Jeanne d'Arc - Level 2 Hero JD (Both Paths) + "Divine Restoration" Cooldown after being Killed - Level 2 JD loses Cooldown Progress for "Divine Restoration" ability after being Killed

Age of Empires IV IV - Report a Bug

For Jeanne d’Arc, the Hero JD should “no longer lose ability charge progress or cooldown progress when levelled up, garrisoned, or killed” according to the new patch notes.

This works correctly for Level 3 and Level 4 JD, but does not work correctly for Level 2 JD.

With Level 2 JD, if you have 60 out of 120 seconds left of the Cooldown for “Divine Restoration”, and then JD is Killed and Respawns, she will have to wait a full 120 seconds for the Cooldown, instead of 60 seconds (or less).

The current Charge Progress / Cooldown Progress mechanics works like this if JD is Killed:

  • [Ability with Charges] : The Charge Progress is “Frozen” until she respawns.
  • [Ability with Simple Cooldown] : The Cooldown Progress “Continues” in the background, unaffected by the fact that she is Killed.

Bonus Question : Is the “Frozen” Progress and “Continues” Progress tracking mechanic difference intended?

Bumping this in the spirit of fixing things for the big Season 9 Update.

For Level 2 JD only (either path), the “Divine Restoration” ability cooldown resets to 120 seconds when Level 2 JD is killed, even if the cooldown was finished, or whatever the cooldown progress was left.
