I have to say I agree with you… The build up to what we actually got and how long it took to reveal didn’t need an announcement… small cosmetics and a photo mode

[@kimberleyoconnell2213]

Yeah & being able to adjust your talent points is kind of handicapped like.. what? I was just planning on playing through the game 4 different times, once as each house & figured I could play with the different talent points in different play throughs. I thought that was kind of the point? Don’t they want people to play through the game multiple times & be able to get different experiences each time? I liked the fact that you have to choose your talent points wisely cuz you only get a certain amount & you can’t take them back. It added another layer of difficulty & decision making to the game with a bit of balanced consequence. Idk. Maybe they can have that as an option, like difficulty in game mode, hard you shouldn’t be able to change talent points. & You do get to pick almost all of them anyway, I think there are only 4-6 left over by the time you reach max level. So that’s kind of a wack feature to the update. The photo mode will be the coolest thing. & those who get the haunted hogsmeade quest. I play on PS4 so I don’t think I get it 😔 If that’s the case, I’m super disappointed in this update that we waited so long for. They are just trying to push people to get PS5. I want a Switch

Clearly you all haven’t worked in gaming or software. Releases can take time, especially cross platforms, the photo mode isn’t as simple as a screenshot you can take with your controller, it’s a different function and UI, that allows filters, effects, functions. Those features go on iterations before accepted.

[@Aaron-un4jo]

@@trolleymctrollsen I’ve never heard of a marketing campaign taking half a year to reveal a photo mode. Marketing 101 if you’re going to garner hype… and a reveal, make sure it’s equal. Clearly, this was something that needed to be revealed first hand and time to level expectations. They didn’t do that, for example Sonic frontiers birthday update… an event that had something to reveal including photo mode, they cater to the expectations, and didn’t overkilled hype. Here are they had to reveal was a photo mode and cosmetics… this didn’t need to be a mysterious reveal update that started over half a year ago. The product just doesn’t match the marketing here.

@@simplyeason you're missing the point. It's about the manner in which the summer update has been communicated. If they just randomly released this as a patch, it would have been fine. But releasing this as a "small thank you" for the fans feels incredibly underwhelming. It would have been better not to release anything at all to be honest. They could have included the photo mode and resetting the talent points from the very beginning. It's really not a big deal. The rest of the items just feel like recycled material. Maybe they've even had these items from the very beginning and some of them, like the Azkaban outfit, just didn't make it into the game because the story changed during development. Either way it just feels like them going "here are some leftovers from 3 years ago. I put em in the microwave for 15 seconds so they might still be a bit cold. Anyway thanks for making us rich and what not. Enjoy your meal."

[@VonOutlaw]

I'm a PC player, and I've completed the game, I literally been waiting for this update to go back to Play It Again. I think that they'll have more updates. If they don't say that this is the last or only update, then you have to pretty much assume that they are going to have more updates. On top of that, since Hogwarts Legacy too will take some time and developments, I think that they will still be providing service to the first game until they get closer to the release of the 2nd. This pretty much happened with the Planet coaster right before the Planet zoo came out is primarily when they stopped the updates for the planet coaster. That's why I think that's they'll probably do that with this game since it's usually the routine that game developers will do in that type of situation.

They must realize this is a pitifully small offering? Surely they can't have had more than one part-time intern working on the update for the last 6 months? What a shame to botch this marketing so bad when there is such an appetite for games in the Wizarding World. Imagine if they had framed the update like this instead: "We appreciate all the love and support from fans. Thanks to the massive success of HL, we are pleased to announce what you all probably have long suspected--we have moved the focus of our teams into development of a sequel! But we haven't moved on entirely from HL, and as a show of our continual support to the player base as we excitedly await the next adventure, we are pleased to be releasing a small update this summer with additional cosmetics, minor bug fixes and tweaks, and a new quest available to PC and Xbox players.

The broom, glasses etc. nobody asked for. I also honestly can't believe that sitting was not included. It was literally the most requested feature.

[@BLUEnOVA360JR]

I haven't played the game in months. There's so much cut content that they could have added what was easier to save them time in the next game, which I won't be buying unless it vastly improves on everything. PM should have been in from the start. The fact we can't even sleep or sit down really highlights how utterly shallow & absent alot of game elements are when it comes to this game. 1 year & 5/6months of waiting for something significant to add to gameplay like maybe unlimited waves in battle arenas or Permanant crossed wands. & instead it's a bunch of cosmetics the exclusive quest which should have been on all platforms in the firstbplace & a photomode which also should have been in from the start. I suppose PM is something New spells would have been nice or Reducto, Expulso & Fiendfyre. Looks like I'll be playing other games. Each to their own though.

What’s a photo mode?

[@Terry2A]

I am excited about the update but i am already 100% on my PC and can’t get the Haunted Hogsmead quest unless I delete and start over. :(

[@dvdh4856]

That broom looks pretty! If I had already finished the game, idk if this would be enough to draw me back in, but since I haven't I think my curiosity about the broom will have me finish it finally lol. I hope for more content down the line, I feel like they would have mentioned it if this was the last update.

[@mulqueen2023]

I literally haven't touched the game since finishing it last year, and I've forgotten almost everything. Its got the HP whimsy down, flying on a Hippogriph, exploring the castle, that was done really well. But story wise, characters, classes etc, all were done so dirty.

[@mck0027]

One thing I'd like them to update is clothing customisation. Specifically, the pants. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the whole visible knee-socks for men. I know there are some outfits with the pants covering the socks, but it'd be a nice touch to be able to choose between visible pants legs or not, like how you can change the hood from up or down.

[@lighthousefilms5530]

I just started the game and am loving it! But they really need to fix the voice pitch bug Lol it's so annoying that metallic double voice anytime you change it.

