Did they make act 1 harder again?

every league act 1 feels harder. mobs take longer to kill, deal more damage. do they just increase the difficulty every league without saying anything?

Seems the same for me.

Actually felt the same way, but I probably just suck.

nah they did something. i use the same class/skills/tree every league start and i deal less damage and take more damage than usual

went from asking if they did something to saying they did something. haha.

i already knew the answer, just wanted to see if others noticed it too

AN was buffed (or more like unnerfed) so that might be the reason.

No, act 1 isn't any harder for the most part. The blue pack changes can make some nightmares though, like swarms of arcane buffer enemies that stun the crap out of you.

If you don't play a strong league starter you're going for a slow, painful run believe me. I didn't want to spend too much time on the game last league so I tried to start with an Assassin, I struggled way too hard doing acts.
This time I chose a necromancer ... I'm doing acts with 1 hand only.

Act 1 too tough is such a zoomer mention. Anyone who just wants to party with fresh league players, isn't gonna mind ever that Act 1 gets tougher. If anything I'm sure parties find it more entertaining.

Now the guy rushing to maps, ignoring the league mechanic, ditching new to moderate players that fool may not like the lower acts being tougher, tho I don't like that guy anyways. I like the other party members who walk a moderate pace & enjoy the new league mechanic as well.

When was Act 1 too tough? never. Guy on stream was killing Brutus just fine without meta build.
