‼-spoilers-general-‼

[hidden quest]

There r two apparently

[dense thistle]

The other one to look out for goes by Hogwarts insider

[outer bolt]

once one gamestop releases the game early they all do lol

[hidden quest]

One is the son of the dev guy

[feral locust]

Local game shops about to be in trouble 😬

[rotund plover]

I'm not disagreeing with you or trying to disprove you, it's just hard to keep track because a lot of people are saying a lot of stuff

[wide pivot]

I watching reddit but noting see it about that.

[rotund plover]

And some people are saying stuff based off stuff they heard elsewhere

[gusty forge]

So sad about this!

[dense thistle]

Was also reading the only customizations you can really do to your wand is customize the handle

[sour tundra]

Yeah, Hogwarts Insider was a QA tester and son of one of the devs. He's got a Reddit thread that's still up and verified by the mods.

[rotund plover]

Seems fair enough to me

[hidden quest]

Yeah that guy

[bronze sparrow]

I don’t understand why people think that they won’t get in trouble for leaking gameplay if they receive copies early. Like I understand that you wanna brag and/or inform people, but you gotta know that you’re gonna get caught

[dense thistle]

Also from what I remember reading, there's side quests in the game that has a better storyline than the main storyline lol

[rotund plover]

People don't realize that it's "court case" litigation in the US at least, so they play with fire

[lucid ruin]

Wands up for that absolute legend.

[lime elbow]

soooo….. anyone wanna slide into my dms if they have any of the leaks

[flint portal]

The son did not get banned right ??

[simple nymph]

Open reddit and see this https://i.redd.it/nsu30lwf9efa1.jpg 😂

[buoyant basalt]

yeah while I'm' desperately hoping my preorder comes early, but I'll just quietly sit in my lounge and play

[rotund plover]

The son has permission I believe, might have to check

[bronze sparrow]

Personally if I got an early copy, I’d be playing it quietly and then as soon as it drops, I’d let people know everything I found 🤷🏻‍♀️

[flint portal]

Yeah I think so

[sour tundra]

Yeah, and WB definitely has a team of attorneys at the ready. They don't mess around.

[hidden quest]

Well side quests r short so its pretty effective

[rotund plover]

You can mess around with some annoyed board room/executives money like that if you're feeling brave, wouldn't recommend it though

[flint portal]

@hidden quest depends on the side qeust I believe

[dense thistle]

Apparently south of the map is an area that Warner Brothers has not touched on but was told for players to explore. Apparently it's riddled with stuff for us to check out

[lucid ruin]

I knew it, we’re going to London!

[hidden quest]

😂

[lucid ruin]

CHEERIO and TALLYHO

[wide pivot]

It always was that, when someone get early the game, then others and then stream it.

[dense thistle]

You're right in a sense, I was reading before everything got nuked that some side quests are short that would take at least 5 minutes or as others it would take hours

[compact canyon]

Hours for a full chain of sidequests maybe

[feral locust]

Wait until you guys see how the owlery is incorporated

[hidden quest]

Even tho many side quests will be small, i think the way devs have talked about it on multiple occasions, it seems they put a lot of effort in it.

[sour tundra]

[outer bolt]

well theres good and bad in when ppl get into trouble 1 good thing is it gives more hype good or bad publicity is still publicity and buzz for the game the other bad thing is it spoils a few things for ppl im kinda glad i never seen the original post before wb steps in it jus makes me more hyped for the game

[lucid ruin]

Apparently the review embargo is lifting on February 6th at 4am PST/7am EST/12pm GMT

[grizzled rover]

I did it

[lucid ruin]

I’ve already preordered the digital deluxe edition so I hope I didn’t waste my money xD

[grizzled rover]

i got deluxe

[feral locust]

I am trying to decide if I should stream on twitch tonight

[umbral karma]

i wouldnt ull get banned

[lucid ruin]

Would you say based on what you played so far, that it’s a solid 8/10 at least?

[sour tundra]

That depends. How much will you miss your Twitch account if it gets banned?

[hidden quest]

I suggest dont do it, u will surely get banned

[feral locust]

I don't care about twitch at all lol

The game so far is a 11/10 my guy.

[umbral karma]

dm me a link if u do

[dense thistle]

My only question is this, how customizable is the wand in the wand selection ceremony?

I wonder if there's any cores/wands locked behind progression, New game Plus and or wizardingworld.com

[crisp sable]

No . Then I asked for proof. He's yet to reply

[flint portal]

I mean are there not like small streaming places where they can’t find you

[hidden quest]

If u do i suggest keep all id hidden, cuz idk many games have id that can track players

[wide pivot]

he even ignore me 😄

[flint portal]

Or play it on a low followed game and they can’t find you then right ?

[simple nymph]

You will risk DMCA strike

[radiant solstice]

I’d suggest against it since they already have thrown down the lawsuit hammer

It’s not worth it imo

[feral locust]

I was hoping if I thought a VPN on

[dense thistle]

Streaming a game that you got early just for clout is not worth the multiple lawsuits in the future.

[feral locust]

Can I hit children with a advada kedavra

[simple nymph]

no

[flint portal]

But yeah be smart you wil get a hope drama if you start streaming it

[feral locust]

WHYYYYYYY

[hidden quest]

Jst stream on a random discord server if u want

[flint portal]

Yeah on discord it should not be a problem

[feral locust]

Yes I might stream some "pokemon" later

[wide pivot]

I know there was platforms stream where people show how they play this game. that not released yet

[dense thistle]

You guys are playing with fire, everything is tied to an IP address.

[feral locust]

Yall heard about the new game Pokemon Legacy right😆

[lucid ruin]

Me if the final boss music turns out to be “Voldemort’s End” from DH Part 2.

[radiant solstice]

Agreed. It’s really really not worth actually losing money over trying to show people you somehow wound up with the game early

[grizzled rover]

hogwarts legends

[rotund plover]

You're playing with fire, period. You're dealing with a multi-million dollar company. If they have a vested interest in finding out who you are for litigation, they will, your op-sec ain't that good

[flint portal]

So next days there will be more people who wil play the game already

[silk sparrow]

imagine thinking a company breaking street date is the responsbility of a customer. The only recourse is to dmca and stream or content thats it. You lose your streaming account etc

[flint portal]

Just like Pokémon it will be bissy for people by Warner bros

[dense thistle]

Besides the good news is this, it was already announced that the review embargo will be lifted on February 6th at 6:00 a.m. CST

[lucid ruin]

I always get nervous after preordering something because I’ve been betrayed before haha

[rotund plover]

Just stay safe, and don't do things that could inspire someone's legal team to get feisty, please, for your own sake

[lucid ruin]

So I know I’m playing with fire especially on PSN.

[dense thistle]

We've all been there.

[robust tinsel]

I mean what u could do is record the gameplay and then as soon as its not longer "illegal" upload it and be the first to post HL story content

[flint portal]

I always got nervous about the shipping always came a day later 😬

[feral locust]

After 5 min your mind will be nlown

Blown

[silk sparrow]

explain to me what the legal ramifications are for a customer who got their copy early and decided to stream. Im very interested.

[radiant solstice]

They’re all going to be hit with copy-write infringement. Anything accidentally released prior to street-date can be the faults of both the distributed and the consumer should they choose to wave it around and may result in the loss of jobs as well as lawsuits

[lucid ruin]

I just hope that they incorporate John William’s music in some capacity.

[rotund plover]

Wait what, I never said that, you're inventing an argument for me in your head

[flint portal]

But if make fake accounts you can keep playing it right ?

[umbral karma]

30+ hrs of new music

[silk sparrow]

nope.

[flint portal]

Or do you have to make a new email again

[royal current]

Is it just me or am I just so tired of the wait

[feral locust]

Yea they have the jurassic park theme and you chase veliociraptors on your nimbus 2000

[radiant solstice]

If it’s before street date, any content revealed for a game is under an act of copy-write, it is protected and they can and will hit you hard in court for it

[royal current]

are u significant spot?

