Diablo III has recently taken home the honor of Best Audio for an Online Game at the 3rd Annual Game Developers Choice Online Awards. This particular achievement "recognizes the overall excellence of audio in an online game including sound effects, musical composition, and overall sound design for an online title."

A big congratulations to all the folks at Blizzard who helped bring the sounds of Sanctuary to life for their hard work, passion, and commitment to making every pitch perfect.

We'd also like to give a /salute to other nominees in the "Best Audio" category and to GDC Online for their epic support of the online gaming industry!

This particular bug fix will only affect Rare and Champion variety, not density. Rares and Champions are rolled randomly every time a dungeon or area is spawned, and the above monster types were simply added to the list of eligible monster types. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
