Hi Everyone.
Here is the Infographics for the September 2021- 1920s Wizarding World Convergence :
Do these tie in to the overall storyline, or just a separate thing?
Forgot to attach... doh... (Sigyn is not a smart witch today 🤦♀️)
Pfff ...
What an idea to do another 36 hour event ...
Here in Europe, we're only going to have Wednesday 15th to play.
12h at night, 12h to play, 12h at night again.
While in other countries, they will only have 12 hours of night ...
Try to only schedule multiple events of 24 hours. (24h, 48h, 72h...) Like this, everyone will be able to play it according to their available hours.
TAHALNYOU: +1
@hpwulola a 60 hour event again, really? Events should be 24-48-72 etc hours or based on local time. All this talk about enabling players all around the world to play clearly means nothing.
Not good in Europe 🙄
There's no special assignment for this event?
Will there be tasks with this event this time around? I think I remember reading something that said that not every 1920s event will have tasks to do. Which is fine with me. It is nice to see giving a few silver keys for it.
@hpwulola any word on if adventure sync will get sorted for this event? It is already frustrating enough that I have to miss out on extra coin from daily from not being able to complete the daily walk each day as I cant walk much or that far to begin with, so AS was great for counting my steps around the house thru the day to get the daily. But for a portkey focused event it is just wrong to continue to do this special event while this isnt working. Even more so that it has been like a month now since it was broken.
A portkey event in the middle of a pandemic, while Adventure Sync isn’t working properly? ARE YOU SRE ABOUT THAT?!?!?!
So, we have a world wide global pandemic, no AS for something like 50% of the playership (android users), content that DEMANDS walking w/o AS and now you basically give out an event solely exclusive on portks and make it so that only west and central USA/americas timezones get a full 3 days whereas east coast usa, and every other timezone get 2.5 days and the rest is midnight+ hrs.
nia/wb cant be relied on to provide a steady stream of new content, you (guys) most certainly cant be relied on to fix bugs, even the game crashing ones for months and months, can't be relied on to release non-severely buggy updates, update after update. But you most outstandingly can be relied to reach ever lower new lows on customer support and experience. Bravo!
Hi quick question. Perhaps this will help to get on the road to fixing adventure sync. Between Niantic and WB, which dev team has ownership of fixing AS? Other Niantic games seem to have it worked out. So is the problem that AS for HPWU lies in the hands of WB?
@hpwulola @HPWUblue
With yet a 2nd 1920's portkey driven event do either @hpwulola or @HPWUblue have any word on a real working fix for Adventure Sync?
@Drakonite at least Nia never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity
Has anyone seen XPectoGo’s post about this? I’ve learned that I can’t post a photo here without needing to wait a day for it to show up (hopefully the same is not true for links? ), so here’s the Instagram link, for anyone who’s interested:

Are the portkeys a certain color or glow?
@RaptorMonitor if its like last time, the 1920's portkeys will be glowing teal, all of them - there is no differentiation between pages/foundables like the dragon eggs (sadly).

Could you at least update the dates and times of this event IN GAME? The page still has the August dates and times.
You've changes the dates and times, and not all players check the forums.
@hpwulola is the event 48 hours or 60 hours? Both the special events page and the free gift countdown say it's only 2 days but that doesn't jive with what you've said on here.
@hpwulola the assignment tab is all white and when I press it, I get a black screen that I can not get back out of until I force closed the game. Is HPWU uploading the special assignment for this event? If not, may we access our daily assignment?
Thank you very much for all your help 😊
I am showing the event on the main page counting down but it still says 1 day and 23 hours so I can’t see the assignment! I even got the pop up about the event when I started my game. Anyone else have this issue?
@hpwulola same here: the assignment tab is all white and when I press it, I get a black screen. Can not access daily tasks.
Edited - everything ok after this message was posted.
Hey everyone! The event will end on 16th September at 11 p.m. PT as per the announcements. The event duration displayed in-app will be corrected.
@Djea This event does not have any Special Assignments. If you're experiencing trouble opening the Tasks menu, please try downloading all assets from the in-app settings and try again. Thank you!
“If you're experiencing trouble opening the Tasks menu, please try downloading all assets from the in-app settings and try again”
is this the only solution? To down load all assets will take me an hour and use a huge amount of storage on my phone. If more than one of us are experiencing the icon for tasks being white and the showing the black screen of death if selected, surely it is a game issue?
@Wendorini I’m not seeing “the screen of death” that you’re seeing. Are you talking about your main tasks menu to complete your regular daily assignments? Because there are no special assignments/tasks for this event.
Echoing others. The tasks tab is all white. If I click on it (such as to access daily tasks), I get stuck on a black screen. Therefore I am unable to collect my daily rewards such as spell energy.
I tried downloading assets (which should NOT be the solution; this is a core functionality and should not require additional 100+MB download) but it stalls at the last file. Cancelling and attempting again
@Drakonite that video was super helpful and informative, thank you! Especially as someone with an iPhone, trying to wrap my head around the AdventureSync issue has been murky. I’ve understood why people are frustrated but haven’t had much of the backstory. This really broke things down.
I'm glad to see there's no task list.
Seems the team least understood what a terrible idea it was to have tasks forcing people to open portkeys to find this and this and this fragments with adventure sync broken and various regions in lockdown.
What they really should have done was change the message this time around, not even call it an event, but just highlight it as an opportunity to pick up 1920s portkeys at your leisure for those who can walk and exercise... or just take it easy for those who cannot... and hey, here's 2 free keys for use now or in the future!
No need to grab pitchforks over something that's 100% optional. Just pick up the keys and take the day off.
Are you aware that some people are color blind? The difference between brilliant and regular portkeys is enough contrast. But the dark blue/gray difference is tough, especially while out walking in the sun.
Could you possibly make the 1920s portkeys red, green or yellow?
