| The following is a list of updates made to the game since it entered open beta in 2011.
| | {{:Automated_Multiplayer_Updates/2025_November}} |
| | | ---- |
| == December ==
| | =Full archive of updates can be found in the [[Multiplayer Updates Archive]]= |
| '''9th'''
| |
| *Repair costs now are calculated for the level of the user in cases where the level of the item is higher than that. This should reduce costs of repairs a lot, especially for people who always max their item level to 50 while being dozens of levels lower.
| |
| '''8th'''
| |
| *Resistance against damage returns was halved.
| |
| *[[Targeted Nativizer]] added to the New Ireland store.
| |
| *New options added to 'morph' command. You can now associate a morph to your current infection. Every game tick updates your morph if it finds a match for your current infection.
| |
| **This can be to a specific mix of parts, not just a pure infection.
| |
| **Shifting in any capacity forces your morph to be checked immediately.
| |
| | |
| '''7th'''
| |
| *Covering 0 damage no longer produces any output in combat, cutting down on cover spam, especially at low levels.
| |
| *Infusing gear with builder and boss vials revamped:
| |
| **You can now fill an item up to 50% of the red band using normal builder vials
| |
| **Boss vials can go all the way to 100%
| |
| *Room exits are now color-coded. Yellow exits are safe, gray are easy monsters, white are normal monsters, and purple monsters will kill you.
| |
| *[[Self-Heating]] and [[Self-Cooling]] modifiers coded.
| |
| *The Ragnarok Beast on top of the Hotel has had its spawn method altered; to summon, go to the room and type 'fight rag'.
| |
| **After a few embarrassing incidents involving three beasts at once, the Beast was nerfed, then less nerfed after he got beaten by a bunch of kids. Twice.
| |
| | |
| '''6th'''
| |
| *Fleeing mechanics changed significantly. Instead of removing all the monsters from your location, it now leaves them there while moving you to a randomly chosen adjoining room with no chance of ambush. Supposedly, party members are able to flee from a battle individually and at any time now.
| |
| | |
| '''5th'''
| |
| * [[Mall Rat (dedication)|Mall Rat]] dedication was added to the main room of the Fairhaven Mall.
| |
| '''4th'''
| |
| * Leveling up past level 30 via the web no longer allows you to skip the boss vial requirement. In progress, you now drink a boss vial before attempting to level instead of consuming it in the scary, scary menu there.
| |
| * [[Pure Breeding]] merit added.
| |
| | |
| '''3rd'''
| |
| *Two new possibilities added to +reward: A free equipment upgrade, and 2 reward tokens.
| |
| *[[Kangaroo (dedication)|Kangaroo God]] dedication massively upgraded. [[Roo Aura]] added as a third power, as well as the Pouch command: turns players into Joeys (permissions apply), giving them both the [[Maternal Love]] and the [[Protective Pouch]] powers.
| |
| * Long-standing bug removed: Powers with secondary effects now activate them even if the primary attack killed the target.
| |
| | |
| '''2nd'''
| |
| * A long-standing bug with passive effects falling off has finally been squashed! You will no longer forget you have Muscle Mass for a few brief moments, etc.
| |
| * A bug of resists capping too hard was fixed. This should result in properly decreased damage for players and monsters, depending on resist and defense.
| |
| * Resist amount is now displayed during combat for each hit.
| |
| *[Public] Nuku softly churrls, "Water penalties suck like the old days." Should be Charge, Recharge and energy drain if you don't measure up.
| |
| * Negative EnergyBreak statuses applied to NPCs now act like Knockdown instead. No change on players.
| |
| * Hot and cold environments added to the game! Heat causes a small energy DOT and negative EnergyBreak. Cold causes a small energy DOT and negative Recharge.
| |
| ** HeatAdaptation and ColdAdaptation statuses added. [[Water Flask]] supplies a small HeatAdaptation. [[Icy Hide]] and [[Fiery Hide]] implemented. [[Furry Hide]] can be upgraded with either. Assorted armor equipment give negative HeatAdaptation.
| |
| ** [[Heat Immune]] and [[Cold Immune]] merits let you ignore the respective environments.
| |
| * Damage toggles [[Slime Toss]], [[Quill Wag]], [[Biting Wit]] and [[Electric Field]] energy cost reduced.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''1st'''
| |
| * [[Treasure Hunter]] profession created
| |
| * Negative statuses no longer increase in magnitude from High Quality or StatusMag modifiers when crafting.
| |
| * Use of the +reward #gift command to give out a +reward to the whole MUD only costs 40 mako for the duration of December!
| |
| | |
| == November == | |
| | |
| '''28th'''
| |
| | |
| *Common salvage rolls made cumulative: when you fail a check, the next one adds that percentage. When you succeed (inevitable, given it will reach 100% over time) the chance returns to its base value. Currently does not affect the uncommon check from instances.
| |
| *Level cap is now '''45'''. Holy crap, you guys!
| |
| | |
| '''27th'''
| |
| | |
| *[[Love Nibble]] coded and added to [[Female Husky]], [[Latex Fox]], and [[Latex Snow Leopard]] heads.
| |
| | |
| '''26th'''
| |
| | |
| *[[Skitter]] and [[Feline Agility]] have had their defense upgrade magnitudes increased. Don't forget to retrain them!
| |
| *+haz now tells you if a creature in that area will spawn or not. Mainly useful for nocturnal or otherwise time-dependent creatures.
| |
| *Players under level 20 should find themselves gaining more creds and xp per fight.
| |
| **More precisely, you will receive rewards as if your level has been averaged with 20. So at level 0, you get rewards as if you were level 10, at level 1 you get them as if you were level 10.5, then 11, then 11.5... and so forth until you actually hit level 20, at which point things proceed normally.
| |
| | |
| '''25th'''
| |
| | |

