[+] Bug Fixes

- Fixed people being able to sell Mystery Boxes back to specific stores.. You know who you are.We're aware the Update isn't huge and there were a lot of delays with it.
With the lag issue key in our minds & irl responsibilities taking over, the past 1-2 weeks of Development have been slow.
With Lare taking a few days off (extremely deserved) and myself working an annoying amount & having some family responsibilities.
As well as Arham being the genius wonder child he is being extremely busy with Schooling.. It's been a rough week/two.
The next few weeks should bring much better and juicier updates. And thankfully, the lag issue is fixed.
Thanks for sticking with us, and over the next few weeks, we'll show you why you made the right decision.
Thanks,
Jaedmo

Well you obviously can't go past Scott becoming a true alpha & Dark stiles but.. First season was amazing. 3rd season was amazing with the pack of Alphas. Deucalion was the best villain of the whole show.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but lowering the accuracy and strength of armour, and weapons would in turn make you hit less often and lower? so .. I'm just a bit confused on why mage wouldn't just be buffed to match the corresponding attack styles. I don't have higher tier weapons, and have been playing for around 140 hours. I like the gear I have (pernix for range, torva for melee) but I use chaotics. Please let me know if possible what will it look like for how my gear will play out.
I've been out of town for 2 weeks, so I can only check the forum from time to time.
Thank you
Melee and Mage were far behind Range on Attack bonus and Strength bonus. Range was at about +530 attack for eg, with Magic and Melee being ~400.
We balanced this by bringing Range down, and still bringing Magic and Melee up. This makes it balanced while also nerfing Ranged a bit. It was too easy to afk bosses with t90 Range.
As for your Items, the only thing that would have changed is melee Armour. Most of your items would be untouched and just as good as they previously were.
6 hours ago, Vincent said:Slayer used to be a viable source of income for newer players, before moving on to bossing. With removing the market for chimable slayer drops, and lowering the scale drop drastically, I believe this distorts the line of progression players go through in an unreasonable way.
Hazelmere's Chime shop is not intended to cater to new players. It's for the late-game where people get a lot of high level drops and may not be able to sell them, so instead they sink the item into the shop.
It was never meant to be a moneymaker for new players. That being said, i'm aware that we've taken a moneymaker away from new players and we will be working to add a new method.

Christ, we're really trying to give you guys a good server, one that lasts a long time. The way it was going before this update, Range would be the only viable attack style. We balanced them.
As for the uproar about Decimation.. Well I wanted to keep this as a surprise for next patch.. But apparently people are quitting over an item (maybe that's why it was good to nerf it...).
Decimation was made so it degrades to dust for two reasons:
1. People used it over Noxious Longbow
2. People would make money just to buy one
Now where we go from here which i wanted to keep secret is: Decimation's price is lowered as well as Annihilation & Obliteration. There is an item similar to the Imbued gear added to Hazelmere that you can use on the T87 weapons for an imbued version. With slightly increased stats, this item will never degrade and never disappear.
Why have we done this?
As I said, too many people made money just to buy this weapon. We added Hazelmere to add an Itemsink. Being able to buy the 2nd best range weapon (arguably the best) from a Player and use it forever without giving up one item is not what we wanted. This way, the untradeable attachment that you add to the items to make them non-degradeable requires people who buy the item for Gold to actually work towards getting their Decimation/Annihilation/Obliteration imbued, and what does that require? Them to chime some items.
Everything we do is to improve the future of Ataraxia, myself and the Development team are here for the long haul, we won't stop updating if you keep playing. The economy was going in a bad way, this update will help that and future updates will be tailored to help boost the longevity of Ataraxia.

I myself don't think this update should even be added and i think alot of players feel the same way.
Well I'm sure you and a lot of players use Range only. This means you can use Melee and Mage. You'll get over the small losses of gp.

Ataraxia Updates #17

- T90 armour repairing has been reduced. Sirenic Scales, Tectonic Energy and Malevolent Energy now only repair 5% of the charges, instead of 10%
- All Sirenic scale drops have been removed from Drop tables bar the high level Slayer monsters. They were added as Phippzy thought Sirenic was too rare on the previous version of Ataraxia. However, this lead to an overwhelming amount of Scales. They are now Tertiary only with an odd few on Bosses/Late-game Slayer
- All GWD1, Ganodermic and Misc Slayer items have been removed from the Chime shop sellables. The intention of this shop is to sacrifice your good armour & weapons for the valuables in the shop. It lead to way too many people just camping Gano's for a few days.

- There is also hardmode if you're up for a challenge.
- Similar to Runescape, the Mole will burrow and run away from you, you'll have to navigate her Caves to find her and kill her.
- Giant mole drops various Herblore ingredients and Farming supplies for Ironmen.. As well as this.. awe...some? Pet
- Currently an issue with Deathtouched darting the Mole! Don't waste your darts.
[+] Boss Timers
- Boss Timers have been added
- When you begin a kill on any Boss, the timer will begin, and it will end when you deal the killing blow.
- You'll then receive a printed time for that kill, so jot them down and get comparing to other people!
- In the future, there are plans to add Boss timers as requirements for Completionist etc.
- So get those fast kills ready!
- There has been limited testing done on the Boss timers so please report all potential bugs you find[+] Item Bonuses Overhaul -- Balancing
- Snowie, Nik and I have been working closely in attempt to balance the 3 combat styles.
- Now, it's extremely hard to make these things perfect. But after a few days, and countless hours of me changing numbers.. I think we're getting closer.
- We're not all the way there yet, which is where you come in. Check the changes out on the Live game and tell me your thoughts.
- We want all Combat styles to be relevant, ofcourse some bosses would be better to use Range over Mage or Melee over Range, but overall we want the Combat styles to be relatively interchangeable.
- Sooooooooo... Here's what we did

Well what would you propose to be an alternative? We need to make money, as much as I'd love to keep Ataraxia up permanently with a rising playerbase and not having people depend on perks.. It's not realistic.
We're aware perks are expensive and some of them are pretty much required for some content to be much easier but.. It's that or we sell late game items for menial amounts of $ and ruin the grind that people enjoy..
What would you suggest instead?
