straight to the point...nightmare is no fun atm.
@normal
you (lvl31) - endboss @ normal (lvl32) // this is fine and completely doable
@nightmare
you (lvl31 1/2) - endboss of act1 (lvl40) // undoable without grinding for hours
you (lvl32 1/2) - endboss of act2 (lvl47) // undoable without grinding for hours
the big deal for everything is...
<7 lvls above you = easy
8 lvls above you = hard, but doable
>9 lvls above you = nearly impossible
now you might say "grind more for exp and farm better items". i could live with that. nightmare should take longer and should be harder. but it should be doable. atm i have to grind shulgoth for 1hour to 3hours (when you getting higher in your lvl) just to be able to finish the next quest area.
the exp-curve and also the lvl-curve of the enemys are totally broken.
there are two ways atm how it would end.
the final-endboss will be lvl68-70 and impossible to kill. or the final-endboss will be lvl 50-52 and act4 and act5 will become a lol-faktor (you have to be near lvl50 to kill the endboss of act3).
the blues of the nightmare bosses haven't your character lvl (they have the character lvl of kills in normal-mode).
looking at all of that...nightmare feels terribly unbalanced, incomplete, unfinished and un-tested.
one last thing:
i haven't seen any post to this nightmare experience so far. this feels very strange. i doubt my mates and i are the only forum-active users who managed to get to nightmare.
so it may could be a bug, caused by anything i've done in-game or a bad patch0 download. might be.
update:
i've done some testing in singleplayer. and...just...lol. see for yourself
