I logged in today after 2 weeks and the game seems harder?
Im on difficulty 2.0
When the enemy attack me my health seems to drop quick
Also how do u get more than 4 health bottles? as i constantly have to go town to refill
Lastly
How do u get the horse?
thnx
Not sure about difficulty, but I have seen a few people on here say the game suddenly feels harder for them too, perhaps due to a shadow-patch.
By doing Renown (Side quests, Lilith statues, Map Discovery) you get rewards, sometimes those rewards increase your potion count.
You get the Horse at some point during the campaign, keep doing the main questline and you’ll get it.
You get more health potions as you unlock zone renown.
Don’t forget to visit the Alchemist every 10 levels (I think it’s 10, maybe 20) to upgrade your health potions
There was no “shadow patch”. Please stop constantly making things up. It is really sad how toxic you are…
It has been 2 weeks according to them since they last played and there was a patch for balance 11 days ago.
Could you please stop lying. 
thanx
when i die i get a notice that the quality of my stuff gets reduced by 10% if i respawn (notice of 10% reduction), i then exit the game but i have to start again
why is this and how to avoid?
The only way to avoid the 10% reduction of your stuff is not to die. I mean when Tier 2 is too hard for you…switch to World Tier 1, farm Renown and better gear.
If you find the repair costs prohibitive I can propose that you go into Hardcore. Never had to pay for a repair yet.
Also as a side-joke:
You may feel useless, but you will never be as useless as the repair option at the blacksmith in hardcore. 
World tier 2 requires 1-3 legendary items and a proper build, you cant just toss in some active skills, passive skills and random gear stats and get away with it, like you can in tier 1.
So go back down to tier 1 and start looking for the right stats on the gear, and adjust the build itself if you are not following a spesific build guide.
You should allso look at the aspects library and see if there is any for your build that can be unlocked via dungeons, and then do thouse dungeons to get the aspect. Aspects basicly upgrades yellow gear to legendary.
Finaly there is power scaling in this game. The stronger you get, the stronger the enemy become, even in tier 1. It dont take effect the moment you become stronger, but it does take effect the next time you logg in. The power scaling is active anywhere exept nightmare dungeons ( you get access to thouse when you unlock tier3)
Depending on what class you are playing, and how well you play it, there are some hurdles to get over at certain levels. I struggled on WT2 on my barbarian arround level 35 and had to lower to WT1, but 5 levels later i was once again strong enough to play WT2.
You get more health potions by increasing your renown, You can increase your renown by completing sidequests, dungeons and strongholds, and by exploring the map and finding Lilith statues.
You get your horse after progressing the story. It is given to you early on in act 4. Once unlocked, this is account wide, you will be able to use the horse on other characters from level 1
Easy solution, don’t play on World Tier 2. Lower it to 1.
can i go tier one with an existing character, get better powers and armour and then change back to tier 2?
You can go between difficulties at will. You will lose progress in any Tree of Whispers content you’re working on.
In the starter city, you can go to the statue and change your difficulty as often as you want without having to log out to do so.
I am level 71 on Eternal, and I often drop down to WT1 to clear side quests.
