IS this by design, or simple accident, but 2 days now I’ve tried to do things in retail And both times I get randomly shard changed so I can’t complete my task. First while planting a purple seed and dumping 500 currency to max it out, 30s nope get wrecked. enjoy this fresh dirt pile.
Then Forcing a rare spawn, having it just over 50% dead, and nope, enjoy these 10 new mobs around you with the rare gone, because why the f not.
This is not encouraging or immersive, and making me reconsider giving retail another shot.
I say this every time, but if there was an “opt out” setting for sharding I’d take it in a heartbeat. I don’t care if I never see another player again or have a laggy mess of 200 people in a zone both are preferable to having all your progress doing a task negated as you and your entire group suddenly get shoved into a different shard.
