Both me and my boyfriend have been noticing that we seem to be dying to random monsters WAY more often than we used to during exploring. Was that changed during the last update and just not mentioned?

I've also found this to be the case. I also seem to be finding about half as much Vermillion as I used to.

I wouldn't so much mind if they are harder, but I would appreciate being told of changes like these.. especially when they're releasing update logs anyway.. I hate having to stumble across changes.

I didn't notice any change, though I read somewhere that those trade markets are more common and the other buildings became rarer.

As Kayla said I don't mind changes, but is it really that much to ask for an official news post about such stuff?

There was no balance change for monsters, their power is the same from the first day of launch.

Big balance changes are posted as news post like it was with Craft & Construction update. Small ones can be found in this topic.

Really? I have no idea why this seems to be happening then. Thanks for answering anyway!
