@HPWUTeam I am genuinely curious why you include the line about being friendly to people to play from anywhere. Is it a legal requirement?
I can’t find anything in an event with tasks gated by walk 4 portkeys in a world without adventure sync to be play at home friendly. This isn’t the first time either with tasks like go to greenhouses, collect items, etc. Let alone people who play from dead zones, these aren’t friendly even to people who play in high spawn cities with lockdowns or stay at home requirements.
tbh play from home has been an utter joke for over a year now...
Just testing, please pardon me, @hpwulola Lola. Sigyn has been unable to post here for a week. I'm trying to see if that is everyone or something with her account/access?
@cwolfpack3 Thanks for the test! I am looking into the forum issues.
@cwolfpack3 , @hpwulola lot of other people complaining about being unable to login to the forum as well. There are posts on the WUW discord.
Regarding Task 2 on Task List 2, 'Collect 4 Platform 9 3/4 signs from Portkeys,' we realize this is difficult with the current AS issues. We are unable to swap out the task but we have reduced that task requirement to 1.
Thanks, AS or not, this 4-part task list looked too onerous for a 4-day event on weekdays. It is much more reasonable with just one portkey.
wow, is this about practicing all spells?
Hello forum, my old friend
I've come to chat with you again
But a grey button stops my talking...
Left me mute while I was preaching!
And the fixes that was planted on this phone
Still remains- all have failed
Within this text of silence.... 😔
OMG!! IT WORKED!!
@hpwulola I think I'm fixed!! Thank youu!!!!!
The game used to be fun - task list looks tedious and time-consuming. Additionally, event is during the work week.
@hpwulola if you insist on having a ridiculous quantity of tasks on a weekday event - make it one page instead of 4, or let all 4 pages be completed simultaneously. That way you don’t have to complete previous pages to have your efforts count. This would help to alleviate the lack of spawn issues that have occurred during every event for some players. It would also make the large quantity of tasks fit better in the short time period for working players . After having to fully complete pages 1-3 will there be time (and appropriate spawns) to find 24 specific students for page 4
More and more of my friends are quitting the game .
Agree 100%.
The red flags for me are the Forest and Dark Chamber requirements. Given the recent problems with getting kicked out of battles, this looks like another exercise in futility.
@Bubbabubbette I don’t think they listen to us any longer. Many players have complained about the great cast requirements, especially when they have physical limitations that prevent them. Such tasks continue though @hpwulola has conveyed the feedback to the team. It’s the same with the launch of 1920 during weekday event. This one is again a RSB awarding event during weekdays! 🤷♀️
They have their plans and release it based on what someone decided a few years ago. When we complain a lot, they reduce the number of XP/portkey/casts, but don’t change the way things are done.
Fix adventure sync¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have event after event so if i can't do one, i can do next. And not everyone have free weekends, so I'm happy with this.
RSBs are a limiting factor for many and missing an event means you miss that out.
Hi ! Here is the updated Infographic. Task 2 on Page 2 has been edited.
The portkeys would be way more appealing if I could get the game to register any mileage anymore. My portkeys are full and not registering distance at all, so I won't be able to make room.
@Bubbabubbette and @Duckbeak206 I kinda disagree. I work on weekends - as do many people, and love having a weekday event. On the days I do work during an event, I walk around and play during my breaks. It's not that hard. I have seen complaints on here from people who work weekends about weekend only events. The @HPWUTeam can't please everybody all the time. And if we're not being challenged with great casts or dark chambers, then I'm bored. My biggest complaint about this game is that there are too many people on it who want it easy rather than challenging. Unless there's a specific event requirement, I can rarely find a fivesome who will play Dark V challenges. It's very disheartening, because that team play is what makes it fun.
@VoiceMaster It's one thing to be challenged, but for me I also want a reasonable chance of eventually succeeding. I don't remember which event it was, but I ultimately gave up on completing it because one task was impossible for me. I do recall a lot of players putting in a request to have the task marked as complete; I didn't take that step.
A challenge is not fun if you don't have a prayer of succeeding.
The game keeps randomly crashing on me. I am attempting to use a TTD and I am stuck in an infinite restart, game crash loop. I cannot click on any foundables without the game crashing, as well as icons. Can you people please get your **** together and do some freakin beta testing before you release these awful events?
Today all portkeys except for old event ones give a 9 3/4 platform sign. I got 4 from opening portmanteaus that I had walked off last week.
Are there special blue port keys for this event? 75 minutes in and ive only seen normal port keys on the map. Thanks!
@NoPostSundays One correction, all Portkeys on the Map will reward the Platform 9 ¾ Sign. There are no Blue Portkeys in this event.
@hpwulola and @Rumpelstilzkin thank you very much for the portkey information. I went for a walk this morning and could not find any special portkey.
@HPWULOLA That was confusing, thanks for the clarification!
Also the 20 great Expecto Patronum casts in the third set of tasks have been replaced with 2 masterful casts of any kind. For me, that makes the task easier because I’m pretty good with Alohomora. It might not work to everybody’s advantage.
Do the port keys have to be opened during the event, or will they continue to reward sign fragments if they are picked up during the event but opened after the event has ended? Thanks!
