[latent sable]

They knew

They put the basilisk in the COS

And they cared for it

[ashen laurel]

then how'd they fall on hard times

[bright bison]

and he knows parseltongue 100% but it would be weird if he tell us how to open it

unless he showed sebastian

[ashen laurel]

their name alone should've carried weight

[bright bison]

he doesnt know us well

but in the sebastian trailer

[latent sable]

I don't think that we can access the chamber

[bright bison]

he seems like he isnt a fan of dark magic

[latent sable]

Because of the basilisk

[bright bison]

his parents probably told him about it and how dangerous its

[latent sable]

We can't fight or hurt him because of the future Harry

[ashen laurel]

dam, i wanted to say hello to slappy

[bright bison]

so he wont tell us

it wouldnt make sense tbh

why?

[latent sable]

Yeah

[bright bison]

like why he would just randomly show us

[latent sable]

Wizards don't like parseltongue

[ashen laurel]

it could still be connected

but for a dark wizard route only

[latent sable]

They see it as something that only the ones that use Dark Arts have

[past pier]

Can you use the killing curse on students and your DADA dueling opponents?

[bright bison]

i mean Ominis could open the chamber of secrets but prob wont

[latent sable]

We see it when harry speaks with that snake dueling with Draco

[latent sable]

Yeah, I don't think that there would be much to do there

[bright bison]

btw imagine doing this lmao people would think you are crazy in real life

[latent sable]

There's just the basilisk

And we can't fight him

[hoary mango]

I’d guess not ||I don’t remember the source but it’s said you can only get it far after the main story||

[bright bison]

I mean ominis can try to talk to them

but idk

i dont think it would

obey

[past pier]

Would that be considered a pool?

[ashen laurel]

plan B for the chamber:

Imperio gaunt, get him to open the chamber, go into the chamber, cuddle the snake

[latent sable]

Would make sense, insta kill don't seem like an early game thing

[latent sable]

Maybe

[past pier]

Wouldn’t kinda of destroy the story if you kill a future companion?

[latent sable]

Usually the games block it

[bright bison]

lmao its like a little fountain

[latent sable]

GTA for example

[past pier]

What if you redo the missions?

[bright bison]

they would show them probably tired or hurt

[hoary mango]

I’d guess there’s free reign or it just blocks it

[past pier]

What do you mean? I mean it’s a duel and you can use any spell including the killing curse.

[latent sable]

You just can't hurt someone who's considered essential for the story

Like in Skyrim

The NPC just stand in the ground and eventually get up

[bright bison]

I mean you could a kill a companion tho but if the mission have that outcome

[latent sable]

Yeah

[bright bison]

for example whoever you choose as a companion could die

in this mission

but its usually locked

[latent sable]

Something like that

[bright bison]

unless the story says it

thats how most of rpg works with them lol

[wide pivot]

The Basillisk for Slytherin it dream ❤️. I'm sure 100% there will make video where they use No Clip, and show what in the behinds Hogwarts has, special the Chamber of Secrets

[past pier]

Would students react to you casting the killing curse?

[latent sable]

Maybe

[ashen laurel]

all the snake needed was a hug

[valid forum]

One thing I would probably like if you could do classes with real players and make actual grades

[upper jasper]

Actual grades nah

[bright bison]

I cant wait for this game yall

[latent sable]

I think that there may be a system where if you do something like that you get "expelled", which would be a game over and force you to rollback the save

[bright bison]

just one more week

[hoary mango]

One of the things said by WB was that there would be reactions and after affects of using the unforgivables

[fallow abyss]

Well, won't it be the year for our OWL exams?

[latent sable]

Yeah, it's so close

[valid forum]

Just one more week for I can watch gameplay until I get me a console

[past pier]

Would you be able to kill Poppy the Hufflepuff? Or would that render future missions impossible?

[ashen laurel]

huh, add to the list of stuff i didn't know

the snake was not a he

[latent sable]

She's a essential NPC, so no

[ashen laurel]

i've been calling that snake a he ever since the second movie!

[latent sable]

She's important to the story

[bright bison]

I believe (and I hope) any companion could die eventually

[wide pivot]

yes

[bright bison]

like they wont die but i mean like if you choose the wrong things

[main blade]

will they be adding more to the main storyline or nah?

[bright bison]

or a bad choice or path

they could die

[latent sable]

I'll play in a Cloud Gaming until I buy a pc

[ashen laurel]

i'm renaming the snake

[hoary mango]

We don’t know everything the game isn’t out, their health bars might just be until knockout unless the game wants them dead

[bright bison]

And I disagree, I dont think Poppy is that important to the story

because they said we dont need

[past pier]

Wouldn’t that render the game unbeatable? The dragon mission would be impossible without Poppy.

[bright bison]

to do their side mission

[wide pivot]

with mods yes

[bright bison]

i feel she could make us be successful in the story

for sure

[latent sable]

There's the side quests, the main story may have some sort of choice system

[hoary mango]

It could just make you redo it like rdr2

[past pier]

So you can’t kill people in DADA duels.

[bright bison]

she is important but i dont believe any companion is essential

[latent sable]

Yeah, but I don't think that we can just simply kill them

[bright bison]

that was a side mission

[past pier]

I mean you killed poppy in a DADA duel so you can’t restart a mission.

[bright bison]

for the poppy questline

that side mission has to do with the main story tho but its like a side mission with her

[bright bison]

ofc no

[past pier]

So you could finish the game alone with any companions after you unlock the killing curse.

[valid forum]

I feel like poppy will died cause must games people who are important died in storyline

[bright bison]

you dont have to do side missions

[latent sable]

Even if they aren't important in the main story, they are in their own questline, if it follows a Skyrim like pattern, they would be immortal if there isn't some specific quest that make them die

[bright bison]

yes

they said its not necessary

to do their quests

maybe Poppy, Natsai

and sebastian

are companions

not matter what

i think they are

[valid forum]

All story games I go back for stuff I missed and I do side quests

[bright bison]

but if they ever have more companions, those are optional

[past pier]

Are you saying you can’t kill them?

[latent sable]

Yeah, I know it, bur I still think that killing them would break some parts of the game

[latent sable]

We can't confirm anything

All is just speculation

[past pier]

Like the dragon mission,

[valid forum]

Why yall wanna kill poppy so bad god ;-;

You must hate her bro

[bright bison]

i think they are like our main companions and if that trailer with sebastian with gaunt is right, we may have more companions but you need to do missions with them to gain them as companions

and i think they may or may not die in the story

[past pier]

I don’t, It’s just that I am lazy in DADA duels.

[bright bison]

if the story allows it

like if you make a decision

[rotund plover]

I really doubt we'll be able to kill them, or even get them killed. I can see them going the "you failed this mission, now this character hates you" route though

[misty rivet]

Good morning

[latent sable]

I think that the can die but just in this case

Not randomly killing them

[bright bison]

ofc no they cant die like that

[rotund plover]

or even get them killed

[bright bison]

exactly! I play a lot of RPGs

[wide pivot]

But if I remember correctly, only Sebastian can teach this unforgiveness spells no?

[latent sable]

Me too

[past pier]

Yes.

[bright bison]

yeah but i believe the others can teach other stuffs too

[valid forum]

Yall played kingdom comes??

