Applications News

Rumors say that applications are opening soon, I can confirm this. More information will be given out on applications within the next week.

Atlas Updates

Our developers continue on working hard to push this update out. The administration, and development teams are still organizing testing sessions for the update.  Atlas is almost here!

Department Removal
The senior staff team will be reverting back to using a task / assignment system, and will be scraping departments. After a recent meeting, we have decided that this method is better to use during these circumstances. 

Overcast Closure

Unfortunately our fellow Minecraft server, The Overcast Network, will be closing. As this time slowly approaches, we will warmly welcome all members who wish to continue with a similar style of Minecraft. 

Avicus Community Slack

The Administrator team is still encouraging you all to join community slack, just remember to contact an admin to be added to it!

Sad to see departments go, but from past experiences the assignment system works well too. 

Thanks for the update. :)

It would be cool to have a section with all maps added each week, with a link to their forum post.

So wait... does that mean that mapdev departments are also gone as well?

If so, best decision ever... now all that needs to be done is to get rid of the "Head mapdev" rank. It makes little sense to me tbh :P

MapDev departments aren't gone

Zintenka July 31, 2016 at 8:07 PM UTC

MapDev departments aren't gone
Aw...

I always thought that MapDevs should team up and do everything together, it makes everything faster.

Like I compare the mapdev responses from years ago to now... mapdevs responded to maps faster before than they did now providing feedback to maps and whatnot.

Eh, but that's just me.

I also don't really favor the "Head mapdev" system because I always felt that the mapdev team was better as a "council" of sorts than a team under a few guys with slightly higher powers.

I mean they have all those permissions but they need to report to a central dude to make sure that it's okay. I can understand the circumstance of this but even for the things that are little and won't really effect anyone all that much... you still have to report to a central dude and whatnot.

Pelpelajax July 31, 2016 at 8:07 PM UTC

Never been a fan of departments, nice to see them gone :)

LFT July 31, 2016 at 8:07 PM UTC

He returned from retirement where he was Manager and TS Dev.

Zintenka July 31, 2016 at 10:07 PM UTC

But others would have to re-rank up their original positions - all the way from Junior.

It was... Peachy that instituted this rule, why is it being broken by staff members themselves?

Whats the point of making it HTML? It's been told many times before... HTML makes it harder for phone/tablet users.

For a server that thrives on bright, vibrant colors for ranks, images, maps, & minecraft heads, I don't really see a problem with it.
