I am actually going rather slowly for the normal D-II player which means I am going at about the rate Blizzard wanted a player to proceed. I am fighting critters within 5 levels of me. I am level 33 and just entered Act II, NM. Here, the critters I am fighting are about level 35-40. In Act I where I just left they were 30-37. The problem I have previously described was the same in both Acts.
