Trying to do dream seeds, boss events in zones like disciple of fyrakk. I will constantly shard out either mid fight or right at end of dream seeds. Seen it when collecting herbs or ores. I have posted in technical support with no answers. Is anything able to be done to prevent this? I know these are all minor gameplay things but I have ignored most of dragonflight and just trying to do things I have missed and get stupid things like this make it hard.

It’s happened to me several times in the middle of the Grand Hunt.
Just happened to me AGAIN in community feast I really do not get this.
I’m not sure you’re going to get the answers you were hoping for in the support forums, as a fellow player I can only suggest putting in a bug report.
The servers tend to spin shards and layers on demand and it would require development to adjust.
I believe a developer tweeted some of this information, probably about Classic, but I wonder if the employ similar tech.

Fair enough I understand that, but everything I attempt to do lately gets interrupted by a shard change. when it happens on a quest its not a big deal, but these events is absolutely ridiculous. If i do the event again most of the time it happens again. What an unplayable mess it makes the game.

Nothing to add, but the thread title gave me a good giggle this morning. (sorry for your problems)

It’s a problem. Was doing a dream and had an empowered rare almost down then poof it’s gone and everything around me is different (yes dream was still active). Doing one of those climbing WQs and poof I get knocked off and the thing resets like I just got there not had it at 5 of 7. Fighting a quest mob then poof they’re all gone and everything around me is different. Stuff like this literally happens every time I play now and god has it gotten old.
Editing at 7:10pm. What the hell blizzard! I was on the last phase of a Hunt and got sharded. Everything vanished and there was no Hunt anymore, all that time spent wasted! FIX THIS CRAP.

Something is definitely broken. I forgot it happened on me in a hunt too. I had this in customer service, never responded, and they just moved it here where we will never get a response. quite ridiculous

I just shut down the game because I got sharded for the seventh time today and I’d had enough. Myself and another player were doing the Fields of Ferocity and had the final boss to 2% and suddenly he was gone and it was instant night. Checked with the quest giver and would have had to start over completely. I noped out.
Annoying that is such an issue and no one cares
Yeeaah, this has been an ongoing problem
It’s been especially bad the last few weeks.
There’s a bunch of people trying to be as loud as possible on the forums cause it’s gotten rediculous.
I hear this and trying to be loud about it. I unsubscribed for now, not that it means anything that one person unsubscribed but I am not paying to unable to play at least most of the time. I can get occasional issues like this but how many times a day can this happen and be over different activities and somehow be okay and not talked about.

So this isn’t funny blizz. Standing on the SW dock waiting for the boat to the Dragon Isles, it had seconds left and I could see the boat coming in. Then POOF gone and the sky was different and the timer to arrival was back to 5 minutes. I got sharded standing on the dock alone waiting for the boat. Are you serious?
Either fix sharding or get rid of it.

The fights are my biggest problem. When the NPCs that almost dead disappear and new NPCs appear while my abilities are left on cooldown.

Got sharded out of yet another dreamseed. why does blizzard not care. post in bug report so it can get ignored.
I have been working on the new meta achievements, and I constantly have to start over due to sharding. It is absurd.

So I’ve had this happen three times today while fighting the ED world boss, running it on alts. Almost dead, and we all get sharded to a boss at full health again. And had it happen twice today with seeds. Down to less than 10 seconds, and poof off to a new shard, with my purple seed wasted and nothing to show for it. Got so frustrated I logged off. How hard is it to built a line in the code like IF=in combat or a timed event THEN=don’t change shards.
In reality it probably needs to be more complex than that. BUT, that would be a nice first step to reducing impacts of this issue if it’s going to take a lot of time for the complex fix. I feel like they’ve decided to prioritize constantly reducing server resources and letting us customers suffer from the downsides of that.
You are 100% right it probably is a lot more complex, but something is better for us than ignoring it. What I hate most is they move it to a section no one will notice it.
