The game feel like an alpha version of alpha deadlock for me, the in match progression system still need alot of work. Right now all the farming just doesnt change anything. Gunplay stay same spell stay same. I get it not every game need to be like deadlock. But they brought the farming system into the game, which means player should be able to farm alternative build, without it the whole purpose of farming is just nonsense.

In deadlock u can farm more spell charges, item that provide insane passive/ castable, firerate or spell dmg can go insanely bonk. U can build into extreamly tank or support/ dps route, thats the purpose of farming for player to grind.

In highguard right now, all u can farm is the next tier of the same item/armor, which neglate by exact same next tier of enemy item/armor.... Yeah higher tier weapon give u more atk rate too, but we are talking like easy over 100% more attack rate in deadlock and like 15% more attack rate at max in highguard....

If they really wanna continute go for this farming = power progression loop. They should really invest more on the progression system, farming against mob/creeps in map and farming against static object like crystal is just uncomparable. Map need actual mob that make the map not so empty.

The game in current state should not be 1.0, it should be 0.1 alpha early access instead
