Infinite Archive - New changes - Ramps up too quick from stage 5 to stage 6

Playing on PS EU console.

Previous to the recent changes (which I love), I could get to Arc 9 and Duo to Arc 10.

Since the changes, I cannot reach Arc 7. I always lose all 4 lives in Arc 6.

For me it feels like it ramps up way too quick in Arc 6. I can see in the Leaderboards others are in higher Arcs. I am not the youngest most spirtely playerI, getting on a bit now. But I've been in the game since launch and am playing Archive multiple times each day, different classes, different builds. Just can't seem to get past Arc 6.

Fables seem to become invulnerable, even with good offensive Verses and Visions, my damage seems to go nowhere in Arc 6 stages. At first I thought it was just me, but it is consistent. It feels a lot harder than before.

I also notice the droprate for plans and leads seems to be heavily nerfed.

I love Archive, it keeps me interested in ESO as I am bored with PvP, dungeons and trials and hate questing ( the most boring of all things in ESO IMO). But if the difficulty is now ramping up this hard, it soons becomes boring as cannot get further than Arc 6. I don't know if there are just lots of bugs, but for me, it seems adds become almost invulnerable in Arc 6, and the difficulty rating seems way higher than before.

This is on PS EU.

I would be interested hearing other opinions on difficulty ramping from Arc 6+ compared to before recent changes. And opinions on whether others also feel the droprate for plans and leads has been reduced.

Thanks

    Pretty sure the existing monsters + bosses are the same.

    It's only more difficult because of added mechanics (Meteors, Protection Dome, etc), and the two new Marauders are a lot more difficult than the previous bunch (except 4 Arms of course, though I think the Minotaur is more difficult than 4 Arms because it's really hard to kite).

    To be honest, I get bored waiting for IA to actually become a challenge so I wouldn't want them to make the later Arcs easier.
