Idle Clans Unveils Massive Update with New Features and Major Overhaul

Article Date: January 28, 2026

Idle Clans, the multiplayer idle game that blends classic MMORPG elements with simplified gameplay, has released a comprehensive update that marks its transition from early access to a fully mature launch. The update introduces a wide range of improvements, from backend infrastructure and UI/UX overhauls to new gameplay features and extensive bug fixes.

Highlights

Massive overhaul of the backend infrastructure - now modular and scalable to handle unlimited players.
Complete UI/UX revamp across the game - the interface feels more responsive, visually appealing, and easier to navigate.
Full transition from early‑access to a more mature release, with plans to move Idle Clans to the full Steam storefront.
Introduction of real‑time Discord notifications for holiday events, clan‑cup results, and other key milestones.
Major expansion of the in‑game data‑display system, giving players richer insight into skills, inventory, combat, and clan activity.

New Features

Server selection menu added at the bottom left of the main menu - automatically selects a recommended server but allows manual switching.
Automated server transfer prompt when joining group content if you’re on a different server, with a seamless 2‑second hand‑off.
Player‑count indicator - see how many Idle Clans players are online at any time.
Clan experience is now broadcast in recorded chunks (every few minutes) instead of real‑time updates.
Invite response now displays the exact number of clan members invited, and notifications appear when an invite is declined.
Daily clan quests can now be contributed with a single click; the required items are added automatically.
Clan tag entry is now correctly populated in the Management tab.
Activity‑score calculations have been adjusted to help low‑level clans achieve higher scores.
Clan page overhaul: PvM stats are permanently displayed, the House is moved to the landing page, the Vault shows more items, and member entries now show active tasks and join dates.
Custom clan‑member sorting - leaders first, then online members, finally offline members sorted by offline time.
Item withdrawal box now notifies users of new items on all servers, always shows a notification on login if unclaimed items exist.
Ironmen and group ironmen can now receive and donate holiday currencies during events; event button hides automatically when supply reaches zero.
Holiday events now trigger Discord announcements for both the wind‑down phase and full end, and the minimum donation amount is now 1 million.
Clan‑cup results are broadcast to Discord; winnings are no longer auto‑credited - they can be claimed via a new ‘Claimable rewards’ button.
New API endpoints provide detailed clan and member performance data, weekly experience, skill‑specific experience, and cross‑clan performance comparison.
Profile page overhaul: skill progress bars, max‑level experience display, orange bars for fully maxed skills, objectives and active‑boosts tiles, clickable current‑activity bar with timer, and renamed “Token unlocks” for shop items.
Consistent item‑hover pop‑up throughout the game, now displaying combat fields (when relevant), item description, inventory count, and both highest buy and lowest sell prices.
Combat page rework: unified skill prefabs, better UI spacing and scaling, unlimited food display, adjusted positioning and animation fixes, compact combat entries, DPS button for each entry (requires killing a boss first).
Valley of Gods UI updates: door graphics with three state variations, color‑coded access text, visible key count, improved damage‑calc pop‑up with market‑value estimates, faster calculations, and deterministic max‑hit display.
Header UI changes: background panel, toned‑down button roundness, new icons, more compact navigation with a collapse/expand icon, and better resolution support.
Cosmetics overhaul - simplified glow effect with an option to revert to legacy shaders via settings.
Player‑profile pop‑up now appears when clicking other players in clan bosses and events; the old info button was removed.
Inventory item‑interaction pop‑up updated to match the hover layout and is now more compact.
Task item costs now use hoverable item prefabs; clicking opens the inventory pop‑up, and amount text is repositioned/hidden behind the unlock panel.
Combat offline‑progress section of the login pop‑up improved; the popup now resizes correctly when many items are displayed.
Clan‑properties pop‑up condensed and all properties shown without scrolling; current property is highlighted.
Daily‑boosts pop‑up made more compact.
Clan‑boss entries and lobbies now feature a DPS button.
Active‑task progress persists through logouts.
Ultra‑rare drops from Reckoning of the Gods are no longer hidden behind a question mark.
Generic UI hover pop‑up now consistently used for all simple information hovers, fixing positioning issues in combat.
Tasks load lazily (only when entering the relevant page) to improve login performance on low‑end devices.
Settings popup general section visually tweaked.
Bulletin board character limit increased from 500 to 1,000.
‘Show us the money’ upgrade description updated to indicate it works on all marked enemies (Sobek, Kronos, Mesines).
Mesines is now included in the clan cup.
Clan‑quest skilling entries use item prefabs for easier resource checking.
Button layout in chat pop‑up adjusted; inventory items spaced slightly more tightly.
Combat particle effects now hide when leaving the combat view.
Food entries in combat are smaller, amounts formatted to KMB, and given a background panel.
Enchantment scrolls now provide more descriptive information; enchanted jewelry descriptions state the boost amount.
Boost‑available notification can be clicked to open the daily‑boosts pop‑up.
Boosts in profile now scroll to display all boosted skills, not just the first five.
Loot‑and‑stats pop‑up now includes a button to view the monster’s drop table during combat.
Safe‑area on mobile devices with a notch prevents UI elements from being hidden beneath it.
Item creation task level requirements now turn red if the requirement isn’t met.
