Ever since this latest patch, I've noticed two of the Mysterious Pearls for "Catching A Wave" have been completely missing across multiple zones. I've only noticed said two because I always just follow the same route of six; the two spots where they're missing can be seen here:
While not some earth-shattering horror, given I can just... bypass those two missing locations and go to two other Pearl locations, I raise this out of concern that other Pearls may have been deleted for no reason as well, and Catching A Wave is enough of a boring "run around and do nothing" slog as it is without these awful, slow-respawning little opalesque nuggets of abject torment being even more sparse.
For comparison, seen below is a Pearl still where it's supposed to be.
Edit from 2 days later:

The route is
supposed to end right next to the UNTIL Defender and SOCRATES terminal, but because two pearls mysteriously just don't exist any more... well, you see the issue.
Update from the following patch-day: the missing pearls are now back in place, which means either this was a bug for sure and is now fixed,
or somebody exploited Leaping Flames (or a similar effect) to kill
(this can be done) the same two Pearls across multiple zones and none of those zones collapsed until patch-time, which would be... weird, but far from the weirdest form of trolling someone's implemented.
