[forest fjord]

I don't remember all that much because I have not diving but I have seen some gameplay of it.

[solemn saffron]

The map of hogwarts from the gamers who played hogwarts legacy

Some said it was kind of small

[gleaming spear]

there's absolutely nothing to do underwater in gta except for 1 mission

[strange phoenix]

And not counting the cellars and rooms

[forest fjord]

Oh , alright then.

What are those purple dots ?

[solemn saffron]

Not sure maybe npc side quests

[honest comet]

they were also only able to see a small guided section, so

[solemn saffron]

Ooh nvm

This map is a bunch of screenshots of the mini map from the players because they could not open the main map due to nda so that's where they were to take the shot

[bitter igloo]

i mean it is really just a missed chance if there is no open world diving in the game, there is so much water on the map, from what we've seen that not being able to go diving in it makes no sense to me, but hey if you can't dive by launch of the game, there might be modders making it possible

[solemn saffron]

Do you think the castle is small?

[crimson kestrel]

The castle is huge

[solemn saffron]

There is only so much they can do

[honest comet]

also remember they were not playing on final version

[strange phoenix]

We will probably have some potion or sorts to dive underwater

[bitter igloo]

wdym by that?

[feral locust]

yes agree but maybe DLC?

[honest comet]

so we still don't know

[forest fjord]

I agree because you will get bored at some point by only swimming at the surface

[solemn saffron]

You got to remember, there was already alot of speculation to whether we would even be able to swim so I see this as a win. Anything else is just extra

[crimson kestrel]

I agree

[bitter igloo]

is it tho?

[bitter igloo]

just swimming on the surface makes no sense really

[solemn saffron]

about as much sense as gta 5

[crimson kestrel]

Swimming shouldn't be the focus of an HP game, so the fact we can do it without diving is still a win IMO.

[solemn saffron]

Gta 5 has diving but the map is smaller

[bitter igloo]

but gta has stuff in the water like collectibles, a mission, and also eastereggs. also that is pretty much a life sim

[solemn saffron]

I do think it would be cool to dive in HL but why don't we give this game alot of support and hopefully a sequel releases with these added features.

[cursive comet]

yes

let them add year 6 and 7

[solemn saffron]

And dumbledore starts school at hogwarts

[cursive comet]

yes when we're in our final year

he will just join 1st year

[bitter igloo]

oh im definitely gonna support them haha, already pre-ordered the deluxe. just love having conversations like these 🙂

[obtuse marten]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE4mQA96PE4&t=51s

look at the graphics popping at 51 sec

big oof?

[forest fjord]

Which platform are you playing the game ?

[cursive comet]

its a video game, not the next best thing since toast

[bitter igloo]

i mean there does seem to be a lot of culling problems in hogwarts legacy, i hope they've fixed that

[solemn saffron]

I'm on pc so this doesn't worry me. Seems like a consol artifact

[bitter igloo]

got it on PC, steam to be exact

[cursive comet]

keep ur expectations realistic and grounded

[solemn saffron]

Also this is an older build of the game we're seeing and on top of that we get day 1 patch so yea

[obtuse marten]

i hope so but there's quite a big list of these small-ish issues.
most of the time they're saying 'oh it's not the final version there will be a day one patch'

but idk how many things they can cram in 1 patch in that short dev time left

[solemn saffron]

It's an older build too

[forest fjord]

What does day 1 patch include ?

[obtuse marten]

nobody knows

just bug fixes tho

[solemn saffron]

Most likely bug fixes, maybe some optimization ect...

All in all I'm just so happy for this game. Gonna most likely rewatch the harry potter movies this week. Just saw the secrets of dumbledore last month.

[bitter igloo]

i watched all the movies last two weeks ago, and had really forgotten how good they were

[solemn saffron]

Such masterpieces right

[hidden mountain]

Just on the topic of diving,I was looking on the HL Instagram page today,and a guy in the comments (unreliable I know) claimed to have a friend on the development team who told him the devs disabled the diving mechanic for the previews,but that a certain step is required in the game to access it anyway. It's on their latest post,if anybody wants to check it out. I know it's a completely unreliable source,but hey.

[forest fjord]

Speaking of harry Potter movies , are they ever gonna release the extended versions of movies 3 - 7 ?

[bitter igloo]

yea they were really good

[merry linden]

can i send a leak here?

[solemn saffron]

Lol gotta be something I see to believe. Don't wanna get my hopes up. But if this is accurate I'll remember you

[solemn saffron]

Yea

[bitter igloo]

no leaks allowed on the server

only spoilers

[solemn saffron]

What I thought they were

[merry linden]

i just want to send the world map

and ask about it

[hasty moss]

Leaks and spoilers are different

[hidden mountain]

Yeah same for me

[solemn saffron]

It's been forever so maybe not

[forest fjord]

That's interesting

[solemn saffron]

U can dm me if u want to talk about it

[forest fjord]

As the entrance to the chamber of secrets is confirmed. Is there a possibility we can open the chamber of secrets

[oak ridge]

Do you think we can tame a Phoenix in Hogwarts and if we can tame one will we be able to tame more ?

[solemn saffron]

Have some pheonix stew

[solemn saffron]

Only the heir to slytherin can open it.

[forest fjord]

Maybe a snake bossfight

[bitter igloo]

i think they've said that the chamber of secrets can't be opened

[hidden mountain]

If you want an answer to that I would recommend looking at the artbook leaks

[solemn saffron]

The art book leaks are kinda confusing like the main map can't really make it out compared to previous pics

[bitter igloo]

i think that might be cause some of the art is what they had in mind earlier on, but they can have changed it for final release

[obtuse marten]

https://youtu.be/vE4mQA96PE4?t=735

[forest fjord]

Not necessarily. You just need to know parstletongue

[hidden mountain]

Yeah but RedWing is looking for Chamber of Secrets,which they give info on in the artbook. Yeah for sure it's mainly concept art

[obtuse marten]

good to see they're not going full kids mode

guy got chomped by a dragon lmao

[forest fjord]

Yes. Not much information about it is given

[hidden mountain]

It is bud. They say whether or not it's in the game.

[solemn saffron]

Imagine if you can fly your broom into space to other planets lol I'm weird

[forest fjord]

Can you tell what's in it ?

[hidden mountain]

I can't say here I don't think,I will try and find the picture of the page and dm you

[forest fjord]

Ok , thanks

[keen bough]

There may be a new HL trailer on February 2nd. On the PlayStation house cup contest, you can’t watch the next trailer until February 2nd.

[forest fjord]

Wow , where is this ?

[keen bough]

From Twitter

[bitter igloo]

im pretty sure it's a store that got their copies

[mossy gorge]

Even ron opened it in the 7th book with something that sounded like parseltongue

[bitter igloo]

that i think is mostly explained in the movies, Hermione asked him when he learned to speak parseltongue, he said didn't you know Harry talks in his sleep, or something like that

[mossy gorge]

No, we cant go in. They confirmed that lorewise we would be unable to kill the basilisk, since it should still be alive for harry to defeat

[mossy gorge]

In the books too

[mossy gorge]

I think just the one

[bitter igloo]

we might be able to get one to put in our velarium or whatever its called

[mossy gorge]

Vivarium

[green delta]

It’ll be same for all animals available to rescue and care for them, in the Vivarium, Aquarium & Aviary.. Essentially we’re just Noah and Hogwarts Legacy is our Ark😂

[bitter igloo]

i really enjoyed the Fantastic Beasts movies, and i thought Newt was very sweet. so i do like the whole beast caretaker thing

[mossy gorge]

Though in lore phoenixes are vastly different

[green delta]

It’s gonna be one of the best features to the game tbh… that whole side of it is practically a game within a game

[mossy gorge]

And they don't really breed, as they are practically immortal

[bitter igloo]

makes sense

[mossy gorge]

So this would be a fanpleasing exception to the rule I suspect

[bitter igloo]

you cant swear on this server 🥺 or use inappropriate language

[cursive comet]

broooo

language

[green delta]

I’m just curious whether there’ll be a limit on how many creatures & beasts we’re allowed to rescue.

