Affecting the Seeding of Hidden Shrines?

[Nystul]

Attika, was all of this testing done during a single session of Diablo? If so, I'd like you to go back and check the shrine again at the start of a session... it may have been "seeded" by one of the previous games you had played during the session while hunting for shrines, which would explain the new pattern. If the new pattern exists at the start of a session, then I think we'd be looking at either your conclusion or my first conclusion.
