Do high levels ghost spawns?

[malcolm_mountainslayer]

Sometimes i go in an area and its like some freaking super epic levels walked through with 4 times the enemies etc. I noticed one time in temple of noisome god after a epic party cleared everything and we had to wait for the second floor to spawn so we can finish the writ and when we went back down stairs there was way too much for a max lvl 16 writ. Like 5 seers( who cast lvl 9 spells) on top of whatever else was down there)

Is there some kind of weird refresh script ?

I've also seen spawns double up due to a bug, where you could have 2 (and very rarely 3) bosses and their entourage as well as double spawns elsewhere. It has never been consistent enough for me where I could replicate it to file a useful bug report though.

I also think spawn size is related to party size. So if you summoned a familiar to open a chest or something else it might take you past some threshold to create a larger spawn.

I think there is more to it. Besides us all being wiped out for writ that we should have been the max lvl for with buffs and all (multiple godsavea so the exp loss is just increased), other players have had experiences where if a higher level party clears an area shortly before new stuff spawns, it causes ridiculous spawns.

I have no idea how the spawning works, but something I've noticed that may or may not be related is ..

If I am on an adventure alone, the monsters can be quite easy, but once someone joins me more difficult things begin to spawn. Could have been a coincidence each time, though!

Bigger parties do cause tougher spawns. But two comparable parties shoudknt have a spawn difference of like times 5. Which has been the case multiple times for me. Sometimes even same party getting completely different spawns, often when first entering a place like some high levels were there just before us. The example i provided was verified time epics before us caused the problem.

There is also the -balance system, which I haven't heard mentioned in ages.
