Awesome. If I use a gif, the image that appear is the last. Email news and email patch notes not always received.
What I have in mind is that, it would be better if Trove can add more slots to your club, instead of 5 maybe they can make around 7 or 8.
There are many currencies in the game, another one will just make it more complicated.
Trove need new gameplay content urgent, not new system for the player to buy stuff from the store.
New dungeons, new stuff for the players, new things!!
I think its a healthy thing to have for the site. The real supporters of the site are given awesome rewards for helping out, and everyone can see who the dedicated people are.
All the 'featured' stuff is a nice way to give back to people who are content creators and are supporters of the site.
The only thing i don't really like is that the patch notes and other news that you get in your emails should be a thing for normal members. Is it because its manually done ? Then its ok for me.
Making a thank-you system for donating and giving it to everyone for a while, clever.
It would be nice to have a tickbox menu for which mods you want to feature... Like i wouldn't want to mark some of my mods as discontinued just to get them not to appear... maybe have it as a optional thing to choose which ones you want but still keep the automatic method incase someone doesn't want to go through all their mods and select them all.
Wow!!!Your the best trove site i've ever seen the thing i was looking for 20 minutes your the only one that has the answer!!
Great Work!! Keep Up!!!
I do like the concept of Gold and I can certainly see the perk in a lot of the features, (especially the streamer advertisement), but on the constructive side, I will admit that the GOLD banner on the avatar itself feels obtrusive to me. Perhaps a small golden cubit in the top right corner of the avatar could server as a great indication of Gold status as well, without needing to take up as much space? Just my own opinion. :)
Gold seems like a good idea to encourage people to help support the site to make it even better then what it is. :)
Well, after that unexcepted maintance, everything looks fine here on this site and I wish that you guys will stay on that path ;o)
the random refer a friend link its pretty cool adn useful thanks for the gold membership
I commonly use this Website to track down obscure information that's not regularly updated elsewhere, and find it extremely helpful when needing a quick look throught the Models to find a Blueprint. I appreciate all that you are, and all that you guys do, and I will be supporting Trovesaurous Gold.
I think this is a good way to support the site and also give yourself some benefit on the site.
Its hard to convince ppl to pay for a forum of a free to play game.
Gotta have some exlusive perks to sweeten the deal
maybe gold member could use costom profile pics(it would have to be monitered because we all know why.)
So in my opinion the Trove Gold is actually pretty good. It allows for special and often amusing titles. No ads is great for obvious reasons and I do like the random featured stream. So current thoughts are that Gold is a pleasant experince that adds useful non-critical things, and I currently I feel there is no pressure to actually buy it. That last bit is crucial as countless people hate being pressured into any 'premium' service that locks away critical serives for those without. So my current verdict is a thumbs up. But can we have the make-your-own-titles a normal feature, please.
idk do u have to pay? it doesnt seem like that great of perks for more than like say a $1
Deep I want that gold I'm new to trove and love it so much I would b cool 2 get a little bump towards my mount coll croon possibly
It's a good membership for trovesaurus!
-It gives you the option of custumization for your profile
-Email notifications are useful
-ITS CHEAP:D
It's pretty nice! it let's you costumize your profile (way more than it previously did) and it is cheap.
I think that you could add something that would let you know (via email) that someone liked your comment (+1) ou desliked it (-1) or even if someone replied to you on a coment. It would also be nice if you could add an email notification when either someone won a contest or just received a trovesauros email message so you could come and read it on the website.
keep up the good work!
Neat /Bender. I do not mind that Trovesaurus uses ad, --albeit them being non-instrusive textual ads-- as a sort of a way to gain finances. I only block ads on sites if they have auto-play, sound, or wish to infect my computer. AdBlock Episode by Jim Sterling | Imgur
This looks like it will be at a good price with a few nice perks. Not necessary but could be useful. Good job Trovesaurus people.
I really like how this was added and given to everyone for a week meaning we can now have a Custom Banner and a Custom Profile picture for week. I really like the look of the site with no ads. One question. If we edit out banner and profile picture, will it stay after the Gold goes away?
By having Gold settings it made a lot of things I was having problems with before much easier. I love being able to change my profile picture and assign different options at the click of a button. Very handy!
I have used your website for 10 month, and never desapointed about :p , Thank you Trauvesaurus !
How about a reward point system? I'm not talking about reward tokens but points to where when you get so many you get a reward token and the amount of points is dependant upon how much you donate. I think that would encourage more and more people to donate and get gold as the only way to get a rewards token right now is to win contests.
OR even better then a way based on how much you donate make it where you get a point per contest you enter and just like last suggestion so many points can get a reward token so like if you enter something like 10-20 contests even if you don't win any of them you can still get a reward token, and I bet that if a reward point system was implemented especially if you needed gold a lot of people would buy gold just so they could work on getting reward points for a token so they could get a guarenteed reward even if it took a while
I think that trovesaurus gold is a great way for the people who use the site frequently to be able to get more out of it, and what is a giveaway site without subscription? I think this is a great idea and definitely will improve trovesaurus because of all the donated moonies.
