[@thermalrain_yt9725]

No way! I don't know how anyone plays like that. The games camera is exraordidinarily slow. I turned all my stuff all the way up and you just look towards who you want to kill like every other game

[@mastroitek]

@@thermalrain_yt9725 but your camera speed is still limited, I still have to try this method, but at the moment even with the camera speed maxed it feels a limiting factor to me. Anyhow, am I the only one that does not quite enjoy the audio engine of the game?

[@shibity]

There's so much potential for expansions imo. Expanded house specific quests, quidditch, more spells, enemies, new areas. I definitely think there's enough for the devs to build on for the next decade

AZKABAN DLC🔥🔥🔥

[@-_Nuke_-]

For me, I'm waiting for a gameplay overhaul mod, that will make you unable to do certain things like, going to hogsmead at night, or even walk around hogwarts at night, or being able to do that but you shouldn't get caught. Something like a more realistic mod. Also, house points - you gather and lose house points depending on your actions. These kinds of things...

[@shibity]

@@-_Nuke_- sneaking at night around the castle would be fun, and could be worked into some missions nicely.

[@-_Nuke_-]

@@shibity Yes, I feel that I can basically do whatever I want right now, with zero consequences... The world is stunningly beautifull, but gameplay doesn't seem to have depth... I'm basically like a God in this game, and this doesn't rhyme very well, especially if you consider than I'm just a student.

[@dylanpsimer4583]

[@Godeias]

The thing that annoys me most is R2 being used for both main attacks and held to spells, it makes combat feel so frantic trying to tap or hold the button.

[@heatheninferos2231]

Even my poor ol’ Beasts are feeling the effect of that one. I’ll admit it’s a minor issue, but I think slowing time for half a second if you’re mid-combo and go to hold RT could be a great deal of help. Wouldn’t fix the Beast issue but that’s more out of a cocktail of stupidity and impatience anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s easy enough to learn where your spells are in your sets and seamlessly switch them in and out as you need them, but it’s another thing to attempt that and simultaneously attempt blocking or dodging another attack. So many times I’ll end up going to cast my B/Y spell instead of dodging or blocking. Other than that, I think the combat is pretty great. The whole game, really. Easily the best game release is many years. Made some AAA franchises look stupid.

[@ericsinchina]

Most frustrating is casting Lumos when I try to block. 😀

[@stevenauldridge2679]

[@kamii_999]

@@GeoRenegade Bruh Forspoken is trash compared to this game. Forspoken is a wait for a discount game with a terrible story and a crappy protagonist. Hogwarts Legacy is leagues ahead of Forspoken and comparing them is an insult to the developers of Hogwarts legacy.

[@XultanisDragon]

This is the thing that kills me about targeting systems. They used to feel so intuitive back in the day. Like ninja gaiden xbox or even shadow of morder. You could point the control stick towards the one dude you wanted to hit that is surrounded by other enemies and you would still attack the enemy you wanted. Even with targetting with the control stick in hogwarts, its still not as intuitive as I want. When I go to cast a spell sometimes it targets the person closest to me instead of the guy in the back I'm aiming for. Lots of games have been doing this for a while now and its pissing me off. Like how did we go from being able to specifically target anything no matter where it was, to only being able to do half of that?

[@sawdust8691]

@J.U.A. OFFICIAL that's not how it is. There's a reason this games combat system is one of the most praised aspects. What you saw here is just the games tutorial. Later in when it's filled out, it's quite a lot to handle. You're juggling at least 12+ buttons. Pretty much every button on the controller is in near constant use. Swapping between spell sets, potions, parrying, dodging, throwing, comboing, etc. And each enemy type has different weaknesses. Which you need to pay attention to later in. It's a LOT to juggle. The combat is shockingly good. And enemies don't pull punches. They are aggressive and attack from all sides. If you aren't prepared with good spells, good timing, potions, and combat items, you'll most likely die. It's way more than first meets the eye. Games like Forspoken look flashy but are ultimately shallow. Games like this appear simpler but are actually rather deep.

[@Lithenius]

@@GeoRenegade I totally understand why you think it looks this way, but I promise you its not. I died multiple times on hard difficulty trying to beat this training section. You have to use the appropriate colored spells to break their shields, otherwise you do no damage to them.

