Trove Console Beta Update 2

Last week we discussed a few of our plans for our console beta. Click here to read up on those plans. This week we’d like to share some of the amazing changes just on the horizon!

We’re currently focused on our Beta Patch, adding fixes for the majority of crashes impacting the Trove console beta. Once this patch is in place, we’ll be one huge step forward toward official launch.

A couple of major changes that are coming down the road are overhauls to important User Interface (UI) elements. Your Inventory is going to get much cleaner and our updated Loot Collector is, literally, a game changer.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Currently on consoles, you have a section of Inventory for building materials and a section for everything else. While there can be beauty in simplicity, there is also something to be said about adding a few extra layers to improve sorting and finding items.

How will the new Inventory menu work?

• The new Inventory system has three tabs: Adventure, Building, and a new tab for Crafting. This tab displays a Flux icon.
• The Adventure and Building inventories work as they do now.
• When you click your Crafting inventory tab you’ll see a list of items, followed by how many of each you currently possess.

• At the bottom of the Crafting inventory are three more tabs: Currency, Components, and Gems.

• The first tab (Currency) contains currencies like Flux and Glim, various crafting items, fishing materials, as well as supplies used in gardening.
• The second tab (Components) keeps track of materials used for unlocking Dragons, Chaos Cores, Shadow Tower keys, Fragments of Wonder, and Holiday goodies.
• The third, and final tab, is for Gems. This is where you’ll find Gem Dust, Class Gem Key Fragments, and Gem Boosters.

These changes will allow you to find specific materials more easily and store them in much higher quantities, all while keeping the size of the Inventory menu the same.

LOOT COLLECTOR
The Loot Collector is a very helpful feature, but it’s not as easy to use on consoles as we’d like in its current state. With the release patch, you’ll get the updated Loot Collector, to make every aspect of the system work better.

• Accessing the Loot Collector will import any item from your character’s inventory that can be loot collected into the menu.
• High value items will be locked to avoid accidentally destroying them. Notice the small lock icon on the right side of the window.

• Lock and unlock individual items using the X button on Xbox One or Square on PS4.
• If you unlock the item and accidentally collect or destroy it, you have the ability to use the Buyback option.
• Using Buyback will remove the materials received when collecting the item and will return the item to your inventory.
• Press one button to Collect All unlocked items (Y on Xbox One and Triangle on PS4) or go through each item one by one to collect them individually – whatever works best for you!
• Each time you access the Loot Collector your unlocked items will appear at the top and your locked items will be sorted down at the bottom.

We’ll continue to work on improvements for all aspects of the game during beta testing. Your feedback is vital to us so please keep it coming!