[lucid ruin]

John Williams scored the first two Harry Potter films including Hedwig’s Theme

[dense thistle]

Do a little bit of research on Google. I mean nobody should explain anything to you because it's self-explanatory at this point.

The game itself is under tight lips and a hardcore NDA. To put it lightly, if you were to stream you'll be hit by a copyright strike and a possible lawsuit. Anything else after that is up to the lawyers on what they want to do to you.

[flint portal]

@royal current yeah and people playing the game make it hard to not check leaks 😬

[silk sparrow]

this is not true. copy right infringement has nothing to do with early distribution of copies that is not the consumers responsibility

[royal current]

does one of the broom upgrades get rid of the cooldown?

[lucid ruin]

So I guess I mean, will we be getting Hedwig’s Theme or Leaving Hogwarts by John Williams, cause that’d be rad.

[feral locust]

I just got to a very significant spot in the story

[silk sparrow]

The only recourse companies have against casual andy is to dmca streams and remove accounts thats it.

[dense thistle]

You need to also remember that any platform you stream on, that platform has their own guidelines about streaming games before their street date. They'll completely nuke your account before Warner Brothers sets there lawyers on them for allowing the stream to go through

[lucid ruin]

I hope the final boss music goes as hard as Elden Ring’s.

[radiant solstice]

As a retail worker, if a copy leaks out early, the worker who messed up will lose their job and the consumer can face persecution via lawsuit depending on the product. If it’s something that contains story-based spoilers, then yes, it’s under copy-write

[dense thistle]

I mean nobody here should be having a discussion about this in the first place. Is it not self-explanatory the legal ramifications of doing something that you're not supposed to do?!

[feral locust]

Maybe I'll just keep everyone on an annoying edge of their seat with vague descriptions until next week

[dense thistle]

That's exactly what happened to the guy that got his account nuked roughly an hour ago.

[feral locust]

I know

[flint portal]

Hahahah

[radiant solstice]

It’s just best not to play with fire, especially corporate fire. And WB is a very large corporation to go against

[silk sparrow]

The entire point of DMCA is the process provides avenues to remove content that should not be accessible publicly at whatever point. That is the recourse. You cant sue little andy cause he pressed the stream button when he got his game early lmao

[wide maple]

@feral locust question, how do npcs refer to you, like I've seen the captions say your name but like do they call you a specific thing when directly talking to you, or is it just "hey you!"

[radiant solstice]

You can if they decide to publicly blog about it. You can play it quietly all you want, it’s when you talk about content that is not open to the public that they can hit you for

[wide pivot]

Maybe he is lying and said that because he want people notice him

[silk sparrow]

Why can't you sue them? Because you would have to provably have made an effort to sue anyone ever who received a copy early that was reasonably traceable. Why, because the entire premise of IP law and protections is that its based around consistent and reasonable efforts to protect your IP, its not about chasing some pleb who doesnt know anything

[feral locust]

Who's to say I'm not just making all this up or theorizing though. Maybe I'm just good at divination

[dense thistle]

This game isn't your average game. It has way too many eyes on it as the IP itself is already big. The world is already invested in this video game and has a huge cult following ever since the movie back in 2001.

If you guys want to play with fire and stream the game early or post screenshots for the world to see, go for it. But don't come back crying just for everybody to tell you "I told you so".

[wide maple]

Maybe he's a WB plant

[rotund plover]

At this point a lot of people are just confidently saying a lot of stuff, so please bear with us Jbooky

[feral locust]

Wb couldn't prove nothing

[silk sparrow]

imagine thinking the internet bubble consists of the entire world

[rotund plover]

and when asked it sometimes turns out that they just said something they thought would be awesome and assumed it would be there, but if you're saying it's 100% there...

[radiant solstice]

Yes, but the point isn’t for people playing the game early. It’s for people playing the game early that decide to then tell the internet the story and mechanics early which is currently protected by WB until the 6th of February

[feral locust]

It's all good I mean 90 percent of us will ghost this forum after next week

[flint portal]

Yeah he can joke right discord doesn’t care so long there are no leaks

[hidden quest]

Can we stop arguing, its ok to give advice but dont fight over who is r8 and wrong

[rotund plover]

I know I'll be gone, I love this community but holy god does being around it remind me of why I left in the first place

[wide maple]

R8?

[lilac beacon]

@feral locust yeah, they would however be able to track your ip

[wide maple]

Lol

[flint portal]

@lilac beacon hello

[silk sparrow]

thats not the responsibility of the person.

[flint portal]

How are you enjoying the game ?

[lilac beacon]

@flint portal hello 😁

[dense thistle]

I'll put it to you this way,

Star wars
Harry Potter
Anything marvel related
DC universe

That's just to name a few on how popular something can be. Internet bubble or not, It's made popular through aggressive marketing for a broader audience around the world.

[grizzled rover]

harry potter and star wars is almost the exact same thign

[feral locust]

If they were to lock my ip right now they would find absolutely nothing

[lilac beacon]

@flint portal its great, could easily spend 100+ hours on it im sure😁

[silk sparrow]

i didnt say it isnt... im just saying lots of people like star wars, dont mean they all play the game or even play games, lots of people like lego , maybe they dont play the lego games though...its an equivocation fallacy

[lucid ruin]

WB looking at you like a snack right now 👀

[radiant solstice]

It’s literally protected under NDA right now. It’s law and they can lose money over it because it opens them up to competition and they can lose potential revenue

[rotund plover]

So when do you guys think the community's... feistiness will hit the peak? My guess is Saturday or Sunday. It's going to be an absolute mess this weekend

[wide maple]

@feral locust did you see this question,

[feral locust]

I welcome them to the table

[radiant solstice]

It’s law, you can still get in trouble for breaking a law even if you are not aware of the full extent of it

[silk sparrow]

little andy didnt sign an NDA, he just ordered a game in a store or online, the fact he got it early is of no consequence to him.

[flint portal]

Yeah this weekend wil be chaos for them online

[lucid ruin]

If it’s feistiness in a bad way I’ll just drown them out with Lily’s Theme from DH2

[simple nymph]

Sounds like people arguing already so maybe the peak is from now on

[flint portal]

YouTube twitch tiktok twitter Al wil be grazy

[lilac beacon]

@flint portal yh theyre gonna get bombarded, not looking forward too it tbh😅

[rotund plover]

I love Bahroo's emotes and you may be right, but this one is fairly tame

[flint portal]

Nope me too is going to be stress for them

[radiant solstice]

Like I said. It’s under law and you can still face persecution of laws even if you are not aware of them. It’s how it works. If they find out it’s a kid that didn’t know any better, they’d just IP lock and give a slap on the wrist.

[silk sparrow]

NDAs are never legally enforceable on individuals either. The entire purpose of an NDA is the requirement should it be broken is the company make reasonable and tangible steps to deny access to that information before any legal pursuit can be made. i.e. deny access, fire people and remove information posted publicly using the DMCA

[lucid ruin]

WB: Alright, so this is the final Harry Potter movie, duel to the death between Harry and Voldemort, when it comes to the music, it has to hit people hard.

Desplat: Say no More.

[feral locust]

From now on in the sub please refer to me as Little Andy 😆

[wide maple]

That's not entirely true... Depending on the terms you can be sued for damages on some NDAs

[flint portal]

Okay Andy jr

[dense thistle]

That's not entirely true, there's been cases of kids getting the full extent of the law for breaking NDAs or in the case of that kid in England that leaked the entire source code for Grand theft Auto 6

[silk sparrow]

it is 100% true. It is only after you have made an effort and a person continues to undermine those effort can you sue them, but its not even for breach of NDA its another law 'company secrets etc' whatever its called

[radiant solstice]

Fair, it kind of depends

[lilac beacon]

Just dont post anything in an open forum, simple as that.

