Welcome to Trove: Rematch! PvP has returned to Trove, and it’s better than ever. Fight for glory, dominance, and epic loot! Jump into Battle Mode and queue straight into Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, or Bomber Royale, where rebuilt matchmaking gets you into a fight fast and rebalanced stat scaling means your skill decides the match, not just your gear. Every victory earns Battle Coins to spend at the Battle Bench, and every placement pushes you up the new PvP leaderboards. The arena is open! Trovians its time for the rematch!
Some aspects of this patch are still in some level of development, please excuse some dust!
BATTLE MODE – PvP Returns!:
- Bomber Royale is now Battle Mode, the new home for every kind of PvP in Trove.
- Head to the PvP area in the Hub and step through the portal to queue up, or queue straight from the navigation menu.
- Battle Mode has its own currency: the Battle Coin, earned by taking part in matches.
- The Bomber Bench is now the Battle Bench, with a new set of recipes to spend your Battle Coins on.
Game Modes:
- Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, and Bomber Royale are all in the queue.
- Several PvP maps have had a fresh pass, and the total pool of maps is 35 different maps!
Matchmaking and Match Flow:
- Loading screens name the mode you are heading into and explain how it is played.
Please note: the Assets and text for this is placeholder - Leaving a match before it ends blocks you from the PvP queue for 30 minutes. You are warned and asked to confirm before you go, disconnecting counts as leaving, and the timer keeps running while you are offline.
- If nobody new has joined your lobby for a couple of minutes and the match still has not started, you will be told you are free to leave with no penalty.
PvP Stat Scaling:
- Your stats inside a PvP match are calculated from the stats you carry outside of it. Your gear, your gems and your class all still count, and a better-equipped Trovian still walks in stronger.
- What changes is the gap. Scaling follows a curve that rises quickly at first and then flattens out: early progress carries across almost in full, while the higher a stat climbs, the less each further point is worth once you are in a match.
- Class roles still apply on top of all this, so a tank is still tankier than a glass cannon and every class still feels like itself.
- The character sheet shows your scaled PvP stats while in a match.
PvP Rewards and Progression:
- Battle Boxes are earned through PVP can be opened for rewards.
- Please note: The Battle Boxes and Leaderboards are still work in progress.
- PvP levels have been reset for all players.
General PvP:
- Stuns and slows now have diminishing returns. The first one to land runs its full duration, each one after it lands shorter than the last, and once enough have landed in a row you shrug them off entirely for a short time.
- Stuns and slows are tracked separately, so being chained with slows will never make you immune to stuns, or the other way around.
- Revenant: Spirit Spears costs less health to keep active in PvP.
- Shadow Hunter can no longer attack through walls in PvP.
Tiny Quests:
- A number of pets that were missing the “flying” synergy now have it.
- Tiny Recipe: Tiny Enchantment: Rootfoot now works as intended.
- The Tiny Quest Pathfinder shows the Frogginator 3000 and FROBBOT previews at the right size.
- The Active Tiny Quest tab no longer closes on its own while you browse it with a controller.
- Console: Ally consumables can now be equipped in the Tiny Quest offer window.
- Console: The Tiny Quest option in the navigation menu can be reached with a controller.
- Console: The Claimed tab no longer comes up empty when opening the menu with a controller.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the Sandsea Spirit Revenant costume not using its intended visual effects.
- Fixed Weekly Highest Paragon Level, its class-specific leaderboards, and Heart-a-Phones Sent and Received sometimes failing to grant their rewards.
- Fixed several rare crashes and disconnects.
- Console: Tooltips now appear when browsing Allies and Equipment in Collections.
- Console: Navigation menu button prompts display correctly.
