‼-spoilers-general-‼

[green delta]

Tbf it looks easy because the devs gave them little tips

[fair kite]

Well yeah they never played it before. Everyone will struggle until they get used to it

That’s basically puzzles for you

[green delta]

Probably just falls down to multitasking.. having to control both joysticks at the same time

[river solstice]

Yeah it'll probably get easier overtime. It's like Skyrim/fallout's lock picking prob

[fair kite]

Nah it’s actually a lot different

[river solstice]

I honestly don't fully get it yet but you're probably right

[twilit hull]

Tbf, it's just like a twin stick shooter lol

[green delta]

It’ll become more understandable, when you play the game.

[upbeat plank]

I hope the puzzles in HL aren't nearly as annoying as the ones in star wars Jedi fallen order ngl.
I hate the whole "make things unnecessarily complicated" thing when it comes to puzzles in these types of games

[twilit hull]

People just wasn't expecting to have a mini game to it

[river solstice]

I don't mind if it's complicated, I just hope there's enough information where you could solve it without using a guide all the time

[green delta]

It’s a good addition though.. just like the special chest with the eye. That threw off a few people

[twilit hull]

The lock mini game had no information is the problem

[river solstice]

Yeah, I hope there's a good tutorial or explanation when we see it for the first time

[upbeat plank]

Same

[twilit hull]

That is if there's more to it than twin sticking it

[round vortex]

I imagine its because they went into a demo where the tutorial for it happened towards the start of the game

So it was just there

[green delta]

There will be tutorials. Like when you watch the footage of the duels.. it gives hints etc

[round vortex]

Yeah for sure

[sour tundra]

This is the only info that displayed on the screen during the lockpicking mini-game.

[round vortex]

I think there's bigger concerns that's a lock mini game but that's just me

I'm sure they'll be addressed in full tutorials

[twilit hull]

Self explanatory

[graceful wedge]

I like this minigame. I know that alohomora is a spell but I don't mind something that will require a couple of seconds

For me it would be borring just pressing square to open all lock doors

[twilit hull]

It's just like doing spells in order of the phoenix

It's about twin stick positions

[green delta]

Anyways. On this delightful note, goodnight all👋🏻👋🏻

[river solstice]

Gn mate!!

[graceful wedge]

Imagine when you wake up its gonna be 8 days for HL

[twilit hull]

Imagine when you wake up and it's delayed

[river solstice]

So I was looking at Wizard Tricks video, and I found this.

WARNING: This might imply spoilers for our character's backstory, so don't click this if you don't want to know anything about it

It appears to be a Hogwarts Acceptance Letter

Here's my thoughts || do you guys think that maybe we are squibs/muggle Borns who suddenly got magic? This really does imply we suddenly got this magic since we have to hone it. And what happened to our parents? Why are we in London? There really is a lot of stuff here ||

[twilit hull]

Leak? Or

[river solstice]

No it was part of an official video

[twilit hull]

Oh

Ok

How have I not seen this

[river solstice]

I can link the video

https://youtu.be/jhZfE163qI4

It's from a YouTuber, so I'm pretty sure it's official. If it does count as a leak, I'll delete it immediately

[mossy gorge]

im pretty sure this is a leak, could be wrong though

[mossy gorge]

offical like Warner Brothers?

[latent sable]

He's in the Studio

[river solstice]

I mean, it depends. I'll go by Retro Rancoteur's philosophy. It's from WB since they gave the perms to preview and post this

[warped hare]

its real

[river solstice]

But they didn't post this on the WB official website

Or HL channel

[queen shore]

UGH

the game comes out a week after my birthday

[mossy gorge]

that it's real doesn't mean it's definitely not a leak, and leaks are not permitted here

[sour tundra]

I haven't seen any of the other people who went to the preview show the letter like that so I am curious if he was supposed to show it or not. Two other people who did the preview had to remove content they showed that they weren't supposed to.

[warped hare]

its not a leak

[river solstice]

Yeah I can remove it if you'd like, I'm legit not sure either

I just found it interesting

[vast flare]

yeah ive never seen that letter

[mossy gorge]

ok then I pull back my concerns 😄

[fossil patio]

I've seen the letter before dw @river solstice

[warped hare]

see i have the same

[river solstice]

Ah okay thx

[misty rivet]

It’s the spoiler chat, it’s allowed to talk about everything which was shown in showcases and review videos

[mossy gorge]

was just trying to figure out if it was a in fact a spoiler or a leak, leaks are not permitted here

[sour tundra]

It makes me even more excited for the game, though. We're so close...

[misty rivet]

Not a leak but maybe unseen material for some people because it was taken from a review video. Not a permitted spoiler.

[warped hare]

i think it was in wizard tricks video

[river solstice]

Defo, legit can't wait

[sour tundra]

Yeah, that's the video he linked to. It's just interesting because I haven't seen any other videos showing it.

[misty rivet]

Tbh it’s not surprising to get a hogwarts letter, common.

Highly recommend and predictable things aren’t spoilers for me, at all

[river solstice]

It's interesting that it says "hone" your spell casting. I feel like that implies something if we have to practice first

[mossy gorge]

the fact that we got a letter might not be surprising, but it was also confirmed by the devs. the into the letter contains could be a spoiler, or a leak

[warped hare]

yeah i seen this one too

[mossy gorge]

but we found out its a spoiler, so all good

[sour tundra]

It's not too spoilery anyway.

[sour tundra]

I saw that yesterday, haha. I love these kinds of little details.

[misty rivet]

Pretty sure this letter just is part of the prologue. Doesn’t spoiler anything, I’m even more hyped for this game

[mossy gorge]

I know right, I love the detailed eye for the lore in every nook and cranny of the game

[shut trellis]

What’s dis about

[mossy gorge]

dis

[misty rivet]

The acceptance letter

[chilly oracle]

I actually have no idea what that is

[river solstice]

Nothing much, just our acceptance letter

[chilly oracle]

Or where it comes from lol

[sour tundra]

It's from a YouTuber who was at the preview apparently. WizardTricks.

[misty rivet]

From Hogwarts ❤️

[river solstice]

^

DAMN, I just watched a bit more into wizard tricks video and saw him get launched off the cliff lmao

[sour tundra]

You can see it around the 1:40 mark on his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhZfE163qI4

[river solstice]

Poor guy

[misty rivet]

Bought my first wand (noble collection) today can’t wait to setup my living room, for the release

[shut trellis]

Oh yeah

[sour tundra]

That will be me, getting launched off the cliff.

[river solstice]

Sounds awesomeee

[sour tundra]

Very nice, which one did you get?

[chilly oracle]

I see it now

Ooo

[warped hare]

I found this earlier too

[shut trellis]

I do wonder weather we go to Diagon Alley I have my doubts because in the first trailer it seems we take a cart to Hogwarts and if your in Diagon Alley you have to take the train to hogwarts!

[misty rivet]

Get some merch, sandwiches, beer or soda , maybe friends with voice chat and enjoy your first steps into the castle

[shut trellis]

Looks like a cool spot

[queen shore]

I doubt it since hogsmeade is crucial

[river solstice]

Defo sounds like a plan

[misty rivet]

The death eater model: Skull

[shut trellis]

It’s only really because we’ve seen Gringotts in the trailer I have hope

[warped hare]

i got that one

[jaunty latch]

It's a darn shame that they didn't include the Viaduct Courtyard Bridge

[shut trellis]

I’m hoping that when it rains you can hear it in the common rooms

[misty rivet]

Nice

[shut trellis]

Is Ravenclaw the common room which is high up in the castle?

