Fellowship

This game really scratches that WoW itch for folks who can't invest the time needed into playing a full-on MMORPG with all the timesinks that involves. My only real criticism would be that you play as heroes, rather than making your own character and picking the class. You hop in and out easily enough doing short dungeon runs, though it would be nice if they'd add raids or longer-form content as well. I also think we could benefit from just a bit of ingame lore (i.e. loading screen text) since, as things stand, you just get thrown into dungeons with absolutely no narrative context. Dungeons also lack setpieces or scripted events, meaning you don't get anything as iconic as, say, the temple top in Zul'Farrak back on WoW. A lot of other reviews here mention the toxicity of the playerbase... to be honest, I haven't encountered that yet (though I am only on the first of the timed tiers now, Adept); yes, people will leave your group if you really fluff up and make certain you won't beat the time limit but, if you stick to your lane and learn the dungeons first and, if you do mess up, just go back and work on your gearing, it's not that bad. Nobody's been rude to me or actively cussed me out, it just happens sometimes that people will drop and leave if they think things are going badly. Given that a dungeon only takes about ten minutes, it's not the end of the world.

Personally, as a fan of rapiers, I’d love to see a new character wielding a rapier—or better yet, two, like a Duelist-Gladiator. I think that would be really cool and would make a little dream of mine come true. Otherwise, the game concept is fantastic; I’ve never liked having to replay the story in *Path of Exile* or level up a new character in *WoW*—here, you just jump in, wait for the matchmaking, and play!

S3 and "odd comp" feature in particular is awesome Huge potential in this game i see Just try it)

Excellent take on the team-based dungeon grind sub-genre. Fellowship compresses the fundamental elements around repeatedly running dungeons to improve one's own performance and equipment into an easily digestible loop without the time sinks in between. The game employs a "dungeon finder" mechanic to accelerate the rate at which one is able to play dungeons. Naturally, this chips away at the social interaction in-game, but without this tech, the game would slow down it's core gameplay idea too much. And since the community uses Discord to organize groups after a certain level - which is necessary due to the rising difficulty - the dungeon finder is virtually a non issue, if one develops the ambition and drive to push past a certain entry-level difficulty. The rising difficulty does, however, also mean that the game highly encourages a permanent team of four, which constantly plays together and learns to interact like a well-oiled machine. There is a certain soft-ceiling one can reach with purely random teams. During early access, there are and will be balancing issues between classes/heroes - after all, its a work in progress. Sometimes this hero might be the undisputable best at a job, next patch it will be a different one. The vastly different playstyles and mechanics between heroes (which is a large fun factor), however, outshines - personally, for me - the need to pick the "best" hero. What's there in the game - right now during EA season 3 - is already amazing. The plans for the future, even if the roadmap is still very dynamic, sound extremely promising and exciting. 5/5 recommend