[radiant solstice]

People will get fired and sensitive information such as story imperative to a game that hasn’t publicly released yet. These people are knowing they’re leaking information that shouldn’t be out there and henceforth the trouble

[wide maple]

Oh.. ya that's true, I was thinking on down the line I forgot how that works but ya, it's really hard to prove damages in that case anyways

[silk sparrow]

NDAs are the first step towards legal recourse they are not intended to be a point in which legal recourse is sought

and even with that said, little andy didnt sign one

[dense thistle]

That's hard for people that are clout junkies. But then again I enjoy that kind of Entertainment. Criminals uploading their wrongdoings just to get caught. Priceless.

[feral locust]

I don't have any major social media presence

[radiant solstice]

Agreed. But if you receive a product early, regardless if you didn’t sign an NDA, it’s honestly just common sense to not leak the game before official release. It’s not “cool” and these things are heavily owned

[feral locust]

I already know some of what I've talked about already will be In 10 clickbait youtube videos later today😆

[lilac beacon]

@dense thistle yh, i sure as hell wont post any of it in public, would be stupid😅

[dense thistle]

As much as I would like to stay here and argue just for the sake of argument, I got to go

[umbral karma]

yh youtube is use less for the week now

[silk sparrow]

yes but companies have no legal options regards to that, they have to use the tools provided (dmca etc) before anything else can be done and usually thats all you do, remove the content and you have taken those reasonable steps required. At which point...the content is gone?

[feral locust]

I have just acquired a new method of "transport"

[flint portal]

Nice nice

[quick basalt]

People want their 15 minutes, we see it time and time again

[cursive comet]

Soon!!!

[feral locust]

The map- 🤔
The map after 5 hours -😮🤗😍

[radiant solstice]

It would still have been out there for anyone that read it, or even potentially screenshot it. Nothing wiped from the internet is ever really gone. It may always linger. Story as well as technique especially are usually very heavily protected. It’s both because right now it’s considered property of WB regardless if they were accidentally given out early as well as it can reveal too much to give other companies an earlier competitive edge

[silk sparrow]

that is not the persons fault who put it up. There can be no assumption of malicious intent from the get go. WB have the right to chase and remove it with the tools provided

[lilac beacon]

@feral locust send you a pm

[lucid ruin]

I’m excited for this game to make me feel like a magical badass.

[queen shore]

It's so close but so far

[radiant solstice]

It is if they knew the game wasn’t released. That alone will get them in trouble. Some companies are more lenient and some will hound you down more for these things. WB happens to be one that will hound you down as they’ve already shown within the hour. I’m not the one that enforces it, I’m simply relaying this is what they’re doing, and why.

My point has been made and at this point I feel it’s just going around in circles. Up for whomever to absorb or reject it however they please.

[olive spoke]

Was wondering, are there are any house-locked quests?

[silk sparrow]

prove it. none of this is provable or enforceable

[main pine]

lol. plenty of people have played games before release date.

[hidden quest]

Yes there r house locked quests it seems

[lilac beacon]

@olive spoke not to my knowledge, only tried gryffindor so far, but you cant enter other houses than your own

[flint portal]

Really also slytherin with out getting kicked out ?

[hidden quest]

I heard there r special quests like one guy said u get to go to azakaban if u in slytheryn

[dawn goblet]

we allowed to discuss leaks here?

[crisp sable]

No 😂

[weak widget]

does anyone know anything about steam pre order release times? because someone on reddit said that steam doesn't do midnight launches but releases the game everywhere at the same time

[dawn goblet]

Shi

[hidden quest]

Btw why is this named spoilers general tbh?

[crisp sable]

For officially released stuff only

Like the previews

[hidden quest]

Oh damm, is that how it works

[rotund plover]

It's a division so that people who want to talk about the game don't get bombarded with the sheer massive content dump that came from youtuber's first impressions and all the reddit speculation

[wide pivot]

only spoilers

[sour tundra]

It's just the general HL chat where spoilers can be discussed. For now that's things from the gameplay previews YouTubers are putting out. Once the game comes out gameplay spoilers can be openly discussed here.

[hidden quest]

Ok now i got it

[lilac beacon]

@hidden quest nice, gotta try all the houses then at some point😁

[flint portal]

Yeah this is was more for the previews a week ago

[feral locust]

Sure would be nice if someone was previewing it right now as in now

[lilac beacon]

@feral locust havent trolled enough?😅

[hidden quest]

I did see some new vids about early reviews from the channel podcast now

He uploaded it 40mins ago

[silk sparrow]

no bench

then bench

[feral locust]

No I'm just getting to the mountain ones, the woodland ones were easy

[silk sparrow]

lol culling delay

[near idol]

so interested to see what small things get added that we'll never even notice

we'll notice it, but have no idea it was a small detail added at the end i mean

[silk sparrow]

that takes a 10th of a second to load in

ofc youll notice it

[uneven beacon]

culling

its normal

[silk sparrow]

yes

but they have pulled it too short but i assume its for fps

[uneven beacon]

ye

[silk sparrow]

they are culling some meshes at like 5 meters

[hidden quest]

Did u too get the game early or u also have a source

😅

[silk sparrow]

the video

its in the video

[simple nymph]

that bench is ruining my gaming experience 😩

[hidden quest]

Which one, from early acces ones?

[silk sparrow]

its culling many meshes

[wide pivot]

why?

[simple nymph]

am joking 😛

[uneven beacon]

why

lol

yeah man

[wide pivot]

oh

[uneven beacon]

give it a break

[silk sparrow]

well the reality is yall be "oh well it just a bench" and when it releases youll be complaining that stuff pop in on your eyeballs

[uneven beacon]

i think its just u and other picky gamers

[silk sparrow]

i think your quality bar is too low

[uneven beacon]

yeah good for me

[silk sparrow]

maybe you set it against anthem and fallout 76

[hidden quest]

Which vid, can u give link pls?

[lilac beacon]

@silk sparrow could look like some before and after a spell pic😁

[uneven beacon]

i dont play those games

[hidden quest]

Hmmm 🤔

[silk sparrow]

dunno one of the many preview videos ive watched i just saved a couple screens cause i found it funny

[flint portal]

[uneven beacon]

bro out here a game detective and hes not even playing it

[pure zenith]

Will we see the Talking Hat in the game?

I love this one

[flint portal]

Yessss I think so

[simple nymph]

Yeah he has been shown off in one of the official videos

[silk sparrow]

there is even one video where one of the enemies during the mission pops in mid casting spell, but dunno which one maybe someone else can find it

[pure zenith]

Nice ❤️

[hidden quest]

Ok preview vid, then its fine cuz it wasnt final build

[silk sparrow]

imagine think they are gonna improve the cull distance with the abysmal framerate we saw already on fidelity mode. damn .

[long bobcat]

I actually played anthem a few months ago and it’s really good game to play with a few friends. It’s a shame that it lost support. You run out of things to do fairly quickly.

[uneven beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/smadging-speech-bubble-speech-bubble-smadging-gif-26061412

Yes they will

[crisp sable]

Hagrid the engine

[simple nymph]

[simple nymph]

[uneven beacon]

[hidden quest]

Look if u want source jst wait till tomorrow there will be pletnty of vids, there is alredy a vid ill give u a link but so far the guy pho played it said that he experienced only one visual glitch and it wasnt a pop up.

[feral locust]

Ty ... done 🙂

[silk sparrow]

you said its fixed, show me

[uneven beacon]

happiness +20

[fair kite]

Fast bro? You got blocked?

[feral locust]

Man I can't stand that podcast now dude

Spoilers were already posetd

[uneven beacon]

the way he say "podcast now" is so funny to me idk why

[silk sparrow]

it means i said something so offensive about the game like the pop in is bad, i achieved block status, to me, thats a 100% win, cause i know for a fact that they will see 1 blocked message and still click it cause they cant help it.

[feral locust]

I bet he on her Watching cause he sure got a video out quick lol

[hidden quest]

Bro u r so agressive dude, u rather keep waiting thinking game is bad and it will be full of glitches. Meanwhile ill enjoy my time.