[latent sable]

Yes

[buoyant basalt]

Yeah up in one of the towers

[latent sable]

And Gryffindor I think, not a 100% sure

[mossy gorge]

yeah gryffindor is also in a tower

[green delta]

Love this pre-swim animation. Quite realistic

[misty rivet]

at the top of the towers, at the dungeons

[wintry spear]

Gryffindor is supposed to be in the highest tower from what I know

[jaunty latch]

iirc this is it

[mossy gorge]

I think that's dumbledore's *headsmasters office

[wintry spear]

Atleast from the trailers where they talk about the common rooms, that is what they mention

[misty rivet]

Is your profile picture AI?

[jaunty latch]

oh, i thought in the older games they always referenced those as the gryf common rooms

you're prob right tho

[mossy gorge]

yes

[misty rivet]

Ok, wow. Looks really realistic

[mossy gorge]

MidJourney gives great results 😄

made this one by adding my own picture to the prompt

[misty rivet]

Tbh I don’t know how this works, someo helped me with mine

[wintry spear]

I see from a google search that people have marked locations on the outside to show where the towers are, but that's from the movies XD

[misty rivet]

Same. Used the profile from the Fan Club which was based on myself

[wintry spear]

I should have done that too XD
Ran out of trial though but let's see :v

Albeit I got some from another and just keep it on me to use later

[opaque quiver]

Train to Hogsmede cart to the castle*

Anyone got the leak of Spells?

[sour tundra]

We aren't permitted to talk about leaks on this server.

[opaque quiver]

Awe. Didn’t realize. I’ll go find somewhere else. Sorry I came from a YouTube video that mentions this and was like this server? But clearly not. I’ll hush up now

[sour tundra]

No need to feel bad. You didn't know. I was just telling you.

[quick basalt]

Doesn't seem like MC takes the train or the carriages though. From the reveal trailer we arrive in a flying carriage

[twilit hull]

They also take a railcart to in a bank I assume based on movies and books lor wise. So maybe we get some sort of inheritance that is used to pay for our wands

And books

Like potter did

[river solstice]

I thought the minsitry was going to pay it off for us, or at least that's what I thought was implied in the letter

Acceptance letter*

[twilit hull]

Maybe

Either way

[river solstice]

Ah, yeah we'll end up in the bank either way

[round vortex]

We made our fortune in Hogcoin

all investments

[twilit hull]

Oh right

[river solstice]

Does anyone know if the wizarding world's economy was also impacted by inflation/the great depression?

[lost nacelle]

https://www.twitch.tv/hectichabiib

this guy is streaming gameplay

[round vortex]

He was just banned

[lost nacelle]

who

[round vortex]

the guy leaking gameplay

dont watch it or support it

[lost nacelle]

oh fun

[lost nacelle]

aight, ill try to find people doing it and report them

[round vortex]

I am sure WB and the mod team will appreciate it

the mystery of hogwarts is majority of the excitement

best not to ruin it

[lost nacelle]

of course, doing the best I can to preserve it

[burnt temple]

i just thought he was streaming the gameplay that's already on youtube from when youtubers got to play the game early

[round vortex]

I thought that, but he is streaming 10 min segments to avoid twitch banning

someone else was doing it on youtube today

people are just so impatiant

[river solstice]

Damn, what is up with people like that?

[round vortex]

Anything for clout and views

[lost nacelle]

idk they like to leak

[round vortex]

people on tik tok been doing it for days

[burnt temple]

haha deleted tiktok a while ago for that reason

[round vortex]

I am waiting like everyone else to play, discover and make content. People like that ruin it for us all.

[river solstice]

I'm legit scared for this week leading to release, there's bound to be a some people who got their hands on a copy and leaking story, gameplay, etc.

[lost nacelle]

the same guy is doing it again

[bright bison]

Im not saying amit wont be a companion, im saying i believe he wont be a locked companion, he will be one that you need to do a relationship questline to earn him as a companion, but who knows he may be a locked companion like the other 3

[river solstice]

I REALLY hope that maybe there's a Ravenclaw companion we don't know about

[round vortex]

Retailers have it, so its time to go radio silent on tik tok and twitter

[river solstice]

yeah definitely

[burnt temple]

i'm sure there's someone putting that out on twitter somewhere

[river solstice]

Damn, I'm so glad I don't use Twitter anymore

[round vortex]

Sadly have to for life reasons /content/work

so use mute best you can

[lost nacelle]

he keeps going live

yall wanna all start reporting him

[round vortex]

Already did

[river solstice]

Reporting him sounds like fun, sure

[lost nacelle]

want the link?

[river solstice]

Definitely

[lost nacelle]

https://www.twitch.tv/hectichabiib

[river solstice]

Thx mate

[lost nacelle]

dont thank me, we have work to do xd

[river solstice]

Yeah true xD

[lost nacelle]

im gonna follow so i can type in chat to tell him to stop

[river solstice]

Gl with that

[agile copper]

[round vortex]

Going to follow him, warn him and if hes an ass. Just report and hope for the best.

[alpine chasm]

What's wrong with him streaming gameplay?

[lost nacelle]

he said he's review it

reviewing

[round vortex]

Yeah just saw he is claiming its gameplay from previews

still NOT his content

if so

[lost nacelle]

yeah

exactly

[round vortex]

So either way its report worthy

He is clearly clout chasing making out he is playing for views

stealing someones content is never cool

[lost nacelle]

i got him to change the title

to review

[agile copper]

Lmao

[lost nacelle]

Mans not gonna end out well

[opaque quiver]

What would we report it as?

[halcyon haven]

He changed it to Review Walk-through

[quartz lake]

From what I saw when I went in there

It was literally the poppy quest

that everyone posted somewhere

[halcyon haven]

Nvm he shut it down...wasn't getting enough views lol

[warped hare]

i reported it to the owner of the video

[halcyon haven]

I bet the owner was not happy

[warped hare]

the original owner of the video is this https://www.youtube.com/@MKIceAndFire

[halcyon haven]

He's back with another one lol

[sour tundra]

I was just about to ask if you'd post this. Thanks!

[opaque quiver]

I have been avoiding YouTube, this discord, and anything related to this game. I just saw a Creator Breaches NDA?! On YouTube and was curious but pretty sure it’s clickbait

[quartz lake]

Why are you in the spoiler channel then

this is literally for spoilers

For the people that got to play 2 hours of the game

And were allowed to post videos of it

[halcyon haven]

Be nice if we could get a demo...not gonna happen though

[quartz lake]

Which are all the pinned messages

if you truly don’t want spoilers I’d mute this channel LOL

[opaque quiver]

I’m not looking at the pinned just saw the twitch link and then the conversation got to *insert Micheal Jackson popcorn GIF)

[fresh gust]

The channel is literally called spoilers general

[quartz lake]

Yes but you said you are avoiding stuff related to the game so therefore don’t look in this channel

[fresh gust]

[opaque quiver]

True true. I did look at a screenshot and not sure how I like the enemies hp bar

[fresh gust]

I completely forgot, are we getting another preview this Wednesday?

[quartz lake]

I believe so? Not sure

I just know they do giveaways on Wednesdays

[fresh gust]

Okay thanks, no worries.

I'll stop being lazy and look for some info lol

[quartz lake]

I just look at HL official twitter

I have the notifications on for when they tweet

[warped hare]

playstation says watch a trailer on the 1st dont know ifs going to be a few trailer or an old one

[halcyon haven]

Still 1 more week

[fresh gust]

1st is this Wednesday isn't it?

