Scaling seems out

I've just completed the undermountain quest and then went to try and complete my weekly quests in Barovia and i can't complete them, they are too hard and my stats have reduced massively - surely as you progress in the game the older content should be easier?

I'm a first timer to this forum, but i really enjoy this game, but doing this will mean i can't complete the old campaigns fully - seems a bit odd, as i could complete this content no problem on item level 14k and now i'm nearly 20k i can't do it - confused why this is now in the game?

    it's because the new scaling system implemented in mod 16 basically punishes players for leveling up. Not sure who's idea this was but it's not good one.

    I personaly don't think scaling should be in overworld areas at all, dungeons fine but not in barovia, chult, UM, or any other area like that.

    Scaling is hopelessly broken. The devs have lost sight of a fundamental reason people play this game, it was fun. It is not fun to enter an area, get scaled, and get trashed by everything that moves. Especially when the content was fun to do just a week earlier. I have no issues with the mechanics changes to opposing rolls. I don't mind the simplification of the classes. But why work on developing a character only to have it be unplayable anywhere except UnderMountain?

    Because the Devs don't actually play this game. That's been made fairly clear. They have nod idea what their changes actually do besides what's "on paper."
