So, I tried playing the game for the first time since the last beta version, and in four games, I saw exactly zero "Weak" monster groups, every single nearby quest was "strong", and every single settleable "second city" spot was guarded by mobs that there's no way in hell to take out early game.
Was I just incredibly unlucky, or did something actually change in map generation? if this is "normal" behavior, then this is pretty much totally unplayable.
