Clubs
  • Zone Restrictions now applied to existing zones when terraforming.
  • Fix for higher-ranks not being able to modify zones whose permissions had allowed lower ranking club members to modify the zone.
  • Restricted ranks that can terraform a club world to Officer and Leader.

UI
  • You can now interact with objects without directly targeting them. When you get near an interactable object, its tooltip appears and you can press the action button to interact with it. Don't worry - you can still target objects directly, too.
  • Players and NPCs no longer block your interactions when they are standing between you and the object you are trying to interact with.
  • Tooltips for interactable objects no longer appear when you are outside of interaction range.
  • Updated a lot of the UI to better accommodate longer, localized strings.
  • The claims icon in the lower left of the screen will now show up for new claims that you haven't seen, even if they were automatically claimed. Most notably, whenever we do giveaways, you'll have that icon to notify you. And if you buy something from the store it will also appear.

  • Town portal tooltips now have complete names.

  • Navigation menu can be opened regardless of whether the inventory is also open.
  • The Runecrafting bench description in the Adventurer's Crafting Bench has been corrected.
  • In Collections, added a new dropdown option: Show Favorites. This will make it easier to narrow down your search to just your favorited Tomes/Mounts/Allies/etc.
  • In Collections: Tomes, added an icon to indicate when a tome is "sleeping" and can't earn any more experience this week. This will make it easier to see which Tomes are still available at a glance.

Glad you're enjoying Trove together! We might consider making it work on the Oculuar Rift at some point, but the Rift isn't /currently/ super great for third person games or games where the character moves particularly quickly. Also, getting knocked back by a punchbot would be... pretty disorienting.