[@Clarent_Blood_Arthur98]

I have the Playstation version and for some reason I haven't had the haunted hogsmeade store quest at all

[@loganbetts70]

So still no New Game+ mode...

[@RetroRaconteur]

Nope 😔

[@Tasslee]

Strangely now it’s been over a week since the update has come out, I’m on Nintendo switch and I have everything in the update but I don’t have the new hippogriff? I’m right at the end of the game and have highwing, so I don’t know why I didn’t get the onyx one. Any ideas?

[@adamobrien1945]

But have they patched the need to do the Revelio Collect-o-thon in subsequent playthroughs yet??

[@AturoZLopez]

What would be cool is if we get an update with the cut companion system content. Having another student back you up while exploring sounds like something people would enjoy. Especially the Sebastian simps…😅

[@XRos28]

The Talent Point Adjustment sounds pretty cool, for PC, as I am, THE Quest is amazing and the Felix Felicies potion is a small thing, but an amazing one as well.

[@Paul2377]

Really hope they fix the bug where the game takes away the two unique enemies from the Haunted Hogsmeade quest. My collections screen has been minus 2 enemies and they’re both in that quest and - because you can only play it once - I’ve never been able to get them back.

[@cpttekashi]

What have they been doing for the last year ? They must have knuckled down straight in to the sequel a few weeks after launch … because this summer update is not it 🤣

[@FormOverFlair]

Be honest retro.... you're a 'face' of the game, are you not utterly distraught by how poor the post launch support has been? I mean, this update wasn't even worth an announcement. It's an insult to the player-base.

[@RetroRaconteur]

Oh I've been saying for a while it's a huge missed opportunity if they don't do a large story DLC. My hope has always been for at least 2 major expansions on the level of something like CDPR did with Witcher 3's DLC.

[@mysticalmistress666-wc4ki]

I was honestly hoping for an automatic flight toggle in the controls, because I just can't get the handle of that stupid broom race against Imelda Reyes or whatever race it was that helped us unlock upgrades for the broom. I'm very disappointed such a mechanic wasn't added, but at least I'll finally get to play the Haunted Hogsmeade quest. Felix Felicis would've been better off just being mentioned if they were just gonna make it unimpressive and largely useless, frankly.

[@PlanetGenX]

Epic currently has a MEGA sale going on till June 13th and I deliberately got the PC version just to replay after the summer update. I already had the Xbox X version but I'm PC gaming nowadays again and want to have a different experience. I think the developers managed expectations pretty well. They constantly said it was a "LITTLE" update. Fair play, that's what it is. lol

[@antexrulerofdarkness5517]

Seeing as I play Hogwarts Legacy on my Switch, these new additions will be most welcome! Especially the resetting of Talent Points option cause I think there are some things I may have or may not have chosen when I should’ve chosen another. Lol! The Haunted Hogsmeade thing looks good along with the Onyx Hippogriff. The photo mode is also something to look forward to along with the Felix Felicis potion (which as you said was only available for the PC or PSP?). The only things I’m neutral toward is the Glasses That Lived and the Azkaban Prisoner’s Outfit & Cloak. Those are just cosmetic options that don’t mean too much to me (excluding the former with the nod-out to Harry Potter himself of course). Overall, this looks pretty good from what I’ve seen so far! Out of 10 points (and considering I’m still enjoying the main story in the game and many other things), I’m gonna give this update an 8/10!

[@Lyanraw]

I have 4 save slots 100% full. I'll jump back in but this really isn't enough for me to delete one. I had ps5 deluxe though so already have most of this

[@morganjcoxmusic]

Retro I've been listening to you in following you since the leaks of Hogwarts legacy and I never reached out but I just want to let you know you are amazing.

[@r.i.p.volodya]

I have Hogwarts Legacy on Ps5 (not the delux version) but could never get the Haunted Hogsmeade quest. Will June 6th give it to me?

[@cheyler]

They weren't kidding when they said to have low expectations.

[@RetroRaconteur]

😅😅😅

[@cheyler]

@@RetroRaconteur I'm still super excited for the quest tho and to be honest I will totally be using that broom lol

[@emmac3424]

As a hogwarts person more than gamer, yes I'll definitely be back in more often than I do now just to see how it all looks.

[@patrickthegreat1164]

I will only jump back in if the stuttering is gone.

[@lukefrohling]

Fantastic!! I bought this game on PC for my wife and then bought an ENTIRE PS5 just for her to be able to play the PS5 version (first time and last time I’ve ever bought a console). I like playing games but prefer to make them :)

[@Phillip-ino]

Am I just imagining this, or at one point if you were Ravenclaw, you could take off and land on top of the tower?

[@Songe467]

I would really, really like to see better flight controls. I can't do the broom quest stuff without getting frustrated, fed up and giving up.

[@rebeccalicari5168]

Will the new items be in my collection like the dark arts items were upon purchase, or do you think we will have to find them? Because I don’t feel like reopening 9 million chests again honestly

[@letsplaydemon666]

In my personal opinion the biggest mistake they made was not introducing some type of new game plus similar to Spider-Man two on PlayStation, like they give you venom halfway through the game, but when you beat it and go to new game plus they allow you to use the venom powers immediately so it can be done if developers choose to. I think it could just as easily be done in Hogwarts Legacy where you allow the player to have all of the inventory slots, all of the cosmetics so like the wands, hats,gloves etc, all the spells etc. but just have it be they still could use the spells but still just have to do the mission if they’re wanting to play the story, And have all of the collectibles unlocked etc, retain all of the fast travel locations and what not.

[@juneroughs]

i would've love it more if they allow us to screen capture(videos) on the switch version.
