Bear Tribe Orb + Oppressive Force

torontodave

- Finally got 60 scrimshaw for the Icewind OPVP CW transmute, "Bear Tribe Orb"
- It has the correct orientation when it floats over my shoulder.
- It has the incorrect orientation when the Daily Power "Oppressive Force" is used. (The orb appears in the middle, but 90' off)

Not a huge deal.. But is there any way to fix the latter, without messing up the former?

This also affects the Ardent Coin store purchase "Orb of the Archmagus"

Normal orientation on my character

Skewed orientation when using the Daily power "Oppressive Force"

Actually, the way orb is shown in Oppressive Force is correct, that's how orbs were looking in beta-mod2. In mod3 they screwed up trying to makes orb rotate while out of combat.

Equipped Control Wizard orbs now spin and float around gently while not in use.

It worked for 1-2 preview builds and then all orbs stopped moving and got turned by 90 degrees. It works now only while using Tymora's Lucky Coin.

The orientation bug has mostly been "fixed" by making new orbs align on an axis so they look right (like fixing broken powers by changing their tooltip), while older orbs are skewed in some way. You can't see the problem when your orb is spherical or really abstract, and the book skins standing up instead of laying down doesn't look totally wrong either, but it's really obvious with things like the Many-Arrows skull or Sunite flower that now face out to the side instead of forwards (which still beats the heck out of the skull lying down). The Sparkling/Glacial/CW Booster skin also used to have the long axis vertical instead of horizontal. It's really bad with the Fallen Dragon orb, but of course few people have that anymore.

This is one of many graphical problems that I think they can't be bothered with because it would involve going in and adjusting the animation for every orb in existence.

Yes, but I just want the Bear Tribe Orb fixed.

It's an "endgame" transmute. 60 Scrimshaw from OPVP does. not. come. easy.
