Thanks
Is it there?
I dont see it in mine
40 minutes in and no brilliant foundables for Task 1 nor any brilliant portkeys seen despite using TTD
@BRILLBILL Same! I've got less than 4 minutes left on a TTD and I've only gotten 2 Brilliant Flesh-Eating slugs.
same. used a TTD, not a single event foundable received. Must be a new low for HPWU.
One TFTD and only 1 brilliant trace charm appeared. Also appears to be nerfed, as traces are not appearing as often as they were. What a great start to an event...NOT.
Also what in the actual heck did this team do with the beam flairs on foundables? They make no sense at all now. The 3 highest levels of severity are now Red? Low level foundables are now showing up as red beams. Moaning Myrtle is a red beam? Really? She used to be yellow back when the beams made sense. Seems like they are just trying to make foundables harder and harder to catch. I'm a level 60, fully maxes player and there's no reason that Moaning Myrtle shouldn't be 100% green easy to catch.
Same here. An hour in and one TTD showed 2 brilliants and TONS of red beams (all non-severe). Funny, I’ve seen more red beams in the last hour than I did all weekend during the event. 🤣
Hello! Can you actually turn this event on? Wasted a TTD. How about a couple of port keys? Thanks!
I cannot see the tasks - when I click the usual button for tasks on the main page, my screen goes black and the app crashes. Is anyone else having that problem?
@egtodd96 I had the same issue until I downloaded all the Assets in settings.
As with others, it took 15 min into a TTD to get a brilliant and so far only that 1.
Why did they decide that the start of a new event is the time to release an update? As usual, it seems that there are more bugs than fixes. The new beam color (guess it is supposed to be orange-red) is hard to distinguish from the regular red.
After 1 1/2 hours and two trace tonics I have a few Brilliant slugs. I have a bunch of regular flesh-eating slugs and regular Quidditch Draco. Did somebody increase the regular versions instead of the new Brilliant Slugs and Draco? I’m not throwing any more Trace tonics down the drain chasing a couple of slugs during the 1/2 hour they last.
I am 2 hours in and still no Brilliant Traces on the map. I did download the seats.
@DeRotz Thank you for the tip - I tried to download the assets and it's taken over 30 minutes for less than 50% of the assets to download. I've never had this issue before, ie. I've never downloaded assets in the game. Unsure if this download time normal.
Anyone else having the issue of the Event / Special / Daily Assignments button not working?
@hpwulola Could someone from your team provide an update to this discussion when the issue of TTD not providing Brilliant Traces is fixed? Don't want to waste any more of them until I know that I will actually be able to complete the tasks. Thanks!
Same issue as others. TTD used and only 2 brilliants and tons of beams. Been stuck at task 1 since the start of the event with only the brilliant slugs left to find.
TTD doesn't work.
Please, fix it!
@egtodd96 For me, the latest round of Assets took about 5 min (around 124 files but not sure of the actual size). If it is downloading more, it can take a while. When I had to reinstall the game, it took longer than 30 min to re-download all the Assets (a couple GB worth of files). Probably not surprising, but downloading Assets can also be buggy with this game, and I have had it stall out on me where I have had to Cancel the download and restart the game. Good thing is that if you Cancel the download and then start the download again, it will continue where it left off.
I have the black screen also. I tried downloading assets and seems to always get stuck at the end. If I go back to it it says I need 1 asset and never fully downloads.
@hpwulola @HPWUTeam
Also, no brilliant foundables for 20min from TDD. Then 1 showed up.
Very different from the last couple of events. I walked around for an hour to get 12 slugs...
Is this intended?
may be something to do with update to 2.18?
5 (or 6?) TTD used and still only seen 8 Brilliant Dracos. Such a waste of resources. Please fix.
Yeah…same complaints as others. Still trying to grab our cash by moving the goalposts. This game is becoming so much less fun.🤦🏼♂️
@hpwulola
I'll add myself to the list of people who have used a TTD that gave me almost no brilliant traces. I was at 6/12 Brilliant Flesh-Eating Slug foundables before using my TTD ( because I went out to pick up a few things this morning,) and I am at 7/12 after using it.
Also, add me to the people who are wondering what the heck is going on with the beams. Traces that were originally yellow, and have been orange since they were messed up so many months ago (and never fixed for some completely inexplicable reason,) are now showing as red. But when you look at their registry page, their actual level hasn't changed.
In addition, I am getting tons of normal, non-brilliant Slytherin Seeker Draco Malfoys. He's everywhere!
Basically, this is one messed up event. Please ask those who are responsible for it to figure it out before you lose even more players who have just had enough.
Edited to add this observation:
My sister-in-law recently passed away after 6 months in the hospital due to complications from COVID, so I am back to trying to stay around home as much as possible. Even though restrictions were never that bad here, I tried to not go out more than necessary, just to be safe. The last few weeks I have just started to venture out again, but now with recommendations being made to stay home and stay masked, even if vaccinated, I have begun to stay home again whenever possible. I had to go out this morning to pick up some medicine at Walgreen's for my daughter and noticed that, other than the employees, I was the only one in the store wearing a mask. It was disheartening. But I digress... My point is that the play-at-home aspect of the game still needs to be an important consideration. Obviously, if you read the comments, it is apparent that this event is definitely not play-at-home friendly. This is also disheartening.
@Kodokmag I won't pretend to be an expert on these things, but my version currently says 2.17.0.24608653.d256609.a256734. Would changes due to an update I don't have yet have any effect on the game? The trace beam color is obviously the thing that stands out the most as being seriously messed up. The other stuff, the event stuff, is annoying but could possibly be attributed to bad luck or some such. But the beams being so wrong makes no sense whatsoever.
@hpwulola I just had red, orange, and orange-red beams on the map at the same time. I hadn't noticed the new color but watched closely since @DeRotz mentioned it. But it still doesn't make any sense. The beam colors still do not correspond to their actual threat level, so they are still not reliable. They've been messed up so long we had just gotten used to them that way, and now they are just more messed up. Do we have to get used to them all over again, or will they actually be fixed some time soon?
Came here to comment about the lack of brilliant foundables showing from the TTD I used, only to see I'm far from being the only one!
I wish I had counted but I swear it seemed like I had fewer foundables (any) showing from the TTD overall. And I must've had only 5 or 6 brilliant ones, only one of which was the slugs! Very frustrating and a waste of half an hour & a TTD. I'll be very wary of using another during the entire event unless an announcement is made to say it's fixed.
Also, if this really is the new 'fixed' beam colours then it's a joke.
@Hannager Yep, just went through another TTD without a single brilliant trace. It would be really nice to get a response to our comments, even if it's just an "Okay, we are looking into it."
@CeruleanGirl Thanks for your update. I'm itching to play but based on your recent attempt, I'll keep holding off.
From the 2.18.0 Release discussion, the beams are supposed to be fixed once we are able to update the app (still not available on the App store last I checked). Based on previous experience with the developers "fixing" the beams, I'm not holding my breath.