| |
| *A mysterious Nanite Presence has been discovered in the military base. RSX and Zephyr have sent teams to investigate, and are soliciting donations of freecred to the cause of SCIENCE!

| |
| *[[Poke]] made way more annoying and hard to resist.
| |
| *[[Small Claws]] are now less threatening. Who's afraid of small claws, anyway?
| |
| *[[Snap]] base power improved, and the upgrades mostly downgraded.
| |
| *Roleplayers rejoice! The throttle point for RP XP has been increased from 20% to 60%! You'll now earn much more XP from RPing!

| *Equipment now decays every 24 OOC hours. All Natural, Readiness, and the new Neat Freak perk increase the time between decay ticks.
| |
| **Decayed equipment functions at 1 level lower than its true level per tick, and must be repaired to restore full capability. Repairing costs freecred and common salvage (for player-crafted items).

| |
| *[[Medicinal]] recipe and [[Medicated]] recipe modifiers added to the reward shop.

| |
| *The [[Training Respecializer]] now only consumes one hero point (instead of two) when used in any triage area.
| |

| |
| *Cover should no longer accidentally cover enemies.
| |
| *The [[Single Sexed]] perk now destroys all parts of the opposite gender on mutation. Growing a dick causes your vagina(s) to disappear completely, and vice-versa.

| |
| | |
| '''12th'''
| |
| | |
| *Children and eggs now summon at Minion rank, up from Mook. This does not raise the maximum rank of your minions, so that third point of [[Mastermind]] is much more optional than it was.
| |
| *[[Legends]], [[Arcane]], and [[History]] updated.
| |
| **Legends reduces freecred and vials required to summon Prime mutants, and improves the quality of trinkets found after battle.
| |
| **Arcane improves the quality of trinkets.
| |
| **History improves the quality of trinkets.
| |
| *By the way, you now also find [[Trinket]]s after battle once in a while. They are a freecred bonus, and never actually enter your inventory. An alternative to [[Economics]]!

| |
| *Duration of [[Distracting Lure]]'s healresist effect reduced from its previous value of 100.
| |

| |
| | |
| '''6th'''
| |
| | |
| *[[Training Respecializer]] added to the elite shop.
