Few Updates! by Zeusy August 4, 2015 at 6:08 PM UTC

Recently, the Senior Staff team has been discussing a lot about getting updates out there for the community to interact with, and support the staff team. Thus, we've got some new updates.


Suggestion Rooms on Teamspeak: http://prntscr.com/80s4ur

If anyone has a suggestion, you can get on Teamspeak and input/discuss your suggestions with players or staff members. All suggestions will be noted and discussed by Mods and Seniors, based off the majority vote, it'll get either implemented or denied. If any trolling goes on within the channels, you will get punished accordingly


AutoClicker is now a Permanent Ban. (Suggested by: Qwuiblington)

Although the post got locked, he made a good point. We've discussed and agreed that 15 days is too lenient for Autoclicker. Thus, it's now a Permanent Ban at first offence.


Inappropriate Names:

All names which have curse words in them will now be punishable, if you have any questions regarding a name, don't hesitate to ask a Mod+.


Have a wonderful day/night.

How is my name?

SirCyanide August 4, 2015 at 8:08 PM UTC

How is my name?
You should be fine :)

Is Ass considered a bad word?
I mean
It can mean Butt or Donkey...

No, ass is an exception I think.

JJTheGuy August 4, 2015 at 8:08 PM UTC

There needs to be a set list of "curse words". It honestly wouldn't take too long to make.

Porkyyy August 4, 2015 at 8:08 PM UTC

"Ass" is indeed an exception. We can whip up a list of words that are considered "inappropriate", but it's common sense for the most part.
Again, as Zeus said, you can just ask a staff member if you're unsure if a name is inappropriate or not.

Alaann August 4, 2015 at 8:08 PM UTC

Zeus please start working with the block lag, is the biggest issue in avicus.

He has no power over that, only Kylo can fix it (which he is on vacation from what I've heard)

Or Pav or Javi cause we don't just have one dev anymore. :^)

Vijf August 4, 2015 at 9:08 PM UTC

What about like and share buttons on the forums?

No, the lag is coming from the provider's equipment, it's not from the plugins.
And the only person who can do anything about the provider is Kylo.

Ehem we have switched over to a different host, and back, and still, same lag... 

To me that suggests it is plugin side and something is triggering lag spikes.

But im no computer expert that's just my opinion.

Kylo said we switched host and it got worse, not that it got better or the same hence he switched it back.
That may clarify it a bit more for you :P

Do you got an Auto Clicker detector? :P

Dyspa August 5, 2015 at 1:08 AM UTC

Ok, good, autoclicker will result in a perm-ban from now on but tell me, how are the staff going to know if someone is autoclicking without a plugin?

From my knowledge, autoclickers/macros can't be seen nor detected through spectating since they don't really give us clues for them to be caught. Maybe, people with a bit more experience might see some signs of autoclicking by the way the other person hits/looks like, but still the result wouldn't be 100% accurate since no one's a god at that. 

That's why I'm saying a plugin would be pretty good for the server, so iif you get one to work, I'm guessing me and the community will be more than thankful for the contribution.

Appreciate it (:
Is this gonna be a regular thing? I'd recommend setting up a schedule (weekly or monthly most likely) and make it some sort of newsletter. Would definitely help with transparency and I'm sure a regular one of these would be appreciated by the vast majority of the community, even if it only has a few bullet points.

That's the plan! You should be seeing more frequent updates from the admins and/or senior moderators.

An autoclicker plugin has to be detecting rhythms from past clicking speed. Say my auto clicker is on 9.5 cps to 10.5 cps, but it does the same everytime, so say 9.5, .77, .92 etc, then they should be automatically banned. Also, if someone is clicking over 20 CPS consistently then they're autoclicking.

How come you are allowed to swear in chat but not have a swear in your username?

Robin_DD_J August 9, 2015 at 10:08 AM UTC

As long as it is not offensive

MasterProX August 9, 2015 at 11:08 AM UTC

How come you are allowed to swear in chat but not have a swear in your username?
As you're probably already aware, swearing in chat is condoned as long as it's not rudely directed at anyone, and it's done sparingly as opposed to excessively. Having even an inoffensive swear word in your username would likely violate the latter condition, since it would appear not only every time you send a message in the chat, but every time you score a kill — or get a kill scored on you — or someone mentions your name (among other potential instances). That's just my guess, at least, since it would make sense.

SnowSX3 August 9, 2015 at 11:08 AM UTC

In chat, you're allowed to swear as long as it's not excessive or directed towards anybody.
It also depends on the context.

Inappropriate usernames are in a grey area because everyone has a different opinion on what's appropriate and what isn't. 

So by implementing this rule, it will makes things slightly eaiser to tell whether a name's appropriate or not.

BmB August 9, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

Well done zeus for making this and really taking suggestions into account, i thank you for that.

But regarding the autoclick plugin or whatever make sure it is created well and it has had a lot of field testing before it is implemented because gee you can go wrong with an autoclick detection plugin. If it does go wrong you are going to have so many false bans.

ImRaging August 9, 2015 at 1:08 PM UTC

After the summer, i think devs should prioritize fixing lag blahblah and adding an autoclicker detector. Then, after that, they can go back to adding more in-game perks and all that jazz

Block lag is an issue. I'll put it on the document, hopefully the devs will respond.

You're right, however, there are still somekind of autoclickers where you can set-up a timer to regulate your cps so it doesn't make it a sequence.

All in all - it's very hard to detect.
You can just click as well as using the auto clicker and it disturbs the rhythm straight off.

In my opinion all developers should give their 100% effort on fixing this and put everything els in the way.

Kylo's on vacation, he'll probably be back in a week max. Hopefully, when he comes back they can work on the blocklag and all