[warped hare]

yeah

[fresh gust]

Ah okay thank you

[warped hare]

7 Days left for those on PS for Pre download

[fresh gust]

I think I heard Hollow say in his first preview that was a second one coming this Wednesday

Thank god it's auto downloading on the 5th

(For deluxe)

[warped hare]

on the 4th for some of the 5th for others 5th for the uk for me

some people are getting mixed dates

[fresh gust]

Yeah 2 days is fine for me, everyone plays it on the same day anyways so I'm not bothered

[upbeat plank]

I really feel like we don't need anymore trailers ngl.
Unless it's another cinematic one but still

[quartz lake]

Nah I just like watching it all it makes my heart happy

[fresh gust]

I like the fact if there is more cause then it gives me the impression that the game is massive.

[warped hare]

Dont forget to go grab these for doing the quest for PlayStation

[fresh gust]

I bet the Hogwarts Preview itself wasn't a quarter of the game

[fresh gust]

What's this?

[warped hare]

for PlayStation house cup

[fresh gust]

Oh?

[warped hare]

https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/games/hogwarts-legacy/#house-cup

[fresh gust]

Not heard of that yet

[warped hare]

are you on PlayStation

[fresh gust]

Oh well thanks for informing me, I'll take a look now

A chance to win collectors edition eh?

Sounds good for a friend

[warped hare]

yeah

thats only open to the uk and us

[queen shore]

when do final reviews come out?

[warped hare]

No news on that yet

[faint bear]

So has anyone able to pre load the game that pre ordered the delux from games stop?

[alpine chasm]

Black kills Poppy

[warped hare]

i just found this so does mean we will have one in game ??

[queen shore]

Volubilis Potion is the answer

[warped hare]

its not out till the 8th of feb that question

[outer bolt]

Having to play a mini game outside of the game is kinda suss other than house sorting and wand on pottermore and u dont HAVE to play it lol

[neat remnant]

what minigame

[fresh gust]

Playstation users get some sort of exclusive potion pamphlet

Or the potion itself I forgot

[warped hare]

you get the recipe for liquid luck

[ashen pendant]

I want to know what all the potions do

[neat remnant]

which reveals extra loot chests for one day

[warped hare]

yeah 1 In-game day

[neat remnant]

felix felicis, liquid luck

But I heard that playstation users get to use that special shop in hogsmeade to get a better deal out of various shop stuff

[ashen pendant]

hmm

[warped hare]

yeah

[ashen pendant]

I think it will be available to everyone later on hopefully

[neat remnant]

you just have to do the mission to unlock it

[warped hare]

to sell things too

[neat remnant]

yeah

[warped hare]

yeah after 1 year

[fresh gust]

All playstation exclusive stuff is available to other consoles after a year

Including PC

[ashen pendant]

I kind of hate that and I’m a PS player

[warped hare]

not for recipe

[neat remnant]

what are you calling a console, mudblood!

[ashen pendant]

lol

[neat remnant]

Its just Sony getting a better deal

[fresh gust]

I know

I have it preordered on ps5 ready

[ashen pendant]

If you could have 1 feature added at some point to the game what would it be, for me I would like co-op to be added but I know it won’t happen 🥲

[fresh gust]

Diagon alley + Gringotts

[ashen pendant]

Pc will probably have a mod for this, but still

[neat remnant]

Well, at least Im not someone who ordered thousand bucks physical collectors edition of some sort and has to wait a month for it to be delivered while everyone else is playing already

This literally happened with CP2077 😂

maybe not for that price tho

[ashen pendant]

let’s be honest the collectors edition is lack luster

a “floating” book 😂

[neat remnant]

a wand

which floats over a book

[ashen pendant]

Well

still meh

For that price at least

[fresh gust]

It is so over priced anyway

[warped hare]

this is the outfit you get for completing the Hogsmeade shop quest

[fresh gust]

Thats plastic

[ashen pendant]

maybe a highly detailed statue of a in game character would have been better or just small memorabilia and all that

[fresh gust]

I love that

[feral locust]

wish it wasnt exclusive to playstation

[neat remnant]

ungh, Im jelly a little

[ashen pendant]

Reminds me of the mad hatter

[warped hare]

you can get it after a year the quest

[neat remnant]

do you people know the story of the term "mad hatter"?

[feral locust]

a year is a long time

[ashen pendant]

I wonder if there will be DLCs later on

[neat remnant]

where its from

[warped hare]

what

[ashen pendant]

I only said that because it looks like the guy from wonderland

But I don’t know actually

[neat remnant]

Yeah, but originally the writer had the idea from people who used to treat animal pelts with, iirc quicksilver. Those fur sellers got heavy metal poisoning from it, so they had shaky hands

[ashen pendant]

interesting

[neat remnant]

kinda imagine them looking like our pal Wormtail

[warped hare]

who seen this about the cave under the castle

[ashen pendant]

ooo

[ashen pendant]

What’s the original video?

[warped hare]

let me grab it

[ashen pendant]

alright

[warped hare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sLQmY6QJ6w

this one

[ashen pendant]

thanks

I’ll haven’t binge watched all gameplay videos, but I feel like I will soon 😂

[warped hare]

yeah

[sharp dune]

There’s going to be sooo many secrets in this game.

[ashen pendant]

I can easily spend 10 hours just exploring and ignoring the main quest

I did it with Witcher 3, 😅

[neat remnant]

I used to play Skyrim by completely ignoring the main quest. Just not return that tablet to the... cant remember the city. But if you didnt do that then Dragons never spawned to the world.

[ashen pendant]

hm

[neat remnant]

And you could explore without being pestered by dragons

[ashen pendant]

How is skyrim nowadays I only played it once a long time ago

[neat remnant]

I have no idea whens the last time I played it

I remember enjoying the vampire DLC though

[ashen pendant]

Or am I thinking of elder scrolls I don’t remember the difference

[dreamy pawn]

Interesting, a new trailer penned in for 2nd feb?

[neat remnant]

I was also a vampire in Elder scrolls online but it was somewhat less fun cause you dont have any issues in sunlight

[ashen pendant]

sounds like you can get really immersed though

[neat remnant]

?

[ashen pendant]

Like really into the game

[neat remnant]

which game?

[ashen pendant]

might be something we’ve seen considering the other trailers

[ashen pendant]

ESO

[neat remnant]

I suppose. ESO had the best lockpicking minigame I know of at least.

[ashen pendant]

I may try it one of these days

I’m not too big into mmos since they do require a lot of farming and such

Or just grinding in general

[neat remnant]

I found out that the DLC is not all that great... most places feel the same

[ashen pendant]

But I do play 2 mmos I think it’s enough for me for now😂

[feral locust]

that's cool is the mission still a PS5 pre order exclusive?

[neat remnant]

yes

[feral locust]

damn man

[warped hare]

but you get it after 1 year

[feral locust]

Very well, I pre ordered for PC so I'm waiting, very hopeful for this game.

[warped hare]

yeah alot of secrets

[ashen pendant]

I haven’t bought anything yet because I’ve been kind of procrastinating the purchase, but I’m thinking of getting the deluxe maybe

[feral locust]

oop

[warped hare]

Go for deluxe its best for 72 hour early access

[ashen pendant]

Well it won’t matter to me since I’m on last gen

[warped hare]

oh Ps4 or xbox

[ashen pendant]

But I’m thinking of getting it anyway since I could get 2 copies

[feral locust]

I purchased the Deluxe and I'm very glad they're doing it this way

[ashen pendant]

ps4

[warped hare]

you can still get the 2 pre order bonus

if you dont pre order you dont get them

[ashen pendant]

it gives the ps4 and ps5 digital version so I was thinking if I upgrade consoles in the future, i won’t have to buy the game again

[warped hare]

yeah

[ashen pendant]

after release I guess it will change

[warped hare]

maybe

[edgy basin]

Apparently there is a pretty big visual downgrade if u compare the game on 30 fps to 60 fps

[river solstice]

Is there? I don't find it very noticeable

[feral locust]

how come you can play?

