PATCH NOTES - FOR THE OCTOBER 30, 2025 PATCH
Fellowship Limited Event: The Haunting of Stronghold
(30th October - 13th November)
[p]During the week of our Early Access launch, our programmers and backend team worked tirelessly to stabilize servers, squash critical bugs, and smooth out the overall experience for everyone joining Fellowship.[/p][p]Meanwhile, deep in the art corner of the office, something was brewing. While new content was officially on hold during the stabilization period, the artists had... other ideas. What began as a lighthearted exercise to test and refine our cosmetic pipeline quickly turned into a full Halloween event.[/p][p]To show our appreciation for everyone who supported us through Fellowship’s first weeks, these limited Halloween cosmetics are earnable through in-game activities until November 13th.[/p][p][/p]Updated Buff Tracking - Part 1
[p]We have heard your feedback in regards to how buffs and debuffs are currently tracked in the game. We are working on a customizable buff/debuff tracking feature, however there is still some work left before we have it ready. While we continue developing this feature, we wanted to make some updates to address some of the most common issues with the current UI.[/p][p][/p][p]“Important Hero Buff”-bar[/p][p]We have added a new bar to the UI called “Important Hero Buffs” which will only track buffs that come from each hero’s abilities and talents. This bar can be moved around and scaled separately from the normal “Buff bar”. For now, the “Important Hero Buff”-bar will track a preset list of buffs that we have curated for each hero.[/p][p]All the buffs that are tracked on the “Important Hero Buffs”-bar have been filtered out from the normal Buff-bar to further help with de-cluttering buff tracking.[/p][p]The next step we are working on is to allow you to have more control over specific weapon trait buffs, gem procs, and other buffs as we continue improving this feature. Stay tuned for updates.[/p][p][/p][p]Buff/Debuff “Growth Direction” setting added[/p][p]As a part of this update to the buff/debuff tracking UI, we have also added “growth direction” as an option for all 3 bars (Buffs, Debuffs, Important Hero Buffs). Here you can choose if you would like the buffs to grow to the left, right, up, down - or from the center (vertically, or horizontally).[/p][p][/p][p]Active Ability Timer[/p][p]Finally, another feature we are adding to help with tracking is the “Active Ability Timer”, which will display a yellow frame around abilities that have an active duration to help players track how much longer that ability is active.[/p][p]An example is Sylvie’s Life Petal. Now, when you press Life Petal, the duration of the Life Petal is shown to you on the ability button so that you don’t have to look around on the ground to see if the flower is still up.[/p][p]In this build, we have added the Active Ability Timer to a few abilities that we received the most feedback on in regards to tracking their up time.[/p]- [p]Sylvie’s \[Life Petal][/p][/*]
