Meadows are much easier now, I've been back playing for a few weeks now (started a new biome).
In my opinion the Meadows are much easier now, some Deer just stand still even when you pass them, Boars are numerous and no challenge at all, Necks still do nothing and Trolls use their throwing skill and it always misses.
Meadows needs a buff for even new players must find it a no challenge area now.

Still i jumped out of my chair when an Abomination spawned next to me in the swamps, this was a fun new wtf moment!, but sadly it's pathing is terrible so it is easy to kill.
Anyway it feels good to be back playing.
