Harvest not spawning

Can someone plz fix this soon, first played 40+ atoll maps with harvest nodes without getting a single harvest, then chose to change to lex proxima and ran 20+ parks - with harvest nodes, without seeing a single harvest. Then i was like fuck harvest, went to burial chaimber (Lex Ejoris - no harvest nodes (ofc)) and got 2 harvest within the first 4 maps just to rub it in my face.

+1

30 atoll
0 harvest

Also updating my previous comment about being lucky. Playing non-less than 10 hours/day and today is second day without harvest in Haewark as well as anywhere else.

Aren't we specializing on something we want to do? Can I exchange my 99999 contracts from bloody Heist into single harvest node?

My Mapwatch:

Encounter # % of 140 maps (Hamlet with +6 points in Harvest nodes)
Cassia ×15 10.71%
Oshabi ×5 3.571%

Encounter # % of 197 maps (Proxima with +6 points in Harvest nodes
Cassia ×26 13.19%
Oshabi ×8 4.060%

Cassia proved for comparison since they should have roughly the same chance to spawn in these two areas.

Overall:
Encounter # % of 1389 maps
Oshabi ×21 1.511%


About 15 of my 21 Harvest encounters were forced Zana master missions (Paths not Taken, 2x +1 Zana watchstones in each zone most of the time) or in Conqueror maps. I also recall 1 natural master spawn from A0-A7.

I struggle to believe this is just "bad luck" in all cases after this many maps. Like 0.3-0.4% natural Harvests is a bit unbelievable. I'm sure the most obvious places a bug like this would occur were checked but it probably got submitted as a low-priority bug and those don't really get exhaustive investigations. There must be an interaction somewhere suppressing Harvest for some people.

Going to experiment running without crafted watchstones and respeccing out and back into the entire tree for science for 500 maps or so.

That's some serious science you did there, thanks for that. I can only subscribe that. I had my first natural harvest spawn today since I think 3 days now, playing at least 8-10 hours a day. I pretty much gave up on that content. Zana is the only chance for me to get a Harvest encounter. And then, you only have that many Zana missions, especially if you don't have groves to give you more of those with crafts.

The really sad part about it is that selling crafts is serious money this league, so not only can we not participate in that market, we also have to buy the crafts. I mean, I am just trying to roll some gloves with Suffixes not changed since 3 fkn days. Not gonna happen. I don't want to buy those more than common crafts. It's just silly.

Problem is if people now chime in with "I didn't have a harvest in 30 maps", well that's just RNG tbh, 30 maps is nothing. We are talking about hundreds, thousands of maps, days of playing. That's not RNG anymore.

Another thing I want to point out is that probably a lot of people affected by this don't even realise:

I have been doing quite a few Chayula Rotas from level 97-98 (i started at 10% xp) and asked the groups how they experience the harvest encounters, and most of the people were around 20-30 maps per encounter, regardless of area. Some of the people though, were absolutely shocked when hearing those numbers because they thought 1 encounter in 200-300 maps is normal. I used to play pretty much solo for all the previous leagues, just interacting with players to trade or some questions in global. Now I am actually playing in a group, so I can (luckily?) compare my experiences.

The problem here is, there is RNG involved, so you could always say: "Well, unluck".

What makes me doubt that is that everything was fine until a certain point in early end-game mapping, when I just stopped seeing harvest at a comparable rate to the people I play with. It was engaging and fun to share those "GROVE!" moments before that. After that point, whatever it was, my first Oshabi encounter, certain points on the map tree, a socketed watchstone, who the hell knows, I just forbid anyone on post "GROVE" in group chat, I don't want to know anymore, it's nothing but frustrating.

And another thing I want to point out is that it is literally *impossible* to get the Oshabi challenge done for people affected by this. There is no way I will be able to have enough encounters. I am at "Harvest the Heart of the Grove 4/15" atm playing 10 hours a day since league start. And I leeched 2 of those kills!

I noticed the exact same thing, farming hamlet and getting no harvests at all (but cassia is there every 2nd/3rd map), except occasional one through Zana. This is with all harvest nodes and t14+ maps only, with custom watchstones socketed in.

Problem is, like someone mentioned before, unless a streamer makes a video about it, and it gets upvoted on reddit several hundred times, nothing will happen out of this whatsoever. You can make 1000+ map experiments, it's like you did absolutely nothing.

Well there was Darkee couple days ago on his stream:

I mean, exactly THIS!

I am up to ~50 Haewark 14+ maps with 0 spawns. Did 4 white shaper guardian maps with a friend through my atlas and ran into 2 harvests. Something is broken. Shocking.

A reddit thread was put up regarding this issue, so hopefully it gets more traction and saves us from this hell

In the last 3 days i did at least 60 haewark hamlet not one harvest, i do have tons of essence now though.