[fair kite]

How will you recover from such tragic measures?

[silk sparrow]

i didnt say the game is bad. I said pop in is bad.

what is it with people re writing what was said.

[wide pivot]

wow

[silk sparrow]

im gonna eat this creme egg and continue to wonder what it really is made of inside

[fair kite]

Hmmm. I wonder. I’ll look it up

Cream and coconut

I guess

[silk sparrow]

they taste so good coconut must be it

[hidden quest]

Do u guys think we will see young dumbledore in his first yr

[bitter igloo]

its very common in this server ive noticed. I agree the whole culling problems, and pop ins the previews and teasers had was bad, and if its still happening when the game comes out, specifically on pc, and the devs haven't fixed it modders will try to do it themselves

[simple nymph]

No because he doesnt enroll until 1892 and this game takes place in 1890

[silk sparrow]

youll notice the previews didnt say WIP anymore

[hidden quest]

Oh ok, so if only avalanche makes sequel for later yrs that may be possible

[silk sparrow]

i am highly doubtful the occlusion and culling will change at all, and it is jarring in some of the previews because it is so egregious

[bitter igloo]

i just hope that it is fixed

[hidden quest]

Cuz it was real gameplay,devs said it was early build with no day one patch ,do u need a watermark on every preview

[simple nymph]

We're gonna have to see, I do not want to think about sequels or anything until I have experienced the ending myself; might as well not be possible for all we know

[simple nymph]

Then you are up to make the decision whether you can live with it or not

[bitter igloo]

it is very noticeable, you would have to watch with closed eyes not to see it, also some of the things showing, then going cause of culling, and then 1 sec after you see the place it should be you would notice it popping back in

[hidden quest]

Yeah, i would rather see how this game does first

[modern night]

And people complaining and saying everything what they say is truth. Lots of things aren't confirmed yet

[bitter igloo]

yes, if it is a work in progress it should say so

[silk sparrow]

Yep, its obtrusive in places but the most problematic part is enemy NPCS being culled in for some reason, there is one video (only one ttbf) where at least one AI took a moment to load and loaded after the cast of a spell.

hopefully this was just a glitch

rather than intended

[hidden quest]

Man i dont know if u ever played a early access game or not but in game dosent show wip, only in official vids and trailers thise things can be done not gameplay

[bitter igloo]

haven't seen it in combat myself, but ive seen one of the teasers set in hogsmead, where an npc was culled and then popped back in, just cause he was behind the character but he was still on screen

[silk sparrow]

yeh npcs have an occlusion map it seems which is used as part of the culling process

[hidden quest]

Wait where did u get hogsmede gameplay?

[bitter igloo]

oh ive played loads, im on pc, not totally true tho, there are a few games that have it watermarked, doesn't have to be on screen while playing, but it is on loading screens or other places

[silk sparrow]

so if something is behind a certain npc or mesh it wont load even if its like 2 meters away

[bitter igloo]

its one of their teasers

[silk sparrow]

and then ytou will watch it pop in in your eye balls

[sudden umbra]

what did the dude on reddit leak?

[bitter igloo]

but i hope it's fixed on PC since that is a different platform

[silk sparrow]

im on pc so thats my hope

[bitter igloo]

yea NPC was behind character but still on screen, NPC gets culled, and then pops back on screen 1 sec later

[bitter igloo]

same

[hidden quest]

This game does not have loading screen nor did we see any menu so u cant jst assume that ,i have talked with the guy who played the game today on ps5 ,he confirmed that there is no glitch so far, only one glitch happened with the robe of a professor

[sudden umbra]

what else did he say

[silk sparrow]

i know this is blurry but watch the npc pop in on the left

its more than a full second

[sudden umbra]

we been know this

[flint portal]

Wat spoilers ?

[sudden umbra]

im trying to find it

[native galleon]

Post was taken down already

[bitter igloo]

just cause you have talked with a guy that has played the game doesn't mean anything, when the game isn't "out yet". i am also not assuming anything, don't know where you got that from but ok, we have seens menu's but i guess you don't know what a menu is

[sudden umbra]

help me out here 😭

[bitter igloo]

yea that stuff has happened a lot in the previews

[lilac beacon]

The loading times are quick though, no more than 5 secs maximum on ps5, and render distance for scenery is big

[hidden quest]

Show me which guy in preview has seen the menu, only one guy has seen it and it was the map

[bitter igloo]

there have been shown menu's for crafting, using the loom just an example

[silk sparrow]

i caught him popping in

must be magic

[sudden umbra]

we already know about the pop ins

[bitter igloo]

has to be magic

[feral locust]

He apparated

[bitter igloo]

apparently some don't

[flint portal]

Yeah we know already

[hidden quest]

He is in the above img tho, covered in fog

[flint portal]

Also at the boat house

[bitter igloo]

those are some very bad graphics then

[sour tundra]

The boat house was the worst I saw.

[bitter igloo]

those pics are like 1 meter apart

[flint portal]

Yeah randomly 3 guys standing there

[feral locust]

@sour tundra grandpa

[silk sparrow]

12 frames to pop in, over a second

[sour tundra]

Hello grandchild.

[feral locust]

😊

[bitter igloo]

yea, if the person was in the fog there is something very weird going on for them to not be seeable 1 meter apart

[silk sparrow]

no idea seems like the guys optmising were told to forget everything and just cull all that they could

[wide pivot]

if today was 7th already would play it, but need wait more days. I hate this feelings to waiting

[feral locust]

Everyone hates waiting

[flint portal]

Yeah it get worst and worst how closer it get

[feral locust]

But it's here finally after years!

[flint portal]

But I think when is weekend the time wil be flying

[feral locust]

I called off work to play this game

[flint portal]

Yeah right only one week🥳

[wide pivot]

always like that 😦

[flint portal]

And Sunday we can download the game 🥳

And Tuesday finally play it after all the waiting

[swift yew]

[bitter igloo]

[flint portal]

2 flying mounts

[modern night]

New post ❤️❤️

[swift yew]

flying mounts?

[flint portal]

Yeah a thestreal and a dark onyx bird

And the 71 hours before game play

[wild fjord]

When’s the earliest someone can get onto hogwarts legacy coz I think I know when I can but I’m not too smart

[wide pivot]

if you want play early and get mounts and clothes, then yes

[flint portal]

@modern night where is the new post

[wild fjord]

I’m in the uk and if I swap to New Zealand they are 13 hours ahead so I should be able to play it at 1pm ish ?

[flint portal]

If you swap to New Zealand I think you can play it on the 6th

But I am not 100% sure

[olive jay]

the 7th i’m p sure

[wide pivot]

@swift yew

[wild fjord]

On the Xbox store it says 7/02/2023 00:00 so if I put it to New Zealand I should be able to play it at 1pm right ?

[lilac beacon]

If you got a copy early you can get in before that, if doing it a certain way

[modern night]

Twitter Hogwarts Legacy

[flint portal]

Some people are already playing 😬

@modern night you have a link ?

[wild fjord]

I got the digital deluxe edition on Xbox store

[warped hare]

https://twitter.com/HogwartsLegacy/status/1620482168832106498?s=20&t=NUKrSfReTewhfWenYG1b4A

[modern night]

Thanks I wasn't that fast 😂

[flint portal]

Thanks for the vid

[bitter igloo]

yea if you switch to New Zealand you can then play earlier im 99% sure about that

[wild fjord]

Awesome

I’m so hyped I want to play it as soon as possible

[bitter igloo]

that's atleast how 99% of all other early release games work

[flint portal]

Yeah always New Zealand and Australië first

[lucid ruin]

Me when I get Avada Kedabra.

[wild fjord]

Lol I feel like it might be a tough decision to get it tho

[wide pivot]

who have guide how stop think about Hogwarts?

