Recent Updates

Beta 0.22.5 - Tech Debt? What's That?

April 30, 2025	Beta 0.22.5	ExpandTech Debt? What's That?
Changes to the Login System requires you to login again, this is normal This Update is mostly technical stuff. Game Changes Remove market warning for renaming unnamed items Added the Wiki Madness 2 reward icons Technical Changes Completely overhauled the login/authentication system to be more consistent. This will allow much better support for logging in across multiple devices and sources, i.e. different web browsers, mobile devices, Steam, apps, etc. Cleaned up thousands of lines of really old, messy code. Updated our email system, hopefully improving the lost email problems. Added a lot more optimizations to various interactions, potentially increasing server performance by a good amount. This should be most noticeable during times of high load, i.e. catch-up or Madness. Lots of misc. package clean up. There will almost certainly be bugs, please make sure to report them! I am tired of technical stuff and I will focus on gameplay changes for a bit.

Beta 0.22.4 - Oops, all WIP

April 19, 2025	Beta 0.22.4	ExpandOops, all WIP
This is mostly just to reboot the server, but I may as well push out a few of the minor changes we've made so far. This update's changes New Glass Ranger asset Elite Scrolls increase mob counts per wave when difficulty is increased high enough (check tooltips) Can only set referral codes within a week of account creation Mantis Shrimp equipment now also requires mystical driftwood More Details on WIP Stuff Currently entirely rewriting the login system entirely to make it more robust and better at handling multi-platforms. This is primarily a technical task, but it should also improve the logging in experience immensely for people who play on multiple devices (i.e. mobile, steam, etc.) Lots of improvements to Skilling/Production that should smooth out pain-points and make gameplay more consistent and enjoyable. Includes several reworks as well as more content! So many technical updates. Just an absolute mess of them. Each one takes about a week just to get started, a week to fix obvious issues, and then a week of fixing edge cases, and that's just the optimal timeline. "Combat 3.0"; taking a huge look at the current state of combat and all the features that have been slowly added and reconsidering everything. This is very early (still design notes phase), but the basic goals are to make every combat style feel AND sub-style unique and viable (even in non-optimal zones) as well as ensuring all the recent combat mechanics and features are available throughout the progression instead of only properly existing in the content it was introduced with.

Beta 0.22.3 - busy bees

April 2, 2025	Beta 0.22.3	Expandbusy bees
0.22.3a Fix inventory search bar not working Improve the filter panel a bit Raised the hard cap max level from 255 to 1024 im so tired there's a lot of WIP stuff that's still not ready to launch yet that's been taking up a lot of our time, hopefully ready by next week (or at least in a state where we can start getting feedback on it / testing) Fixes Fix monster paths Fix new monster enchantment handling not applying to mercs properly Fix some name change stuff Exclude some quests from the available quests notification Fix missing quest completed popup balance bestial shawl agility betterer ice spells have generally longer cooldowns ancient ice age bonus halved melter smelter / original superheat correctly consume the ore that made the bar instead of just giving a free bar shrimp gear crafting and augmenting reqs adjusted to fit the hybrid nature more UI stuff options to hide group chat, activity logs, or all of chat entirely moved the inventory filter out of the cog panel by default, you can swap the behavior back to only being in the cog panel in chat settings improvements to chat and inventory rendering to improve performance a bit when under high load situations (big madness) fix dark vault hiscore icon using the wrong key image

Beta 0.22.2 - Mostly Fixes

March 27, 2025	Beta 0.22.2	ExpandMostly Fixes
0.22.2a Rework how monsters consume buffs to match the behavior of players (consume at end of action loop instead of immediately); this fixes some inconsistent behavior when monsters use AOEs Made the season warnings larger Coming Soon^TM Reworks to how you obtain skilling dungeons Lots of misc. technical improvements and clean up Steam client playtest Fixes Fix some missing images and paths for monsters Enhanced Stun debuff from 99% accuracy cap to 99.99% so it "skips" the attack of raid bosses more consistently Fix agility cap in UI Fixed saving invalid loadout Fix Fishing Mastery II description Extended the Pre-Launch ending again^again^again UI Remove equip button for cosmetics Notification when you're below the global flood limit now says what level you need to begin chatting Show personal donation per shrine tier Formatting some enchanting xp Balance Elites in the Lava Maze quest count for more progress than normals EKLB higher up front crystal scale crafting cost, but removed entirely from augmenting/researching with void ammo cost going up slightly Lance now uses 1 mith/iron/styg instead of just 5 styg, also uses less obby glass (10 -> 2)

