Hogwarts Legacy Silences Ignatia Wildsmith Sneakily
In other news, a recent change in the latest update has caught players by surprise. Hogwarts Legacy’s latest patch fixes a lot of stuff, but a specific change was not mentioned in patch notes. However, players didn’t take time to figure it out. After the latest update, players have observed that Ignatia Wildsmith, the person renowned for creating Floo Powder, has had her lines reduced.
Floo Powder is the method used for fast travelling in the game and these are found at specific spots on the map. Every spot is located next to a bust of Ignatia Wildsmith’s face and she is famous for having lines boasting about her skills, every time the players used it. This change was not specified in the patch notes, but fast travel is such a frequently used system in the game, that players took no time to figure it out.
Furthermore, Chandler Wood, Avalanche Software’s Community Director tweeted out that this change was not mentioned in the patch notes. The change stated, “Reduced the frequency of Ignatia Wildsmith’s lines (a significant reduction), so while travel is definitely more convenient with Floo powder, you won’t have to hear about it constantly”.
Just confirmed an additional feature in this patch that didn’t make it into the patch notes:
