This patch most notably changes tool and resource toughness math. The Strong harvest skills now do more damage per level, but they take up 1 point that would otherwise be spent on basic harvesting strength. This is however now easily counteracted with harvesting enchants. There will probably need to be some tweaking over time, but with the new harvesting enchants I don't think we'll be seeing any problems at higher levels.
There are some good discussions happening on the Steam forums. Most interesting to me is the concept that regular monsters at higher levels don't drop useful loot, and are rarely needed for their experience and light. In other words, they are more a pain in the neck than anything after a certain point. We'd love to hear more opinions on the matter of wandering mobs in the wilds.
