How do areas reset in this game? (Double-checking my Steam review.)

[BondageSpider]

I'm curious how you go about grinding if you're insufficient level, since it seems to me that enemies don't respawn. If I clear the overworld in an area, I can quit and reload and it still seems empty. (Unlike in Borderlands, where every time you quit and reload it resets the whole world except for quest progress.) But then sometimes I return to a dungeon I'm sure I've done before, and it's all new, the map is fogged and there are more enemies and loot.

Exactly what conditions need to be met for an area to reset? Does it have anything to do with saving or reloading, or the passage of time, or depend on if it's an overworld area or a dungeon?

I think maybe I got this wrong in my Steam review and I'd like to correct it. Thanks in advance.

If you aren't using any mods, try joining a mod free server. It will reset your world and you can start farming again.

Also, you can get the app, 'Rapid Respec' and use it to reset your characters skills. You can also clone it.

You can reset the areas by creating a LAN game (Resume -> LAN Game), then checking "Reroll area" ;)

This works no matter what mod you use

also, phase beast challenges always reset if you leave before going through the portal and reenter singleplayer.
especially useful in act 1/3

Less useful if you get that %^&*!# maze. :p

never got that one tbh, only ever used the one in the frozen wastes in act1 and the sundered battlefield in act3 for farming.

i think i avoided/missed most of the others

Thanks for all the replies. I added some info about the LAN game re-rolling thing to my review, and did some clean-up while I was there. Hopefully this is more accurate and helpful now.

The game retains the last three or four maps you visited of each type: overworld, dungeon, or town. All others will be regenerated. Towns will also regenerate (refreshing vendor inventories) after you've been away for a sufficient time.

Interesting, thanks. I'll keep it in mind on future runs.
