@Nhix I dnt spend money on ingame items bcos of all the glitches and bugs. I actually play on my hubby's account but we really wouldn't mind spending if we were enjoying the game better. EDMS 4 example are ridiculously priced and the event can barely b done.
@AltarielValice sori you're getting flagged tho gurl. Do appreciate ur kindness, honesty and hardwork btw! Can you mayb submit a bug list or something with ur survey reports 2 show what the playerbase prioritizes and want fixed? Hope the @HPWUTeam can remove those flags on ur posts tho. That's just being sour.
I can try. But the survey can only be released when the event is live. Also not offended by the inappropriate flagging. 😊
A good idea could also be, what do we as a playerbase value the most in HPWU and what can be done based on the things we love to make it worth while? I would personally let the players list what they loved about the last 2 years; their favorite foundables, parts of events, people they enjoy playing with, places they like to visit.. and find a way to incorporate all they love into something special.
You really surprise everyone with that event guys ...nobody expect such a bad event for a SECOND ANNIVERSARY of the game.
Playing for 3 months and i feel like i can stop now because its all the same stuff over and over again and even in a big moment you use the same standard event.
If you think that you bring people back for the game or keep the players that you still have with those events , you are wrong.
You still have 3 days to fix the big event of the game so far ...just do it.
i will give you some tips for free :
50% chance to get a RSB on D5
Double XP for all actions in the game
24 BE pages in the the game ? 2 days in the anniversary event, 1h per/ BE foundables ? 12 per/ day ? just like we have in pokemon go fest last year with habitats
Double runestone drop from family rank up
Guaranteed fragment in chambers from ruins 1 to d4 ONLY with a runestone lvl 5
Master notes reduce the brew time by 50%
Trace charms as reward of the quest
And all this without putting the devs working in the new stuff , just adjust values in the code. If you wanna give them some work to do :
New potion
New ingridients
New page
New spell
You welcome.
PS : the message that people past over and over again ? they are right , so dont delete them, just handle the truth
This sounds even more boring than recent repetitive community days. At least for that we have reduced TFTD brewing and special event portkeys. Seems like there was absolutely no effort put into designing an event celebrating the milestone of a second anniversary. Same rewards that we get from run of the mill events? BORING and not worth much effort.
This is…. Too awful for words but I am going to try. There are no special rewards, no ability to participate in brilliant events you might have missed (the whole looking back part seemed to hint at that). It’s just a rinse and repeat of any other monthly event. It’s not even as good as a community day which at least has reduced brew time. It’s actually WORSE than the monthly events. Celebrations are supposed to be special and fun. This is neither.
Implement rewards that highlight main activities in the game, like the challenges. Give a 50% drop on dark chambers to give a RSB. Make it something that NEVER happens in any other event, make it special and rewarding. Don’t phone it in and pretend like it’s great.
All the red areas of both cities lost ALL POIs December 17th.
This is a summary of the map @cosk62 posted a link for.
Which @HPWUTeam member can ALL players in these affected areas post a request to have the greenhouse task BE marked done so they can complete the event?
Being put together by an AI? ... Like this is someone trying to train an AI as to what makes people happy or sad?
If you add in a "greater than" and "less than" symbol being swapped somewhere, so that the satisfaction levels are going down instead of up, I think you've got it.
We hear your feedback and appreciate it. We will be adding an additional Emergency Foundable boost to this weekend’s Anniversary Event. Expect to see extra red flares on the Map as you tackle our event tasks and uncover exciting SOS Task Force updates from Harry, Hermione and Constance.
We know there is a lot of curiosity about upcoming features. We are excited to share that the 1920’s Wizarding World Convergence will be launching in July. Stay tuned for more details!
@AltarielValice ❤Thanks for the support luv! Our local discord group is huge! 350+
The map is a group crowd sourced map started by @19michaelaap. We've attracted international players to help us try to problem solve 😉 @Drakonite and @cosk62! Multiple bug posts. In the beginning we posted on the big discord HPWU groups. We've DMed,thru discord, forum moderators. We're frustrated. Many good players have moved on because they can't get enough SE. Extravagant SE gifts only go so far. 🤷♀️
Maybe revisit "Potters Calamity"? That would be amazing!!! Also, where are the Goblets of Fire? I don't recall them EVER being in an event where they are boosted. I love this game, but it is getting a bit stale. Please make it fun again!
A boost in red flares is definitely something. I hope we'll be able to farm for Manuals, since we lost out on so many for the new page (even with a complimentary gift, I bet a lot of us missed many more Manuals than we'll get - realistically speaking)
Thank you for listening to the community 💛 @hpwulola Will traces reveal the registry Emergency or those that spawn Red Flares such as the Goblet of Fire? Speaking for everyone I hope it’s both. 😊
I’ll share here an idea I put on Discord (maybe it could be used in future?).
I’d like to see an event that has actual consequences on the storyline. We knew that we would rescue Ron, and return his memories. We knew that the Muggle reporter who saw magic would be dealt with…but what if he wasn’t? What if player action (or inaction) during an event affected the next part of the story?
Let’s say there’s a Brilliant Breakout event. In this, all previous Brilliant Event Foundables return (will PkmnTrainerJ ever shut up about BE Foundables coming back? No. No they won’t.).
Things are crazy in the story as there’s all these in plain view of Muggles and the task force members have to account for all of them. As an arbitrary number, let’s say 1 million BE Foundables need to be returned over 5 days. Boosted stuff, extra XP and rewards for Prestiging pages. Fun times by all.
So if players succeed, this unlocks a new permanent registry page and new Foundables that help to further the mystery of the story, and we get a Thunderbird to Obliviate the Muggles with a little rain. Simple.
If on the other hand, players fail, there’s a small group of Muggles that the Obliviate rain misses. Other Muggles think they’re nuts and don’t believe them about purple glowing beasts. One recalls seeing a kid with glasses many times during this weird event. Another pipes up that they looked familiar to this disturbed kid that they used to live a few streets from. This then leads them to find Dudley Dursley who comes to Harry for help and then the Task Force have to battle not only The Calamity and the magical folks behind that but this new group of Muggles, now in possession of (did say arm ed, so I can see why that was blocked) with smartphones and other devices they didn’t have 20 years ago, to try and expose the Wizarding World. This could then lead to Pages where you return important Muggle characters like the Dursleys as they come under attack of The Calamity once it latches on.
After typing that, I want us to fail this hypothetical event please.

