Dregora is too easy?

I started playing Dregora today, and after completing the first Battle Tower, I have to say it’s noticeably easier. In fact, it’s so much easier that I find myself wishing it were more challenging.

In the original RLCraft, when you died, mobs would stay on your loot, making it much harder to recover your items. However, in Dregora, even though I had a bed right next to the Battle Tower, all the mobs despawned after my death. This means I could just walk back up the stairs and retrieve all my loot without encountering a single enemy. Even blighted mobs despawn, which takes away a lot of the challenge. I have to admit, I don’t really like this mechanic.
