Fellowship News

[p]As part of our rollout of changes, we need to make another small adjustment to the servers, requiring a very short maintenance period at 4:30 PM (Sweden Time). [/p][p]The downtime should be small, requiring just some adjustments to the server, with no new patch/adjustments on the client side. This is part of our ongoing work towards improving the server experience.[/p]

[p]Our most recent patch has been depolyed and we've just brought the servers back up. We can't wait to hear what you think about the fixes, additions and changes to Tanks (Helena got some huge buffs specifically).

Thanks again for sticking with us as we continute to improve the experience in Fellowship. Now that the servers are back up, we're continuing to fix the pesky, specific service that's giving us an issue that we're so close to resolving. We're cautiously optimistic that solving this will allow us to scale up and bring queue times down.

Thanks again from all of us at Chief Rebel!

[h3]SERVER UPDATE - OCTOBER 20, 2025 @ 3:30 PM PT[/h3][p][/p][p]Fellows! We wanted to give you a quick update on what’s going on behind the scenes with the servers.

First, the good news is: we've been making some solid progress on the overall server issues, and our team continues to work hard to get everything fully stable! The team has been working day in and day out since launch to make server fixes, and have made some good progress. We really appreciate your all's patience and support over the past few days -- as we've shared before, we've been moving quickly to get servers to where they should be. [/p][p]That said, you may experience longer than expected queues as we've currently set a limit on our servers to help keep the game running as smoothly as possible. We know it’s not ideal, and we really appreciate your patience while we continue to work on server improvements in the backend. One of the more stubborn problems we’ve been tackling is tied to a specific service we recently identified. It’s been causing a few of the hiccups you've seen, including queues, and while we’ve been digging into it over the past couple of days, we're aiming to make much bigger progress starting tomorrow.[/p][p]Thanks so much again for sticking with us -- more updates soon!