[latent sable]

It would be pretty RPG like to have a choice like send them somewhere alone and if you send they get killed

[valid forum]

Its rpg

[rotund plover]

True, but I very much doubt it

[bright bison]

My theory is we have more than 3 companions like 100% sure but Poppy, Sebastian and Natsai are locked companions and they also have a bigger quest line

i believe based on that trailer that we saw Gaunt that he is an optional companion

if we get to do a mission involving him

but he is not necessary

as a companion

just like rpgs always does

[latent sable]

Maybe there's Amit too, but not 100% sure

[valid forum]

And If you died you lose your stuff and you cant carry alot of armor cause you cant run with heavy armor

[rotund plover]

First game in the series, we're dealing with kids, they don't seem to be in a hurry to jump aboard the "let's get kids killed" train

[bright bison]

amait could be because they mentioned him alone way before

but i dont believe he is like poppy and sebastian and natsai

because they would mention him already

like..

unless they want to surprise us

[latent sable]

Yeah, and the Ravenclaw companion is missing

[rotund plover]

It looks like we've shifted frames from "It's going to be like GTA Hogwarts, I'm gonna AK kids all day" to "well, i'm going to talk them into getting themselves killed"

[bright bison]

but he is a companion (i hope so)

[rotund plover]

And I personally think both are really unlikely

[latent sable]

It's weird that we have a main companion from each house except Ravenclaw

[misty rivet]

Seems there are three ways how to learn spells:

1. Charms (Accio, Wingardium Leviosa etc.)
2. DADA (Expelliarmus etc.)
3. Quests (unforgivable curses)

[bright bison]

Mr Sangria, im here using my detective Conan skills

and i think i figured it out

how companions are going to work

3 companions + amit and gaunt

not sure if more

[valid forum]

I will be in school when HL COMES OUT BRUHH

[latent sable]

GTA thing wouldn't make sense, the killing thing would, as it's an RPG

[valid forum]

I'm going miss some people playing it

[bright bison]

like 3 companions are locked for sure you gonna have Sebastian, Natsai and Poppy

[misty rivet]

I’m glad it’s not 100% like GTA , don’t need a warrant and Aurors to chase me

[rotund plover]

I wish you luck on your endeavor, just like I did when people said we'd be able to cast unforgiveables in Hogwarts and I doubted it then

[bright bison]

I love RPGs and AAA ones, had play a lot

[misty rivet]

Detectiv Conan Theme plays

[latent sable]

Maybe we'll have something with the prefects?

Would make some sense

[wide pivot]

The Moira Squier say about something, it can be true

[misty rivet]

Need to finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3

[bright bison]

its not from the leak right?

i dont want to read any

just theories based on what we saw hahaha im scare

[bronze sparrow]

I feel like we will have to sneak around at night so there should totally be detention or at the very least, get house points deducted

[valid forum]

WHY do I feel like you have to choose between your friends

IT FEELS LIKE TWD

[bright bison]

omg i love that one

[wide pivot]

it from official site HL

[misty rivet]

I could feel the rush then.

[bright bison]

ok let me read it lol

[bright bison]

omg you are right

lmaaaaao

and i was kinda right

t.t

So everett also could be one

thats why they have the jordan lee

actor

So lets count possible companions

[rotund plover]

Did we ever get official word on them dropping the wording of "companion" or was that fluff

[valid forum]

Guys should they add a jack sparrow one like HL

That would be a cool too

[bright bison]

Poppy, Sebastian and Natsai (locked), Gaunt (almost sure because of the Sebastian dark path mission), Everett after seeing that and probably Amit

Amit could probably be like those companions that can aid us in the game but wont go to all the missions

since his description says he is afraid

but he would

help a friend in need

something like that

which makes even more sense

[latent sable]

Amit or Everett may be the locked Ravenclaw companion

Or we don't have one

But that would be weird

[rotund plover]

People were making statements that the devs and twitter team were moving away from using the word companion but you know how that goes, people just say things and convince themselves it's true, then get angry at anyone who questions it

[bright bison]

i mean idk they should show one of them already if they are locked

[misty rivet]

There is no actual ravenclaw companion, like Natsai, Poppy or Sebby

[bright bison]

but they could be tho

[bright bison]

there is

[valid forum]

Alrighty guys

[bright bison]

but not like

idk how to explain it

[valid forum]

I'm head to bed

Talk later

[latent sable]

I think the term companion is used mostly because of Skyrim, they'll use something like "friend" probably

[valid forum]

Tomorrow

[latent sable]

Maybe

[bright bison]

if Amit and Everett are what im thinking based on all that information we had seen

[valid forum]

Have a good night or day wherever you are

[misty rivet]

But there are 2 Ravenclaws like Leander Prewett or Gaunt Boy

[bright bison]

that means they can be companions but they arent locked companios

why Leander?

i dont think he is

unless he has a bigger story or something

or maybe wait

[latent sable]

When they talked about the voice actors they talked more about Amit and Everett than the other students, who knows why

[bright bison]

after we do all the challenges

[outer bolt]

If we sneak into the restricted section and take the book on horcruxes and destroy it will that mean that the harry potter cannon would never have taken place ?

[bright bison]

we may get him

too

you may be right sangria

[misty rivet]

Leander is connected to a side quest , so are the Ravenclaws

[bright bison]

but there is a lot connected to side quests

they cant all be companions

[rotund plover]

Nah, lorewise another book on horcruxes would find its way there

[bright bison]

like nelly for example idk

[latent sable]

The game is outside of the lore

[rotund plover]

Oh, we got word, it's officially not canon?

[bright bison]

i need more evidences to consider Leander a possible companion but he was in the trailers multiple times

and so was everett and gaunt

[latent sable]

Maybe some random and not that important companions, like Skyrim

[bright bison]

not sure

[misty rivet]

I’m hyped for Gaunt Boy. Teach me the dark magic 🪄

[haughty ibex]

When HL online comes out in 2028 and the summer update with guns comes out>

Making fun of GTA btw

[latent sable]

It follows the canon but isn't canon

[bright bison]

because this image that someone just posted with what Moira said... its suspicious, they will have backstories

[rotund plover]

Is there an official word on that or is that just your viewpoint?

[bright bison]

maybe like mass effect, you get to know them more if you bring them

to your quests

[latent sable]

In the official lore the events of the game never existed

[latent sable]

Official word

But JK can change that with a tweet :v

[rotund plover]

Wait, did the devs or JK say it isn't canon or are you saying that based on the your take of the game?

[latent sable]

Maybe, but we have 100 side quests do develop haha

[bright bison]

idk i think he is the one talking to sebastian, in sebastians trailer and he is trying to tell Sebastian that dark magic can be fine until its too late

[misty rivet]

If the lore of HL doesn’t collide with the lore of the books , it’s becoming official lore

[latent sable]

If the author haven't said that it is, it isn't

[bright bison]

here listen

in my mind is part of the lore, idc about anything else lol

[haughty ibex]

I think that’s up to JK,
But I’m sure she had to approve the story in HL

[rotund plover]

Wait, so has JK said it's not canon? I don't think she has, she endorsed the story and she's fine with it. So I'm going to believe that she's fine with it being part of her collective works

[haughty ibex]

She hasn’t said anything

But I assume Warner bros had to ask her permission to do it

[latent sable]

She didn't say anything, so it's not :v

[haughty ibex]

I assume she approved the story

[misty rivet]

Pretty sure the story is gonna be good. We’ve only seen a snippet of Poppys Side Quest line and it was so good

[rotund plover]

So no, we haven't gotten any official word, it's just your take on it then

[bright bison]

"the dark arts seems harmless until it's too late" - I think that is Gaunt since he knows about it... it seems he is not really all on board with that (maybe because he may know a lot of people that went to azkaban and ended up dead, etc)

[bright bison]

sameee, it was great for a side quest you can tell they really have professionals writing the stories

so im very exited

[latent sable]

If the author don't say it's official, it isn't 🤨

[rotund plover]

Incorrect

If the author hasn't said anything, we don't know, Official word would be just that, a statement either way

[latent sable]

The final world about the Wizarding World lore is hers

[bright bison]

Just be you, if you wanna make it lore... make it lore

[rotund plover]

Yes, and she hasn't given it

[bright bison]

if not whatever

to me the game is lore

in my mind ofc

[rotund plover]

Is this canon? We don't know, she hasn't given official word but she has endorsed the story. Not "This is not canon"

[latent sable]

Yeah, he may be discconected from his family's ideology

[bright bison]

i mean... fantastic beasts have a lot of contradictions lol

[misty rivet]

The developers tried to make it lore, otherwise Black wouldn’t be Headmaster etc

[bright bison]

this game seems more canon than her own work t.t

[bright bison]

younger generation lol

savable

[rotund plover]

Exactly, if it's JK and she endorses it, I assume she wants it to be included but I hold off until she says it. Everything is in a state of flux, we don't know either way sometimes

Sometimes the stuff she writes isn't canon later, sometimes other stuff is

[bright bison]

in my mind (even if i havent play it)... Hogwarts Mystery is canon lmao

[latent sable]

It's complicated to include a RPG in the lore of a non-game universe, specially if it has choices

Like, what choices would be the canon?

