That being said, MOST people are probably going to want to wait before they purchase Legacy. The game runs pretty rough for what looks like a game out of 2008, visually and mechanically. You will CONSTANTLY be compiling shaders for some reason, most games will load everything on launch but in this game you'll wind up loading shaders before and after every map for some reason. TTK and class balance is a nightmare, I think every class has a stun but not all stuns are built equally so you see classes like warrior and rogue just shred you before your stun wears off. I wouldn't really knock points for this since they'll obviously tweak things as they go, but it makes the game pretty miserable to play at the moment if you don't like playing one of those classes.

I like the aesthetic and the gameplay, I like that they carried over a lot of good systems from existing extraction games like the lodge (hideout), vendors, reputation and crafting. Being helmed by experienced ex-blizzard devs that worked on WoW, I have a lot more faith that this game will eventually become great than I do some of the existing games in the genre that are run by inexperienced goons that stumbled onto a successful game they don't know how to manage by sheer dumb luck.

It's pretty bare bones at the moment but the game has a bright future ahead of it if it keeps up the momentum and the devs stick to their vision and roadmap. Maybe don't buy it right away but definitely wishlist it and keep an eye on it if you're a fan of extraction games.

[h1]This game has a good foundation for a fantasy extraction looter and I'm excited to see where it goes on its way out of early access.[/h1] That being said, MOST people are probably going to want to wait before they purchase Legacy.
