Oracle Upgrade has not reduced gathering time at Emporia

Hi. 


I used to send 115 Javs to collect 7 Drachma from a Traders Emporia in just over 11 mins.  Having spent months accumulating Sketches to upgrade the Oracle, I expected a 50% reduction in gathering time at lvl 21 (presumably meaning the time should come down to 6.5 mins), and then a further 50% at lvl 22 (taking it down to 3 mins). 


However, I now have to send 122 Javs and it still takes over 11 mins to get 7 Drachama.


Is this a bug, not getting the benefit of the upgrade?

Title: Oracle Upgrade has not reduced gathering time in Emporia



Platform: Facebook

Server: “The Thracian Frontier”;

Feature: Oracle Bonus of reduced gathering time at Emporia

Special Conditions: Oracle Level=22/22.  Dominion Level 13 activated


Step 1: Go to your City, choose the Oracle

Step 2:View the Oracle bonuses.  50% Gathering Speed at level 21 and a further 50% gathering speed at level 22 should have been awarded




Step 3: Go to Emporia.  Select Traders Emporia, Unclaimed, then Capture

Step 4: Select 1 Hoplite and 107 Javs (Without Dom Status active, this needs to be 122 Javs.

 

Outcome: Loading time is 11 mins and 13 seconds to gather 7 Drachma



What should have happened: This is the same time it used to take when the Oracle was at level 20.  This should have reduced by 50% and 50% again to around 3 mins.  It does not appear that upgrading to level 22 has reduced the time at all.

Sorry if I look silly but I have another question:

We see that when selecting the troop it is visualized 11m.13s., Have you conquered the village and watched the time it takes to collect once conquered?

It's 11m.13s. or the time is half?

It has been detected, and this solution is being watched, that sometimes the time marked when we select troops and the real time once the troop leaves our city is not visualized well being the real time the one that marks once leaves our city.

It isn't easy to test as it is virtually impossible to hold an emporiuum for 11 mins!


However, if the bonus was working as advertisted, it would only take 2 mins 48 secs to complete the task and the troops would then be on their way home.  I have tested it (cost me 122 troops!) and you can see below that I was attacked after 7 mins and the troops were obviously still there.  The timer was counting down nomally too, so it really does appear it would have taken 11mins 13 secs.

Hello, Archon!

Please note that you receive 50% Gathering speed bonus only once, on Oracle level 21. Level 22 brings you additional City defence bonus.

Also, troops start collecting resources after 5 minutes. 

The reported case cannot be classified as a bug since this is a part of the regular gameplay. I have moved your topic to Game Discussion thread.

I WAS ALSO DECEIVED  ON THAT TOO AND I SPEND MY  COLUMNS IN A USELESS UPGRADE, HOPING THAT IT WILL WORK LIKE  50% X 50%, WHILE IN REALITY IT  GATHERED BY ONLY 50%.
