Fellowship

Just dungeons, and gear. Needs a bigger player base, and a punishment mechanic for people who leave or reject que.

Game used to be good when it first launched to EA. It offered months of progression to build your character stronger and climb harder dungeons. Unfortunately developers have terrible case of listening community too much, a community that finds every inconvenience a problem that must be nerfed. Instead of accepting concepts that in order that have lucky drops there also need to be equal amount of badluck, the playerbase have demanded badluckprotections and game feeds stash tab worth of legendary items in no time so no one feels left out. If you read forums you'll find threads like "I'm a single father and have 30 minutes a week to play, why shouldn't I be at same gear and ranks as someone who sinks hundred of hours to the game" and that's exactly what game have become to. Getting Bis gear takes barely a week at the start of season and after second week the playerbase is gone as there is no more character progression and the last 4 months of season game is unplayable due low numbers. In summary it have became like "taking lift to top of mountain and then pretending you conquered said mountain" For 4-5 months long season, there is only content for 2 weeks at the start of them and it's the players that demand to make it even less grindy and faster. The worst part is that there is no light in sight for this game as weekly notes often starts with "we heard your complaints and decided to make crafting materials more easily available"

Short review: This is a great game, for the reasons all the other reviews have pointed out. Do *not* buy this game unless you already have friends to play it with, however.

Ignore the negative reviews relating to season release issues/balance design, the devs are pretty locked in on resolving those issues and its an early access game with a smaller dev team so its to be expected that there will be SOME problems, and there are no other games of this type made by major companies that don't have them (looking at you blizzard). The game itself is quite good, class design feels very intricate without being too overbearing, there's plenty of room to min max your rotation and end game gearing, the dungeons are fun and have a lot of varied routing options depending on your composition/relics/cooldowns that you can sync up with friends, and late game content is adequately challenging even for advanced players, the game is very clearly made with love by people that care about and think deeply about the genre and have experience with playing raids/dungeons in other MMOs at a high level. Where the game lacks is mostly just in the nature of the genre, fellowship is ultimately a team based game where mistakes are highly punishing which means that solo q into random people is going to frequently result in a negative experience from people playing poorly or lacking coordination, this is strictly *unavoidable* and out of the control of the devs, they can do things to minimize it (changes like the routing assistant modifier which even blizzard adopted for mythic+ help some) but ultimately the devs can not remove it as an issue no matter what they do, if you enjoy this type of game it is fundamentally a part of the experience you will have to learn to either live with or find a group of friends to avoid the issue entirely. As for cons relating to the game beyond the inevitabilities of the genre, they get some things wrong sometimes with the seasons but it is ultimately, again, still an early access game and as such they haven't perfected their formula yet. If you don't want to play a product that while polished, is ultimately unfinished, then this isn't the game for you. Similarly to the previous paragraph, if you don't like MMO style combat with global cooldowns and the holy trinity of tank/dps/healer, if you don't like dealing with random people making mistakes while queueing as a solo player, if you don't like challenging grindy games where the reward is the experience of completing something challenging, or if you just don't want to invest your time into an early access product, then this game simply isn't for you and won't have an experience you are looking for, but if any of those things are points you can reasonably compromise on or accept then fellowship is a fairly fleshed out and enjoyable experience with at a MINIMUM dozens of hours of gameplay for you to enjoy and looks to be very promising for years to come content wise.

I've only played a little as of now buy I like the loop of dungeons and getting loot.

this game is honestly, just straight slop. dont waste your time.

If i had anything positive to say about this trash, it can cure insomnia, it's a real challenge to stay awake or not die from boredom after 30 minutes top, some people have no soul i get that but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this cashgrab is so unoriginal that every single aspect and bad Mechanic is stolen from other known rpgs and somehow make them even worse no one needs this, i think the people who made this hate themselves so much they made this as some sort of payback on the human race
