There was a considerable number of fixes applied today for dismount and dismount related code. There have been numerous reports of various bugs regarding dismount, and this is pretty much what was changed
The most important one, probably, was moving the dismount timer from the basemount, for obvious reasons. Now, this is controlled directly in the playermobile. It wont be possible to use the pet ball trick, or anything else to remount early.
Next, and nearly as important as the last, players who perform a dismount attack, use a bola, or even let their pets perform a dismount attack, will no longer be able to ride, for the same duration as the target of the attack.
Also, for the bola, most of the numbers were just dead wrong. For the time being, the changes to bolas are Core.ML and later. If we can confirm that this change was done during AoS, or SE, we can correct the code accordingly. Those changes are:
The duration of affect was changed from 3 seconds dismounted time, to 10 seconds, and the attacker gets the same: 10 seconds.
targeting an opponent does not instantly throw the bola at them. Rather, its 4 seconds from target to throw, you must not be mounted, can not remount, and must stay within 8 tiles of the target during the 4 second "throw" part of the sequence.
