No use doing anything in new Soltice area until bugs are solved
I went in and grabbed all the wayshrines but am now taking a break from Solstice for exactly as you say. Plus being rather burned out on Solstice after phases 1 and 2. Once the bugs (skyshards for example) are fixed, I'll give the Eastern Solstice questline a go.
