Personally, I haven't played the game before 1.2, but I think that changes are noticeable once you get further into the game. Once you get Spectre Armor and a good magic weapon/spell, the game is literally over. Seriously, you can't die if your play is at least decent (except in very unfortunate encounters with Paladins/Pumpkings). I think that was the biggest change, the possibility of being so OP, that you can't die. Risk should exist even if you have the best gear in the game. But I think they're gonna fix that in a new update, I hope at least. But I see your point.
