[quasi breach]

Yeah...but I'd feel guilty for having to kill the Aurors.

[grizzled sparrow]

I would too...for like a second (If I was a dark wizard)

[serene sail]

A morality system would've been cool, added some more realism to friendships especially, but also it would've made things like finding loot and collection chests a right pain in the ear because as it is right now we can just waltz into people's homes and they don't care lmao

[quasi breach]

😂 Yeah. Imagine if you had to wait until the residents' backs were turned or something.

[serene sail]

Confringo was also supposed to dock you House points when it's the only long-range fire damage spell and the only one that can reach some Field Guide pages, which would seem a bit counter-intuitive to the purpose of the Field Guide in the first place

[quasi breach]

Very true. Maybe that's part of the reason why the house point system was axed.

[mortal prairie]

Oh shoot i forgot about this server. I preordered the game, played like 40 mins of it, never played it again. Is it worth it or nah

[quasi breach]

Absolutely worth it!

[native root]

Yes you can change the difficulty in the setting even mid game!

[glass eagle]

I just wish u felt more like a student of hogwarts tbh

that's my main criticism of the game

not necessarily that it had to be a school simulator but hogwarts just felt like something u pass through rather than actually a school

[quasi breach]

What would you want them to do? Give MC a twenty-inch essay for homework?

[humble sequoia]

Heard that's in Hogwarts Legacy 2

👀

[analog star]

My uncle who works at Nintendo can confirm. Release date 2345! Perfect for my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandchildren

[glass eagle]

nah but u could actually attend classes and go to school events and stuff

[analog star]

[glass eagle]

u only actually attend 1 class for every subject and theyre really short

[glass eagle]

something that surprisingly hogwarts mystery did better despite being a terrible game in general

[analog star]

Should've just put the minigames from PS Home Pottermore tbh

[glass eagle]

there could've been electives and stuff as well

[analog star]

[humble sequoia]

Wow....

[glass eagle]

if they do it for the next game it'd be great

[humble sequoia]

Mine said 6,000,638,858

[glass eagle]

i really enjoyed the game but it felt like generic open world rpg too much of the time, which is not a bad thing necessarily but i feel like it couldve been so much more

[amber sphinx]

With a fan base as big as the HP one is, there's definitely a balance to work with. I always felt like it was a trip with the movies & they definitely got that right with the game. I go to sleep on the soundtrack & definitely after a broom ride. I sleep better after playing it, but that's just me.

[glass eagle]

for a first attempt, it's pretty good though

definitely couldve been a lot worse

[humble sequoia]

FR

[heady ridge]

Too me, I finally went home when I booted up this game

[glass eagle]

especially since avalanche was a tiny studio before the game

[humble sequoia]

You're not the only one....

[analog star]

The issue is simply lacking a vision in terms of game design ngl

They want to be a mix of everything but causes the project to lack a concrete identity as a result

[glass eagle]

true

i feel like a lot of the rpg elements just didnt need to be there

the gear system was bad

[analog star]

Is it an RPG? Barely. It's solely focused on the action combat aspect. They marketed it as a "choice-driven RPG" but nothing really mattered save for one choice

[amber sphinx]

Sometimes what we need after work is that broom ride & a fight with the baddies to calm back down. Just to work off the frustration to finally let the soundtrack put us into a nap.

[glass eagle]

yeah the lack of choice was disappointing

[heady ridge]

Walking familiar and not so familiar corridors, taking a nice night time ride on my broom, relaxing in my common room, watching the weeds sway in the currents and the fish swimming by, occasionally hearing something interesting from my fellow classmates, and attending classes at Hogwarts

[glass eagle]

the lack of actual school things to do in hogwarts is probably the biggest disappointment though

[analog star]

But really from a game design perspective

[glass eagle]

most of the stuff to do is typical open world stuff sadly

[analog star]

The game doesn't hook my gamer needs

Which is why it's a good game if you're a hardcore Potterhead

Not so much if you're a gamer and can see the barebones gameplay structure of it

[heady ridge]

Maybe we should petition them to focus more on classes, now that there is a Switch port, you can use the Joycons as actual wands if they were so inclined

[glass eagle]

im not a hardcore gamer so I hadnt played a ton of open world rpgs before this game, if i had i probably wouldve enjoyed it less

[analog star]

I am a chronic gamer so my gripe is it's nature as a "game"

[glass eagle]

i actually really enjoyed the very little classes we did get

[analog star]

It felt more like a tech demo than an AAA game

[heady ridge]

I am just Wizarding world head

[glass eagle]

which was why it was really disappointing it was just 1 per subject

[humble sequoia]

WTF is "chronic gamer"

[heady ridge]

I refuse to call myself a Potterhead, saint Potter... Blegh

[glass eagle]

I feel like they did get a lot right though especially for a first try

the combat system was great

[analog star]

Something I use to insult myself for averaging almost every game I have around 60 hours minimum and 500 hours if I liked it

In other words a hardcore gamer

[glass eagle]

miles ahead of what the book/film adaptation games did

[heady ridge]

Oh for sure

[glass eagle]

they were effectively third person shooters and this game was so much more

[analog star]

The combat system is alright. The enemies just suck

[heady ridge]

Maybe the tech demo thing is a more accurate description

[analog star]

Repetitive combat wears its welcome easily

[heady ridge]

Maybe the real meat is in the sequel

[analog star]

Ehh I don't think so

Considering I prefer to tamper my expectations now

[heady ridge]

Anyway

[analog star]

Because companies are not your friend lmao

[heady ridge]

I think it's safe to say, Portkey is our friend, lol

[analog star]

Portkey is a publishing label not developers

[glass eagle]

i cant say i really got bored of the combat tbh even though the enemies were similar

[analog star]

The games underneath Portkey are Hogwarts Mystery, Hogwarts Legacy and Magic Awakened all developed by different studios

They don't make games

They're just a trademark label

[heady ridge]

Oh it's fun to keep an enemy suspended in mid air after casting Cruciotus on them

[analog star]

The ones who developed HL are Avalanche Studios not Portkey

[glass eagle]

the imperio one was the most fun tbh

[heady ridge]

See.. I do not max out my offense.. so I can have more fun with my prey

[analog star]

But it being a subsidiary of WarnerBros is leaving me sceptical

[glass eagle]

just getting the strongest enemy to destroy the rest of their buddies

[analog star]

Because large corporations care about maximising profits first

Not so much good gameplay

[heady ridge]

Thing about something like Legacy, Warner Bros would be wise not letting their greed and wants get in the way here

[analog star]

So I'd rather not make wishlists of the next installation since I know how corpos tend to think

[heady ridge]

This is the kind of game a lot of now adults have been waiting for

Might even be so inclined to put aside their disagreements and get JK involved herself to pull the rights away

If Warners screws this up as badly as they could

[analog star]

Nah likely not

Corporations want the outcome with the most minimal risk these days

So I doubt JKR would be involved

[glass eagle]

jkr wont be involved

[heady ridge]

Exactly and the most minimal risk they could have, is not make the Potter fandom go nuclear

[analog star]

And their recent focus to "live-service games" are a cause of concern for me

Based on a statement issued by their CEO

[heady ridge]

JK is essentially the nuke here, neither side wants her but one side might use her if they feel that is for the best

[analog star]

Nah

[heady ridge]

Rabid fans are a thing man

[analog star]

I don't think JKR cares enough for video games ngl

[heady ridge]

Nah probably not, but the attention she might care for

[analog star]

Seeing as she's not involved in any of development process for all three games

She just greenlights projects

And get royalties out of it

[heady ridge]

Clearly since Siorna Ryan exists, which I wouldn't have any other way, she is a badass witch

[analog star]

But I doubt she'll be actually involved in scriptwriting

[heady ridge]

It takes some spine to stand up to the likes of Rookwood

Knowing the possible consequences

[glass eagle]

hogwarts legacy definitely did diversity 10x better than the original books

[analog star]

Still I'm sceptical of the future of this IP in a way that WB CEO mentions wanting to incorporate more "live-service games" in their IPs

This can mean more scummy MTX ridden mobile games like Hogwarts Mystery

A game I dropped in 2020 because it was getting way too pay to win for my liking

[heady ridge]

Ultimately however diversity did win in the books, because Tom was an idiot

I mean call me crazy but Harry and company were pretty diverse for wizard kind

Working with Goblins, standing up to rich powerful Pureblood to defend their Muggleborn friends

[glass eagle]

i hate that game so much

[analog star]

Same tbh nothing redeemable about it plot wise and gameplay wise

[glass eagle]

even though I used to play it constantly just to get a fix of wizarding world 😂

[amber sphinx]

We also win with Ominis' outspokeness on his family for being "pureblood maniacs" as he put it. Loved that call-out so much from him.