Beta 0.22.1 - Magic Magic

March 20, 2025	Beta 0.22.1	ExpandMagic Magic
UI Some cooking text should shift around less Highlight currently active node in tooltip Share button in quest completion popup Fixed a couple enchantment icons Format expected damage in ability tooltips Format hit multipliers Format quest XP Format item turn in amount Live updated fishing chances in UI Fix item rename dialog Balance Chaos Rends now have slashing affinities Chaos Crest is rarer from demons, but now added to Smithing dungeon tables Fixes Fix some inadvertant drops that are kinda spoopy Deep Pit now counts for mining set quest Clothweaving counts for Runecrafting set quest again AI Placeholder Stuff I replaced a lot of the more egregious placeholder assets for monsters with slightly less unsightly/memey images from one of the newer models that came out recently. These are still placeholders. Since IS isn't some AAA company or has a ton of funding everyone from devs to artists kind of do things as they have the time, and art can take a long time to do. We intend to replace the assets with properly handdrawn pieces when possible, but in the meantime the generated images help communicate what we had in mind for the actual appearance of the monsters.

Beta 0.22.0 - Magic Catastrophe Rerun

March 12, 2025	Beta 0.22.0	ExpandMagic Catastrophe Rerun
0.22.0b Fix some madness messages in general Add some sanity caps to some enchantments Enchantment Procs setting set to false by default on madness leagues Toned down a few madness specifics (it's still chaos spam, I just reverted some of the early boosts) 0.22.0a (and previous bug fixes) Researcher of the Past disabled (it was not meant to be accessible and gave a key on every action lol) Fixed double using tokens Fix some more edge case group issues Elite Scrolls / Dungeon Keys do not announce and do not count towards +25 quests/achievements Fix being able to gift bonds to people who are already subbed Disabled a handful of monster-only buffs from madness since they have no effect on players (and if they did they would make players beyond absurdly OP) Fix DOT Dealer UI display Technical improvements for combat defender/attacker stuff Fix Easily Enraged not working as intended Technical improvements to health refilling Optimized and consolidated notifications Fix madness messages going into General Madness decreases slower Maxing a skill gives 2 hours of a buff (up from 1) We will manually add a bunch of buffs after this update goes live Magic Catastrophe Rerun now has access to gem packages and sealed scrolls like normal IM league Magic Catastrophe Rerun We will be running the much beloved Magic Catastrophe season again! As a refresher, the Magic Catastrophe season focuses on granting a ton of random buffs from the Shrine. Additional buffs can be gained by completing various milestones, such as completing a Master level quest/achievement or getting the max level in a skill. This season snowballs HARD and the buffs it can give can reach incredibly absurd levels; it will not be uncommon to log in and see a random skill has >10k effective level or one of the combat styles has become effectively immortal for a few hours. The rerun will be Ironman only, sorry market moguls! Also, it will use the new XP scaling formula in use in the Pre-Season season (which will continue to run in parallel with the new season). Bonds Bonds are being introduced in this update! Bonds are a way to gift a month of IS+ and the standard monthly plat to another community member, similarly to something like a Twitch Subscription. To celebrate our most charitable members, sub gifts are announced in the chat (though you can choose to gift anonymously)! Gifter get a fancy new icon to show their charitable spirit with a few different tiers, mirroring the icons given from donating or getting referral tiers. Please don't use this for Real World Trading, that's against the rules and we can see it :) Fixes Fix Illegal Gun Parts image Fix hunter gatherer node UI Correct crit damage in tooltips Fix dupe status text + other status text issues IS+ Shrine notification dot + setting Fix referral plat sometimes not being added Fix Wand of the Phoenix having the wrong critical type Fix combat hiscores not using the latest username for a character Fix RC guide talisman blurb Fix Overgrowth applying to Totems Fix market button for items without a vendor value Fix group related crashes Balance Nerfed Hunter Gatherer frequency boost so it's not Old Superheat, Foraging edition Affinity clash is now additive rather than multiplicative, i.e. 2 vs 0.7 = 2.3 instead of ~2.86. This improves the smaller differences (1.4 vs. 1.2 = 1.2 instead of 1.17) but keeps large ones from maxing out quickly Raised global max difficulty in zones from 30 to 50 Raised cap for keys/dungeons to +40 from +20 Weaker fire spells now use Lesser Overheating instead of Overheating Reduced Boar and Wolf melee defensives from 1.4 to 1.2 Significantly reduced dodge chances for non-elite elves Elves are now slightly weak to piercing and slashing damage Cannon base attack speed changed from 3.4 to 4.4 since range has several options to increase attack speed Bag of Holding proc chance per strength lowered from 33% to 15% (this means a max bag of holding is no longer a guaranteed proc, but a 45% Deep Pit encounter now has a unique demon with bonus mining related drops Increased chance to generate prismatic extract in cooking by ~10% New Stuff DOT Dealer enchant, increases DOT damage multiplicatively up to a cap Easily Enraged talents, gives a chance to enrage when struck and damaged New UI for determining a zone's intended style and level range at a glance