[edgy basin]

Yeah I saw some side to side comparisons and now I can’t unsee it lol

[ashen pendant]

It’s not his, it’s a video on YouTube

[warped hare]

No

[feral locust]

Ohh lol

[river solstice]

K, I'll take that as a warning to not compare them

It'd probably ruin it for me since I legit can't see what's much different besides the fps

[twilit hull]

That feels like a leak since the devs were teasing the hell out of it XD but I know you wouldn't post leaks so I guess it isnt

[warped hare]

its not a leak as it was in a video

[twilit hull]

That map was in a video but it was a leak 👀

[warped hare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sLQmY6QJ6w

[river solstice]

Wow, the stuff we've seen these days looks so different and much better than the state of play, it's crazy

[warped hare]

From someone that played the game

[river solstice]

Yeah, it's not a leak if it's from an official preview I believe

[warped hare]

yeah

[twilit hull]

Then why do devs call it a leak

We are talking about the world map right

[ivory verge]

It's not a leak if it's officially released or allowed to be released

If it broke NDA (like the map in the one youtube video) it's a leak

Leak is unofficially released, as it implies it "leaked" out

[twilit hull]

Yea, but we're we talking about the map or the hall XD

[ivory verge]

Which map tho

Because there was one in a YT preview video that wasn't supposed to be there supposedly

[twilit hull]

The ... youtube map

[twilit hull]

I felt like you were trying to trick me into sending the map XD

[ivory verge]

I'm not

Why would I do that lmao

There's just been multiple maps and some are leaks, some aren't

[twilit hull]

To test mev🤷‍♂️

[ivory verge]

I just scrolled up and see the hall and that looks like a visual bug that they were able to see it, and it wasn't planned for the preview, so I'd say it's a leak as it wasn't part of the deal the content creators had

[ivory verge]

That would be scummy and baiting? None of us would do that.

Even if you did said it if I asked, I wouldn't punish you for it since I asked

I'd just remove it and be like 'ah yeah that one'

[twilit hull]

Sooooo, it it a leak the hall

[ivory verge]

I would say so since it wasn't supposed to be part of the preview

[twilit hull]

I thpught not

[ivory verge]

We know the hall exists but that shot is kinda cheated in a way

I'll probably just ask tomorrow if we can let it slide or not

[twilit hull]

Yea, just making sure. The team seemed to try very hard to keep it under wraps

[ivory verge]

Thank you for making sure!

[proven sequoia]

@teal field they have some good info in here, I know you like spoilers too

[bitter mango]

I loving so much community 💗 💓

[feral locust]

Is there any leaks on how big the castle interior is? I know the devs have been super selective of what we have seen. But if what we see is pretty much what we get, that’s a huge disappointment

[ashen pendant]

Nah I think it’s way bigger in my opinion

Especially if you only stick to walking or running and no flying

[feral locust]

I hope the interior is big. It would suck if it was just like 2 floors and that’s it

[ashen pendant]

Nah it’s definitely bigger from what I heard

[ivory verge]

Please don't ask for leaks, we do not condone sharing them here

[feral locust]

Meanwhile someone leaked something before. Okay lol

[twilit hull]

I don't see why people don't just be like

Hey, can you dm that leak you are talking about

Instead of

Hey, post it here

[merry vine]

or could just wait a week

[twilit hull]

Nah people don't want to do that

[sharp dune]

I will say this. With the game launching in a week, please be careful on social media.

[warped hare]

well we dont know if its a leak the mods will decide

things alway slip though the gaps and the mods always gets them

[outer bolt]

Floo network will make it faster to get around the castle anyways

[clear osprey]

time for a medically induced coma

[storm cloud]

take me with you

[ivory verge]

Yeah, doesn't mean it's allowed - we don't catch everything

[sly plume]

[steep pecan]

😔

[twilit hull]

Honestly, might try graphical mode, never had a problem with 30 fps

Blasphemy I know

[valid forum]

Hope the stairs move

[valid forum]

30fps looks better lmaoo

[crude osprey]

of course it looks better. Because of having less frames the textures, lightning and overall are better.

[steep pecan]

👆

[crude osprey]

The performane mode (60fps) sacrifices a bit of that to maintain a better framerate

[valid forum]

Mhm

[latent sable]

Usually it doesn't change that much

I think it's because of the time of the day

[steep pecan]

60 fps looks so bad

[latent sable]

Usually it changes mainly the resolution

[steep pecan]

maybe

[crude osprey]

It doesnt change that much, as you can also see in these pictures. Difference is almost non existent apart from a bit better textures

[valid forum]

Exactly

[crude osprey]

Doesnt look "bad" at all. its just more dark.

[valid forum]

IT'S DOG

[twilit hull]

Probably pc users

[crude osprey]

My guy even the textures are almost the same. And everything else too, it is darker because of the day time.

[broken scroll]

Will the game have Deathly Hallows?

[valid forum]

Ok

[latent sable]

Seems so

There's an achievement about getting one of them

[crude osprey]

Always some people who take pictures that are different to make it look bad, so funny lmao

[broken scroll]

OMG

[twilit hull]

Tho I think that is a leak but I can deny more than confirm that

[latent sable]

I think it's official now

[twilit hull]

The list? Never

Not under NDA

[latent sable]

I'm pretty sure I saw a mod saying that it's ok now

[twilit hull]

Hmmmm

Okkkk

[latent sable]

Here @twilit hull

[feral locust]

People are already playing the game so by tomorrow honestly expect a ton more spoilers

[twilit hull]

Oh ok, thanks for the confirmation

[shy ingot]

are we allowed to discuss leaks

here

[latent sable]

No

[shy ingot]

ok jw

[rotund plover]

Am I being dumb? Both of those pictures look fine with the 30fps having shadows cranked up and looking nice... is that wrong?

[latent sable]

Weird thing that we have the %

[twilit hull]

Some break in and take copies too

Or retail workers

Or even it was the reviewers

[latent sable]

It's on epic

Just digital and the ~~reviewers ~~ (I was thinking about the people that played the preview)played on the PS5

I'm really confused

[twilit hull]

Oh really

Well still

It's probably reviewers

Maybe

Or the devs?

[latent sable]

Maybe

[twilit hull]

There are PC reviewers you do know that.

They just can't let out the reviews until fed 7

[latent sable]

Yeah, I was thinking just about the people that played the preview

[feral locust]

Review copies are definitely 100% out and quite honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if some are from the YouTubers who went to the event

I know they said they didn’t get it. But let’s be honest. People lie all the time

[latent sable]

Still, it would be uncommon to the reviewers have played that much

[twilit hull]

Well

[hasty moss]

What the

[latent sable]

Some of them have probably got a 100%

[hasty moss]

So the percentage was a lie all along?

[latent sable]

Maybe

[hasty moss]

smh

[rotund plover]

It's probably internal testing(including the influencers playtime visit) and the percent is just wrong

[twilit hull]

People would be testing achievements

[rotund plover]

And I'm pretty sure they'd have to disclose if the company gave them anything, money or otherwise because of FTC guidelines. At least the American creators would

[twilit hull]

Sony doesn't want you to buy on PC. They want you to buy on PS lol

[rotund plover]

Jokes on them, I bought it for both, take that Sony

Wait...