[analog star]

I'm not paying JamCity $5 for energy refills

[heady ridge]

Some of the Blacks were like that too

[analog star]

Garbage gameplay with predatory MTX tactics

[heady ridge]

And Draco eventually

[glass eagle]

it couldve been a good game if the entire gameplay loop wasnt waiting and pressng buttons

some of the plotlines were interesting

magic awakened seems to have done that better though i havent played much of it

[analog star]

The gameplay was the worst part. And the devs forcing that Merula chick down my throat made me hate it even more

[heady ridge]

I still like the theory of Muggleborns

They were descendants of Squibs from what are now considered extinct magical lines

[glass eagle]

lol she was written so badly

and even though her entire character was being awful

they tried to redeem her constantly

[analog star]

Attempts murder in her First Year? Why is she a romance interest?

She tried to kill the MC more than three times up to Year 6

I don't wanna deal with her

[heady ridge]

It makes sense, both of you have a checkered history with relatives

[analog star]

Garbage character

[heady ridge]

But yeah she was horribly written

[glass eagle]

it's also funny how the time to pass a year grows exponentially

im not sure if theyve even finished making the game by now

[heady ridge]

Well it's a mobile game so.. actually was my crutch till I could get Legacy

[amber sphinx]

True, but Ominis didn't hold back on calling out his family & I loved it. That was such a king move too since he's blind from that most likely too.

[analog star]

They started adding post-Hogwarts content last I heard

But I can't be arsed to play it again

[heady ridge]

Oh yeah Ominus is awesome

[analog star]

I'm not interested in the romance bits myself since I don't play games for romance

[glass eagle]

lol

[heady ridge]

I think I am getting close to learning Imperius curse

[glass eagle]

it's unfortunate how magic awakned is a much better game

[heady ridge]

Sebastian wants me to meet him at some place looking for the relic

[glass eagle]

but came out after hogwarts legacy

so it's kinda redundant from my perspective now

[analog star]

MA didn't have Merula so it'll be better by default heh

[heady ridge]

Rather disappointed I never got to see what was in Slytherins spellbook

Damn it Avalanche.. you could at least give us Slytherins that chance

[analog star]

Time crunch

For me I might be going into some crackpot theory levels of speculation but...

I think the project focused too much on art direction, they ditched everything else in terms of writing

[heady ridge]

I am just gonna go... And uh... Discipline them till they spill the beans

I want to see that spellbook

[analog star]

The writing and game design are its weakest point

The spellbook though might only have textured tacked on pages iirc

Eh lemme go replay that quest for a bit to see what's on the textures

[amber sphinx]

Has no shame in putting his foot down & I love it! One of Salazar's own callin out the whole fam on their own idiocracy? Spill that tea Ominis! We want more of that!! I want to see Ominis & MC put his whole family in their place for what they did to him.

[heady ridge]

They came up with an idea of what might be inside it, and I will find out what they planned

Although.. I would like to know something more.. that I think every fan wants to know

How are Horcruxes made?

We never got closure on that

[glass eagle]

it's funny how u can rebuff ominis at every point and he will still listen to you

[analog star]

I never understood that either ngl

[heady ridge]

Now now, Ominus is being a bit unfair to his family, after all, Cruciotus being used on you builds character

[analog star]

I wanted to craft some sort of negative relationship between my character and him

[quasi breach]

You’re joking, right? 😰

[analog star]

But why does he listen to my character despite you know... Not making sense?

[heady ridge]

No, let me show you, raises wand Crucio!

[glass eagle]

also the fact he doesnt listen to sebastian at all and totally trusts and respects u even if ur mean to him

even though he barely knows you

[analog star]

Both of them act this way towards the player lmao

Distrust each other but let's trust this rando who was here for like a month

And they're supposed to be best friends lmao

[quasi breach]

Me thinks we were just pretending not to know Imperio…. 👀 /j

[analog star]

Plot Imperio induced shenanigans yeah

[glass eagle]

yeah

[heady ridge]

The Gaunts are rather unique, perhaps in some way Ominus can sense ancient magic himself but not the level the MC can or the Keepers but because he feels a somewhat similarity to MC.. he trusts them

[quasi breach]

You mean friends don’t normally go behind each other’s backs? 😮

[heady ridge]

We do not know much about Slytherin or his descendents full capabilities

[analog star]

I'm starting to believe that they're terrible friends to each other lmao

[heady ridge]

We only know, they are highly skilled and talented in magic, particularly the Dark Arts and they can speak to snakes

[glass eagle]

idk that kinds sounds like an excuse for not great writing

[analog star]

Because Seb is only a good friend to the MC in writing

You can see it clear as day

He's terrible towards Ominis lmao

[heady ridge]

Sebastian I think is an awkward kid, he befriends MC easily because MC is equally as Awkward

[glass eagle]

but honestly they shouldnt have given u dialogue options in the first place since they dont mean anything

[quasi breach]

Maybe female!MC reminds him of Anne?

[glass eagle]

it wouldve made the writing make more sense at least

[heady ridge]

Maybe

And Ominus is awkward because of his blindness and his very different nature compared to the other Gaunts

[quasi breach]

MC and Sebastian alone together: awkward turtle intensifies

[glass eagle]

is the MC awkward?

not sure they ever acted like it

[amber sphinx]

Also gotta remember that he's the black sheep of his family.

[heady ridge]

Well I would think starting Hogwarts as a 5th year is awkward enough

[quasi breach]

Why is that relevant?

[glass eagle]

they're definitely different but i'm not sure awkward

[heady ridge]

5th year starter, surrounded by people who been in the castle for 4 years or longer

And has more in common with the new first years that are significantly younger then our lovely MC

[quasi breach]

Poor MC, figuratively sitting at the kids’ table.

[analog star]

I actually hated starting as a Fifth Year ngl

[glass eagle]

it made sense for the context of the game though

[quasi breach]

I disliked it. I understand it, but I disliked it.

[analog star]

Should've went for a timeskip intro

[glass eagle]

given how you're outside hogwarts for most of the game and kill a bunch of people

[analog star]

You start as a First Year but the game takes place in Year 5

[glass eagle]

that's reasonable

[analog star]

There problem solved

[quasi breach]

“You’re outside Hogwarts for most of the game” …….double-checks game title

[analog star]

Fallout 3 starts when your protagonist was born through intro skip sequences but only really starts when your character is an adult

[heady ridge]

I wish it started as a 1st year and we got to go on the boats to the castle, actually get the experience most of us were eating for our whole lives

[analog star]

Easy fix

The "New Fifth Year Plot" made me hate the MC

Overpowered Mary Sue

[quasi breach]

It is very Mary Sue-ish, yes.

[amber sphinx]

His hatred of them using it on him cuz he wouldn't cast it on an innocent for fun like they do isn't misplaced at least. He's got a sense of right & wrong, which is something I didn't expect from Salazar's line anywhere. The fact that his Aunt Noctua was the only one of his family he liked broke me. I cried over that one. 😢 Sebastian & Ominis break hearts together.

[analog star]

Start off with no magic but puts Big Bad Dark Wizards to shame in only a month

[heady ridge]

A pity he is a Gaunt and I am not

[glass eagle]

yeah i feel like they went overboard on the open world elements

[heady ridge]

I am more like them then he is

[glass eagle]

developers probably shouldve remembered the title of the game a bit more

[quasi breach]

My condolences.

[heady ridge]

I mean, my attraction to the Dark Arts

And how to use such power

[glass eagle]

im sure the amount of people that didnt choose to learn the dark arts is a really small minority

[analog star]

I didn't learn it because it made combat too easy

I like suffering

[glass eagle]

given it has no actual effect on the game and is really fun

[analog star]

[heady ridge]

Lol that is not true! Transfiguration makes combat easy! Lol

[analog star]

AK is a one shot button

[glass eagle]

you do learn it pretty late though

[amber sphinx]

They didn't like the fact that he refused to use Crucio for fun like they do & used it on him as punishment. Made me wanna put em in their place & it sucks that we don't get to do just that for him. That would've been such fun...

[analog star]

I would feel ashamed of my abilities if I needed to rely on it

[heady ridge]

So is the technique of turning an enemy into a barrel, lol

[analog star]

I have an ego to keep. I hate being bad at games

[glass eagle]

i found combat very easy but i always like playing games on normal since that's how developers intended

[heady ridge]

Also I actually won't use Avada Kadvera when I learn it

[analog star]

I need Hard to feel Hard

[quasi breach]

I wanna know what happened to him after the game; if he had a happy ending. 🥺

[heady ridge]

I already have my unforgivable curse

[analog star]

Eh my personal canon is that he goes off to go own some farm in the countryside. Rearing cattle is easier than dealing with people

He can play Stardew Valley in his ending. Much better than dealing my bullshit writing

[quasi breach]

So you think he’ll die alone? 😭

[analog star]

Didn't say that. Mostly just recluse from wizardkind

[amber sphinx]

I would imagine that it would depend on what you do with Sebastian since he's friends with the twins. I feel like he'd definitely go check on Anne & be with her for the summer.

