[+] Revision 926

- Revision 926 is here.. This means we are up to date with Runescape 3.
- We have access to almost all content that is currently on Runescape 3
- It will obviously take some time to add all of this content, but here is the existing content that 926 has changed/edited:

[+] Treasure Hunter 

- Treasure Hunter has had some exciting changes from 916 to 926
- Unfortunately, multiple choice selection is.. gone
- There's a slightly different interface, with the option to pick "Single" or "Multi" which will use 10 as the same as before.

- A big difference with the new Treasure Hunter is the amount of promotions! There's so many new promotions that have been added since 916!
- Here's a few examples:

- And of course.. the classics:

- As well as a convenient way for Admins to change the Treasure Hunter rotation!
- Not all of these rotations are currently coded, so stay tuned!

 

[+] Daily Challenges

- The Daily challenge interface has changed as well as some of the core mechanics
- Now, per day, each player will receive 3 Challenges:

- The cost to reroll and extend has been decreased from 25/50 to 10/25 which is a huge reduction
- As you may see, there's a new Weekly progress bar, this will progress with tasks done, but right now, this feature is not added

 

[+] Mobile Interface

- With 926 brings a new and improved Mobile UI and improved interaction
- You can now purchase Auras properly (which was hotly requested previously)
- But overall, the new UI is really clean and looks great (I don't have an android, this is local):

[+] Fairy Rings

- Not too much here, just a nicer/updated interface:

[+] Cosmetic Overrides

- One thing that may have gone rather unnoticed with the revision update is the sheer amount of outfits added between 916-926
- There'll be so many more outfits to use and customise your character with!
- Here's a few cool ones I found (staff told me about):

Replica Dragon scimitars:

Shadow Gorilla Outfit

20th Anniversary Outfit

Dragonkin Imperial Outfit

- Have a browse, I'm sure you'll find something you like!

 

[+] Potential Content

- 926 brings an overwhelming amount of possible content for us to add
- In the near future, we will begin pumping this content out, both Armar and I look forward to it I'm sure.
- However, please bear in mind that this will take some time, and yes, eventually we will get to it all :P
- Anyway, here's a few things you have to look forward to:

[+] TzKal-Zuk

 

[+] Arch-Glacor

[+] Kerapac, the bound

[+] Zamorak, Lord of Chaos

- As well as the following small content pieces:

- It's hard to remember more on the spot, but like.. Since 916 there's been almost 100 updates on rs3 (not all content updates)

 

You may be thinking.. He's left out Matriarchs wtf.. Nah. We added em.

 

[+] Rex Matriarchs

- We wanted this to be somewhat of a surprise to everyone, we only told the Staff about it and they were responsible for testing them, so any issues it's their fault
- Rex Matriarchs are an awesome piece of content and I'm thrilled that Armar managed to get them ready for the 926 release!
- Rex Matriarchs are here! You can get to them two different ways:

or

- These bosses are quite challenging, however, you can easily fight only one at a time, similarly to the Dagannoth Kings
- They have some pretty cool mechanics, but careful, they're pretty deadly.
- Hopeful whipped up a guide ready for this release and allowed me to upload it on the Ataraxia channel:

 

- The Matriarchs drop some pretty cool rewards!
- All 3 of them have a shared table for the following rewards: 

- The Savage spear pieces can be combined by talking to the Slayer master Laniakea, creating a spear is an Elite Achievement and required for Completionist cape

Quickly want to address something that happened in October which effected some of the progress over the last month. On the 16th of October, Ataraxia was leaked to an RSPS forum, this copy was as recent as the 10th of October. After a while of racking our brains on how this occurred, we figured out how it happened, from there, it was damage control. We fortunately came to an agreement with the site owner to take it down, at this time, it had been up for approximately 4 days.

Overall, this fucking sucked to see. As some of you know, this is my full time job. Lately I have been putting a lot of work into Ataraxia and to see people get it for practically nothing, destroys me. Not to mention the amount of progress ArmarXK1ng is making in the high revision community only to have his game-changing content and developments leaked into the sea of rats.

With all of this being said, we are Ataraxia. The high revision servers are all playing for 2nd in comparison.

We are making progress and moves that no one else can or will.

We have possibly the only person capable of developing content as close to RS3 as he has been.

We're not going anywhere, we're going to continue growing, we're not going to let this brief hurdle besmirch the hard work myself, ArmarXK1ng, Xenthium and the rest of the Staff team have been putting in to make Ataraxia what it is today.

 

Since this occurrence, we have greatly improved our security measures and going forward this will not happen again.
