...Is this a bug?

You need to be more specific than just 2 screenshots. What exactly in those are you asking about?
.. She doesn't, really. xD Just look at them.
From 4 to 5 there is:
Delay on 4, not on 5
1:30 recycle on 4, 0:25 recycle on 5
1600 hoard cost on 4, 360 hoard cost on 5
"Automatically hits" on 4, not on 5
Basically there's a lot of inconsistency between screenshots.
And then there is the question: Does each ability in fact do what it says in it's respective screenshot?

I didn't notice one way or the other with regard to the delay and the "automatically hits", but Gold Rage IV was definitely consuming 1600 hoard and its recycle was definitely being 1 minute and 30 seconds.
The devs went through and changed around Gold Rage I-IV somewhat recently I believe, upping its hoard cost, but I'm not sure if anything else was changed. That could be an explanation - an unfinished nerf/change?
I certainly noticed that on my son's hatchling that the recycle on goldrage III and IV was certainly much greater than I remembered with Aurakvoar... And I know on my ancient GR is certainly much faster.. and I beleive if I recall correctly it used to work something like.
GR I Had a recycle of 0:45
GR II Had a Recycle of 0:40
GR III Had a Recycle of 0:35
GR IV Had a Recycle of 0:30
GR V Had a Recycle of 0:25
GR VI Had a recycle 0:20
GR VII Had a recycle of 0:15
Not sure when it changed. I looked and I can't find it in any patch notes
GRs I-IV ALL now have a 1:30 recycle...a lot more hoard to use them, but can't quite remeber exact amounts too.Quote:

so the question is will the timer be fixed?Quote:

I've played around with this plenty, and aside from my hatchling running out of hoard a bit faster, I have no problem with it.
Edit:
I'm pretty sure the new hoard cost is:
200-400-800-1600 for I-IV
Also, this has been in for atleast 2 months people, I'm surprised a threat didn't pop up earlier.
Really don't think this is a bug still since, as Meepsa said, it's been around for a few months.
Are we reducing ourselves to threatening the developers now?! ;)Quote:

I'd also like the timer to progressively get longer if we're going this route, from say.. :30 to 1:00 or, if the devs insist, 1:30. As a hatchling with few abilities it's nice to be able to get them recycled faster.
Of course I'd love the original gold rage to be kept. Always hits or not, I barely missed anyway on my dragons. But to be honest this is something that we should have all seen coming. Gold Rage is OP, whether it was always that way or not, it's OP. Was going to be touched upon one day.
