If you are here after watching Josh Strife Hayes' video, this review should give a brief idea of the history and current state of the game. First of all, if you are looking for a heavily story-based game such as FF14, WOW, Dragonborn, etc., this is not what you will be expecting. At its core, Trove is a light-hearted game that's based on character power leveling. Every system and mechanics contribute to your character getting stronger, and the gaming style is, putting it in a bad way: "Endless Grind." However (Here is a beauty of Trove), unlike running dungeons and raids like "WOW," farming anything in this game is really easy and non-hardcore. You don't need to know any fights beforehand, there are no required classes until you hit the end game, and overall, you can yaba daba do anything with ZERO stress. Trove also relies heavily on playing with people/friends. Because the gaming style itself is really hollow, the game is more like a social platform to play with random people and friends, especially your in-game Club members. Benefiting from its super openworldness, you can "Team up" with anyone you want in maps (The game even offers you a teleportation stone that can teleport you to a random player in the world) The most important and attention-grabbing of this game is that it is primarily a tool for you to hang out with other people, almost like a party. Ok, let's talk about some hostries and some of the current problems with the game. You probably have seen a lot of reviews and comments that this game was so awesome back in 2015 to 2017. This is because of three factors. First is the end game power cap and balance. Unlike games that reset your power levels, Trove constantly updates its end-game cap. (If you upgrade everything to the maximum, collect every collectible, and complete every in-game achievement, you will hit a power level cap.) One of the biggest reasons the game was enjoyable back in 2016 is because there are fewer near-end-game players. I know you probably wonder why this is a bad thing. The bad thing about this is that there is no power level balancing in dungeons and raids, therefore people with higher power rankings can just one shot and carry the rest of the players. The game was good back then is because you can't just find a random end game player in the open world therefore you must find people to work together to fight dungeons and bosses. The process of it is very enjoyable and fun (Because there is almost no punishment if you constantly die) Nowadays, you just queue up with a group and sit to wait for your Club members to carry you, which is exactly what Josh experienced in the public Delve. Plus, you can trade mid-end-game items with other players, and they are effortless to farm. I will give you a picture of what it is like. In order to enter the higher world, you must hit the required power levels, like 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2500, 5000, etc. You must fight dungeons and upgrade your gears. min-maxing stats and watching your character grow and entering higher zones are SUPER FUN. But now, you get a set of gear from other people like your club members that just get you to 5000+ power levels in 1 second, and you just skip the entire first part of the game, diving straight in the grind. The second is the so-called pay-to-win system and in-game shop. One of the biggest reasons people say there are way more things you have to pay for now is that most of the stuff you buy are collectibles, which increases your secondary stat: "Mastery." Mastery does not really affect your character power level therefore it is easier to make and it won't affect the players as much. Because tweaking power levels is a very frustrating thing to do and can cause a major disaster for the end-game players. However, there are still many things you can buy in shops that can help boost your character's power levels, so it is essentially a pay-to-win game. The third is the content update. For the past few months, the devs are a lot better at updating and reworking classes and content. But still, because there isn't much content, the end-game players have figured everything out and are just feeding the information to the new players thus there is no process of learning the systems and mechanics of the game. That's about it, in general, if you have always been a solo player or story game based player, then Trove is probably not the game for you, but if you have friends or looking to meet new people, just have fun and feel good to kill and level up, then Trove is a great game that you can enjoy for a long, long time.
I only played for 2.5 hours and all I have to say is: It's a good and fun MMORPG game for kids to play. Mostly age of 8-18. So if you're older than that, there's a pretty high chance that you won't enjoy it and I would suggest that you look for something else. But if you like cartoony things and stuff or are in that age range then this might be fun for you to play. Best played with friends because you have to spend a lot of time behind the game to farm and doing it alone will really bore you and make you feel lonely. So try to play with at least one friend beside you.
Cool game, really fun to play specially with friend but as always with true things has their bad side, trove is unoptimized which makes players go away from. Next thing is the grind factor which many player doesn't like but as free to play player, you need to grind for hours to get rewards but thats another feeling. Anyways i do recommend this game if you are looking to make some friends , do some building ah talking about building, you can make flawless builds like freaking castle or beautiful club. Welcome to Trove also at first this game may seems hard but its not but theres a lot of maths involve if u are getting serious about specially about trading. :)
It's about time i reviewed this game It was fun for me to grind hours on end to get practically no where. The farming is not rewarding. The entire game is dependant on RNG and chance. Community is half toxic. Classes were acually pretty great. New players are going to have a hard time starting out due to characters now costing money. Much of it is if you pay you can do MUCH better than others. But then again its not worth paying for this game anyways most the time. I did have some great times in this game but it died off from lack of content and purpose. It did however keep me company for a long time, and i did have fun it it while it lasted.
I'm filled with nostalgia when I go back to my very first Trove club, to still see it remain standing strong. Even though it is virtually dead, atleast I can see where we first plotted our spawn point, the musical roads, a good quantity of mazes produced throughout the club's life time and numerous buildings that were once endevours. So many friends I stumbled upon during my activeness in the game. I love building with my Trove buddies more than that actual mining, leveling up, and slaining bosses. Happiness filled my soul because of this marvelous game.
