Troll Spawn rate

Has anyone else found Trolls spawn way too often since H&H. One spawned recently right next to where I was mining copper. (I'm literally beside the crater I left. It wasn't there while I was farming but was exactly where Greydwarves would spawn.

To me this suggests that All or Some Greydwarf spawn locations has an RNG change to spawn a Troll instead. In areas you are working due to the fact I have to kill 12-20 Greydwarves some days (as in the 18 minute day cycle) this results in a much higher Troll spawn rate.

I've had three spawn in a very small area. I have cleared 3 Chambers, farmed two copper deposits, some Tin, and some blue berries and a little core wood. Not much in the grand scheme. I don't even have Bronze weapons yet. Yet I have 3 trolls to deal with and had to take two down.

Prior to H&H generally speaking killing a troll was something I could generally avoid. Now it is something I have to do to progress because of the random spawns.

I'm curious if others have found the same or if I'm just having out of good RNG luck. The increased spawn rate of harassing mobs seem honestly like a way to annoy and artificially slow progress. Pre H&H 6-9 Greydwarves in a day seemed to be the norm. Now I can easily get 12 to 20 while mining. I had to kill 9 yesterday to pick blueberries. I was attacked by 6 while cutting 1 tree. (in an area I cleared)

I don't know if lowering the percent chance of spawning mobs needs to be lowered a little or the percent chance of spawning a Troll needs to be dropped down a bit. Harassment seems to be the path of difficulty for the Dev (at the moment it is EA after all) so I don't have hopes of mob spawn rate being reduced... but if it is something others are noticing... maybe cut that spawn chance in half.

Mh, for me it feels like they spawn not as much as before H&H, but this is just a feeling. I like Troll hunting :)

0 Trolls spawn until invasion happens. Then they spawn relentlessly, and 2 at a time and they always aggro you.
10/10 balanced game thanks dev's. Probably the reason why i'm tired of visiting worlds with nothing more than Eikthyr's head, it's all I need to enjoy Valheim.

I haven't killed the Elder yet as such the ground has never been shaking. I'm literally just mining out copper and tin and gathering cores. .... and building lots.