[rotund plover]

Nah, not really, for the most part you just need to choose one official ending. Like in Mass Effect or Kotor

[misty rivet]

HM is p2w but not canon xd

[rotund plover]

It seems complex but ultimately they end up just picking the ending that will suit them narratively the best and run with it

[latent sable]

Still, would be weird from the canon that we don't have any mention about any of this events in the universe

Including something like that in the lore would be broken I think

[bright bison]

that game seems to sucks, it looks like it was only made to get your money

like i tried it recently and i ran out of energy and was asking me to pay

[rotund plover]

Yes, the game is called Hogwarts Legacy but we know nothing about it, so i'm guessing the ending involves us not exactly being remembered somehow

[bright bison]

to keep playing

[latent sable]

Yeah, it's a bit weird

[bright bison]

or wait 3 hours

like... no thank you

[latent sable]

I just downloaded a mod that had infinite energy

[bright bison]

thank god Hogwarts Legacy dont have microtransaction

because i wouldnt like that

[bright bison]

which one

[latent sable]

Same

[bright bison]

i may play it

if you

send it to me because ive never play that game

[valid peak]

need to buy ron weasley's ugly dress robes

[latent sable]

One from Happy Mods

[bright bison]

only like a little

[wide pivot]

No surprised, because most do mobile games for money, noting els

[bright bison]

the game i read that it flopped

because of that

[latent sable]

Yeah, it's a free to play so they have to get money somehow

[bright bison]

and some people say its good but just because of that its hard to play

[bright bison]

then make a one time purchase

[valid peak]

you know how i know HLisn't canon? according to canon ron's ugly dress robes were popular during HL's exact timeline

[latent sable]

I think it's very easy, except for the energy thing

[valid peak]

nobody'swearing em

i read harrypotter too muchi can literallyopnt out every little thing

[wide pivot]

yea but not for like 600 bucks the mobile game it so expensive that ppl only talk about dolphins and whales 😂 , someone will understand it what i'm talking about

[rotund plover]

It's about as stable of reasoning as most of the stuff that gets claimed here as absolute fact 😂

[latent sable]

Bang

[misty rivet]

Ahhh why no dark mode bro

[rotund plover]

Uh, in the screenshot they say it's changed

[latent sable]

"And should not be considered 'canon'"

[rotund plover]

Yea, and they changed that to say something else

Something different than "it shouldn't be considered canon"

[latent sable]

Still, in the past they said that, and they removed but haven't claimed otherwise

[rotund plover]

Wha...

They removed it and claimed something different that what they said first

They said it wouldn't be "direct adaptations", and that's about it

Which nothing is a direct adaptation of the books, not even the movies especially not the movies

[latent sable]

I can create something based as a fanfiction, and it wouldn't be lore unless stated otherwise

By the author

[rotund plover]

Yes, unless the work was created with the endorsement of the author, which the game was

So we're still in a state of "it could be, it depends on how JK feels right now"

[latent sable]

JK approved Hogwarts Mystery but it's still not canon

[river solstice]

What is happening right now???

[rotund plover]

Literally nothing important

[latent sable]

Unless stated otherwise, it's not

[river solstice]

oh cool

[rotund plover]

No, unless stated, we don't know

[latent sable]

It's not how it works

[wide pivot]

How you would try to remove, internet will remember it always, how many year wasn't take 🙂

[river solstice]

I always thought this game would be like a "soft-canon" similar to star wars. It's canon until something contradicts it

[wide pivot]

I did the portrait and other stuff, that game will know who i want to become in the start. Really interesting how will be different from site and from the game, when you will start new game with other house.

[rotund plover]

Agree to disagree, to our neutral corners, no hits below the belt

[latent sable]

I spend like an hour yesterday generating some AI portraits

[potent bane]

That was my assumption as well

[wide pivot]

i need see it =DD

[latent sable]

I was thinking of something like that

[river solstice]

oh damn, those are hot (literally)

[wide pivot]

cool, i like it 🙂

[latent sable]

I literally put "handsome" in the prompt 😂

[river solstice]

Lmao, explains a lot xD

[rotund plover]

I think I cut my elbow on the Dark Academia edge from those photos 😂 good work though, AI generated images are developing nicely

[potent bane]

Is there a website that does them? I don't fully understand how to make them

[latent sable]

I use a Discord bot

"Midjourney"

[potent bane]

cool thanks!

[bright bison]

will you gus turn off the mini map

[twilit hull]

Sus

[bright bison]

so you will find everything yourself without any guiadance

i wont lol

the castle is so biiig and the world

it would be harder but fun for the puzzles

like the painting one

[latent sable]

Same

I'm not that try hard

[bright bison]

It is hilarious when the MC tells Lenora that He won't tell her how to solve the painting puzzle lmao

and then she says... you are kidding?

and he is like... no you should've figured it out yourself lol

[twilit hull]

Lol

[bright bison]

This game is gonna have a looot of clothes

even for completing that mission with the painting they give you this lol

like that tunic/robe

She kinda look like her

[true lotus]

Wow😂

[twilit hull]

Noice XD

@long bobcat

[long bobcat]

<@&755190193367023772>

Yessir

[lilac prism]

It's been handled

[crude osprey]

clothing looks extremely good in HL. I will change between a suit and a longer outfit with a cape

school outfit only at the beginning very likely

[twilit hull]

I want to plan to wear the student outfit just like all the other students

Maybe taking off the jacket at times

I'll change occasionally but I want to be like all the rest of the students

[wispy sun]

I have a feeling that once the winter part of the game comes along most would dress for the occasion

[twilit hull]

Well, the game isn't actually irl seasons, it's based off the main story as I heard

But I hope students will dress accordingly

[wispy sun]

Yah the winter part when you reach that part of the story 😅

[twilit hull]

Lol I know a lot of people thought different

[wispy sun]

Has it finally been said the main story line is the only one the moves the story forward

[twilit hull]

Advancing the story Advances the story 😱

[wispy sun]

And all the other side stuff is the alleged this is what will give you the bad ending side quests 🤣

[jaunty latch]

Real

[unborn shoal]

So how big is the map? Tag me if u know the awnser

[twilit hull]

Well I don't know so I won't tag you.

[long bobcat]

No one knows

[twilit hull]

I can give an estimate

It big

[unborn shoal]

Intressting

[modern nimbus]

Can we not post leaks please.

[twilit hull]

You know, you can easily just dm the person

The. Leak

Instead of risking the ban hammer

[jaunty latch]

Is this not spoiler channel

[twilit hull]

Spoiler = things that they want known

Leak = opposite

[modern nimbus]

It's not a leak channel, anything released unofficially has broken an NDA or other release agreement so by our rules we can't allow it.

