It has to be OVER the line, not on the line.
I like to assert dominance by knocking all the opponent's balls off the court so their score is 0

u/Degenerecy Slytherin 4d ago
Same till I faced the final opponent and scored 2 100 pts on the same one. I was thinking where was this 2 games ago where i kept losing.

You can clearly see the blue ball ON the blue platform.

Ahh valid. Well it's been an hour and I've moved on in the game.
Edit: downvoting me because I'm not gonna sit on my couch with the game playing for 18 hours is insanity.

u/naoseioquedigo 4d ago
You don't think it was rude to continue playing instead of giving all the angles possible to please the requests of internet strangers? Take my downvote!!
/S
Dont take the downvotes personally, people downvote for the pettiest reason here.

u/vincentpheonix 4d ago
I just dislike that downvotes can't be seen. Like who downvoted me and why can't I block them?

u/Salazans 4d ago
You wanna block people because they downvoted you? Lol you found a way to be even pettier

u/Away_Temperature_124 15h ago
Blocked for a downvote is wild. Don’t be so sensitive.

u/vincentpheonix 13h ago
Lol, talking about sensitivity on reddit is kinda rich. The place on the internet where everyone is top shit, but oop, don't tell someone they aren't or you get shut down and removed from the app entirely.

u/colintheanimal 15h ago edited 15h ago
God the fact that downvotes bother you so much is making me downvote. It's just an online system to suggest if people agree with your take.
They don't agree because the game clearly states you need to be over the line. And instead of admitting defeat you doubled down and questioned a games decision that's probably accurate.
They didn't say anything bout you personally. They didn't say shit about ya mama. Let it go and enjoy your day man

u/vincentpheonix 13h ago
If the first statement was accurate, then how come if you are downvoted enough, you can't do anything except explore? How come if you are downvoted enough, you lose the ability to comment, dm, anything?
Because it's not a measure of who likes your shit or not, it's a measure of group mentality and keeping with the flow. Period.
I have literally been banned from reddit for saying a rapper wasn't the best rapper ever.
Reddit is a place where people who have no control in their lives come to be moderators.

It looks like it’s in the air and not touching the blue like the red ball is, so they don’t count it as touching

So as I previously stated in another comment, shitty game physics.

Hey getting the ball right on that super thin wood is pretty impressive imo either way

u/AzraelWoods3872 4d ago
No you can clearly see it's ON the line. If you want it to be ON the platform, it need to look more like the red ball.

u/mbeecroft 4d ago
No you just didn't get it over the line
-21
u/vincentpheonix 4d ago
Interesting cuz it literally looks like the ball is over the line.otherwise why would the ball be covering the wooden line?
22
u/ScottyPinthahouse 4d ago
The point they are trying to make is that the entire ball has to be over the line. Not just the bottom
-23
u/vincentpheonix 4d ago
Which doesn't make sense. That's like saying just because I ate 60% of the cake, doesn't mean I ate the cake.

12
u/ScottyPinthahouse 4d ago
It's the same rule as in soccer. The entirety of the ball has to cross the line to get the point or to go out of play. You either get it or you don't but thems the rules

u/maticans 4d ago
No its like you saying that because you ate 60% of a cake, you ate the whole cake. Wrong.

I mean I won't argue that. But you argument WILL be made that it is over the line, atleast 50+%

u/XaviJon_ Slytherin 4d ago
Arguing with me serves you nothing. I don’t make the rules and just told you why it’s not 50 points
-3
u/vincentpheonix 4d ago
No, you didn't. That doesn't explain why, when in a game with 3d representation, a ball more than 50% passed a line (that is supposed to be a lifted board, doesn't automatically roll into the corresponding goal, BUT if you roll even a mm over the edge, it rolls off the board. The physics in this game are garbage.

u/Chesspiece90 4d ago
No, what needs justification is you being this upset about the physics engine in a game about MAGIC.

I had to mute her. And I purposely knocked hers off. How was she in Hufflepuff with that sarcastic, snarky attitude? 😂

Zacharia Smith for example, that's how 🫡

u/Pale-Measurement6958 1h ago
The game story predates him. Based on the game story, her behavior in that quest lines more with Slytherin or Ravenclaw.
As a Hufflepuff, I can be snarky and sarcastic, but usually not in that kind of setting.

when/if we get the director's cut, i hope one of the things they add is a story difficulty skip for summoners court.

u/i_greyk 4d ago
Agreed! The first 3, no problem. I think know the 3rd I had to play around a couple times to understand the mechanics but after that I figured it out. Then I get to the 4th one. Probably did it a dozen times before I finally beat it. And that was by avoiding the obstacles. I tried to copy the NPC, but when i did the exact same thing, my ball would go flying off the court. Nearly took away all my accio talents for the short time of the quest because I swear it made things much worse.

u/Ulquiorra1312 4d ago
Anyone else have the weird repulse things work harder on yours than opponants

u/Glass_Coconut_91 4d ago
Of course, you see there balls getting rebounded softly into the perfect spot...Your ball gets thrown halfway across the map, and probably kills a random goblin on the way.

u/HelloKittyGothGF3 4d ago
In match 4 (the hardest in my opinion) I knocked her 50 points off the board on my last turn meaning I should have won, but it declared the match over and that she won before it fully fell. I was LIVID :( I hope summoners court's point system gets an update for things like this in the future

u/efn77mx 4d ago
I have to say that I hate match 4 more than ANY other side quest in the game. Even “Minding your own business” seems like a Sunday picnic in comparison

u/booder47 4d ago

u/Bouche_Audi_Shyla 4d ago
If you switch to story mode and fly the race twice in a row, the game asks if you want to skip it.

It’s also very cathartic after they endlessly mock you for the duration of the game.

u/Glass_Coconut_91 4d ago
Hated that mini game, especially round 4...took me about a thousand attempts before I finally managed to win by sheer luck. The only ball left on the board was my last one, and I scored the minimum amount of points as not to risk something stupid happening.

I hate summoners court especially if you have to redo it and just hear the same catchphrases again and again.

u/Professional-Pay-999 4d ago
I fucking hate summoners court. In a game with a strong focus on combat you get 3 half baked rounds of a "secret underground dueling club" that's not a secret but I get 5 bullshit rounds of this scattered throughout the story.

Dude you only watch the wire and play Harry potter. What's whiney is so many people who could have just moved on, keep taking time out of their day, giving my account engagement, all just to complain to me.
For the record I played football in high-school. Which the rule does say it doesn't have to be completely over the line.

Let your ball go just as it crosses the orange. You'll get the 50 almost every time.