[glass eagle]

slightly unrelated i really wonder how theyll manage to shake up the game enough to make it worth a sequel

[heady ridge]

I am beginning to think, most likely yes

[glass eagle]

first thing could be making hogwarts way more interactive

[heady ridge]

I think Anne is more then just a friend of his

[analog star]

I don't really look into other aspects and I genuinely don't think about shipping for him

[quasi breach]

Why?

[analog star]

Like comfy farm life is a good ending

[heady ridge]

The way he talks about her, or mentions her, it seems like he does in fact have a thing for her, and it would be a proper arrangement

Sebastian is already a bit like a brother to him

[glass eagle]

bit too much reading between the lines that i think

[analog star]

Eh there's no romance between anyone anyway in canon. It's all up to speculation

[quasi breach]

I kinda like the idea of Ominis/Anne too, but I’m not sure if there’s enough chemistry there.

[glass eagle]

they did make a point to have absolutely 0 romance elements in the game

which is a bit unrealistic but i can see why

[analog star]

It's moreso told rather than shown so they have no chemistry lol

[heady ridge]

That's the thing, maybe her curse put a stop to that

Seems like her uncle is a bit overprotective of her

[amber sphinx]

Main thing for Sebastian is his sister & Ominis cares about her too, so whatever ending you pick for Sebastian, regardless, Ominis will no doubt at least go check on Anne & be there for her. After all, it was the Sallows that got him away from his family.

[analog star]

It's mostly up to the players have to speculate on the intricacies of what is what tbh

Because the writing is super barebones

[heady ridge]

Personally I hoped Ominus is involved with another girl and the Slytherin line didn't stop with Tom Riddle

[analog star]

Maybe but idk

[quasi breach]

*Ominis

[heady ridge]

It would be a shame to lose such a unique gift as Parseltongue

[analog star]

My own ending for him personally, I don't think much of it. I prefer to give him adopted Squib kids

[heady ridge]

And a shame for such a wonderful bloodline to be lost forever

[analog star]

Because I cba to care about shipping him

It's funnier to write him disliking my MC

[quasi breach]

Wonderful? What’s so wonderful about it?

[analog star]

||Edge||

[heady ridge]

Hmmm, in case you haven't noticed my house

I would be rather bias towards its founder

[analog star]

Being in Slytherin =/= Edgelord

[quasi breach]

I’m Hufflepuff. I don’t give a rat about Helga’s lineage.

[amber sphinx]

At least Ominis has a heart & cares about his friend's sister too.

[heady ridge]

No, true we do have our edgy kids, but the main thing about being a Slytherin, is having an unhealthy amount of pride, ambition, and talent, as well as the inevitable thirst for greater power due to the pride and ambition traits we have

[analog star]

I don't make my Hogwarts House my personality tbh

[heady ridge]

Thats the thing, that has always been my personality

Hence why I always got the Slytherin result

[latent mist]

Hey guys, just a question
Discord dont show on ritch presence the Hogwarts Legacy ?
not showing people who play Hogwarts Legacy is normal or my bug?

[analog star]

It does show. If you're on Steam, it should show that you're playing the game

Did you enable the overlay or so?

[heady ridge]

Ravenclaw would probably be the other house I would be in, but my Ambition and Pride traits are bit too strong so to speak

[analog star]

I don't put too much stock in a funny magic hat's online quiz result

I just say: "OK then"

[heady ridge]

Oh no, I am rather narcissistic and stubborn

[analog star]

[heady ridge]

I do my best to manage it, but it does get the better of me from time to time

[glass eagle]

on that note the official wizarding world house test is so bad

it asks so many questions that have nothing to do with anything

[analog star]

It's randomised but meh I don't belong in any other house anyways

Because it doesn't really matter much to me

[heady ridge]

That is why I took multiple tests

[glass eagle]

the in game 3 questions or whatever they ask in hl is better than the wizarding world test

also im pretty sure they nerfed it

because i remember it being good at one point

[analog star]

No ambition in life? Definitely doesn't make me a Slytherin

[glass eagle]

rowling would probably think that made you a slytherin tbf 😂

[analog star]

Nah. I genuinely have very little Slytherin like qualities

[heady ridge]

I was a little kid and HP was the big thing in my school, clubs and such based on the houses so that's why I took those tests

[glass eagle]

what i mean is

[flint imp]

i like how you get to choose ur own hows tho

[analog star]

Too crass and brazen for Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw

[glass eagle]

in general rowling was just slytherin = bad in the books

[flint imp]

so Slytherin?

[analog star]

So Gryffindor fits me the best

[analog star]

Nope

[flint imp]

i always seem to get hufflepuff

[heady ridge]

My sympathies

[analog star]

I'm willing to admit I'm not a nice person

[quasi breach]

Slytherin is the Evil House. JKR tries to deny it, but it’s absolutely the Evil House.

[analog star]

But meh I try to be tolerable to most

[glass eagle]

yup

[analog star]

[glass eagle]

she tried to retcon that but it wasnt really successful

[heady ridge]

Not really, we just are most at risk of being evil

[flint imp]

yeahh which is why i feel bad for them sometimes

[glass eagle]

isnt there like only 1 villain that isnt slytherin in the books

[quasi breach]

They never had a chance.

[heady ridge]

More then one actually, lol

[analog star]

Eh depending on the year, there's multiple villains

[glass eagle]

in terms of major ones

[analog star]

Lockhart and Quirell were both Ravenclaws

[heady ridge]

Ravenclaw and Gryffindor are your guilty ones for bringing the Dark Lord back

[glass eagle]

idk i havent read the books in a long time

[analog star]

And Peter Pettigrew was a Gryffindor

[heady ridge]

Thank goodness Lucius Malfoy was so incompetent

[glass eagle]

that's who i was thinking of

[analog star]

So it depends on the year

[quasi breach]

In name only. Never did a single brave thing in his life.

[heady ridge]

You can't pin it on us, lol

[glass eagle]

maybe i meant to say only 1 Gryffindor villain

[analog star]

It's moreso born out of desire if anything

[flint imp]

but to quote my bro "Not all Slytherines are villains but all villains are Slytherine

[heady ridge]

We had an incompetent moron to our credit

[glass eagle]

lol yeah

[analog star]

I like to think the hat takes into account desires of the individual at the time of Sorting

[quasi breach]

Yes, we know about Crabbe.

[glass eagle]

the house system is not really as robust as jkr pretends it is

[heady ridge]

Oh I was talking about Lucius

[glass eagle]

also hufflepuff feel way too underrepresented in the books from what i remember

[quasi breach]

Oh, my second guess was Umbridge.

[analog star]

Me, myself? Highly introverted. Kind of cold and standoffish at times. Not great with people. Gryffindor it is.

My sister? Extroverted, many friends and knows her ways around people? Ravenclaw

[quasi breach]

Waaaaay under-represented.

[analog star]

You can have the opposite of the stereotypes be your house for this reason

[flint imp]

yeahh for some reason we're called the dumb ppl house

[heady ridge]

Not bad,

[flint imp]

or the nice guys house

[glass eagle]

yeah basically that lol

[quasi breach]

Or the goody-two-shoes house.

[glass eagle]

the happy go luckys

[heady ridge]

I care not for politicians or their bootlickers

A Cruciotus easily puts them in their place

[analog star]

But in all fairness, I don't put too much stock in a fictional house. It is what it is

[heady ridge]

And Imperious is so useful making them do what you want

I rather not like Avada... Way to easy tbh and boring, I mean.. they just drop dead

[flint imp]

painless death atleast

[quasi breach]

Even Hagrid doesn’t like Hufflepuff. 😭

[heady ridge]

Honestly out of the 3 unforgivables I cannot for the life of me see what makes Avada on the list

It's more humane then the legal spells

[flint imp]

yeah but its still murder

[glass eagle]

it's basically just gyrffindor - brawn ravenclaw - brains - hufflepuff - happy fools slytherin - evil

[flint imp]

painless death buut still murder

[quasi breach]

Perhaps because it’s almost impossible to defend against.