[twilit hull]

Lol

You stick it to em

[hasty moss]

I already gave Sony money, take that Sony

[twilit hull]

Didn't expect that, did ya sony

[hasty moss]

[feral locust]

They can disclose that a review copy was provided when the embargo lifts or they drop a review if they choose to do so, but they don’t need to say it before

[sly plume]

Will the game be updated over time or is the full release soon

[valid forum]

Stroke that thing HL

[dark flicker]

I guess that there will be updates over time, no game is perfect when being released so first updates will probably will contain bugs fixed etc.

[sly plume]

i mean content wise

[dark flicker]

Guess that it depends on what the game’s succes is 🍀

[robust fjord]

those stats are wrong

unless Epic only sold like a few hundred copies and somehow reviewers playing it over there

[rotund plover]

The topic was about them receiving financial compensation

[feral locust]

There are tons of YouTubers who get paid to review games and are still honest about it. Tmartn and Hollow to name a few.

[rotund plover]

Um, you're arguing something I didn't voice a disagreement with

The topic was someone saying they were secretly getting paid to be positive about the game in videos when they reviewed it

and me disagreeing

Although it looks like some of the discussion got yeeted, doesn't surprise me, it was pretty heated

[tropic shore]

True, true. At this point we can only speculate , but the game is only a week away, so I guess we'll find out soon.

[outer bolt]

A screenshot showing fps is not accurate bc ur not seeing a snapshot of the frames just a screenshot of 1 frame lol dumb original poster dont know what fps means

[rotund plover]

I'm assuming it was taken in good faith to show the difference between Performance and Quality modes which are 30 and 60fps respectively, and on console I think they're locked to that

[foggy imp]

Isent it 12 days

[rotund plover]

72 hour early access with deluxe

[teal shoal]

Did anyone else see if there were sliders in the character creation? I don't recall seeing them but maybe my goldfish brain didn't retain that

[foggy imp]

But that would make it 9 days

[modern night]

8 days for me its already monday here

[twin crow]

Same here.

[quick basalt]

There's no sliders, just face shape options

The options don't seem to be customizable in any way

[jaunty latch]

I think there are voice pitch sliders, and skin tone

[rotund plover]

uh, timezones, they can pull the date forward or back for some people

[quick basalt]

I think they just look like sliders, I don't think they actually are, they seem to snap to increments at least

[rotund plover]

It looks like lots of presets, I didn't see any mod sliders, but there's a decent chunk to choose from

[foggy imp]

Bruh why you in the future

[wary stirrup]

I don't know it's legit... but they claim the reviews will publish a week before the release of the game... again , I don't know if they are legit...

[simple nymph]

I find these comparisons a bit iffy as the previews I’ve seen people experienced very different weather conditions which heavily affected lighting conditions.. so unless it’s the same person swapping between the modes from the same angle I cannot take it as a serious comparison

[simple nymph]

They have said the next embargo lift is February 7th so we won’t be seeing reviews until then

[turbid knot]

on one of the previews they were talking about mounts, and when you unlock the Hippogriff one, which seems to be before the quest previewed with the dragons. There was also a greyed out pic for a ||Graphorn|| one too

also a possibility that there could be a 4th mount maybe

[simple nymph]

I think it’s just to differentiate ground and flying mounts apart from your broom; so you don’t have to swap them around as much

[turbid knot]

I just realized that I could be blind and that could be a thestral

all that forest wouldn't be too ideal for a land mount anyway

cool, but not practical

[quick basalt]

4th one is probably the Thestral

[bright bison]

It kinda look better for 60fps tbh

[turbid knot]

ya, I wouldn't be too picky on quality from previews like this where everyone does something different

wait for digital foundry, who know how to do these comparisons and get variables like time of day and weather identical

[simple nymph]

I am used to games looking low settings because I sadly grew up on bad GPUs until I started making my own money but “60fps” mode honestly looks fine. Zooming in on it, it does look more detailed as well which is weird? That’s why I cannot really trust the comparisons if the main subject of the comparison isn’t being replicated fairly on both screenshots lol

[bright bison]

There is a video too

But understandable, I feel it looks more detailed in performance mode while in fidelity, it has better lighting but idk

I feel performance mode look more smooth and maybe I’m looking for that

But either way they both look fine

[rancid trellis]

anyone scaled the map?

[bright bison]

Just for character and world detail I think performance look better

[rancid trellis]

how big is it compared to other open world games

[bright bison]

It’s huge

Like hugeee that’s what they keep saying

But the castle alone is really big

[simple nymph]

I expect there to be a difference, just don’t think these comparisons are fair; I will definitely be swapping to fidelity for a moment (for screenshots)to then swap back to performance to play 😂

[bright bison]

Good idea

But I’m new to all this because I never cared, you just change it

And automatically switch

You don’t have to download anything or close the game, etc

[radiant trout]

depends sometimes graphics changes require a restart of a game sometimes they do not. it depends on the game

[simple nymph]

From when I played Horizon Forbidden West I could just change these settings in the options menu, I expect it to be the same for Hogwarts Legacy

[bright bison]

Like I have to do it thru the settings in the ps5

Or the game has its own setting

[radiant trout]

game has it own setting

[simple nymph]

The game will have its own settings on PS5

[bright bison]

Oh thank you!

Even better so you don’t have to be closing the app and stuff

Good to know

[simple nymph]

It was quick too, no wait times; of course a different game but I am expecting the execution of it to be similar

[bright bison]

I like what hyunn said about using fidelity for screenshots because of the lighting and stuff and performance for playability because it looks more smooth and the characters look better

And the world tbh more detail

Like the castle and stuff

In the Xpectogo gameplay and a very few that were allowed to play performance

[wide pivot]

i'm really hope that will be interaction with companion, and not about i'm invite friend just for "fighting" and nothing else.

[silk sparrow]

not being funny but what did you expect

the ps5 struggles with fidelity mode but it does look significantly better than performance mode.
Personally i prefer fps, if i was on ps5 i would go performance and soak the visual loss. fidelity looks janky as hell, the drops and stutters are constant and would absolute ybreak the game for me

[outer furnace]

what is more important frame rate or quality

[silk tundra]

What is fidelity mode

I'm gonna play this on the switch and will not even notice a difference

[outer furnace]

fidelity is quality

or maybe native 4k

[solemn saffron]

Thank God I'm on pc. I get high graphics with high fps

[keen monolith]

Yeah also PC, looking forward to this game, it has such amazing graphics

[silk sparrow]

PS5 looks like an old lady struggling to put her shopping in the car on fidelity for this game

[dusk haven]

i'm wondering is day 1 update and initial download for pc 2 in 1 when digital deluxe preorderers get access to it 7th february

[agile flame]

any know how long is campaign will be

[modern night]

Any updates of release time?

[simple nymph]

midnight local

[modern night]

is it confirmed?