By that I mean. Can we have 1 of each or will we have to pick & choose which we wanna care for

[mossy gorge]

I think all the breedable animals will have a function for ingredients

[bitter igloo]

i mean it would make sense if they just do one of each, or well two of each since there is the whole breading thing

[mossy gorge]

So I think you can collect them all

[cursive comet]

Arent still greeeeeeen

oh be still my beating heart

[forest fjord]

Who said anything about Killing it ? We just want to fight it till the health gets low and it can escape back into the darkness of the cave.

[mossy gorge]

Enjoy it, while you still can 😂

[cursive comet]

no matter the houses we're in we'll always be friends 🥺

[mossy gorge]

The said they didnt want to give us the illusion we could kill it

[static cove]

Sorry 😔

[mossy gorge]

So probably still no

[bitter igloo]

im not here to make friends 😮‍💨

[cursive comet]

I am!

[green delta]

That makes sense, I’m just more cautious on the space available.. just from the showcase alone. Having 2 Graphorn’s in the Vivarium, takes up a huge percentage of space

[cursive comet]

🫂

[mossy gorge]

Theres 3 vivariums

[bitter igloo]

but i mean there are like three places we can have animals

or is it four

[cursive comet]

3

[mossy gorge]

3 that we know of

[bitter igloo]

aight

[hidden mountain]

Artbook guys

[cursive comet]

a meadow, a swamp and a beach

[bitter igloo]

lmao no

[mossy gorge]

No, showcases

[green delta]

There’s only one Vivarium.. there’s also an aquarium and possibly an aviary?

[mossy gorge]

Mostlikely different biomes

[feral locust]

Ominis Gaunt

[hidden mountain]

No I mean in the artbook you will get your answer. Not putting it here

[forest fjord]

We already know that the snake will be alive as per the canon so we all know the snake will live no matter what. Why not give the illusion of killing it ?

[bitter igloo]

still no

[hidden mountain]

I don't understand?

[mossy gorge]

Ask the devs, I just repeat what they said about not wanting to give us the illusion

[green delta]

Most likely. I’m just thinking more on the different types of creatures… land mammals, sea creatures & birds

End of the day. It’s all just speculation.. come 7th/10th. We’ll know a lot more as we jump into it

[forest fjord]

Okay , forget the snake. can we go into the chamber of secrets ?

[mossy gorge]

Its not confirmed we can go underwater, so im still thinking ice biome, instead of underwater

[regal wasp]

u cant speak parsel tounge

so why tf would u be able to go into the chamber

[green delta]

Imagine capturing a Yeti👀😂

[hidden mountain]

I already dm'd you the picture

[bitter igloo]

no

[hidden mountain]

I'm confused.I thought we can't talk about leaks here?

[mossy gorge]

No, they confirmed that, sorry

[forest fjord]

I saw it now

[bitter igloo]

they have said themselves that you cant go into the chamber of secrets that is not a leak

[green delta]

||Dragons are in the game so I’m genuinely intrigued, if there’s a chance to rescue an egg. Which itself, would need acres of space for it grow 🤷🏼‍♂️

As seen in the side quest. Our player gets an egg… maybe that’s ours from that moment onwards||

[bitter igloo]

||i mean we do take an egg from the sidemission shown in the previews||

[hidden mountain]

Ok,was not aware? Pretty sure it was in the artbook

[forest fjord]

But mods are gonna try every nook and cranny to get in there .

[bitter igloo]

well that would mean that the devs have made it, and not just left it as a blank room, or something similar

[mossy gorge]

nah that would mean people will grab a mouse and try to design it themselves

eventhough it's against t he UELA to mod

[green delta]

Exactly. That being shown to us out of free will, throws up a load of questions…

[forest fjord]

If it's part of the lore then they must design it the level even if we can't go through it

[bitter igloo]

no lmao, if you can't go in there, there wont be a need for the devs to make the room, they can just make the entrance

[mossy gorge]

they already had to cut half the game because of time and money....... they certainly wouldn't design it if it wouldn't be used

[forest fjord]

What did the other half of the game have ?

[mossy gorge]

working morality system, quidditch, a bigger map

[green delta]

I personally feel they haven’t cut the game in half. They’re just using the parts, they haven’t included in the official release, as future DLC’s

[mossy gorge]

nah that was just a figure of speech

they cut a quarter of the map

[solid python]

as if people would play quidditch more than 5 minutes if it was even in the game

[mossy gorge]

but as far as we know, they are not planning on DLC

[cursive comet]

nope

[mossy gorge]

some people certainly would

[cursive comet]

they said no quidditch instead u get broom race challenges

[green delta]

Yeah unfortunately I’ve seen the leak. Regardless though, it’s still gonna be jam packed with goodies

[bitter igloo]

also ingame NPC's explain why there is no quidditch

[graceful wedge]

Good quidditch game would make people play it a lot lets be honest. People was playing some racing through circles in the old HP games

[mossy gorge]

yup

[bitter igloo]

id rather a smaller map with loads of stuff to do than a big map with nothing to do

you know

[hidden mountain]

Again,,sorry leaks. Nowhere,even in the artbook,does it say how much of the map they cut. That is pure speculation

[green delta]

Exactly. A small jam packed map has the potential for growth.. as for a large empty map just sucks out any future plans

[forest fjord]

If the sales are good then maybe they could add it as a dlc

[mossy gorge]

I am still hoping for this, yes

[green delta]

They’ve probably already made profit just from pre-orders

[bitter igloo]

they def have

[green delta]

Look at how many people that have physically bought brand new PS5’s & Xbox Series X’s just for the game

[bitter igloo]

i mean it's number 1 most places that sell it

[forest fjord]

And the collectors edition are sold out. The devs are gonna be rich.

[bitter igloo]

not the devs lmao, they don't really get that much money, its more the company

[graceful wedge]

I hope they will add a lot of content after launch as dying light 2. New missions, outfits, rewards, challenges etc. This can be graet if devs want to care about the game

[green delta]

Not surprised. The fact it’s even made it’s way onto TV commercials is an “hats off” to the whole lot of them at WB, Avalanche & Portkey’s👏🏻

[bitter igloo]

i wouldn't really compare stuff with DL2 since that game isn't actually "good" imo, and i know many actually share the same opinion. but in general i hope they add more stuff and so on

[graceful wedge]

It can be good or bad but development is great and make game alive. DL was alive since start ending on DL2 launch

[forest fjord]

They are still adding content for the first one too

[graceful wedge]

Game can be boring but devs adds challenges and new content every months constantly

[bitter igloo]

personally i don't want new stuff every month since that tends to suck the inspiration out of devs, i would rather they focus on something bigger such as example a dlc

[jaunty latch]

me w/ the eggs because im clumsy

[neat remnant]

I find it strange that people use spoiler text in a spoiler channel

[bitter igloo]

well that's just how it is

[bronze pike]

Y’all see that 55 gb patch some Xbox users got?

[green delta]

Just double protection. Not everyone wants to see every spoiler detail… maybe some only watched adventure gameplay and ignored the side quest.

It’s all personal preference so it’s just to be safe

[bronze pike]

That’s absolutely massive!

[feral locust]

whats the 55gb update?
[12:17 AM]
can anyone tell me

[green delta]

Well there’s 77.1GB just for the game:

Game: 62.7GB
High Def Texture Pack: 13.4GB

But there’s also 1GB saved right at the bottom.

[bronze pike]

I was watching a YouTube video this morning saying some Xbox owners are showing a 55 gb update

Was just asking if anybody had seen it

[green delta]

Tbf. I just went into Microsoft store to check details and it popped up saying 99.6GB or something.. then quickly changed back to normal🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[bronze pike]

Oh right on, thanks for confirming lol

[green delta]

Could just be a bug in the network

Just looking at the screenshot of the Vivarium… we all know the exterior is customisable. But I wonder if we can enter the cottage

[bronze pike]

I would have to imagine No being we haven’t seen too much of it but who knows

They def put a lot of love in this game, that much is obvious

[green delta]

100%. The game is designed by nothing less than Harry Potter fanatics

[floral grove]

people who have seen the gameplay, does it look good?

