2.5x Elytra Civ Buff - could lead to accidental deaths?

Last season I remember there was a MAJOR speed buff with the elytra. I'm not sure what the exact multiplier was, but I remember that it was hard to control, and that players accidentally died from it. It also didn't help that the buff could kick in when you're not expecting it (i.e. you don't check the F map and enter Planes land). It was later reduced (or removed entirely). I don't want to see that mistake made again. My biggest concern is if this happens at SOTW (players elytra rushing to the corners learning that the buff exists the hard way). I wasn't on for SOTW this season but I gather it was probably pretty rough in terms of server stability so I'm hoping that SOTW next season can go relatively well. According to the release post, the buff is meant to be 2.5x. Currently it's either much less or not working at all, but making this post for when it does get fixed. This buff is a double edged sword. There are 3 potential issues. 1. Higher speed = more difficult to control 2. Higher speed = you take more damage if you crash into blocks 3. It kicks in when you enter Planes land, so could catch you off guard In addition to the fact that players who played this season may not be used to it.
