Removed my crafted watchstone and got harvest 2nd map. You might be onto something here.

*edit* and another harvest within 5 maps

Confirmed today, i ran 50+maps with that titanium stone in it and got 0 master missions spawning in the maps
Once i removed it, i immediately got a Alva mission to spawn (and havent played any more maps yet since then)
So yes its bugged
My titanium stone is +90%ish Niko and the maps i ran was in Proxima zone
and 0 masters spawned like i said

I personally hate that this was a thing.
Went two days without any harvests and I just couldn't figure it out.
I was miserable. Easily 70-80+ maps just rifling through without harvests.
Fast-forward to today and at my wit's end, google it to find this thread.
Remove the stones, put in random colored watchstones instead and low-and-behold 4 maps later I get hit with a harvest.
Just.... so.... sad....

Can confirm this to be the case for me also. As soon as remove wathcstone, everything went back to normal.

Not concrete proof, but popped out all of my crafted watchstones for conqueror ones. Got a harvest encounter the first Atoll I popped in.

Edit: May have been an anecdotal coincidence, still having infrequent harvests after replacing watchstones.

Guys it seems to be all new watchstones. I had done around 80 Haeworks with no harvest and knew something was up, No masters in other maps either unless forced. As soon as I scoured all mods from my watchstones the masters started popping up, drowning in einhar again and harvests in haework. Im sure GGG knows something is up but not a word.....NOT LIKE A WEEK OF MY DAMN FREE TIME IS WORTH ANYTHING RIGHT?

Same thing for me. After unsocketing the craftable watchstones, the first map in Haewark afterwards, Harvest spawned. Before i rarely encountered it apart from Zana missions.
3 of 4 watchstones had chance to encounter Zana mod on them.

I can't say for sure if I haven't seen a Harvest in Haewark Hamlet since I socketed a titanium watchstone there, but I can't recall seeing one either.

I've removed my titanium orb for now.

Totally the same: I've run about 50 maps. Nearly no encounters (except metamorph). Removed all stones and got 2 delirium and 1 harvest in 3 maps.
WTF is going on? GGG?

ok guys, i finally fixed the "no harvest spawn" for me: (sorry for bad spelling)


Did run like 80+ t16 atoll without a single natural harvest spawn, just some from forced zana missions.


First step i removed all new whatchstones, run another ~20 atolls and got 1 natural spawn.
Also my forced zana missions granted harvest like every second map now which i find hilarious because i had two "2+ mission" and two "+1 mission" stones socketed before and had like a whole sirus cycle without harvest options. Maybe thats just good luck/bad luck but its funny.


Second step i unspecced all "%chance to gain master missions on map completion"
in the whole atlas tree in every region, also "close allies" in uncharted realms.
I still have "master of atlas" allocated.

I did run 3 atolls now and got 2 natural harvest...
(ill update this post after another 20 maps or so)

update:
did run another 10 t16 atolls got 2 natural harvest.