[glass eagle]

according to jkr

[heady ridge]

So is Bombarda or literally any other fire spell

[analog star]

Only if you want to be

[glass eagle]

they have uses outside of killing people though

[analog star]

I'm not athletic nor do I like sports

[heady ridge]

Or hell, a well aimed Diffendo

[analog star]

I'm a computer nerd who writes and draws sometimes

[heady ridge]

I actually flinched when I saw that spell in action on Legacy

[flint imp]

yeahh and avada is made soley for killing

[glass eagle]

yup

[heady ridge]

Like damn.. you can feel the cut from just looking at it

[latent mist]

just show the name of game but not the image

[flint imp]

i like to think of it as
Gryffindor- Bravery, helping others, and chivalry.

Hufflepuff- Hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play.

Ravenclaw- Intelligence, knowledge, planning ahead, and wit.

Slytherin- Ambition, cunningness, heritage, and resourcefulness.

[glass eagle]

in terms of how we think of it now yeah

[quasi breach]

Gryffindor = People Who Matter; Ravenclaw = Smart Nerds; Slytherin = Dumb Jocks Who Bullied Rowling in School; Hufflepuff = People Who Exist

[glass eagle]

but when jkr was writing the books she didnt think all that hard

she mainly just wanted a good and evil house

and the other 2 houses are filler

[heady ridge]

If I may.. aside from Gryffindor, I could respect the other houses and even equivalent them to my own in how great they are

[analog star]

k

[heady ridge]

Sorry but Golden Trio ruined it for you Gryffindors

[analog star]

I mean I'm just some random on the net

We aren't friends

[heady ridge]

Never said we were

[flint imp]

cries in hufflepuff

[analog star]

I'm addressing the other person

I'm largely neutral to most people

But meh they don't seem like someone I'd click with as a friend

[quasi breach]

comforts in Hufflepuff

[analog star]

[flint imp]

hugs in hufflepuff

[glass eagle]

still love how nonsensical it is that hermione is in gryffindor

[heady ridge]

Nice way of talking about me in the third person.. lol you sure you would fit in Gryffindor?

[flint imp]

oh yeah she should’ve definitely be in Ravenclaw

[glass eagle]

it's basicaly just to make the plot simpler by having her in the same house as harry and ron

[analog star]

Nah not really. I'm close to her in terms of personality

[flint imp]

and hot take: Ron should've been in Slytherine

[balmy laurel]

Good morning sunshine 🌞

[analog star]

I'm in Gryffindor for the same reasons as she is

[glass eagle]

reasonable yeah

[analog star]

Yeah I would. Why do you care?

[glass eagle]

but i mean, ravenclaw is basically just nerds from the definition jkr goes by

and hermione is the ultimate archetype of that

[heady ridge]

I really don't tbh but if you aren't willing to take a compliment, not my problem

[glass eagle]

like she's probably nerdier than all the ravenclaws

[quasi breach]

True. Couldn’t have Harry in Gryffindor, Ron in Hufflepuff, Hermione in Ravenclaw, and I dunno…Neville in Slytherin. Waaaay too much diversity.

[glass eagle]

that actually couldve made for an interesting plot

[analog star]

Easier to have them grouped in the same Common Room

[glass eagle]

yep

[analog star]

Based on how the dorm system worked

It was easier to have them in one place

[analog star]

Wasn't a compliment in the slightest

[astral steeple]

is there a dlc or hogwars 2 confirmed

[analog star]

No. TBA

[heady ridge]

Whatever you say man, lol

[quasi breach]

Right?

[analog star]

Considering how far apart the castle has it's dorms

[glass eagle]

yeah hog wars you choose to fight as a boar or a hog

[analog star]

It would be hard for Harry and Ron to rendezvous at night somewhere to discuss the current mystery McGuffin plot

[glass eagle]

yeah it wouldve been hard to write i guess

[flint imp]

this got me thinking

[glass eagle]

but interesting

[analog star]

So it's easier to have Harry and Ron in the same place like their dorm room to discuss these things

[flint imp]

i wonder wot Villains from the other 3 houses would be like

[analog star]

So it was written out of convenience ngl

[glass eagle]

but i guess, they had to make the trio different enough to avoid all making them the same character

[quasi breach]

Yes, but the book should have had the students being encouraged to have interhouse friendships, rather than being in four separate echo chambers, you know?

[flint imp]

Gryphindor,Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff i mean

[glass eagle]

but still had to put them all in the same house

[analog star]

JKR didn't think that far

[glass eagle]

a hufflepuff villain just sounds funny

[heady ridge]

Hard to imagine a Hufflepuff being a villain

[analog star]

Anyone can be evil. Houses don't matter tbh

[glass eagle]

are they gonna torture people by making them laugh uncontrollably

[analog star]

[flint imp]

yeah coz we can never do wrong right? or maybe thats wot we want u to think

[heady ridge]

But Ravenclaw, genius mastermind, Gryffindor, good old fashion conqueror with a lot of courage

[analog star]

My ex was a Hufflepuff and he was a scumbag who enjoyed toying with women. But I'm not gonna say it's everyone

People are people first

House tribalism is pointless which is why I don't put too much stock it in and value my individualism the most

[heady ridge]

Ah.. relationships, I enjoy them like they are clouds on a breeze, trivial things that are pretty to look at

[analog star]

Anyone can be the worst person ever regardless of their Hogwarts House

[flint imp]

i was thinking Hufflepuff being would be the Love Makes You Evil type, who will do horrible things from a motivation of love rather than power, righteousness, or knowledge.

[heady ridge]

Well they do say those who know great love will know great hatred

[glass eagle]

it wouldve been so easy for jkr to write the houses better tbh

[quasi breach]

😒 Because in no conceivable scenario could someone who values loyalty, hard work, and justice ever find themselves in the position of antagonist.

[glass eagle]

like even the best slytherins are terrible people for most of the books

[analog star]

I can easily craft a Hufflepuff villain right now

The Lawful Good Paladin who shuts down opposition in every possible way. Don't agree with the Ministry? Jail. No matter how corrupt the politician you're serving is

[glass eagle]

I mean they're basically just written to be nice and stupid

[analog star]

So long as you're loyal to society

[glass eagle]

which is the antithesis of what villains are

[analog star]

There a Hufflepuff villain

[quasi breach]

Thank you. 😌

[flint imp]

either that or a villain that prioritizes loyalty over all things. You’re either with them or against them. If you prioritize anything over the group, including your own loved ones or your moral values, then you are an enemy and must be destroyed.

[analog star]

It's about perception not thinking in preconceived boxes

[heady ridge]

Count Dooku

[glass eagle]

that starts sounding like a gyrffindor though tbh

[heady ridge]

Dooku sounds very similar to the villain you just crafted

[quasi breach]

Hufflepuffs are known for loyalty, not Gryffindor.

[analog star]

Yeah which is why it's easier than you guys think it is

[glass eagle]

yeah i was about to bring that up

[heady ridge]

Guy was against corruption of all forms, and it eventually led him onto a path of corruption and darkness

[analog star]

The "Good Guy" who is a staunch loyalist to society becoming an oppressor is an easy Hufflepuff villain

[glass eagle]

but like if i think of the stereotypical hufflepuff

they'd try to see the good in everyone

[analog star]

Never challenge the status quo. Do everything by the book

[glass eagle]

rather than arbitrarily branding people as evil

[heady ridge]

Agreed

[analog star]

But what happens if the masters you serve are genocidal scumbags?

They say it's right

You don't question it

[glass eagle]

I really wish we couldve seen things like this in the books rather than just making slytherin = bad

[quasi breach]

Yes.

[analog star]

For sure but that's why I write fanfic

[glass eagle]

but that's the issue when you effectively create a good and evil house

[analog star]

Can't see what I wanna see? I just write it for myself

[flint imp]

thankgod someone else said it first

[heady ridge]

Based on that guys description of a Hufflepuff villain

[glass eagle]

while all the lore of hp is amazing the story itself is full of typical fantasy tropes unfortunately

[analog star]

Guy? I'm a woman

[heady ridge]

Guy is a neutral term for me, like dude and man, my apologies for any offense

[quasi breach]

It’s not gender-neutral for me.

[heady ridge]

You hang around with hippies long enough everything is gender neutral

[glass eagle]

little bit far im not sure id start shoehorning houses into political ideologies

[analog star]

I don't really think of specific examples tbh

Just a general sense of serving tyrants

There's more in the past that predates them

[heady ridge]

They made their own rulebook, and followed it

[glass eagle]

did they though?

[heady ridge]

Basically

[glass eagle]

what rulebook was that

it was made up on the spot to serve their needs

[analog star]

Most extremist ideologies tend to operate that way

[glass eagle]

indeed

[analog star]

You have a belief and you want to carry out a goal is all that matters

But yeah you can make a villain out of any house if you ventured into the traits beyond surface level perception

[amber sphinx]

I get to stay up late & I'm off for another 24 hours is nice. Plus no school for my kid? Hello happiness.

