Soul orb issue

[Bob]

Can't say I know the intention behind how this works or not, but on my main character I noticed that soul orbs respawn, but show up as gray and simply give me a stone. Great, I figured it was for other characters or something on the same world.

Then I make another character and start on the same world. Turns out all of those gray soul orbs stay gray. So what is the point of these things 'respawning' if they can't be collected by any character again, what so ever?

Is this intentional, or a bug? Quite disappointed that I can't recollect those soul orbs on new characters.

that's probably a bug...
I used two different characters on one same world, but they collected soul orb differently...
if the soul orb turned grey for both of them, then most likely both of them already collected that particular soul orb..

Not the case for me. I just made the character and have yet to get a single soul orb on this new one lol; they have all been gray

Will probably just have to make a new world and at least collect crap on it

The Orbs do not respawn. They turn grey after you get them and only give a stone afterward. They only time they have respawned is after each update. Then I have been able to collect again. You can make a whole new world and have them there again. I have done this once.

the soul orbs do not respawn, but they did for me after the last update. Be happy and dont worry. Most times you only get a stone on the soul orbs you picked up before.

Based on my observations:
Soul orbs are become stones even if you change maps because the locations are bound to your character.
I haven't done another character but it's possible they are bound to your entire account. Why would you play with anothe character instead of progressing on a single one?

But they all respawn after around 100 days in game, since I picked them all again from the starting island after 100 days.

I believe updates seem to be resetting them rather than actually respawning naturally.

With that said, yea, the main issue I have is that they are gray to a brand new character on the same world as my main/first character who did collect them. I was hoping my new character(s) would be able to progress on a pre existing world.

Only issue now is that I have all the blueprints but still have 30% or so of the map unexplored. But free is still free.

I've had them respawn after so many hours of gameplay. I had thought maybe it was an oversight, but when you first pick it up, it's fine, then close the game and go back, it'll be a piece of rock and shouldn't make noises, but if you stay playing for several hours (like somewhere in the 4-6+ hours, they do respawn (or they did when I played the game last which was a couple days ago.

If you play multiplayer it seems it forgets which orbs and challenges you have completed on your current character.
