What gameplay feature is this bug affecting?
July event/Explore

What's the issue? Please include any error messages you receive and as much detail as possible.
Not too sure if this is a bug, but I've spent over 5 bars of energy (across both accounts) and have yet to find any meteorite shards at all in explore and it seemed quite different to the last few years I've participated in the event? The encounters for the specific quest I'm doing for each NPC has shown up, but no other explore encounters have occurred. This could just be weird RNG, but I figured I'd report in case. This specifically refers to regular explore, the celestial explore is dropping meteorite shards as normal.

Update: I levelled up this king and switched zone (was previously in Rocky Hills, now in Arid Desert) and am no longer having this issue. I'll leave the report up in case it's specific to rocky hills.
UPDATE 2: Further experimentation - it seems to be related to having an active quest with the Civil War NPCS, rather than the zone. Even in the different zones, when I took a quest, all other event encounters stopped showing up.

Any links relating to this bug? For example, if a particular lion is bugging, what is the link to that lion?


Any screenshots you can provide us with?


Please provide us with step by step explanation how this bug happened so we can attempt to replicate it. If it's complex, please include screenshots where possible:
I've been exploring, and no event encounters (except for the specific encounter for the NPC quest) has occurred.

I found 4-5 shards during 1 energy bar and 4 shards during another energy bar! That's crazy, it's definitely not RNG

I think the issue may be specific to Rocky Hills, because I spent over 5 energy bars and found no event encounters at all (except the quest one), no meteorite shards or anything. I switched zone and have been finding encounters regularly.

I don't think so, I only explore first and second locations and I guess we met the same problem. Everything is alright with shards on my side account

Sorry, I've updated the post since then, but didn't edit my reply, my current working theory is if you've taken an NPC quest for the Civil War storyline, the encounters for explore except for the ones relevant to the quest will stop showing up.

Maybe, I am in quest and I met only quest encounters (whispers)

Yep, that's the same for me, no meteorite shards will drop if I have the whispers quest active (haven't been able to test other quests yet)

Hey there! I passed this along to a site coder to investigate into. It looks like it was an intentional mechanic to remove the ability to find Meteorite Shards when on a quest to collect/trap whispers, to make it so that the quest can be completed faster. It has now been adjusted so that Meteorite Shards can be found when on a whisper quest. We'll be announcing this in today's news as well, but we hope that this helps the issue with not finding Meteorite Shards in explore when on a quest!
