Custom Matches
With this update comes Custom Matches, allowing players to create their own matches with a customized ruleset and then face off against their chosen opponents:
- Form the Teams – Use the Party System to form two teams of up to 6 players each.
- Host the Game – One team’s party leader creates the match, customizes the settings to their liking and selects their roles, once they’re done, a join code will be generated to pass to their competitor’s party leader. Game settings include:
- Mode Selection
- Map Selection
- Score Limit
- Quaffle Score Value
- Snitch Score Value
- Snitch Fill Rate
- AI Difficulty
- Allow Bot Fill (Pro Quidditch only)
- Join the Game – The other team will join the match by using the join code provided and selecting the roles they wish to play.
- Earn Rewards – Players will earn both Career and Challenge progression while playing in Custom Matches.
Map Changes
- Added Weasley’s Burrow (Snow) to Exhibition and Custom Match modes.
- Added a new Hogwarts map variant, Hogwarts (Legacy), to Matchmaking, Exhibition and Custom Match modes.
Gameplay Changes
- The Chaser’s “Tackling” skill tree has been reorganized and rebalanced to focus on tackle radius increases and less on tackle damage. By default, a Chaser will not be able to inflict damage when tackling an opponent, by utilizing the skill tree they can increase this to 1 point of damage (with 4 skill points invested).
- 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.
- The impact of a Beater hitting the Quaffle with either a Bludger or a tackle has been increased.
- Added Ireland and Bulgaria as selectable teams in Exhibition matches.