[umbral karma]

yh it looks good

last days are the worst now

just need that steam midnight release time confirm

[green delta]

Watch the gameplay mate and judge for yourself. All have a variety of opinions

[floral grove]

i dont think i want to spoil myself too much, so just asking the people who have seen hours of it

[green delta]

For me personally. I’m more hyped after watching the gameplays 😂

[bitter igloo]

don't expect it unless you live in a place where its midnight at that time. most games release at 18.00UTC when steam updates, or when the steam HQ is at midnight

[bronze pike]

Same, after watching gameplay I’m over the moon, this is going to compete for game of the year in my opinion

[bronze spindle]

Last bit of news I'm waiting for

[bronze pike]

A DLC months down the road is extremely possible with how well it’s selling and it bodes well for Potter heads like myself

[green delta]

That’s fair enough mate. If my opinion is any good.. it looks quality

[floral grove]

thank you, awesome to hear, gonna preorder from steam i think

[bronze spindle]

I think we need to expect a fair few bugs, based off the previews

Not cyberpunk level nothing close but there will be some

[bronze pike]

They confirmed a day one patch, most bugs will be fixed launch day

[bronze spindle]

I wouldn't rely on that

[umbral karma]

hopefully they say this week looking unlikley tho

[green delta]

Bugs are always expected on new games. Not everything goes smoothly.. and even if it does, there’s always a little crack that gets identified

[bitter igloo]

the bugs they know of might get fixed yea, creating other bugs ofc, but also most devs have to make a quick update later on once they see what players are doing since players a typically the people who somehow break the game

[green delta]

I just really hope (community sake)… people don’t start slamming the dev’s etc for a few bugs on day release.

We’re lucky it’s not been delayed again

[umbral karma]

theres stil time

[bronze spindle]

That's what I mean, I don't want people expecting a perfectly polished 100% bug free game n then at launch everyone is really mad bc it's not gonna be that

[quick basalt]

No game is 100% bug free

[bitter igloo]

luckily games can never be 100% bug free

but hopefully the bugs at launch aren't game breaking or very big

[green delta]

Even if they are tho.. they can only be fixed with our support

[quick basalt]

They've probably played through the game many a time and ironed out the most prevalent bugs for a normal playthrough

there's probably going to be odd bugs here and there for people going out of their way to test the limits of the game

[bitter igloo]

yea but players always tend to be those breaking the game or doing some really weird stuff, that makes bugs

[quick basalt]

Of course, but I think if a player goes out of their way to find bugs, then you can't really complain that the game is buggy

Breath of the Wild has plenty of bugs, but I don't think anyone would describe the game as buggy

cause you just have to go out of your way to do them

[bitter igloo]

never said that, but players will always find bugs that devs haven't found themselves

[quick basalt]

Oh yeah, of course

1 million + players vs 400 employees

Statistically will find a lot more bugs

[old pier]

She a runna she a track star

[hasty moss]

I never get the fun bugs, just the annoying ones

[quick basalt]

As long as the game isn't crashing and you're not getting soft locked, it's all fun

[graceful wedge]

No one is smarter and more tricky than one player that reall want to bug your game

So I would say
This 1 player > whole world

[bitter igloo]

i do however think that it's good that there are players that go out of their way to bascially find bugs

[quick basalt]

It's usually a bit of a group project haha. Especially for speedrun strats

[shut trellis]

https://youtube.com/shorts/wH7UBhsf8Uk?feature=share

Happy to see that Howlers are in the game but the animation for the student looks a bit odd

[green delta]

Oooo, I wonder if howler’s are given to the player too if they make a rash and poor decision

[floral grove]

is there any video for the playstation exclusives?

[green delta]

||Look at the quality difference👀||

[crisp sable]

I don't really see anything different lol

[civic nova]

That would be hilarious

[proud glade]

This appears to be in the vivarium so are hippogriffs gonna be breedable?

[shut trellis]

I’m going 30 fps for sure

[languid vale]

i cant play 60 fps XD

[hasty moss]

Platform difference or just fps?

[green delta]

Just FPS.. both on same platform if you look at the spell diamond

[shut trellis]

I’ll probably change it a lot for the main part 30 fps but missions 60

[cursive comet]

yes

highwing is female, tho u might get another pair

[fallow abyss]

I'm just glad that a good-looking game is overcoming politics/cancellation

[cursive comet]

me too buddy

[hasty moss]

interesting

[fallow abyss]

You might have just helped me choose a new character name. Currently I have Ezra Exelby, but I saw highwing in your post and thought Hiram Highwing might work well too.

[regal smelt]

Different time of day? The lighting looks quite a bit different as well.

[crisp sable]

now I can see it! I don't know how it works on pc tho

[green delta]

Ultimately it’s up to your personal preference.. I for one, will be choosing quality over performance. If something isn’t rendered, it irritates me😂

[compact skiff]

Wait we can actually breed some creatures???🥺wow

[cursive comet]

yes u can buddy

[green delta]

Apparently so.. believe we can breed & nurture them

[cursive comet]

baby nifflers, mooncalves, kneazles, thestrals, hippogryffs and graphorns to name a few

weeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

[green delta]

Definitely naming my baby Niffler - Teddy.. bit of a reference to Newt and his little buddy 😂

@cursive comet are spells a leak? Seen a few content creators posting their screenshots of the full list of spells available

[cursive comet]

the list is a leak yes

ur not supposed to have seen them all ... yet.

[bitter igloo]

i do, specially in the lighting

[green delta]

I need to get off of YouTube😂

[silk sparrow]

Honestly if you are on PS5, you either suck the crappy graphics for 60fps or you play fideilty and hope your ps5 doesnt explode and you can putt up with the stutters and frame drops.

[bitter igloo]

im happy i got it for PC

[civic nova]

Same. I plan on go dark soon. Afraid of spoilers

[cursive comet]

its best to retreat back to smaller servers yeah

that way u can still talk while missing all the spoilers

[bitter igloo]

just avoid this channel and #1062579793108946984 then there shouldn't be a problem, it's only a problem if you yourself can't get used to not going into these two channels

[tropic shore]

I don't really know, Chandler also called seb, nat and poppy as classmates in one of the post.

[cursive comet]

they're full companions

and have personal quests tied to them

while sebby, natty and poppy are companions and classmates yes, the rest are just classmates

[jaunty latch]

man bruh

i hate to be that guy but the vocal compression for this game is a big red flag

[mossy gorge]

they will most likely patch that out with day 1 patch

[bitter igloo]

true, but also they have come out and said that it is the different pitches people used that overlapped the normal one

[hexed vapor]

Any Steam/PC video footage out on YT yet or it's still all PS5? Trying to decide to buy it on Steam or PS5. Lack of PC footage has me worried.

[wide pivot]

Everett Clopton can be companion

[jaunty latch]

I hope so, It seems as if regardless of how distant the npc is, they always sound like they're right in your ear

[mossy gorge]

its marketed by PS so im not surprised

[bitter igloo]

no pc previews out, they haven't given that

[bitter igloo]

choose what you wan't most, don't look at it as performance tbh, since that will most likely be PC

[mossy gorge]

PS has nice preorder bonusses and PS exclusives, but I think PC will be better still

even if it's only the possibility of mods

[bitter igloo]

PS only really has the potion as an exclusive, the quest is only somewhat exclusive, it will come out a year later

[wide pivot]

1 year just need to wait to play it on PC =DDD

[mossy gorge]

true, but if you got the choice between ps and pc, it's a noticable difference

I only got the choice for Pc so for me it's indeed nice that I'll still get the dungeon and shop after a year

[bitter igloo]

dungeon?

[mossy gorge]

yeah theres an PS exclusive dungeon, apart from the shop

[bitter igloo]

where you got that info from?

[mossy gorge]

which will too unlock for PC after a year

[bitter igloo]

and what is that dungeon?

[mossy gorge]

from WB?

they released that video so long ago

[bitter igloo]

damn haven't seen it

[mossy gorge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9KhHDxjMqU&t=5s

[solid python]

"unlock" as in you can buy it for 5 to 10 dollars lol a year later

[wide pivot]

don't have ps. i have PC

[mossy gorge]

it will probably unlock for free though

[solid python]

nope lol

[twilit hull]

You'll see PC footage probably fed 7th when embargo lifts

[graceful wedge]

I bet you are a dev

[twilit hull]

Exclusive ps5 is why it's all ps

[solid python]

no im just not copium

[bitter igloo]

you're so cool man

[solid python]

the in game shop is all i really care about

[bitter igloo]

thx, i didn't think it was a dungeon, i just always thought it was the shop in itself with some sort of side quest

[solid python]

and if they will do PS exclusive packs

[bitter igloo]

actually you can only get the game on PS

[forest fjord]

What is additional dungeon ?