[@thierryyu8509]

Going in hard difficulty is also a good way to improve combat: much shorter reaction time given when you're about to be attacked, counter attacks do not break shield anymore, after a short period of time, shield around enemies become invisible so you have to shoot it to see what type of shield the foe is using if you don't remember. The fights become way much more tricky.

[@R.a.f.a.e.l.]

Yeah im playing on hard. The roll-apparating-dash talent becomes your best friend in my opinion. I hardly use Protego since many strong enemies can break it. Better to just dodge while doing combos. Its crazy intense but its worth it.

[@KalvinKoolAidKool]

@@R.a.f.a.e.l. dash is not the best ability by far you have no idea how useless that ability becomes when you start fighting melee enemies troll goblins or any enemy who don’t use spell attack they can just basically lunge at you from crazy distance tracking in this game is boderline broken. Enemies would teleport or glide just to reach you with their attack I’ve quickly learn this in battle arena fighting spell caster and melee enemies weren’t thought very well combat becomes very unfun the second you fight more than 4 enemies

[@R.a.f.a.e.l.]

@@KalvinKoolAidKool I'm at level 27 actually and 'ive faced quite a few trolls. You're having no clue as to how to use dash/roll/apparating talent. If the enemy has a combo you have to use it repeatedly, and it works. You just have to do it with proper timing. The troll, for instance, has a main 3-hit combo, and yes, he is able to cover quite some distance at his last hit - so you won't avoid it by dashing just once, obviously. Duels have actually become quite easy by now, I beat entire camps and even bosses using nearly no potions because of Dash/Roll + spell combos. So you gotta improve your timing. Troll attacks are very predictable, btw. If you master it I assure you that dash with apparating talent will become one of your favorites. I hardly use Protego and I hardly get hit anymore, so I've been finishing even hard quests using few healing potions if any at all. I completely disagree with you, combat is VERY fun, especially with more than 4 enemies. You are definitely not using Talents right, since you can make your spells hit multiple enemies, so there are numerous approach possibilities regarding combat.

[@MrBloodshot]

@@KalvinKoolAidKool Yeah It completely defeats the whole point, rather it have a cool down and it actually work.

[@hyperbomb02]

I had camera relative aiming off but I started to encounter issues with the aiming being a bit much to deal with, so I went back to relative aiming back on. I find with the dodge skill and the minimap, you can position yourself more easily with everyone in front. Add in skill that collect enemies together on spell cast instead of being single target and I sort of see the camera aiming issue being a side effect of early game untalented combat.

[@heatheninferos2231]

Precisely the thing I was going to say. While it was nice to have freedom over where I aim, it usually means more misses because doing things like throwing objects doesn’t always lock on the way it normally does. Not only this, but if you’re anything like me then you aren’t stood still for longer than a spell cast. Even with the freedom to shoot where you want to, it seems to severely impact the auto aiming. The amount of spells I cast that hit right beside a target because it didn’t lock to them while they run around frantically.

[@KulZaze]

@@heatheninferos2231 Omg same thing was happening with me, once I managed to upgrade all gear at legendary I started playing on Hard Mode, and the worst is when 3 different shields are up and you hit a yellow on a blue that's right next to him it gets quite irritating. What I've done is reduce camera acceleration to 0 and sensitivity max but kept the Camera-Relative Targeting on, I've been able to get my hit and spells much more consistently this way.

[@dylanmurphy9389]

Camera relative targeting is so much better

[@firstpersonlooter]

This mission was the first time I started to get frustrated. I had the lock on feature, but could not logon to someone on the far left, and it seemed like every time I finally got the person I wanted highlighted, the moment I want for the attack, I hit someone else. I since learn to work within the controls and feeling of the camera… But I’m excited to try these new settings.

[@EdTheDragonSlayer]

It still kinda strange for me that my character, who is supposedly a student, is some sort of magical John Wick that can dodge roll and do crazy wand-fu on the fly.

