bombarda spell and oddities?
Hi Everyone!
Here are your Infographics for the June 2021 Brilliant Event Part 2- An Unforgivable Truth.
Are self-playing harps going to be boosted? I don't see them often near me
Portkeys all cleared out ready. Just need to top up my spell energy a bit before this evening and then I’ll be all sorted. I enjoy Brilliant Events and this one seems it’ll actually move the story forward, so I’m interested to see what happens next month.
I'm having the issue of no KB or any foundables again. 🤔
Feedback based on 3hrs of play - on stage I
Interesting BUG just encountered...
After waiting on THDs to appear, two appeared, I used trace charm - third appeared but suddenly ALL had changed to Philosophers stone - the two dogs had converted over?!?
Restarted and corrected - THD reappeared but... another BUG -- counts are wrong? Collected 12 dogs but only showing as 11 on event page? I would screenshot to demo - BUT if I go to registry, it will cause runestone collection and cause the wait till stage II to be in vain.
I have not seen any Self-Playing Harps. Even with a TTD. Is it too much to ask that the foundables that are supposed to be boosted are like... actually boosted?
@CeruleanGirl , there are Self-Playing Harps out there. I have returned a few of them while working on the 1/4 Special Assignment. I have not seen any during the 2/4 Special Assignment but I am confident that I will have them by the time that I complete the Master Notes requirement. Good luck 🤞
Ummm...anyone else getting Brilliant Dragon Eggs?
@McMuggles70 We get traces from Part 1 of a Brilliant Event during Part 2. That's the way it has always worked.
Omg. Thank you!
Just my luck. Halfway through my third TTD I finally got a Self-Playing Harp, used a Trace Charm on it and, wouldn't you know, it was one of the times when it doesn't duplicate itself. So three TTDs and one Trace Charm in and I still only have 1/3 Self-Playing Harps. Ridiculous.
I am also not seeing Harps using TFTD. I've noticed this before, such as with Dumbledore during last event. The only way to get them is to use lots of TFTD or find them just randomly in the wild.
I get zero spawns or ingredients in my home, so rely on TFTD unless I'm out and about. I'll be walking tomorrow morning. Maybe then I'll see them.
@Not4u13 I finally got two on my fourth TTD. I used another Trace Charm on the first one and it didn't duplicate, but luckily the TTD spawned another one. And of course I have gotten 2 or 3 since then because once you finish the task, the trace you needed is everywhere.
😂
I really didn't want to have to go out to find them because it's about 110F here right now. I try not to go out unless I absolutely have to!
2 TTFD 0 self-playing harps.
@hpwulola I don't see any harps at all. Ran 4 TTDs till now but no spawn at all. Is it even in the event spawn pool? Something that's related to the event shouldn't be this ultra rare!
Honestly, what’s the point in trying with this event when I still can’t load the game on mobile data. I’m very disappointed the time and money I’ve spent is wasted now.
Not a single harp yet seen so far either at any point, although I keep seeing the wanted poster, which also happens to be a high rated foundable from the same family! have to ask, has the correct foundable been boosted here?
As I suspected, I went for a walk this morning and found about 5 harps in less than an hour.
I was also seeing twice as many three headed dogs to every philosophers stones yesterday and the first half hour of my walk, but patience paid off as the ratio switched in the last half hour.
I'm now onto page 4 tasks. It's really going very quickly. We have a week, so my best advice for those struggling right now is to keep playing at least a little each day and you should complete the event within the time allotment.
Also a shout out for Snowdrop. I might get through a day of brewing today without having to buy Snowdrop!
I'm in the same boat as @CeruleanGirl . Two TTD's quaffed, only one Self Playing Harp. Very annoying. Also did the charm and it didn't duplicate.
I’m having difficulties with harps too! Been stuck on task 2 since yesterday!
@Djea , @CeruleanGirl isn't saying there aren't self playing harps out there. She is saying the supposed boost isn't much of a boost. I've had this problem too, when we are told to look for 20 of something, and they ether don't appear in quantity sufficient to complete the task (even if you don't miss any that do appear), or so many similar items appear that the ones you need are hidden. (There's a message on this base from a year ago of someone who was quite happy to have waded through 125 things that weren't required in order to collect 5 things that were required.)
I'm on the opposite side of this issue in regards to unicorn hair. I hear people complain that it is rare, but I have 150 of them stack up in my vault.
The point is The Boy Who Cried Wolf. If something is dangerous, needed, important, required, whatever, you shouldn't have to spend hours searching for it. Her comment is valid, and yours just says you are satisfied with the status quo. Good for you, but that doesn't mean her complaint isn't valid.
I've only seen 1 harp in 5 hours of my usual off-and-on play. That tells me that supposed "boost" isn't much of a boost.
P.S. I don't expect to see many traces at all, while sitting in my office. Unemployment isn't a virtue to me, not that I'm suggesting that anyone who has an easier time finding needed traces than I am is willingly unemployed. The point is, when I am out an about, I need useful traces to appear. I only have so much time before I have to be back in my office.
I've haven't used a TTD yet, because I have noticed that the boost for wanted traces does seem to increase as the event goes on. Could this be programmed into the game to cause people to spend TTDs? Could it be that Niantic notices and increases the boost? If only the lesson would take permanently, instead of requiring complaints for them to take action.
I haven't seen any self playing harps today. Been out and about for a while but nothing all day. I'm not spending ttd as I have 6 days to complete the final task. It was hard enough to get the first 3 for the first task!
The trace isn't really boosted. If it is, then only for ttd. Tbh, I haven't really seen many harps in my area even with the ttd. So this so called 'boosts' has only been upped by a notch maybe?
It's just the same flawed task design as always (see https://community.harrypotterwizardsunite.com/en/discussion/comment/78193); I really don't understand why they stick to these types of quests, which are bound to be frustrating for some players; and they would be supereasy to fix, without any additional work for them...
@CeruleanGirl, @Eammonn : When you use the trace charm on a foundable from a TTD you don't get the duplicate (although you might be lucky that among the random traces from the charm you get one that you need). The duplicate only appears from regular foundables or foundables from DDs.
Hi, is anyone else having problems collecting fragments from the fortress?? I've used loads of event runestones on different levels and only got 1 foundable. Any help please.
@Goldmare it is best to stick to one chamber until you get your fragments. I hope that works for you, too.
@Goldmare : Assuming you are using the correct runestone (right?), that's a case of bad luck (and the fact that this can happen another of these - uhm - suboptimal RNG based mechanics). Chances of getting the fragment is lowest at Ruins I (a little more than 50%) and increases to 100% at Dark V.
Depending on how many runestones I have left, I'd typically do Ruins I (it is just the quickest of the bunch and the chances of getting a fragment is not that much worse than for chambers that are significantly harder to do). That is until I get to the point where I have only as many stones left as I need foundables, at which point I'd switch to Dark V (unless I think I can get more stones more easily...) for the guaranteed fragments. Luckily, it never got to that so far...
Why just Spell Books as rewards?
See they’re saving DADA books for bonus completion.
Stingy!!
@WitchHiker the brilliant event gives 5 DADA books each upon completion of 4/4 and bonus special assignments.
