PATCH NOTES - FOR THE OCTOBER 30, 2025 PATCH
Fellowship Limited Event: The Haunting of Stronghold
(30th October - 13th November)
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.
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.
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.
Updated Buff Tracking - Part 1
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.
“Important Hero Buff”-bar
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.
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.
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.
Buff/Debuff “Growth Direction” setting added
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).
Active Ability Timer
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.
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.
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.
Sylvie’s [Life Petal]
Sylvie’s [Heartbloom]
Sylvie’s [Safe Haven]
Elarion’s [Starfall Volley]
Meiko’s [Twin Souls: Bulwark] (the Earth Sibling)
We are planning to add this feature to more abilities in the near future.

General Fixes
We have disabled Steam Profile pictures to prevent inappropriate images making their way in-game. The team is working on providing custom portrait pictures for greater personalisation in a future update.
Added additional information to AntiCheat to better identify false-positives.
Fixed an issue where players would get erratic positional correction if they dash with high ping.
Fixed an issue where swapping to Meiko from another hero would lead to parts of her combo point UI to be invisible.
Fixed an issue where Chicken auto-attacks were incorrectly listed in the Combat Log, they now appear as [Attack].
Fixed various spelling and translation typos.
Updated Elarion's camera offset for a better experience.

UI
HUD
NEW - Added an “Active Ability Timer” for abilities that are active with a duration, displaying the time left before they expire on the ability button as a yellow frame around it. Currently implemented for
Sylvie’s [Life Petal], [Heart Bloom], and [Safe Haven].
Elarion’s [Starfall Volley].
Meiko’s [Twin Souls: Bulwark].
More ability’s durations are planned to be added to this feature in the near future.
NEW - Added a “Important Hero Buffs”-bar. This bar is always enabled and can be moved, scaled, etc. through the UI Edit mode. The bar will only show hero specific buffs applied to you that are of high importance for better tracking of hero ability and talent procs, etc. This is an intermediate solution while we work on the fully customizable buff/debuff bars for a later update.
NEW - Added four grow directions to the buff/debuff elements on the HUD. Can now grow up, down, vertically-centered, and horizontally-centered.
We have updated the Death Recap window to show a more complete, scrollable history of the last damage events applied to you before dying. This first iteration does not display healing or absorb events - we are working to add those events in the near future.
Nameplates of Interrupt Marked/Focus Targets now show the threat color warnings (eg. "Almost bad threat" and "bad threat") when they are present. Previously, the interrupt marking color was always shown on marked targets, no matter the threat state.
Added UI Option to set the scale/width for the 'target-of-target' unit frame.
