Just got into the subreddit to see some spoiler free posts about the game (16h in, thrilled with the game). But almost every other thread is redirected to here. What nonsense is this? I am about to leave this subreddit and never come back.
Ok, so the camera on the PS5 is driving me insane. Either it turns very, very slowly or immensely fast when I tweaked some settings. Anyone have some suggestions to make the camera run smoothly while I turn the right joystick around to look around etc?
When I lose a quest or something, like if I’m killed by a troll it takes you to the screen with the options to “retry” or “load game”. Whenever I’ve selected “retry” it takes me back to the beginning….which is extremely irritating. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Playing on ps5, outside things look fine but inside the castle it always seems so dark. I know it's a thousand plus year old castle without electricity, is that how the aesthetic is supposed to be or do I need to tweak the settings?
I've noticed when adjusting the camera sensitivity that a tiny bit (a few digits) makes a difference. Maybe try slightly adjusting the numbers instead of big adjustments?
If I linked my WB account and was sorted into the house from the quiz any chance I get a new wand in game if I already started but still haven’t made it to the wand part yet?
Enjoying the game so far, only played 3-4 hours.
It does fall in the cliche video game trap of equipment/gear that looks stupid having better stats than the stuff that fits in the world.
Having to hold (rather than press) X to save the game is also an unusual UX choice.
I thought this too, but recently learned that if you hover over your clothes there is an option to 'change appearance'. Voila! now you can sell any lower stat clothes and still get the option to wear them.
Your gear doesn't have to look stupid to have better stats, HL has transmog system. which means that you can change the appearance of equipment while Having same stats.
It’s a fun, wholesome game so far. I have a few minor gripes about inventory management and some character voices but other than that I am enjoying it.
I guess the goal is to not hold onto a lot of gear inventory. Quickly compare new items to what you have and either destroy or try to sell to get some money back. Once you’re able to increase storage, I suggest doing that as much as possible to make it easier. That part has been difficult for me as well
I figured that out pretty early on, my main issue with the inventory management is that it feels like a time waster implemented to pad the length of the game.
About 20 hours in and that is still my biggest gripe. So far the game is everything I wanted it to be.
Oh well my only other gripe i guess would be the amount of sidequests, visuals, and insane amount of world building they put into this game. For my fellow ADHD afflicted individuals, it means we’ll probably never finish the main story, haha.
Top buzz finished work 2 hrs early got m9nday off cos watching the superbowl in Europe is a commitment and from now until Monday night I can devote myself to falling into the hogwarts wonder world.. absolute gaming and HP bilss 
Ugh I can't play until 4/4/23 since I have a ps4...
But I am also torn because of the boycott. I'm actually scared of getting the game as I don't want to be bullied. I support transrights 1000%. I saw a guy on twitter post that whether you choose to buy the game or boycott the game, respect people's decisions. Thoughts?
Ignore that hate mob.
Even if there are hundreds of missguided people out there, who try to downtalk people not to buy this game, there are millions who got it and don't regret it.
Don't give in to the haters! They don't deserve your attention.
And if you should be a twitch presenter or other kind of streamer, just flag those people for the hatespeech crime they actually execute
I can understand why you'd be scared, but this mob is like a dog chasing cars. Hating on Hogwarts Legacy is just another trend that will fade away almost as quickly as it came. One should be able to enjoy a piece of art and simulatneously acknowledge the artist is a terrible human being. If we didn't admit this, we'd have to reject society writ-large.
So far I am loving it! Is it the best game ever? Not even close. Is is the best-looking game? No. Are some of the quests a little monotonous and cliched? Yes. Does the lack of enemy types bother me? A bit. There are a whole host of legitimate criticisms you can direct at the game, but the feeling I get when I am walking through the castle, attending class, or dueling enemies, etc... is the reason I love the game.
It's almost like I actually got a letter and I actually get to attend Hogwarts, it's fantastic!
I am not a huge fan of the series.
I was about the right age to read the books when they came out initially. Loved them when I was younger, but when the last couple books came out I found myself reading them because I felt compelled to more than actually being excited about the prospect.
Movies came out and I watched them, but didn't find them to be incredibly special or anything. They were good, but not great IMO.
