Orb cant be stolen/ isnt there?
Was there a reset timer on it?
Also, a few times (2 or 3) tonight the enemy grabbed our orb from our borderlands at the northern altar. They ran with it and were killed, according to my teammates, but then the orb disappeared. It had a reset timer on it but was nowhere to be found. It eventually respawned north again after the timer ran out.
The next time I was there when the enemy grabbed the orb. I killed the orb carrier and was able to pick it up off the ground as expected and ran it into our keep. So I never witnessed the actual disappearance of it except that it was nowhere on the map in the previous scenarios.
Also, from what I have read, the quaggens weather node (mid) attacks the altar and it is possible for it to break the altar thus, in theory, dropping the orb to the ground. I haven’t witnessed that so I am not sure it actually drops to the ground vs. disappearing. I do know that the altar does get damaged though, so we kept a team guarding the quaggens :P
I didnt see any reset timer. Also its been about half an hour and it hasnt seemed to go back to their altar, despite no one carrying it as far as our map shows.
