So i was with a friend and we are both new to the game. We were going through beginner missions and we both hit lvl 16 and the the quest The Cloak Tower. Pretty much the first "party" quest you get to it seems. So we work our way to the tower. I hit lvl 17 on the way. He is 16. It makes me start up a queue. From there we get two more 16s in our group. After a few minutes a lvl38 shows up and we go in. It was nearly impossible to get thru. That quest was at least 20x harder than anything up at that point and we never even got all the way thru it. We got to the final boss and just kept dying. He could one hit most of us as soon as we would port in. So my question is were we in a much harder quest because the 38 joined us ? If it always that hard why is it so much harder than everything else around it ? Its a huge turn off for new players. I love a good tough dungeon But not losing the entire party over and over again except for the 38 as soon as we port in. Thats just stupid.
Also I was thinking of getting the Catti-Brie companion. Will she unlock for everyone on my account or just the 1 toon ?
Thank you so much for any help.

No...The Cloak Tower quest/dungeon is insanely difficult and, as far as I know, currently broken for the very reason(s) you stated. Don't worry, other dungeons (currently) do not behave like that.
Don't get the Catti-Brie companion. Seriously. She is the worst of the bunch. (She is an account wide unlock so all your toons can claim her.). If you do decide to get one/some of companions of the hall, buy them off the auction house rather than the Zen store.....
It used to be the easiest dungeon but became insane when they introduced their scaling system at the start of this year.

Also, I wouldn't recommend getting Catti. Either buy the whole set of 5 with a 25% coupon or wait for one of the others.