[solid python]

wat

[mossy gorge]

the hogsmeade shop is the reward for completing the dungeon - you can see in the video you get to fight mannequins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9KhHDxjMqU&t=5s

[crisp sable]

There's a dungeon under the shop through a chest

[forest fjord]

I get that but what does additional dungeon add to the the quest ?

[crisp sable]

Dungeon spooky factor lol

[bitter igloo]

why would they say that the quest and all that comes to everyone else a year later and then not say that you have to pay for it. while they have said that if you want the Dark Arts Pack but you bought the standard edition, you can get it for a small price

[mossy gorge]

I think the quest will be "complete the dungeon" 😛

it's not tied to the main quest or anything

[forest fjord]

Oh okay. I thought the dungeon would be another added area to explore

[mossy gorge]

would be cool, but unfortunately it's not

[fallow abyss]

Are poppy, sebastiqn, etc also 5th years?

[mossy gorge]

but though, im happy it's not tied to anything else than just convienence

[mossy gorge]

probably yes, as they are said to be classmates

[fallow abyss]

Poppy just looks so much younger

[crisp sable]

Poppy's voice acting is good. The main character's is meh ☹️

[pine spoke]

is it just me or does the male player voice sound like it's echoing as if it's playing multiple times over one another?

[cursive comet]

lets not

[bitter igloo]

No leaks 😢

[mossy gorge]

they wll definitely fix that with the first day patch

[pine spoke]

hopefully, it's annoying

[crisp sable]

That's the exact bug. Devs said it would be fixed

[pine spoke]

good to hear

thanks guys

[tropic shore]

Ok mate, I deleted it my comment

[bitter igloo]

i think the devs said that it's cause the voices went over each other, so normal and other pitches had an overlap, making it sound bad

[pine spoke]

it definitely still happens when only the player is talking

it's very noticeable as npc's don't have the issue

[bitter igloo]

idc personally, just a rule

[forest fjord]

Is natsai onai the daughter of the professor with the same last name.

[mossy gorge]

yes

[forest fjord]

That's interesting. We can use her to get Intel from all the professors.

[mossy gorge]

who knows 😄 but surely an interesting thought

[tropic shore]

I know I can't really post any leaks or spoilers here, so I'll just say this 👍

[pine spoke]

spoilers are fine, leaks aren't

[bitter igloo]

spoilers are allowed

[crisp sable]

Yes this is literally called the spoilers channel

[green delta]

@mossy gorge had a change of heart and gone with Gryffindor?😂

[mossy gorge]

I mean there's 3 "main" companions with their own storylines that have a certain effect on the main story, if I remember correctly

[forest fjord]

Can you go fully solo if you want to ?

[mossy gorge]

hehehe I've always been gryffindor, Malus pulled me to the darkside yesterday 😛

[tropic shore]

Yeah, there are only three " key" Companions. Ravenclaw got thrown aside,I am literally so disappointed.

[clear sonnet]

I'm still shocked that a dev took him 80 hours to get 100% completed. This is gonna be a long game!

[mossy gorge]

I think not if you want those parts of the story unlocked that they provide, but I don't think they are "needed" to progress the main story, but I could be wrong

I do seem to remember they are kinda side storylines

[cursive comet]

💚

[green delta]

Well I’ll await the day you venture into Ravenclaw.. big welcome be waiting 😂☺️

[mossy gorge]

😄

[crisp sable]

I'm a Huffleclaw

[mossy gorge]

same, I hope a DLC is in the making 🧐

[forest fjord]

Sebastian can teach dark magic and the unforgivable curses. Poppy can help you with beasts. Iam not sure how will natsai onai help because we haven't got much info on her

[clear sonnet]

What are you guys gonna do on your 1ST playthrough? Good or evil?

[mossy gorge]

I think Natsai is doing something around the hippogriff

[crisp sable]

Natsai would teach wandless magic

[neat remnant]

obviously refresh rate has nothing to do with graphics quality lol

[crisp sable]

My guess

[green delta]

Her mother is a professor. Huge part of the game

[cursive comet]

sebby - dungeons and ruins
poppy - poacher camps
natsai - dark wizard camps

[bitter igloo]

bit of both

[tropic shore]

What about Goblins?

[cursive comet]

kill every.last.one.

regardless of who ur with

[mossy gorge]

I think they would be under Dark wizard camps

[feral locust]

The poacher that tried to kill that owl in the trailer is the first guy I’m killing

[forest fjord]

Yeah , I think her mother will be an ally and will defend against black.

[mossy gorge]

is this confirmed or an educated guess?

[crisp sable]

Don't tell IGN

[cursive comet]

🙂

[neat remnant]

I guess pureblood opinion on goblins and house elves isn't very high

[feral locust]

IGN review was good until the end 😐

[cursive comet]

u know better than to ask me that

[feral locust]

Really had to bring jk Rowling into it like that ☠️

[neat remnant]

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FantasticRacism

[feral locust]

Embarrassing

[green delta]

Possibly… I have a sneaky suspicion Professor Black is slyly linked to Rookwood

[neat remnant]

Knowing IGN, even if it sounds good, I cant be sure if they actually mean what they say

[cursive comet]

no Phineas is bro

[neat remnant]

as Ive said before, IGN is a weathervane which tells people what they want to hear, mostly

rather than be objective

[feral locust]

I agree but I feel like it could’ve been worse .. Then you get to the ending

[cursive comet]

stuck up man child, but soooo good

[crisp sable]

Yeah at the end he was like guilt tripping people about being happy with the game. Like we aren't supposed to be happy because of the controversy.

[green delta]

The only good part of Phineas Black is that he’s voiced by Simon Pegg😂

[neat remnant]

Rookwood family has its own lore and bloodline I think

[outer furnace]

so close

[proud glade]

Baby hippogriffs would be so adorable!

[feral locust]

So we’re not thinking any distant potters are in game right ?

[neat remnant]

stiff upper lip!

[jade quartz]

@cursive comet ❤️

[cursive comet]

💚

[forest fjord]

Is there an option you can attack from the skies ?
Like riding on a hippogriff and casting spells on enemies below. ?

[green delta]

I don’t mean linked by blood… but if you look at the films.

Augustus Rookwood escaped Azkaban with Bellatrix (who is related to Phineas Black)

Victor Rookwood is an ancestor of Augustus

[mossy gorge]

not that we know of, yet the graphorn has a stunning effect if you run through a group of enemies

[cursive comet]

no sorry no aerial combat

[dusk haven]

yikes day 1 update is 55 gb.... i might be forced to install a game on hdd

[green delta]

I genuinely believe there’s a big connection between Victor Rookwood & Phineas Black

[cursive comet]

since the engine renders things out as u go higher

[dusk haven]

85 gb for whole game and then 55gb day 1

[cursive comet]

yeah u xbox guys got the wrong version

u should be on 1.0.0.6 now

[neat remnant]

Or perhaps its a Snape-like distraction

[green delta]

We’re still on .5

[feral locust]

Wait what ?? So 130 gb ?? Wtf

[forest fjord]

Would be cool if you are flying and casting avada kedavra on enemies below lol.

