Stratus Status #16, 2019-03-25






Hello everyone! Welcome to the sixteenth issue of Stratus Status, the official biweekly newsletter. Are you interested in recent network changes and what the community has been up to? If so, read on to get up-to-date about all things Stratus!



Stratus Ranked




Last Sunday, amactus  announced the introduction of Stratus Ranked. It is an individually scored pick-up game style league system. It all currently works through a new Discord server, which you can join by clicking here, or you can check out the announcement thread here. A big thank you to everyone who participated in making this happen!



At the end of March, the top player on the leaderboard will receive a free private server lasting a month. Good luck!



Tournament News



Congratulations to Aura for winning Stratus' 5th tournament!



You can re-watch the grand final here, see the winner's thread here, send us your tournament highlights here, review our screen sharing transparency here and give us feedback about the tournament here. Any feedback you provide will prove us valuable, so please fill out the form and we'll be eternally grateful :)



Development News


During the past fortnight, the UHC part of Operation Ares received a number of improvements to put it closer in functionality as to what our current plugin does. The plugin over all also received a number of improvements, such as friendly fire protection for TNT, a /map command and a rage facet, amongst many other things.



New Maps


The following maps were added to the public repository over the past 2 weeks:





The next minor rotation update is scheduled to be released in the next few days. If you have any last minute suggestions or feedback on the current rotation, please make a post in this thread.

Admin Corner


On March 17th, we welcomed ALM  to the administration team to take on the lead role as head of development. Austin has worked incredibly hard on Operation Ares so far, and has dedicated countless hours to mentoring and overseeing our trial developers. If you have not already, please give him a warm welcome!





Biweekly Question


As you've read before, we will be awarding a private server to the highest ranking player in ranked at the end of the month. Who do you think it will be?



That's all for this time!


Thanks for reading this week's issue. See you all next time!



A full list of past issues can be found on our profile page, and if you have any feedback about Stratus Status please let us know below.

What a perfect issue!


As for the question, I think Hivlik will get the server.
