so that all gems are sorted together by color > rarity > power rank

• Fixed bug where Lunar Lancer could get into a bad state where attacks didn't work after throwing a bomb right as his/her ultimate ended

Misc Fixes / Updates

• Fixed a crash that could occur when taking screenshots.
• Fixed bug where, with default bindings, zooming in and out with the mouse wheel in build mode also rotated the block being placed. Now, holding shift while moving the mouse wheel rotates the block, as intended.
• Fixed a display issue with the stat breakdowns in the Character Sheet where Battle Banner stats were incorrectly included in the total when not in a Battle Arena, and other stats were incorrectly included when you were in a Battle Arena.
• Fixed a non-display issue where some PvE-only stats were being applied in the Battle Arena.
• Fixed an issue that would cause some abilities not to play a "Cooldown Up" sound.
• Flagcapture points in pvp worlds should now rotate correctly.

• Parrot in Pirate Captain - Mad Scientist skin now drops black feathers instead of red feathers.
• Drastically reduced amount of data sent to client when adding some kinds of objects, which may reduce latency.
• Fixed a bug where the Gunslinger's ultimate would cause the pitch on its attacks to keep going up and up and up and up...
• Legendary Eye Encyclopedia has been renamed to prevent confusion with the regular version, and is now called Oculus Opus.
• Legendary Tome: Big Bomb has been renamed to be more consistent with other legendary tome names, and is now called Pyrotechnics Papers.
• Fixed a bug where $Text_Like_This could show up in the Marketplace.
• FIxed a bug where $Text_Like_This could show up when waiting to log in during a queue.
• Lambent the Neolord and Syluria the Enchanting have come to terms. Stat bonuses from the badges should now stack correctly.
• Chaos chests no longer give eyes of q'thulhu as uncommon results and instead have a greater chance of pearls of wisdom.
• Gem Booster boxes have a lower chance of granting dust and a higher chance of granting Jade Clovers.

Community Content

• New Treasure Isles dungeon from Screamheart.
• New mask styles from Xeof, Kot_Manul, Humpypants, DecibHell, illiagorath, MonsieurZero, Asykura, B4ileys, Tomkar, GhostlyKoala, Hirakashi, Mew2ian, and Towerfall have been added to the game!

We've just released a hotfix for our server code that should fix the issue where the Golems in the Shores of the Everdark dungeons weren't necessarily counting towards the completion of the Dungeon quest.

This was part of a broader issue which may have manifest itself in other ways (for instance, the Lunar Lancer ultimate may have had an extended range under some circumstances).

This fix will only apply to any newly created worlds from here on out. Old worlds will still have the problem.
