are shroud roots supposed to respawn

[Wrothbog]

i thought the point of the story was to clear the shroud? why are shroud roots respawning? it kinda makes progress feel pointless if you have to keep clearing the same roots

[Harry Collier]

I was wondering the same thing. Plus I destroyed the root but when I exited the well the shroud was still there... that didn't seem right.

Everthing respawns in this game outside your base. EVERYTHING. so it all feels quite useless. Make your base near the first boss, restart the server 5 times (single player), and you have a maxed out base. Broken concept for a broken game.

great, so i'm not alone. well playtime is reporting 17 hrs so i might be done until more progress is made on the game in general. game can't be finished yet and everything we CAN do is transient

It's called early excess for a reason.

you cannot max out your base from the first area alone. some stuff unlocks later.

as for tc :

yes. and this was openly communicated by the devs during their gameplay preview for how the shrouded areas work.

you can prevent respawn on the outside shroud areas by placeing down altars.

shroud areas will respawn.

they have to. as the loot bosses and chests drop is RNG. yes. you wont get the same loot as someone else on a boss kill. thus they have to respawn in order for others to farm loot you want. alot of people havent realized this yet.

this is the downside of a fixed worldmap with unique locations and multiplayer in a game about resources : you NEED respawn. it stops working without it simply. some resources are only found in some places. they arent found all over the world like valheim for example.

its one of the downsides of fixed open world map games in multiplayer. in singleplayer you could get away with limited spawns. but the game isnt strictly singleplayer.

i'm not salty, i've gotten as much from the game as i'm getting right now. i knew it wouldn't be finishable i just wasn't aware it would be pseudo MMO rules like conan. i'll follow the game and try it periodically as early access evolves.

Exactly, and this is called critiques, for the very reason that the game is in Early Access. If we dont point out its problems, it will remain in Early Access for 20 years

See how this works? Yeh? Good boi.

Not everyone will see this as a problem. If you are playing co-op/multiplayer, then a friend would miss out on a skill point if they didn't respawn.

Wait so.............. you can farm roots for skill points since they respawn???
I just found out we can farm sparks by simply respawning the world.

I think you only get the skillpoint once, but the loot is farmable.

Pretty much this is a really dumb design idea. Maybe cause it is an xbox game? Incapable of saving open world progress.

Well I guess I will have to find out myself when i next get on.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it's cheesy cause resources respawn as well. You can drop a flame near a clay, copper, salt deposit etc.. mine it all then relog and mine it again cause it's replenished. Same for chests, containers, basically anything lootable will replenish if you relog. I'm sure it isn't like that on a dedicated server? I haven't played on one yet.

[nazerick]

I do hope respawns in the future are tied to timers and not restarts.

[warmer]

The respawn/erase player actions on reload is a smart design decision. The other way this works is with decay that forces the player to constantly add resources to keep their base from fading away.

The lack of permanency outside your base zone is the best way to make this light on the servers vs allowing terrain griefing which no one likes to see
