    This wasn't listed in the change log, but it is currently almost impossible to die from falling. Is this a serious change, or what?

    Shit I hope so. This will kill those ugly parachutes. It was like this in a RC for 1.8 and I liked it cause that's when I had my penthouse on streets of fire and anytime they breached my spot I would just jump down and come back up the elevator and surprise them.

    Also I remember someone telling me something about crouching as you fall or rite before you land to survive big falls.

    I personally think fall damage is an important obstacle and tool.

    I wasn't a huge fan of the parachutes, but at least to avoid fall damage with a parachute you had to give away your position.

    Now people can just completely disregard heights, removing a game dynamic.

    You will suicide mid air if you fall from high enough. But from far higher than any point i am supposed to be able to get to in any map i can think of.

    Downward velocity of 2000 units per second is a sanity check -- you shouldn't achieve such rates under normal circumstances.

    Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it's a setting on E4A.

    It is Empires water, not normal water. Empires water kills metall apperantly.

    empires water is a mathematical dimension defined by 8 coordinates interlinked in a "3 lines to nearest coordinates" breaking it up into a box giving the dimension space, anything in that space undergoes a certain effect and effects are applied to anything inside the dimension

    correct me?