[twilit hull]

Do you need to post a comment in pin about the difference? Lol

[feral locust]

I wish they just unlocked this game already for everyone. I hear some people are already playing it through physical copies..

[twilit hull]

Make sense

Copies are being delivered to storefronts

Being readied to put out

[main blade]

wdym?

[bright bison]

How people are getting the book already? Where they ordered it from?

[twilit hull]

Look out for leaks out the butt

[native galleon]

Can’t be a major retailer as they wouldn’t break embargo

[umbral karma]

this is ridiculas yet pc carnt get pre download and steam users may have to wait till 5pm uk time

[turbid knot]

because they don't want to make it too easy for dataminers

[simple nymph]

Steam usually does preloads 1-3 days in advance, not a whole 1-2 weeks. Only for specific releases as well. I am still convinced a preload for PC will happen eventually

[blissful steeple]

Holly heckin heck
I love the new review demo footage

[silk sparrow]

because...street dates...do...not...matter.....to ....retailers....if ....no...one....ever....enforces.....them

there are thousands of independant stores that sell games, minis, toys, books, that order them in , and dont give a single f when they are supposed to be out...people order it...if they have it...they send it out

[blissful steeple]

In states yes

Cant say we ever had this perticular issue in my corner of the Europe

[silk sparrow]

there is 2 stores in the city near myself (uk) that sell like that, you can pick up your copy of the game on console on the first of feb because they dont care

[blissful steeple]

For frag sake tell me the damm game is timelocked?

[silk sparrow]

doesnt seem like it, though regardless people will have copies as early as they get delivered to retailers because people sell them early

[blissful steeple]

I mean...if the game is under a timelock, that it shouldnt matter when you pick it up tbh

IF there is the timelock...I'd rather not have another GoW:R fiasco thank you very much

[silk sparrow]

they cant stop your disc booting up

[blissful steeple]

They cant
But they can stop you from playing the game

Since you know..denuvo

[silk sparrow]

im on pc, my friend bought ps5 version from one of those stores hes going to get his on the 1st

[blissful steeple]

The one time I actualy happy for that god dammed thing

[silk sparrow]

denuvo is not present on the console versions i thought

only pc version which is bad for everyone anyway

direct impact to performance.

[blissful steeple]

Suposedly

Never saw anything that 100% confirms it

but never saw anything that 100% denies it either

[silk sparrow]

confirms what?

[blissful steeple]

That Denuvo affects performance

[silk sparrow]

Digital foundry have confirmed it?
LLT confirmed it?
NExus COnfirmed it?

[blissful steeple]

Who?

[silk sparrow]

https://youtu.be/UXZGCwAJpbM

[umbral karma]

no preload was confirmed i think its the time that bothers me i want mididnigt like consoles

[silk sparrow]

digital foundry have a ton of articles on how bad it is

[blissful steeple]

Hrmmm allright

[late anvil]

I took my test this what I got lol don’t look to good

[mellow grove]

You can always delete you account and try again

[silk sparrow]

you know what makes me laugh

players who claim to just wanna explore and enjoy the game who then min max the quiz haha

"i dont care bout min maxing i just wanna see the world and spend 90000 hours in it"
same person
"i min maxed the quiz cause i want best stuff"

[late anvil]

What’s min maxing?

[silk sparrow]

Efficiency

[rotund plover]

Question, I wonder if linking your account gives you a set of the fancy robes for all of the houses instead of just your main one

[outer furnace]

getting every tiny thing like high defensive

[rotund plover]

I'm assuming it gives you all of them because they seem pretty keen on letting you choose

[silk sparrow]

minmaxing your character to make the game as easy and your playthrough as efficient as possible

[late anvil]

Ohh no that’s not me but I did want my house to be Slytherin

[simple nymph]

I haven’t heard of that, but if that is the case it means you can start downloading at midnight local time (some time zones can start at 23:00 the previous day)

[simple nymph]

You will unlock all 4 variations but you’ll only be able to use the house variation of which that character is playing in.

[mellow grove]

Then it's a good thing multiple save files exist

[simple nymph]

So if you’d make a new character in a different house you’ll be able to use the other variation

[uneven beacon]

ooh really? interesting

its less than 2 weeks boys

[turbid knot]

to be as vague as possible, apparently there is a set of achievements for finding something as a member of each house, but the wording on it makes it seem like it's something that happens early on, so if you want, make a character in the other 3 houses up to that point, then do a 4th as your preferred house and see if you can access all the robes

[simple nymph]

You can also do that later as you have 4 save slots anyway

[uneven beacon]

true

[rotund plover]

Yeah, if you get all four unlocked, then there's absolutely no reason to grind out quizzes to get a certain house

Just get sorted and pick the house you want to play, the test doesn't matter, it's meaningless

[uneven beacon]

its just a game, not that deep

play it how u want it

[simple nymph]

I’m pretty certain there is no in-game quiz and that you just get to choose what house you want to be in

[rotund plover]

HP fans tend to obsess a little over house war stuff

[uneven beacon]

what

[rotund plover]

Oh no, the pottermore quiz you link Hyuun

[simple nymph]

Oh that, yeah

[rotund plover]

People are obsessing over it a little, trying to get "perfect" results.

[turbid knot]

wasn't it said in the books that if someone wants, they can whisper something to the hat anyway to pick what house they're put in?

or was that just a harry thing?

[uneven beacon]

people dont matter

[rotund plover]

It's basically canon that the hat puts you were you want to go for the most part

[uneven beacon]

kinda, yeah

[hasty moss]

If you desire a certain house, the hat can be obliged but iirc there are instances where it doesn't

[uneven beacon]

there's no real canon proof of that happening, but its highly implied

[rotund plover]

I think if it magically detects that putting you there would hinder your growth as a wizard it'll overrule you, but that's speculation

That's just the vibe I got from JK's writing

[mellow grove]

You're wizard Orville

[hasty moss]

I plan to make a playthrough on all houses anyway, I don't really have a main main house

[uneven beacon]

yeah me too

[rotund plover]

I'm fine with any house, I plan to play them all anyway

[uneven beacon]

well sytherin first of course

[hasty moss]

I love red but I love Ravenclaw's common room the most, astrology and stuff like that, I am so into that

[mellow grove]

Slytherin for the win

[uneven beacon]

slytherin master race

[mellow grove]

Hell yeah

[rotund plover]

Although I do want to pick a wand personally, not for min-maxing cores or whatever, I just want to pick a pretty one

[uneven beacon]

me too

[turbid knot]

https://tenor.com/view/archer-phrasing-gorilla-poko-funny-gif-23015757

[mellow grove]

Lmao

[uneven beacon]

idc abt the specs, i just wanna pick a nice looking one

[uneven beacon]

bru

[mellow grove]

Let's be honest
Switch ain't gonna do so well

I doubt the switch has the proper graphics card for the game

[uneven beacon]

i dont think so, they took their time with switch, i think it'll run nicely, at least when not docked

[mellow grove]

And it's gonna kill alot of memory in the system

[uneven beacon]

with current state? ofc, but it'll be better on release

[rotund plover]

It should be fine, it can run on a 960

Maybe not at the frames some people would like but I'm sure switch users are used to it and will probably be happy just to play the game

[uneven beacon]

true

[late anvil]

I’m happy with this one 🤣🤣

[turbid knot]

lol, you guys think it'll actually run on the switch?

