Harpy Abduct RoF is Wrong

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug
1

  • Game Version: Premium

  • Build Number: v.100.19.5934.0 (595758R)

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue: Harpy’s Abduct RoF is incorrect. It is stated as 4.0 on the UI, but in reality is about 1.5. It is also uneditable.

you sure it doesnt have the upgrade? it reduces about 60% the time

I’m referring to the time taken for her to swoop down and abduct a unit. It says it takes her 4 seconds to do it on the UI panel, but it’s actually 2 seconds (I check the animation editor times)

i though that upgrade reduces swoop down time

5

No, from reading the description of Iron Grip I think it changes how long she holds onto the unit before dropping it, allows you to control when its dropped and increases her movement speed. If it was intended to decrease the swoop time it wouldn’t work anyway, since this value (like Siren’s RoF) cannot be edited.

the animation is a bit weird. The Harpy is flying backwards after grabbing its target.. It should continue forward or turn around to return to its previous position.

do you see the animation time in the editor?

Just to add to this and potential consequences of this bug, Harpy is unaffected by RoF slow effects such as Caladria’s bewitched ability. Even though it states the RoF on abduct went from 4 to 12, it stays at the actual RoF of 2.0.

Are special abilities affected by caladria pacify anyway ?

Yes, anything with a RoF should be affected and these special abilities have a RoF:

		<onhiteffect type="StatModify" duration="5.000000">
			<modify type="ROF">3.000000</modify>
			<modify type="Speed">0.670000</modify>
		</onhiteffect>