[@redn3nder]

I'm playing with M&KB and, to be honest, it feels amazing. Whenever I don't want the automatic targeting, I can literally aim with right click, and it is so satisfying to grab a barrel or something and literally aim it at whoever I want. I feel like they've come to a very nice middle ground between a hack and slash and a third person shooter.

[@Kratos510e]

I actually really like how when you counter a spell with your protective shield, that it immediately targets the person who was attacking you and move the camera to focus on them. Not sure if changing the settings for the fact that, but I think that is a nice feature.

[@krazo4Christ]

Harry uses plenty of spells throughout the books. He uses a few spells a lot (expeliarmus, stupefy, expecto patronum, accio, lumos, etc.), but those are just the common ones. Goblet of Fire saw him expanding his spell repertoire quite a bit, and he also taught an entire class a bunch of spells the following year - not just spells he commonly used, but other spells like protego, and reducto (which Ginny was quite adapt at). He even uses some very obscure spells as protection enchantments in the final book.

[@foxtrotdeltausn4757]

My biggest complaint so far is there is no pause if you're in a cutscene. (PC)

[@mwalvis43]

You may think some of the quests are redundant, but it actually gives a lot of the characters a point of being a relationship and that’s what I love about this game. Yes, you have 3, 4 or 5 characters that you really care about, but having the different personalities and back stories really helps that’s another thing I loved about the way they did FF7 remake and rebirth just like this game I love it.❤❤❤ one of my issues on the PC though I find certain things that I’m trying to grab where I only want them to come a certain distance and it seems like I’m putting too much power, pressing the button in comparison to the PlayStation that has been my biggest issue when you do that first class pulling one of those metal balls towards you and it’s like you’ve yanked it to the next century lol when all you wanna do is just pull it just a few feet. It goes 10 feet.

[@gagalover2k10]

Th ask for this, the aiming was kind of a pain but not too much that I wasn’t enjoying it, I’ll try with these settings to see how it feels for me. I was worried the first 15/20 minutes, my character felt sluggish to move and I just thought that that was what the controls were going to be like, but thankfully after the opening and you start being able to explore, the fluidity of the movement is so satisfying. So far I’m really enjoying it.

[@duglyfe2514]

if you play on pc, i found that changing dodge roll from cntrl to right click is a game changer

[@ChristyTina22]

Thank you! This helped in more ways than one. I won't spoil anything, but I was in an area where saving was disabled. I missed a chest that wasn't quick to get. I went back for it, continued on, then died. Because there was no auto save, I had to repeat the process. I died multiple times. If it wasn't a decent piece of gear in there, I would have ignored it. Apparantly messing with the settings forces a save as well as improving my fighting.

[@daws1922]

Personally, I think it's understandable why they made a relatively small selection of spells, if we really think about it some of them, or at least the most popular ones, can be quite redundant. Like I remember in the leaked trailer from 2018 where at some point the character used the spell expulso to bring down a door, and that spell basically generates an explosion, just like bombarda or confringo, with the only difference that it's colored blue. I just prefer the fact they went with quality over quantity, add fewer but more varied spells that actually help the player and serve a purpose in the game

[@deathstrik3]

I believe they talked about this in the dev stream today. Between all the books, only around 70 or so spells were mentioned or detailed, and between all the contextual spells and equippable ones, the game has effectively half the spells in the "known potterverse". Of the remaining half, seven we know don't exist yet, because Snape made them. Others may or may not exist yet, or are as you said, redundant or unneeded.

[@jokybones]

I love the combat system...i think they did a great job...

[@crimsoniroh]

There's actually other very powerful spells that they could have added in connection to ancient magic. The spells that Dumbledore used against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix and visa versa. There was the fire whip, the fire snake, that water style charm he used to incase Voldemort in, and even that transfiguration spell that turned glass into a simpler state of matter. Then there's the fire storm Dumbledore conjured in Half-Blood Prince. Don't forget Lumos Maxima. There's also a ton of other spells they could have added on top of the spells you've already learned like a mastered version of each spell.

