I just completed the current campaign on Path of the unspoken. I have some feedback regarding it.
I think the enemy balance is in a pretty good place. But the zone scaling and bonus xp kinda trivializes this realm tier. because of the XP bonus and previous zone scaling adjustments I very quickly outleveled pretty much everything; and smashed through everything. Even though I was playing with pretty suboptimal gear.
Removing the XP bonus, and making the zones scale more aggressively should fix it for the majority of it.
Especially the scaling in the beginning could be bumped up, I only encountered some resistance once I entered Marin woods.
Additionally the mode could use an option for additional death penalties I would prefer XP loss on death. Because even when I died multiple times in a row and my gear was yellow I was swimming in repair powders and the repair costs mean nothing. So making repair powders way more rare and bumping up the repair costs in this realm tier significantly would help a lot as well.
Because I never had to worry about anything in terms of money or resources. Thinking about this a general scarcity mode, would be really nice.
This realm tier was meant to challenge players currently it kind of fails to do that, but I think it can be easily fixed by tweaking certain numbers which wouldn’t be too much effort.
