Atlas News

As I'm sure most of you are aware, Atlas was released last week. At the start there were a bunch of bugs but our Developers got down to work and managed to squash most of them. Remember to keep reporting them at the issue tracker, here. I've been working close with Funkystudios and the other developers to improve the combat mechanics on the server. Hopefully most of you will see the difference in the hit detection, thank Funkystudios for that. The next few weeks will be all about optimising Atlas, then making scrim servers and then ranked servers :D I encourage all of you to give the developers a massive thank you for their dedication throughout this last week.

Posighdun's Address
Not much to say. The admin team has been hard at work doing various things here and there. Expect a few surprises within the next few weeks. With most of the bugs now squashed we're going to be focusing on making pvp as good as possible, so please bear with us as we test things. Apart from that, one more thing, is that our advertising campaign has kicked off. We're going to be doing all sorts, from Youtubers to ads, to try and advertise this wonderful network. I am very excited for these next few months, lots is planned and lots will happen, so stay tuned on our Social Media for updates, hints and whatnot.

One quick thing, for all those who say Atlas is worse than Avicore, and all that stuff, can we please stop and give our developers and Atlas a chance to prove you wrong? Every update since mczone, Avicus, Omega, Atlas, every single update we get people who say "It's a shit update, lets revert!". Now, expressing your opinion is fine, but please give Atlas a chance. Once we get it to 100% working order, it will be amazing. Already, for me at least, the pvp aspect is so much better and when someone says lets revert, I can't understand why people would prefer blocklag over decent hit detection and better kb :(. What I'm trying to say is, give Atlas a chance, we'll prove you wrong :P


Thank you to the developers for your hard work <3

I already mentioned this above, but words can't describe how thankful I am for them <3 so here we go;

It's not like I suggested about the devs' appreciation.

Sweedie September 5, 2016 at 12:09 PM UTC

I really agree with you and seeing forward to when you've made Everything work!

Thank you developers! You're doing a great job! :D

(and I really can't wait to play Skywars again! ^-^)

Zeus's retirement is not permanent. It's temporary.

Precise_ September 5, 2016 at 3:09 PM UTC

Wait,
Iron got promoted to mod... Then retired?
Best mod of the year

JJTheGuy September 5, 2016 at 3:09 PM UTC

When it said "Posighdun's Adress", I was expecting something better...

I don't see an issue here. In case you haven't noticed, most staff members do in fact retire. What's the issue? :P

>Minotaur, GhostSquadron, Skywars and more are now back in action.

For clarification, not true. Minotaur is not up. Sky Wars is not up. I know because I worked on the projects, and they're not even back in action, they're in early alpha. The only gamemodes that are up are Ghost Squadron, Parkour, and Carpet Bombers. If you ask the person who is making these gamemodes or check the arcade rotation, it'd be more accurate.

I don't want to mislead anyone, because it'll fall back on me & the map developers.

EDIT: A thank you to the map developers who converted 100+ maps and made 3 gamemodes would be nice also.
EDIT: Thank you Acceqted for fixing the arcade part.

How exactly has the advertising campaign kicked off?
"From Youtubers to ads" What does that mean?

YouTubers means we are searching for YouTubers who would promote our server through their videos. We are testing other means of promotion through website and video advertisements right now. We are open to the community's ideas for server growth, but most of what we'll be doing will be kept internally between admins and/or senior staff.

Well, you must have had fun with the 3 players. Joining is broken for Minotaur because of the balancing, and cannot be played.

Ah, we had 9 players and it was working perfectly when we tried it...
