please change Revelio to a toggle. not a cast.

[SeaGoblin]

this game is literally a "cast revelio simulator" after 100 hours of playing and casting revelio every 10 seconds for the entire 100+ hours. i have to say its annoying and removes immersion.

on the bright side, my girlfriend says my finger that clicks "R" has improved significantly

This game probably isn't for you if trivial things like that annoy you.

[Fudge]

There's a mod to both silence revelio and make the effect last longer so you're not pressing it quite as much. I know how some people feel about mods but do yourself a favor, it helps a lot lol.

[SeaGoblin]

i mean i already 100% the game, but it just blows my mind that they forced millions of people to just spam press revelio the entire time they play for 60+ hours. it just seems wrong.

i dont know why people would want revelio silenced tho.... that beep when you cast it literally means there is a field page near you. thats kinda important

It's a spell you cast to reveal secrets. It would be idiotic to leave it on all the time.

Just because you don't mind doesn't mean that's a "trivial" thing not bothering anyone. This is a real game design flaw even if you don't care about exploring and completing the game at 100%, looting every chest and every single interactible item in the game. This also adds to the long list of what makes this game clearly overrated. The game is ok, fun at first then extremely repetitive with lots of things breaking immersion like the Revelio simulator issue. It could be way more bearable if you could cast it while moving and if it lasted longer.

It's also idiotic to not be able to cast it while moving! Just like on a broom or a mount for example? Proof that it's coded to be possible. I'd have understood if it was like that during the "tutorial" part of it, but after 10+ cast, it shouldn't make you stop your movement like it is right now. Terrible game design.

this is weird, i can cast revelio while running and moving and flying, just fine. heck casting it while flying is the only way to explore the world map. maybe you are just bugged?

but yea having the spell last less then 7 seconds forcing you to use it like 10 times per minute for 60 hours straight...is 100% a horrible game design. that guy saying its for seeing "secrets" is wrong on so many levels. its literally to know what items in the world are able to interact with and to know where to go on world map more than anything.

Nope, "that guy" was correct. Everything you mentioned are secrets that are only revealed with revelio.

That’s the reason you cast it like a maniac. I don’t care about 100% collectibles and I cast it once per few minutes.
Having the spell effects for prolonged time will be super ugly and annoying.

Revelios lore is that it's for secrets. But in the game it literally makes almost everything that you can interact with spells blue, just breakable stuff remain unaffected, like pots/crates. Everything else that you only interact with remains yellow, with few exceptions, like tapestry in school, has blue color, but you can't use spells on 'em, just shows that you should look at it.

Also it shows everything that you can see already on the map, or are you saying that the map also shows secrets?

[Supgad]

Revelio is definitely annoying. I'd have preferred an open world where things didn't glow and drag you to their location with the press of a button, so I was left to actually explore the world myself.

I have 3000+ games also, and while I do have some awards... You're right, there stunningly useless.

Still, I will spend a few of my 148,000+ points on you for laughs

[Izlude]

Its a bad idea to have it required to be spammed since then players spam it everywhere and often will miss npc dialogue since all they will hear is "REVELIO" followed by a ding sound. It even will overwrite subtitles so I have missed tons of dialogue of npcs chatting with each other.

[Just Chill]

I'm using a mod to have access to Felix Felicis.
And I've to say that this potion is quite useless.


It JUST shows the location of only collectible chests on the minimap.

In addition to that it would be far better if it had an "Revelio"-effect compareable to when casting it from the broom (stronger effect than casting it from the ground), which lasts also one day similar to revealing collectible chests on the minimap.


Waiting a day would remove the effect, if it gets too annoying to have a constant Revelio, but I guess that won't happen. :(
