I guess my progression might be a bit unusual in that I did:
- got to sacrament
- went and did 1st darak
- tried to do sewers and was low level and redirected to nameless pass
- finished nameless pass
- went back to sewers to do darak (level 13)
- New patch showed up and suddenly I can’t go easily run around to get healing items to make the boss that suddenly got way more health a bit easier to deal with because both areas are scaled to “dangerous/deadly”
From the patch notes it seems like I may have caused the whole game to scale to level 20 because I completed nameless pass even though I haven’t completed rats and raiders? I’m not sure because the changes stated don’t directly say anything about sewers scaling but it definitely changed. I had it at moderate/safe while I was completing the area. Is this is an oversight, or are the changes to area scaling supposed to heavily discourage doing nameless pass before the sewers? Or am I expected to have run around re-killing stuff a lot more than I have? I know that’s what people expect out of arpgs sometimes but I don’t really play games that way if I don’t have to.
