Patch Notes 22/05/2024

Date: 22 May 2024 Type: Live changelog Original notes: Read the forum post

All T2 Influence rewards have been analyzed and upgraded, and balanced across all races.
Quest content has been roughly equalized across all races. Previously the Elf chapters had roughly 20-24 quests per chapter, while the other races had between 8 and 12 per chapter. The other races have had their quest storyline expanded, and new quests have been added. The questing experience in all 6 races should be roughly equal in content.
As part of the Quest Rework, but also dipping into the Tier 2 Armor Rework, the Tracker Set has been given a 4th piece available from Dwarf/Greenskin Chapter 8. Sorry Shaman and Rune Priest players, but it seems a bounty's been put out on your heads.
The Chaos influence areas have been fixed for Chapter 6, Chapter 7, and Chapter 9. These chapter hubs will now properly display the influence for their chapter.
The Hidden Quests (including the next steps to the Tier 1 Explorer's Set) are still pending.
Tier 2 Armor rebalancing and expanding the sets to be 4 piece sets (a continuation from the T1 rework that increased those sets from 2 pieces to 3 pieces).
Some old content brought back to life with purpose in the Tier 2 bracket. More on this in the near future.

Hotfix 30/08/2024

Date: 30 August 2024 Type: Live changelog Original notes: Read the forum post

Weekend Warfront: The Struggle of Nordenwatch.

September

Patch Notes 04/09/2024

Date: 4 September 2024 Type: Live changelog Original notes: Read the forum post

This set now grants the Vanquisher Ward, which was already more in line with the item level for the pieces. The Item level has also gone up slightly to align with the Ch. 22 increase in difficulty and mechanics.
This set had a Renown requirement previously, but that doesn’t follow our pattern of not requiring Renown for PvE focused sets. Once updated, this set will no longer require any Renown to wear.
We’ve increased the overall item level of this set up closer to Vanquisher, which means that across the board, almost all pieces are seeing an increase in stats and armor granted. Many of these pieces will also grant Initiative.
In some cases, we’ve had to make very small reductions to some stats to balance the pieces properly. We’ve also kept the existing unique stats (Armor Pen, Reduction, Power, Range, etc) instead of removing them, to keep this set as close as possible to the way it was, with only minor reductions where needed.
A cape, unique in that it grants half Armor and half Resistances, is being added to the set. This cape also includes a Talisman slot. These capes are brand new designs and were created by the artists on the RoR Team! You can find a quest to acquire these capes at the Chapter 22 Rally Masters.
A belt is also being added to bring this up to a full 7-piece set.
Equipping a full 7-piece set of Onslaught Gear will now grant an ability that players can activate to benefit their party or nearby allies. These vary between classes, and some will be more useful than others in different situations. As an example, the Tank 7-piece bonus is a 4 second version of "Leading the Charge", which was previously only found on the Tank's Sovereign set.
High Elf / Dark Elf: Helmet (Gold Bag) + Boots (Purple Bag or Gold Bag).

If a keep is claimed the guild name will now be shown in the objectives tracker.
Door Hit Points upgrade is now available for claimed keeps.
Keep can now fully reset after capture if defenders can hold the keep for 20 minutes and then return a supply box to the keep (Warcamp does not work).
Tier 2 keep lords have been reworked to bring more variety and challenge to the battlefield. Instead of being solely tanks, keep lords will now feature a mix of ranged DPS (rdps), melee DPS (mdps), and tanks, each equipped with new flavour abilities to spice up the encounters and create a more dynamic fight for attackers.
Each Tier 2 keep lord now comes with a new set of NPC guards, featuring a variety of archetypes that further add to the diversity of the battles.
As a side note: Tier 3 and Tier 4 keep lords will undergo similar reworks in upcoming patches, continuing the effort to diversify and enhance the keep siege experience.
The name of the guild who has claimed the Keep will appear under the names of guards and other NPCs in the Keep.
You can now also claim the Keep for your guild by interacting with the base of the standards on the top floor of a Keep.
