December

3rd

  • Maximum vaginal depth via Tanuki leaves is now 100, to match the maximum penile distance.
  • Basic Construction Nanomagic and Techno Nanomagic got their powers!
    • The former makes you better at finding salvage and trinkets, the latter improves your ability to find mechanical or electronic salvage.
  • Paternity Test added to the child care section of Zephyr. Allows you to find out who your baby daddy is, without having to bother with daytime television.

November

30th

  • Web battles now work a little better in Opera.
    • It's still recommended you use something else, though.
  • In an effort to make things not suck in IE/Opera, or at least reduce the load those browsers cause on the server, the rounds move a little slower (4 seconds instead of 2 per round).
  • Passive powers that damage you will no longer give spam outside of combat.
  • The primary and secondary colors on the Latex Skunk can now be set individually via local stats.
    • @set me=latex skunk secondary:hot pink would make the white in your desc be replaced with 'hot pink'.
    • The other stat (defaults to black) is @set me=latex skunk primary:whatever.

29th

  • 'Surge of Vengeance' monster template added. Can't keep a good feral down!
  • Diseased will no longer show up on mobs if you are at -1 danger settings.
    • Diseased mobs will also give way more XP than normal.
  • Monsters can now have multiple templates, based upon your danger/pheromone levels.
    • Specifically, off of the average of your danger and pheromone levels.

28th

  • Craftables with a scaling cost (usually consumables, denoted by the ` after their price in +rpinfo) now charge half as much as before.
  • In two days, you will be unable to attach new distills to items. You have been warned.
  • More back-end optimizations! Yay!

27th

  • Whispers should be smarter about handling spaces at the start or end of a line.
  • Level 0-10 instances should now get the proper, weaker version of the Latex Fox.

26th

  • String parsing and loot drops are now much faster, server-wise.

25th

  • When showing the failed patrol puzzle, it will remember that the exploded trap was a trap.
  • Rolling a match for the trap test will now count as a victory.

24th

  • Happy birthday, Balina!
  • A few exploits regarding viewing props have been tightened up. MPI can no longer tell lots of crafty things about those around you.
  • Instanced monsters should stop having so many templates.
  • The research topic for Small Building completed; you can now buy it from the skunks at the library.
  • When powers are auto-fired by the AI at the start of a fight, you get a 25% discount for that use.
  • A network switch has been replaced; hopefully the connection won't be hiccuping so much now.
  • As one might expect, the patrol puzzles have been getting a lot of attention lately:
    • Patrol puzzles now have a minimum grid size of 4x4.
    • All In merit coded. Reduces traps by 25% (to a standard density of 24%, down from 32%), but causes the first trap hit to lose the game (skips Security role roll).
    • search web will no longer bring up puzzles; it'll let you know when it just bypassed one, though.
    • The roll to survive a trap now gives you a much better idea of how close you were to not failing it.
    • There was a minor bug that caused the traps to start far too hard; this has been corrected.
    • Puzzles now track the general win/loss ratio, and increase the value of prizes as people continue to lose.
      • At time of implementation, that meant a +59% bonus to victory.

23rd

  • The pool of players used to determine assistance on web mission battles has been culled to only include people, at most, three levels below you.
  • You know those patrol events where you find stuff? Well, apparently people are trapping the caches of stuff. Hope you're good at Minesweeper!

22nd

  • Pinky Pink color purchased!
  • When starting a web battle, if a power has more than 15,000 cooldown, it will instead start with a random cooldown still left; this will be somewhere between 0 and one half of its full cooldown value.
    • Summon abilities are exempt from this rule.

21st

  • Change to DoTs. Resists on the target are calculated at time of application instead of every single time they tick.

From then on, that item will use 1 token and 1000 freecred per day but will be considered High Quality. If you don't have enough, it will auto-disable. To enable or disable it manually, unequip it and use it while it is in your inventory.
    • Enhanced items will show 'Enhanced' in their gear listing.

17th

15th

  • You cannot target yourself with Commandable Nanites.
  • You can now click on a face in combat and see that player's profile page.

    • There's a big white background available in the accessories, for those who want to stop being invisible while they're gloomy.

11th

  • Random number generator added to String Parsing. Syntax is: [random (lowest) to (highest)].

      • Horrid!

    • Trick or Treat coded and added to both forms for holiday incentivizing.

4th

  • Mystery of Balls is the first research pool to be completed. Turns out they're held together with nanite fishing line. Who would have guessed?
    • This was immediately followed by a new research topic into the magic of fishing line! 'research nano tubes' for details.
  • The research page now lists the top financiers and researchers for a project.
  • VTOL Lady added to the Woodfield Theta Base.
  • Hell Forge discovered in northwest Woodfield. Harbors Mountain Man, Villainous Gnome, and Gargoyle Sentinel infections.
  • M1A1H has calmed down, and instead of just using a Heavy Smash, they can now Careful Aim.
  • The 'quote' command works, though it's barren of good lines at present.
  • Converters now actually *do* grant mastery over a form, assuming the target was a pure-breed.
  • Funnels now work on no funnel forms, provided the funneler has a vial of the infection on hand. The vial, and 7 funnels, are destroyed in the process, and the target is super zapped(more than enough to master the form).
    • Super funnel action only happens on no-funnel forms.

3rd

  • Pet arrival spam can be filtered with the same option (18) in editplayer that is used to filter out players.
  • Craft salvage confirm now shows and purchases only the difference in salvage needed to make.
  • Gift of Story is now properly a defensive adaption.
  • The token market now takes a 3% cut off of all sales, just like the other markets.
  • "Social Favor" added to the research display. Currently unimplemented, but looks like it'll be important later.
  • [Public] Nuku tantalizingly says, "Chance of research progress now ranges from 22% to 49%"
  • There is now a help file for research.

2nd

  • The second greatest thing ever has happened: Pack Leader has been outfitted with powers!
    • Coordinated Work coded and placed exclusively on the arms! Best day ever? I think so.
    • Sick Em and Soft as Fur both coded and placed on the arms and skin respectively, though they might find use elsewhere, too.
  • On the salvage market, the mako market, and the token market, the order lists will combine orders of the same value, giving you a better view of the market.
    • This also now applies to +mako/list.
  • Major New Toy: There is now an extraction machine in the cafeteria of Zephyr that can take your mastered forms and make vials out of them for a small mako fee. Resulting vials are level 0 and can be used by anyone.
    • Extra Credit: If a monster you wrote is extracted this way, you get 20% of the mako as a royalty payment from the game, thanks for helping make the game awesome!
    • If you wish to have a form protected from extracting, please file a +request and it will be done.
  • Two new research topics entered: Mystery of Balls and Decipher Alaska Message!
  • You may now use +gresearch #focus to spend 1 mako to advance your current research project by 1 point.
  • Gift of Story coded and placed exclusively on Namidian's skin.
    • Coincidentally, the shape is now up for sale in the elite store for 10 mako.
  • Expansiveness and Triage are now set to work on your next power, rather than for the whole round. This is primarily to deal with their extreme power outside of combat.

1st

  • Locked powers, such as those on liberated children, now have a * next to the respective number on a player's sheet.
  • Coyote/Devourer shifting of others no longer pretends to be adept shifting.
  • Confirm button added to auto salvage purchase when crafting on web.
