1.10 Beta Bugs

"P.S. Did anyone notice that the orb now, when it hits a wall, instead of exploding spins in place, and then explodes at approximately the same time as it would normally? Looks srtange."

I did, actually.  I think the idea there was to allow the spell to shoot out all of its cold bolts and everything, so you get a more effective use of the spell no matter where you cast it.  It's kind of a bummer when you'd shoot it at a wall before and it'd dissipate, but your casting delay didn't compensate for it.  Y'see?  Probably just something someone realized that wasn't exactly fair since casting delays were introduced.

I suspect that it has more to do with the buggy "soft" walls that you can attack through in some spots. When I used FO at one point the the countess area; I would see the orb do its stationary spin on some wall sections and just do its normal explosion on most other collision objects (pillars, doorways, etc.) in the area. If the walls are not properly reacting with a collision event, then the missile will not end up doing its collision event properly either.
