Your home base in Rend is important; defending it is one of the central parts of the game, after all. However, the structure of the game meant that you probably didn’t build your faction’s main base, and quite possibly didn’t do a whole lot to make it feel like your own. That’s why the team is changing up how base-building works in the game, starting by giving players seeds to drop where they will to build their desired structures.
Building is also faster now; rather than having to construct individual pieces, players just select the material type and structure and then automatically put the walls and such together whilst building a structure. The seeds are there to prevent having a landscape littered with half-built structures, although the discussion is still ongoing about how players can get a second seed after the first. Read through the full development diary to see how you’ll have more options to make your own keeps throughout the game world, and then take a peek at our lengthy conversation with the team on the state of the game last month.