[wild fjord]

What in the what

[flint portal]

Please help me too 😩

[bitter igloo]

go into a full on coma

[feral locust]

Exclusive wallpaper 🙃

[bitter igloo]

that's the only way

[wide pivot]

ahahahaha

[flint portal]

I wish I can sleep for a week

And then play for a week

[lucid ruin]

No worries I speak internet. They’re asking if anyone has a guide to how to stop thinking about the game.

[warped hare]

Dont forget the ones that own the PS5 version can download it on sunday in the uk

[modern night]

Im getting sleeping pills everyday because I can't sleep.. its silly i know.. 🤣

[bitter igloo]

melatonin?

[flint portal]

Yeah and also in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[lucid ruin]

I’m watching one Harry Potter film a day leading up to the release

[wide pivot]

haha, thx xD

[modern night]

Yes

[wild fjord]

Same

[bitter igloo]

i did that earlier, it was good

[flint portal]

I am reading the books almost finished with 6

[wild fjord]

Im on chamber of secrets now

[lucid ruin]

Did CoS yesterday, first 5 minutes with Dobby are cringe, everything after that is fine.

[wild fjord]

Haha I just got past that but

Bit*

[lucid ruin]

I always hated Dobby in that movie haha.

[wild fjord]

I always hate dudleys family

[buoyant basalt]

Oh god Dobby in the movies was something awful haha

[wide pivot]

I'm only watched movies, but glad that they make game, not like movies, that you can learning something new, that you didn't know about

[bitter igloo]

wdym i loved Dobby

i fell a tear when he died

[flint portal]

Yeah that’s why I liked the books more extra info

[wild fjord]

I didn’t really care that much since I never really paid attention to him

[queen shore]

i got deluxe

im going to have someone download it for me then play on the 10th when i can

[lucid ruin]

Yeah like, I’m sorry but I don’t care if you were trying to protect Harry, making him get punished by his family, miss his train and rigging a bludger to kill him and oh yeah, hiding letters from his friends

[wild fjord]

Play on the 7th you get 72 hours early access

[lucid ruin]

Glad he’s gone.

[queen shore]

I cant

[wild fjord]

That sucks

[queen shore]

Im not at home

[flint portal]

Yeah that blows

[bitter igloo]

wasn't it only really so that Voldemort wouldn't be a problem tho? if Harry didn't go to Hogwarts Voldemort wouldn't go there either? idk

[wild fjord]

Easy solution teleport your house to you

[queen shore]

im going to watch a streamer play the first part of the game to sooth my hype

[hasty tendon]

When is the review embargo done

[queen shore]

Apparate of course

[bitter igloo]

the 7th i think

[flint portal]

@bitter igloo I don’t know because Ginny got the book and then he would have been revived in a younger form

[lucid ruin]

That doesn’t make sense cause Lucius is the one that gave Ginny the horcrux. So either way, Voldemort would’ve gone to school.

[wild fjord]

My brain is not big enough to know what that word means 😎

[bitter igloo]

fair

[queen shore]

its when wizards teleport

[flint portal]

@bitter igloo and Dobby new so he only wanted to protect Harry

[wild fjord]

Ah I’m not very up to date on all the lingo

[lucid ruin]

By killing him with a bludger

[bitter igloo]

aight

[queen shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvgSiIWo1KU

this is what it is

[flint portal]

@lucid ruin yeah his plans where a bit grazy but he meant it good

[wild fjord]

I hope we can do something like that in the game

[queen shore]

when we go to potions

our character should say let him cook

[wild fjord]

I’m so hyped I actually can’t wait

[queen shore]

7 more days

[wild fjord]

Too long

[queen shore]

even though some people have it

[wild fjord]

I need it now

[wicked sluice]

for real

[wild fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

Me when trying to load the game

[lucid ruin]

I don’t have the game but I hope the intro is a hype package/montage of your character getting packed and ready while a narrator voice reads the letter of acceptance to Hogwarts.

[queen shore]

early copies are out

[wide pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/joann-harris-ooh-la-la-mad-men-gif-10050971

[wild fjord]

I must acquire

[wild fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/waynes-world-mike-myers-it-will-be-mine-mine-gif-4571728

[simple nymph]

makes me sad this series is cancelled and we will not see the end

[wild fjord]

Fantastic beasts ?

[lucid ruin]

And then after that hype package, your character will say “It’s time to start.. my legacy” followed by the title card being splashed on the screen and a Hans Zimmer Bwang

[queen shore]

February 6th is when the review embargo is lifted

[simple nymph]

Yup.. Warner Bros. announced that there are no plans to continue the Fantastic Beasts franchise

[wild fjord]

Ain’t gonna lie that my legacy stuff is a bit corny

[lucid ruin]

That’s the point

[wild fjord]

Should be it’s morbin time

[wild fjord]

The last one wasn’t too bad how could they continue it ?

[lucid ruin]

To be fair, only the first movie was a fantastic beasts movie, the other two were “The Adventures of Dumbledore and Grindelwald”

[green delta]

Evening all👋🏻

[simple nymph]

Yeah the third (and last) one was really disappointing.. Might as well changed his name to "Albus Mary Sue Dumbledore"

[sharp dune]

I always figured fantastic beats would continue up until point where Harry is in existence.

Technically speaking WB can pull a "game of thrones season 8" and make up a story.

[lucid ruin]

Fantastic Beats sounds like an awesome movie about an aspiring musician in the Wizarding world.

[sharp dune]

Lol. Typo. I'd watch that

[lucid ruin]

They haven’t really touched on musical magic in the films. That’d be interesting if you could use music to cast spells.

[sharp dune]

I't be a great musical

[lucid ruin]

I’m shocked they haven’t done a Wizarding World television series

Sounds like an easy win.

Make a series following the 4 founders of Hogwarts

$$$$$

[tiny thunder]

swear i saw something about a tv series last night

it was a youtube video and i didnt check it out but i know it was about a tv series

[simple nymph]

or marauder era 😍

[lucid ruin]

Season 1 could be how all 4 founders meet each other and ends with them coming up with formation of the school.

Season 2 has the school under construction and brewing conflicts with Slytherin, ending with Salazar leaving.

Season 3 is the 3 followers trying to keep things together while Salazar does malicious things in the background.

[simple nymph]

If it is not released by WB/Avalanche itself or their permission it can be treated as a leak

[green delta]

YouTube is no better than Reddit as of late. I came across quite a few leaks, during the weekend

[lucid ruin]

Who would you cast as the four founders in a television series?

[flint portal]

Where on Reddit ?

[simple nymph]

The main 4 Narnia actors but grown up tbh 😂

[green delta]

It’s like watching a series. You keep saying “only one more”.. next thing you know, you’re refreshing for newly uploaded😂

[lucid ruin]

I’d cast this guy from GOT as Godric.

[flint portal]

@feral locust you mean earlier today ?

When he answered some questions

[tiny thunder]

my biggest wonder is who would be Salazar

[lucid ruin]

That’s a tough one.

[green delta]

Quality shout but I personally feel his accent wouldn’t match the character. No disrespect to himself or his nation

[lucid ruin]

I’m thinking someone like Mark Strong but I don’t know how he would look with a beard.

[lilac beacon]

@tiny thunder danny devito🤣

[green delta]

I believe it’s been confirmed by WB that there’s no physical/love relationships in the game. Mainly because it’s a 12+

[wide pivot]

not 16+?

[wide pivot]

now i see

[lilac beacon]

Yeah its 16+

[green delta]

12+ in UK

[wild fjord]

I have a question, what are the random spells they throw at each other in fast combat

[lucid ruin]

Nicola Coughlan from Bridgerton I think would be a good Helena Hufflepuff, the problem is she’s only 5’1

[green delta]

May just mean emotionally attach ourselves to the whole game and in-game NPC’s… bit like how Poppy has the attraction towards animals way.