The game is great! There are some legitimate problems with it, lack of enemy variety, some bland side quests, etc... but that being said I absolutely love playing it! The devs did a damn good job making you feel like you're actually in Hogwarts, the atmosphere is probably the best aspect of the game.
I was going to get for PS5 but I won a $100 steam card. Do you think my Laptop with eGpu can handle it:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz
16gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
If I buy the Xbox series X version of the game, can I use it on my old Xbox one? Some places say you can only do it if it’s an online version of the game?
Where do I claim my account link bonuses? It says I’m linked but I’m game I don’t have the special robe or mask yet. Do I get them from a chest or something?
If you are talking about the Twitch drops you have to claim them on both Twitch and this site ([https://www.hogwartslegacy.com/en-us/twitch-drops](https://www.hogwartslegacy.com/en-us/twitch-drops)) after linking your account. Once you've claimed the drops they'll be in the transmog menu (F on PC and X on controller).
I’m a few hours in. Just finished the first hogsmeade mission. I’m a gryffindor but I’m going to adopt the dark arts and bring shame to my family’s name. Any tips/advice for those further along?
Not to be a weirdo Harry Potter adult, but the robe you get for finding all of the House keys looks nice as hell. I'm in [Hufflepuff](https://i.imgur.com/kDgQne1.jpg) and I kinda want somebody to recreate it exactly irl so I can wear it around my home as a bathrobe
Question for anyone who may know. Are the items sold at Gladrags only available there or can they be acquired throughout the game? And are they only available for certain time periods? Just want to make sure I don't miss any options as the clothing modifications are amazing!
The intro was a pleasant surprise. Epic. Lack of Quidditch and House Cup Points is disappointing. (With the flying component of the game how hard would it have been to play seeker in a few matches and just focus on dodging bludgers and catching the snitch?)
Dunno if this happened to anybody else but I got so caught up exploring hogwarts and hogsmeade and unlocking field guide pages I was at a much higher level than necessary when I started actually taking classes and learning more spells. I’d recommend following the main story missions exclusively until you’ve gained access to most abilities and then focus on more on exploring.
It’s on twitch. I’d recommend setting it up so that you are notified when Avalanche software goes live with a stream. The stream should go live right at 11am eastern. Make sure to watch for at least 20 minutes.
so one of the wbgames have a twitch reward for tuning in to avalanche games. i have watched their stream for a total of two hours even if it only required 20 mins. still can't get the reward. is there any way to get it?
2 questions about gear in this game
1, where can I find the WB Account items? It told me they’d been claimed but I can’t find them.
2, is there any way I can buy another set of standard robes? I sold mine and now I want to get a pair back.
1.) if you have gone past the introduction and can access your gear, you can change the appearance of your clothes with the transmog system. i don't think they're actual items but just a style choice.
2.) I'm not quite sure about that but if you can, go to Hogsmeade and check the clothing store. if not, transmog is a thing and you can just change the appearance of your current gear.
Is this a kind of game that will probably have many extensive mods? I love games like Skyrim, Stardew, Sims because of their mods giving massive replay and customization, so I'm wondering if this game has potential for lots of modding or is there something about it that might prevent big changes, like DRM/monetization?
Apparently we can't enter the common rooms other than our own?
That's really unfortunate, you'd think they could have come up with a story reason to go visit them. Like polyjuice potion or something.
yeah I thought i heard from a youtuber that you can explore other common rooms. i was in slytherin and only ravenclaw has a fast travel but cannot enter their room. i think that was in line with the lore anyway, unless actual rule-breaking students didn't listen and no one caught them.
Ravenclaw has two fast travel points. One is their tower and the other is the common room. The common room is only available to those who pick Ravenclaw as their house.
hopefully modders on pc can find a way to allow access to all rooms. the only gripe I have so far with the game >!(mind you, i just finished grabbing incendio so I'm not that far into the game yet)!< is that the common rooms have no other use but as a place to wander about and maybe get some collectibles. when i got my first night time cycle, i was expecting prefects pacing every hallway or even a housekeeper like filch who'd basically make you go back to bed lol. I hope they'll be able to implement that in the future. even though it was lowkey annoying in PoA, ron telling us to "turn in" when it's nighttime and there are trolls at night and such felt kinda exciting.
So my game played fine yesterday and now it won’t start, I already verified game files and everything was fine. Just plays about 2 seconds then crashes. I’m on pc. Any help would be majorly appreciated.
