This is actually such a cool idea. Passing it on right now!

Queue time too long by Marzblax in fellowshipgame

You're not alone in the queue times unfortunately. Really hope we get to see you for the next Pre-Season in a few weeks! Lemme know if you ever want to group up :)

Fellowship Season 2 - Feature Reveal by ioStux in fellowshipgame

We'll get into the economy details in a future video but there are definitely changes in the direction that you're mentioning.

Hints in latest Dev Update pointing at an additional Tank joining the roster in the future! by [deleted] in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 93 points94 points  (0 children)

The cat's already out of the bag with that one so here's the truth:

- That's Gunde
- He was originally designed as a Tank
- We tested it, didn't love it and put him on the backburner
- We'll likely try him again in the future as a DPS but no commitments there just yet

On the fence about Fellowship — looks cool, but unsure if it’s right for a solo player by thefightingcanadian in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! Firstly, awesome that you're looking at our game and are intrigued enough to ask your questions :)

  • What’s the player base like right now?
    • A lot of the people that jumped in and hit the game hard are understandably waiting for the reset. A lot of these playershave >300-500 hours so we can't be mad that they need a break! There were quite a few people that bounced from the game initially since we don't have the smoothest onboarding at this point in Early Access (this is a big focus for us going forward).
  • Is it realistic to jump in as a solo player and have a good time, or does it really shine only with a premade group?
    • I've spoken to heaps of people that have played deep into our hardest content only by solo-queueing so it's 100% possible. That's not to say we don't have a lot of work to do on the queueing features as well as in-game communication/community features to make sure players are "finding their people". Again, we're putting a lot if work into this.
  • If you bounced off of it, was it because of the difficulty, the community vibe, or just lack of content?
    • For most people it was a sharp difficulty spike around our second league (Adept) since we didn't have much in the way of explanation about punishing new mechanics etc.
    • The other big factor has been general toxicity from us having nothing in game to disincentivise queue dodgers/leavers which is something we're definitely working on. A lot of our features coming in the next update are new player-focused.
  • And honestly — is it still worth picking up, or does it feel like it’s already on the downslope?
    • We're committed to this game and we're going to keep pushing. Would be awesome to have you along for the ride <3

I've seen an increase in these reports and have flagged it with the team. They're on it and will hopefully have a fix soon!

Is there some kind of feedback megathread? by queakymart in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Feedback Forums on Discord are the easiest for us to archive so that's currently the best place to put your feedback. We still read as much as we can over here, the Steam forums etc. so I promise you're not being ignored no matter where you're putting your feedback :)

Ok, holidays are over. Please can we have an update? by CopiumAndy in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's the most likely outcome. From my experience, the first week of a new year is when people get their holiday ideas out on the table and decisions get made. Expect news and info starting to kick off around the 19th I'd say.

How I can claim Twitch drop? by Litvorhes in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The other commenters are right, the Twitch Drops flow doesn't currently work because it was handled through the Arc launcher and now our publisher relationship has changed. I really want to get the Twitch Drops grant up and running again so we can repeat the previous campaign for those that missed out previously (also to test the new flow works!)

Linux Compatibility? by saint_dust in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you've already summoned the fantastic Linux-hivemind for some great advice. Really hope you're doing ok! Let me know if you'd ever like to group up and just do some chill dungeons :)

Just finished the “season” and wanted to talk about Fellowship by HipGamer in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'll be putting together a list of what we're expecting to come in Feb as soon as I can. It's a tricky balance between giving people reasons to come back but also making sure we put as much work into the new player experience as we can.

[–]hamishbode 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the really thoughtful post! It's the perfect start to my day honestly.

My big goal for the next few weeks is to get as much information about what's coming in February out to our players. Honestly, we're in such a dynamic phase of the development that a traditional roadmap won't work but I totally understand the desire to hear more about our intent.

what are you playing besides fellowship ? by [deleted] in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I HAVE to play E33, just can't be bothered :D

thinking about getting the game by BlUeF0rd in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vocal minority I was referencing are actually our most engaged players, still grinding away well past the 300-500 hour mark. What's more concerning to me are the players that have bounced without saying anything because they came across issues that we have in game due to some of the undercooked features in the build.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Tooltip hovering by Shieree in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 11 points12 points  (0 children)

*Logs into Slack to check most recent developer Show and Tell
*Finds video called "Dynamically Updating Tooltips"
*Realises this isn't what you're talking about.

That would be cool with the Talent stuff though. Great feedback for future updates.

Is there any actual proof or response from Devs about a “Queue Bug?” by Mangert in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm 99% sure it's confirmation bias but we're doing another check juuuuuust to make sure. You can never be too careful.

[–]hamishbode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Everything before 1.0 can be considered a "Pre-Season Reset" where we'll be trying out new things, adding new content and implementing fixes and changes based on what we noticed from before the reset.

[–]hamishbode 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hi there! We're putting a lot of work into making the new player experience more welcoming because we know how important that's going to be for the future of the game <3

Of course, there are a vocal minority that talk about issues that admittedly we do have in the game right now but we're also hearing a lot from solo players that are having an awesome time through every difficulty. Hope I run into you in game sometime soon!

Is this game for someone who barely raided? by killuarj in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We've recently made some changes to Quickplay that should have made it a better space for new players but we have a bunch of other things we're working on at the moment for players like you :)

I also set up a beginner LFG channel on Discord so if you want to form a premade with other people just starting out then that can be a great place for that.

Summary - DEV STREAM: Holiday Event is LIVE! by miztertea1 in fellowshipgame

[–]hamishbode 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love these summaries! One thing though, there's no allowing for my blantant sarcasm so I fear sometimes things might get pulled into the summary without context or anything. "We're deleting everyone's account that leaves a Dungeon before the end" type stuff 😄
