With the new boss incoming, it sucks to do it halfway through just for you to discard because you want to do other boss. Recently, I do sanctum of rebirth Hardmode and got all the way to Nakatra. But Nakatra is just way too hard so i want to take a break from doing it again. I went to do some ED run and they ask me if I want to discard my progress of Sanctum of rebirth.

I could see the reason why ED1,2 and 3 share progress because they are like a "package" when they released, but for Zammy and Santum of rebirth to share progress too, that's weird. Both of them released on different date, was not advertised together, and are in a different part of the lore.

In my opinion, dungeon boss itself should not share progress with other dungeon boss as they are not related and this changes could be a big Qol for the new PVMer. I hope J-Mod could take a look at this and consider changing it to not share progress. Sorry for my bad english.

This is due to how the dungeon system (dev naming convention) was created for what you know as 'Elite Dungeons'.

Both the 'Zamorakian Undercity' and 'Sanctum of Rebirth' make use of this system, but with additional features such as enrage, unique reward chests, different group sizes, etc.

The dungeon system will continue to be used going forward for content of this type, and while working on the Sanctum we definitely discussed decoupling the save state data so that you can progress the dungeons independently however it was out of scope for the project in the end.

We have a task in the backlog to look at doing this at some point in the future.

TL;DR - Yes, we agree that they shouldn't share saved progress, and would like to resolve it at some point.
