All Level 25+ Content Is Now Scaled For Player Power Up To 31

[Samhayne]

With the release of the Battle for Nordr today, some players have commented that older content "feels harder" for level 25 and 26 characters. It is. Let me explain.

If you were level 26 running the Hauntlet yesterday, maybe you could have tanked through it and not really been challenged or needed to use much in the way of potions. Today, you might find that same content a bit more challenging at level 26. This is because the monster auto scaling against player level has been rebalanced for 31 as the new cap. If you want to run the Hauntlet like that, you'll need to level up to 31 and get the best gear (like you were at 26) and then the Hauntlet will probably feel like it did before.

TL: DR version - go level up!