[simple nymph]

Few exceptions get access 23:00/11PM on the 6th if they fall into the release zone of a zone close to them

[simple nymph]

Yes, multiple official countdowns confirm this

[modern night]

Hmm okay that would be great 🙂 thanks

[agile flame]

any know how long is campaign will be

[ivory basalt]

Nothing has been said about that no

[simple nymph]

"So we are finding it is hard to put a number on, just based on playstyles. But for a first-time playthrough, if you just go through the mainline, you are looking at a 40 hour plus experience. If you decide that you want to do everything you are at over 100 hours, 120 hours probably." quote from Kelly Murphy (Lead Designer) from a recent interview

[sonic coyote]

As I have heard about 30-40 hours@agile flame

[silk hatch]

I've seen a couple of sources saying around 35 hours, e.g. https://www.pcgamesn.com/hogwarts-legacy/how-long-is-length

[rotund plover]

And he probably means playing normally, like an average person, not speedrunning or skipping through all the dialogs and cutscenes

[sonic coyote]

120 hours worth of gameplay is great 🙂

[rotund plover]

Some people like to play that way, skipping essentially everything, and they think that they'll be able to do that and still somehow get a long playtime, so just saying

[simple nymph]

I get distracted easily so I will probably take longer lmao

[sonic coyote]

Who would skip a story

[rotund plover]

I mean i get it, some people find stories and cutscenes boring, I just wish some of them wouldn't expect super long playtimes when they play it that way

[simple nymph]

Playing a single player story based game to then skip the story makes no sense, speedrunning is different of course

[rotund plover]

Yea, speedrunning is a different kettle of fish

[sonic coyote]

I would not want to skip a single line of dialog

[simple nymph]

I am quite curious about the speedrun tactics that might be found for this game, the skips people can find sometimes is very impressive honestly haha

[rotund plover]

The glitches to speedrun for this game will hopefully be amazing

[sonic coyote]

I have not 100% a game in a long time. I am ready to try for this one. Hopefully my PC can handle it alright 😄

[rotund plover]

Eh, maybe I'm just being cranky about it, if you spent $80 on a game, play it however you want obviously. I just hope you enjoy your time in it

[sour jetty]

Steam can’t pre load right so you’ll have to download it quick af when released

[trail copper]

this comment "good job on taking down a full grown troll" as opposed to a baby one? xD are baby trolls still dangerous?

[feral locust]

“ Oh, the Three Broomsticks and I go way back! Farther back than I care to admit! Ho ho ho. Why I can remember when it was just One Broomstick!.. All hands on deck ”

i don't remember much of slughorn. was he capping?

[feral locust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yv_l_tvZDM

[trail copper]

also, smart to just drink an unattended drink lol

[feral locust]

we can say any kind of spoil here?

and if its extreme spoil?

[feral locust]

its free lol

[umbral karma]

spoilers no leaks tho

[flint portal]

New spoilers ??

[umbral karma]

this week i hope

[flint portal]

Tomorrow probably a video right ??

A week before launch

[umbral karma]

2nd of feb i think some 1 said

this week should be full of stuff

[trail copper]

but that's 4 days away ;w;

[feral locust]

Wonder if they put in alcohol visual blur or not

[umbral karma]

you mean magical effects blur? , were a 5th year

[hasty moss]

Can't wait to get drunk /s

[neat remnant]

personal choice. I just personally cant stand low frame rates anymore.

[outer furnace]

same

[rotund plover]

either frame-rate or some mid-point between the two as long as the framerate is stable for me

[umbral karma]

im intrested to see how far i can push my z800 workstation

[feral locust]

DLC !

[rotund plover]

The dark arts pack

[feral locust]

That ain't DLC

[rotund plover]

If they had said "DLCs" instead of "DLC" it would give me more hope

[feral locust]

think big

[rotund plover]

Wait what, it's dlc

It's content, that you need to download isn't it?

[feral locust]

Quidditch Fifa style

[quick basalt]

Dark arts pack is definitely DLC

[feral locust]

it will come

[rotund plover]

I mean, don't let me rain on your parade, dream big man

[umbral karma]

wizards chess vs i hope

[feral locust]

Additional quest packs, years, graduation, jobs, explorable muggle areas in London, chess, fifa style quidditch, Leaky Cauldron, Knockturn Alley, that about it

horcrux too

[rotund plover]

Maybe this will be the golden timeline that happens in

[feral locust]

diving

[umbral karma]

maybe we need gilly weed to dive

[feral locust]

mhm
you think that's the reason why the reviewers weren't able to? because missing the weed?

[umbral karma]

maybe

[feral locust]

could be
but I think it's just not possible (for now)

[rotund plover]

My guess is they just weren't at one of the set pieces that let you dive

[feral locust]

also good guess, thought this earlier

[rotund plover]

As in, we'll be able to dive, in limited areas or as part of the story for a set piece but not free diving everywhere

[feral locust]

ye got it

for now I am happy that swimming is possible

[umbral karma]

mmm that makes a lot of sense no underwater swimming but diving at set points . yh

[feral locust]

ye I was asking myself earlier: there are caves with water in the game
you should be able to dive at one point

Do you guys think they will remove the area limitation during quests so you can wander about ?

[rotund plover]

My guess is that probably depends heavily on the quest

My theory is that companion quests probably range tether you, so you don't wander off too far with a follower

[feral locust]

area limitation?

[umbral karma]

not likley

[feral locust]

During the preview the player couldn't leave poppy cause there was a 10 sec timer to return

[feral locust]

ahhhh. ok
if it's an escort quest makes sense

I wanna stack accept quests and wander about completing them when I wish

[rotund plover]

I'm betting general quests you can do that in

[feral locust]

I hope

[feral locust]

maybe you can just change the quest you're following in your quest log and then you can roam freely?

[umbral karma]

might be the difference between story quest and free quest i guess

[wide pivot]

Will be cool if first i'm sit, then drink 🙂

[gleaming spear]

“Jobs” 💀💀

[feral locust]

Bounty hunting and dragging ppl to Azkaban would be good radiant quests

[gleaming spear]

Oh ok more sidequests

I thought u were straighr up talking jobs

[feral locust]

question: is there a weight limitation/ limitation to how much you can carry?

[quick basalt]

guy wants to graduate hogwarts and sit behind a desk

[viscid crystal]

Morning everybody, anything I missed last 24h?

[gleaming spear]

Boots the game up for another 8 hours of wand permit checking

[compact skiff]

Bounty hunting would be so cool tho😂I need that hahaha

[gleaming spear]

Idk wait a week and find out

[feral locust]

I prefer knowing now 😄 I know that I have the option to simply wait and find out myself, thanks 🙂

[bright bison]

Swimming looks pretty good actually

I do believe we gonna have a second game in a few years

The game is already a success and isn’t even out lmao and the world is built for it

Some clues too that the npc hints… but first I can see DLC and expansions

This game was made for take money from us but I don’t complain

[feral locust]

am i being stupid or the comparison with the fidelty v performance mode is that in performance mode we are forced to be short hair/bald ?

[wide pivot]

If game will be good, why not, bad when it cut from the game content and call them like "DLC"

[haughty ibex]

No lol

That’s the character they used to compare

[cursive comet]

hmmm what im I gonna share today

what about a sneak peak of the herbology classroom!

[civic nova]

Professor Garlick!

[cursive comet]

fly fly take me away 🎶

[rancid trellis]

so its open world even if im not powerful enough to visit the harder areas?

[gleaming spear]

yes

[gleaming spear]

well you're out o luck cause we have no idea

[viscid crystal]

@cursive comet where you got that shots from/

[cursive comet]

My computer

[jaunty latch]

Woah

[feral locust]

cant wait to have multiple mandrakes

[cursive comet]

i worked it out

if u collected a mandrake every 25 minutes

you'd have 56 in one day

this is why timers are implemented

[feral locust]

oh

so we'll have timers for potions too

[cursive comet]

yes

[feral locust]

at least it wont be grindy like other rpgs, cough Ubisoft

[gleaming spear]

idk how i feel about timers

[cursive comet]

they're actually very generous

overly generous imo

[simple nymph]

I am assuming bottom left is player character because they’re the only one wearing a scarf 🤔😂

[cursive comet]

😉

[feral locust]

So we'll have to collect ingredients then wait for crafting to be done with the timer

[viscid crystal]

Haha but from what youtube vid? I did not saw that greenhouse shot..

