Dev Server bug(?)

Hey,
I tested out the dev server and had a soccer ball with an indicator pointing straight to pvvnys room. So far so good - I threw the ball on the spot marked in the image:

However it blew up once it touched the ground - which was not quite what I expected. Not sure if thats intended.

    It may have teleported to some random part of the map. Jetpack into the portal and see what happens. : p

    Oh okay - but in that case the animation should be different (some sort of fading) - atm it is the same as when the ball hits a cactus and 'blows up'

    If the portals are the same as the regular dev server portals you can't throw balls into the portal, it gives you the same outcome as throwing the ball into a black space, or hitting a cactus.

    @newbie87120 is correct.

    Here is an old video (Apr 5, 2014) showing lobbing bombs into portal -

    Here is an old video (May 30, 2014) jetpack into portal

    Looks like i never bothered making one batting a soccerball, but it is similar to bomb.

    It's not really a bug, but yeah, it's counter-intuitive and confuses players. Maybe we'll implement some better solution.
    You can read a long explanation about portals here, it'll make more sense.