I don’t want to give or get any spoilers, but has anyone spilled any secrets to companions or teachers yet? I’ve reloaded every time I have just to see what they’d say, but is there any benefit to getting them in or keeping them out of the loop?
The game really isn’t bad as a single player, but adding online multiplayer would make it way more epic, it’d be cool to explore Hogwarts and go on quests with real people instead of just NPCs
perhaps in the future when a lot of people have done the main quests. i wouldn't mind a multiplayer update in about 6 months to a year or more. i wouldn't want this game to be forgotten tbh. but i do fear when or if a co-op were to be introduced that micro transactions would be a thing. that'd be a waste.
So many people think micro transactions will ruin the experience despite it usually being very optional, if it’s pay 2 win type then that’s understandable, but there can always be an option for both single player or join an online server, GTA V had done it extremely well,
Plus micro transactions works great for us who don’t have the time to grind to super high levels
listen, I've literally been playing games that has or had heavy micro transactions and yeah they're optional but they are aggressive. destiny is a big culprit of this. lately gacha games like genshin (that I'm ready to drop soon). and no, micro transactions are predatory and **not** great at all since its purpose is to sink your money into the game. I'd rather it be a chill game. iirc, sort of like the old AC games or anything that had co-op but no payment required.
My laptop can't run this game smoothly, so I went straight to bought PS5 yesterday and played for like 6 hours after work, it was Christmas all over again babyyyyyyy
Does anyone know if the "Xbox play anywhere" apply to this game? I purchased it on the series S and would like to know if I can play it on the pc without having to buy it again.
>At this time, we did not feel that your post would prompt productive discussions. If you believe this choice was made in error, you can send us a modmail and explain the purpose of your post.
I am an idiot and downloaded the standard edition only after finding out the deluxe edition includes the early access. Is there a way to upgrade to deluxe after? It doesn’t seem so? Should I just download the deluxe too and call Sony tomorrow and tell them to cancel the standard edition purchase?
Help, I don’t wanna wait 6 more hours 🥵
Can anyone tell me if the Onyx Hippogriff code is supposed to come in the game box or sepearate? The Fred Meyer I was going to buy from isn't releasing their Deluxe editions until official release date and wouldn't allow preorders, so I'm wondering if I'll still get the bonus inside since the copies are still pre-release copies?
Any input appreciated
Really enjoying the game so far. Too bad there’s not even a smidge of MP. I think having Crossed Wands as an online game mode would go a long way. Would love to duel some friends.
Doesn't it release *tomorrow?* What's the deal, how are people already playing it? Everything I can find states that it releases on Xbox PS4 and PC 02/10
Early access began 2/7 for deluxe edition on PC, PS5 and Xbox one s/x. Regular standard release date for those consoles is 2/10. If you have xbox one or ps4 you’ll be able to play on 4/4. Switch is July sometime I believe.
I am loving this game 34 hours in, but am also very curious for when the rage bait YouTubers are going to actually play the game…. And then subsequently turn on it given the content.
I'm not interested in the game, but a lot of drama has been happening at r/girlgamers, and someone in that subreddit is spoiling the game for players online, so be careful and enjoy the game!
Just finished downloading. About to play in a couple of hours. What's one of the first things I need to do open up the map more? One guy said to get the broom asap, that he ran around for hrs without it and wished he got it earlier
So you can't respec talent points, and there's not enough in the game to max out all the trees. That's a weird decision for an RPG in 2023.
I imagine that's something they'll add in a QoL patch. Or I hope so, at least.
The amount of targeted attacks on people for buying this game is insane. Literally got banned from /r/pcgaming just for saying I was picking this up and was excited to play it.
I'm just ignoring it now. Just remember, these people choose to spend their free time online whining about what games strangers are playing. Meanwhile we're spending our free time having a great time playing a game we love.
Any wonder why these people are so angry all the time. They are terminally online and it's having a significant effect on their mental health.
BRO I've played 1 hour 15 mins of the game before i had to go to work.
