PTS Patch Notes - Trove Adventures - October 19, 2017

IntroductionTop ^

Welcome to the initial public testing period for the Trove – Adventures expansion! These notes provide detailed information about all the great new systems and content available with the update. While most of the features are nearing completion, please be aware that the content you experience may change prior to release of the update. This includes recipe ingredients, reward values, availability of systems, and gameplay balance. You will notice that some systems have yet to receive a final treatment but part of that is also due to us leaving room to incorporate your feedback. We know that there are a ton of notes but appreciate you taking the time to skim through them. 

Some systems (like Tethering) are in a phase. This means we need to evaluate how they perform in a populated environment before we add them to the live game. If you see the tag on an update note, please try it out and let us know what you think. We hope you enjoy playing Trove – Adventures!

Character Copy to PTSTop ^

• Characters can now be copied from Live PC to PTS by using the /exportaccount command on Live. This will not copy club worlds.
• This will completely overwrite your PTS character with your Live character, including your cornerstones.

Clubs 2.0Top ^

• Welcome to a new club experience.
• The entire club UI has been renovated to support Adventures, Fixtures, and all the new Club Permissions. – open the club UI and use the Gear button to see all the specifics for that club!
• Clubs can now level up as players complete adventures from the club. The club’s level controls what fixtures are available. There is a daily cap on the amount of experience a club can gain that scales with the number of members.
• There is now a Club HQ building in the hub world, replacing the club portals.
• The Club HQ has portals that lead to club worlds which are:
  • Popular (based on likes)
  • Small but Active
  • New Fixtures (based on clubits spent in the past week)
  • High Power Rating
  • Random
• To appear in the Club HQ portals, a club must have spent at least 1 clubit in the past week; this is to prevent inactive clubs from appearing.
• Going through these portals will place the player at the Rally of Heroes fixture in that Club World.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the first person in a club to log in was not listed as online within the club UI.
• Club names are now displayed below the player’s name – an option to hide these can be found in the Settings menu.

Club AdventuresTop ^

• Heroes (Adventure NPCs) can be spawned at the Rally of Heroes fixture in a Club World.
• Heroes are classified in several rarities: Common (White), Uncommon (Green), Rare (Blue), Epic (Purple), and Legendary (Orange).
• Each Hero will remain spawned at the Rally of Heroes for a set amount of time. During their visit, they may fall asleep. These specifics may be managed by a Club Member with the necessary Permissions on the Adventures tab of the Club window.
• The type of Adventures that Heroes give out may change over time. Their specific adventure tables are also improved by the addition of the Repose of Heroes fixture.
• Completing Adventures grants a new type of reward currency called Adventurine (Inventory > Flux Tab > Dragon Coin Tab > Club > Adventurine). Patrons receive a bonus 33% Adventurine.
• Players can complete up to 220 Adventures per day – this cap is intended to be higher than any player is likely to complete in one day.
• Adventurine can be spent to buy these rewards:
  • New Club décor from the female merchant in the Club HQ at the Hub World
  • New Mounts, Styles, Allies and LED Block Recipes from the male merchant in the Club HQ at the Hub World
  • At the Travelling Merchant fixture (Tier 1-3) in a Club World
    • Must be a member of the club to access the Travelling Merchant
    • T2, and T3 Travelling Merchants sell additional items for Adventurine like Blocktron Dragon Egg Fragments, Club Empowered Gem Boxes, Aura: Atom Sphere, and Aura: Restless Remnants
    • Club Empowered Gem Boxes contain a random, guaranteed Radiant Empowered Gem
  • Converted to Clubits at a 10:1 ratio at the Clubit Minting Machine on the Trovian Clubit Union or T1/T2 Travelling Merchant fixtures
  • Converted to Clubits at an 85:10 ratio at the Grand Clubit Minting Machine on the Tier 3 Travelling Merchant fixture
• Only a limited number of Adventures may be taken simultaneously – the current limit is 3 from your primary club, and 3 from other people’s clubs.
• Incomplete Adventures will disappear from the Adventure Window one week after they were taken.
• Adventures are completed immediately when their objectives are finished regardless of the player’s location or if the NPC is still spawned.
• When an Adventure is completed, Club Experience is granted to the club it was taken from.
• Unwanted adventures can be abandoned at will.
• (PTS only) The Hero NPCs are still being a bit shy and are refusing to get their pictures taken until they collectively have a good hair day. Don’t worry, they’ll have icons in the Adventure window before the update goes live.