[gleaming spear]

Bro’s patronus is 🐵

Awesome

[turbid knot]

it'll be one of those streaming deals

[feral locust]

no

[vernal cypress]

oh my god

I’m so excited to the game

[rotund plover]

I think there's a very vocal small group of people who cheer pretty hard at the idea that the game will just fail on switch for... reasons

I don't know why, there's just a lot of really mean spirited animosity toward switch players

[quaint osprey]

Same reason people don't like mobile gaming, people feel that its not 'real' gaming

[turbid knot]

they're just jealous

[quaint osprey]

Also the logical arguments I see are that its just simply not powerful enough for a game of this size

[rotund plover]

I mean, I hope the devs didn't bite off more than they could chew, in theory they wouldn't have tried if it wasn't possible... I hope

[turbid knot]

oh, I can agree with that, the switch was outdated when it came out, let alone now, many years later

hence why I think it'll be a thing where the game is streamed onto the switch

[quaint osprey]

Eh I think with the correct level of downsizing it'll work

[rotund plover]

It should be doable if they scale it down enough

[turbid knot]

but just because its hardware isn't "up to date", doesn't mean the game on there automatically suck

[quaint osprey]

Some people prefer the portability or can only really do the portability side of it all

[rotund plover]

If the game will scale down to a switch, in theory that means a lot of PC gamers who maybe don't have the newest hardware can scale the game similarly and at least get a playable experience

[turbid knot]

there's a reason the switch is getting it last, even after the PS4/Xbone

if you use the PC specs as a baseline, there's a chance it could be scaled down to work on the switch

it'll look like ass like the witcher 3 port, but it could work

[simple nymph]

This is the first time I see that patronus and I absolutely love it

[turbid knot]

I don't think the patronuses get imported to the game

[late anvil]

Lol I was happy when I saw it hopefully I can keep

[simple nymph]

They have confirmed they won’t be

It’s on a recent FAQ

[silent snow]

I dont even think patronus os in the game so far

[turbid knot]

shame, i'd love to see an orangutan f*ck up some dementors

[simple nymph]

Honestly, same 😭

[feral locust]

Why would you destroy it ? Create one.

[turbid knot]

https://tenor.com/view/time-paradox-mgs3-metal-gear-solid3-prequel-future-gif-18376055

[uneven beacon]

woah orangutan

[silent snow]

I think Microsoft is a bit to early 🤣 its in dutch but look to the date 🤣🤣

[mellow grove]

0_0

[turbid knot]

nah, that looks right, feb 6th for the deluxe edition

technically the 7th at midnight, but some places it's earlier because time differences

[rotund plover]

Someone microsoft charge a week early

[pallid isle]

hey fellow dutchie

[feral locust]

Anyone think this gate will be included in the game ? It was in the HBP movie and game too

[mellow grove]

I feel like maybe 72 hours early access wasn't enough for us deluxe users to get the game

[spare rivet]

Do we know the spells?

[uneven beacon]

really curious abt this too lol

[feral locust]

Also Hagrid's hut

not the huts that looks like that in different places, but past the castle between the wooden bridge and the gates referenced above down the hill

[dull igloo]

I’ve just seen the recent gameplay they published on wizarding world YouTube channel and it seems amazing. The mission with Poppy to free the dragon seems really interesting 💖

[feral locust]

I notice poppy has a character model update

much better than the last time we saw the short showcase

[dull igloo]

True

[feral locust]

they really updated everything

[dull igloo]

Anyway, more I see about Poppy more I feel like she is really the female version of Newt Scamander (wonder if they will ever met in the future 🤣)

[dull igloo]

They did an amazing job. Every character seems realistic

[feral locust]

The castle everything

cant wait to walk around hogsmeade in the snow

and go around the castle at night

literally this is what we've been waiting for as potter fans

[dull igloo]

Me too

[hasty moss]

you gonna rp walk everywhere?

[feral locust]

Castle has a nice upgrade too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePwsRBID3HI

im gonna do everything i can in the game

[feral locust]

came a long way

[neat remnant]

not everywhere but I always RP walk in RPGs when I can

Im like the only one walking in RDR2 online

mostly because the games controls are poop and you cant really walk in first person view

[hasty moss]

[feral locust]

Get a few butterbeers, then rp walk back to the wooden bride, stop at the middle of the bridge, look towards the lake while playing window to the past

[neat remnant]

I was the one campaigning for the walk toggle in cp2077 for a full year

[hasty moss]

Corvinus knows

CP doesn't have walk?

[neat remnant]

It took more than a year for them to add it

[hasty moss]

Wao

[neat remnant]

in theory you could walk with an analog stick on a controller but Im a keyb player so

not possible

even this day, CP2077 is screwed in that simply walking through a door can untoggle the walk toggle

2 years running and the game is still full of issues

[uneven beacon]

lol

thank god i didnt play it

[feral locust]

I hope they'll add readable books to the library and around the world to collect

especially to the restricted section

[gleaming spear]

i suppose there's the field guide pages

idk about full on books

[feral locust]

It would be nice, you know, to learn the horcrux ritual

[hushed hearth]

I don't know but maybe this is it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1pJ0QdwvXc&ab_channel=TheCollectingWizard

[feral locust]

Anyone here from the UK ?

Do we know which street is supposed to be where we get our letter in the cinematic trailer ?

Approximately the same road where diagon alley is is marked, and the Big Ben is very closeby. Leaky Cauldron likewise supposed to be on Charing Cross Road

[iron wolf]

Let's go!

[cursive comet]

Im ready™️

[tawny patrol]

o

[marble oak]

do we know something about diagon alley apart from that trailer in london?

[proven fox]

is it just me or do the genderfluent voice pitches sound like male/female voice run trough a synthesizer

🤔

i thought they were individually recorded voices?

[crisp sable]

There's a bug with the MC voice in the previews

Sounds robotic

[proven fox]

well they need to refine the voice modulation for sure

[crisp sable]

They said it shall be fixed

[proven fox]

xd

hm kk

[crisp sable]

Yeah it does sound unnatural

[proven fox]

but if it were unfixable its prob better to leave it out entirely

cause this breaks the immersion

[crisp sable]

Yes it's funny watching the previews with chipmunk Voices 😭

[quick basalt]

Its just a bug were the voice lines are played twice, once with the adjusted pitch and once without. So it ends up sounding really off

[proven fox]

hm

[crisp sable]

Oh that makes sense that's why

[proven fox]

Engine::PlaySound();

if (modulation) Engine::PlaySound();

kekw

imagine something like this wouldve made it into the preview build

[crisp sable]

Go Timi fix it 😝

[proven fox]

am i getting paid?🤔

also is there any option to disable the questmarkers? like if theres a puzzle and ur being led to the objectives location its kinda eh

boring

[misty rivet]

The first stores got the games, so might be some employees will get the game now

[keen monolith]

Can I ask what words you used? I tried midjourney also but my generated characters tend to have the wrong face shape and nose

[proven fox]

u mean physical copies?

if so i hardly doubt the copy contains little more but a steam code

or respective stores code

[misty rivet]

Yes

[proven fox]

homelander with a wand be like

okay then explain to me how a CD will cover 87gb of data

[outer furnace]

cd have less space then dvd

last and current gen have blu ray

[misty rivet]

The data is on a UltraHD Blue Ray Disc

[outer furnace]

the discs most likely double stack

ff13 on ps3 have 1 disc

whiles 360 have 3 different discs

i hate copies have more then a disc

risks of scratching significantly increased

[clear sphinx]

No.

DVDs are old. A regular Blu-ray has more space, and a UHD Blu-ray has much more space.

[outer furnace]

cd literally have 650 mb of data

[radiant solstice]

They just can’t take it home until street date or they’ll get heavy consequences and be fired. As well as I think there is online data linked with it so they wouldn’t be able to play it yet regardless

[keen bough]

Whose special quest are you hyped for?
❤️ Natsai (save highwing + fight dark wizards)
💛 Poppy (dragons + poachers)
💚 Sebby (dark arts + save his sister)

[keen bough]

Blue is not an option

[feral locust]

It is now

[keen bough]

Amit is a wimp - he’ll make you do history with him

[misty rivet]

Why should I save a hippogriff with Natsai when Deluxe Version will give me two mounts and one of them will be a hippogriff.