[@Helluvabutl3r]

I personally don’t think all should be known as a fifth year. It’d be cool if there were expansions to expand upon school years/add more classes to learn more spells. The school part of the game is part of the most intriguing to me cause nothing else has done that other than say games like bully

Damn, whoever called out the fact Harry barely used any spells in the movies you was right, it’s been like 5 years since I watched it and I’ve done a count from memory… roughly in order (I think), wingardium leviosa, expelliarmus, ridikulus, patronous, accio, stupefy, crucio, imperio…alohamora and reducto are maybe in there too… but I think that’s it?? I might of missed a couple but damn, MC of the story was nerfed!! Even during OTTP’s DA scenes, we see him training all these people but never once using the spells, “livicorpus” for example? (Basically levioso). Accio he only used in three instances from what I can remember: firebolt, portkey, medicine. Wingardium leviosa was only during the first film right? Ridikulus (probs butchered that spelling) was only used in the 3rd film. The patronous made an appearance in theeee 3rd and 5th films when Harry used it? Reducto I’m not sure about I just vaguely feel like he said it during one of the DA scenes. What’s funny is they’re given these wands and then half of the things they cast are silent incantation-less spells, which is also funny because pretty sure hogwarts don’t reach silent spell casting or even speak about it, at least not in hogwarts legacy they didn’t😂

Yea but isn’t there a possibility of missing if you don’t turn your player with your left stick without locking

[@alfierocks67]

Appreciate this! Just beat Elden ring on Sunday so the combat felt a bit too easy and the lock on target was annoying

[@Mulmus_Maximus]

many people say, that turning off camera acceleration is a must, but I don't think so. I'm lucky to own a very precise controller, and with that, turning acc slightly higher as well as the camera speed workes the best for me. With that I can quickly look around in combat and make gorgeous cinematic shots walking around e.g.

[@user-hd5cc2dh1l]

Came here for just this tip. Thank you. Combat is better now.

[@TheSGBrown]

DLC? One of the splash screens has a link to the "STORE". When clicked, that link went to page that stated that the destination was not yet available. . .

[@briella9309]

When you were in combat with that duel. When your spell hits the person. It has like sparks after like around them how do I do that it looks cool

[@condorX2]

I use mouse and keyboard. Solo against 4 without using any regular attack. It get tiring after a while. Spider-Man Remaster thought me to avoid button smashing.

[@FighterChamp.]

You forgot to turn off aiming acceleration speed to 0 as well. Feels way better!

[@bakochoi]

idk why but i had no real issue with the targeting system but i also found the TTK for enemies was really fast on the second hardest difficulty so i was stackin dark wizards left and right

[@ClassyAssassin0]

Is camera acceleration why it feels so bad to move the camera around and why it continues to move for half a second sfter you stop moving the stick?

[@yhizz1809]

I noticed on controller moving the right analog stick for the camera feels super sluggish so I play on kbm and it feels super smooth

[@danvtec6942]

How do you control who you’re attacking if your camera direction doesn’t matter?

[@TheJML1975]

Thanks for posting this! I wasn’t happy with the camera movement and this took out, me spending ages looking for the perfect settings myself ! ❤

[@grandosprey6450]

Playing on KB&M I never felt like targeting was an issue probably because I can accurately and quickly turn to who I want to attack.

[@vasilisahope]

You are amazing I kept dying because of the camera issue on pc/keyboard. It looked easy when watching people play through play station 5. But annoying through pc. So this will help a lot.

[@codeyhunt9742]

I'm still holding out hope for a quidditch dlc! 🤘

[@ozzy9226]

2 things I have a problem with this game are the fact that with all the seats in this game u can't sit down unless it's a cutscene and I had some glitching when talking to the professors one on one it does not happen with the kids just the adults it's weird

[@thatoneguyffs]

Not once did I see you try and look at the guy to the right at the start of the video 30 seconds in and the issue is user error.

[@John-nu1od]

So with that setting turned off are you using the left stick to control what enemy you attack? Just like start moving towards them and it will attack whoever is directly in front of our character?

[@Kopite19877]

Yup 👍🏻 miles better

[@sawdust8691]

I saw the camera aiming setting right at the beginning of the game. I immediately turned it off, it's way better aiming with the movement stick. Same with camera acceleration. Though I turned camera acceleration all the way up, as turning it off made the camera a tad bit too slow for my liking, even at max sensitivity. So I set acceleration to max and camera speed to 1.5. Feels very responsive.