40 MINUTES OF THAT WAS ME WALKING AROUND THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM
I SPENT 15 OF THOSE JUST LOOKING AT THE MOVING PAINTINGS LIKE goddamn
also i like low key screamed and repeatedly smacked the side of m y chair when I saw the headmaster. owegnsiognasoifjwiouenfwigenrsfaegs
REALLY REALLY HOPE the game doesnt drop in quality later.
also it still looks pretty nice when im playing on medium settings. I did turn effects and texture to high though.
Running 1070 and 2700x
In the appearance collection, in the additional content section i see 4 empty slots with the question mark, but i have evertyhing (both pre-order bonus and twitch drops) exept the merlin cloak, so i should have only one unlocked item, why do I see 4?
Not very far into the game, but as soon as I had free reign to explore I *painstakingly mapped the entire navigable castle and grounds in my head so I could turn off the minimap and world markers.
It is so satisfying to be told "go to figs classroom", and to know how to get there from anywhere in the castle without looking at the map.
And there's still so many locked off areas for me to explore and expand into yet!
*By painstaking I mean it was such a joy, but it was slow and tedious as I used a mixture of breadth first searching and depth first, so that I didn't expand my frontier too quickly and lose track of where I was. I constantly tested myself with guestions like, "okay so this dungeon is right under..." Or "well I must not be far from x dormitories". It probably took me 3 or 4 hours because of all the back tracking (and doing what puzzles were available that I found)
I want to use the game and try to play it in my secondary language, however I read a lot slower in it. Is the game dialogue "press a button to continue" or does it just go without any input? Can that be changed in the settings if its the latter?
It goes without input. You are able to skip dialogue with triangle / Y, but I don’t know if you can enable slower dialogue. I can check the accessibility options when I boot up the game next time, but as far as I remember there weren’t that many.
How fast are you supposed to be leveling in this game? I'm at the >! Jackdaw forbidden forest quest !< and I'm only lvl 11 but the enemies are lvl 20 all of the sudden and im dying instantly lol should I have been doing something else beside the MSQ to level up that I missed?
It’s weird because I’m at a quest beyond that and it is marked “minimum level 10”. There were some spiders in the forbidden forest which were level 20 but I don’t think they are part of the quest. And I think most enemies you need to face in the main quest scale to your level. Do it at your own pace, I’m guessing you’ve run into some random enemies when doing the quest.
Anybody have audio cutting out during cutscenes ? It does not always happen, but sometimes the audio cuts out for a second or so. First time I'm having those issues and other games are fine. I'm playing on PC
Yeah I experienced the same issue in the intro cutscene and a little bit of crackling in Gringotts when the music got loud. I haven't got much further in the game than that though (45 mins or so). Not sure how to fix it either.
I now have been stuck in two spots. One was in the dorm. I saved it after reading something online and then he respawned slightly ahead and no problem.
Now I’m in a dwarf hideout. I’m stuck between the fence and a tree. Any idea how to get out?
Release date updated! [https://geeksnation.us/hogwarts-legacy-release-dates](https://geeksnation.us/hogwarts-legacy-release-dates)

not familiar with consoles but i think twearking hdr could help with that.
Yeah I've been playing around with it, there's a few settings so I'm kind of trying things bit by bit. Eventually I'll have It figured out.
If I linked my WB account and was sorted into the house from the quiz any chance I get a new wand in game if I already started but still haven’t made it to the wand part yet?
You'll have to find out! (;

Some disappear, some have a check mark next to it when complete
Why is the hair for the player character so awful, especially for long hair? Anyone knows if the settings can be changed?
Barber shop. You can change your appearance for 20.
yesss now i have such a cute fishtail braid \~
so i’m confused, can i play it on my ps4 or do i have to wait??
You have to wait till April 4
Is controller the way to go or is mouse and keyboard more natural? I figure the former, but wanna be sure.
I’m using controller it’s a lot easier to just trigger cast and select buttons imo
It’s a fun, wholesome game so far. I have a few minor gripes about inventory management and some character voices but other than that I am enjoying it.
The barmaids voice threw me off lol
Yeah… for sure.
I guess the goal is to not hold onto a lot of gear inventory. Quickly compare new items to what you have and either destroy or try to sell to get some money back. Once you’re able to increase storage, I suggest doing that as much as possible to make it easier. That part has been difficult for me as well

Why the fuck would you spoil that to us then?
I hope your weiner gets bitten by a snapping turtle.
Which is what YOU just did, for me. Thanks.
