Yes, for about the first hour, the last 4 stages were much easier than normal. Thankfully I was able to beat all 4 stages with myself and hiring a few friends (I went from hardest to easiest, though). As of about 3:25 PM or so PST, they updated the game and fixed the "glitch" making the last 4 stages much more difficult.

It is definitely possible to finish the last few locations, but you will most likely have to hire friends, and either have to wait to heal between sessions or revive with gems. I believe the revives do scale between levels, so it will be more expensive to revive at level 7 than it would be to revive at level 4 or 5.

Even though they screwed up initially, the rewards are definitely better than any previous and allowing players (even though it's very difficult) to craft SF when they may not have been able to previously.