[crimson solstice]

Plenty of the previewers went into the herbology class room and Garlick was walking around, same as Hecate in DADA classroom in Showcase II, glad they do that, adds to immersion

[viscid crystal]

link maybe? 🙂

[simple nymph]

I wonder if these timers continue while not playing too

[cursive comet]

yes

those are real minutes

not in game minutes

[simple nymph]

👀 oh yessss

[cursive comet]

so ur day and night cycle wont influence it

if you try to spam sleep to bypass it

[gleaming spear]

oh shame

[simple nymph]

When the game is out i can put some on before going to work and dinner and get some extra stuff that way 😂

[gleaming spear]

but then again if you could bypass a timer why have it at all

i hope the timers aren't too long and you get a good reward from it i.e not just one potion but 5

[feral locust]

so basically theyll real time it in a server

when i power down

[cursive comet]

thats how I understand it yes

[urban schooner]

I'm okay with them. It takes time to grow or brew stuff and the timers convey that message to the player

[cursive comet]

A baby Thestral, one of the many animals u can get via the breeding pen

[gleaming spear]

yeah i just hope i'm not gonna be sitting there waiting for everything to finish y'know

that gets boring quick

[urban schooner]

that's why the timers are there. It shows you you can do other things in the world within those 25 minutes. Like the game wants you to explore and not grind

[gleaming spear]

yeah but if i could just craft the stuff, why does that keep me from exploring

like u say a timer incentivizes exploration but i would argue for the opposite

[feral locust]

cute little bugga

[cinder sky]

Out of curiosity, do you know if we have been showed the breeding pen already?

[cursive comet]

i can show u what it looks like

[cinder sky]

Yes please

[cursive comet]

this should give u rough idea

[cinder sky]

Ah, ok. I take it that's one of the things you can build using those blue stone/crystal things you can harvest in that area?

like with the feeder

[cursive comet]

moonstone

its a material thats scattered all across the world

harvest as much of it as u can, ur gonna need it

FR

[feral locust]

Has there been any new info ?

I can't find anything for past 2 days

[urban schooner]

they generally don't post in the weekend

[feral locust]

On second reflection, how does this work with denuvo? Doesn't that requires internet ?

[cursive comet]

the graphorn is a extremely powerful creature, capable of shrugging of magic like nothing, it can charge into and through anything like objects, enemies and-

[compact skiff]

I am so in love with the thestrals I cant wait😭

[serene frost]

oh it was on ccxp

lol

thats really op, love it

[cursive comet]

😉

[floral timber]

i have a question can we move like this ?

like a death eater or auror

i mean trail of smoke

[cursive comet]

yes

its tied to ur dodge

[floral timber]

but no move ? only dodge

[cursive comet]

think dragon age inquisition fade step

[floral timber]

you can't fly like a death eater ?

there is no spell for this?

[urban schooner]

https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Unsupported_flight

[floral timber]

ok i see thanks

[timber beacon]

yeah this is an apparate combat combo i think

[floral timber]

the color changes according to the story if you are good or bad? or it's only white?

[timber beacon]

we dont know that for sure

[floral timber]

k

[floral timber]

yes thanks

called " Unsupported flight " 🤣

[feral locust]

they should add that lion thing

[timber beacon]

yeah becasue in the books no body can fly like this except voldy 😄

[floral timber]

auror can

[timber beacon]

nope. thats just a film showcase scene for show off. in the lore no one can do this just voldy.

[shut trellis]

Do you guys rekon at night time we can roam the castle and the outside but if we’re caught by a professor we have to go back to bed?

[mossy gorge]

Hiiii @timber beacon 😄

[timber beacon]

Oh hiiii 😛 ❤️ Long time no seen you 🙂 How are you? 🙂

[floral timber]

good question 😄

[cursive comet]

a zouwu?

it would break the engine

they can run up to 1000 miles a day

[simple nymph]

I feel like there is no curfew for this game; I would like there to be some sort of sneak mechanic like they had in the old Xbox games tho 😂

[mossy gorge]

im good, thanks 😄 still 8 days of waiting 🤪 going crazy here 😂 and hows youz?

[shut trellis]

Same if there isn’t I hope it’s not like students roaming the castle like it’s day at 11pm at night

[mossy gorge]

and Hiiiii @cursive comet 😄

[floral timber]

is there some Polyjuice Potion in the game?

[shut trellis]

Hopefully it’s long days and not just 10 minutes for day 5 mins for night

[simple nymph]

There was some preview material from someone and the castle did look very empty late at night but maybe that was just that specific hallway near the library and there could be small crowds elsewhere

[timber beacon]

Same its maddening me 😄 i ordered some butter bears, Berty botts every flawoerd beans, and butter beard gummys as well and a few chocolate frogs for the grand early assess 😄 so the Hype is real here as well :d

[shut trellis]

I sure hope so

[mossy gorge]

oooo thats so cool 😄 you're definitely prepared for the big day 🤓

[shut trellis]

I can’t wait to just explore the restricted section at night and the forbidden Forrest I’ll be intrigued to see how often you need to fight someone in there

[timber beacon]

yepp 😛

[simple nymph]

I am on copium telling myself it’s only another week because I will be staying up to play it at midnight due to me being off the Tuesday anyway 😂 and if I don’t sleep it means it’s still Monday… right? 🤣

[mossy gorge]

saaame xD

[ashen mirage]

@shut trellis watch YouTube videos on the playthrough, the director answers your question

[feral locust]

When can we expect leaked gameplay?

[mossy gorge]

prolly somewhere this week

[simple nymph]

At any given moment honestly; physical copies have been spotted around the world so I would not be surprised if people are playing as we speak

[ashen mirage]

@shut trellis at night, there are less people out because either they are asleep or in their common rooms . makes sense really

[cinder sky]

Do we actually know what time and timezone the game is meant to release on the 10th?

[feral locust]

Anyone order butter beer ? I saw some on Amazon I might order lol

[mossy gorge]

nothing confirmed yet but it seems 00.00 oclock wherever you live

[simple nymph]

Midnight Local for both the early access (7th) and big release (10th)

[feral locust]

save the money imho. not tasting good

[cinder sky]

So does that mean that since I'm in australia, I will get it early than the US for example?

Is that correct or am I misunderstanding

[simple nymph]

Your midnight, yes

[mossy gorge]

correct

but unconfirmed yet by WB

[cinder sky]

So if that is confirmed, then I would be able to start downloading on steam as of midnight on tuesday night

[misty rivet]

Did I miss any news?

[mossy gorge]

I hope not, that would be between 5 and 7 pm for me 😔

[cursive comet]

[simple nymph]

Consoles have their release timers expire at midnight exactly; steam or epic is TBA

[modern night]

Would be logic steam will do the same..

[quick basalt]

It makes sense that steam would do a global release when people are seeing different dates for the release

[simple nymph]

Can’t know for sure unless they speak up about it

[modern night]

but then not everyone would have their 72 hours early acces

[quick basalt]

But they will, if early access releases globally, then so does the main game

[mossy gorge]

would only be like 65 for us

🧐

[modern night]

I don't think they will do that since they literally selling you 72 hours early acces. Would be illegal not to give it then i think,

[mossy gorge]

unless there's different launchtimes on steam for the 10th as well

[quick basalt]

But they are giving it? I don't understand what you mean

[simple nymph]

But you will have the 72 hour early access as the release on the 10th would be on the same clock time as the 7th making it a 72hour difference

[modern night]

If it releases globally but USA time then australian people will have 16 hours less early acces

[quick basalt]

No, because it releases globally

[cinder sky]

See I'm confused because my steam says it releases on the 11th, and I'm in australia

[mossy gorge]

oof thats not a good omen

[crimson spruce]

I’m in the us and it says that it releases on the 10th on steam

[quick basalt]

Because the release date is probably set to some time on the 10th in America, by which time you will be a day ahead, thus on the 11th

[hollow warren]

time zones probs

[modern night]

I don't think you understand what im saying. If it releases globally on 7 feb 0:00 USA time then Australian people are already 16 hours further and have that time less early acces.