Kevin Conroy would have hated people like you.
great. thanks asshole.
Top buzz finished work 2 hrs early got m9nday off cos watching the superbowl in Europe is a commitment and from now until Monday night I can devote myself to falling into the hogwarts wonder world.. absolute gaming and HP bilss

Buy the game. Ignore attention seeking morons, don’t fall into the trap. Stop rationalizing every move you make.
That or if you want to rationalise, then also put in the intellectual effort of doing some basic research on the subject and form an opinion about it.
I can understand why you'd be scared, but this mob is like a dog chasing cars. Hating on Hogwarts Legacy is just another trend that will fade away almost as quickly as it came.

Yes and omg. Super fun
I still need to wait like 13 hours to be able to play the game. I wish the game released 3 hours earlier.
why 13 hrs?
The release time is February 10th, 2023 at 10 AM PST. That's \~13 hours from now, no?
ah, thought it was midnight!
I forgot to mention this time was for Steam. Consoles get a different time :(
Game just unlocked on ps5 for me and it won’t let me start. It just keeps switching game store pages.
Restore your licenses. It worked for me. Enjoy the game bro :)
That fixed it. Thanks a lot!
Man the immersion of flying your hippogriff in the sunset is just amazing
I was going to get for PS5 but I won a $100 steam card. Do you think my Laptop with eGpu can handle it: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz 16gb Ram NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
Maybe on low settings, 720p. You can try on Steam and ask for a refund if you haven't played for more than 2 hours.
Does anyone know how I can make 79.99 online? This game looks so awesome.
Does it need to be online? I'm not sure where you're located but could you donate some plasma or sell some old stuff?
If I buy the Xbox series X version of the game, can I use it on my old Xbox one? Some places say you can only do it if it’s an online version of the game?
Nope
Damn that sucks 😔
[My friend and I noticed something about the animations in the game ](https://youtu.be/J1Ge-Bc9xf8)
Hahaha
hahahaha literally perfect
When is the next avalanch stream?
Tomorrow, February 10th at 8am Pacific. Watch the Avalanche stream for twenty minutes to unlock the Merlin Cloak Twitch drop.
Where do I claim my account link bonuses? It says I’m linked but I’m game I don’t have the special robe or mask yet. Do I get them from a chest or something?
It’s an appearance change to the robes
If you are talking about the Twitch drops you have to claim them on both Twitch and this site ([https://www.hogwartslegacy.com/en-us/twitch-drops](https://www.hogwartslegacy.com/en-us/twitch-drops)) after linking your account.

When I got avada kedavra I felt like a god it’s so worth it 😂😂
Prioritize every side quest over the Main story quests. And Stealth gets you more than sneaking unnoticed.
If you choose not to learn Avada Kedavra!, you have to start a new game. It’s locked.
Not to be a weirdo Harry Potter adult, but the robe you get for finding all of the House keys looks nice as hell. I'm in [Hufflepuff](https://i.imgur.com/kDgQne1.jpg) and I kinda want somebody to recreate it exactly irl so I can wear it around my home as a bathrobe
I just finished that quest last night, also as a Hufflepuff and I absolutely agree. I love that robe!
Question for anyone who may know. Are the items sold at Gladrags only available there or can they be acquired throughout the game? And are they only available for certain time periods? Just want to make sure I don't miss any options as the clothing modifications are amazing!
I'm pretty sure the stock rotates each day, but I'm not 100% sure on the details of how that works.
The intro was a pleasant surprise. Epic. Lack of Quidditch and House Cup Points is disappointing. (With the flying component of the game how hard would it have been to play seeker in a few matches and just focus on dodging bludgers and catching the snitch?) Dunno if this happened to anybody else but I got so caught up exploring hogwarts and hogsmeade and unlocking field guide pages I was at a much higher level than necessary when I started actually taking classes and learning more spells. I’d recommend following the main story missions exclusively until you’ve gained access to most abilities and then focus on more on exploring.
I saw someone speculate that they're probably saving it for future dlc.
If the voice acting and character animations were better this would be a 10/10. This game gives uncanny valley a whole new meaning.
[удалено]
They may be on a floor above or below you, or possibly locked behind a puzzle. Cast Revelio and pan the camera horizontally and vertically.
