...if you can. Keep in mind, you can always open a Runestone gift, you can't be gated as you might be by full energy or ingredient vaults, so please, PLEASE do so. DO NOT worry about reciprocating.

1) Firstly, I don't want people engaging in risky behaviour just to collect gifts. That's bonkers. Give when you have them, and let people decide for themselves if they feel like sending if you can't reciprocate; don't try to make that decision for them. And please don't worry that they may have taken it poorly if no more show up; they simply may not have any to send. (The flip side of that is: try not to get bent out of shape if someone doesn't play as much as you do, or lives less opportunely and can't reciprocate. There shouldn't be any pressure here. This is a game mechanic designed to keep people feeling *obliged* to play, which is just rubbish. Don't feed into that. Let's try to take the positives without the negatives here.)

2) Especially with conditions as they are now and everyone's mobility impeded, when people are able to get gifts to send, it's a shame if they aren't able to. We can only stockpile 30 gifts. Your not opening gifts means they may have to throw gifts away. (I was able to get out both yesterday and the day before, I ended up having to throw out energy gifts because my vault was full and there was no one left to send them to. When I used the Fortress both evenings, I had to throw out still more, because I didn't want to waste potential Runestone gifts. That's a shame.)

Beauty*, Handsome*, Lumi*, and Spf* please either PM me your friend codes or post them here so I can add you. (gingerbredshaus is currently locked out of the game again for technical reasons...) Just add the rest of your nick so I know it's you. 😉


ETA: there have been some people complaining on boards about the Runestone gifts. (I think they're bonkers, but that's just me.) If for any reason you prefer the little Energy gift (or the Ingredient gift, for that matter) to the Runestone (keep in mind we're talking maybe three energy here), speak up now and here so people know what to prioritise for you. Cheers! 😊

You'll have probably seen the in game announcement, but as of now, they're making some changes to the game to make game play possible despite a fair few stuck in quarantine.

The following updates are now live in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, until further notice:

* Tonic for Trace Detection will reveal Traces more frequently; 30 Traces per Tonic
* Tonic for Trace Detection will have Master Notes effectiveness increased from 15% to 50% CORRECTION: The TFTD brewing time is reduced to half (without quaffing anything) whenever you apply Master Notes. So try not to queue them for the dead of night. 😉
* Ingredients will appear on the Map more frequently, especially those needed for Tonic for Trace Detection
* Traces will appear on the Map more frequently
* Spell Energy will appear on the Map
* A free store bundle will be available in the Diagon Alley shop featuring 4 Tonics for Trace Detection
* The amount of Gifts that can be opened each day will be increased from 10 to 20. This means those who are still mobile will be better able to help out those who aren't, but I'm assuming we can still only send one gift per person, so there are obvious limits there.

I'll keep you posted when they announce more. Stay well. Stay safe. ❤️

ETA: Oooo! They have also halved the distances on the Portkeys! Check your queue. They show up with have the kilometres now. 😃 (That Bonus assignment just got a lot more doable.)

ETA2: Or not. Meh. Lol. They seem to be having issues with that. I was seeing that lovely reduction in distance, and they just turned it off again. 😢 Word is they hope to have it up as of next week, so sadly after the Bonus. (I assume too many people were complaining about wasted silver keys for trying to complete the bonus...)

Reports are trickling in about some changes to the game that weren't announced.

Several people have opened their Brilliant Portkeys since the end of the event and discovered they now have different (and more appealing) contents. If you have any, it might be worth opening one to see if that is still the case before they nerf that, too.

Fazes has suggested hanging on to other Portkeys and not using them yet while they look into the rewards and try to decide if they should un-nerf them, so if you have the space, give it a thought. (It's okay to unlock them, just not open / use them.)

Gifts and meals / energy from inns are now random every time you visit them. They no longer remain static for the full hour like they used to. Upside, that's more cause to keep moving / no disadvantage to keeping moving. Downside, you can't find and stay somewhere lucky and stockpile anymore.

New Features/Updates:

Adventure Sync:
* Coming soon, Adventure Sync in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite! When you choose to enable this feature, your distance walked will now be recorded for Portkey Portmanteaus, even if the app is not open. (My interpretation is it's in the code but hasn't been turned on yet. Given their track record (that start button for fortresses? *cough cough*) it's probably just as well that they wait until the event is over.)

Read more... )

There were issues for some Android devices, trying to start again seems to solve it. (Sometimes repeated starts were necessary.) There are presently no other reports of massive fubar. This solves the issues with the disappearing Portkeys in our queues, so you can now pick things up on the map again. Yay! And Adventure Sync still isn't live.

ETA: DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD YOUR ASSETS.
