It's not that deep but, I noticed you always face > when coming out of a portal into a new map, because I kept on wondering why I was flash jumping in the wrong direction.
Going from El Nath Market to El Nath facing left will spawn you facing right, that always messes me up.
Hm, you're right. I just noticed that when testing it out on my GM. Lol, that's really a "bug" which I have never paid attention to...
Is that really a bug tho? I think it is because the code just default it to face the "original" side which is right side. This always happen when you change channel, log in, going in or out cash shop and portals, and anything else that'll prompt the reset of your character position.
I wouldn't classify this as a bug (or at least not by definition), but rather as a very trivial and minor inconveniences to whoever teleports/flash jumps after entering the portal. And you're right, I think this is how it's meant to be, even at character screen selection where characters are all facing right.
