Maybe a clean up for some pages? Especially the guides page, for example there's a category for "Dragons" and "Dragon". The only difference between the 2 is the other one has a letter 's'. Other than that, keep up the good work!

Yeah I've been struggling to find ways to present the large amount of guides in a pleasant way, if you have any examples of sites which do this well I would be interested in seeing that.

Tags are added by individual users, so some of them will appear different.

Looks great cant wait to see what you guys do next

Why not merge/upgrade the right sidebar, some of it into one widget. Having a widget that features Events Now, Events Ended and Upcoming Events - this will be really very handy, and encourage user interaction. Like this.sidebar

And also fix the the Trove Livestreams Section, the picture becomes doubled.double

Yes tabbed calendar sounds so much better.

oh.. my suggestion was executed. <3

I'd like to see some more tweaks to the styles of the headers--specifically, the font in H4 seems to be larger than H3--maybe not a larger point size, but the letters rendered to the screen are slightly larger, whatever the reason.

Just to make sure I wasn't imagining it, I screencapped a couple of headers from my Leaderboards guide and compared some letters in an image editor, and the lowercase e is 1 pixel taller and two pixels wider in H4, while the lowercase n is 1 pixel taller but the same width. (Results may vary by browser and OS!)

In any case, I find it harder to recognize the organization structure of a document when different header levels have similar font sizes, and I think it would clean up the appearance of various articles if this got tidied up!

Yeah I can take a look at h4 again :)

This is an easy one for me: Create an overall or main discord/ts chat for Trove. Many players have mics and need questions answered.

Already is one, trovesaurus.com/discord

it would be great to see some new ways to earn mastery easily for lower level characters

How about to make a new homepage that has all the information on trove and all the refer a friend codes

It would be nice to see graphical information about "Today in Trove, like picure that change every 24 hours for what bonus is now in Trove, chaos rotation ect.

Also something with this login system for those who had account via social account.

you should add more images to mods, some still have only one, other (minimal)thing to do is when you are changing your chat icon it should have a button to a site where have all the images of itens/blocks/anyway and below the code(ex:equipment_helm_radiantlord) it was pretty hard to me to do this first time

 

Mod authors are responsible for adding images to their own mods.

Site icon cannot be made any more easier, there is a button for a while

The only suggestion I would make is to continue adding more information to the individual pages on how to get certain unlocks. I noticed you've been adding such texts quite a lot, and that's great, but if I were to go to the Allies page for example there would be a lot of allies with effects or methods of obtaining them yet.

Some unlocks aren't very hard to figure out, but things like the Porter Potty really do require an explanation or guide of sorts. I know that this is a long and rather tedious job for you, but the way I see it it's the only way to improve on the site.

That and perhaps a disclaimer indicating when something is not yet released on the live servers and may be subject to change. I saw a neon ray mag rider which I don't recall seeing anywhere yet. I figured it's a file on the testing server but as it is now there's no confirmation for those who are wondering.

Perhaps write a system in which other people can contribute such information like a wikia, which doesn't immediately change the page but requires you to either confirm or delete the proposed changes. I don't know if this is viable or not, or if you can just assign certain rights to people willing to write this info for you, but such a system would make it a lot easier for you since you won't need to write all of the methods of acquisition yourself. 

Those points aside, just keep up the great work you've been doing!

The website is clear and it's easy to find what you're looking for. Thank you Trovesaurus.

You're welcome, but we'd love your ideas on what to work on next!

So maybe a window with live chat would be useful. People could meet or ask questions about the game :)

You've been doing excellent job, as always.

Thanks, what would you like to see worked on next?

Dont change anything this site is perfect!

 

Things need changing, there are lots of things that need fixing and adding. What would you like to see next?

I would like to see a new mount code tho

 

I think the site is perfect right now, but...i like to see some changes in design, the actual are too Trove and too little Saurus D:

Have any specific suggestions? I'm not a designer, and I've been trying to strip away some site bloat and make it cleaner.

I don't really know what you guys can improve, this site is perfect!

Not perfect, but I'd love to know what aspects of the site you use most so I can make it better!

I think there should be more contest options for in game. Too many Art based themes which some of us who are not skilled or dont have the time never attend. Possibly some Contests for screenshots of dropped items you have found, or maybe some funny contests like. Who can capture the funniest picture of a Streamer. 

I do love the art community, we do need a new build contest, those are a pain to judge though.

Would be nice to be able to navigate through guides more easily ( Maybe if each type of guide "Farming, Flux, etc" directed to a link with the guides in it, instead of showing every guide under each tab ) 
Also, spreadsheets deserve some love, maybe removing the oldest ones, and (even though things like that should be made by players 4 players) there could be an "universal" and updated spreadsheet made by the trovesaurus team.

 

Oh, and the gems page. Even though it's great to have a page dedicated for gems, c'mon, its extremely hard to find anything useful there. First, in the main gem page, there should be a guide explaining how each gem levels , min-max pr, stuff like that, and THEN there could be links wich redirects to a page with every gem of some kind (Class/ Water/ Fire... or maybe Class/ Offensive/ Defensive...)