[mossy gorge]

this heavily points to global release, which sucks for australia tbh, but yeah global release of the 10th/11th will still make it 72 hour early access, just a day later

[simple nymph]

They will still get that 72 hours either way you put it

[quick basalt]

No you don't understand what I'm saying. cause it would release 10th of February at 0:00 USA time as well.

[hollow warren]

ofc not???? were just not in the same timezones

[crimson spruce]

What time zone in the us

[quick basalt]

You are only applying the global release to the early access, but it would count for both early access and the actual release

so the 72 hours would be upheld

[modern night]

Either way, we still don't know and its still not confirmed. So we can still guess but we just don't know yet.

[buoyant basalt]

i imagine we'll get some concrete info this week

[hollow warren]

do we know what time the early acces release comes out

[modern night]

No we don't

as far as i know

[simple nymph]

For Ps5 it’s midnight locally on the 7th based on the timer in their store when you’ve purchased it

[quick basalt]

We can make an educated guess if most Australians have the release as the 11th

[modern night]

I just think its weird to have ps5 and steam different release times

[simple nymph]

More common that you think, I had my friends play on their consoles already when I had to wait until 8pm to play that same version of the game just because of steam

It sucks but nothing I could do about it

[hollow warren]

7/2/2023 01:00 CET early acces

ps

[buoyant basalt]

i just hope my physical pre order arrives on time 😬

[quick basalt]

Living dangerously

[misty rivet]

Avada Kedavra- Feel the Rush

[buoyant basalt]

hah, maybe i get it early and i'm playing before you digital people!

[quick basalt]

That's the trade-off haha

[buoyant basalt]

either way, it was cheaper 🤷‍♀️ just would be gutted if it arrived late!

[cinder sky]

So if the game does release globally (early access) at midnight on the 7th PST, does that mean that people will have been able to play for 16 or so hours before aussies even get access to it? Because we are effectively living in the future xD

[cursive comet]

The Imperius curse, used to dominate the minds of your enemies, making them fight along side you, for a while.

[buoyant basalt]

no, you'll just have it unlocked at that time equivalent for your time zone

[quick basalt]

on PC it's probably global, based on peoples listed release dates

[buoyant basalt]

you mean local?

[quick basalt]

No I mean global

Since some Australians have the game release listed as the 11th instead of the 10th

[little pond]

Idk why they can’t just release globally on all platforms for the digital

[quick basalt]

My guess is just that WB just sticks with the default for each platform

[halcyon haven]

Kinda wish Avalanche/WB would give us better info because according to the store page on Xbox it says the game releases on Feb 9, 7PM EST. 72 hours early access would put that at Feb 6, 7PM EST. This would coincide with a 0:00 GMT release on Feb 7

[young moss]

i seen an image on twitter of game saves and it says year 1 on one of the saves and year 7 on another. are we going through years because i thought we were starting late

[quick basalt]

We know for sure we are starting in year 5, so that seems like bait

[young moss]

ah fair enough

[cinder sky]

well that definitely doesn't match up with the fact that it says the 11th for me and my timezone is AEDT (australia)

so I'd say it can't be that

[feral locust]

Someone streaming leaked gameplay

[cinder sky]

So it still says it unlocks in 11 days for me on steam, so I can probably keep checking until it says 10 days to know the rough time of when it will release in my time zone on steam at least

[feral locust]

Walking around forbidden forest

[cinder sky]

who? are you sure its leaked and not just from previews?

[feral locust]

They streaming live on twitch

Walking around forbidden forest killing spiders

[cinder sky]

who?

like what is their user

[feral locust]

I'll post the link gimme 1 second

[cinder sky]

idk if you should put the link, in case it is a leak

[quick basalt]

It's probably a global release on steam

[cinder sky]

but what is their user, i don't think they are allowed to be streaming leaked content

at least I thought so anyway

does that link not look real to anyone else?

or am I going crazy?

[warped hare]

<@&755190193367023772>

[cinder sky]

yeah I didn't trust that link at all

[modern night]

Its a rickroll 🤣 nothing else

[cinder sky]

even if it is just a rickroll, I'm not clicking it

[umbral karma]

i clicked it its a rick roll

[modern night]

That was yesterday

[umbral karma]

mmm untill they say tho we will worry

WB plz put us out of our misery and just tell us

[cinder sky]

but I mean, if they don't change the global time on steam, assuming it is a global release time, then my above method should work to give me a rough few hours that the time must be within, yes?

[modern night]

Just be patient and wait i guess everything is still possible

[sharp dune]

If Steam has issues unlocking the deluxe version on the 7th, I’d like to believe, this info will be relayed to customer beforehand.

Steam has handled “early access” games such as MW2’s week early release, so I don’t believe Hogwarts Legacy’s 72H early access will have any issues.

[halcyon haven]

See I've asked them that now 3 times and never got a reply lol

But it's literally a week away now...so hopefully we have an answer real soon...like tomorrow soon

[modern night]

Lets hope ❤️❤️

[halcyon haven]

Yeah I'm hoping because usually this close to a release date they have the actual time announced as well like a month ago

[orchid sparrow]

Is clothing also available

Or only house robes

[halcyon haven]

Neither..
Gotta play in your birthday suit lol

In all seriousness, I think it does have clothing options but not 100% certain

[orchid sparrow]

Okay, underwear and cap

(Kidding)

[halcyon haven]

Jump into the black lake like that lol

[orchid sparrow]

Only in ohio

[halcyon haven]

Why not Michigan? Waters nice this time of year. Nice and freezing

[orchid sparrow]

Ohio lake is most suitable

Try it

Maybe you will find him there

[upbeat plank]

I usually avoid doing side quests in games but wow if there really is around 100 side quests I feel like Im def gonna try and do them all.
I wonder if there's house locked quests

[calm reef]

There's a leak that claims that there are house locked main quests, but I doubt that.

[sharp dune]

I’m going to guess, yes only because one of the houses goes to Azkaban

[wet solstice]

is this an online game ?

[modern night]

Im wondering who 🥺

[sharp dune]

It is not.

[wet solstice]

ok

[sharp dune]

I’m thinking Slytherin. That’s my guess.

[calm reef]

How legit is the source on that? Because I won't believe those claims until I see solid evidence.

[sharp dune]

No source, just guess based on how Slytherin is in the books and films. Also given that the headmaster is part of the Sly house. 🤷🏻

[calm reef]

I meant the only one house get's to see Askaban part.
Who said that? Because if it's a Reddit post starting with "So my Uncle works at Avalance..." it's false until proven true.

[modern night]

I heard it in a gameplay video but not sure who it was since i watched like 20+

[calm reef]

By a Youtuber or an official gameplay showcase?
Because I don't remember it in the showcase, and youtubers generally aren't immune to falling for "So my Uncle works at Avalance" Reddit posts,

[modern night]

Idk bro, you will see on 7feb 😉

[calm reef]

Yeah, we will.

[dark flicker]

definitely hufflepuff 🤣

[silent snow]

one thing i know i go for an 120% completion 😛 i gonna complete things the are not there yet XD

[flint portal]

So any new info today

[silent snow]

yes frank :p its one day closer before we can play 😄

[flint portal]

Yesss 8 days 🥳🥳🥳

[warped hare]

7 Days for me

[lucid crater]

Why

[wide pivot]

i wonder how system will work with side and main quest, it will open all side quest, or when you will playthrough the main quest, then will open other side quests

[little pond]

Quidditch dlc confirmed next year lol
