June 5th Legacy Transfer Update
DEFENDERS,
To help keep lines of communication opened and informed, we’re writing about our Legacy transfer tool that we previously talked about. Here’s an update, let’s get into it.
Well, we were going to do it today but wanted to test it more and make sure it was as great it could be. Then we planned on releasing it Monday, and then something happened today. Some pipes burst and flooded our entire office. This means our internal servers, internal networks, build PCs, and so much more took a nice bath. Luckily, we’re all working remote so no one was hurt.
We need to get our internal servers and build machines rebuilt and set up. As a result, our patching is a little up in the air. We hope to get the machines back up and the patch out to you all next week. We’ll keep you posted when it’s coming.
Once this patch goes live, we’re going to be offering players the opportunity to transfer over their Legacy progression, characters, and gear over to “Play”. The goal is to do right by our community, while also having everyone in the same area to Defend. Here’s how the tool works:
There are a few things to note:
The reason that we’re going to be disabling Legacy is to accomplish two goals. The first is to have players all playing in the same space together. The second is to ensure that we do not have to balance two versions of the game, as well as worry about any potential problems that come with that kind of work/balance.
We’re currently working on a big update coming down the road. We’ll have a bit more information out soon regarding that update. We’re giving our devs a moment to breathe post launch, and will be hitting the ground running. There’s a lot we’ve got planned, and as always, please throw any and all feedback you can into the in-game escape link (it might say bugs right now, but anything that bugs you can be submitted through there).

What is this Legacy Transfer Tool?
Once this patch goes live, we’re going to be offering players the opportunity to transfer over their Legacy progression, characters, and gear over to “Play”. The goal is to do right by our community, while also having everyone in the same area to Defend. Here’s how the tool works:
- Load up the game.
- “Legacy Transfer” button is now below “Legacy”
- Once you select this button you’re presented with the following info:
- Your current “Play” progression will be deleted.
- Your “Legacy” progression will be copied over. This includes:
- Heroes, Hero Level, and Progression.
- Gear will be balanced to it’s 1.0 version and your upgrades will be reset.
- Gold from your upgrades, up to a generous cap, will be refunded to you to reapply upgrades.
- Heroes, Hero Level, and Progression.
- After confirming the transfer, you will need to restart the game.
- Your profile will be copied to Play. You will no longer be able to access Legacy.
- Your current “Play” progression will be deleted.
There are a few things to note:
- Legacy and Legacy Transfer will become unavailable after 7 days.
- You are able to still play on Legacy, and any progression or items acquired on Legacy will be included up to the moment you transfer.
- Any players that do not have “Play” profiles at all (i.e. Early Access players who have not played since launch, or people solely playing on Legacy) will be automatically transferred over after the 7 days.
- For anyone with ANY “Play” progression, you will need to opt into the transfer. This means if you have started a character and just loaded into the tavern, you will need to opt in.
- The ability to use Discord to manually transfer is no longer available because our office flooded.
The reason that we’re going to be disabling Legacy is to accomplish two goals. The first is to have players all playing in the same space together. The second is to ensure that we do not have to balance two versions of the game, as well as worry about any potential problems that come with that kind of work/balance.
What’s Next?
We’re currently working on a big update coming down the road. We’ll have a bit more information out soon regarding that update. We’re giving our devs a moment to breathe post launch, and will be hitting the ground running.