[crisp sable]

Xbox getting a second update 😂 and PlayStation with nothing

[mossy gorge]

bit OP though 😂

[dusk haven]

yeah there is a video about it available in youtube

[neat remnant]

55GB is a day one patch, it doesnt necessarily add on top of the used space

[feral locust]

It really doesn’t matter we will still get preload on the 3rd or something

[feral locust]

Ah I see

[neat remnant]

it replaces files most likely

[mossy gorge]

5th I believe

[cursive comet]

xbox "patch" is just redownloading the entire game

[azure edge]

I still cant pre download on steam, i will wait some i guess

[feral locust]

Bet

[cursive comet]

the wont be a preload on steam i think

[bitter igloo]

no they won't sadly

[cursive comet]

they fear data mining

[dusk haven]

yeah there wont be preload for pc. on 7th we probably get access to whole thing

[azure edge]

ooooofff, that will be a long 1 to 3 hours on the 7th

[dusk haven]

for me its a whole day of downloading

[mossy gorge]

I do hope it will release at midnight

[bitter igloo]

soo true

[cursive comet]

i do have some good news

[bitter igloo]

got fast internet, but steam will be bugged out a bit

[cursive comet]

Pc will download around 42gb and then unpack it to 85

[mossy gorge]

yeah that's so nice

[dusk haven]

yeah 42gb still a long downlaod when max sopeed i get with download is 3 mb/s

[azure edge]

I will see, with some luck i can download around 16mb/sec so than it will take around 1,5 hours in the worst case

[bitter igloo]

oh yea good luck hah

[dusk haven]

and it goes up and down constantly

[cursive comet]

i feel u bro

[mossy gorge]

oof that will take you about a week

[dusk haven]

nah a whole day

roughly

[cursive comet]

well im off, see u guys a bit later 💚

[bitter igloo]

im very happy with 100+/Mbs speed on steam

[crisp sable]

Omg we're almost thereeee. Malus is still here since I joined this server 😂

[mossy gorge]

see ya Malus 💚

[green delta]

DLC’s possibly confirmed?!

[green delta]

Cya later buddy👋🏻

[bitter igloo]

wouldn't say DLC confirmed

[mossy gorge]

nah that's dark arts battle area and stuff

[twilit hull]

Future patches confirmed lol

[mossy gorge]

says nothing about future stuff guys, don't get your hopes up too high instantly xD

[azure edge]

didnt they cut some of the map for future DLC

[feral locust]

Bro ? Boutta take years for you to download the game 😭😭

[bitter igloo]

Patches are bound to happen but not DLC

[true lotus]

DLC possibly dark arts pack for standard edition owners 🤔

[mossy gorge]

we hope for future DLC, they didn't promise anything, they even said they will be moving most of their team onto other projects after launch so

[green delta]

I’ll take it. It’s still a DLC🥳😂

[twilit hull]

How long did it take to download RDR2 lol

[feral locust]

This wasn’t confirmed yet

We won’t know until we see full map in game

[bitter igloo]

Isn't that hard to say cause we've only gotten leaks, and not official info on that

[mossy gorge]

they did cut some of the map, but not with the promise they will turn it into dlc

[feral locust]

We don’t know if they did 100% yet tho lol

[mossy gorge]

if it's still in the game it's going to be empty

they said as much

[azure edge]

we will see, but if the game will maintain a huge player-base than it is from a business point of view good to keep it on long term support, but only time can tell

[dusk haven]

i havent played rdr2 at all but i have played baldur's gat 3 and its early access is huge also

[feral locust]

Even if they cut 25% of the map the world is still going to be massive

[mossy gorge]

sure, they said they would look at sales and interest too, but they certainly didn't make any promises

[feral locust]

The map we saw was HUGE

[mossy gorge]

and I rather have a slightly smaller map packed with content than a huge map that feels empty

[tropic hemlock]

I wouldn’t mind future DLCs

[mossy gorge]

but as far as we know, they said they would be moving most of the team over to other projects

after launch

[azure edge]

Did anyone by the way heard something about a photo mode, still kinda hoping that this feature will be a thing😅

[mossy gorge]

im also still hoping, but have seen nothing that confirms it

[bitter igloo]

always the possibility to use the oldschool method

[sudden umbra]

prob will be present

[mossy gorge]

but they did say that parts of the hud will be able to be turned on and off

[twilit hull]

Well I mean, then why would they even have this #1062579793108946984 if no photo mode

[sturdy quail]

So whats up with that 55 gb update?

[mossy gorge]

complete redownload because they got the wrong version

[simple nymph]

I tried to ask but they had no info on it yet, happens to be a standard thing for modern games but the developers did confirm you can turn on/off certain UI elements so either way itll be possible in some way

[bitter igloo]

screenshots are possible'

[sturdy quail]

ah thanks

[azure edge]

hmmm yeah, but turning your hud on and off cant be compared with a nice photo mode ofcourse 😅

[simple nymph]

Day 1 patch, to fix stuff found late in development

[mossy gorge]

true xD but at least if theres no photomode, we will still be able to screenshot without hud elements

[twilit hull]

Eh yea

[bitter igloo]

it is what people were using before there was a photomode 😛

[mossy gorge]

we'll get that one on day 1 though

[wide pivot]

Missions only available during certain time of day. Pressing square will trigger open world RPG time skip.

[simple nymph]

Isn't that the 55gb one? Or am I confusing the two

[twilit hull]

I'm just here watching forsaken and thinking "damn these voicelines are awful"

[dusk haven]

baldurs gate 3 early access download was roughly 80gb and unpacked size was like 150gb

[mossy gorge]

nah people got the wrong version, so the 55 gb "update" is actually a complete redownload of the right version

[azure edge]

again time will tell with this, this will be probably a busy week regarding this is the last full week before the game launches content will go up to get people hyped

[simple nymph]

Gotcha, gotcha, thanks for correcting me

[mossy gorge]

I wanted to redownload Ark a few days ago... that one counts up to 222 gb, I was mortified

[twilit hull]

People be thinking it's the day one patch XD

[mossy gorge]

it happens x)

[willow stag]

What did the update include?

[twilit hull]

A whole different version of the game. ohhhhhh

[willow stag]

Wdym?

[twilit hull]

Lol it's small

[mossy gorge]

it's not an update, it's a complete redownload of the "right" version

[willow stag]

Ohh ok ty

[gleaming spear]

Size really isn’t such a big deal

[twilit hull]

Yea, "a completely new and exciting with never seen play"tm version

[willow stag]

Bet it got a great personality

[sudden umbra]

good find

[mossy gorge]

opinions can differ on this subject 😛

[dark flicker]

I’m dead 💀🤣🤣

[simple nymph]

Not wrong

[willow stag]

💀💀💀

[mossy gorge]

🤣

[dark flicker]

Dirty minded😂🤪

[twilit hull]

It's not the size, it's how it's used

[willow stag]

Wise words

[mossy gorge]

this is true too, yes 😛

[dark flicker]

😜😂🤣

[twilit hull]

This is a completely holy discussion about sizing and the difference between.

[willow stag]

Amen 🙏

[mossy gorge]

and who got the bigger "update" 🤣

[twilit hull]

Exactly

[dark flicker]

True😂

[twilit hull]

Is this update all talk or does it have some substance to it

[mossy gorge]

we can neither confirm nor deny this 🥸

[twilit hull]

I guess we'll have to see when it shows us

[green delta]

Ain’t a Streeler, a massive snail?😂

[twilit hull]

speaking of sizes 👀

[mossy gorge]

that seems like a very slippery endeavor

[twilit hull]

Big and slippery huh

[green delta]

What have I walked back into👀😂

[twilit hull]

We are talking about upd.... ok maybe slippery doesn't work here

[mossy gorge]

the quality of the conversation is lowering .. with every comment xD

[twilit hull]

I'd say it's raising

[mossy gorge]

and we're back at measuring 😛

[twilit hull]

You taking notes

[green delta]

Well whatever the subject is about, it’s needs growth in quality

[mossy gorge]

isn't that what we all need 😛

[twilit hull]

It just needs some motivating material Is all

[shut trellis]

Inspirational

[green delta]

A pep talk to get into the mood😂

[mossy gorge]

if we had one of those hourglasses that measures the quality of the conversation, like horace slughorn, we'd know for sure 😛

[sudden umbra]

facts

i like the flashbacks with tom riddle that the hourglass basically stood still when they were alone in the room

[green delta]

I’m off back to my video. Definitely taken a surprising turn🥴

[mossy gorge]

have fun with your... video 😛

[twilit hull]

Make sure this is in your highlights

For your script

[green delta]

Definitely an highlight for sure. Could say it’s the tip of subject

[twilit hull]

Just make sure you don't reach the climax of your video too early

[fallow abyss]

Yeah,spoilers

[twilit hull]

And leave them wanting more

[green delta]

So it’s more about the length of the cliff, not the span of the lead up

[twilit hull]

You'll get there with practice

You have to develop the endurance

[green delta]

Quality over quantity. Girth over length

[twilit hull]

Bingo, see you're getting how to satisfy your veiwers

[green delta]

This truly has become a spoiler for the clear conscience people😂

[twilit hull]

Lol well I'm going to hell now .... so I'm um going to work lol

[mossy gorge]

we need an innocence spoilers channel 😂

[twilit hull]

#💡discord-suggestions

[trail copper]

....what did i walk into?