[heady ridge]

I will switch you

You can have my thankless job for 8 hours, I take another day off

I mean... You get free food as a trade-off, eh?

[amber sphinx]

I'm the GM of a tiny restaurant with no drive-thru. I get Sundays & Mondays off per corporate's schedule, but my boss doesn't really care what 2 days I take off as long as I get my 45 hours minimum in. I do 46 in 5 days, but the big wigs are all "do 50" I'm like "naw... what's the minimum I can work without getting docked the pay?" They said 45... so I'm doing no more than 46 when possible.

[humble sequoia]

LMAOOO WHY DID YOU JUST WORD THIS LIKE THAT

[serene sail]

No. If you turn Sebastian in you don't see him again and therefore can't learn any of the Unforgiveables if you didn't already.

[native root]

Best to put questions like this in #‼-spoilers-general-‼

[lethal silo]

Let keep topics of that nature off this server all of you please. And if and when these conversations start it's best to notify a mod of them

[sand moon]

Why do you keep deleting my comments though?

[lethal silo]

Because their not appropriate for the server

It's best for you to notify a mod and ask us instead of drawing more intention to it or trying to take action yourself

[sand moon]

Oh but everyone elses is? What I said was absolutely mild but ok...

[lethal silo]

We are just now learning about this conversation to begin with as lot of us are busy on the weekends or holidays. Users need to ping us or dm us when conversations that do not belong here happen

I'm going through everything as of now

[sand moon]

Ok that's fair. But I don't like feeling like I'm being singled out, or being targeted for no reason. Just like with the other guy in the other server who was trying to start things over a conversation that never existed. Guy saw my profile says Xbox and decided to run his mouth out of nowhere.

[lethal silo]

Let me handle things and deal with it. Your not being targeted it's just that I see your comments pop up and their not as innocent either

[eager hamlet]

Is HL worth it to buy? Tryna get some more reviews since it's on sell rn

[lethal silo]

It's best to just stop and move on and let us mods handle things and not get yourself in hot water

[analog star]

Your mileage may vary depending on how much you love the IP

[eager hamlet]

IP as in?

[analog star]

Intellectual Property. Basically the series. If you Harry Potter, you may get some enjoyment out of it

[sand moon]

Intellectual Property.

[eager hamlet]

Ohh, I pretty much never finished the entire series of Harry Potter, I watched some start of episodes and that's pretty much it

But overally, it looks like a good game and people are enjoying it soo

[analog star]

What would you like to know?

The game's enjoyment does rely on how much you love the IP

[eager hamlet]

To be honest, that's a good question

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for it

[analog star]

Hmmm

Seeing it's on sale, I would say that the price on sale better reflects the content in the game itself than the full asking price

So if you want to get the game, now is your best bet

[eager hamlet]

It's 50% off on PS store

[analog star]

Yeah so if you really want to try it out, you might have fun with it

But you know, you get to decide

But it's definitely worth getting for cheaper than the base price

[eager hamlet]

It's on sale till like January so I'll review the game a bit, watch some gameplays, read some reviews and I'll go from there

[sand moon]

Also I'm not trying to get in hot water. As long as people leave me alone and don't try to start stuff I'm good. But that doesn't mean I'm going to take their nonsense either. Because I wouldn't take it in the real world. And mods aren't always around unfortunately. But anyways.

[analog star]

Best way of going about it

[sand moon]

Personally I'd just watch some gameplay. Reviews imo are pointless. Someone may not enjoy it but you may like it. But if you listen to the individual who doesn't like it you may miss out. In the end the only opinion that should matter is your own.

[empty light]

Yeah, I noticed that as well while deciding between buying some games that were on sale

[sand moon]

I wasn't going to buy it at first as the PS5 exclusive stuff put me off. But then I thought it looked fun so I was just like oh well I'll get it.

[empty light]

There’s ps5 exclusive stuff? I didn’t even know. Wouldn’t make much sense to make stuff exclusive for ps unless they paid the developers

[sand moon]

Well technically timed exclusive till February 10th. But yeah they probably paid. Still doesn't make sense to me on a multiplat. But we'll get it in two months.

[empty light]

Oh nice

[heady ridge]

That's what you get for being intellectual about a subject .

[native root]

Would have been WBs call not Avalanches call.

PS also had the marketing rights which is why so much was shown on PS5 and the gameplay and launch trailer shown at a PlayStation showcase

The only true playstation exclusive is the Felix Felicis potion recipe

The quest was only a timed exclusive for a year

[sand moon]

Yeah I'm fully aware of all of this. I've been gaming since the early 90s. I know how most of this works. I keep up with the industry and what goes on. I even mentioned some of this in my comments. Such as it being timed. That still isn't an excuse no matter whose decision it was. Third party exclusive content in multiplats shouldn't exist. Cease with the thinking you're smarter than me and acting like your opinion is superior to mine. It's starting to irk me. And it isn't just you it's the others from that other conversation as well. Matter of fact if that's how ya'll want to act stop speaking to me at all. Because all you're going to do is set me off because I have very little patience for people who seem to have such big egos that they feel the need to be right all of the time.

[native root]

Literally zero need for the hostility, my dude lol

Was just adding to the conversation and you took it as an attack, calm down.

[sand moon]

Yeah because you weren't trying to act like my opinion in the previous conversation was irrelevant earlier by attacking it. Even though it was literally just my opinion. Don't add me to your conversation. Keep me out of it.

[native root]

You can always block me, bud. No need to get so heated over a conversation that’s long over lol

It’s not that serious. Opinions differ and people expressing theirs in contradiction to yours isn’t an attack, it’s a conversation.

Don’t take everything so personally. I’ll talk where I like if I feel it’s a conversation I want to join.

[sand moon]

I'm irked because.you keep acting like you know more and know better than me. That's the issue I have with you. It's not about contradictive opinions. It's also about acting like I should think like you. Like your opinion is an epitome. You're free to join in whatever conversations you like. But don't speak to me., don't tag me. You understand? We're done here.

[native root]

lol

Just block be and don’t be so dramatic

It’s not that serious, friend

[lethal silo]

Time to move on please guys and stop with arguing

[native root]

You got it Lilith! ❤️

Sometimes I just listen to Overture to the Unwritten because it still gives me the same feeling it did way back when we first got it in the lead up to launch.

question i have beat the monster and i need to level up my character to level 34 to take the cermony but idk how to level up fast

[quasi breach]

You need to be Level 34, not 40. :)

[fickle grotto]

im level 30

yeah i forgot ops

what to level up?

[quasi breach]

Any side quests left on your queue?

Any collections to complete? Dueling feats to accomplish?

[fickle grotto]

oh ok

i try to take the cermony around christmas bc the first movie its christmas on the movie and i think harry potter movies release on dvd around christmas

how about chests?

[quasi breach]

I don't think chests give you XP.

[fickle grotto]

ok

[native root]

You need to do all the challenges in the challenge tab of your field guide, progressing and completing all the challenges is the only way you get xp

You jest.. but you have no idea how accurate that statement is, lol

Though tomorrow I am going to be under scrutiny, but I volunteered that, really cannot afford to lose my job, and if there is a way to improve my performance, I will take it

Anyway

I wonder if one can combine the effects of two different spells

[quasi breach]

Like how?

[heady ridge]

I was thinking, the torturous pain of Cruciotus

Combined with the non stop tickling of Rictusempra

[quasi breach]

[marsh knoll]

They haven’t added anything new to legacy?

[gentle cedar]

no.

[sand moon]

No. They probably won't either. But stranger things have happened.

[balmy laurel]

Good morning sunshine 🌞

[signal quartz]

still no VC ??

[serene sail]

VCs would be way too chaotic to try and moderate

[signal quartz]

AHHH

[hazy quiver]

🥱

[wise dawn]

almost 40 hours in - only two curses left

cant wait to learn avada kedavra

[flint imp]

Does anyone know where some eye chests are located?

[humble sequoia]

IDK but use the revealing charm commonly

[flint imp]

Yeahh dw that’s how am usually doing it

[humble sequoia]

Oh ok :/

[wise dawn]

where are them bones??? 😄

been running around looking for bones

nevermind had to reload the game

[shrewd gorge]

I finished the main story - pretty under leveled and under prepared. Feel like I rushed to it. There is so much more to do now. But I wonder if I should run the game again and explore more than I play missions that way I beat the boss with all the bells and whistles or should I just 100% the story I am on now?

[quasi breach]

Which do you want to do more?

[shrewd gorge]

I dont really want to play the story all over again honestly LMAO

[quasi breach]

XD Then 100%.

