The Trove Team

Hey all,

So as you probably noticed we put some new content in this week which was created by our community - the Hotdog Hero and the Fast Frank.

This was an experiment, and one which we want to continue.

Here's how it works:

First of all, you have to build something. Next up it requires two things: hype and patience. Your job is to get people excited about what you've built. Make it a mod, show off screenshots, or just hit the right note with the community. Once the hype is real that is the point at which we'll get in touch. This is where patience comes in to play - adding these types of content takes time, and there's probably a lot of people who want to get this in game. We will do what we can to put stuff in the game as fast as we can, but we want to do it right and make sure it's polished.

A few additional notes:
* After it is submitted we can and will make changes, probably without consulting you. We will keep the spirit of your submission but alter it potentially in other ways.
* The bounty for a submission is 10,000 credits and 300 codes to unlock the submission. We won't give these codes to anyone else and once they're gone they're gone. You can do anything you want with them except sell them.
* Like all submitted content we can do with it what we decide. If it's a costume it will probably go on the store like other costumes (or somewhere else that makes sense) and likewise depending on what other submissions there are they will go somewhere else in the game.

Have fun! And I look forward to seeing what you all create.

PS: Please make your mod thread in the newly made Mod Discussion subforum!

== FEATURES ==

PIRATEY GOODNESS
* The pirates of the Treasure Isles have begun sailing back into the worlds of Trove, their cargo holds chock-full of mysterious goods from the lands beyond the Sea of Regret. Find them anchored in any adventure world, and check out the goods they have to trade!

Currently the pirates are just crafting stations and this will be updated with the larger water update planned as the next big update after the sky one.

ONCE OUR PETS, NOW OUR ALLIES
* Allies-- formerly Pets-- are now more widely available and have some extra special powers. Catch 'em all!
*Cotton Candy now has more magical attributes.


== GAME UPDATE==

GENERAL
* Mastery rank now goes up to 90, which grants the Cycle of the Master!
* Flasks now give 25 mastery points. Pets (aka. Allies) now give 10 mastery points.
* Player terminal velocity now changes in water. Players no longer receive fall damage while underwater.


GAME MECHANICS
* Jumping and building no longer cost energy. Instead, energy regeneration is temporarily stopped.
* Experience gain from levels 1-10 is now limited to adventure worlds one above the currently recommended one.
* Slightly increased experience required to level from 6-10.
* Magic Find is no longer group based and increases rarity instead of forge level, leaving the level to use the same.
* Magic Find from equipment has been reduced and the chance per point to trigger has been retuned.


PACK UPDATES
* The Power Pack and Class Pack now are available in the store!

The Class Pack is a way to get a deep discount on classes if you’re interested in picking them up 5 at a time. These are replacing the starter packs.

STORE UPDATES
* Tomes, Pearls, and Prisms are no longer available for Cubits on the store.
* Horse mounts on the store are now 2000 cubits and the raptor and awesome ball are now 4000.
* The Hotdog Hero Gunslinger costume is now live, both on the store and in the Costume Mystery Box!
* Chaos Chests are now available on the store!

MOUNTS
* Water no longer reduces movement speed of mounts.
* All players now start with 'Slow Sebastion'. A slower than normal mount.
* Two new mounts are now acquirable in game: Fast Frank and the Jelly Knight!


ADVENTURE WORLDS/BIOMES
* Reduced incidence of Candoria recipe lairs to be in line with the other biomes.
* Candy Castle dungeon should no longer be embedded in the terrain.
* Shadow invaders now drop guaranteed equipment instead of flux.
* Slightly increased health of uber enemies.


ITEMS
* Golden Holiday Key is now known as the Golden Key.
* Reduced Unyielding Flask's duration by 0.5 seconds.


AUDIO
* LightCycle sound tuned: Ambiance Turned On : Underwater audio state supported.
* Pember and Pembur now have footstep sounds and Pember has a jump sound.
* Cycle engine sound improved.


VISUALS
* The Gunslinger and Candy Barbarian's left-hand weapons are now mirrored.
* Fixed instances of skin-based VFX not spawning, such as the Dracolyte's idol explosion.
* Corrected issue with cubemap initialization in OpenGL.
* The top segments of lamp posts should now emit light.


CRAFTING
* Cupcakes now correctly indicate they are found in Candoria zones, not Permafrost.
* Infinity Frames now require 50 bottles to craft.
* Pearls can now be traded for from pirates for Flux.

SHADOW ARENAS AND DUNGEONS
* Shadow Arenas have been updated to be have a staging area, be enclosed, and have a more shadowy look. In addition, staging areas for Shadow Arenas and Shadow Dungeons now feature a Class Changer.
* Slightly increased health of enemies in shadow arena/dungeon.
* In Shadow Arenas and Dungeons occasionally a random class will be chosen to deal double damage for the duration