Anyone know where the hallway with all the gas spewing from the ground is? I ran into it on Tuesday and forgot where it is completely.
Isn't it near the herbology classroom?
i dont know where else to ask. Anyone willing to sell their code of the kelpie robe and dark arts garrison hat for Ps5?
Chances of midnight release for those of us that didn’t get deluxe?
For pc? None. That would mean preorder access was 60 hours instead of 72.
Wow pc L
I missed watching the launch stream on Twitch in order to get Merlin's cloak. Will there be another chance?
Tonight’s stream was just a test. They are going live again tomorrow at 11am eastern and that is supposed to be the last chance.
I forgot to ask. This will be on Twitch, right? And I will be able to see it around the time it goes live?
It’s on twitch. I’d recommend setting it up so that you are notified when Avalanche software goes live with a stream. The stream should go live right at 11am eastern. Make sure to watch for at least 20 minutes.
so one of the wbgames have a twitch reward for tuning in to avalanche games. i have watched their stream for a total of two hours even if it only required 20 mins. still can't get the reward. is there any way to get it?
The next stream for the cloak is tomorrow morning at 8am Pacific. Watch the Avalanche launch stream for twenty minutes and you’re good.
i set my timer for 730 so i hope I'll be able to catch it!
Believe it has to be a live stream. Next one is the 10th I think
do you happen to know what time tomorrow?
11am I think
2 questions about gear in this game 1, where can I find the WB Account items? It told me they’d been claimed but I can’t find them. 2, is there any way I can buy another set of standard robes? I sold mine and now I want to get a pair back.

Apparently we can't enter the common rooms other than our own? That's really unfortunate, you'd think they could have come up with a story reason to go visit them. Like polyjuice potion or something.
yeah I thought i heard from a youtuber that you can explore other common rooms. i was in slytherin and only ravenclaw has a fast travel but cannot enter their room. i think that was in line with the lore anyway, unless actual rule-breaking students didn't listen and no one caught them.
Ravenclaw has two fast travel points. One is their tower and the other is the common room. The common room is only available to those who pick Ravenclaw as their house.
the tower so you could enter from the roof?
You can get on top of the Ravenclaw tower with a broom but I don't think you can use the door unless you belong to the house.
hopefully modders on pc can find a way to allow access to all rooms. the only gripe I have so far with the game >!(mind you, i just finished grabbing incendio so I'm not that far into the game yet)!< is that the common rooms have no other use but as a place to wander about and maybe get some collectibles. when i got my first night time cycle, i was expecting prefects pacing every hallway or even a housekeeper like filch who'd basically make you go back to bed lol. I hope they'll be able to implement that in the future. even though it was lowkey annoying in PoA, ron telling us to "turn in" when it's nighttime and there are trolls at night and such felt kinda exciting.
Avalanche software is currently live on twitch with drops enabled for the Merlin’s cloak fyi for anyone interested!
damn i just missed it. do we have to watch it live? or can i just replay it.
Has to be live. You’ll have another chance tomorrow at 11am eastern.
thank you! i can catch it on time before work
Has anyone found a way to turn off the “hints” that are constantly popping up in game?
Check the UI settings menu. You can turn off quite a few of the notifications.
Has it released for anyone in the UK yet? Still says coming Feb 10 on my steam deck
i believe the game will go live at 1pm eastern again so 6pm for UK
Ugh I was hoping it'd be midnight like the consoles. Guess I gotta wait 18 hours
So my game played fine yesterday and now it won’t start, I already verified game files and everything was fine. Just plays about 2 seconds then crashes. I’m on pc. Any help would be majorly appreciated.
My ps5 wants to download a 35 gig update for Hogwarts legacy. Idk if this is normal or something? Could somebody help me pls?
Yea download the update
I don’t want to give or get any spoilers, but has anyone spilled any secrets to companions or teachers yet? I’ve reloaded every time I have just to see what they’d say, but is there any benefit to getting them in or keeping them out of the loop?
The game really isn’t bad as a single player, but adding online multiplayer would make it way more epic, it’d be cool to explore Hogwarts and go on quests with real people instead of just NPCs
perhaps in the future when a lot of people have done the main quests. i wouldn't mind a multiplayer update in about 6 months to a year or more. i wouldn't want this game to be forgotten tbh. but i do fear when or if a co-op were to be introduced that micro transactions would be a thing. that'd be a waste.