[shrewd gorge]

But I also know that each house has something to offer

so I want to experience the whole game but not play it 3 more times

UGH

[quasi breach]

Well, if you want to experience all the houses, you have to play it 3 more times.

[shrewd gorge]

Which was the best house experience in your opinion?

[quasi breach]

Hufflepuff. But I'm biased as hell.

[shrewd gorge]

See, I want to do a slytherin run

[quasi breach]

Also, I haven't completed a run as another house. I've tried playing Slytherin a few times, but I don't know how to get into the mindset of a non-evil Slytherin.

[shrewd gorge]

Yeah....I just played the game with a lot of empathy. I unlocked the curses for the sake of unlocking them. But I want to do a zero empath run

[odd solstice]

If I knew abt the Azkaban thing before hand I probably wouldn’t have gone gryffindor

[quasi breach]

It's only, like, a three-minute scene, tbh.

[odd solstice]

Every bit counts tbh

I’ll probably watch a video of some1 else doing it after I finish the game

[wise dawn]

there's lots more fun when not rushing this game tbh

I skip Fast Travel a lot and does travel by broom mostly - also it's fun running into poachers and loyalists that way

[odd solstice]

Their death is on ranroks hands

im still kind of new to the game

not too much under tho

oh wait i hit 5 hours

take your time

Game's not going anywhere. :)

[wise dawn]

okay fellas, one more unforgivable curse left

damn, it's Christmas around here in Hogwarts

gives you Avada Kedavra in a bright green package Merry Christmas!

[wise dawn]

nothing beats the holidays with an unforgivable curse wrapped in a green box with a red ribbon on it

[humble sequoia]

Hello is hogwarts legacy worth buying on switch? And what's the best house

[queen canyon]

Slytherin most used

And idk i dont have a switch but i am currenty gonna get it on pc because it has big discount on epic games

[quasi breach]

Hufflepuff is best house. And I'd say it's worth it on Switch, if you can't get it for the other platforms.

Apparently the PC port is really buggy.

[heady ridge]

Switch is worth it, I have it on Switch and so far I had little to no problems with it, as for best house, well I say Slytherin, but you really should give all of them a try

[odd solstice]

does the great hall change during winter or when it gets to christmas

[pure pewter]

Hey

[quasi breach]

Yes.

[quasi breach]

Hello!

[odd solstice]

yes to which one 😭

[quasi breach]

Uh...I guess before Christmas? Not really sure what point in winter the time skip...skips to.

[ashen aspen]

im concerned why there are only 26 huffle puffs

[quasi breach]

It's a glitch.

[ashen aspen]

ohh

good, haha

It'll show basically who's in the server & online & who isn't.

How're u?

[slender pecan]

just got home from my delayed plane flight and now i door dashed chinese

so i kept taking the sorting hat quiz it seems im in a stalemate between ravenclaw and slythern

[quasi breach]

Better be...SLYTHERCLAW!

[slender pecan]

i got ravenclaw twice then slyhtern then slythern again should i take it one more to decide

[ashen aspen]

man ur discord username is ravenclaw

just go with it

[slender pecan]

lol fair enough i just got slythern again lol

[quasi breach]

Clearly the test hasn't seen your username.

[slender pecan]

lol i found a soulution

im doing a quiz that has every single answer to see what percentage i get

83% ravenclaw guess im right in my choice

[dense gulch]

I've taken that test as well and it is very cool to see all the percentages like that.

[red lotus]

Hello

[balmy laurel]

Good morning sunshine 🌞

[vapid gull]

good morning yall

[sand moon]

Morning.

[blissful isle]

Morning

[wise dawn]

YES. It's pretty decent on Switch. As for the best house, I don't know the answer to that one - it's pretty subjective.

[stuck sand]

I played on PS5 and I saw my friend’s game on switch and there is a BIG difference in graphics. Switch is not for me. I wouldn’t get it if I had a different console. If you don’t then of course get it! You’ll still enjoy it.
As for the house, well you will have different side quests. Imo, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff have the best ones tbh. Ravenclaw has the prettiest common room. Purely based on the game. Not outside of it. If you want to collect ALL the trophies, you’re gonna experience each house to an extent anyway 🙂

[native root]

To add to this, there’s only one quest that’s different for each house but it all leads to the same thing.

[lament python]

Hi all! New here!

Got the game on switch since 2 weeks even though I didn't want it on switch for obvious reasons. But saving money for a ps5 is gonna take a half year so I gave it a try on switch and to be honest..... Way better than expected! I have seen so much worse on switch! The loading part is the worst but when it comes to graphics... not bad at all! I was the type of person almost screaming from day one that this game should never come to switch... I was wrong!!! 😂 It's actually very playable on switch!!

But still I want a ps5 and the ps5 version of this game. But until I have the money... the switch version will keep me busy!

[hollow dagger]

could always play on pc 😄

I heard the switch version had some loading screens in between map areas?

[quasi breach]

Yep. Every time you went into a building, or through certain sections of Hogwarts.

And every time you went in or out of Hogsmeade.

[hollow dagger]

is it immersion breaking? or pretty decent loading time?

[quasi breach]

It's not too bad. A little annoying, but I liked the game enough to tolerate it.

[hollow dagger]

I think I'd like to pick it up as a backup/portable copy. beat it on ps5 and loved it. doing a playthrough on PC now, because I like to play with mods. but something about handheld games on lazy, cozy days.

[lament python]

I can't unless it's on Geforce now. And the pc version is the worst version. From what I have read it's missing stuff like a full mission.

[hollow dagger]

to my knowledge, the only thing i've noticed it missing is the haunted hogsmead quest, which all versions will be missing until feb 2024.

though honestly, if i play that mission again, i would save it for spooky month anyways.

[quasi breach]

So, tax season?

[hollow dagger]

the only thing spooky about tax season, is how late will the w4s be 😂

[lament python]

And because of it I call the pc version incomplete.
So I'm gonna go for a ps5 and the ps5 version of the game.
Also... pc gaming is too expensive for me.

[wise dawn]

sebastian becoming very sus

one thing annoying in the switch version it is not completely an open world, like when you need to go to hogsmeade you couldn't enter the place without waiting for like 10-15 seconds

but hats off to the devs for making it work on switch

[lament python]

Sebastian.. the only real wizard imo!!! Why? Because he doesn't shy away from using dark magic... and if you want to have a full understanding of magic you should also learn to use dark magic.

[wise dawn]

sebby my bestie

60 hours in OMG 😱

[lament python]

Well... it is still open world... the oldschool way😂

[lament python]

100+ hours in just 2 weeks😅

[wise dawn]

my favorite potion of all time - thunderbrew!

[wise dawn]

including the side quests?

[humble sequoia]

U good?

[wise dawn]

the death eaters trial was so cool omg survived with just two wiggenweld potion

[lament python]

Still doing side quests. Only completed the main story and sebastian quests. And a lot of exploring.

[lament python]

Sort of.... Unfit for work so I have too much time... and this game shows it😅

[wise dawn]

I haven't even done half of the merlin trials yet. I think I've done two so far lol

[lament python]

I only need a few more merlin trials.

[wise dawn]

r u done looking for the demiguises?

[lament python]

But my play style with this game is well.... slow!!😅 Well... I was a fast player until I got crucio and Avada Kedavra.... after that I changed my playstyle. Instead of killing enemies as fast as possible I use crucio as long as possible and even cast it multiple times at the same enemy and just watch them suffer and when they have no more health I lift them into the air and finish them off with Avada Kedavra!😅

[lament python]

Nope.. need 2 more for level 3 locks to unlock. But I use a guide for those to keep track of them.

[quasi breach]

I need 2 more also.

[fringe spindle]

J.K. Rowling is based

[lament python]

But I'm not even gonna 100% the game on switch anyway. the switch version is just to keep me busy until I can buy a ps5 and the game, end of May 2024.

[wise dawn]

my fave combo is glacius and diffindo 😄

[lament python]

But on ps5 I'm gonna 100% the game.

[wise dawn]

freeze and slice them up

[wise dawn]

Well Im totally enjoying the switch version. I could buy it for pc for a better graphics but Im loving the switch so far.

[lament python]

My style... Crucio... wait till the effect wears off... cast crucio again and wait again until it wears off.. and if the enemy has enough health left I cast it again.... and then use levioso and evada kedavra to finish it. Slow but painful!!!!😂

[violet yew]

sounds like style of Lestranges

[lament python]

I want the better graphics and the no loading screen thing but until I have the money for the ps5 the switch version is gonna keep me busy for sure. I was almost screaming into this world that "This game should never come to switch!! It would be worse than N64!!! Hell no!! Just don't do it!!! Some games shouldn't be ported to switch!! It will ruin the whole game!!! It will be the worst game on switch!!"
Well... I have never been so wrong in my life!!! It runs and looks better than a lot of first party nintendo games!!😯 Sure.. the game is less pretty and does have a few problems on switch but I have seen waaaaaaay worse on switch.🤷 I never thought I would say this... If you don't have the money for xbox or ps5 or pc... I actually recommend the switch version of this game to people!

