Delves PTS Patch Notes

March 20, 2020 (updated 3 years ago) by Trove Forums
Source: forums.trovegame.com

Introduction

Welcome to the initial public testing period for Trove - Delves! These notes provide information about the great new system and changes available with the update. Please be aware that the delve content has yet to receive a final treatment but this is partially to allow us to incorporate your feedback. We hope you enjoy playing Trove - Delves!

Delves

A Note on Delve Balance

The Delve system attempts to match groups of random players with appropriate challenges. But to do this successfully it needs lots of data about just how difficult those challenges are. Thus, especially in the early days, the challenges you face in a Delve may be way too easy, or way too hard. This is why we need players not just giving feedback, but also actively trying to get as deep as they can, giving the Delve system as much data as we can so that it can make a more balanced experience

  • Delves are a new type of gameplay, combining the gameplay of the Geode caves with procedurally generated endless combat! Run through a delve, complete the objectives, and then defeat the boss quickly for rewards and the opportunity to keep going deeper! As the depth increases, so do the challenges and the rewards.
  • There are 3 kinds of delves – public delves, private delves, and challenge delves. Currently only public and private delves are available.
  • Once queued for a delve of any type, the player will stay queued even after going to another world (there will be a bright delve “idea” glowing overhead as a reminder.)
  • Players who log out while queued will be unqueued.
  • Up to eight players can enter any delve. Note that this is not eight players at a time – each delve is locked to those eight unique players.
  • Delves allow players to use their modules from the geode caves as well as engaging in combat – unlike adventure worlds where players switch between combat and build mode, in delves players switch between combat and discovery mode.
  • Delves are a dangerous place. If the player dies, allies will be able to resurrect them in four seconds.
  • Each death will increase the time it takes to release by five seconds – i.e. the first death will take five seconds, the second death ten seconds, the third death fifteen, etc. (This accumulated time is reset when the lair boss is available and on advancing to the next depth.) Ressurrection by allies always only takes four seconds.
  • Releasing in a delve will return the player to the beginning of that delve tier, but there is an intra-Delve Transport that will teleport the player forward to the farthest fully cleared room.
  • Whenever all creatures in a room are defeated, that room will be “checkpointed” and be made available for fast travel from the entrance. A checkpointed room will have a blue glow appear somewhere in the room, and the room’s box in the tier progress bar will be highlighted.
  • When a boss is activated, any players still working their way through the path to the lair will be offered a teleport to the lair room to join in the fight. If the prompt is missed (possibly due to food delivery!), the player might miss out on the loot but will still teleport you to the group in deeper depths.
  • Delves have modifiers signified by Deltaliths, visible in the first room and in the lair room. There are many of these modifiers, including ones that make enemies only take damage in melee range, have reduced health and take extra damage, increased or reduced Darkness, and many more.
  • Delves are themed around existing biomes with a few surprises – initially on PTS brave the depths of The Hive, the Saurian Swamp, or rarely a special surprise biome.
  • The hive delves introduce a new liquid, honey! Honey increases health regen for players who stand in it, but will also dismount and slow down movement. (There are no fish that can survive in honey – it’s the birds and the bees, not the fish and the bees.)
  • Delve objectives are also variable – some delves will ask players to defeat any enemies or specific enemies, while others will ask for crystals or ore to be gathered.
  • One new objective type called Monoliths asks players to hunt down a number of Monoliths, engage them, and defeat all of the spawned enemies.
  • A boss trophy appears before every boss room to give a quick indication of what boss players will be facing. The lair will also have Deltaliths indicating what challenges will accompany the boss.
  • If the boss is reached and defeated fast enough, a Ready Station will appear. Interact with it and stay close by to speed up how fast the portal to the next level will appear!
  • If the team took too long to reach or defeat the boss, a sign will appear and not allow access to the next delve level. Don’t worry – the next delve is always just a queue away.
  • A personal chest, a shadow key mold, and more might appear after the boss is defeated. Flasks should automatically refill once the boss is initially summoned and again once the Ready Station is created.
  • Pell is available after the lair boss is defeated to allow players to switch between modules.
  • Expert delvers may learn to spot signs in the delve path that will indicate which way leads to the lair – it can be easy to get turned around in the middle of combat. Note that while these indicators are useful, some harder delves may have this indicator removed.

Public Delves

  • To enter a public delve, find the delve entrance in the hub where the Bomber Royale building used to be located, then just interact with the portal to enter the queue. The maximum amount of time spent in the queue should be no more than 10 minutes. Interact with the portal again at any time to unqueue from the public delve.
  • When queuing for a public delve, be aware that only the class active when queuing will be allowed. Private delves allow switching between classes at any time.
  • The Bomber Royale portal is still available in the hub – look for it and the merchants in a small tent near where they used to be located.
  • Mounts and wings can be used in public delves. (Ganda’s special ability will not work in Delves.)
  • /joinme can be used to reinvite players who may have disconnected, but cannot be used to invite players for the first time in to a public delve.

