Fellowship

Welcome to the Campfire Checkpoint! Hello my Fellows,We’re back with another Campfire Checkpoint following our latest Fellowship Roundtable.This time I was joined by Game Designer Will to talk through our latest patch, some of the reasoning behind the changes, a first look at Multi-Hero Queuing, and a huge stack of questions submitted by the community. We got through all of the ones we had selected but it definitely wasn’t a short stream. I’ve got a summary for you below for those that prefer the written word.As we continue working towards Fellowship 1.0, a lot of the team’s attention is now focused on larger improvements to the overall player experience. That doesn’t mean we want to sit on changes that can make the game better right now, so let’s start with the latest patch! If you missed the stream, you can catch it here: REFLECTIONS ON THE PATCHQUALITY OF LIFEA big focus for the team recently has been improving the overall experience of simply playing Fellowship.Most of the team are now working on larger pieces of work for 1.0, but there are still changes we can make along the way that we don’t want to hold back unnecessarily.That includes smaller Quality of Life improvements, c

A Note on This PatchThis patch we’re introducing some Quality of Life changes, bugfixes and buffs. For balance changes, the intention going forward is to keep looking at the Hero feedback threads we have set up in the ‘Dev Discussion’ area of Discord, and see what we can implement over time while working on 1.0. We are looking at changes to abilities, talents, and legendaries regarding the feedback of heroes and will also open up for more discussion regarding talents and legendaries in the current threads, to see what we can change to make the existing ones more interesting. While there is a lot we would like to do, our focus is split between upkeep and new work, so we are likely to act on the feedback that best aligns with our goals for 1.0 For the Quality of Life changes, we’ve talked with the community regarding what triggers a lot of abandoned games and have made the decision to drop the downgrading of loot for dungeons that go over time. Going overtime already limits progression and we don’t want to continue double-punishing players and encouraging more players to quit. Our hope is that we have more players finishing the dungeon they are overtimed on as the loot provides a ‘si

Welcome to the Campfire Checkpoint!Hello my Fellows,As you know, the team are hard at work on our push towards Fellowship 1.0 and we’re stoked that you’re on board for the ride; the feedback we’ve been getting is already helping us to contextualise changes, fixes and updates so thanks for that. That’s going to be a bit of theme for today so let’s talk about feedback. ADDITIONS TO OUR FEEDBACK FLOW We want to empower the Developers at Chief Rebel to create their own threads on Discord for specific feedback they need from you in this next phase. This idea came from an attempt to initiate discussion in a recent thread on Discord that was met with both fantastic feedback as well as some skepticism (fair enough!). We know that it’s frustrating to have common feedback yet to be addressed and this specific thread was a bit misplaced in the context of everything. What we want to do, rather than being apprehensive of getting feedback, is commit to even more transparency. While a lot of feedback exists in different threads and has been talked about in general discusison, our team have specific questions or hypotheticals they want to hear from the players about. Rather than hope the topic com

Welcome to the Campfire Checkpoint! We’re back with another Campfire Checkpoint, bringing together some of the biggest topics from our latest Fellowship Roundtable. If you missed the stream, aren’t able to check out the VOD or just prefer written formats, check out all the information below! For this Roundtable, I was joined by Game Designers Will and Ambjörn to talk through our latest patch, some of the thinking behind the changes, and what we’re currently exploring as we continue working towards Fellowship 1.0.We also spent a big chunk of the stream answering questions from Discord and Twitch, covering everything from matchmaking and crafting to Pinnacle Dungeons, server stability, seasonal structure and what the team is looking at next. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of questions and some of them just not having anything we could add to, we weren’t able to address every question that the community had. Since we’re aiming to do these streams more frequently, we’ll have more opportunities for all of you to throw your voice into the mix. We’ll be targeting another Roundtable in about 3 weeks and are excited to share our progress and continue to give you insight into how the
