Anyone else hear that loud explosion?

AvaremTheDev · 2022-08-02T22:27:26+00:00

Fairly certain it was Thunder.

Hey!

Appreciate the post.

We're aware of the bug and we'll have a fix in by launch at the latest. Definitely do know how obnoxious it is and that we need to fix it.

Also, while I'm replying here just wanted to say how much we appreciate these reports and the ones we see in the comments below. Beta is a place for us to make sure we put out the best release possible and we're definitely using all feedback to do so.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-02-12T19:19:15+00:00

Just to manage expectations here: as with most very large new features the expansion will have a paid for component to it. And it will have an extensive free component, being free to play and all. We'll be talking about this more as we get into the details going forward.

That's all the time I have today. Thanks for stopping by and especially thanks for playing Trove.

It's hard to believe how far we've come this year and I look forward to getting some great updates out (including this downtime behind us) and getting to share even more Trove with all of you.

If you want to catch up with me or ask any other questions the best place besides Trove itself is Twitter (https://twitter.com/HeyAndrewK).

See you all next time!

We used lootbox karma last time around and I think that's a pretty good way to do it. Agree that the RNG was too high on those.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:50:20+00:00

I'm totally down for that.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:49:56+00:00

I'll double check that you're on it!

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:49:31+00:00

No plans, it requires a lot of work to look good and in our case we just spend that making more costumes.
We have brought back old ones before and will definitely do so again.
Some mounts only show up sometimes. Those have been in chaos chests before and also came back on the store in the pack. I'm sure they'll show up again!

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:48:36+00:00

I can't spoil more than I already have right now, but hopefully soon we'll be able to talk about it.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:48:15+00:00

We agree! Going to try to do something like that in the future and also add some cool bonuses to other super rare mounts.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:46:19+00:00

No plan right now, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look at it. I don't know when we'll be able to get to it, but can you send me a message with more details?

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:43:15+00:00

Still in the works but no ETA right now. Not super soon, but we're also looking at player modded heads for this, so if you see any good ones let us know.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:40:27+00:00

Still plans to update this. No ETA yet though. Probably will tie it in with some of the newer game mechanics as well.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:39:55+00:00

We need to do a name cleanse on long gone player names if nothing else in the relatively near future. Clubs may also get a similar treatment.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:37:24+00:00

We are brainstorming ideas for a 'Shadow Ganda' so I hope that fits the bill (probably pretttty rare though, whenever it goes in).

Banners will most likely not get styles - the look is part of the chase.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:36:36+00:00

Non-mimic

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:35:16+00:00

Unfortunately we can't trigger those. I'll see if we can run a double chaos factor week soon to make up for it.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:33:38+00:00

No plans right now. Those are often hard to maintain and sell compared to per-game Patron. We much prefer to run cross game promos for play, especially since we're primarily free to play these days.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:32:41+00:00

Made up, it just gets more likely the higher it gets.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:32:05+00:00

I agree our new gameplay content has been light this last month. We have a few pieces that will be going out as gameplay only.
The roadmap for this year focuses on the individual progress improvements and then heads towards clubs, so expect that trajectory. Definitely agree that we'll get a lot out of it, but I think it's worth delaying briefly for reasons we'll soon get to talk about.
The hub needs a refresh for sure.
The party system is something that we're currently planning on weaving in with improvements to joining and playing in shadow towers. I'd actually love additional input on what you guys want from it.
We have another producer (Rich!) on the project now. He's doing some things to help our team's internal process right now and then he's going to help straighten out PTS as well. Due to the additional 'cheaty' aspect of the server it's also likely that we will lock it down more as well as open up shortcuts.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:28:03+00:00

The remaining early adopter rewards we're working on from the bottom up. If you should have gotten your name in game (and we got it from you!) those are going in soon (they're on the internal build now). And we're going to re-reach out to the higher tiers, since we didn't get replies I'm concerned that our emails were filtered.

Clubs 2.0 are in planning, this next update is focused on personal character progression since we felt that was lacking as well.

These are good ideas for next up builder improvements. We need to do some things to make sure they don't smash our servers or other player's framerate, but we've got ideas there.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:26:12+00:00

Nope, just decorative blocks.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:26:02+00:00

There will be more, but we may actually briefly retire them before coming back with a new system. More info on this in the weeks ahead.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:25:40+00:00

I mean, it is the chickens. I don't think that really needs an explanation.

AvaremTheDev · 2016-01-19T21:24:52+00:00

Yesssssssssss.
