starting at lvl 60.. I can no longer do Sharandar.. as they're all 70+ and kill me instantly. but I just tried a Rothe Valley Quest (the on where you travel in the cart) It loaded and said you're now fighting at lvl 70.. increased powers etc (I'm currently 62.5) they're all 70+. and what happened? dead.
am I missing something? or is it even pointless to try to do what we've all been able to do before. until I/we hit 70?

As an example; when my GF was scaled to 70 in IWD my HP was at 85k (Purified BI, HP boons, R9 Radiants) but a true level 70 GF will have around 120k to 140k HP.
So I think the only way forward is to take the new quest line from Knoxy in PE and level up that way. Mind you, one of my mains is struggling with that too. I just cannot survive long enough to beat even the mini-bosses. I end up kiting around waiting for my healer and potion cooldowns to expire to the extent that I can't get any damage in...
I might end up in pre-60 stuff until I gain a few levels. Crazy but true.
My dc did some yesterday.. it was challenging , but doable, reminded me of when i first started playing.
Sharander and Dread ring seem ok, some parts of iwd are much harder though.
Sadly none of them are worth doing exp wise over the new leveling zones, as they give the same crappy exp.
you cant do esot or elol until 70.. and Tiamat scales, but you wont be doing it, I see people in there still calling for timers and chuckle.
Have noticed the same thing. My poor, little TR is struggling to solo in Sharandar, Dread Ring, IceWind Dale, etc--anywhere I'm artificially raised to lvl 70. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I've died in these areas since the update. Whatever mechanic was used by Cryptic to allow us to play these areas is broken or, at the least, insufficient.
Heading back to the new area to train up, so I can continue the other campaigns.
On the negative side, for a new 60 (I'm just relatively new) the boons are pretty much out of reach. Oddly enough, the Vault of Nine has also been turned into an artificial 70 zone, which is odd since it's now a level 60 quest with no other requirements.
Pls dont quit because of this, you are not really supposed to be able to do this (at least not easily, i was approx 18k GS before changes and even then is still tough in places, and IWD is impossible for me too).
Do the new quest line from Serg Knox, level and gear up to 70 and you'll be back to Shar, DR and IWD no worries

As newish level 60 (x3) I have t1 epic gear and had about 10.5 to 11.5k GS. With the new non-GS GS it's about 1000 iirc.
Anyway, the green rewards for the starter Minsc quests replaced some of the T1 epic gear. I expect that we will be gearing up pretty quickly and may be able to play in the campaign zones before 70. Maybe.
It took me several tries to take down the knight commander in the dread ring, and I have not tried a Sharandar lair yet (probably will do so today, yesterday I cleaned the reservoir and some minor quests).
I got very angry at some of the changes. Specially at the dread ring lairs. The difficult has been largely increased but the rewards were nerfed. Not only you can not stash the treasure troves to open them on a proper day anymore (I did that on mondays and fridays) but also you are no longer granted a greater mark. Now you can get a greater, normal or minor mark (I got a minor, of course)
Sorry for any spelling mistake. English is a foreigner language to me.
Sadly, I'm skeptical that this will really be fixed, as that would require that whoever thought this was a good idea swallow his pride and admit a gross error in judgment. That's hard for a lot of people to do.

If they scale ToT as well as "you are now 70" Sharandar/DR/IWD/WoD, then its pretty much a waste of time if the group has a number of under 70.
just did this Pirates Ship again.. the 61 lvl guy just took one swipe and took nearly 1/4 of my HP.. I'm nearly lvl 64.. those lil buggers need to drop some of their eq ;p
I would skip IWD , its hardest of the areas. If you had 17-20k in old gear score, you should have no problem with most of the scaled items other then there, your not going to do the elites alone.
Or.. just skip it and go to the leveling zones or run the 3 mans (they give pretty good return of exp and are pretty much soloable, so even in a poor group, doesnt matter)
I guess they figure you will just level to 70 before doing any of that stuff..doesn't look like 60-70 will be a big deal...played 3 hours and got to 61. So its not going to take long to get to level 70. Then we will see how hard this stuff is.
*shrugs.. it's more so the blind grinding.. over and over.. not daily.. but over and over.. quest after quest.. and even more depressing.. the XP you get is <2500 most of the time..
