Trove: New Revenant Class Preview

Posted: 09 Nov 2015 03:04 PM PST

Trion Worlds has recently revealed details regarding the new Revenant class for their voxel-based MMORPG Trove. With this new class, players will be able to sacrifice their HP in order to defeat enemies and defend allies. Along with customization options to give Revenant players a headless look, this new class will be a blast for those that are into ghosts and spirits.

“Rise from the realm of spirits as Trove's newest class: the Revenant! This steel-plated specter sacrifices health to deal damage and defend allies. As a spirit warrior you have the freedom to customize the Revenant for a headless look, while still being able to equip hats and faceplates.

Vengeful Spirits (Passive)
Vengeful Spirits? More like, "vengeful spear-its" am I right? No? Well, let's not get caught up in the minutia. Your basic attack (left mouse button) stabs at enemies with your spear, restoring a small amount of health to the Revenant. As you defeat foes, you steal their souls to empower your Spirit Wraith. When your health has been depleted, you will not go gentle into that good night. Instead, a powerful Spirit Wraith will burst forth, returning 50% of your health, and fighting by your side.

Bulwark Bash (right-click)
A brutal shield slam that damages anyone unfortunate enough to be standing in front of the Revenant, taunting enemies and forcing them to attack you. Cooldown: 7 Seconds.

Spirit Spears (1)
Summon ghostly spears to attack all enemies in front of the Revenant. The damage done is based on your maximum health. Reaching into the spirit world to use these deadly armaments requires a heavy price. The Revenant sacrifices health for as long as the Spirit Spears are cast.

Spirit Storm (2)
A whirling vortex of spirit energy surrounds the Revenant, pulling enemies closer, and firing exploding blasts of spiritual energy. Upon exploding, these spirit blasts will heal friends while damaging foes. Cooldown: 20 Seconds.

The unrepentant Revenant requires penance from pusillanimous pariahs!”

Felspire – Features and Gameplay

Posted: 09 Nov 2015 01:28 PM PST

The game is set in the fantasy world of Eremos, where the mysterious Felspire continues to be a source of contention for the locals and foreigners alike. As some believe it to be a portal from underworld to the land of mankind, there are those waiting for an opportunity to seize it for their licentious deeds. For other humans, Felspire is rumored as a source of infinite power. No-one can seem to agree on its origin or its future use – but there is one thing that can be guaranteed – war.

Features

In Felspire, players will initially be able to choose between three classes. Each class can be advanced four times — resulting in fifteen different specifications in total. When you decide it's time to advance to a new specification you'll be tasked with passing class-specific quests, functioning like proficiency tests. Once you complete those quests your character can transfer to a newer, more specialized role.

The world of Eremos is littered with both danger and opportunity. You can customize your appearance and enhance your abilities by equipping some of the 100,000 different pieces of gear that exist in Eremos. You can equip your character with 20 different tiers of gear – or you can mix and match to give yourself the unique appearance and notoriety you desire.

Felspire leaves you with a bevy of options for setting up and customizing your skills. Each player will have a set of active and passive abilities which can be upgraded with skill points and special tomes that can be acquired throughout the journey. Picking the right skillsets will be crucial to your success in Felspire – as some skills are geared towards PvE and some skills are specialized for PvP gameplay.

Gameplay

It’s every man (or woman!) for themselves in the Felspire PvP arena (Babel). You’ll be free to roam around the arena, collect buffs, and slay rival players at will. Buffs are stackable, so collecting enough buffs will enable you to dispatch other fighters with just a single hit. Other player's kill streaks are visible to everyone, meaning you'll be able to single out or avoid the biggest threats in the arena.

Felspire also comes equipped with a handy auto-questing feature that gives you the option to skip straight to the part of the game that you enjoy the most. This nifty addition can automatically slay monsters, collect loot, and is even able to sell items from your bag when it has reached its capacity. This feature can be turned on or off – leaving it up to you to decide when to take the reins.

No MMORPG would be complete without providing ample opportunities for you to work together with friends and guildies towards a common purpose. Felspire offers a plethora of dungeons and world bosses for you to hone your skills and earn epic loot. In the early phases of the game you'll find that some of these dungeons and bosses can be done solo. As the game progresses, however, you'll need to gather a group of trustworthy companions to take down the more formidable mobs and bosses.
