Hey folks,

We’re beyond excited to share the new competitive multiplayer mode coming to Trove this summer: Trove Bomber Royale!

What’s Trove Bomber Royale mode?
We’re glad you asked! Trove Bomber Royale is a frenetic new competitive combat mode coming to Trove in our next big expansion later this summer. Your mission? To be the last Trovian standing.

Up to 20 Trovians can hop into a Bomber Royale match but once 15 players join up the countdown begins to kick off the match. You’ll find yourself on a glass platform where you can position yourself on the map in whatever way suits your play style.

Once the start timer runs out the platform begins to quickly disintegrate allowing players to fall down onto the arena map below.

How’s it different from the Battle Arena?
Another great question! Bomber Royale achieves a completely balanced competitive environment by giving all Trovians the same two core abilities: Rubber Bombs and Climbing Claw.

Rubber Bombs are thrown explosives that bounce off the first surface they hit and explode on the second surface.

Climbing Claw is a grappling hook that sticks into the terrain and pulls you to the point of contact. This is great for saving yourself from falling off the arena map, escaping incoming attacks, or getting up close and personal with other players who look like they could use a bouncing bomb to the kidneys.

What else can we look forward to in Bomber Royale?
Bomber Royale maps come littered with power ups. Run through a power up block on the map to claim that powerup as your own. These power ups can reduce the cooldown of your attacks, empower your other attacks with devastating modifications, and much more!





We have to warn you that the Bomber Royale maps are completely destructible and literally everyone has an unlimited collection of bombs. If that’s not scary enough, the map will disintegrate over time so players are going to struggle to find sure footing by the time the match is down to the last few players.





After you’re victorious, or if you’re somehow defeated, you can queue up for the next match or jump back into the Hub. If you’re new to Trove, or just looking to level up a new class, Trove Bomber Royale gives XP so you can level up while kicking cubic butt!

In addition to the sweet, sweet XP you can also look forward to an all-new reward system for Trove Bomber Royale. More news on that to come down the road.

You’ll be able to test Trove Bomber Royale mode very soon and we’re excited to hearing your feedback. Look forward to more power ups and new maps being added in the future!

Trove Bomber Royale mode will launch with our big summer expansion, but it’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @TroveGame to stay up to date on all the latest news coming in the weeks ahead.

Hey folks,

We've been seeing several reports of issues with the Daily Star Bar event not properly giving the bonus payout in Cubits and Flux.

After investigating the bug it appears the amount of Flux and Cubits awarded is correct but the Claims window is just displaying the standard payout amount for Cubits.

We'll check this bug out to make sure it doesn't happen again. Please spread the word that the amounts of actual Flux and Cubits received is correct, despite the display error in Claims.

Thanks!

Update 1 - We're back online! Thanks, all.

Hey folks,

Trove is coming offline at 7AM PDT (2PM UTC) on Tuesday, May 8, 2018 for maintenance. In addition to the maintenance we are rolling out a hotfix to reduce how frequently players will get stuck on World: Login when logging into Trove.

Downtime may last up to 4 hours but we're hopeful to wrap up before that. We'll update this post when we come back online.

Thanks!

Luxion of the Golden Hoard is a gorgeous dragon who returns to the Hub twice a month to trade goods for Dragon Coins.

You'll find Luxion near the Dragon Crucible starting on May 3rd. Luxion's wares have been tweaked to bring about an infusion of awesomeness. Luxion will vanish at 4AM PDT (11AM GMT) on May 6, so don't wait!

The items Luxion is offering up on this visit are:

• Turkey Throne mount
• Starry Shmeep mount
• Chaos Hound mount
• Samantha ally
• Sun-Touched Shimmerwing ally
• Ladylike Bugbite helm style
• Shadow Bugbite helm style
• Luxion's Automagical Recycler

Luxion's loot is a way for players who missed limited time items in the past to pick them up directly. You'll also find brand new items at a higher Dragon Coin price periodically. Items will repeat eventually, but it may take a while for a specific piece of loot to return so be sure to check back on every visit!

Luxion's visits will generally arrive just before a weekend in the beginning and middle of each month, disappearing at 4AM PDT (11AM GMT) on Sunday.

Hey all,

We're doing a bit of maintenance tomorrow that shouldn't have much impact on your play experience. Since there is a chance that you may run into a slightly longer load time when changing worlds we wanted to make sure to explain that this is a result of the maintenance.

It should last up to 3 hours but may wrap up sooner. If there is an impact on performance on the PC we may need to bring the servers offline until the maintenance is completed. With all that said, we have done maintenance of this type before with no impact but we want to make sure to give you all a head's up.

Thanks

Update - We're back online, folks!

Hey folks,

We're bringing Trove offline for a quick restart on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 8AM PDT (3PM GMT). The restart on PC is needed to implement an increase in Plasmium drops but this is a server-side change so there is no patch needed.

The downtime should be under 30 minutes.

Thanks!

Hey folks!

On Tuesday, April 24 at 8AM PDT (3PM GMT) we're bringing Trove offline for maintenance. There's no patch with this maintenance.

Downtime may last up to 3 hours but we'll bring each platform back online whenever it is ready to go.

Thanks
