  • The Keeper’s “Kick Lunge” skill now reduces the lunge amount when you are far away from their goals – Keepers will travel the full lunge amount until they are around 40 meters away from their goal at which point the lunge amount tapers down to a minimum at 90 meters away.

December (V1.1.1) Update - 12/11/2024

Gameplay Balance/Tuning
  • Updated the Keeper's dive ability to prevent them from overshooting their intended goal and make sure the tuning takes into account the speed stats of the equipped broom.
  • Upped the default difficulty of backfill bots in Pro Quidditch to the maximum level.
  • Increased the respawn time for all roles to 10 seconds (up from 7 seconds).


Keeper Power Kick
  • There were some issues identified with the Keeper and their Power Kick skillpoint incorrectly applying the Power Kick to the Quaffle - For clarification, a Keeper should apply the Power Kick to a Quaffle when one of the following is true:
    • They are kicking the Quaffle back into play after being scored on (regardless of skillpoint assignment or charge level of the kick)
    • They have the Power Kick skillpoint equipped and kick a loose Quaffle with a perfectly charged kick.
    • They have the Power Kick skillpoint equipped and kick an opposing player with possession of the Quaffle with a perfectly charged kick.
  • With the above in mind, the following bugs have been fixed:
    • Fixed a bug that prevented a Keeper with the Power Kick skillpoint equipped from applying the power kick to a Quaffle that was held by an opposing Chaser at the time of the kick.
    • Fixed a bug that allowed a Keeper with the Power Kick skillpoint equipped to sometimes apply the power kick to a Quaffle they kicked from their own possession.
    • Fixed a bug that would cause the Keeper to kick the Quaffle to themselves when they had a teammate targeted.


General Bugfixing
  • Fixed various crashes.
  • Fixed a bug that enabled aim assist in Pro Quidditch mode.
  • Fixed a bug that applied the reduced Snitch Meter reduction on Bludger hit from Pro Quidditch to Casual Quidditch.
  • Fixed a bug that would apply a Copper rank to any player who managed to get above 10,000 SR
  • Fixed an issue causing the Postmatch experience gained to not be accurately reflected in the Season XP displayed on the Season Tab. HPQC-627
  • Fixed an issue that cause Postmatch scores to appear the same for both teams in Cup Modes.
  • Fixed an issue causing Keepers to overshoot the hoop. HPQC-612