This is a pretty good way to reward avid users of the site. Personally I don't use it enough to find the worth of it, but this is the best step in the right direction to make this site a BIG part of the community
I'll be honest. I don't notice anything different except the gold banner on my Picture. I know there is a list of things that this does which I'll look into later, but at the moment not much has changed for me.
Okay. I've found out how to feature mods. Here's my feedback. It should not feature discontinued mods.
i agree with this. no point featuring all those terrible discontinued mods or even better, being able to select individually which mods you want to feature in the settings.
Also, the featured mod list looks fairly long so why not have it as one from each category at the most and then make them fade out/in slowly over time in a random order without it causing lag. Should be nice.
I have to agree with this, especially since one of the features of Gold is being able to use a custom image (which you might not want to be partially blocked by the sash).
Thanks for the free week, it is nice being able to try out the features before making a longer-term decision!
Nice Work with the gold!
All i can say is that it runs smoothly, but i would suggest maybe working on a some more privileges for those who donate, like whats been said already ( Gold-only events and special access)
Thanks for all the hard work over the years!
Dude this a nice people becuase then the people who have gold you can do special giveaways for them that are big and probably you can notify them if they have won a contest by emails if they dont tend to check troveasurus alot and also with contest the random choosing they can probably have a better chance at winning
It's really nice, i would suggest to add Gold exclusive giveaways and also 2x chance to win a normal giveaway. PS: Im glad you're back :)
Been messing around with it a bit, and it seems pretty cool. Customization is always fancy. I was going to suggest Gold-only giveaways, but it seems you're already working on it... If you implement the shoutbox again, maybe make a Gold only channel?
Removing the ads is probably my favorite feature for this, cause I usually run adblocker for most sites since it'll make my browser so slow to load if I don't, and it's a convinient way to support this site with added eatures to those who do.
Personally love it, its kinda a way to help the site aswell, I do love the features but maybe for some users it may be kinda useless unless that is they want more customization on their proofile.
And thanks for the 7 days of Gold.
Gold feels like a good way for the site to get some more money to help run the site, only thing that seems a little bit "meh" so to speak (Not trying to be offensive or anything) is how you must have a good account in order to receive emails about news, stuff like that seems like it should be free for all players and users with gold would probably want to be active on the site anyway to get their money's worth. Maybe having the ability to customize font color and background color/patterns/images would be a nice feature for Gold users too.
Well, that's my two cents. :P
Ok, other than that I think this is a great idea! Not too pricey like some other memberships I've seen, and packed with a ton of features to make it worth it, nice job!
Gold is a nice idea, but just feels like it's not nescessary. The changes/additions aren't really beneficial to me as they are, so would it be possible that something like for three months consecutive gold you get a Trove Pack? Probably not the best idea though...
Anyone know how you use the featured livestream box in the settings? Do you put a url in? but that doesnt save it... Do you put a name in? that doesn't save it either?. Anyone know how it works?
Having my own profile icon is much more better than having a normal image though what would be nice is the option to Critique art work. It might be something I would like but I dont know if other people would be interested.
Other than that its pretty good to have.
The featured mods look pretty useful. Or atleast should be once not everyone has gold. featured clubs idk about because club list still seems empty to me (and i still need to request me being able to claim my own club...) profile picture and banner are nice things to have as gold only and the title.... yea that looks ok. I think this gold thing looks pretty good.
...
Well saying that i didn't mind the adverts because adverts dont bother me unless they are like terraraia's gamepedia which causes more lag than the game itself just having wiki open for it because of all the ads...
So yea i think its cool.
The email notifications im not sure about... i thought there was a way to do that using trove's forums... i never really looked much tho. livestreaming notifications could be good i suppose. i just wish the website chat box was back again.... that would attract more constant viewers so it would make the livestreaming notification stuff more visible at the right time.
Trove forums don't send out emails. I've been relying on this email notification system to help me stay in touch when people mention my name or Trovesaurus there for the past few years.
Shoutbox might make a return, it was used a lot. I had hoped people would pick up Discord because of it, and that channel is growing.
the thing with shoutbox that make it good was that it was the easiest place to chat online when not ingame because trove's own website doesnt have an official shoutbox. while i quit trove for a while i played starmade and their shoutbox gets used loads (it has colour writing and pictures) even though their community is tiny.
From what i remember about the old shoutbox i dont think it will have much space for titles or the words "gold" over the profile picture. i suppose maybe the name itself could be changed into gold letters? (or any other colour if a yellow/gold is too hard to see)
Will there be some kind of review system for custom pictures before it gets updated like how artwork is for new people?
This is a good idea! I hope many people donate, as I would but I cannot due to my financial issues.