The choice is there for good or evil. So it’s basically, how we feel towards each situation

[wide pivot]

"Games rated PEGI 12 can include violence in a fantasy environment or non-realistic violence towards human-like characters, whereas games rated PEGI 16 or 18 have increasingly more realistic-looking violence. The game contains bad language." it's can be mean that nothing so dark can be in the game 🙂

[lucid ruin]

I just hope there’s at least one scene where we get a mass effect style interrogation and you can decide whether they live or you cast the killing curse

[green delta]

We’re all gonna feel like little kids. So any romantic situation will be out of the window anyways😂

[lilac beacon]

Yh 12+ my bad, though i saw 16+ on the cassette

[simple nymph]

Romance is perfectly fine for teenagers but not something I would be interested in playing a game like this haha

[lucid ruin]

Maybe we’ll get romance in a sequel when our character is older

[wide pivot]

Adult in deep souls can still feel like been kids

[lucid ruin]

Does anyone know if we’ll be able to give our characters highlights?

[lilac beacon]

Like with the hair?

[lucid ruin]

Yeah

[green delta]

Imma save it then destroy it in a different save. Gotta feel the effects of both sides😂

[lilac beacon]

Nope you cannot

[lucid ruin]

Damn

I feel like that a sequel or final game in a trilogy could easily integrate romance

I imagine we’ll get an option to at least make sarcastic remarks or flirt a little

[green delta]

The ultimate love child of Grindelwald & Dumbledore😂

[wide pivot]

anyway in Hogwarts Mystery have a romance

[native fox]

Already thought about what my evil character will be like lol

[lucid ruin]

Like if our characters don’t get the ability to spout one liners or be snarky, that’s an L.

[green delta]

That’s a good point tbf. But we don’t know if Year 6 & 7 are available yet.. so it’s hard to pinpoint whether romance, will be at an age to be introduced

[lucid ruin]

Like a villain is monologuing then your character can cast expelliarmus and then be like.. “you were saying?”

[wide pivot]

i read that it start in 4 year

[lilac beacon]

Year 5 it starts

[native fox]

It’s gonna be a person who never sneaks around and just blasts the *** out of everyone with avada

[lucid ruin]

I want to walk around like I own the place with a little bit of magical swagger

[green delta]

Weirdly Imagining life with them both as parents… you’d be the most dangerous but respectable wizard alive😂

[native fox]

Exactlyyyy

[wide pivot]

bad guys?

[native fox]

For second play through yea

[lucid ruin]

I’ve always wondered if anyone has tried twiddling their wand with their fingers like you would a pencil.

[green delta]

Not sure how true that is tbh.. it’s been official for awhile, that we start at Year 5 students

[native fox]

Takin it up to he who should not be thought

[wide pivot]

i see

[lucid ruin]

Like if I can’t twiddle my wand around like Anakin does with his lightsaber, man.

I like the idea of giving intracacies to your character, making them cocky or reserved.

[native fox]

I imagine that for a wizard who can talk and charm their way out of anything

[green delta]

Make the rules? We are the rules 🧙‍♂️🪄

[native fox]

LMAO

[lucid ruin]

Gilderoy Lockhart esque xD

[native fox]

But less stupid hopefully

[lucid ruin]

It would be cool if we got specializations with our skill trees like we can decide to build our characters to be powerful in one school of magic over the others.

[pine hull]

holaaa

algun latinoamericano?

[lucid ruin]

Like if you want to put all your points in evocation go for it, but if you want to be specialized in stealth and trickery that should be an option too.

[wide pivot]

What is interesting, if will be evil witch/wizard, then can we hurt student? Or Adults npc kick our ass

[native fox]

I think they have different sets of skills? Like there were those five tabs/cards I’ve seen some play throughs on YouTube

Idk if it’s like putting points into them tho

I think it’s like collecting the field guide pages or doing side missions (?)

[lucid ruin]

That would add tons of replay ability cause not only would you want to play the other houses but I figured people would try to get through the game by going with another specialization.

[green delta]

Think you’re right… it’s a similar skill tree to Assassins Creed Valhalla. Not the same format I guess, but same principle

[native fox]

Yea I haven’t seen any sign that it’s like a points based system like ac

The one in the middle was related to the field guide notes tho

[arctic pebble]

si

[native fox]

I think it said like “core skills” or something like that

[green delta]

Si senor

[native fox]

They don’t like gifs here

[native fox]

Oh guess I was wrong lol

[lucid ruin]

Birb

[wide pivot]

what is in the left side?

[green delta]

I’ll be back soon. Need to get showered and sorted.. otherwise I’ll be here all night talking about HL😂

[sudden umbra]

character saves

[green delta]

Save slots

Is this official tho? Looks like a leak to me

[sudden umbra]

👀

[native fox]

Says January on the save dates tho right?

[wide pivot]

oh i see. thx, i just want make sure)

[lucid ruin]

4 save slots, one for each house.

[native fox]

So not a leak from recent days

[lilac beacon]

Its a real image, can confirm

[sudden umbra]

dont think thsi is a leak

[tiny thunder]

jan 19th, is that the day they did the testing?

[lilac beacon]

3 of his save slots are gryffindor though🤣

[green delta]

Even if it was. All people that were invited, were restricted to certain aspects of the game

[wide pivot]

how we see that we still choose house

[native fox]

And I’m guessing the numbers are character level?

[lilac beacon]

Correct

[lucid ruin]

If people can cast magic without wands, what’s the point of them?

[green delta]

So the only things, authorised to be shown. Are the ones currently in videos of gameplay… this I haven’t seen in any of them.

My original and current thought, it’s a leak.

[sudden umbra]

control?

[floral grove]

xbox console deluxe edition ( dont think ps5 will work) and some random islands timezone is the fastest, forgot the name of it, but new zealand is also a fast second option to pick

[lilac beacon]

Ps5 does work😅

[wide pivot]

i hear 40 lvl is max

[sudden umbra]

it is

prob will go up with dlc

just speculating

[sudden umbra]

it was on reddit and hasnt been taken down by mods

[wide pivot]

like mmo when after update lvl up xD

[lucid ruin]

Oh man I wonder if obliviate is in this game

[sudden umbra]

i hope we get muggle interactions aswell but seems unlikely

[lilac beacon]

You wouldnt remember if i told you anyway

[lucid ruin]

Like you just cast it on an enemy and they have no idea where they are xD

[vocal helm]

Hadn’t seen this one. Nice

[native fox]

Maybe squibs tho

[sudden umbra]

who is that

[lucid ruin]

Why does it look like that bookshelf is gonna fall?

[feral locust]

🤣🤣

[shut trellis]

Lmao I just noticed that😭

[wide pivot]

it's me sleeping on the table

[lilac beacon]

More importantly, why is that student missing a head🤣

[shut trellis]

That’s gonna be all of us once Professor Black sets us homework

[wide pivot]

i hate homework

[shut trellis]

There having there beauty sleep 🫠

[fair kite]

?

[keen bough]

Based on the screenshots and things I’ve seen and read, Hogwarts Legacy looks like a great and detailed game. I’m even more hyped

[vocal helm]

Samesies

[torpid pasture]

wtf?!

thats cool

[keen bough]

I thought the spoilers I’ve seen would be major, but it’s mainly about features of the game. So it’s sustaining my excitement lol

[gusty forge]

"Based on the screenshots and things I’ve been allowed to see and read, Hogwarts Legacy looks like a great and detailed game. I’m even more hyped"

Fixed that for you! 😂😂😂

[sudden umbra]

it is isnt it

[keen bough]

Not necessarily allowed. I’ve seen stuff on Reddit from people who got an early copy

[shut trellis]

When tf was this shown

[keen bough]

From a French YouTuber - I saw it yesterday. He had a developer kit

[gusty forge]

Yeah im just derping, no worries!

[shut trellis]

Can you link it?