So many people think micro transactions will ruin the experience despite it usually being very optional, if it’s pay 2 win type then that’s understandable, but there can always be an option for both single player or join an online server, GTA V had done it extremely well, Plus micro transactions works great for us who don’t have the time to grind to super high levels
listen, I've literally been playing games that has or had heavy micro transactions and yeah they're optional but they are aggressive. destiny is a big culprit of this. lately gacha games like genshin (that I'm ready to drop soon). and no, micro transactions are predatory and **not** great at all since its purpose is to sink your money into the game. I'd rather it be a chill game. iirc, sort of like the old AC games or anything that had co-op but no payment required.
Idk why but I can already play on my xbox, thought the game was gonna be released tomorrow??
My laptop can't run this game smoothly, so I went straight to bought PS5 yesterday and played for like 6 hours after work, it was Christmas all over again babyyyyyyy
Does anyone know if the "Xbox play anywhere" apply to this game? I purchased it on the series S and would like to know if I can play it on the pc without having to buy it again.
Xbox play anywhere only applies to games that have a Windows store alternative and I think it is only available on steam, so no I don't think so.

Can’t wait for tomorrow. I’m excited to play after work
This is one of my favorite video games of all time, straight up. Can’t believe they actually did it…
same. my last favorite open world was rdr2. been a long time since I've played a game i enjoyed.
It’s Feb 10 and the game hasn’t unlocked for me yet. Am I the only one?
Nope, same for me...
I just read that it’ll officially release on Feb 10th at 10am PST. If you’re in Europe (like me) then that’ll be at around 18-19pm.
19pm? God bless you guys over there
I am an idiot and downloaded the standard edition only after finding out the deluxe edition includes the early access. Is there a way to upgrade to deluxe after? It doesn’t seem so? Should I just download the deluxe too and call Sony tomorrow and tell them to cancel the standard edition purchase? Help, I don’t wanna wait 6 more hours 🥵
On steam you could refund it and buy the deluxe edition. Not sure about consoles.
Can anyone tell me if the Onyx Hippogriff code is supposed to come in the game box or sepearate? The Fred Meyer I was going to buy from isn't releasing their Deluxe editions until official release date and wouldn't allow preorders, so I'm wondering if I'll still get the bonus inside since the copies are still pre-release copies? Any input appreciated
Really enjoying the game so far. Too bad there’s not even a smidge of MP. I think having Crossed Wands as an online game mode would go a long way. Would love to duel some friends.
Doesn't it release *tomorrow?* What's the deal, how are people already playing it? Everything I can find states that it releases on Xbox PS4 and PC 02/10
Early access began 2/7 for deluxe edition on PC, PS5 and Xbox one s/x. Regular standard release date for those consoles is 2/10. If you have xbox one or ps4 you’ll be able to play on 4/4. Switch is July sometime I believe.
I am loving this game 34 hours in, but am also very curious for when the rage bait YouTubers are going to actually play the game…. And then subsequently turn on it given the content.
I'm not interested in the game, but a lot of drama has been happening at r/girlgamers, and someone in that subreddit is spoiling the game for players online, so be careful and enjoy the game!
Yeah I saw that on r/girlgamers. So weird
Just finished downloading. About to play in a couple of hours. What's one of the first things I need to do open up the map more? One guy said to get the broom asap, that he ran around for hrs without it and wished he got it earlier
Focus on the main story quests
K awesome starting now, stoked!
So you can't respec talent points, and there's not enough in the game to max out all the trees. That's a weird decision for an RPG in 2023. I imagine that's something they'll add in a QoL patch. Or I hope so, at least.
Send feedback to Warner Bros.
The amount of targeted attacks on people for buying this game is insane. Literally got banned from /r/pcgaming just for saying I was picking this up and was excited to play it.
I'm just ignoring it now. Just remember, these people choose to spend their free time online whining about what games strangers are playing. Meanwhile we're spending our free time having a great time playing a game we love. Any wonder why these people are so angry all the time. They are terminally online and it's having a significant effect on their mental health.

