Early Access Patch 2[ | ]
Outcast System[ | ]
- The Outcast System is designed to remove bad actors who are trying to destroy their own faction.
- Faction elders may initiate a two-minute interface popup vote to label a faction member as an outcast. If a successful vote is achieved (60% of online faction members and a scaling minimum vote count by reputation level), the faction member becomes an outcast and loses their faction representation (tattoo color) and most faction base permissions. Outcasts may still deposit research, spirits, and building upgrade materials. Attacking outcasts or their structures does not incur a faction reputation penalty.
- Outcasts are queue-vulnerable meaning that if their faction is at capacity (20 players) and another player queues up, the outcast will be kicked from the server. Newly branded outcasts will be immediately kicked if there's a queue.
- Outcast status lasts for 24 hours on the first successful vote, 72 hours on the second successful vote, and is permanent on the third successful vote. An outcast player can redeem themselves and remove their outcast status by earning 10,000 faction reputation.
- Outcasts may only join the server they are outcast from if it doesn’t have a queue.
- Outcast status carries over between sagas but does not carry over between servers.
- The Outcast System will continue to be improved per player feedback and is just one aspect of our ongoing efforts to give players more control over their faction communities in Rend.
General[ | ]
- Reduced minimum server age for the Reckoning to 36 hours.
- Updated saga conclusion bonus to 75% of earned Ascension Points and Victory Bonus to 25% of earned Ascension Points (for a total of 100% bonus for winners).
- Players can now be muted or reported by right-clicking on their names in the faction or recent tabs of the social pane.
- Reports can now be made against offline players.
- Added server setting RareResourceHarvestMultiplier which is used to scale the drop chances of additive loot.
- Added server setting StackCountScalar to scale the stack count of items which have a max stack count greater than 1.
Factions[ | ]
- Attacking friendly mounts now incurs a faction reputation penalty
- Increased the faction reputation penalty for killing an allied player to 200 (up from 50).
- The Terrible faction reputation rank has been split into three new negative faction reputation ranks with scaling combat penalties and loss of faction privileges.
* Miscreant (-50 Faction Reputation) * Loses Faction Base Interaction Privileges. * -34% Damage Against Players * Coward (-400 Faction Reputation) * Loses Faction Chat Privileges * -66% Damage Against Players * +50% Damage Received from Players *Traitor (-1000 Faction Reputation) * -90% Damage Against Players * +100% Damage Received from Players
- Killing a faction member with Miscreant or lower reputation does not incur a reputation penalty.
- Renamed faction reputation rank Warlord to Chieftain (to prevent confusion with the Warlord archetype).
- Increased Elder Chest storage space:
* Small Elder Chest: Increased container storage from 7 to 14. * Medium Elder Chest: Increased container storage from 14 to 24. * Large Elder Chest: Increased container storage from 24 to 36.
- Removed research requirement of the personal stash to allow for early secured items.
- Renamed unsecure containers (no reputation rank required) as “Unlocked”.
- Added tooltips to containers to better explain reputation locked and unlocked concepts.
- Added faction notification when a player loots a friendly corpse.
* If the corpse is a Miscreant, Coward, Traitor, or Outcast, then there is no faction notification. * If the corpse is of a fellow clan member, then there is no faction notification.
- Looting a friendly corpse now deducts 500 faction reputation.
- If the corpse is a Miscreant, Coward, Traitor, or Outcast, then there is no faction reputation penalty.
- If the corpse is of a fellow clan member, then there is no faction reputation penalty.
- Added scaling faction reputation requirements to Armor and Weapon Racks.
- Players that have been offline for longer than two days lose Elder status until they log back on.
- Players may now damage their own structures without incurring a faction reputation penalty.
Talent and Perk Balance[ | ]
We've made a number of adjustments to address the burst damage potential of players against other players. These adjustments are a quick fix to mitigate the problem and some of the offending perks, talents, or abilities may be redesigned with future patches.

Early Access Patch 2.1[ | ]
We’ve been closely monitoring player feedback and gameplay over the past week and are introducing a number of balance changes as a result in Patch 2.1.

- Added a confirmation dialog when outcasting a player: "Are you sure you wish to outcast PLAYERNAME?".
