I can't wait to see how this is dealt with. Making the gameplay a bit more interesting would definitely increase the income of new players, and impress veterans as well. Will it only be upgrading attacks, or is the combat going to be diversified more? Things like combos or added effects (nudge nudge)?
Everything seems exciting. From ability customizing to mixed biomes and underground secrets.
But stellar gear is totally unnecessary . Everybody saying that it will be good is funny of the head. Imagine 3 to 4 times the work you had to get your first set of Radiant Gear. Everything to buy trove chaos chests get an aura in your hat and humiliate newbie players with your strength. Plus the fact that it will be almost impossible to everyone have maxed gear on all classes (like I do).
I'm saying, there's nothing good in stellar gear.
Honestly everything looks AWESOME seriously this game has had me addicted since day 1, two things that really really extremely have me worried though is, 1 gems... 2 Customizing your abilities. More so the customizing your abilities part has me super concerned, why can't the dev's just further develop the classes themselves instead of having people create random abilities probably not even related to the class itself, not to mention the other worrying factor the gems, great another form of currency that's already gonna be near to impossible to get unless you pay for it. Not to mention the fluster cuck that'll be customizable abilities with Trove Flux for sale. But I could be wrong, but I could also be right cause honestly it feels really half assed instead of furthering the classes themselves somehow.
I feel it is half-assed as well, there is no actual balancing happening with this so far, everything is equally getting stronger and all I can see to make it a system with gems is to add more **** to RNG for us to pay for. Seriously, the only way to truly make people happy right now is to REDO the balance of the old classes entirely and fix the bugs/issues with the game since day one. If they won't do either, I can't see myself staying here much longer.
