In Hotfix 5, we made a few changes to reduce the effectiveness of a humbling number of economy exploits. Activities Missions Reduced drop rate of engrams following a hard wipe [fixed in 1.0.1.4] Queen's Wrath Event Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items World Destinations The Hive of the holy “Treasure Cave” have realized the futility of their endless assault on Skywatch and have retired to lick their wounds and plan their next attack. Respawn timers for monster caves in Skywatch have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 6) Respawn timers for monster caves in Forgotten Shore have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in Ember Caves have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in the Shattered Coast have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10) Respawn timers for monster caves in the Barrens have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 20) This post has been promoted to an article
no point in doing the queen missions if you are fully upgraded, they just made that 100% pointless if you dont get the shards, only reason high levels do it!
