Energy rewards when tapping Wrackspurts.
Seriously? I thought Energy rewards should have been an addition to the items received when we collect all five Wrackspurts. It is not worth waking 2K then get one energy from a Wrackspurt.
@HPWULola thanks for new features but I've some questions:
- New portkey rewards replaces old list or is in addition? I hope in addition because some foundables in old chart such as portrait of Dumbledore, The Veil, Pensieve, Pickett and Swooping Evil are so rare! If new list replaces completely old, hope you can increase spawn rate of those traces.
- Good idea dragon eggs but I'd like dragons too!😅 Without dragons we can't prestige any pages. Have you planned something?
Thanks
Cool. 😊
energy from Wrackspurt O.O"
.... oh please revert.
Any bug reported so far?
🤔
Opened a 10k Portkey with a Buruffio and 1 of the wrackspurts gave me 1 energy.....just 1 😡, on a 10k!! Not impressed, and I gained a dragon egg which is absolutely pointless unless they release all dragons again 🤔
I opened a portkey last night and got the spell energy as three of the five rewards. I don't really need spell energy, but I guess it was better than getting common ingredients. It seems overall that portkeys just don't give you as good stuff as they did when the game was new. Does anyone else feel that way?
Hi Community,
As everyone else, I was so eager with the new release update, and update it Automatically. However, the update seems unstable and cause me (most of the time) can't even start the turn on the game. For a record, it started with those sequence logo of logo (usual routine), but hang up there.. my screen goes dark n hang... I'm running on latest Android 10, with Samsung Galaxy Note 10.
There are sometimes, I managed to get it.. however, whenever I access task or what ever below button, the screen back to black n hang.. nothing happened. It is very frustrating for me.. as I can't complete my daily assignment n tasks.. even worse, the update release on last day of Brilliant Events..
#HPWULOLA How do you link adventure sync? I tried via settings, nothing there, tried via in game settings, o thing there. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
Update has been working fine for me so far thank goodness.
Portkeys is cool seeing new icons etc...and i defo prefer energy to a common ingredient that I always seemed to get! Lol. I think ive got used to the fact that the portkey rewards aren't as good as they used to be @CeruleanGirl - that definitely seems true.
It used to be so exciting when u could get a few thousand xp if lucky, or a chunk of rare ingredients. So I've just stopped focusing on them I suppose as a way of earning any big rewards & i look to the events for that. I used to try and have at least 3 per day to open with baruffio going, but now it might be 3 per week, i just let them open whenever & don't push myself to do the kms.
Hopefully when adventure synch is in place il be opening more again & just get used to them being a little extra on the daily rewards just gotta keep telling myself 'marathon, not a sprint...marathon, not a sprint...' 😂
@OmaLaurie may be a stupid question, but have you downloaded assets today? I didn't see anything until I downloaded today (after downloading assets yesterday for the update).
Port keys are not showing new icons
@Zephyflux they only show new icons when the distance have been completed and waiting to collect
@Zephyflux I also thought that portkeys on the map would show with the different symbols but realize now that it is in our queue that they show up differently. Shucks! I would love to be able to select myself one 10km a week to open as I seem to mainly get 2 or 5’s. Oh well. At least when we open them we know what they are now.
So I got adventure synch enabled on my iPhone but can’t on my iPad. Any help is appreciate. I did enable the device settings and also 8nstalled goggle fits. But when I try and toggle the track distance and location when app is not open the app doesn’t let me.
I am not a fan of getting spell energy in portkeys. I can get spell energy pretty easily, it's things like unicorn tails that are only in portkeys that are hard to come by. Please just keep giving us potion ingredients instead.
@Stitcher07 It appears to be a known issue. See here. I posted the update I saw in Discord on this thread:
https://community.harrypotterwizardsunite.com/en/discussion/4940/known-issues-affecting-update-2-9-0#latest
Anyone else experiencing a wireless network issue?
Hi,
First, thanks for the updates. I appreciate your work. But have some notes.
Finally I'd like to say thanks for a few enchantements I noticed (even if they are in the game for a while)
With regards.
That sucks, tbh it should not be hard to make that possible to do. Hopefully they can
Just want to share how much it sucked yesterday to open a 10k portkey on baruffio & get 3 out the 5 were spell energy 🤦🏼♀️
I'm not sure I'm a fan! I know tho some peolle really need SE & just cos I'm always at full means I shouldn't be complaining. But- I'm gonna anyway cos look.....
THERE WAS AN EMPTY PIC FRAME HERE IN RED WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK IN A TRIANGLE
Lolz- it won't let me complain!!! Instant karma right there! 😂
Note to self- stop winging just cos your 10k was 11 SE, 4 dragonclaw & 312xp! Tsch! Be grateful for anything you get & quit your moanin!!! 😂
I am also not a fan of spell energy in portkeys. Surely now that we have energy in inns, grenhouses AND as gifts, there is no need to put it in portkeys, especially not 10k ones. Given how hard it is for some of us to walk the blasted things off, SE is disappointing. If we really need to increase SE, then have it appear on the map.
I completely agree. At most, if they’re going to include spell energy in portkeys, only put it in the 2km ones. The 5 and 10 k’s should be higher xp and more rare ingredients!
Agreed! The 5km and 10km portkeys are supposed to have better rewards. SE is NOT a better reward. 🤷🏻♀️
So... I opened a portkey today and received 15 spell energy, some dittany and a few xp. I was not happy.
I'm not going to say I'll stop playing - I have invested too much time and energy for that. But if these are the rewards now, then I will stick to event porkeys only, unless I happen to have nothing on the go. I won't actively seek them out for spell energy and common ingredients.
And that will have a knock on effect because no portkeys means no rare ingredients which means no potions which means less high level fortress battles.
Honestly, the spell energy was a bad idea and I have seen people complaining on reddit as well as here. I really hope @HPWULola and the team see this feedback and make adjustments. They've been really receptive to feedback so far.
Please let us progress in our education. I am playing every single day, but with no experiential progress. The fact that professors need more books should not impede Aurors. There will always be players "behind". Those that started months after the game's beginning, those that play rarely, or those that live in a rural site, or those that play a solo game.
More powerful aurors will help their professor or magizoologist teammates earn their books.
Release more lesson plans, please.
So it seems to me that the spell energy is not very popular in the portkeys. And I naively thought spell energy was replacing the COMMON POTION INGREDIENTS that we got in portkeys. But nope. Today I opened a 2km one and got 10SE, 2 dittany, and some family XP. If I could request the HPWU team to kindly PLEASE remove from all portkeys any ingredients that we can find on the map from all portkeys. This is my personal wish. I would rather receive 10 SE then dittany or bubotuber any day of the week.
have to say, the new set of portkey foundables (as compared to old set available before 2.9.0 update) is really terrible. 👎🏻
I present to you the worst portkey rewards ever:
Agreed @MrSciGuy thats pure rubbish!!
