Avicus Archive

What do YOU want to see in the Winter Update? by SnowSX3 December 27, 2014 at 8:12 AM UTC

So it's the Winter Update season, a time where the staff have dedicated a lot of their time to give Avicus a face-lift in the form of new features that will ultimately improve Avicus as a whole.

I'm interested in what you guys would like or what you think is going to be released in the next bit here.

Personally, I'd like a /tell system.
I know we have one already but it seems faulty and for me personally, hasn't worked in a while.

Also, I'd like /staff to be a thing.
I'd like to see how many staff are online currently. 


List of ideas/suggestions:
(All done by hand, no copying and pasting here <3)
(I'll update the list once every 24 hours or so)
There may be a few repeated or similar ideas in the list.
Sorry about that, it'll just be too time consuming to sort through and double check everything.

-New Kits for Nexus.
-New Gamemode.
-Open Staff Applications.
-Lobby perks.
-Prestige prizes
-New rank.
-Survival Games.
-New hub.
-New website.
-New rank names.
-New Nebula shop.
-More Devs.
-Avicade revamp.
-An appeal system that lessens the pressure for the Sr.Mods.
-A notification system that alerts you when someone replied to you, commented on your topic etc.
-/msg system to people who aren't your friends.
-Fast hit glitch fixed.
-Revival of Ghost Squadron, Hunger Games and Survival Games.
-Skywars.
-Capture The Wool (CTW).
- /party feature
- /go         (I'm guessing for all players and not just staff?)
- New items in the in-game shop.
- A European server.
- Staff can /msg everyone
- Parkour in Avicade and in the hub.
-More kit tweaks.
-Friend button/search bar.
- /staff (to see how many staff are online)
-Occasional UHC
- /toggle xpboost
- 1 Nexus kit for Gold donors.
- New kits for CTH and Nexus
- New Developer.
-Prizes for prestige (i.e. xp boost for 24 hours)
-Nebula kits.
-Factions server.
-Advertising.
-More Community events.
- New Gamemode.
-Smaller lobby.
-More things to do in the lobby.
-Revamp Avicade.
-New ranks.
-Hunger games.
- /l  or /lookup (For Staff to look up a player's infraction history before punishing, this will make it easier for Staff to give out the appropriate punishment.)
- More XP after breaknig a monument.
-A marked AFK section in the lobby.
- A system where you can leave notes on someone's profile page.
-Gamemode rotations for Nebula.
- A stat where it shows the map you've spent the most time on.

1. Take a look at the Nexus idea topic
2. Introduce a new gamemode
3. Open staff apps for players (not naming) that have been helping a lot and are very well known cross-servers
4. Maybe some new lobby perks
5. Prestige prizes
6. Another rank maybe, Platinum...
7. Keep the server running

ViceTechnicolour December 27, 2014 at 8:12 AM UTC

Considering the potential developers are being contacted and interviewed, I've love to see a few extra helping hands for Avicus that can work on the server to move it forward and put it in 2nd gear. Some of the devs I'm aware of are really intelligent and are what Avicus needs: Especially for updates. Developers being announced with the update would be nice.

Other than that, I'd like to see less focus on Nebula and more focus on other gamemodes. While Nebula is our signature gamemode, I don't want it to get milked. It's fine right now, but as we expand we need to focus on other gamemodes as well.

HG is (mostly) like Elimination.

SG is confirmed though.

Xp boost for 24 hours? On top of diamond? Oh god no.

BourbonBonobo December 27, 2014 at 6:12 PM UTC

1. A new hub; I noticed that I'm always lagging out when I log onto avicus. Maybe it's because of the large hub??
2. Sky wars: I love this mini game! Also it can train new players for the next step up: Nebula!!
3. Cooler names for donators, such as, warrior for gold, knight for emerald... 
4. What if there were nebula kits! I think I had a thread about this before, but we could have the archer kit, rusher kit, or the warrior kit!
5. A factions server?? why not??
6. This is a bit off topic: Add a friend button on the website again :)

That's pretty much it!

IcyCode December 27, 2014 at 6:12 PM UTC

Ok here we go I don't post a lot here anymore :P
  1. Get some actual Dev's (Means more updates can actually happen)
  2. Improve other gamemodes. (By this I especially want Avicade to be re-vamped I personally love playing alot of different gamemodes but nobody else ever wants to play them!)
  3. Advertise (Pay for a little advertising and definitely redo the Avicus banner, post Avicus on some more sites to get it up the "Pecking Order" a bit more :P
  4. A new gamemode (Bring back Survival games and/or Sky Wars) loads of new and old players will come :D
  5. Community events (Remember the Anniversary update and the turnout it got, more of them please!!!)
  6. Stay positive (Avicus really is an epic server and the staff must really remember how good our server is and the accomplishments we have a achieved we may have had a rocky road but with a few tweaks we can get Avicus back to how it was in those good old McZone days :D 

San_David December 27, 2014 at 9:12 PM UTC

There are some maps for nebula kits (ex Axis) but it's better for gameplay if most maps don't have kits. 


and no factions please. I love factions but it creates terrible communities.

toketrain December 28, 2014 at 2:12 AM UTC

1. Smaller lobby, please... I'm sorry but the current one is kind of huge which is fine but it takes a while to get to each individual game.

2. More lobby stuff. Parkour with prizes, lobbies for each game where spectators can do parkour, puzzles, etc. or just watch the game.

3. Prizes. Please, don't limit rewards to donators. Have more interactive things to do on Avicus not related to any specific gamemode that reward. This will draw more players.

4. Skywars

5. Revamp Avicade. Add more maps, more games, get rid of the lobby at least until other games have one if this happens. Make the layout like other games...

6. More gamemodes

7. Keep staff apps open always. You'll have less to deal with at once, because you'll have people submitting apps more spread out through the year. You might have more apps coming in, but this will get more staff on hand possibly, bring more players definitely.

8. New ranks (a new donation rank for less money, and maybe one for more than $100, and also some that come without applying for staff or donating such as ones that title you as a master of a game (Walls Master, Nebula Master, etc.)

9. More map devs

10. New website. I believe this is already happening. It should have an appeal category at least. A messaging system (toggleable if you don't want to receive messages)

11. Add friends button

12. Factions pls

13. Get rid of Elimination, put in SG/HG and accept maps for it

This would maybe be as significant as the avicore update. Not sure. It's probably not gonna all get fixed in one winter update.

THE WINTER UPDATE
29th DECEMBER - 31st DECEMBER
Because Para said the hub would be done by the end of December....

I have some make it when you break a monument in Nebula you should get at least 12 XP because breaking the monument isn't easy . And you should being in a survival games . However there shouldn't be nebula kits because else people who are presidge will be more over powered making it harder for new players !

MerlinMaster December 30, 2014 at 5:12 PM UTC

There aren't kits in Nebula but, if you are meaning Nexus...
I get where you're coming from but, the kits are what Nexus is. The higher level kits are only as overpowered as the player makes it. The new players that do go to Nexus see the higher level kits as really good so, they keep playing to get those higher level kits. Once they get all of the kits in Nexus they can set their goals farther and farther and, get more kills.

Maybe an marked AFK section in the lobby so that those who want to AFK can stand there so that people know. (Instead of people trying to have a conversation with someone who's AFK)

In the winter update I would love to see: 
- A new hub with parkour and other perks 
- New gamemodes and maps for existing gamemodes
- Increased amount of Nebula servers open so that more games are running 
- A smaller hub that doesn't take as long to travel in
- More people playing CTH and other, less popular gamemodes
