Yes I'm posting this intentionally in the Knight bus area.
@HPWUblue or @hpwulola if you think is should be elsewhere you can relocate it.
As it was pointed out & forgive me I can't remember by whom- that SOS assignments are meant to be an in game self tutorial for game features or strategies.
And why this is in the Knight bus is can we please have A LOT and I do mean LOTS of SOS assignments geared to best or strategic (if you will) use of our strategic spells.
@HPWUTeam I humbly submit my parchment for your concideration
Cast a team spell
- Auror its passing focus to professors or Magi
- Professor it's casting proficiency or shields
- Magi it's casting bravory
And players should have to do this in a team of 3 or more some 20 to 30 time - Exstimulo potions and Invigorations Draughts -2 of each potion strength.
Fight a Foe with a combination of 2 more more hexs cast
- Dextoriation hex
- Weaken hex
- Confusion Hex
- Bat bogey hex
Again players would need to complete this in a team of 3 or more and 20 to 30 time-Exstimulo potions and Invigorations Draughts -2 of each potion strength BBE, 1 Red spell books
Fight a Foe with all 3 defensive spells active
- Proficiency for the Team
- Shield charm
- Bravery
Yep you guessed it complete with a team of 3 or more 20 to 30 times rewards - Exstimulo potions and Invigorations Draughts -2 of each potion strength BBE, 1 Red spell book
Using Potions yep same team of 3 or more lots of battles
- use X number Invigoration Draught
- use X number of Strong Invigoration Draught
- use X number of Exstimulo potions, regular, strong and Potent.
Yes invigorations potions! They are critical to Professors. invigoration draught used by Aurors and Magi help to get focus faster for the team and is useful to power thru Dark Chambers quickly.
( I won't go on that tangent now you can @Owlx me if you have questions about it. )
Rewards lots of potions! See the theme get potions as rewards learn how to use potions in fortress, get potion restocked.
When all these assignments are complete more players should be better prepared to battle in a group fortress and should would ok in a situation were we can't communicate with teammates.
Finally reward for complete the Stronger United team challenge SOS assignments MASSIVE XP, 100 Galleons and 10 red books and 10 green books.
Make players want to complete all in order to make us stronger. Plus we can use the new books for those new lessons...coming soon....
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration of my proposal,
Owlx

Excellent Idea. I'm not so certain about the usage of potions due to the scarcity of certain ingredients but that isn't going to remain the case forever...
@Lucoire thank you!
My suggestion awards lots of potions at each step. Players then use those potions to complete the last set of the
Stronger United team challenge SOS assignments
@Owlx That should work perfectly. Good Idea.
I thought of a new Stronger United team challenge SOS assignment
Know your foes
defeat X number of each of your professions prefered foes award invigoration drafts regular & strong but cause we can all use more battle focus!
This idea has been suggested by many people in many different forums. It would certainly solve a lot of Knight Bus problems. Any idea of whether or not the dev team is working to implement it?
Invigoration potions are not critical, at least not for people who are maxed or close to maxed in their professions. I have always done group fortressing (since the beginning, before the KB) with teammates who choose to not use *any* potions unless absolutely necessary. We have never lost a battle and rarely used any potions. Invigoration potions do make the early part of the battle go more smoothly, but I prefer to brew potent extimulos for use in returning foundables and TTDs. The only potions I use in fortressing are healing potions, and that's usually when I need to make room in my potion vault.
@Katavento In theory, I agree with you. In reality, try going into a battle as a magizoologist with two aurors who don't do anything with their focus, and one auror who sends it to the prof who only det hexes stuff. No proficiency, no shields. The three aurors are constantly dying, meaning they need reviving, so my focus is almost constantly below 5. That means I lose beast (40 power!).
So... In a good team where everyone understands their skill set, no potions are needed. When I battle with my friends, we get through with nothing, maybe an exstimulo of some sort on a really bad day. But with randoms on that knight bus, you want every potion in your vault!
Any idea of whether or not the dev team is working to implement it?
@Katavento No. And it is unlikely that we're ever going to be granted insight into the Development Roadmap.
@Magpie31 I joined a discord server that has a number of voice channels which hold up to 5 people (or a complete fortress battle party). We can then communicate by voice while fortressing on the Knight Bus. If anyone uses potions during the battle, it's their choice. It's almost never necessary.
No thanks, not for higher level Wizards.
would be great for lower level wizards though!
@Katavento I am part of a similar discord group, but not everybody is!
I think this is a good idea! Think it could keep the game interesting having the sos task force quests constantly updated. Specific things like you mentioned to help people learn but also random things they have had in the past such as killing certain number of elite something. Or collecting 10 troll bogies. Just random things like that should be easy to keep updating and keep us engaged I feel :)
