Fight or Kite: Trove’s September PvP update was a step in the right direction, now it needs a leap

This article analyzes Trove's recent September PvP update, which introduced Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, and Deathmatch modes alongside the existing Bomber Royale. Despite the expansion of options, the author found the implementation lacking, citing issues with a single queue for all modes, difficulty finding matches (especially on Xbox, which appears to lack crossplay), and the controversial decision to allow player character stats and gear to carry over into PvP, creating an uneven playing field. The author concludes that the update was a disappointment and recommends players, particularly on console, avoid PvP until significant improvements are made.
