I've updated the patch notes with some new notes (they're summarised at the bottom of the first post).

I guess chaos scales now with your level? It was very boring with a high lvl char to start at chaos 54 and now it is even punished.
I would love to play all areas/acts scaled to my current level (for example as a fifth difficult or something).

It doesn't scale with your level, but chaos now starts at 57, I believe. We're fiddling around with it a lot and will change it plenty in the next few weeks.

Hope it would start much later levels such as 65+ or so, for the better later gameplay experience, and for the sake of game's long lasting.

Everything sounds great really, much appreciated. However will especially looking for the balance issues of these two particularly whenever i get my hand on 0.9.3;

- Doubled the currency item drop rate, but added a penalty to the rate of currency item drops if you're playing in areas far under your level.

Regardless of the second statement, it sounds as it could break the currency system for doubling the rates solely - too powerfull sounding; and honestly never want everybody having everything so early.

We will be adding more levels above 60 soon - especially with the introduction of Act 3 and the continued growth of the first two acts. I am very keen to hear feedback on this after you guys have had a chance to play it.

The currency changes are mostly to offset the fact that the drop rate of items is lower and that bosses don't drop currency. We're changing it a lot more today in alpha19 in response to additional feedback.

Yes, for now.

Added PvP damage multiplier of 1/(1+(attacker_level/8)) for now.

For example:
_____________________________________

Level 10

1/(1+(10/8))=0.444444444
_____________________________________

Level 80

1/(1+(80/8))=0.09090909
_____________________________________

Am I correct?

Yes, that's how it currently works. This will probably change a lot. It's possibly either a multiplier like this or players having 20k life at high levels :P
