      • Those changes relate to in-game balance changes

June 7th, 2016 (second update)

June 7th, 2016 (first update)

June 6th, 2016

  • We’ve tweaked how bullet penetration works:
    • Bullet penetration is (and has always been) bullet health
    • Before: Bullets would always deal their entire damage, even if they had little health left
    • After: Bullets now deal a proportional amount of damage if they’re about to die while dealing that damage
    • This has some deep changes in how bullet penetration plays out in a few scenarios, so let us know what you think
    • It should make bullets behave more fairly when two players have different penetration values
    • This change actually affects anything that deals damage on touch, be it tanks or drones. It also means that body damage also decreases damage taken
    • Thus we have also adjusted some other values in the game to offset this change
  • New unnamed class which branches off Destroyer

June 5th, 2016

June 2nd, 2016

  • New game mode: Domination

May 31st, 2016

  • We’ve added a minimap
    • While we’re not sure if it’ll stay or not, it’s there so we can get some feedback on it
  • Spawn area in TDM now blocks bullets and enemies from entering it

May 29th, 2016

  • We’ve added support for different game modes
    • For now the only new game mode is “Team DM”, which is basically FFA played with teams
    • This will serve as a basic test for those teams mechanics, but we plan to add more complex game modes in the future (for example, a MOBA-style team game mode)

May 27th, 2016

  • New class: Stalker, branches off Assassin
  • Increased base movement speed and field of view of all tanks

History

  • The game was never officially updated in October 2016, December 2016, January 2017, and April-November 2017. Also, from April 2018 to October 2020, the game was not updated, apart from an unmentioned change during September 2020.
    • The “update” in January 19th 2020 wasn't really considered a game update, as it only promotes the Developer's new game, florr.io. This doesn't have much connection to diep.io apart from similar-looking aesthetics/graphics and the appearance of Squares as usable weapons.
  • The changelog was introduced on May 18th, 2016.
  • In addition to the November 19th update, there was also an update with it. It’s logged as “Players can now assume control of turrets built on top of other tanks in their team by pressing H.” This part of the update was removed shortly after due to the ability to gain control of one’s own Auto Turret via Multi-boxing.
  • In addition to the March 9th update, there was also an update with it. It’s logged as “Stat maximized has been removed (since the above change is better than it)”. This part of the update was removed shortly.
  • The October 31st 2022 update is the first changelog update containing an emoji in its title.
  • The original log of the January 31st 2024 was "Released handful of cheat patches".
    • It also had the incorrect date "January 31st 2023", although the home screen of the game shown the correct one.
