I need help, I can't play anymore.

Can someone tell me if there's an issue with the Stronghold spawning in maps right now? I'm not a Lightning Spear player - I sacrificed my fast map clearing efficiency to gain better bossing capability, but now I can't find the Stronghold pillars in maps. I've cleared many rooms in one direction and still haven't seen any pillars, making me feel like a fool. I sacrificed mapping efficiency, and now I can't even get Strongholds to spawn. This is so frustrating! This season provides an extremely poor player experience.
