For sure should be an option.

Normal difficulty should be mostly as is. The mistlands was a bit over nerfed, and needs some tweaks here tho. For what the mistlands started as.... that was extreme difficulty. I can't even get my friends who didn't play it to understand and a couple are pretty hard core old gamers. I am all for that being on the high difficulty tho cause there a lot of us that want/need that. It was not so bad after I geared up (of course I learned a lot too), however, the grind to gear up was also a big part of the difficulty frustration with the pre-nerf mistlands. Now, I think POIs tend to have more cores, so that would have helped me a lot.