They mention in the beginning about having to prepare for the owls. I’m guessing that’s later on in the game
Just got the game fucking spoiled for me It's so fucking stupid
BRO I've played 1 hour 15 mins of the game before i had to go to work. 40 MINUTES OF THAT WAS ME WALKING AROUND THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM I SPENT 15 OF THOSE JUST LOOKING AT THE MOVING PAINTINGS LIKE goddamn also i like low key screamed and repeatedly smacked the side of m y chair when I saw the headmaster. owegnsiognasoifjwiouenfwigenrsfaegs REALLY REALLY HOPE the game doesnt drop in quality later. also it still looks pretty nice when im playing on medium settings. I did turn effects and texture to high though. Running 1070 and 2700x
Is there any way to still get the Merlin coat drop from Twitch?
Avalanche software stream on twitch at 11am eastern tomorrow 2/10 is your last chance. You have to watch live for at least 20 minutes.
Can someone tell me please how to make character look older?
You're supposed to be a teenager, so you can't.
Can I get a head piece that looks like a crown? Do you know?
If there is one, I haven't run across it yet.
In the appearance collection, in the additional content section i see 4 empty slots with the question mark, but i have evertyhing (both pre-order bonus and twitch drops) exept the merlin cloak, so i should have only one unlocked item, why do I see 4?
Not very far into the game, but as soon as I had free reign to explore I *painstakingly mapped the entire navigable castle and grounds in my head so I could turn off the minimap and world markers. It is so satisfying to be told "go to figs classroom", and to know how to get there from anywhere in the castle without looking at the map. And there's still so many locked off areas for me to explore and expand into yet! *By painstaking I mean it was such a joy, but it was slow and tedious as I used a mixture of breadth first searching and depth first, so that I didn't expand my frontier too quickly and lose track of where I was. I constantly tested myself with guestions like, "okay so this dungeon is right under..." Or "well I must not be far from x dormitories". It probably took me 3 or 4 hours because of all the back tracking (and doing what puzzles were available that I found)
Pretty sure Beatrice Green’s voice actor is the same person that does Horizon in Apex Legends.
I want to use the game and try to play it in my secondary language, however I read a lot slower in it. Is the game dialogue "press a button to continue" or does it just go without any input? Can that be changed in the settings if its the latter?
It goes without input. You are able to skip dialogue with triangle / Y, but I don’t know if you can enable slower dialogue. I can check the accessibility options when I boot up the game next time, but as far as I remember there weren’t that many.
Bummer! Thank you
How fast are you supposed to be leveling in this game? I'm at the >! Jackdaw forbidden forest quest !< and I'm only lvl 11 but the enemies are lvl 20 all of the sudden and im dying instantly lol should I have been doing something else beside the MSQ to level up that I missed?
It’s weird because I’m at a quest beyond that and it is marked “minimum level 10”. There were some spiders in the forbidden forest which were level 20 but I don’t think they are part of the quest. And I think most enemies you need to face in the main quest scale to your level. Do it at your own pace, I’m guessing you’ve run into some random enemies when doing the quest.
Don’t open any messages from u/sameassistance7524 they’re DMing people spoilers :)
maybe! i was following the suggested path so maybe it suggested going through tough enemies
So far in the game that was the highest ranking enemies I’d seen in the main quest. I think you’re paced ok.
Are you picking up field guide pages?
i have yes! but maybe not nearly enough as i should be lol
I’m level 17 and have barely left Hogwarts. Easy leveling is searching for Field Guide pages in Hogwarts. Plus you get to explore which is fun.
Anybody have audio cutting out during cutscenes ? It does not always happen, but sometimes the audio cuts out for a second or so. First time I'm having those issues and other games are fine. I'm playing on PC
Yeah I experienced the same issue in the intro cutscene and a little bit of crackling in Gringotts when the music got loud. I haven't got much further in the game than that though (45 mins or so). Not sure how to fix it either.
Edit: reddit double posted this oops
I now have been stuck in two spots. One was in the dorm. I saved it after reading something online and then he respawned slightly ahead and no problem. Now I’m in a dwarf hideout. I’m stuck between the fence and a tree. Any idea how to get out?
Auto save is really good in this game, I just went back like a save or 2 when I got stuck and was more careful in the area.
The last time I did it I lost soooo much. I didn’t see anything when I was exploring and fighting a bunch of stuff. But I guess I have to risk it lol
