Pirate Captain

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 an issue where Class Gem Abilities were unavailable after changing classes.
• Fixed inventory sort so that all gems are sorted together by color > rarity > power rank
• Fixed bug where Dracolyte could get into a bad state where attacks didn't work after throwing a Burnt Offering right as his/her ultimate ended
• 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

===JULY 29===

• Flux leaderboard is officially supported again, but it no longer increments when deconstructing megaflux. Flux counter has been reset.
• Fixed a bug with buttons on the Barbershop.
• Fixed a bug where stars were missing from inventory items.
• Fixed a bug where costume images wouldn't appear in the marketplace.

===JULY 27===

• Fixed a common crash bug!
• Fixed an issue where wings would sometimes draw incorrectly.

===JULY 26===
New!

• /sortinventory - this command will automatically sort your adventure inventory!

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.
• Revenant's Spirit Spears now destroys grass and other plants.
• 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.
• Optimized stats recalculations on the server. May reduce network latency.
• Fixed a bug where some products would show their Cubit and Credit prices out of order.
• The Haunted Mansion in the Undead biome has been updated!

Community Content

• 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!

Testing Focus - Gem Adjustments
These changes are designed to make it so you feel like you’re more consistently making gem progress as you play the game.
In addition, we wanted to add more excitement and improve the feeling of progression when it comes to lesser gems.

JUN 23 PATCH

• Fixed an issue where only a single dungeon type would spawn in the Tundra =D
• Fixed some wonky camera stuff with Drumsticks
• Added some behind the scenes stuff that changes how the daily bonus loot works.

========================
JUN 20 PATCH

• You can now combine 10 Clover Gem Boosters in to 1 Horseshoe Gem Booster at the Adventurer's Crafting Bench. Empowered gems now Loot Collect in to Empowered Gem Fragments. Collect 10 of these and you can craft a Stellar Gem Box at the Adventurer's Crafting Bench.
• Lesser gems now have a higher chance to have more stats. There is a new tradable Golden Gem Key which can be used on lesser gem boxes to get a guaranteed rare result. There is a new 33 booster box purchase in the store that also contains one bonus Golden Gem Key.
• Lowered the levels at which Gem sockets unlock! Empowered gems now become available earlier, at level 12, 15, and 20 (previously they were 21, 23, 25). Certain lesser gem sockets also unlock earlier, at level 23 and 26 (formerly 27,29). Slot those empowered gems, and benefit from the additional Power Rank earlier.

Picking the Class that best suits your playstyle is a piece of cake! Or maybe it’s easy as pie. Either way, it’s definitely dessert related – especially if you’re a Candy Barbarian (we’ll get to that later).

In Trove, there are two main combat styles:

Melee Classes
This is the playstyle for those who want to get up close and personal when vanquishing foes. These Classes use weapons like swords, axes, and maces to lay the smack down.

Pick a melee class if you like the idea of being front and center during a fight. Melee attacks, for the most part, are Area of Effect (AoE), which means that your attacks will hit all enemies in your path. As you level up your character, you’ll be able to gather a group of enemies and hack and slash your way to victory!

• Candy Barbarian – This cantankerous, carbo-loading crusher pummels enemies into submission. Love the idea of Vanilla Swirlwinding your way into the fray and crushing foes with the sweet wrath of Eis-Crom? The Candy Barbarian might be the hard-charging brawler for you.

• Knight – None can escape this stalwart Trovian’s sword of justice! The Knight can bludgeon enemies with a variety of melee weapons, run over the bad guys with the powerful Charge, or use their Iron Will to heal damage and protect against attacks. This is a great class to play for fighters who like to have extra survivability when the going gets tough.

• Neon Ninja – Style and subterfuge are the name of the game for this flashy assassin. Shadow Flip grants you a speed boost and stealth to hide yourself from enemies. Stasis Blade attacks allow you to rush through enemies and root them in place, while the Final Technique gives your weapon a huge damage boost.

• Dracolyte – Fueled by powerful draconic magic and joined by a loyal dragon whelp, the Dracolyte is one feisty flame thrower. If you need more convincing, level up this class and you’ll eventually unlock the ability to transform yourself into a powerful dragon!

• Boomeranger – The Boomeranger can be a melee or ranged fighter: Equip a sword and stand toe to toe with your enemies while peppering them with bombs and boomerangs to the face! It’s great for players who like to be able to choose either play style.

Ranged Classes
Lovers of bows, pistols, magic attacks, bombs, or cannons will want to pick from one of our many ranged classes.

This playstyle is great if you want to focus your fire on a single enemy, blasting away its health before its weapons have been unsheathed!

• Pirate Captain – What’s a pirate’s favorite letter? It’s B, for all the bonds of friendship forged over the years. Also, for blowing stuff up. Probably mostly the second one. The Pirate Captain fights with his trusty Parrot by his side. You can even toss down a cannon and your parrot pal will pummel landlubbers while you blast away with your shotgun. #noscope

• Shadow Hunter – This hawkeyed dead shot aims to hit the bullseye with green arrows. Fire devastating projectiles through all who dare oppose you (including those pesky walls) and snare baddies with luminous traps. This is a great class for those who want to lock down enemies and shoot on the move.

• Ice Sage – Chill your enemies to the bone with a wintry array of frost magic. With powerful attacks and a Frost Ward to ward off incoming blows, this is a great class for players who want to mix offense and defense. What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Sage!*

• Fae Trickster – Become the master prankster of the Trove universe. Destroy your enemies with distraction and deceit. Beguile foes with your Faerie Dance, and wreak fanciful carnage with your devastating Glitterbombs!

• Gunslinger – Dual-wield pistols, charge up your attacks to deal heavy damage, and use the powerful Run and Gun attack to burst down packs of foes.

• Boomeranger – The Boomeranger is back on the list! Equip a bow to snipe from afar, stun enemies with your handy boomerang, and blast them to pieces with bomb attacks. The Boomeranger’s a class that’s great at locking down enemies – and then blowing them away!

*These claims are unsubstantiated, and there is no evidence to support any characters in Trove having a direct impact on the global population of dinosaurs.
