Trove is a new game being created by Trion worlds, who also created Rift and Defiance. It is currently in Alpha and has NO active NDA.

" Our vision with Trove was simple: create a game that generates exciting new worlds on a regular basis, has free-form exploration that makes going through a mountain as rewarding as going over it, and enables community contributions to significantly impact the game. Then we took that core, made it persistent and accessible, and added in some of our favorite action RPG elements: you can adventure through unlimited dungeon variations, discover an endlessly increasing supply of loot, and harvest resources to craft a variety of useful and powerful items. Finally, we added the ability to create your very own trans-dimensional home. This base persists across worlds and servers, is completely customizable, and will grow and travel with you throughout your adventures. The result? You’ll own a part of Trove no matter where we go or how the game evolves"

Thanks for spreading the love. It's been awesome watching people explore and build cool stuff over the past week.

Well it looks to me what cubeworld should've been, not a great light over it (due to the similarities between games) i hope it does well

No problem Elizabeth! I think if you contact a moderator they can give you the forum title Trion CM like Elrar used to have.

Similar art style and same genre, but its not Cube world.

The question yet is:
How will tirion worlds separate from the already stacked "-craft" style gameplay we've seen in the later years? we already have cubeworld doing exactly the same and is already running, this is kinda worrying to me as the name of the company (for me, IMOIMOIMO) would be in stake due to the "genre stacking" and the similarities with cube world

Still, given nothing has been done with Cube World for a long time, you wonder if this game is what a Cube World game could be.

Wait, is this game more world building like Minecraft, or more character building like Cube World? The video left it pretty ambiguous, and I never really cared for Minecraft.

From what we have seen so far it looks like its doing a bit of everything, I believe it will have core features you generally find in an mmo too, it has classes and dungeons etc..

Another game trion to murder. Fix defiance!

Same for me. Outside rift can't say that Trion has done anything that amazed me (and even rift... still playing wow myself is all that need to be said).

[Sharuko]

What type of lame bait thread is this? Just advertising, masked as free keys. Now I like Trion as a company, but this is a product from them I will not support.

[Arbs]

Im confused, is this the new name for Cubeworld? Or did they sell out to Trion.

Basically Trion way of ripping off a Indie Dev & trying to get into another genre (They should of just stuck with Rift & not branch out into other genres), Scott Hartsmen said it himself he loved CubeWorld. I'm not a big fan of the Minecraft / CubeWorld genre (Don't know the official word for it). Prbly wont be playing it anyway.

They've given every indication they begrudgingly tolerate defiance. Its gotten so bad that the above Dahanese, Director of Global Community who posted above (DoGC for short) popped an attitude against one of the more respected players (Arsenic Touch) who was very critical of how the 11 days off to be released DLC was horrible on the PTR. http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...43#post1333343

So dont get your hopes up for any meaningful improvements for Defiance. All indications are there are more dedicated devs working on Trove(11) than Defiance.

That said, I wouldnt trust Trove beyond just being an micro transactions marketing tool. And I certainly wouldn't trust much from Trion reps on things anymore.

Erm, how is that an attitude? She's absolutely right, it's a test server, not release. She's stating a fact when people flip out about something on a test server.

Yeah, it's kinda been stagnant since launch. The huge cuts to the staff haven't helped and it would need a huge infusion of cash for them to beef up the team and give it a second go. At this point I don't see them doing anything more than keeping it in maintenance mode and kinda releasing DLC's every now and then that are pretty limited in scope. Still a big disappointment for me, because the gunplay in the game is fantastic and they have some truly awesome boss encounters.

Context is important to this because he was/is extensively testing and reporting issues that are rather numerous(that was just one thread set in the general discussion section, there are scores he's reporting in the testing forum subsection as well). For a DLC that is supposed to launch in 10-11 days the consensus is that it shouldnt be in such a poor state of affairs.

The function of the test server being turned on 2 days ago is to test the DLC; and that's extremely hard to do when the First day many of the DLC features were forgotten to be activated on the test server(defeating the purpose to turn on the test server to begin with). As well with an extremely small number of folks testing it was disconnecting and crashing frequently etc etc etc. All of which was pointed out and just rather surprising for, again, a DLC that they are expecting to push out by Dec 10th.

Given his and others experiences with the August testing for the first DLC being for the most part a player placation tool(as much went live that was discovered wrong with the DLC... some of which wasn't addressed until 2 weeks ago either mind you), and the virtually same pattern during Alpha and beta testing prior to the game's launch, it is/was pretty dismal how they continue to not learn from their previous mistakes.

So he was testing, much wasnt/isnt working; and he was rightfully complaining about the state of it. Then she comes along and states "Arsenic, with all due respect: It's a test server. We're testing."

Thus her statement comes across rather disconnected, flippant, and contradictory towards the remaining community members such as Arsenic who are trying to do their part to improve what she seemingly has little regard for(she's got a long history of this over the last 8 months which adds another layer to the context). All in all it certainly doesn't come across as appropriate for the primary liaison between the player community and Trion, especially when she's the director of global communications.

You guys that Cube world doesn't have a patent on voxels right? That Cube world looks like Minecraft. That there are dozens of other voxel games besides Minecraft and Cube world and that there is plenty of room for improvement in the voxel subgenre. Also that Cube world is pretty dead. I have no problems with Trion making a voxel game, even if it was Cube world that's well funded because someone can make the dream a reality. Did you know that Portal started a similar way, Valve didn't come up with the original idea

Stop turning your noses up at innovation

So defiance is that bad huh? My buddy gifted it to me, but I have terrible download speed so I haven't bothered to do it yet... Sounds like I saved myself some disappointment.

Today I was reminded of how its worse on there really. A guy made a thread(and I've seen more than one in the past similar) speaking to their having spent 100 bucks on lock boxes trying to get a legendary weapon.... and didnt get one. A few others chimed in as well on the 100 bucks spent thread about how they'd bought boosts(to exp, gear chance drops, scrip(money) etc).

Weapon changes rendered what they'd gotten previously moot. I've seen other threads where people bought the boosts (which go off -real- time and not /played time in game) only to have crashes of server down time plus sleep etc render the boosts wasted. CS wouldnt refund either.

Its all virtually pure gambling but that is the exact same sort of thing but worse that I expect of Trove since they've already emphasized the strong micro transaction store aspect to the game(because that's where they expect to generate their primary revenue.).

[Edge-]

That's what lockboxes have always been. Like, it's pretty obvious that you're gambling on the chance something. So you could get it in a single pack, or it could take hundreds. These are pretty standard in just about every MMO cash shop around nowadays.
