Rend on Steam
http://store.steampowered.com/app/547860/

Shameless rip from Steam posted:

Choose your side in this faction-based survival game, pitting groups of players against each other amid hordes of horrific demons in an ongoing epic war. Explore a mysterious and unforgiving world as you race against the clock to achieve victory before you are wiped from existence!

Rend is yet another EA Survival game, but this time they are calling it an MMORPG. It's from a studio founded by ex-Blizzard devs from Vanilla WoW days, so you know it will be endlessly and needlessly grindy. This article from PC Gamer gives a better breakdown that I could.

About This Game

Choose your side in this faction-based survival game, pitting groups of players against each other amid hordes of horrific demons in an ongoing epic war. Explore a mysterious and unforgiving world in search of resources and powerful artifacts as you race against the clock to achieve the glory of victory before you are wiped from existence. Carve a unique niche for yourself with RPG-like talent and skill systems, allowing you to tailor your character to any play style. Expand your technology and knowledge with your faction to unlock new heights of power to wield against your foes. Defend your base against an ever increasing onslaught form the unyielding armies of the Lost, and from enemy player factions. Survival is only the first step, as there can only be one victor. Will you be lost and forgotten, or will you emerge as champions?

Three Way Faction Warfare
Engage in a struggle for dominance between three factions: Order, Conclave, and Revenant. You will not survive this war alone, and your faction will be your home in the world of Rend. Together you will build a stronghold to withstand enemy forces and protect your valuable resources and buildings. Only one faction can win this race toward victory, but all may lose.
Play Your Way
Take advantage of deep and engaging talent and skill systems to fully customize your character. Your character will end up with a personalized set of capabilities tailored specifically for you. Find what you love to do and be rewarded for it, no matter your play style.

Defend Your Base
The world is a hostile place, and you will be called upon to defend what is yours. Your home will be protected much of the time, but when the Time of Reckoning strikes, you will be open for attack from the armies of the Lost Ones. Enemy factions may also strike while you are vulnerable, so your guard can never be let down. Just remember, while your base is unprotected, your enemies are also ripe for plunder.
Explore, Craft, and Research
You and your allies will venture forth to explore and collect resource from the world and its dangerous inhabitants. Upgrade your faction's technology in many different directions as you go, giving you the ability to craft more and more powerful weapons and armor. Uncover the secrets of the spirit world to bind vanquished creatures to you as mountable companions, and unlock powerful magics to bolster your abilities.

Conquer Your Enemies
Hiding deep within the frozen hellscape of the Eternal Wastelands lie the keys to victory. Long sealed tombs contain powerful artifacts you can use to turn the tide of war to your favor. You must gather your allies and prepare for a grueling trip through harsh and unforgiving environments, battling against the world's most fearsome denizens. Beware of waiting too long, as your coveted treasure may be stolen by enemy factions before you ever arrive. Of course, you can always take it from their cold, dead hands...



Groups
And as always, the autismo EA Survival addicts in BMW will be Day One'ing this terrible EA game: https://discord.gg/bp6dg7w

Pretty excited for this game from what I've seen. Liking the idea of a survival with a bit more structure and some pve elements.

Those fuckers better invite me to the pre alpha.

It at least has a fairly different mechanic re: the tower defense-esque stuff, but can it really be much worse than Conan Exiles?

Also, Wildstar was fun and good until end game then it was bad and boring.

The funny thing is there are so many failed MMOs/Survival games that I can't even remember which one Wildstar was.

The one which thought attunements in vanilla WoW were good. Needlessly grindy garbage from rosy eyed idiots to rosy eyed idiots, see vanilla WoW developers.