[lament python]

I just wish you could be more evil. Those 3 unforgivable curses are just normal spells in this game... nothing unforgivable about them.
It would be cool if there was a bounty system in place.
So when an NPC sees you using an unforgivable curse they want to report it to the ministry and you have to go after them to silence them so they can't snitch on you.
And if you fail to silence the witness the ministry sending wizards and witches after you to collect the bounty or send you to azkaban where you have to pay off your bounty before you are free to go again.

[violet yew]

hmm. would need to generate wandering npc's for that what aren't aligned as opponents from start to make that work,if system like that would appear unless later parts of the game fights are nearer populated areas.

[lament python]

From what I read it was already in the code... people checked the code and found stuff that was meant to be in the game but never completed.

[violet yew]

did they answer why it was dropped? i forgot was it somewhere or not 🤔

[lament python]

I don't know why they left so much out. Maybe they were thinking people wouldn't like stuff like that? But to me it makes sense if it was indeed in the game. Those curses are unforgivable so actions should be taken against those who use them. That would make it even feel more good to use them because you would have to look around if no one else is watching while you enjoy watching bandits suffer with crucio!😅

Chase down witnesses to the other side of the map to stop them from snitching on you? I vote YES!!!! 😂

I understand more and more why every Hogwarts test in games and apps put me in Slytherin😅

[violet yew]

ah. found it .
"And as we would have it, the enticing Hogwarts Legacy morality and reputation system was ultimately scrapped by the developers. In an interview, lead game designer Troy Leavitt explained that the system was removed in order to give players more freedom in how they want to approach the game."

this could be basically expansion material and more freedom, if allowing to be turned on and off from settings.

[lament python]

Very stupid because imo you are still as free to approach the game as you like even with a morality and reputation system in place.
They should make this a free DLC imo.
Because I do want to go to Azkaban once every few days in game.

I mean... you don't have to use those curses... nobody is forcing you to use them. If you use them it's still your own choice...

And if there was a reputation system in place it would make you feel even more dark if you do use the unforgivable curses.

[violet yew]

pretty much freedom to use those would unlock and lock some stuff most likely. atm you can pass game completely by playing it once,but that system would force multiple beatings for it due to choices or something like that 🤔

[quasi breach]

Wouldn't be once every few days. It'd be, you use an Unforgivable Curse once, in front of a non-goblin or dark witch/wizard, and then it's Game Over, 'cause you're spending the rest of your life in Azkaban. 😂

[violet yew]

or extra mission break out Azkaban during attack ?

[raven echo]

Quote of the day: “A man’s heart is like obsidian it’s tough and strong but sometimes it can cry”

[violet yew]

let's add other one; fruit in the day, keeps doctor away(at least when throwing hard enough)

[lament python]

There is only one thing in the switch version that is annoying AF.... Mounts!! Specifically loading them! It's ridiculous! When I leave Hogwarts or some other place and want to use mounts they have to load first.... that walking and flying mount take a few seconds to load the actual textures so for a few seconds they look very bad but loading a broom is way worse! 90% of the broom is completely MISSING for a few seconds!! So for a few seconds you sit on an invisible broom! That is the only real problem I have with the switch version. Ow.. and those suits of armor where one beats up the other is bugged.. half the time you don't hear the metal sound when he kicks the other piece of armor to pieces.😅

[quasi breach]

I never had that problem. 😂

[lament python]

Also... I think the person who came up with the idea of the annoyed suit of armor beating the crap out of the one next to it should get a raise imo!!!😂 It was a huge WTF moment and so funny! The last kick broke me!!!😂😂😂

[lament python]

If you have the game on switch you should have that problem.

[quasi breach]

I do have it on Switch, and I didn't have that problem.

[lament python]

Very weird....

Are you sure?

I guess you didn't notice it.. but it is there on switch.

Maybe it depends on what broom you have.

[quasi breach]

I'm pretty sure I would've noticed something like that.

[lament python]

I'm almost sure it's universal on all switch consoles.

And the thing is... it's only after something loaded before you use the broom.... So the broom is not loaded into the switch memory because the switch barely has any memory. But once It is loaded and I jump off and on again it loaded instantly.. but when I have a fight and want to get back on my broom it's again not loaded into the switch memory and it has to load for 2 or 3 seconds again.
So I highly doubt that you don't have this problem because it is memory related.

And if you indeed don't have this problem it's a version thing... again.... because I had this with a few games that launch versions act different from later versions.

You would expect later versions to be better than launch versions.... but I have a few games on switch that did the opposite.

But for me it breaks the immersion with those brooms.

[cloud cipher]

Damn this is probably the most raided server I’ve ever been in…aren’t there any spam filters?

[quasi breach]

If there are, they're the kind that let spam in if it wears a fake mustache and glasses.

[cloud cipher]

lol

[flint imp]

Wait the server got raided?

[cloud cipher]

It’s getting hella spam

Leave for 5 mins, comes back all channels have been spammed with some deleted message

[glacial orbit]

Hey, are there really no options to build a proper relationship/friendship in game?

[quasi breach]

Yeah, not really. :( hug

[glacial orbit]

Will any come out? (I need to date simon asap)

[quasi breach]

Who is Simon....?

[glacial orbit]

The pretty guy

Slytherin

[quasi breach]

.....?

Sebastian?

lol

[glacial orbit]

Oop

[quasi breach]

😂

You'll have to get in line.

[glacial orbit]

He alreasy chose me so no need

Also why are there only few people in hufflepuff

[quasi breach]

It's a glitch. There are plenty of Hufflepuffs on this server, dw.

[glacial orbit]

Thanks god haha

[tropic phoenix]

hello!

[patent oracle]

can those mirror butterflies disappear?

[quasi breach]

Under what circumstances? They disappear once you put them in a mirror.

[patent oracle]

The butterfly in the library is gone even though the mirror is empty

[serene sail]

Are you sure??

It only appears after you cast Lumos to reveal the picture

[patent oracle]

I am 100% sure.

I have revealed the picture using lumos, went to the podium where the butterfly is supposed to be at, its empty. I've reloaded the save, still no butterfly. Ive walked away for a while, still no butterfly

Ive also been using lumos throughout the library incase it was stuck somewhere

[serene sail]

Very strange

[patent oracle]

Yeah, ive looked possible solutions up on reddit and whatnot, but nothing is working for me :/ gonna be a pain bc im trying to 100% the game

[silent delta]

Does anyone recommend an online vendor for a Hufflepuff or Slytherin house scarf?

I see some look very low quality

[sand moon]

Sounds like an unfortunate bug.

[sand moon]

Not sure. I think Wizarding World has a store. But as usual with merch of that kind it's a bit expensive.

[silent delta]

I’ll take a look! Willing to pay a bit more for a quality product. I wish they made the ones on HL as they are sick!

I’m gonna go see Chamber of Secrets live in concert and want to wear a scarf at least. Heard some people go all out

[brisk blaze]

I’m watching the Naughty Nine it’s a movie about these kids who go to the Northpole to rob Santa because they were put in the Naught List

[wraith badger]

Etsy's probably best option for something more quality

[gentle cedar]

yes i agree. etsy is a good place. but then again, the official harry potter shop has quality and official stuff.

[sand moon]

Yeah forgot about Etsy. Got some great quality Viking stuff like an axe and a few 12 inch bowie knives.

[silent delta]

Ah I’ll take a look there too, I did find a Boxlunch one as well. https://www.boxlunch.com/product/harry-potter-hufflepuff-crest-scarf-set/19413254.html

[gentle cedar]

i love box lunch.

[lethal monolith]

I need help

[serene sail]

With?

[lethal monolith]

How do I fix the floo flame bug

[serene sail]

Gonna need to be more specific pal

[lethal monolith]

Just got done at three broom sticks, and when I went to go to my common room it said unavailable

[serene sail]

Like, when it specifically told you to???

[lethal monolith]

Floo powder unavailable

[serene sail]

Can you post a thread in #1063582649647628409 with a picture?

[lethal monolith]

Just poseted

[wise dawn]

how do you freaking flip a troll?

Flipendo doesn't do much for a 1000 lbs walking troll

[serene sail]

,,,The challenge is to flip its CLUB, not the whole ass TROLL lmfao

[tender current]

Beat me to it.
You cast flipendo when it hits the ground

[wise dawn]

LMAO yeah the club

damn I kept missing as it hits the ground

also sometimes my stupify doesn't work even when timed right

[humble sequoia]

Is Playstations exclusive quest going to come to switch? Opening your own shop seems pretty legit

[analog star]

10th February 2024

[humble sequoia]

Omg a whole month away still

Sony lame for making the best quest PlayStation exclusive

[quasi breach]

A month and 20 days.

