Hi @GrannyPJ13, welcome to the Community! We're working to fix the "Unable to load link" message that some players are experiencing. Also, this is just a message that shouldn't affect anything in the game.
If you're having any other trouble or notice anything unusual, please search for similar discussions in the 'Known Issues' and 'Report a Bug' sections. If you don't find any, you may create a new discussion in the Report a Bug. Cheers!
@Keybounce I realised that too. Not sure if it was done purposefully or not, since all the previous dailies were generally unrelated. I don’t mind, since it makes things slightly easier in this situation, but it is a bit weird.
pick a tower from a line up of 10+ different towers with × number of levels that you can choose from home. The towers could be numbered so that you could call you friends to join you at a certain time.
The changes to make Tonic for Trace Detection easier to make and more efficient and helpful when used are great! The problem I am having is I ran out of Strong and Potent Exstimulo potions and can’t get the Unicorn and Abraxian Hairs I need to make them. I am finding Granian Hairs so I can make the basic Exstimulo potion but I normally never make them. I realize the Unicorn Hairs are only in portkeys, and rarely at that, but I haven’t found one in a portkey in a while. And with it taking longer to open portkeys, that makes it even harder to find them. Even Abraxian hairs seem to rarely show up on the map and when they do, there is only one. After using all of my Strongs and Potents in the last event, I used my last few ingredients to make a few more of each but those will be gone soon as well. Is it just me or is everyone having this issue?
@CeruleanGirl I can't speak for everyone but I know I am. Nothing but TTD ingredients and an occasional frog brain or healing potion stuff for me and even in portkeys, a lot of them are just points or useless ingredients
I love the new updates to help with social distancing. Any way an update will get rid of the SOS assignment of "complete 3 Wizarding challenges with 3 friends"?
I doubt it @RNHarm. The SOS assignments aren't necessary for daily game play and there is no time limit to complete them, so there is really no need to change them.
I have been making more XP daily from home than with the little I could play before traveling. About once a week I can park and do a bunch of Fortressing. Love not having the pressure to do it every day.
@CeruleanGirl you are definitely a source of pure magic!! Thank you so much for your continued wonderful gifts & postcards....
And that's said to everyone- i am so very grateful for the wonderful gifts as spell energy on ground at home is very limited but ive managed with the 1 exercise outside a day to collect enough to play at home.
The inns/ghouses have been very stingy still and only giving basic gifts if any at all- so apologies for the poor returns on gifts.
So thankful to the @HPWUTeam for the updates making the game playable from home- cos i definitely would be even more nuts than I already am without it!! 🤪
Also its so lovely to pop back on here & see familiar names chatting & supporting each other through this very testing time. Im in lockdown with my teenager & I really don't know if that's worse for me or her!! 😂
Seriously tho- love you guys & I'm looking forward to Saturday to see how our first ever play at home CD will be. It's awesome to have this community of fellow witches & wizards who love the game & we can chat about it like excited children! It brings a little magic back into the world ❤🧚♀️
Congrats @Imaginatio i haven’t seen rare 🍄🍄🍄 in a very very long time. And of course I haven’t been able to grow any for over a month now. Sooo my supply is running low....
@ClairabusGryff I wasn’t expecting to see it pop up either. I hadn’t seen one since being stuck at home. You’ve mentioned you’re running low, you never know, you might come across it too...
These were my thoughts over a few seconds when I saw it on the map, as it was at a close weird angle:
‘Is that the back of an Angel’s trumpet?’
‘Nah, that can’t be it, that would be green’
‘Could it be something new?’
‘But, that would be weird, and very unlikely.’
‘Might as well click it.’
‘Ooh wait,’
‘It’s a leaping toadstool’ 👀
*quickly clicks on map*
‘It’s A Leaping Toadstool!!’
*clicks on map again*
‘IT’S A LEAPING TOADSTOOL!!!’
*franticly continues to click on map*
‘Wait, I mentioned this on that forum thread a while ago, could that have caused the appearance?’🤔
‘That would be creepy...’
‘Weird forum magic...’ 😳
‘Nah, it’s probably just a coincidence!’🙃
‘Still creepy though...’ 👀
‘I need to go mention this on the thread...’
... Yeah, I got over excited 😂 Plus, I think too much sometimes 🤔😂
@Imaginatio oh my gosh you made me laugh so freaking hard.!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 On the handful of times I find them in the wild I have those exact thoughts too. Like literally I go down that exact list of thoughts. For realz!! Thank you for the laughs this morning. 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
THANK YOU! love this update to daily tasks! The developers responsiveness to adapt the game and tasks to keep us all engaged and able to play have been a wonder (of the Wizarding World)
Your hard work and dedication are appreciated. Chocolate wands, chocolate frogs, and sherbert lemons for everyone! 🍫🍬
With the advent of the knight bus, invigoration is the most valuable potion, and scurvygrass has become very hard to find.
i plant some every chance I get so that maybe someone will get to get some, but: nobody else does around here, and; the 7-hour growth time makes it impracticable to harvest from my own plantings. Unless someone has a couch greenhouse or a 7-hour workday or no job at all, 7 hours is exclusively “paying it forward”.
wormwood can be planted on one’s way out on the daily excursion and harvested on the way back, and toadstool can be planted on one day’s excursion and harvested next day. Everything else is obtainable only in random drops and rewards.
it would be really nice to have a means of modifying growth times. Maybe “slow-grow” spell, to make a grow take 24 hours, or what more people probably want, something to greatly decrease the time. Say - 200 SE for fast and 50 for slow.
Picking up spell energy off the ground isn’t as much fun as it is to eat at an inn! Now that the Knight Bus can take me to the Fortress at Hogwarts, I want more stops to choose from! Add the Leaky Cauldron and the Three Broomsticks too, please. Then, I could go there to eat at an Inn still for my spell energy. I like that moment when the plates dance around.
Greenhouses: I’ve nowhere to plant my seeds. This could be a stop on the Knightbus too, please. The Greenhouse at Hogwarts or Neville’s place.
Move the friend button off the Home screen! I keep hitting it by accident. People have been asking for this for a year!
@Piranah1 ooh the option of a stop off on the bus to the greenat Hogwarts is a fab idea!
I've been struggling to get to my local greenhouse in time too, so that would be brilliant. Even leaving the growing times as they are you could set an alarm and jump on the Knight bus wherever you are to go & harvest.
Along with the confirmation button now needed so we don't accidentally press an image & place it, that i added my request to @hpwulola - I'd like to add a voice to the request for a Hogwarts greenhouse stop on the bus too please?