I’m into the dark arts

[feral locust]

I don’t know who that is, but okay. Learning more lore about the wizarding world sounds excellent.

[keen bough]

You probably won’t get the Hippogriff mount until you do her quest

[keen bough]

Amit is a Ravenclaw student. He won’t fight with you, because he is more interested in reading about these stuff

[misty rivet]

It’s pre order bonus, which you will get without doing her quest

[radiant solstice]

They’ll face legal charges. Nor do I think there is data in the disc that will download the game because of how they’ll be releasing patches and whatnot. If it was not online-linked then they’d be able to play it sure, but data on a lot of games nowadays link to the internet and it wouldn’t be open

[feral locust]

Sounds good to me. It’s always good to have a smart friend.

[keen bough]

No. The onyx skin for the Hippogriff is the bonus

[misty rivet]

It’s not a skin, it’s a separate mount

[radiant solstice]

All items in DLC and preorder bonuses are not unlocked upon booting the game. You must complete certain quests and reach certain points in order to obtain them. I’d have to dig where this was confirmed

[keen bough]

Maybe. Either way, you only unlock the Hippogriff mount after her quest

Even in the demo, the graphorn and Hippogriff were locked at level 2 or 3. Only the broom was available

[feral locust]

I was under the impression it was just a separate skins

[keen bough]

Yeah I thought it was a separate skin you an equip

[radiant solstice]

I don’t think it’s been confirmed whether it’s a skin or a separate mount, but most have speculated it acts like a skin

[keen bough]

You can make highwing “switch teams” 😂

[ornate bobcat]

Does anyone have a screenshot of the Slytherin windows seen from outside?

[keen bough]

Yeah - saw this on Twitter. Very interesting theory

There is also a Prewett (Leander). Lol. It’s cool to see all these Harry Potter lore names

[feral locust]

hair colour matches, slytherin robes from what I see also

I still find it a little weird/pointless that the collectors edition comes with a Kelpie robe, despite the Kelpie not being in the game

A Kelpie water mount or at least pet in the Vivarium would’ve been awesome

[keen bough]

Lol. The robe looks cool, but not cool enough to make me get it.

[keen bough]

Water enemies would have been cool. Like in horizon forbidden west. But then I’d be afraid to swim

[radiant solstice]

I honestly only wanted the Collector’s for the robe. But despite me checking every day, I still somehow missed it. The PC release was very wonky for Collector’s

[keen bough]

Yeah Pre order launch day was crazy

[feral locust]

I originally had the CE preordered, but I couldn’t justify $300 for a robe, a cardboard box they are advertising as a collectible, and a plastic book with a wand that “floats” a cm above said book

[radiant solstice]

I’m hoping cause a lot of people don’t like it I might be able to find a code for it, if that happens to be how it works

[feral locust]

I feel like I can think of 10 better CE ideas off the top of my head

[keen bough]

Yeah, I didn’t bother. It’s a rip off. There are better CE’s for cheaper. It’s fun for a collector, but I’m not a collector

If I got the CE, I’d admire it for one day, then it would just collect dust on a shelf 💀

[radiant solstice]

I agree. I’m just a huge collector for games when it comes to in-game collectibles. Still looking for word on the hat and robe for the French and German Amazon orders

[feral locust]

I agree. I’m a massive HP collector. I have replicas from the movies (wands, Horcruxes, character items, even stuff from Honeydukes). And this CE didnt make me want it in my collection

[feral locust]

Is it an exclusive hat and robe?

[keen bough]

Normally I don’t care about in game cosmetics, but the deluxe edition was such a good deal, I couldn’t pass up. Plus early access is great for my impatient self

[keen bough]

Whoa! Cool! I have a universal studios wand that I can use in LA and Orlando - got it for less than that plastic Ce 😂

[radiant solstice]

Yep. Amazon orders for France got an Astronomers Hat, Germany got a cloak (I believe name has not been revealed yet)

[feral locust]

Yeah, I don’t necessarily care about the dark arts robe set tbh. And the onyx hippogriff is cool, but I like the base look because, you know, buckbeak. And the challenge room is a cool time waster. I more or less paid the extra $10 to play half a week early lol

[radiant solstice]

Ah, apologies for the misunderstanding. But yes you are correct

[feral locust]

Honestly if they came out today and said for another $10 I can play now, I’d give them $20 just for being so kind

[keen bough]

I like the base look too. I’ll use the white Hippogriff look on playthrough 1, but on my 2nd evil Hufflepuff run, Imma go onyx 😂💛

[keen bough]

Me too

[radiant solstice]

Onyx Hippogriff and Thestral. Really want that Kelpie robe cause I’m a huge animal person but not quite the end of the world if I can’t get the other exclusives

[keen bough]

Oh - forgot about the thestral - that is very cool too. Hyped

[feral locust]

Yessss. I plan on doing Gryffindor first as myself (so not really good or bad, just moreso how I see fit).

[feral locust]

Oh yeah I forgot about the thestral. Yeah I’d pay $10 alone for that. It better fly though lol

[radiant solstice]

I’m gonna hunt for the codes to an extent but not if it’s too ridiculous 😂

[keen bough]

Yep. I’ll make choices that seem right to me. But on that second run, I’m going 100% evil Hufflepuff - poppy and I will dominate the world with our niffler army

[radiant solstice]

Yes Thestral can fly. Animations are very beautiful imo

[feral locust]

That’s amazing to hear. I always wanted this as a tattoo

[keen bough]

Student 1: it’s a bird! It’s a plane!
Student 2: nah. It’s MC on a thestral
Student 1: 👁️👄👁️

[feral locust]

Also, that hat is pretty awesome but I want to see more of that Robe because it looks pretty

[radiant solstice]

I think I’m only going to do one play through unless I mess up. Want to do it completely as myself/my OC and then just keep revisiting with the same save, I’m sure it’ll still be playable enough

[keen bough]

I’m gonna do at least 2 playthroughs - 1 where I make choices that fit to me, then a 100% evil one.
If I feel up to it, I might choose another house in a 3rd run (but it might feel repetitive by then)

[feral locust]

I plan on doing 4.

Gryffindor as myself
Slytherin but nice
Hufflepuff and nice
Ravenclaw and rude

[radiant solstice]

I’d be happy just going around Hogwarts and doing things with magical creatures and whatnot when I’m done with all quests tbh

[keen bough]

Unfortunately, I can’t do a slytherin one. I play on ps5, so it’s on the big tv screen where my mom can see. My mom has huge snake phobia. She even screamed when she saw the slytherin common room video 💀😭😂

[feral locust]

Oh no!!! That’s a shame. Maybe one day you’ll be able to play it. When you create a different character, or if, do you plan on making your other characters look completely different? I do

I’m male, so male Gryffindor.
But I want to do a male Slytherin
Female Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw

[keen bough]

Run 1 - character will look like me
Run 2 (evil) - character will look like me
Run 3 (if I do it lol) - character will be an OC boy
Run 4 - character will be an OC boy

I’ll probably do Me as a Hufflepuff, then evil Hufflepuff, then evil Ravenclaw, then good gryffindor (if I feel up to it)

[keen bough]

Great plan

[feral locust]

I just can’t wait to jump into this game. I have a PS5, so I believe the predownload starts on February 5th. But once it hits midnight on the 7th, my social life disappears

I’m probably going to stock up on snacks and drinks and hook myself up to an IV and play for like a week straight. Friends? Who are they? Sleep? What’s that?

[tranquil drift]

Red bull is gonna sponsor us these upcoming weeks

[dark flicker]

How to get these?