[@vividpsychosis8222]

Now how do you do this on PC without controller. I deselected camera target aim but nothing changed

[@Reikuma-X]

Do y’all not look at settings before you play? Genuine question, I spend 15 mins on every single game I buy in the settings menu before I even play for things such as.

[@zombieshop7907]

What's the second setting do? The camera acceleration one

[@bryon29able]

So I just have a small question how are you throwing barrels at people in the middle of combat how does that work,?

[@slvclw]

I keep having an undocumented chest issue. Not with legendary chests. Normal chests and nobody is taking about it. I will save a game before opening a chest then not like the gear and load my save before I opened it I’ve had chests disappear. One place I went to I lost all 3 gear drops this way

[@iamciaossu]

Lol I just finished the championship on dueling and it takes me 20 times to finish because of this right stick not changing the lock target. Will definitely try this later after work, thank you for this

[@TheKotor2309]

0:56

[@kingprone7846]

0:34 just move the mouse to the right? how hard is it?

[@zeynepstokholm3302]

Thanks a lot for this. I was going insane 😅😆 never did this much, so early in a game before. Hope this will make my combat better tomorrow

[@shadowprice8100]

These kinds of settings are really common in third person action games, such as god of war and ragnarok, ff7 remake... makes me wonder if they should just have them off by default if it ends up being annoying every game?

[@QuayNemSorr]

I've only just begun but this does look better. But how do you pick targets then??

[@zaccampa4055]

Thank you! I noticed that last night, I was not able to hit the enemies I wanted lol

[@Dan-vo7vc]

How are you selecting targets offscreen?

[@kremlokTD]

Watching the little avalanche live stream for this on launch day, one of the combat Devs suggested the camera settings to minimize lock on needs and I played from the start with these settings. Literally zero idea why this isn't default.

[@cozachthebarbarian7376]

TRI wizard tournament dlc 🤞🏻

[@uziclip2320]

This is why we need mouse and keyboard support for all console games.

[@snapfrostzz9946]

Wait can’t you just press down the r 3 button and it’ll lock onto whoever you want to target and then just move the R3 button over to switch targets, I didn’t switch any setting and started with the default settings, so I’m confused how people don’t know about the press R3 to lock on feature

[@CraneTrain]

I still don’t like how it doesn’t look at the people you are firing at because yeah they are off screen but what if they have a shield up and you shoot at them and it bounces back and hits you. Just soemthing to be wary of. But combat is awesome I love it but the camera they need to fix it somehow

[@ezraken9618]

Tbh crucio should down the foe for few sec and make it look like they are in pain and they should scream, it feels more like a combat spell it should be reworked so that it feels more sinister i want to keep holding a button to make an enemy scream

[@rexi1414]

I can not imagine deactivating camera relative targeting. It seems as the worst thing you could do. You need to be able to see what you attack. Trying to his stuff off-camera is not a solution, but a creation of another issue. How are you going to fight effectively if you don't know what spell to use in what situation, and you can only assess the situation if you see the enemy in your crosshair. Countering is possible even from off camera angles, so I don't see any reason why you would want to attack off camera. Focus what's in your FOV and protego what's incoming from outside the FOV. Upgrade the needed spells, train and progress, and you will see that camera relative aiming is the best way to play this game. *I think the actual issue that bothers me actually is that you can at most only map 4 combinations of spells, which is not enough to cover all the situations.* I constantly have to switch Lumus and Reparo and every time I want to adjust anything in the room of requirement I have to remap my 4th combination with evanesco, and those spells and when I take care of beasts I need to remap that combo again to beast related stuff. It makes me angry. I don't see why can you not have different spell-sets inside the RoR and the vivariums than the normal world.

[@piratehunterreviews9958]

This looks better but I'm not gonna lie just having to aim in the general direction by looking at someone wasn't that bad. You basically have a weak aimbot by default.

[@attackcrash655]

Yeah I figured this out while on the boss at the first trial, it helpss so much in conbat but infuriates me trying to customize the room of requirement lol

[@connorwright26]

How do you switch targets with this targeting mode switched off?