[humble sequoia]

Are you sure your not ravenclaw

[quasi breach]

Positive.

[humble sequoia]

That was pretty ravenclaw of a message

[quasi breach]

Because I counted? 🤨

[humble sequoia]

Yeah, it's a who cares innit moment
It's the end of December next month would be the end of January with the dlc release around the corner lol

[quasi breach]

It’s not a who-cares; one month and 20 days is almost 2 months.

[humble sequoia]

Ravenclaw vibes over the need to correct and now argue about it for sure bro 😅

[violet yew]

would say rather person expecting stuff they really want rather than raven trait. also most streotypes about houses are vague. there are even opposite types of those stereotypes in houses due to partly their some traits you might not notice.

[analog star]

You get used to it considering the fandom loves boxing people based on their houses ngl

I'm accustomed to being viewed as stupid for being red

[quasi breach]

At least you’re not viewed as stupid for being yellow.

[humble sequoia]

We are not tho...

I code

Video games

[analog star]

Imho Hogwarts Houses are purely fictional and doesn't really determine anything. I'm not a jock and you're not a side character

The fandom ought to touch grass ngl

[quasi breach]

At least in Canon we are.

[humble sequoia]

Wait wut!?

[quasi breach]

duf·fer
noun
an incompetent or stupid person, especially an elderly one.

[buoyant prawn]

The difference of how many gryffindors and ravenclaws there are compared to slytherins and hufflepuffs

[analog star]

API bug

Not an accurate reflection of the statistics

[buoyant prawn]

Ah so its not really like that

[analog star]

Yeah the bot's API counter is likely overloaded

[buoyant prawn]

Ok it did make me laugh tho

[analog star]

So it bugs out

[buoyant prawn]

Yeah there are quite a lot of people here

[analog star]

Think of it like Y2K when people forgot to program in additional years past 1999, the computers at the time all glitched out and displayed an incorrect date.

Same rule probably applies here where the bot has a hard limit on how many numbers it can actually display

[buoyant prawn]

I actually didn't know that but that's really funny

[lament python]

THis server sucks with the stupid rate limit!! I needed help... Posted in game help. It had mistakes.. couldn't correct.. didn't work.. so I deleted the post.. and now I can't post again because of stupid rate limit! Bullshit!!!

[buoyant prawn]

Well maybe they'll fix that in the future

[lament python]

Well that's no use to me. Stupid server. Bye!

[buoyant prawn]

Oh- bye bye then

[sand moon]

Rate limit? You mean timer? Could've just copied, corrected any mistakes, and then pasted. Would've been as simple as that.

[glacial orbit]

Alr can anyone tell me if there are really only 8 main quests or are there going to br more once i finish them bc im at the fifth

[glass eagle]

On the game the gyrffindor and Slytherin house trophies are the biggest by a decent way

Last time I checked, gyrffindor and Slytherin had the exact same % achieving the trophy

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

Ah gifs aren't allowed

[obsidian cedar]

Does Hogwards Legacy have pvp between other players?

[glass eagle]

No

[quasi breach]

It does not.

[obsidian cedar]

😦

[buoyant prawn]

Oh I meant the amount of members in this server

[dense gulch]

Only if you count player versus plant !

[glass eagle]

There's 43 main quests

[glass eagle]

Yeah ik I was just commenting in general

It's interesting

[buoyant prawn]

Ah

[glass eagle]

Hufflepuff was the lowest by far

But it makes sense though

[buoyant prawn]

I only got hogwarts legacy a few days ago so I haven’t noticed that yet 😅

[glass eagle]

Since Hufflepuff and ravenclaw are essentially filler houses in the books

[buoyant prawn]

I love the game though it’s fantastic

[obsidian cedar]

And what can you do after passing?

[glass eagle]

Passing what?

[obsidian cedar]

Passing the game

[quasi breach]

😡 The books are so mean.

[glass eagle]

There's a few story missions after the game where you take OWLS and try to win the house cup

There's lots sidequests and open world stuff

[obsidian cedar]

Understand

[modest glade]

man i cant be bothered making 3 more characters and getting them all to the map chamber 😭

[fathom verge]

Where can i go if i want help on the game

[quasi breach]

Right here. owo

[fathom verge]

Tryna complete professor gralicks 2nd assignment

[quasi breach]

What was the assignment, again?

[fathom verge]

I forget where to grow my seeds. I have my materials

[quasi breach]

You go to the Room of Requirement. ❤️

[fathom verge]

Grow and harvest fluxweed.
Aquire all 3 combat plants and use them simuktaneously

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I kept going to the greenhouses

Tysm

[quasi breach]

Silly you, thinking you could grow plants in a greenhouse.

[fathom verge]

Lmao right

[fathom verge]

And then the combat ones how do i ise them all at once?

[quasi breach]

You throw one out right after the other.

[fathom verge]

Thats not simultaneously but ok

[quasi breach]

I'd recommend that you be fighting a group of at least 3 enemies when you do this.

lol, they're all simultaneously active.

[fathom verge]

Ok

Ohhhhhhh

Hey i went and bought them theyre expensive

I bought them for the assigbment i had to make sure 😂😂

[quasi breach]

Better than putting in the work to grow them. 😌 Laziness ftw.

[fathom verge]

Where can i get a big enough pot to plant fluxweed

[quasi breach]

You need to buy the spellcraft from Tomes & Scrolls in Hogsmeade.

[fathom verge]

Facepalm

It says the lot isnt big enoigh

Pot

[quasi breach]

What size pot are you using...?

[fathom verge]

Small

[quasi breach]

Ah. Yeah. You need a large.

[fathom verge]

Yeah where

How do i get

[quasi breach]

Tomes & Scrolls. :3

[fathom verge]

Oki

Tyty

[quasi breach]

ywyw

[fathom verge]

Im playing on switch btw

Im lvl 20

[quasi breach]

Very cool. ^-^

[fathom verge]

Yeah what level r u?

[quasi breach]

Well, I believe I'm at Level 36 or 37 on Switch. And on PS4, Level 29 with my Hufflepuff character, and Level...8-ish with my Gryffindor.

[fathom verge]

Omg the large pot is $1000 i have 141

Tomes you expensiveee

[quasi breach]

🥺 Try finding and selling gear, and finding treasure chests/bags of money. My Hufflepuff has about 24,000 in gold saved up now.

[fathom verge]

Oh wow yeah im goinf to learn alomahora 2 so i can unlock more doors for more mo eysss and gear to sell hahahah

[quasi breach]

^-^

I did the ||Hogsmeade|| ||venomous tentacula quest||, and asked for payment ||after having to fight a bunch of spiders. I got 500. :)||

Also, @fathom verge, the eyeball chests are goldmines.

[fathom verge]

How do i open them

[quasi breach]

Get out of their line of sight, use the Disillusionment Charm, and open them while invisible.

[fathom verge]

Word

[sand moon]

Wish I was rich. Sadly I'm poor and been living on the outskirts of Hogwarts castle, surviving on mushrooms, and for some strange reason every time I do I hallucinate.

[quasi breach]

Must be all the magic in the air.

[fathom verge]

Wow it had 500!! Thanks!

[quasi breach]

Told you.

[sand moon]

That's what they said about Disneyland too. Unfortunately my expectations were too high because everyone was dressed in costume. Imagine my grief when realizing Mickey Mouse was a fraud.

[odd solstice]

First time I’ve had no missions available

And now I have to meet seb

[quasi breach]

You say that like it's an imposition. 😤

[odd solstice]

I think seb has the best storyline of all the characters I met

[quasi breach]

Agreed. 🙂

[glacial orbit]

Will there be more quests of him? Rn i just fifished some kind first trial in a tower

[quasi breach]

Oh yes, quite a few more.

[glacial orbit]

Just a few? 😭

[quasi breach]

Oh, are you not from the U.S.?

[glacial orbit]

Europe

[quasi breach]

Here, 'quite' means 'rather a lot.'

[glacial orbit]

We learn british english

[glacial orbit]

Ah okay

Its weird to see quite and a few in one sentence lol

[reef glacier]

Its the same in UK english

[quasi breach]

Oh. I heard that in the U.K., 'quite' means 'a little bit.'

[reef glacier]

"Id rather not do it. Its quite the hassle!"

[quasi breach]

Huh.

[reef glacier]

Never heard of that tbf

[reef glacier]

This is an example of how to use quite in the english I speak, which is UK english