[sour tundra]

Just walk away.

[mossy gorge]

n-nothing to see here xD

[green delta]

Sir Cadogan must be overhearing our discussion😂

[green delta]

Think the 3 of us scared everyone off. Poor innocents 😂

[twilit hull]

You brought it full circle!!

[dark flicker]

Does wand size matter?😂

[twilit hull]

Depends on who's asking

[steel wadi]

Its not about the size of the wand its about the motion in the ocean

[green delta]

The only thing that matters is the rigidity & magic it withholds

[dark flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/magic-stupid-ron-weasley-harry-potter-hermione-gif-13987101

[dark flicker]

what about the flexibility?😏

[cursive comet]

mine is "surprisingly swishy" so its just a long pool noodle

[bright bison]

I noticed that as well. Definitely the same.

[twilit hull]

Well that's an Image ....

[cursive comet]

wand flexibility determines how well u adapt to change

more flexibility = better adaptation

[bright bison]

We don’t know. I already expressed my theory after playing so many RPGs and they usually have locked companions that you get them not matter what because they are attached to the main storyline (I would say those are Poppy, Natsai and Sebastian) and then if we have other companions you need to do their relationship quest to get them to be your companions

Like in Mass Effect you get Garrus, Ashley and Tali as main

Like you get them not matter what

The other ones you need to do some missions to obtain them

[twilit hull]

I am still betting that ravenclaw is a huge part of the main storyline

Like, we are going to see them no matter what in the main questline

[green delta]

I hope so😂

[mossy gorge]

oh god, what am I coming back to 😂

[latent sable]

Probably Everett and Amit, seems that Amit is the companion

Both had their voice actors shared and Amit have a Character Card similar to the others on Twitter

[bright bison]

I believe we may see them all or most of them at some point or they may have a part in a main mission but not sure if they are locked companions, they would have shown some trailer for Amit

Unless they want to surprise us

[green delta]

Whatever you started😂🥴

[bright bison]

But yet Moira mentioned Everett and Sebastian in the same category

And he is voiced by Lee Jordan’s actor

[latent sable]

Yep

[misty rivet]

Any new news or hints?

[latent sable]

Just the 55GB update I think

[fossil patio]

yeah

just that

[green delta]

One hint. Don’t mention measurements or anything related.. chat goes nuts 😂

[jaunty latch]

D:

what

My wifi cant even download 10 gb without taking 5 years

[misty rivet]

My wand is 12 3/4“

[mossy gorge]

just xbox got the wrong version I believe

[fossil patio]

downloading the game will probably take me like 3-4 hours ish

[jaunty latch]

god i wish

[clever carbon]

55gb? That’ll take like 40 seconds for me. 2.5gb upload and 2.1gb download

[jaunty latch]

Im going to have to wake up at 12 AM, start downloading the game, and go to bed and hope that it is done by time i wake up

[green delta]

Mines 10.5” & unbending. Balanced in length and top quality magic😏😂

[clever carbon]

Fiber optic connections ftw

[jaunty latch]

bro is borrowing nasas wifi

[clever carbon]

It takes a minute to download WoW, which is like 90gb

$75 monthly for fast internet

Feelsgoodman

[fossil patio]

shush

[north root]

What city you in?

[wide pivot]

what is really confusing that, what will be different with 3 ( Poppy, Natty, Seb) key companion and with Ravenclaw who not the "key" companion who can be have huge part of the main storyline

[jaunty latch]

lol I would pay for my own wifi but at this point, college classes are more important 💀

[clever carbon]

Somewhere in the world @north root

[jaunty latch]

I'll have to make do with the school wifi lol

[clever carbon]

Nice

[latent sable]

😎

14 1/2

[jaunty latch]

damn thats one hell of a long wand

forget sleeve pockets

youll break your wand the second you bend your arm lol

[jaunty latch]

damn

yalls wands are long as heck

[green delta]

Not surprised to see Aren return when wands are mentioned

[modern nimbus]

We have a channel for these guys and it's not this one.

[long bobcat]

#🧙wizarding-world-passport-channel

[round vortex]

You guys seen this?

You can wait to do classes

skip time mechanic

[green delta]

Imagine it’ll be a meditation type of mechanic

[fallow abyss]

Very nice

[neat remnant]

I got the impression from the dev talk that classes werent restricted to specific time of day

[sturdy quail]

Theres a chat section for this

go there

[fallow abyss]

Just watching the preview videos that are pinned, I love the soundtrack. It fits perfectly imo.

[civic nova]

Same! Love the music and the sound effects are good too

[silent snow]

Is this good?:p

[uneven flax]

M

[tidal grotto]

how many endings ?

[uneven flax]

Meny

[green delta]

What region in world?

[ocean owl]

Do you guys think we will be able to get a black cloak like Snape?

[silent snow]

I live some where else then my xbox is saying 🙈🤣

[round vortex]

Won't lie if this is legit its pretty dissapointing that you lose cool lighting for just a higher FPS, especially given PS5 tech.

Can anyone confirm if this is a thing?

Or if Jor was just unlucky with time of day

[bitter igloo]

well i mean that is what the game looked like in the build that they got to preview

plus lighting and shadows do tend to be the easy thing to tweak so you get more frames

[round vortex]

There was also load times to open doors a lot

Even on PS5 SSD

Like just doors to other rooms within the castle

So the last gen versions are going to struggle if so

[bitter igloo]

well it wasn't the final build they were playing, and that build also didn't have the day 1 patch, so there is still hope, for those gens

[round vortex]

I'll still play on 60fps as I like smooth gameplay

[bitter igloo]

yea i got PC so no worries for me either

[round vortex]

Yeah it's what others are saying just worth noting for people who get bothered by it

[quick basalt]

Impossible to confirm without knowing having a direct comparison. This difference could straight up be a difference in time of day

[muted aspen]

As long as I can run 4K that’s all that matters

[round vortex]

All I know is there's a quality and performance

[bitter igloo]

specs?

[round vortex]

Haven't heard of 4k

[muted aspen]

Yea

[round vortex]

Just 1440p and 60fps

[bitter igloo]

wdym yea?

[ivory basalt]

With a 1080Ti, pretty sure I'll stick to 1080p

[muted aspen]

Yes, 4K in specs

[round vortex]

Even with my 2070 the game will struggle sometimes

[muted aspen]

Xbox

[round vortex]

I think it's best to enjoy a console experience on ps5 or xbx

[bitter igloo]

no im asking what are your specs, cause if you on console you can run 4k but you'll only get 30fps

[round vortex]

4k at 60fps on PC is going to take you to have a beast lol

[muted aspen]

I’m on Series X, so 4k at 30

[round vortex]

3090 atleast

[ivory basalt]

Yeah I dont really fancy buying a TV (Havent owned one since 2017) and a console lmao

Yeah they recommend the 3090 for 4k60 on PC

Though, as per usual, take system recommendations with a grain of salt

[bitter igloo]

im just going 1080p im good with that

[round vortex]

Always assume if it matches your machine it's best to have more

1080p 60fps is all you need imo

Until 4k is the standard I won't budge

[ivory basalt]

Yeah same Rage, as long as I can get somewhat high settings on 1080p, I'm happy

Which really shouldnt be an issue on a 1080Ti. Sure its an older card now, but it is still holding up pretty well

[bitter igloo]

i can run ultra settings 1080p so im happy with that

[ivory basalt]

What specs are you running Rage?

