Mad Scientist

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===

===JULY 26===

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.

8:07 AM PST Update: After checking a few accounts, it looks like the retroactive grant for the Mad Scientist costume may not have worked appropriately. The team is taking steps to grant these items to the affected users. Thanks for your patience!

7:55 AM PST Update: And we're open! Thanks for your patience, everyone!
Why hello, Trovians!

Tomorrow, we'll be performing a small patch to Trove. Changes are as follows:

• FRIDAY ONLY: We're DOUBLING the drops of the Turkeytopia Mystery box! Fasti would insert a great, punderful joke here. Alas, I am too chicken, and my jokes are too fowl.
• We're fixing the "Mad Scientist" store costume so that it correctly grants the "Mad for Science" hat style and the "Doom-O-Zap" gun style. If you had previously purchased this costume and missed out, you will be automatically granted the styles.

The servers will come down at 7 AM PDT / 3 PM GMT and expected downtime is 1 hour.

We'll keep this post updated if we come back online early, or need a bit more time.

Thanks for your patience!
