Meeting people. I really, really want to start getting people like me playing so that we can meet on a regular basis.
I am excited it is going to be fortress focused because that is going to make it more suitable for grouping up and staying in one place than catching foundables.
Asking for a friend. 😉
I’m really excited about this! The last community day, my favorite part was meeting other wizards and doing fortress battles together. However, there wasn’t any bonuses last time so we kind of limited it. I’m so excited to really get into some great battles this time.
I already announced the location of where. Meet in my local discord and Facebook group so we can have as many people as possible come to meet with everyone. I’m hoping this pulls everyone out and we can work together on these challenges.
I'm excited about the bonus xp while playing with friends!
I gained an entire level, and then some, just going solo... If I could make some friends here in Marin (just north of SF) and hit tower challenges as much as possible, then I can maybe get another complete level up again. I am now level 22... Professor, potions extraordinaire, and regularly take down level 6 challenges with ease. I would really like to find someone here in San Rafael who wants to team up and do some level 7 and 8 challenges with aome of these level 5 runes ive got. I cant do that all solo, though....
"with additional bonuses for playing with friends" this is what I'm most interested in. I wonder what they will be? Power boosts? Items as rewards for finishing fortress challenges? Maybe some gold? Too bad I won't be able to participate in this community day. Hope it turns out to be a good one. Have fun everyone!
It would be nice if there are especial offers of runestone in Diagon Alley Shop, afterall its gonna be a "Fortress Event", so it does not make much sense give us just free energy...
don’t scoff at the spell energy tho! Just sayin’!
ANY AZ (Scottsdale) people groups want to get together, let me know.
ALSO, will be going to INDY for the event there. Auror, will most likely be at least Lvl 30 then (currently about to reach Lvl 27)... I have the early access for Saturday (south) if anyone wants to group up. :)
First thought was "I wonder if I'm going to see anyone this time", since I have yet to see another player after more than 200km on foot.
I know there are some, as I saw Dark Detectors twice downtown, sometimes active greenhouses and once a tower. (No-one left near).
And then I had another look at the date. I'm going to be with probably quite a few other geeks (not sure many play), but in the middle of nowhere in the countryside.
Do not forget to announce/advertise the community day in-game. Not everyone is reading these forums or other social media.
Bump on what @AzurSV said! I've accidentally clicked through previous announcements. It would be nice to have a Heads Up section with its own special red dot to make sure everyone is aware.
Super excited about the emphasis on the Fortress! Bummed out I'll be at work that day so I'm hopeful this part will be a repeat. Fingers crossed I'll still get to add a few locals to my friends list and maybe knock out the SOS task!
I was actually the one who let my small team here in town know that there's going to be a new community day, since they aren't in this forum... I'm glad I found out so ahead of time, so everyone can plan accordingly, but it would have been super nice to get that notice from the game as well!
I did get a notice in app that community day was happening on August 10th. However, there have been 1 or 2 announcement pop-ups that didn’t make it to my game for whatever reason, so I know everyone may not have sent it.
Plus we live in that “OK” culture where we tend to click and accept things without reading them...especially since it pops up when you first log in and we are accustomed to pressing OK to the “Remember to Play Safe” message. So I agree it would be nice if there was a “News” section where you could go back and read the announcement if you didn’t read it thoroughly.
A couple of questions:
Hoping to see some people in Daventry UK. Taking part.
Remember in the UK it will be starting at 09:00.
@PsychoCPA I'm on the other side of town, in Peoria. I know there is a group planning to meet at Arizona Mills. They said they had around 100 players last month. I don't have a/c, so there's no way I'm driving all the way out there! LMAO
@Osprey1 here's my starting potions list:
6 Baruffio's Brain Elixer
4 Healing Potions
10 Invigoration Draught
10 Strong Invigoration Draught
10 Wit-Sharpening Potion
I'm burning through all my other potions in preparation. LOL
[[Peoria, AZ, USA]]
@SamuelHaight - Peoria, AZ?!?! I used to work at a vet clinic there (way back in like... 2000 or something). :-D I miss them guys.
Just a tip for ya moving forward, the map link option doesn't pin you unless it's a new thread in the Local Groups and Events forum. So your post here won't provide a pin. :)
Great discussion here! Here are some answers to the questions posed by @Osprey1 and @Lkiij:
Additional information about this weekend's Community Day will also be released in-app closer to the start of Community Day itself. Feel free to pose any additional questions you may have in this thread!
@HPWUMicah on discord @HPWUFazes mentioned that the bonus was for both Wizarding and Challenge XP, is that accurate? When you say the bonus contributes to Wizarding Level it sounds like that's only Wizarding XP, but I know a lot of players have been excited about the supposed bonus to Challenge XP too. If that's not the case though it'd be good to know.
@LewythePanda, thanks for surfacing this! I double checked and you're right that both Wizarding XP and Challenge XP will be boosted (my bad!).
Additionally, you'll get even higher XP bonuses from Wizarding Challenges if you play with more people and higher higher bonuses if you play with more Friends.
Sorry to nudge off topic a hair, but @LewythePanda there's an official Discord channel?
That’s what I want to know!!^
There are official representatives on the discord channel operated by Wizards Unite World, a separate organization.
@Osprey1 ah, ok. Thanks. I did find that and saw Fazes posts, but didn’t think that channel was official. That makes sense then.
What's the channel? I'd love to join.
Question: are sponsored fortresses only a thing in them US? I’ve never seen them in Brazil...
@Craeft try https:// discord.gg / jpmxyxp
Mind the spaces
I found the invite to the discord:
If you switch over to the "hpwu-official" channel, you'll see @HPWUFazes' message about today's community day.
@GlastonEverfang thank you for the share!
