It feels floaty in training mode, anyone else think so? I honestly think it's just the amount of speed you can actually gain on this map. Also, the hills feel more 'rolling'. Yeah, it's just the speed. It happens (and should happen) in any game with constant gravity. The thing that the speed of this map highlights though is how lack of proper projectile inheritance just starts to become a problem when you're chasing someone at 250, matching their speed, not even far away, and yet as you shoot a disc (or nade or whatever) the disc can barely keep up with your own speed and has next to no chance of hitting the enemy (at least unless you get directly in front of him, which isn't exactly very easy if a flag carrier knows what they are doing). In other words: nice map, but with the current lack of full velocity inheritance on every single projectile, the movement is just too fast (in terms of velocity; in terms of huge boring hills I'd say it feels the slowest in the game, unless you're going like 3 times as fast).

Turrets are a little much, but the fact that you can hit the flag doing 225 ez means its not as much of an issue as it could be. _________________ patchnotes wrote: Voicepacks are now available to purchase.

Not to mention that it is huge, with great big curves to ski on. Keep up the good work, and thanks for listening to our feedback on bigger maps! _________________ It's not about 100% inheritance being a higher or lower value than another.

Having a hard time chasing fast cappers from the flag stand since the terrain around the base is pretty fast and the mid-field is so high up around the volcanoes. Reminds me of drydock and the uphill route. _________________ -- LgN\|sfxer - Team Legion - #Legion on irc.tribalwar.com - http://www.the-legion.net --

I honestly think it's just the amount of speed you can actually gain on this map. Also, the hills feel more 'rolling'.
