Hey there, what exactly are you referring to? Because this was definitely added to the game. The player can see "missed embervale quests" at any time when on a multiplayer server, which allows them to replay quests that they might have missed when other people on the server completed them.
There are a few elements of progression that are directly tied to the world, such as upgrading elements of the player base, but that is the nature of any survival game, so I'm not really sure what you'd like us to "fix" there. The way to avoid that is playing in another world.