[bitter igloo]

3060 12gb, 32gigs ram, and a I7-12700

[ivory basalt]

O nice

Yeah 1080 ultra shouldnt be an issue there

[bitter igloo]

nope

[ivory basalt]

Gonna be fun to see how my rig runs it with a 1080Ti (Strix OC) 32 gigs of ram and an i7-8086k

Should be pretty okay for 1080p

[potent bane]

I'm at the point now where I want more than 60fps lol

[bitter igloo]

i would only be worried about it when it comes to CPU on your part but that's it

[ivory basalt]

Tbf, I've never had issues with that CPU. Got it running at 5.1 ghz on all cores

[bitter igloo]

fair

[ivory basalt]

And it is still a 6 core cpu, so its by no means a slouch considering its age

[vast flare]

I have a good pc but im probably gonna get it on ps5

[zinc kindle]

I don't have a PS5 so PC it is haha

[vast flare]

I just want to see how the game would be with the controller and the haptic feedback and all

[bitter igloo]

since ive gotten a pc i have not used my consoles

[potent bane]

You can use a controller on PC

[bitter igloo]

just not really confirmed if haptic feedback is a thing on pc with the dualsense controller

[vast flare]

thats what i was thinking

and I like playing games on console more than my pc idk why

[bitter igloo]

what are you specs?

[vast flare]

ryzen 7, 3060 ti

[bitter igloo]

aight

[north root]

My specs are i9 and RTX 3080

[vast flare]

the richness

[jaunty latch]

that's absurd

[bitter igloo]

wdym, that's just how most games are on console

[jaunty latch]

really?!

[bitter igloo]

yes

[jaunty latch]

I haven't played console in 4 years so my mind is dusty

that just is mind blowing to me

[vast flare]

u gotta have a 4k monitor for that anyway

[jaunty latch]

You'd assume that given the hype behind the technology of new-gen consoles, games wouldn't be such a problem

now im worried about my PC lol

[bitter igloo]

well i mean the devs can finally up the graphics on the consoles, but that doesn't equal them getting more fps sadly

[bitter igloo]

how come?

[steel wadi]

math homework

[outer bolt]

Bc console tech is always 5 years behind what is currently out on pc

[shut trellis]

Is there a reason why my Xbox hasn’t done the 55gb update?

[bitter igloo]

that's cause no one has gotten to review it on pc and so on, all previews have been on PS cause they have a deal. PC reviews will first come out when the embargo lifts for everyone

[steel wadi]

wym I'm dead serious no cap 💯 math homework is terrifying

[mossy gorge]

its not the day one patch, they had the wrong version of the game, so they got the right version now

[bitter igloo]

he wrote the answer

[north root]

Where is everyone from?

[potent bane]

Earth unfortunately

[fair kite]

I’m a moon person

[jaunty latch]

Do you think a 2060 Super with a Ryzen 7 2700 would be able to handle ray tracing?

[mossy gorge]

is it day one? no .. that patch will come on day one. The 55gb "patch" is actually not a patch, it's just a different version

[bitter igloo]

no, i don't think most cards can do the ray-tracing, specially not when there is so much water

[jaunty latch]

Sea of Thieves runs at 75fps for me

[bitter mango]

Hello ❤️

[jaunty latch]

sea of thieves is 95% water too

[bitter igloo]

that game is also not very graphically demanding like at all

[jaunty latch]

The water is heavily demanding wdym

It's the most realistic ocean in gaming history

[fallow abyss]

3080 TI will hopefully be able to get high frame rates on ultra.

[mossy gorge]

they literally got the wrong version, it's nothing about opinions

[jaunty latch]

I'd be surprised if it couldnt

[vast flare]

think so

[mossy gorge]

they (xbox) will still get a patch on day one, as everyone will get

even the physical game copies will get a day 1 patch

[twilit hull]

Going to drop Feb 7th when the emago drops

[tropic shore]

Yeah, that's true. But WB and Avalanche also singled out Amit from all the other Ravenclaw students. Dedicated a whole twitter post for him, gave him his own character card and biography like the other Companions. Also he is voiced by Asif Ali who is a prominent actor and was part of MCUs Wanda vision.
Hint : What if both of them are companions... Wink wink 😉😉

[green delta]

Xbox update is still up for discussion?

[mossy gorge]

for some, apparently

[green delta]

Can understand the confusion. Fair few content creators are throwing it around without full detail

[mossy gorge]

at least it was today until I saw my first hogwarts legacy video with actually wrong facts and easter eggs, lol

[bitter igloo]

well that's how it is with all youtubers atm

and all the news surrounding HL

[mossy gorge]

will probably grow exponentially from this day onward 🤦‍♀️

[green delta]

Here we go again with growth🤐

[shut trellis]

What

[bitter igloo]

ive seen sooo many vids that have wrong facts, and post the same stuff about HL on a day to day basis

[green delta]

There’s a lot more leaks getting branded about too. Crept on a couple tonight already

[shut trellis]

I haven’t even had it yet

[twilit hull]

It's not the day one patch, for sure

[mossy gorge]

im fine with the same stuff, but wrong facts is soooo bad

[green delta]

What GB does yours say?

[bitter igloo]

there are soo many vids with wrong facts, it's weird, like why are you using the subreddit for this game, all there is, is leaks and other wrong facts, people speculation and so on

[green delta]

Think my favourite videos yet. Are the non-commentary ones😂 just enjoying the sound effects, music and general game sounds

[shut trellis]

77.1gb for main game and 13.4 gb for high definition texture pack and then the add ons aren’t anything

[green delta]

Hmmm… XB1 or XB-SX?

[mossy gorge]

pff I saw one today where they said that the game was 110 years before harry potter was born, that dumbledore was 11 so he might appear in the game, and that the prefects bathroom was named moaning myrtles bathroom 🤣

[sterile valve]

Friendly reminder to not discuss leaks of any kind in this channel, this is meant for discussion about what has been released of the game from gameplay reviews

[shut trellis]

Xbox series x

[bitter igloo]

all good, no leaks are being talked about here

[sterile valve]

a saw a comment not too far back and just wanted to state a reminder

[nimble sky]

The npcs know what good

[tidal turret]

can you kill students

on the sly

take out hogwarts

[topaz lark]

Isn’t this a spoiler channel tho

[topaz lark]

No

[bitter igloo]

yes, but no leaks

they are two very different things

[green delta]

Oh boy… you’ve dug up old dirt. That subject needed to be swept to bed😂

[mossy gorge]

spoilers fine, leaks can be untrue

[topaz lark]

How are they different

[nimble sky]

After you finish the whole game I see people doing a quick save and just becoming the reason Voldemort exists

[bitter igloo]

one is actually confirmed and the other is not, and also isn't coming from devs

[green delta]

Spoilers = intentional
Leaks = unauthorised

[twin dagger]

From last demo preview, maybe npc character creation algo can be a bit more better. Noticed some twin looking npcs :p. Not sure if that was intentional.

[twilit hull]

Spoilers = uninteresting
Leaks = juicy 👀

[nimble sky]

Avada kadavra the whole world we shall!!!!

[green delta]

Depends on the type of leak I suppose 😶‍🌫️

[twin dagger]

Well, it was a demo gameplay for ps5 users saw a bunch of different gameplay vids. Basically assisted by game devs

[green delta]

Yeah, basically all of the gameplay videos will be similar in contrast. They were all monitored by Devs and restricted to certain aspects of the game.

That’s what I’m led to believe anyways

[bitter igloo]

that is true

[topaz lark]

Yeah I think it was similar to the Elden ring demo where there was only a certain playable area.

It wasn’t monitored by devs but there was a physical wall in game

[bitter igloo]

the preview for HL, was monitored by the devs tho

[topaz lark]

Yeah cause people were flew out to LA, Paris and somewhere else.

[cursive zodiac]

Is this going to be multiplayer?

[topaz lark]

No

[cursive zodiac]

Like a wow?

[mossy gorge]

singleplayer only

[cursive zodiac]

Hmmm

[bitter igloo]

my god lmao

people might even ask the same question once the game has launched and people can see gameplay

[cursive zodiac]

Didn’t know if multiplayer just wasn’t in the demos on YT. Calm down there Rage

[topaz lark]

There isn’t multiplayer.

[bitter igloo]

im totally calm, the question only gets asked five times a day

[cursive zodiac]

Well don’t be on so much?

[bitter igloo]

it would surprise the whole community if multiplayer was a thing at launch

[topaz lark]

Sounds like you are here too much.

