Can you reduce instances for knight bus?
Please?
There’s never anyone in there. Every time I want to fight I’m going in and exiting 10, 20+ times (doesn’t matter how many times), I can rarely find other people and almost never in the dark chambers.
Re: Level 29 and no sign of mystery items
@Cuppa7 Same, I can't find the redacted report or London Five Transcript for a month. It could be a new issue or they are really rare or the recent changes blocked them. I'm stuck at that SOS assignment.
Re: Energy Distribution after Challenges
@Lucoire So let’s take your example above, but look at it from a different perspective:
Auror 1 has a disconnect. No fault of his/her own. Gets punished -15 SE.
Auror 2 tackles 1 foe (no spells) spends 30 SE. Gets +15 SE.
Professor uses 4 Potent Exstimulos tackling 4 foes, spends 14 SE. Gets -1 SE.
Magizoologist tackles 1 foe (no spells), uses 16 SE. Gets +1 SE.
Has the Professor not shown solidarity? No place in the team? And as for the poor Auror, no further incentive to fortress in fear of further unjust punishment.

Re: October Brilliant Event - Darkness Rising Part 2
So after 2 days of witch hunting it appears they have either been caught by the witch finder general, drowned or turned into ducks. 3 TTDS, and only 4 witches have spawned. Looks like I will have to venture out to pastures new to capture the elusive witch braving the recent plague effecting the area.
Based on this rate - my hopes for not missing a second BE are starting to dwindle.

I would also appreciate if stores would give me the option of declining losing lottery tickets. I would prefer to only purchase tickets that win.
Re: The story, one year later
What am I thinking now?
- I'm pretty convinced Grim is trapped within the Ministry. Evidence is circumstantial, but all of our main characters claim to have vivid dreams in which Grim was said to be speaking to them. But that is all they could remember, sadly. All of the characters also work in the Ministry now, including Ron. Who only returned to work there, AFTER the Calamity got underway. AND, most notably these dreams involving Grim are recent events in the timeline of the game.
- Im pretty convinced that another figure or group is responsible for the Calamity, and not Grim. ( I will refer to them as the Control of the Calamity here). Evidence here is stronger, because the LONDON FIVE disappeared first, and were not found. WHY did they disappear? WHY have they not been found? Is the only connection here that Grim was desperate to find his wife? And succeeded? (Well succeeded in the idea he found her, but could not return.)
- I believe Grim was " made to disappear" by the Control of the Calamity, for two reasons. (1) to provide a suggestive person of interest for the CAUSE of the calamity ( Grim Fawley), to attract the attention of investigators away from other leads. (2) To further frustrate London five investigation, and create a possible explanation that Grim was at fault for both the disappearance of the five, the Calamity, and his own disappearance ( due to ignorance and risk taking, therefore, self inflicted)
- Grim's known back ground and makeup make this previous reasoning speculative, when viewed at the investigation. We know Grim was highly intelligent. We know he was deeply dedicated to his wife and family. We should extend that to know that this is a person who would not put his family interests in danger, IN ANY POSSIBLE WAY. unless....... he was forced to. We haven't seen or heard evidence YET, that he was forced too. (But, there is suspicion that he may have forced himself to find a way)
- The most SOLID piece of evidence we have , is the Love Spell that allows the wielder to find that which he desires most. Coupled with the understanding that Grim was very interested in using it to locate Penelope Fawley. And that the Ministry Record of the news article, referencing that spell, has gone missing.
- As an aside, I agree Constance' role in the affair is not superficial. However egregious the method(s) she made to advance herself to work with Minister Hermione, keep in mind she FREELY admitted that to us. That suggests she does not fear the consequences of that information becoming public knowledge, or, she has captured our thinking about her to consider her only as a self-interested careerist. Maybe she has a public face and a private ambition?
- Another point of contention: Has anyone learned what it is to work as an UNSPEAKABLE? Is it really that opaque that you can't talk about it? Much like being in the Free masons? Something smells here too, and its not Fish Fry Friday. I believe this is also has a factor in the Calamity, that of Grim's occupation. Another irritating clue....
- Im pretty annoyed to learn that not much discussion is happening here about the Calamity, or that the game is not adding more to the story. For example, (1) has anyone other than I noticed that the Mysteries registry has the same green circle/stars, that the Challenges pages received? What can that mean? Tapping them results in Nothing. ( Well, thats not totally true. You do learn that they've been PLACED. Seriously? Isn't that self-evident?) I doubt they are there for Nothing. Or, (2) why the library in Prague is un-coooperative... perhaps they have an ulterior motive? Or,(3) what about this so far unknown potion ingredient, that of jobberknocky. Will we get a new potion to try in the game, that also uses that ingredient? Recall that this ingredient, and BANEBERRY, were in a memo that Grim made requesting potion materials. Another irritating clue....
Ok... its Sunday late, im tired from the Community day. Im going eat a bunch of dark chocolate and sulk for a minute. Glad I got those thoughts out of my head. Come on mates, What say you?

Darkness Rising II not so bad, but...
..all negative criticism aside, I thought DRII event wasn't as bad as the first or the (awful) community days. With tonics, the spawns are... there. The time's enough to complete at least the 4 taks pages...Only thing is, for people in lockdown, the energy requirements were still too high. Lots of countries experience new lockdown situations, but Niantic seems to want to 're-Embrace the real world'.
re-Embrace the second covid wave, more like.
The only thing I always find strange, is that you have to have foreknowledge of the task pages ahead. If I had not known that page 2 required me to obtain runestones, I would have gotten them inadvertently by just visiting the event registry page. I knew the task was going to come, and so I avoided looking at the registry. When the task to obtain the runestones came, I just looked at it and immediately got 3 out of 4, eliminating a big part of the grind.
I think there's a flaw in that kind of gameplay. Same goes for the weird image placement 'rules', in which you can't place images anymore because there's bound to be some task or prestige-ing ahead; you need to 'save them up'. There's something 'off' about that.

Re: Energy Distribution after Challenges
What if someone used a load of Potent Exstimulo potions? They might have done the majority of the fighting but used less than average Spell Energy.

There was an error with the Dark Witch HP at first, but we were able to fix it! Thanks for reporting

Re: October Community Day
Love this game, started playing on day one with my kids even though I am not a gamer, they played PokemonGo and we all love HP so it was a natural win. A year later they stopped playing and I'm still here. I have been here through the changes, and the fragment losses, and the stream changes, new books and lessons, and it's all good, but this last event weekend took SO long and used so many potions. I walk between 5-8 miles a day, this should be something I could normally complete in that distance, and yet here I am driving to shopping centers to find the last three impossible fragments late at night. I think giving us a fragment on the one that is rare in the portkey might be an idea, or in the fortress. Find 30 of the same thing gets dull, and when they don't appear after 6 tonics in a single day, it's not fun. I am a full Magi and love battling, and walking, brewing, everything but these latest changes have me sending in a message in hope that you will work on these events, I want to have fun again. But if this game becomes something that sucks all my time then it will need to go.