[keen bough]

Sure just a sec

[keen bough]

It’s at the end of the video

https://youtu.be/zvFyhmlE254

[shut trellis]

Cheers

[lilac beacon]

If youd like to see some scenery. Pm me

[wide pivot]

i'm curious more about companion, how many interaction with companions will be

Not just hey let's go beat bad guys and of this end of friendship

[keen bough]

I’m not sure. We have 3 confirmed companions that we can fight with - Sebastian, Natsai, and poppy - all with their own special friendship quest

[queen shore]

i need to know how many companions there are

[wide pivot]

In movies show real friendship, this is what i'm expect

[queen shore]

there has got to be more than 3

[lucid ruin]

When you finish every side quest before the main story missions.

[gusty forge]

Godtsuya

[torpid pasture]

was about to ask thx

[rigid needle]

Every game my friend! I will aim to get side missions done before I even think about starting main story XD

[wide pivot]

I only can say that, there are 3 key companions, but maybe there will be more companions who is not the "key"

[gusty forge]

Apparently classes will teach the spells! So i would definitely attend as many classes as i can before story missio s

[lucid ruin]

It’ll be hard to not play this game like an anime protagonist with plot armor that’s OP at everything.

When you start a Slytherin save file.

[flint portal]

Yeah so much classes as possible

[cinder sky]

For those of you curious about steam release times for the early access, it appears that it is at 5am on Wednesday the 8th AEDT (Australia). It says on steam that it releases on the 11th for me, and I've been keeping track of when the days till release decreases (still the same at 4am, but if you check before 6am the days remaining has decreased by 1). So hopefully that gives people a rough idea of when it might come out for them on steam, given its most likely going to be a global release time (ie exact same moment everywhere)

[lucid ruin]

When you play the side quests before the main story, but you’re a Ravenclaw.

[tepid aspen]

What do we think will be thrown at us tomorrow ?

[umbral karma]

2nd lot of youtuber content

[green delta]

I reckon they’ll go dark and hide everything else

They’ve already thrown a lot at us

[lucid ruin]

Plus the leaks are starting to come out so they’re gonna be on the defensive

[green delta]

Exactly my thoughts. A few attendees have thrown them under the bus

[umbral karma]

mm true

[arctic pebble]

i believe we are getting a new trailer

[keen bough]

Yes, on February 1st. The PlayStation house cup challenge confirmed it

[arctic pebble]

yeah that's why i said it

[bitter igloo]

PS seems to be giving a new trailer, but id imagine that after that one, they'll just not really put much more out

[tawdry sigil]

I mean the game would be coming out in 2 weeks after they don't need to show anymore

Would just be excessive

[vocal helm]

One week for early access if it’s tomorrow

[tiny cloud]

Sooo has anyone gotten their physical copy early

[tall rock]

I took Tuesday off work so i can play lol

[bitter igloo]

yes some have

[tiny cloud]

Spicy

Need to search for spoilers then

[bitter igloo]

i think most are taken down, a person on reddit got banned

[keen bough]

Any new info or spoilers? I can’t find any more

[tall rock]

I cant beliehe it’s coming ive been following the game since it first rumoured years ago

[keen bough]

Yeah I saw some stuff they posted

[keen bough]

Yes, I’ve been waiting since the rumours and videos from 2018

[tall rock]

Yeah that bad quality video that came out

[silk sparrow]

snapes in the game

[keen bough]

Loll yea

[tiny cloud]

I don’t want to get spoiled much but need to lower my expectations lol

[umbral karma]

snape dies

[keen bough]

Snape’s feeling a little devious with those eye brows

[feral locust]

Irl

[keen bough]

Lol. Spoilers don’t bother me much, which is why I’m enjoying seeing all these leaked screenshots etc

[silk sparrow]

LEAKS EVERYWHERE

[tall rock]

I have so high expectations hope i dont get disappointed

[keen bough]

As long as you expect everything avalanche has confirmed and shown us, you won’t be disappointed

[tall rock]

It’s pretty awesome

[bitter igloo]

good you are in the spoiler channel

[silk sparrow]

LEVI-OSA

[feral locust]

Omfg

[tall rock]

Imma watch the movies tngt lol

[keen bough]

Am I allowed to post the screenshots I found? Or no, because they’re not officially from avalanche?

[tall rock]

Send them to me lol

[green delta]

Ron definitely been at it again with his transfiguration lessons

[bitter igloo]

no that would go against their TOS

[feral locust]

Let me see

[silk sparrow]

my friend gets his copy tomorrow

im gonna get to play it on xbox

[sudden umbra]

send them in dm

[bitter igloo]

cool 😄

[sudden umbra]

record gameplay

[silk sparrow]

he said he will pick it up at 4:30 he gotta do school pick up and then head to the store to grab it

[sudden umbra]

or stream under a weird title

and send the link

[bitter igloo]

insta ban lmao

[sudden umbra]

he could use a new account

[bitter igloo]

wouldn't change anything tho

plus you shouldn't be trying to go against WB's TOS, or NDA

he himself can be in trouble if he streams the game

[feral locust]

How

[sudden umbra]

nothing a vpn cant fix

[tall rock]

Legal stuff u think

Copyright etc

[bitter igloo]

still shouldn't do it

[silk sparrow]

local store sell copy the day they get them in stock, for £10 more than rrp with no receipt

[green delta]

VPN’s are easily bypassed if you have the tools

[feral locust]

Rrp?

[silk sparrow]

recommended retail price

[sudden umbra]

or use a tor browser

[gusty forge]

Dunno if you know already but here

[bitter igloo]

not only copyright, the game isn't out yet, there is still an NDA

[crimson solstice]

Midnight for whom though? 😂😂

[bitter igloo]

what time zone is that tho? do we know that

[sudden umbra]

midnight where you live?

[acoustic light]

Yea?

[crimson solstice]

What happened to that Reddit guy from earlier, is he still around?

[sudden umbra]

he deleted his account

[umbral karma]

all platforms?

[green delta]

Me! I’ve booked off 7th & 8th!😂

[crimson solstice]

Can't be, that would be a different time for someone else

[sudden umbra]

for avoid backlash

[gusty forge]

Probably means local? 😂😂 I dunno

[sudden umbra]

most games do it that way

[crimson solstice]

They can't, sure midnight for me is poor 2pm for Americans

That way I'd have the game 10hrs before they do, or China would have it hours before me for example

[sudden umbra]

yes

why do you think people make accounts in australia

to get the game 8h earlier than everyone else

[bitter igloo]

still wondering about pc release time

[silk sparrow]

same as gotham knights

5pm gmt probably

like almost all games ever

[bitter igloo]

aight

[crimson solstice]

Hope my collector edition is on time, we have a bank holiday on 6th

[gusty forge]

I asked them in the tweet, if i get a reply ill let you know

[lost nacelle]

Why did you decide to get the Collectors edition?

[simple nymph]

I do not think this is an official account

[acoustic light]

@ me here or DM the answer, please and thanks.

[bitter igloo]

might be true haha

[crimson solstice]

Wanted it to be my first one, it's not worth it but have been following this game religiously and wanted to mark it. Also knew the wand and book had game value

[simple nymph]

We know console is local midnight, PC is still TBA

[bitter igloo]

account isn't verified or even has an Official under the name

[lost nacelle]

Huh interesting

[crimson solstice]

Also my job paid for it ha

[gusty forge]

It says community, although with how twitter is nowdays with twitter blue and gold etc, there is no way to know

[lost nacelle]

Same here

[acoustic light]

True

[bitter igloo]

well blue checkmark is the normal one/the one you can also pay for, the gold checkmark is for orgz and companys

[gusty forge]

Yeah but even i can buy the blue one, its not how you distinguish official/simple users etc anymore

[bitter igloo]

i mean yes you can pay for it, but it is also what was given to people before EM owned twitter

you'd have to be stupid with your money tho if you made an account named after something like HL community, and then pay for the bluecheck, cause it's sub based

[lost nacelle]

Indeed

[gusty forge]

I hope even if they are not official, at least they have some insider info!

