PTS Update - July 26 Mr. E / Trove Forums

The post is quite long, so we won't preview it right now. Show

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.