 

Yep there needs to be a better way to present information on gems.

Spreadsheets are just a list, I do want to gather the userful information and display it directly here so we can maintain it.

I think would be good if certain itens descriptions like flasks and emblens could be edited by normal ppl. There's a lot of itens with no descriptions added. If we could send descriptions to the staff to be avaliated or something like that would complement the site.

Yep this seems reasonable, submit an update and we'll add a moderation queue.

Eisier navigation. couldnt find the database anywhere. also a =n eisier to wya set profile photo.

Database is the 2nd item on the nav menu.

You can set a profile picture by going to a page that has the icon you want, and pressing set as icon.

How could this be easier?

I personally think there should be more class guides added, only having 4 out of like 20 isn't very helpful at times.

There should be a spike chart in Trovesaurus that indicates the number of users that visit the page each day.

 

Also, in Trovesaurus's page would be awesome if can change theme (logo, background, letters,etc) according to the current holiday.

I think you should fix all the lags when theres a daily challenge and everyone just tp, my game literally freezes for 1 minute and sometimes crashes.

This isn't a site suggestion so isn't valid, thanks for trying though.

Just repeat here to join the giveaway └(^o^)┘ 

Fix the generate system for the translation tools

After replacing the old translation values,the generating system generate the file with old values not the new one

 

I think it would be a good idea to improve the pages of items so that they say where they are from.

Fix or help with the servers because we get really bad rendering speed of the map and laggy plays like getting send back in time into the position u were at before. I have a Gtx 980M and i7 desktop. So it probably isn't my laptop because many of my friends experience the same thing!  Thanks for reading! 

I won't be including this as it is game feedback and not for the site. Thanks for trying though.

Create a neat spreadsheet of the xp needed to lvl up, total xp needed to lvl 20, 30 etc.

There is already a Forum thread about it but creating one here would mean that more people would see it (since it's relativly hard to find a thread back from Dec 2015.

Here is the thread: http://forums.trovegame.com/showthread.php?108112-Anyone-have-a-link-to-an-XP-chart&highlight=experience

Give a little bit more love to the Mobile site. Right now, it's displaying less than the original web page, and it's really hard to navigate.

I think a group request system would kinda work well.  Somebody would request for a group typing in Class/PR/What they're looking for [ST, U9 Fire, etc.]  It would be cool to add discord to that too.  If it was possible the bot makes a new chat channel private to that group.

Make leeching during the hourly challenges/zerg rushes less rewarding than actually helping with doing the dungeons.

This is not a valid suggestion for a task on this website.

i wish you can give some like incentives for returning players like some good rewards that can help them catch up max level players. I'm one of those and it's really hard to catch up especially everything is very expensive now :<

Not sure what this has to do with Trovesaurus.

Changing Background!

Bring shoutbox / chatbox back! :D

But Discord! and maybe.

Class description could use a bit more organizing.  There are a lot of class description with duplication and sometimes missing details.

Class descriptions use the values from live servers.

Maybe add something to encourage more contribution?

Having a new change to the ST's to make it more enjoyable than it already is.

Could you add an "approximate droprate" to some items? Like Radiant Steed, Heart of darkness, Cummulus ...

With like x% to be the rare drop of this chesttype, approximately x boxes must be opened to get that. Would make farming alot easyer. (also maybe a possible statroll calculato for gems, like how many gems do i need to farm to get one with exactly these stats?)

All mob stats

You should try making a Looking For Raid type of thing for the ST, the seeker would type in his Class, PR and what boss he wants to clear.

Not sure how useful that would be on this website. Although some form of ST group scheduler might work, but would have a lot of moving parts.

i think you should add a shadow tower section, which will show what type of dungeons will be in what shadow towers for the week. it will make it easier in choosing the fastest tower to farm

Oh it changes per week?

I think there should be a section with player suggestions for the devs. The thing is, personally I feel they don't check out their player's opinions often enough. This could allow more communication between the devs and players.

The forums is the best method to communicate with the devs.

The mods section could use a rework/improvements to make finding cool mods easier. My suggestion is to add Featured mods section on top of the Recent mods on the front page (or remove the recent) that will show the highest rated mods.

For the mods page, I think there should be a better way of rating them or sorting them by rating.

Well, you should remove the new way to login. It take a lot of time for nothing

That's not going to happen, but I will be looking at ways to improve it. I may offer ways for people to login via passwords, but as long as people remember the more information I store, the less secure the site is.

equipment rolls,

  • pictures? visauls helps alot!
  • I tend to think of it as equipment stats (to me that's more intuitive), a linking from that search might be helpful.
  • rings to be added to the list.
  • making a list by the stat (we can only answer so many times where magic find goes) aswell as by the equipment.

Make the layout of the website better

You are welcome to make suggestions.

Add a friend system

What benefits could a friend system have on the site?

Add a insite search bar. 

Search bar is on the top of the site, although its hidden on mobiles.

What about adding some chosen in-game items and/or faces in here that could be entered and used in any comment ? Something like Twitch chat, you enter a command and it'll change the text to an emoji. The chat would look much funkier and I guess people would like it and find many funny ways to use it. This community is pretty creative ^^

Perhaps a way to edit comments? (Unless I'm blind and can't figure out how!)

