Vaneras		Monster Density Patch Note Clarification(1)Category: PTR FeedbackApril-17-2013 2:30 AM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
In the latest PTR patch notes for build 16033, we noted that "certain areas in Act I and Act II have received further adjustments to Monster Density." We've seen some players ask what zones this change applies to, so here's a bit more information.

Zones that are bolded received a straight-up buff to their density.
Zones that are italicized were slightly nerfed.
All other zones had monster spawns adjusted to make them feel more "clumpy."

Act I:
  • The Lyceum
  • Cave of the Moon Clan Level 1
  • Weeping Hollow
  • Cathedral Level 1
  • Cathedral Level 2
  • Leoric’s Hunting Grounds
  • Whimsyshire

Act II:
  • Realm of Shadow
  • Dahlgur Oasis
  • Vile Cavern
  • The Storm Halls
  • The Unknown Depths
  • The Eastern Channel
  • The Western Channel

Thank you to everyone who's posted about the density changes so far; your feedback is incredibly appreciated. We're still fine tuning monster density across all Acts, so please be sure to keep sharing your thoughts and experiences from the PTR. :-)

The original post has been update with addition information.

Were there any thoughts placed into letting the user decide the density?

Ie on the quest selection screen, adjusting the monster power levels from 0-10, could there not be the same applied next to it...a drop down selection for mob density from 0-10?

We have not heard about any plans for such an option, but that is not to say that it may never happen.

Can u give us any information about itemization and PvP progress?

There is no new information available on these features, but rest assured that we have not given up on them. Itemization improvements and PvP are both things that need to be awesome and fun, and if the developers do not feel the quality of these features are where they need to be, then they will be reiterated upon until they reach the wanted quality.

We are of course very much aware that these are some of the things you guys want the most in-game, and preferably sooner rather than later, but we will not rush and release something that is not ready. We will of course keep you guys updated as soon as we get new information on the progress of these things.
