Just like to leave some feedback on this as I don't think I have yet. The "new player experience" seems really good so far, having just played from level 3 to nearly 6.
The bandits in Sundren valley are no longer as ridiculously deadly, the sewers under Sundren city are much easier, I was able to solo with a fresh level 3 with Con 6 (yes folks, that means a whopping 6hp). Saw a lot of dead bodies but guess its noobs underestimating enemies/not using doorways etc to negate enemy numbers ><
Sharahan hills was likewise ok to solo as long as you are careful and don't let things mob you. The Spittle caves were too tough to solo at level 3 (as they should be), so I had to get help.
Viridale is again a slight step up, I was able to kill one or two at level 4 but the blues are more or less too tough, and I needed a party to clear the whole area.
A party of four 5th-7th level chars was able to survive and get decent (64-128 per kill) XP against Ogres, though at some risk.
The new items are neat. Useful potions and gear drops much more often than before, making you feel that you are getting some reward for your efforts. Loving it so far!
The only other thing I can add is that for higher levels the purple version of the Glacial Drake is a cool addition, shame it drops less treasure than the weaker baby Drake though!
