Its been a while since i played and havent really kept up with the patch notes, was looking to play again on release but was just wondering if general mob density has been increased in the last 9 months or if there are any plans to increase it on release ?
Last time i played the world and monoliths always just felt empty.
I just started playing a few months ago and ran through the campaign. I have yet to do end game content as I waiting till full release. However, during the campaign there was massive amount of mob density. I feel like every ten seconds or less there was another combat encounter
what do you mean by combat encounter though, when i played sure there was mobs every 10 seconds (which i think is alot of down time in an arpg tbh) but there was like 1 or 2, packs of monsters are like 5 strong at most
I guess its about the same then. I would say at most its between 5-9 mobs. I don’t think I have ever seen a crazy amount but I have also only played the campaign, as I said above, so I have no idea of End Game has a more
I have heard they are working on this, the main issue behind increasing density is performance. As they optimize, they’ll increase mob density, but don’t ever expect it to be PoE levels.
Its a server performance thing.
Honestly dont get your hopes up
This is something EHG constantly improves, some map layouts are already pretty packed but i agree that there are overall to few enemies on to many maps.
Mike recently answered this on Reddit, they are planning to increase this for sure, but I think performance is one of the big factors, so they will probably do it slowly over time.
Also I think the end result will and should not be too much, because with how much empasize LE puts on slower more methodical gameplay with evadign telegraphed attacks etc, too much mob density can hurt this and make what is happening on screen too overlaoded.
Here is the Quote from reddit where Mike answers this:
Q: Hi, is there anything i can do to increased mob density? i often have the feeling to run around and killing nothing, it’s a bit boring
there’s some map for exemple, with feline chimera or immortal eyes, with a ridiculously poor one
A:This is something we have been working on. It’s not perfect yet but it is improving.

GODDD!!! Give me density, please!! … OR FFS!! add a duration affix to the game. Hows a person supposed to keep up a 1 sec buff when it takes 5 just to go from one single monster to the next.