Club FixturesTop ^

• Fixtures are buildings that can be placed in Club Worlds to unlock mechanics, buffs, and even loot chance increases.
• Benefits from Fixtures only apply in PVE – no placing a Mount Menagerie to get bonus jump in Battle Arenas!
• At level 1, clubs can only place Base fixtures. Additional fixture slots will unlock as the club levels up.
• Fixtures can be purchased from the Merchants located on the Trovian Clubit Union fixture. They can be upgraded, placed, or removed by a Club Member with the necessary Permissions on the Fixtures tab of the Club window.
• The active benefits granted by each fixture can be viewed from the Club list (only for the primary club) and also from the Fixtures tab.
• Fixtures cost Clubits up front when placed. Each fixture can be upgraded twice for additional Clubits (and an additional increase in weekly costs!)
• Fixtures require rent (paid weekly) to keep their buffs activated. Placing a fixture for the first time will immediately charge the upkeep cost; upgrading a fixture does not immediately charge rent again, but will increase it.
• There are 4 types of Fixtures: Base, Combat, Utility, and Ultimate.
• Base Fixtures:

• A club may only have 1 President. At the release of the Adventures update the Leader (VP) with the most tenure/activity will be promoted to the President rank.
• If the President of a club becomes inactive for more than 30 days a new President will automatically be promoted based on VP activity.
• Club permissions are no longer linked to specific ranks within the club. The Club President and any other ranks that have access to “EditPermissions” can define what members can do within a club world.
• Default permissions are defined for each rank and these settings are largely based on the range of permissions that existed prior to the introduction of this system.
• Club permissions may be enabled or disabled on the Permissions tab of the Club UI.
• Permissions List:
  • Modify – The default setting that allows a player to build (modify) in a club world. All club world zones may be modified by anyone who has this permission attached to their rank by default. Specific settings can be set per club world zone using the ‘/zonerestrict’ command as detailed in the AccessControl permission.
  • AccessControl – Allows the player to use the ‘/zonerestrict’ command to define Basic, Modify, or Expert modification permissions per Club World zone. The ‘/zonerestrict’ command now uses arguments of <basic/modify/expert/nobody> instead of <architect/officer/member/nobody>. The player using the command must be standing inside club world zone they intend to restrict.
  • BasicModify – Grants the ability to build (modify) in a club zone that has been sanctioned with the ‘/zonerestrict basic’ setting.

Adventures WindowTop ^

• The Adventures Window is a consolidated place to view all available Adventures (formerly known as the golden thread). Press the Menu button on XB1, the Options Button on PS4, or the “I” key on PC to access it.
• Choose what to show in the HUD: Club Adventures, Event Adventures, or Expertise Adventures. Even control whether to see the Star Bar or Tomes Bar.
• All new players who hit character level 8 will gain a new series of Expertise Adventures teaching them how to build, bomb, collect recipes, craft, place Frameworks, create Workbenches, and more. Older players will also receive these Adventures.
• The option to hide challenges and objectives has been moved out of settings and can now be found in the Adventures Window.

FrameworksTop ^

• Framework recipes have been added to the Workbench, Forbidden Workbench, Haunted Workbench, Candy Workbench, Store, and Mastery Rewards. These new recipes allow players to craft and place entire structures in their Club World.
• The Forbidden Workbench now has Advanced Frameworks. These recipes have a rare chance to drop from Forbidden Spires recipe dungeons.
• The Radiant Watchtower and Shadowy Watchtower can be found in the store, each of which grant one ready to place framework and unlock the recipe.
• Once placed, these Frameworks cannot be picked up again. They can only be deconstructed into individual blocks and decorations.
• Blocks that overlap where a Framework are placed are dropped as loot.
  Forbidden Spires Biome
• The Forbidden Spires, a peaceful and ancient place, has been discovered. This biome appears in low-level worlds, and is the featured biome in Uber-6.
• A new crafting material, Cinnabar, can be found in the Forbidden Spires biome.
• New Forbidden Spires decoration recipes have been added to the recipe dungeons in the biome.
• A new workbench, the Forbidden workbench, has been added to the Builder’s Crafting Bench. Craft one to craft Forbidden Spires decorations and frameworks.
• Monsters in the Forbidden Spires biome will rarely drop Fiery Feathers. Collect 100 along with other materials to craft Onbari, Empress of the Southern Skies on the Forbidden workbench.
• Panda Mounts can now be crafted on the Adventurer's Crafting Bench using Panda Talismans, which are rarely found in Uber 8 and higher adventure worlds.
• The Spire Spirits Adventure Box – containing the Frolicksome Fox Spirit and Crimson-Crested Crane mounts – can now drop from any world.

Tethering [Public Evaluation]Top ^

• Tethers are a new way for players to group up and share XP and loot. Each tether gets an icon and name, and by default these appear in nameplates and in the upper left corner of the UI.
• To create a tether, just use the Tether hotkey and look at another player to automatically invite them to a tether. The same hotkey can be used to leave an existing tether or kick another player. (Only the tether’s leader can kick a member.)
• By default, the tethering hotkey is Ctrl-E on PC. On Xbox and PS4, tethering actions can be performed by holding down the button used to switch between adventure and build mode.
• XP and loot from killing NPCs is now distributed only to individual players and members of a tether that have dealt damage to that NPC.