[feral locust]

is this a video ?

what robe is that ?

[proven fox]

after seeing eso's videos, its to be assumed that theres a soft morality system? like the characters do react to what the player does

[feral locust]

Thankfully we don't have to wear robes, but prob will be able to chill in suits

[dense knot]

It's in a video by XpectoGO where he talk about those bonus content he found on amazon FR (the hat)/ DE (the robe)

[simple nymph]

I am checking the German amazon right now and I see nothing about a robe

[cursive comet]

actually everyone is wearing a suit

its just that the robe is over it

[tepid walrus]

What are these exclusives for?

[dense knot]

While talking about the robe he said "a amazon pre-order listing of the collector's edition in german loosely translates the exclusive quest as a quote/unquote "haunted shop in hogsmeade" " so maybe it could be one of the quest rewards? I've checked too but found nothing about it

[simple nymph]

Ah could be a thing

[feral locust]

yes but the robe ruins it

simply wearing a tweed suit is better

[cursive comet]

oh i absolutely agree

im ditching/hiding mine

[feral locust]

same

[simple nymph]

I will likely do the same if the cosmetic options are cute enough 😂

[feral locust]

either will wear suit with wool overcoat, simply suit, or just the shirt with the vest depending on ingame weather

[feral locust]

Mr Sallow also has the Elder Wand

[cursive comet]

i just think it has a knot

and isnt that sebby's uncle

[feral locust]

uncle ?

[cursive comet]

yeah

[simple nymph]

feel like there should have been another bump here if it were the wand, but maybe it is just the angle so we cannot see it properly

[feral locust]

I thought he is his father

[dense knot]

Apparently the shopkeeper's cosmetic set seems to be this.. so I really don't know where does the robe came from

[cursive comet]

"what would your uncle say"

[simple nymph]

Minus the hat I think that looks pretty cool 😮

[feral locust]

I haven't seen this yet, ty

[dense knot]

Yeah! It kind of give me an old magical steampunk vibe, it's nice!

[feral locust]

Well, even if it's not elder wand, I still has an elder wand, just with a phoenix core lol

[north root]

Whose playing it on pc?

[simple nymph]

I would probably still opt for an option with a skirt because it is my preference but if I do a second playthrough I might do it with a masculine character and wear that

[mystic lichen]

game of the year 2023 Hogwarts Legacy !

[feral locust]

Me

[cursive comet]

have u seen this?

[north root]

mnk or controller ?

[feral locust]

that's interesting

[simple nymph]

I did have it preordered for PC but I changed my preorder to PS5

[feral locust]

mnk

[cursive comet]

controller for me

[north root]

Interesting, I’m playing on pc also but gonna use controller I think

I think it will be easier

[cursive comet]

gonna spend HOURS in this game

[feral locust]

Well, I can't use a controller at all

[cursive comet]

im on PC using a series controller

[feral locust]

I never could learn to play with one

[north root]

I have the xbox razer controller, the 100 dollar one, it’s good

[simple nymph]

It is pretty easy once you give it a proper go, I was the same

[keen monolith]

Ooooh you can ride it!

That's awesome

[north root]

I feel like the controls would be easier on controller but maybe better spell aiming with a mouse ?

Imma going to try both

[trail copper]

i can finally break out my xbox controller again to play HL xD haven't touched it since last summer lol

[north root]

Is there ray tracing in this game? Idk if they confirmed it

[dense knot]

Yeah I prefer it too when they give both pants and skirt option available but well, probably will make a masculine character to wear it too

[simple nymph]

I am mainly a PC gamer but I tend to enjoy single player games on console so I have the option to use it at my PC using my capture card or plug it in the tv and chill on the couch 😂

[keen monolith]

PC all the way for me

[simple nymph]

Yeah most of the game seems to be designed around controller as most (if not all) of the previewing has been done on consoles; I reckon it will still work well with either option

[north root]

It says recommended 16 gb of ram, so I think 32 gb is probably the best for a game like this, with loading etc

Luckily I have 32, made the upgrade to it a few weeks ago

[simple nymph]

You should be able to run ultra no problem depending on your CPU

you'd be able to meet 1440p (2k) resolution with (at least) 60fps

[proven fox]

i presume consoles have been chosen for the previews because their hardware is standartized as such its easier to get a good exp with little stutter. doesnt mean that keyboard&mouse setups are 2nd class hardware for the game

[simple nymph]

As to why I said I reckon it will still work well with either option. I think most of the previewing has been done on console because PlayStation seems to have some kind of deal; so it is part of their promotion, probably also why non-PS users get locked out of the extra quest for a year

[proven fox]

but either way u can just use a ps5 controller with an usb dongle on pc i believe

[north root]

I have an I9

[noble zenith]

Did anyone saw what the game looks like in low graphics ? Because I think my computer won’t run it in medium and I’m afraid of how it could look in low

[simple nymph]

Yeah you can also connect it fully wireless (same with Xbox I think?)

[simple nymph]

You'll be grand 👍

[north root]

I imagine the same as any other triple A title on low, probably not great, but if turn some things low and some medium you will get it to look good

[proven fox]

thats what the dongle is for

[north root]

What’s your GPU?

I can’t remember what the recommended gpu is

1080 I think ?

[proven fox]

1080ti for high

2080 for ultra

[simple nymph]

Ah I thought you used some slang for cable 😂 I am used to having built-in bluetooth

[north root]

My controller is hard wired

[proven fox]

3090 for 4k ultra

all in ti

means 4k UHD is almost not achievable

and i bet that even then there will be stutter here and there

[keen monolith]

https://wccftech.com/hogwarts-legacy-full-pc-specs-are-out-1440p-4k-ultra-require-32gb-ram/

[north root]

The recommended is 1080, I’ve looked on steam but the best thing to do is go on to can I run it, and it will tell you if your system is capable, or just wait for the game to drop and mess with systems to get stable fps

[proven fox]

but heres the thing

a 2060 has overall weaker hardware for example but more modern architectures

[north root]

Oh yeah of course, I have a 3080 and I know I will stutter a little now and again

[noble zenith]

Yeah I’ve tried can I run it and my graphic card is missing some ram to have the recommended all checked

[proven fox]

and i dong think the specs are that reliable

[north root]

Oh right, VRAM? Yes that’s quite important, how much do u have ?

[proven fox]

in the end itll come down to each individual system

and

dont forget

@60fps it says

[noble zenith]

Only 4 i think

[proven fox]

yet the console version will have a 30fps mode

meaning, i bet with slightly lower specs one will still get 50fps @average as such

[north root]

Yeah you may struggle with only 4 gb of vram

[proven fox]

having slightly weaker hardware prob wont be that much of a dealbreaker

given that the console version aims for 30fps

[north root]

4gb of vram is so little though

That gets maxed out easily

[proven fox]

hmm think of assassins creed odyssey

great graphics at 3.6gb

so

yes u need to press down the settings

but i believe even medium settings will still be better than 2020 ultra

[north root]

Medium will be good, but in Max’s case he will need to have medium and low settings, in some things even turning them off

[noble zenith]

I’ll try the game anyway 😂😭

[north root]

Just try medium and low, and turn off non important settings

[proven fox]

yea but just saying that i doubt that the game will look 💩 even on medium or low

and the low specs aim for 720p and lets be real no one plays in 720p

dont think the game supports that but xD

[north root]

Really ?

So just 1080p?

