I have like 300 hours into this game as was clearing goblin towns with relative ease two moths ago. Now the swamp is kick my ass trying to help a noob get some iron?! WTF?!?!?!? Ridiculous!!!!

Start a new toon and you'll end up just as OP as you did before. You just need to unlearn some bad habits you learned in pre-H&H. Like stamina foods are WAY more important now; you can't just grab all the best health foods and be good to go. Also the combat changes take some getting used to. Stamina management is even more important in combat now.