Why is my app saying it can not open the link? It updated like it needed to and now I cant play the game at all. Very depressing.

Thanks so much to HPWU team for the changes. Really appreciate being able to finish the dailies again. 🎉
Dailies: "use one potion" and "use one TTD" have a bit of an overlap.
@Keybounce I realised that too. Not sure if it was done purposefully or not, since all the previous dailies were generally unrelated. I don’t mind, since it makes things slightly easier in this situation, but it is a bit weird.

So I noticed a few things today including a darker LOH symbol and the trace colour shift...
Looking snazzy!
I just got some wild leaping toadstools... 👀 🍄😳👀
A slight delay in communication with the forum Magic working, but I guess that’s expected with such a rare map ingredient 🤷♀️👀🍄😂

@ClairabusGryff lol, I’m glad it made you laugh.😊
Are we back to normal play now? It's 2 May here and gifts have reverted back to 10.
The gifts have gone back to 20 now. Thank you.
5/4/20 Updates
We have made temporary updates to the Daily Tasks
@hpwulola Thank you! The update is great. Particularly the SE increase and changing the TTD task back to 1 wizarding challenge. 😊
@hpwulola and @HPWUTeam
THANK YOU! love this update to daily tasks! The developers responsiveness to adapt the game and tasks to keep us all engaged and able to play have been a wonder (of the Wizarding World)
Your hard work and dedication are appreciated. Chocolate wands, chocolate frogs, and sherbert lemons for everyone! 🍫🍬
@Owlx yay!!! Chuck us some of those goodies hon!! Think we should have those & a HP movie night tonight ready for CD tomorrow 😊

@ni0h if you don't have invigoration, you just wait focus or someone transfer focus so you can use 7 focus to teammate.
Wormwood's now slight increased drop chance to get one or you can get in portkeys.
@Piranah1 ooh the option of a stop off on the bus to the greenat Hogwarts is a fab idea!
I've been struggling to get to my local greenhouse in time too, so that would be brilliant. Even leaving the growing times as they are you could set an alarm and jump on the Knight bus wherever you are to go & harvest.

Both great ideas & much needed I think 😊
