Or what about how when you return a trace sometimes you get a DD, key, piece of gold, or a potion why not add for every five traces you return you get a gift?
Love it @ClairabusGryff! Any of these things, doesn’t matter which. But the silence so far is deafening... Again the boosts so far are nice and appreciated, don’t get me wrong. But daily tasks and gifts seem to have been overlooked.
@Bormacska i am so very grateful for the SE on the ground since I can’t get much from Inns & GH and the increased TTD which is simply AMAZING. But it seems like the team didn’t think everything through. For instance we can open 20 gifts now but a large portion of the players ARENT able to get out to collect said gifts.
Also in reference to the daily tasks we aren’t able to accomplish two of them so we aren’t able to get out 10 gold coins a day. So it is something I do hope they address soon.
With all of that being said I am very appreciative that the HPWU team moved so quickly and made those changes.
Due to the Circus Special Event, we need a lot of Portkeys opened. Since the recent updates, none of my steps are properly counting. According to my Fitness apps, I should have walked 9.25km....App has not even opened a 3km Portkey yet, I am at 1.3/3km. That is kind of ridiculous, especially because I bought keys to meet the final challenge. What can be done about this? Am I SOL?
@MrSciGuy - i popped a 2nd TTD last night near midnight, and a 3rd TTD today at dawn. the 2nd TTD’s results were worse than the 1st ... no high value targets whatsoever. at least with the 3rd TTD, a doxy immediately popped into view. then 27 minutes of mundane stuff, and a final two minutes with a fawkes (orange plume) and a fluffy (red plume) who were nice to see even if their images are already placed on pages not close to prestiging yet. overall for the three TTDs i used since the boost announcement ... pretty underwhelming.
When I use the TTDs my traces are skipping the rewards screen and then I'm not getting credit for the catch. Anyone else having this problem? I've wasted so much magic and potions before I realized! Very frustrating.
I noticed this increase actually with the last update. Been meaning to say something, but keep forgetting. I haven't checked my registry when it does happen to see if it is still registering the catch or not.
@Bormacska and @DHightop i have noticed this bug has amped up since the 2.10 update and it has to be related to the inn/GH issue as HPWU wants to blame it on internet connectivity but prior to 2.10 I didn’t have the issue. SOMETHING IS BROKEN PLEASE FIX IT. I have asked and asked and they want video of it? What does that have to do with it being 32 days now with this bug and still no fix? Sorry I am a little passionate and very very unhappy about it!!
I didnt finish the event due to the port keys. There is only so many laps I can do in my house. If event 2 is going to happen can we no have portketys attached. 1st time eva I didnt finish an event.
-To help with indoor gameplay, Spell Energy Gifts (collected after Tuesday, 3/17 at 3pm PDT) will now include increased amounts of Spell Energy!
-We are still working on the 1/2 Distance Portkey update. We are going to hold this until we are able to release it without issues. The current eta is later this month, we will keep you updated. Thank you for understanding!
Am a bit worried about part 2 if it goes ahead on schedule. I haven't missed any events so far and am a completist so will be tempted to go out even if I know it's a bad idea.
I suspect I'll have to be sensible and just do the parts I can do around say, collecting my son's meds. But I'm unlikely to be able to finish it and that is going to bother me!
Maybe we could have special foundable covid-19. Under oddities traces and feature like medium fortress foe. So it will be not easy to defeat. And give it a debuff ability to make more interesting.
Reward its just like fortress: some small xp challenge, rare foundables fragment or event walk distance.
Just a thought to project out hatred to this isolation.

If you are expecting gifts to be a reliable source of things (spell energy, rune stones, special potion ingredients), then you need some way to make sure that they are available.
Right now, there are two problems with this.
A: some players do not have in-game friends.
B: as more players become unable to visit inns, green houses, and fortresses, the supply of gifts will go down.
Both of these have the same visible in-game effect: less than 20 gifts to open in a given day.
Suggestion: if a person has less than 20 gifts available when they login, then in addition to the daily login bonus, the ministry sends them enough gifts to bring them up to 20, up to a maximum of 15 ministry gifts.
This still gives an incentive to have in-game friends, as it will bring you up to 20 gifts a day, while still ensuring a minimum of 15. And, if the ministry gifts are almost always basic gifts, then it really gives an incentive to make friends without making the game unplayable if you don't have friends.
@hpwulola Thank you! I’m not finding much spell energy on the ground so I’ve been relying on the wonderful generosity of my friends sending gifts. The game revisions during this time are much appreciated. 💛
@Nanapatnh I am so sorry! I had no idea you preferred spell energy gifts. I will make sure I give spell energy each day. You are always so generous with your gifts and I really appreciate it. Thank you!
@Magpie31 No need to be sorry. I truly appreciate ALL gifts! Before the Coronavirus I especially enjoyed the variety of postcards, but these days it’s difficult to get out so I have to rely on others so I can continue playing. 💛
I'm hoping there will be indoor based events implemented in the near future, to keep people interested while this is going on. I like the spell energy on the map but there's not been a whole lot spawning for me today or yesterday. Love the gifts having increased SE but I'm a bit bored with the same foundables popping up on the map 20 times even with tonics. I finally got all my formidable pixies in that pesky SOS assignment I've been stuck on for months but the next one involves collecting werewolf hair and those haven't been spawning much recently and especially the last of them which is going to, I think, inns ten times
They should let you regift gifts that you don't need. Then people who can find plenty of spell energy on the ground can regift any energy gifts they get to someone else that might need it more.
The increased ingredients for TTD are cool but I have been having a major problem getting ingredients for Healing Potions. I did a solo Fortress battle in the highest chamber and used up a lot of Healing Potions and would like to replenish them. I finally grew a bunch of Wormwood because that was what I ran out of first but now I have been unable to find Dittany or Bubotuber Pus. A little bit more balance would be nice. Thanks!

For the gift problem maybe a reocurring task that gives a random gift. Maybe one gift for every 10 family confondables.
Or what about how when you return a trace sometimes you get a DD, key, piece of gold, or a potion why not add for every five traces you return you get a gift?

They haven't been registering for me when it happens.

Awesome, thanks @hpwulola! Any word on changes to daily tasks or collecting gifts to send?

To be honest, @Keybounce I am finding it surprising that people need the gifts. I am struggling to empty my tank, given all the energy on the ground.

Where you play is still far too important / spawns vary too much by location.
Energy spawns have improved at my house to the point that I can now keep up at home without having to go out. But that was new as of yesterday.
confined to home, time flies faster with harry potter. thank you niantic for the new gameplay

Yeah me too. After second gameplay update or brilliant circus part 1 ended (dunno which one) Spell Energy in map seems significantly reduced.
They should let you regift gifts that you don't need. Then people who can find plenty of spell energy on the ground can regift any energy gifts they get to someone else that might need it more.
Hi
Would it be possible to increase the radius of
Inns, greenhouses and fortress.
With the current quarantine I will not be able to complete daily task or the upcoming event.
To protect the community is more important than a game.
The increased ingredients for TTD are cool but I have been having a major problem getting ingredients for Healing Potions. I did a solo Fortress battle in the highest chamber and used up a lot of Healing Potions and would like to replenish them. I finally grew a bunch of Wormwood because that was what I ran out of first but now I have been unable to find Dittany or Bubotuber Pus. A little bit more balance would be nice. Thanks!
Got my first Young Peter Pettigrew. How funny to see that rat in a whirlwind!
Before I saw him, I thought the 4 silhouettes looked more like the hobbits from the Fellowship from LOTR.