Users could also have a few default profile icons to choose from (could range from the character classes, various mount/enemy icons, etc) if they're having trouble setting up their own. Maybe even a combination of default choices, and then the option to choose your own through a link directly underneath?

As an after-thought, pages could include a button to make the icon their profile picture by forcibly assigning the image file's name to their Chat Icon section. Though, I'm not in Web Development so I'm not sure on how feasible a minor quality of life change would be on time. Honestly, not a huge concern really!

There is already a button on the pages to set as your profile icon.

Oh I see it now, that's what I get for commenting late at night, thanks!

 One thing I'd like to see would be a page commenting on various synergies between classes, as well as different combos of 8 classes for sts.

 i dont know what its called, but new tab little symbol at the top of the website thing ugh idk lol

Favourite Icon?

mabey you guys should work on a friends syestem?

I recommend adding a thing where people can redeem each other's referal codes so they can get them way easier. Plus I also want the friend referal dragon. :P

Referral codes can already be shown on profile pages, and Gold members can have it featured on every page.

I would like to see a a marketplace with a search bar and you can select an item and it will show the seller so you can contact them.

Could you maybe add some sort of referral code system where everyone has a referral code and if they recommended a friend if they type they're code in both of them would receive some sort of small reward. Thanks! 

Maybe although referring on this site might be a bit weird. Not much I could offer them, perhaps when I add Trovesaurus Points and Badges, I can hook it into Gold time etc.

It would be nice to show in the right sidebar the last ended event.

Yeah that's reasonable, I do find myself digging through the calendar sometimes.

Trovesaurus should get a full on marketplace which shows every item thats being sold on trove at the moment, Yes it probably would be to big of a update but you could have stats for averages of certain items or what the best deal is and stuff like that.

We have player submitted data, we can't have anything other than this.

I think that will be great IF you guys implement to website scrit what will allow connect this website account Wirth Trove account and thx this we was able to see on each item that is on our collection in game without opening game itself. Ruch a thing will help for many in future website contest's.

We have no ability to connect Trovesaurus to your Trove account.

A build page that works like the character's menu in trove, showing the gear/allies/flasks/emblems/gems with its description and hot to get, it would me much more practical and intuitive

The builds section does need to be rebuilt yes

maybe implement the latest post or two from the dev tracker on the side similar to the news...

Sounds reasonable.

Dro

I should like to see more detail page on classes and builds wich stats affect skills.

I'd like see more detail page on classes and builds wich stats affect skills or something else.

Perhaps make it easier to select a custom profile image?

change id to ign name "2"

Same, change id to ign name

Maybe showing the profile icons that we could choose from? Since I myself don't know how ._.

I'd like to be able to change my Trovesaurus ID to my in-game name. I'm still listed here under my own real name (which I had to register on the site with through Google+ when the login system was through that instead of E-mail)

Will sort that tonight probably :)

Information on how to obtain certain items is still missing in many places. Additionally, you should display that information not only on the overview page where all items of the same category are listed, but also on the items' pages themselves. Like you already do with craftables.

2 ModLoaders can't show Mod Preview images. can fix?

The Trovesaurus API is returning the under construction image for all the preview images currently

Fixed!

More original contests like the baking one! That was awesome last time so more ideas like that would be sweet

I like original contests, we just finished up with our first Cosplay one too.

I don't know if comments in pages of the database are fixed, if not, it could be a good option because when anybody comment any page appeared in all of that, as a general chat for a lot of pages. For example, when I have a question about prism of light, another person aswered about another thing because he saw that comment in the incorrect page.

Should be, I tested and included it in the fixes above.

https://www.trovesaurus.com/class/adventurer

 It'll be great if all classes had a "home page" like that, usefull for beginners and people who are kinda lost with their gems stats

Working on that :)

  • Commenting and voting once again no longer triggers a page reload

I prefer commenting to trigger a page reload or at least update the comment section with your new comment after you click Submit.

Yeah it should probably show your comment after you post.

I'm surprised that the "Gems! How do they work! guide isn't one of the most popular. I'm guessing its in the top 10 though. That could probably use an appearance update also.

Set up for ultra runs

What i would like, it's an access to our market without to need to enter in the game XD, maybe in this site, just an access to our market and inventory and can check the "sales" and renew them. I don't know if it's possible, but in other games we can do this via app or site web.

This isn't possible, Trion doesn't expose any of this data to us.

too bad :(. But thanks for the fast answer ;).

maybe backgrounds for profile pictures

Ah yes, I did want to do that one for each biome.

Please fix the contest page and system,and all chest loots.

Please could you be specific?

A page that lists/saves the weekly rotation of Chaos Chests top loots and contests.

*Not sure if Im the only one who wants this but I see this to be very helpful*

Chaos Chest loot has its own page as listed above, Contests will soon.

NIIIICE! :D

I hope that we can easily access older week/s records for both. XD

Maybe you could fix the contest voting system. Just saying cause people want that back.