[bitter igloo]

and you'd have to be on iOS since they are the only ones that can get it atm, it's 11 bucks a month

[silk sparrow]

no loading screens they said

[bitter igloo]

i really hope that isn't on pc at release

[queen shore]

So do the physical copys arrive on the 7th?

[silk sparrow]

it will be they gotta load the area

its not cached on ram

[umbral karma]

its not a new screen to load tho could be worse

[sour tundra]

Well, it doesn't go to another screen while loading, haha. I noticed that in the previews. Mildly annoying. We'll see how it goes.

[umbral karma]

watch out ps4 hahahaha

[crimson solstice]

That guy said he hadn't encountered any

[bitter igloo]

can't be too sure tho

[silk sparrow]

not adding a splash to the loading thing doesnt really escape the fact its a loading screen its just dont in a slightly more immersive way without taking you out of the game

[bitter igloo]

hmm, still tho, it wasn't everytime that, that happened

[silk sparrow]

true it seemed to be more frequent in the fidelity plays

[bitter igloo]

ye

[sour tundra]

Yeah, that's where I noticed it most.

[silk sparrow]

the performance mode ones it didnt really happen

[bitter igloo]

i just hope there are some dapper suits in the game

[sonic coyote]

I saw these but they only were like for a couple of seconds. It's not a minute long loading screen thank god 😛

[rough frigate]

Apparently diving under water is in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUaqsfHa37Y

[lime elbow]

did you guys see the trophy list

[silk sparrow]

almost 10 seconds of loading lol

[sour tundra]

That was the worst one I saw.

That was a bit much.

[sour tundra]

I saw that thread on Reddit. The OP deleted it. I'm wondering if he got in some trouble for it.

[rough frigate]

Possibly

[silk sparrow]

its not like the end of the world, but cause its kinda open world you are gonna be in and out of these doors a lot and it will just get tedious

[bitter igloo]

if it's the dude that posted a lot of stuff they got banned on reddit

[sour tundra]

No, it's someone different. He claimed to be a QA tester for the game and son of one of the developers.

[bitter igloo]

oh that guy, yea im pretty sure they got into trouble too

[rough frigate]

Legit source then?

[round vortex]

It's been confirmed by everyone with the preview their is no free diving

Only swimming

[bitter igloo]

not sure, they could've gotten the game early

[flint portal]

No there is swimming is confirmed

[round vortex]

How are you testing this?

[rough frigate]

It only confirms they couldn't swim in the preview. You might be able to swim under water if you get gillyweed or learn the bublehead charm

[flint portal]

But how long is a question

[sour tundra]

According to the guy claiming there was diving, he said it was conditional (like maybe only in certain places or something).

[bitter igloo]

looking at the vid

[round vortex]

Andy reloads confirmed with a dev there is no diving

[sour tundra]

Whether that's legit or not, who knows.

[silk sparrow]

i watched tyhe guy on the preview

[round vortex]

Oh yeah the previews had loading times even on PS5 SSD lol, but they said it'll be better come launch

[bitter igloo]

hopefully'

[lime elbow]

where’s this from

[round vortex]

I'm thinking odd caves may have a dive and resurface but they'll be no random diving spots is all

[silk sparrow]

i hope there is a storyline where the poachers win i dont like animals

[keen bough]

Twitter. Which was found from Reddit

Oop - am I not supposed to post that? Sorry

[bitter igloo]

so leak, not spoiler

[quaint osprey]

Its classed as unofficial and not allowed to be posted

[keen bough]

Ah ok sorry.

[quaint osprey]

You're fine, didn't know

[keen bough]

So is it only a spoiler if it’s from avalanche?

[silk sparrow]

will be hilarious if the guy was just memeing on reddit and doesnt even know what HP is

[keen bough]

Lolll

[quaint osprey]

It really would ngl

[silk sparrow]

i noticed

[proven sequoia]

Was this only on the 60fps? Or also the 30fps? I thought people that played on 30fps also had loading times but not so long as 10sec

[silk sparrow]

the problem with his answers

without listing them

was they were super generic

like when a psychic person read about you on facebook and tell you -- stuff gon happen

and you know its cause they read your facebook

[feral locust]

f it, i believe it

[fiery badge]

Probably should be fixed before released so it's a minor problem tbh.

[feral locust]

letsgooo

[sour tundra]

I'm just glad we can mount up while in the water.

[fiery badge]

You can only mount on land - some random game

[rough frigate]

You can get on your broom while swimming

[round vortex]

Yeah you can

[silk sparrow]

the double doors i found on both fidelity and performance mode, the smaller rooms seem to be MORE prevalent on fidelity mode.

[round vortex]

Was in gameplay

[sour tundra]

I might get way out in the middle of the lake and then get too lazy to swim back to shore. 😂

[violet wadi]

Is that on ps5?

[silk sparrow]

yes

all footage is on ps5

official*

[violet wadi]

Ahaa okey

Yea of course

[floral grove]

how are they going to make this game on the switch????

[violet wadi]

Good question

But it is possible though

[fiery badge]

LMAO that is fr me. I would be 3 yards away from land and i'll still use my mount just to get back on land.

[rough frigate]

graphics toned down

[bitter igloo]

144p 25fps

[sour tundra]

BTW, was that on performance or fidelity? The ten second loading, I mean.

[silk sparrow]

im pretty sure they will just be like "lets just hope we dont set fire to people switch;s and put it out"

[fiery badge]

Like any game put that in low quality.

[proven sequoia]

I hope they fix this

[silk sparrow]

how to make switch game : graphics -9320%

[sour tundra]

Might as well just port over PS1 HP game.

[fiery badge]

They've done it on MK11, and other Triple AAA games with high graphics, but for an open world game?

Honestly idk.

Could work, but they pretty much are making another game just for the switch

Lost cause tbh.,

[floral grove]

seems like something only nintendo could pull off

[fiery badge]

Well it is nintendo

[lime elbow]

did you guys see the trophy list

[fiery badge]

Nah

[silk sparrow]

i got a more powerful switch

[fiery badge]

Probably gonna avoid that

[lime elbow]

seems like ppl on xbox were able to view it

some cool stuff in there

[wide pivot]

nice

[sour tundra]

The achievements are now available to view on Epic, too. I've been avoiding the list.

[silk sparrow]

my switch got 3080 and 5900x

[lime elbow]

neat. there’s definitely some small spoilers in there

but nothing massive

[wide pivot]

it emulator right?

[silk sparrow]

yea, i actually do own a pair of switches for they are my kids

[sour tundra]

I actually saw a couple of them when someone posted a pic somewhere. The two I saw were probably the biggest spoilers, haha.

[lime elbow]

hahaha which were the ones you saw?

[wide pivot]

working nice? no glitch, lagging or problems with sounds?

[silk sparrow]

nope works fine, once your shaders are built its all gucci, arguably the high res texture pack and some fps mods can make em look like pc titles

[sour tundra]

I'm gonna spoiler it even though this is spoiler chat. ||Something about finding a Deathly Hallow and Rescuing a Dragon (which isn't such a big spoiler now, but at the time the list had been leaked so we hadn't seen as much footage)||

[lime elbow]

ahhhh yeah

[bitter igloo]

is that spoiler or leak tho

[sour tundra]

The achievement list is officially released so it's not a leak at this point.

[lime elbow]

it was a leak at one point, but now the trophy list is officially released

[bitter igloo]

aight

i haven't seen the achievements my self

[lime elbow]

https://www.ggrecon.com/guides/hogwarts-legacy-trophy-list/

^^ the list for anyone that’s interested

spoilers obviously

[feral locust]

damn

guess im out of this section, peace homies

[sour tundra]

See you on the other side.

[wintry spear]

I don't want spoilers but curious to know if any of the achievements require multiple playthroughs as different houses. Can someone tell me that bit? :v

[lime elbow]

yes, there are achievements specific to houses

so if you want to platinum the game, you will have to playthrough as every house

[silent snow]

leaks are not allowed here

[bitter igloo]

||wield a deathly hallow, sounds like it'll be the wand tbh||