[mossy gorge]

I don't believe he meant it as an attack

[bitter igloo]

well don't work atm so yea, plus even if im not in chat i can see what people type

[bitter igloo]

people assume too much

[cursive zodiac]

It’s 2023, everything is an attack

[topaz lark]

You could work instead of looking at the chat for a game that isn’t out yet lol

[mossy gorge]

hey that's not nice

[topaz lark]

I don’t care

[bitter igloo]

no i can't just work, gotta wait till march when i can apply for being a police officer

[mossy gorge]

I think you should

[topaz lark]

I don’t think I should

[topaz lark]

Cool man

[sterile valve]

Hey! Let's just remember some people are just discovering HL for the first time and may not know. Be patient with questions that have already been answered

Also, be nice..

[keen bough]

Any new HL news? (Other than the Hippogriff post)

[twin dagger]

Ooo oooo I have a nice nice niiiiceee question..... So far what I couldn't wrap my head around is.... Do we need to stay on story track or would we be able to explore only as well

[mossy gorge]

it's openworld on a story track, so basically you follow the story, but within the story you are able to freely explore and smell the roses

[sterile valve]

For the game to progress you would likely need to do the story, but can explore at your leisure

[fair kite]

The missions aren’t timebassd like that you can do what you want really

[upbeat plank]

The game release is so close, but so far away😭

[bitter igloo]

just gotta get through one more week

[fossil patio]

yup

[lost nacelle]

One more week of school

[upbeat plank]

One more week of work ;-;

[bitter igloo]

i only have a driving lesson and then some first aid stuff, this week

[fair kite]

I’m going for my lisence soon lol. Couple months give or take

[bitter igloo]

nice

[green delta]

Definitely gonna smell roses.. gonna explore every inch of the game 😬

[bitter igloo]

i only have a few lessons left until im done

[fair kite]

Niceee

[lost nacelle]

I’m getting my permit tomorrow

[fickle anchor]

for how long you can play this game, I mean, I hope you don't finish it within one day or something

xD

[upbeat plank]

Me when I get lost in Hogwarts bc I ignored the story to explore

[bitter igloo]

cool 🙂

[fickle anchor]

I pray for story to be long

[mossy gorge]

nah you won't be able to finish it in 1 day x)

[lost nacelle]

Yeah

[fair kite]

30-40 hours story. 100+ completionist

[green delta]

It’s gonna take over 100+ hours to fully complete

[fair kite]

^

[lost nacelle]

Yeah

[fickle anchor]

okay, and is there anything to do besides story solely?

like tame pets, achievements, etc

[fair kite]

It took the director 80 hours and he knows the game inside and out

[mossy gorge]

A - Lot

[lost nacelle]

Side stories

[fair kite]

Yes

[upbeat plank]

I wonder if the 55gb update was true

[fair kite]

There are over 100 side quests

[fickle anchor]

great, because I wonder if should I buy it

xD

[lost nacelle]

That’s very huge

[fickle anchor]

I hope for a lot of monsters too!

[mossy gorge]

it is not

[upbeat plank]

Hopefully

[fair kite]

The game is 85GB total not including day one patch

[fossil patio]

it is true wtf are you saying

[mossy gorge]

it is not

[mossy gorge]

it is not

[fossil patio]

it's an update

[upbeat plank]

I feel videos have already made videos talking about the update though

[green delta]

Depending on difficulty, will depend on how many hours… I’m going for hard

[mossy gorge]

it's not an update

[fair kite]

It isn’t an update. It’s a part of the download.

[mossy gorge]

xbox got the wrong version of the game, so they dont get an update, just the "right" version, a new game download

[fair kite]

Xbox takes parts of storage like that at a time

[fickle anchor]

nightmare mode pls

[young moss]

are steam getting a pre load?

[fossil patio]

oh my bad

[mossy gorge]

no

[upbeat plank]

I'm def going on easy mode bc I just like to explore and enjoy the story ngl

[fair kite]

Nope

[bitter igloo]

nope

[green delta]

As far as I’m aware. Hard is the hardest difficulty.. unless there’s be an addition I’m unaware of?

[fickle anchor]

so that means even if I buy with 72 hrs early access I cant play it on steam?

😦

[fair kite]

The combat already look pretty difficult

In normal it looks like you can die in a couple hits

[mossy gorge]

you can definitely play 72 hours early access, you just won't be able to download it before that date

[fickle anchor]

so what did you guys mean with pre load ? 😅

[green delta]

Trust me. Even normal difficulty will be somewhat challenging… look at the combat potential. There’s so many combo’s at use, it’ll take a good few hours to even learn it

[fair kite]

No you just have to download the game once it’s out

[mossy gorge]

preloads get to download it now, or on the 5th, and then play from the 7th on

[upbeat plank]

You can play early access.
If you bought deluxe edition then it'll be downloadable on the 7th.
Unless stuff takes three days for you to download a game for you xd

[fickle anchor]

got fast net so

yeah, Imma get deluxe

cuz I want to play on 7th

🧑🏻‍🍳

[fair kite]

Most people are getting deluxe

[mossy gorge]

on pc they are scared of data miners, so we won't get to download the game before the 7th, but we'll definitely get access on the 7th

[twin dagger]

Ummm..., well I paid for digital deluxe edition... Whatever full name it was... For pc over steam... It shows launch date on 10th on steam... So will it be available for me to download on 7th?

[upbeat plank]

Yes

[fickle anchor]

yeah wondered the same

[twin dagger]

Gotcha!

[mossy gorge]

digital deluxe can download and play on the 7th

[river solstice]

I saw some of the gameplay. I originally thought it was gonna be stiff since some of the NPCs are sorta waiting for their turn, but as I've seen more combat, it'll definitely be unnoticeable since there's just so much going on from deflecting, dodging, combos, etc

[fickle anchor]

is this somewhat confirmed by officials?

[mossy gorge]

100%

[river solstice]

Yeah, it's a part of it

72 hours early play I think

[fickle anchor]

🙏🏻

[mossy gorge]

it's what we paid for

[fair kite]

Watching normal people play it shows it’s actually really nice. I think they nailed combat in this game

[midnight cairn]

So no one is gonna play on hard mode?

[fair kite]

Some people will

[fossil patio]

Ima play on hard mode

[mossy gorge]

I will save that for some challenge on my next playthroughs

[river solstice]

Yeah, I was hesitant at first but I'm really enjoying it now. I absolutely love it. Chandler was right about how other showcases of it was from someone who was already a pro

[midnight cairn]

In gonna first time olay hard mode

To enjoy the grind

[green delta]

Hard only for me

[chilly oracle]

I will not be on hard 😔

[fair kite]

Mhm. Even in normal difficulty you die in 4-5 hits

[river solstice]

I was gonna do like Fall-Winter on normal to get used to it, than spring-summer on hard

[upbeat plank]

Tbh the most hard mode in this game I accept is the lock picking mechanic.
Easy mode ez choice for me so I won't rage at combat lol

[river solstice]

The lock picking really confuses me tbh

[upbeat plank]

Like I already suck at lock picking in Skyrim

[chilly oracle]

Yeah I tend to rage when I do combat as well

So leaving the hard mode for later

[young moss]

does anyone know if the mission in the gameplay is the first mission in the game because they seem to mention before events

[green delta]

Tbf that Alohomora spell/mini game looks quite difficult

[chilly oracle]

It's not

[river solstice]

If you mean the poppy one, it's not the first

[chilly oracle]

They skipped into the game

[young moss]

ah right

[river solstice]

Yeah, I think they're hiding it on purpose so we get to experience it ourselves

[fair kite]

It is a main mission though

[mossy gorge]

nah it's just spinning 1 circle until you see movement in the mechanism on the right, then you spin the other circle until you see movement in the mechanism in the middle and you're done

[twilit hull]

It really doesn't.

It'll be easier than skyrim master locks

[upbeat plank]

It sure doesn't look that way lmao

[river solstice]

Tbh, those locks weren't too hard either once u got used to it

It was a bit frustrating at times tho

[mossy gorge]

it looks very difficult but it's in fact just really too detailed for what it is 😛

[fair kite]

It took people like a minute to figure out the lock

[twilit hull]

Just move the sticks to the positions. Easy, no wand breaking or nothing

[upbeat plank]

All of the gameplay videos from people who got to play early looked like they struggled with lock picking

[river solstice]

I hope it's more intuitive when the game releases, cuz I heard from retro that you gotta HOLD both sticks when moving it around

[mossy gorge]

that was probably more the controls than the lock itself
