    Mentioned in yesterday's live stream.

    Survivor points are earned for completing Reaper quests. They can be spent in a new enhancement like tree that provides mostly reaper specific bonuses. However there are a few "small" enhancements that will apply outside of reaper. No details were provided on the tree or the enhancements.

    Survivor points are reduced for being overlevel. I think they said 25% reduction for each level over quest level, but it was a bit hard to hear at that point in the live stream.

    Was expected sadly, they said it during first lama iteration and 2nd but we mostly ignored it and focused on content.
    Since we can complete 10 skulls on low/mid and some high tier legendaries without that tree...
    Well idk im really sceptic toward the whole thing.

    For most content, they have three difficulties designed solely for them, Casual, Normal and Hard.

    I got a question: is reaper mode f2p or does it require a purchase to activate?

    Reaper is currently free for all accounts. However, an F2P Player would either need an "Elite Opener" or have completed the quest on Hard setting before they could open (unlock) the quest's "Reaper" mode. In other words it would get unlocked alongside the quest's Elite setting: http://ddowiki.com/page/Reaper_Mode

    When it comes down to it, power creep came along with guild ship buffs when resists of 30 were introduced. From then on, you have many different changes to help rebalance the difficulty and expand the gameplay. You can't add new functionality without re-breaking the old and all it DnD. They would have had to have it percentage based and have level based caps from day 1 in order to scale with new functionality without breaking the old.
