"Wild Rose" Tall Tale suddenly disappeared while we were on it?

    I'm going for the 5 Wild Rose completions, so this is super annoying.

    We were on our way to get the second memento when I went to my map wheel to reference the book again, but nothing was there. Went to look at the map table, and the Tall Tale was gone. Our first memento, which was also on the map table, had disappeared.

    I was in-game (not AFK) the whole time so I can verify that we didn't server merge. No one disconnected. The boat didn't take any damage, and we had no PvE Kraken/Meg/etc. encounters.

    If we're going to be unimaginative with the commendations ("do this content again 4 times to artificially lengthen game time") can we at least make it so the quest doesn't suddenly drop on you with no warning?

    I've had this problem on "The Stars of a Thief" except I got a prompt saying I lost one of the quest items which auto failed. There was no server migration and the gem was on my boat as I was headed to the next area to get the last item. I inspected the boat for the item but it was gone as well as the quest Book and spyglass obviously cause it failed. I wonder if another crew finds the same tale quest item and the same location if it fails other crews.

    The comment about "unimaginative" was uncalled for frustration towards a bug. As much as it sucks, the content is solid and they went as far as making the some of the quests have multiple locations which was more than I was expecting so playing them multiple times is not the issue.

    Edit If it helps at all I stored the Tale Item in a chest as I traveled. I noticed that the new open chests sometimes look as if they are in water while inside the boats hull. Maybe the game thought the item was in water and de-spawned it after so long.

    Agreed it's "unimaginative" to have us doing the same things over and over and.......over.....again. Imo. I'd rather have something completely different to do but hey for those that enjoy doing saying 94 Athena voyages which each are just one huge voyage consisting of 8 regular voyages then to each their own.

    This is why no checkpoint system is kind of ridiculous.

    Instant back to beginning fails on the Tales was a mistake