Add x1 RSB in reward after complete a dark chamber 5 in bonus for anniversary event pls
@Nhix There is a website with the storyline here: https://www.taskforcetimes.news/storyline
Website also has a Quick Reference Guide for all events on one link: https://www.taskforcetimes.news/event-quick-reference

Adventure Sync has not worked on many android devices for the past 7 months.
Please don't add opening/unlocking portkey tasks until this is fixed for android users
We've already lost out on rewards from portkeys and the daily assignments because of this. Please don't make events harder to participate in

Well... sigh
I'm not generally one to complain, but I have to admit, when I saw the info on this one, my first thought was...
*that's it?*
That's really all we get for the two-year anniversary of the game?
@hpwulola @HPWUblue
Minneapolis is 57.49 square miles
St. Paul is 56.2 square miles.
All the red areas of both cities lost ALL POIs December 17th.
This is a summary of the map @cosk62 posted a link for.
Which @HPWUTeam member can ALL players in these affected areas post a request to have the greenhouse task BE marked done so they can complete the event?
So many good ideas & potential content in the comments above!
Not strictly 2nd anniversary but if there was a decent story arc to follow then a big reveal might reignite interest in the game too.
In my view, the story has always been seen as an add on to game play rather than an integral part. The script writing could definitely improve too.
People are drawn to the Wizarding World because of the stories, this game included.
Crappy Anniversary Event with FPS dropped after being updated. Well, you are in deep trouble, Niantic guys.
This "event" is simply not worth my while, they start to get a little repetitive.
@Owlx that map. Is it just Wizards Unite or are Pogo and Ingress also affected?
@FredjeFlitser yes. All events are benefiting
developers at a huge “ co$t” to the players.
@Drakonite beginning to think there isn’t a “human” connection behind these events.
They feel more like they’ve been put together by AI! AKA clueless!!
Being put together by an AI? ... Like this is someone trying to train an AI as to what makes people happy or sad?
If you add in a "greater than" and "less than" symbol being swapped somewhere, so that the satisfaction levels are going down instead of up, I think you've got it.
@AltarielValice the map...IKR!
No POGO and Ingress NOT affected
Just Wizards Unite. Lucky us!😪
@Owlx Sorry dear. That must be horrible! Have you tried contacting the other players within the vicinity and maybe mass report it altogether?
I really hope you get sorted!
@Keybounce I mean it seems like someone hits a key on a computer program and the program generates the type of challenges.
No real rhyme/reason. We’ve all commented with “****, what are they thinking, huh...”???
And, regardless of how many players, how many times complain of the same things, they keep appearing.
We hear your feedback and appreciate it. We will be adding an additional Emergency Foundable boost to this weekend’s Anniversary Event. Expect to see extra red flares on the Map as you tackle our event tasks and uncover exciting SOS Task Force updates from Harry, Hermione and Constance.

Thank you, @hpwulola . Cautiously optimistic that this will be better than originally advertised :)

Thank you @hpwulola and the @HPWUTeam for doing awesomeness 💜💜💜💜!!!
May I try to push my luck and ask for reduced brewing time on Exstimulos? A wizards gotta stay hydrated with all that hard task force work ya know? 😁
Pleeeeeese? Pretty pleeese? - with maybe sugar, sprinkles and cherries and stuff....
... maybe added red wine..
... and chocolate.. 😛 pleeeeeease?

Is the change a red flare boost so severe and emergency foundables or emergency only?
Sadly emergency traces aren’t the ones blocking my prestiges (stupid swooping evil and flying car and goblet of fire and young harry and the veil !)