Private Delves

  • A private delve matchmaker can be placed anywhere, but once placed anyone can use it to register for that delve.
  • A single matchmaker can be placed while in build mode. Placing the matchmaker will automatically queue the player for the private delve. Up to seven more players can use the placed matchmaker to be queued with the owner.
  • The owner of a private delve matchmaker can interact with the matchmaker – the first interaction will send a message to all queued players to get ready, and the second interaction will rush the queue and send everyone in to the delve. If at any time a full set of eight players are queued, the matchmaker will immediately trigger and force everyone in to the delve.
  • If a private delve matchmaker is broken using the mining laser, it will return to the owner’s inventory and unqueue all queued players. If every nearby player instead runs away from it, it will unqueue everyone and destroy itself.
  • Private delves allow players to change their class at will.
  • The /joinme command can be used to invite more players (up to a maximum of eight unique players in to a delve).
  • Note that private delves are much stricter on what items and mounts can be used. Only delve mounts and wings may be used in private delves.

Delve Rewards

  • After defeating the boss, a chest will appear! (Different kinds of chests?)
  • A new type of collectible can be found in Delves – Mementos. Each Memento grants mastery and is based on the enemies experienced in the delve.
  • Shadow Shards are now available from picking up the crystals inside of delves after a certain depth.
  • A new currency – Inert Geodes – can be acquired inside the Delves. Only a certain amount of this currency can be obtained at any given time, so make sure to use it before hitting the cap!
  • The currency cap for Inert Geodes can be increased by obtaining an Inert Geode Wallet.
  • Inert Geodes can be used to purchase mounts and wings that will work in private delves, along with private delve gateways and a new set of allies.
  • Delve allies can be found in appropriate biomes or crafted at the Delve Workbench.
  • Some of the Shadow Tower bosses have crept in to Delves and in the process have picked up some new mounts! Hydrakken has been unable to move his wall underground, but the others can occasionally be found. Daughter of the Moon has acquired 3 new mounts, while Pinata God, Spikewalker, and Weeping Prophet have all acquired 1 new mount.
  • In addition to Crystal gear, Delves is the only place where Crystal 4 is available, but only for the most intrepid and hardened of explorers!
  • Delves also give 6 badges for completion of Public, Private, and Challenge delves.

Vaca-matic Module

  • The Vaca-Matic, a new module, is now craftable at the Module Workbench. The Vaca-matic sucks in nearby crystals.
  • Crystals now have a small internal cooldown on giving back energy and reducing grappling hook cost.

Additional Updates
  • Delve Private Matchmakers will now use the queuing players' current class when determining initial depth, rather than their most powerful class (similar to how public delves work). You can still switch classes in private delves.
  • Players are now offered a chance to teleport to a delve lair once all of the path objectives have been completed and someone is close to the lair rather than waiting until the boss has actually been summoned.
  • Binding Darkness drop chance in Delves has been increased, and a slight chance for it to drop from any creature in Delves has also been added.
  • Shadow Caches can now drop from Shadowy Soul Vault.
  • Antumbral deltalith added: Over time you'll notice that some rooms in Uber-8 or higher delves will contain monsters with less darkness defense.
  • The Heavy Pressurized Chest now drops a minimum of 3 items (and up to 5 at deeper depths); the Pressurized Chest can now drop up to 3 items at deeper depths.

Additional Updates
  • We feel like players expect Trove combat to be fast, so delves themselves should also be fast. Accordingly, we've reduced the amount of time given to complete paths and bosses. Over time, this should result in the system preferring combinations that are faster to complete.

  • Geode Cave Module Adjustments:
    • The final rank of Path Painter upgrade now only applies in Geode Caves.

  • 7 new delve recipes for advanced tracking potions can now be found on Geodian Merchants that appear within Delves.
  • 27 new Decorative Banner recipes have been added to the merchants who can spawn after a delve boss, which can be crafted at the Delve Workbench in the hub

Additional Updates
  • Challenge delves are now available!
    • Challenge Delves represent a weekly challenge for all delvers to strive against.
    • Every depth of a Challenge Delve will have the same objectives and creatures for all players that week.
    • Challenge Delves start at Depth 110 every week.
    • Any time a group completes both the objective and boss before the timer runs out will "lock in" progress on that depth for the week. Once progress has been locked in, the delve will progress to the next depth. Once a depth is completed in Challenge Delves, it will not be repeated for that week.
    • Challenge Delve portals can be obtained from the Delve Workbench, and the entry depth will be set by the owner's challenge depth.
    • At the end of the week, each player's achieved challenge depth will decay by 8, but will never drop below 110.
    • Leaderboards will track not only the deepest depths, but also which group cleared any 3 consecutive tiers in the fastest time.
    • Class switching is allowed in Challenge Delves, but /joinme or using the friends list to join are not.

  • A new Challenge Delve Gateway, "Easy," can be crafted at the Delve Workbench. This takes users into the Weekly Challenge Delve, but the starting Depth is always 110.

  • More powerful than a depth-charge, D4 Bombs are now available via unlockable recipe on the delve workbench.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented the rare banners from the Pressure Locked Delver's Cache from being deconstructed for their decorative versions.
  • Delve Merchants:

    • lasts 60+ seconds (scales as it is upgraded)
    • reduces incoming damage by 15-35%
    • synergizes with a level 6+ Vaca-matic if it is also equipped, allowing the shield to occasionally pull in enemies when struck with it active.

  • Corruption in Neon Underground, growths in Q'Bthulhu's Realm, and loot stacks in Flakbeard's Hideaway should never block monoliths nor entirely obscure path arrows.
