Shroud roots regeneration

[Robin_WH]

To my unpleasant surprise, destroyed Shroud roots regenerate/respawn along with all enemies, even in private games.
When I clear a well, or indenpendent shoud root, I expect to stay so. It would be nice, if your game progress was visible in form of diminishing shroud fog.
Also if enemies stopped respawning in place clear of Shroud.

let me tell you that to your further unpleasent suprise is that EVERYTHING SINGLE THING aside stuff placed or done inside your flame altars RANGE of effect will respawn and reset the moment you restart your game or you not visiting the area for 30 minutes of real time.

shroud roots just follow suit.

I'm not sure Keen even knows if they want the game to be endless or arrive at a final win state. What I am sure of is that it feels pointless to cultivate combat prowess when it never impacts the world.

Yeah they do that on reload

I really hope they introduce a game mode where cleared shroud roots stay cleared, and where you can eventually do what you set out to do, and rid the world of the shroud. As it stands, it might work for a public server where players drop in and out, but it's rather demoralising, feeling that everything you do is ultimately futile.

I'd also really like to clear and take control of the towns like Pikemead, and restore them to their former glory. After destroying the shroud roots and killing the enemies at the castle, it was disappointing not being able to take over and make the throne room your new base of operations!

The fact that we can't clear the world of these shroud roots and fog is the biggest disappointment in the game. Everything has become meaningless...

That might be on the road map. Mind you we still need to get the northern Map expansion where the shroud originally came from.
So we might get a quest line that helps us understand and fight the shroud better. From there we might be able to track back and clear the shroud once and for all.
We need to wait and see.

Although i understand why they wouldn't let us keep the changes made outside of our flame altars (which you can place multiple of and upgrade them to cover and insanely large area) since that would massively increase the size of the save file and massively impact the performance of multiplayer lobbies.

The game's story is not complete. Currently all you do is prepare yourself as a guardian. The lores you discover suggest that the veil can be combated and eradicated permanently, but it has not yet been specified how.

Here's my pipe dream. When the final and complete game is released, there will be a giant Shroud Root Boss to fight at the end. The toughest fight of all. (I expect more and harder fights as the game is updated with new biomes) But this root boss will be the absolute hardest. Likely to much for a solo player (like me).

But when/if that boss is defeated, being boss hogg of shroudworld, the rest of the shroud retreats back under it's rock to sulk forever.

But yeah, I get your point. We, as the Flameborn, are supposed to be defeating the shroud a bit at a time. Restore Embervale to it's former glory. Respawning roots take that away from us.
