In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite there is an important change just one day after release. This makes it significantly easier for us German players at the launch here.
What has changed? The “Spell Energy,” that is the energy you need for spells, has been improved. The energy now drops more frequently from inns and other actions in the game, making it easier to have magical encounters.
This is important, because without this energy you cannot cast spells on the magical creatures.
Fans rejoice – wish fulfilled after just one day
This is what players demanded: Fans from the USA and the UK who can already play Wizards Unite had one main wish after just one day: They wanted more Spell Energy. In their eyes, there simply was not enough Spell Energy from inns and greenhouses.
What exactly has changed? After just one day, Niantic listened to the players’ wish and increased the drop rate of Spell Energy. Now there are 10 instead of 5 Spell Energy from daily tasks and an increased rate from inns and greenhouses.
Additionally, new players now start with 50 Spell Energy instead of just 25, as was previously the case.
The importance of Spell Energy: This feature is probably the most important feature in the game, because without Spell Energy, there are no magical encounters.
Players of Pokémon GO can compare it to Poké Balls. If you have no balls, you can’t catch Pokémon. If you have no Spell Energy in Wizards Unite, you can’t battle magical beings.
How are players reacting? The prompt change is well received. On the Facebook post from Niantic, there are over 100 mostly positive comments about the change:
- Tim S.: Awesome! That was my only problem with the game and you guys fixed it quickly! Thank you for listening to the feedback.
- Adam S.: This is great news! Thank you!
What does it mean for German players? That the change comes so early is only good for German fans. After all, we do not have to deal with these problems and we start with more Spell Energy, as especially there had an additional 25 Spell Energy added.
Are there any critical voices? Some players complain that there is still too little Spell Energy. Especially in rural areas, where there are few inns that provide this Spell Energy, it’s hard to get this important resource.
For example, there are calls for brewing potions that can give you energy, or for more ways to obtain Spell Energy.
So Niantic may change something about the feature, as it is essential for the game.
