The latest beta patch really made things more difficult.

They released a rather large beta patch rescently. On the biggest things it did in my eyes was nerf the amount of loot that drop and what kind drops. The monsters are worth less XP as well.
I started a new guy and yes I can already see the diffrence. I knew the loot tables were messed up before when my level 8 blademaster had two legendary swords.

The loot tables were really bad. Killing bosses seemed to always yield 2 or 3 legendaries along with a plethora of other loot along with legendary items becoming as common as rares. I think the leveling system was far quicker than it should be as well for a cap of lvl 50. Yeah I would of liked to max out characters very quickly, but I also understand the way progression is handled in these style games with requiring a slower grind IE. diablo2 becomes a very slow grind at 90 (Though I doubt they would make 50 unattainable like 99 was in d2).
In the end if the xp is nerfed from beta to release I guess is figured, and the loot tables were way off on dropping legendaries with low to no +luck. It was a needed change in order to give those items any value.
Hell I killed Oculis 2 days ago and he dropped 2 rares 5 legendaries 2 uniques. I am sorry, but that is just a loot that shouldn't happen.
Edit** Ignore the post rofl. I didn't play prior to the patch because I thought you were talking about a patch yesterday or today. I think the loot is overly generous and the lvling is far far to easy.
I was playing last night and I seemed to level faster, there seemed to be more mobs and more champions.
Im sure during the beta phase the items/exp you get are increased for testing purposes.. They will most likely turn those way down for release if they havnt by now..
The other day i found legendary gloves at level 2 from a box i shot open...
Seems kind of ridiculous and the i think the tune was/is resonable.
Yesterday night I got 4 legendaries off 3 bosses...1 sword, gloves, shoulders, and a helm. To bad that 3 of them were useless to me since they were for marksman and I am a blademaster.
They need to stop playing with stuff, and fix issues first...as right now, I cannot see a buy for this title until these issues go away (and I so want it, as it is quite fun...)
Cheers!
It's common to up the Xp and Drop Rates for beta - they would never be able to test those legendaries if no one ever got them, and they'd never be able to test higher levels if no one could reach them.