No way

It’s 2023

[proven fox]

2240 is not a standard 16:9 res

[north root]

No I know, but on most games it’s a option anyway

[proven fox]

so might be but since

they mentioned nothing about this res

i wouldnt count on it

[simple nymph]

Itll probably be fine

[north root]

Well 1080p is okay too I guess

That’s why I spent the money on the graphics card

[proven fox]

4k is 2160p

thats all i mean tho

[tropic shore]

" Amit is a Wimp", hmmm Don't u think you are being quite harsh and judgemental about a kid that we haven't even met yet. Ever heard the phrase " There is more to person than what meets the eye". And a boy who jumps at a chance to help a friend even though he doesn't quite enjoy being in the thick of things and experiencing certain adventures, but still does it Becoz he is a loyal and good friend , is not a Wimp.

[buoyant radish]

hey i have a question

[proven fox]

anyhow i did the math and with my 2060, i7 9600k and 16/32gb ram which btw is funny because they didnt mention the rams frequency

they could mean ddr4 ddr5 ram no word of it

i presume ill be around 40-60fps

[clear sphinx]

Do you mean 1440p?

[proven fox]

which is prob okay

[proven fox]

thats what i thought

[proven fox]

and different frequencies within those standards

[buoyant radish]

is this true? i though the upgrade being 10 ended with horizon zero down and we needed to pay the full deluxe price again like someone told me :/ isnt the 10 only the DA pack? not the fully upgrade to deluxe?

[tropic shore]

Where does it say he won't fight with u, can you please link the source where u got that particular information. Thanks!

[proven fox]

they said u can buy the DA pack seperately, as a dlc

which i presume will be the deluxe edition anyways

basegame + dlc

[buoyant radish]

yeh i dont mean the DA pack but the deluxe version in total

upgrade to the deluxe evrsion

[proven fox]

theres no upgrade to deluxe edition

only the seperate da pack

[buoyant radish]

yeeeeppp thats what i though

[proven fox]

and id presume the deluxe edition is a fancy name for base game + dlc anyways

[buoyant radish]

no

you miss out in garriaon hat

[north root]

Clicked the wrong number I suppose

[simple nymph]

Lmao 💀 youll be fine playing on 2k with your specs

[proven fox]

prob 100fps + in 2k xD

[clear sphinx]

1440p is not 2k.

[proven fox]

and this

[buoyant radish]

deluxe exclusive

thats why i was confused by this reddit comment

[proven fox]

felix felicis is console exclusive

ps5 exclusive

ah nvm

[buoyant radish]

yeh and garrison hat is deluxe exclusive

so i was confused

[keen monolith]

what does it look like though

[proven fox]

might be that the hat is a promo item

[keen monolith]

the garrison hat

[buoyant radish]

people saying the entire deluxe edition is only 10

[proven fox]

to buy the whole thing at once

[simple nymph]

*digital deluxe exclusive even

[buoyant radish]

so i guess the redditor was wrong and you cant just upgrade to the ENTIRE deluxe edition

for 10

[proven fox]

anyways i wouldnt pay 10$ extra just for a hat skin m8

[north root]

That’s true ^

I wish you could preload on pc tho

Would make my life easier

[simple nymph]

I paid the 10 euro extra to get the 72 hour early access, the rest is just a bonus

[proven fox]

laughs in 150mega BYTES up/+down-stream

[north root]

I think everyone did the same

[buoyant radish]

someone here told me i would need to pay 84 again for the entire deluxe edition if i had already the standard

[keen monolith]

Ok, like the Drumstang hats 👀

[arctic warren]

kinda, yeah

[north root]

No I mean my internet is fast, will take me like 10 mins to download but I have things to do on the day it comes out in the morning before I can play

[proven fox]

10mins waittime isnt bad lol

u can just dl it then take a shower

and come back to it once ur finished its finished xD

[keen monolith]

I'm gonna have to wait 4-6 hours for it to download

[north root]

Actually it’s less than 10

I downloaded GTA 5 in 10 mins

XD

[buoyant radish]

yall i think i ws told misinformation and now i wont get the astronomer hat 😦

[arctic warren]

should download for me in like 10-15

[proven fox]

my steam benchmark said i had a real download speed of 90mbytes/sec, though i did download with 145 from the google servers. so i presume steam is my bottleneck

🤣

[keen monolith]

what internet speeds do you even have 😆

mine should be 150MBs at the very least but it's actually 8 MB/s

[buoyant radish]

wait you had the standard and upgraded to deluxe? and it was just 10 more in ps5 checkout?

[simple nymph]

No I went with the Deluxe from the get go; I just meant I didn't bother with the standard edition because of the early access benefits that were already announced

[buoyant radish]

ohh

sorry

[proven fox]

unless u get ur hands on the product u can refund anyways. if ur so worried why dont u refund and then buy the deluxe edition just as an idea

[north root]

Yea I would refund then re buy

[proven fox]

i mean read the ps5 store terms and conditions if u can

[buoyant radish]

i got the deluxe edition

[proven fox]

but on steam thats how it works

[buoyant radish]

in ps5

[north root]

I doubt sony allow refunds

[simple nymph]

You can always cancel preorders

[buoyant radish]

the point is the astronomer hat for standard only in amazon and idk how much i would have paid for deluxe

in plus

[proven fox]

i dont understand the nature of ur question then

[buoyant radish]

its 84 fore on top of paying amazon right?

[north root]

Is this the disc version of the game or something ?

[buoyant radish]

yes

[simple nymph]

I got the physical Deluxe PS5 for 75 on amazon but I checked different amazons (NL, FR, DE) and none of them said anything about an exclusive robe or hat so I just went with the cheapest option

[north root]

I just buy games digital on console if I play them on there so idk too much about that

[proven fox]

the robe is the dark arts robe basically a robe with a bunch of shadered skulls

[buoyant radish]

thats the amazon hat

[proven fox]

and in all deluxe versions

[dark flicker]

It’s listed on the official Hogwarts Legacy site, but you need to link

[proven fox]

i gotta say i really hate this retailer promo stuff

its like shopping for a real scarf

[simple nymph]

Not talking about the house robes; it is some exclusive thing

[dark flicker]

Oh my bad

[buoyant radish]

ok so the entire point and tldr: if people get amazon standard edition they cant get the entire deluxe one or they need to pay 84 more for it right? thats what i was confused

[proven fox]

maybe if u buy from the warner bros. shop in london u'll get voldemorts nose🤣

[proven fox]

if u have bought a physical copy then id bet on that

at least not via amazon

[north root]

Yeah, you could probably upgrade if it was digitally bough for sure

[buoyant radish]

thanks so i guess the redditor was wrong

[north root]

Don’t listen to people on Reddit xD

[proven fox]

maybe u can upgrade later on from the ingame client

[buoyant radish]

haha lol

yeh i would have to pay 84 to upgrade to entire deluxe

[proven fox]

but i dont see how to upgrade ur disc

[north root]

That’s a lot

[proven fox]

thats alot more

than the deluxe edition at all xD

for a hat

[north root]

84 for a hat

[buoyant radish]

yeh the 10 euros is only the DA pack after release not the entire deluxe version lol

[north root]

It isn’t worth it

[proven fox]

deluxe is 70€/$ so ud pay 14 just for the hat

keep that in mind

xD

[north root]

How bad do you want the hat?

[feral locust]

Hi guys

[proven fox]

the hat looks 💩

[buoyant radish]

i wouldnt get the astronomer hat if i get the deluxe

[proven fox]

xD at least for a 14$ price tag

[north root]

Hi

[simple nymph]

Not worth going through all the trouble just for a hat tbh

[feral locust]

I don’t remember that hat 0.0

[simple nymph]

Keep in mind there are also a bunch of cosmetic options in the game

[north root]

Yeah probably best to just cut your loses with the hat

[buoyant radish]

yeh i couldnt anyway unless i paid 70 from amazon plus 85 to ps5 to get deluxe

[proven fox]

harry potter scar dlc incoming just 19.99

🐒🤣🤣

[north root]

I can see them going that route
