was doing a crit skirmish in initros N7 and when i went to de-shield the queen i did a few passes on it and the shield didnt budge from 133% again, landed at least one good stack on the queen but no change in the shield's % (with a 2chaos 3gem rag)

i've also seen this happen before in a crit skirmish, i think down in grey space somewhere... i forget where i was last time i came across an indestructable queen

There was a Queen in Latos K-6 the other day that showed a 235,800 shield recharge rate. After destroying all other hive skirmishes in Latos, this queen showed a paltry 217,000 shield recharge rate. When I logged back in yesterday, that queen was gone, as was all hive from Latos. Since the central hive mission in Sedina had changed sectors, either this uber queen did not bolster the Leviathan's shield (or at least not enough to stop the team that killed it) and it died when the levi died, OR perhaps these recurring uber-queens are bolstered by more of the hive than their resident system, and after clearing Odia and Sedina, its shield became breach-able.

We bombed the levi with an 8-person team on Saturday so it's very possible there was a spare queen out there and we made up for it with excessive force. :)

I encountered 2 "Demon Queens" In Itani Critical Hive Skirmishes this week: one in Setali that had a recharge of 172k, and one in Metana at 220k. I then cleared ALL common and small missions so that these 2 crits and the central were all that were showing. The Setali Queen's recharge had come down a little to 170k after losing its support hives, but the Metana one had grown to 250k. I can only assume (Devs, correct me if I'm wrong!) that each time the NPC's lose the mission, with or without players, that the queen shield recharge rate grows stronger. A cautionary tale against allowing the hive to grow unchecked for too long...

We got a team together and took these two out, which was MUCH harder than popping the levi's shield afterwards.

I have found this bug a few times... the HIGHLANDER QUEENs.... but they have no neck, so we can't cut their head off...
A perfect stack of 2xChaos+3xGems makes no change to its shields. No reduction at all.

Only way I found to fix that was leaving sector for >15min, seems sector reset fixes it, and it becomes another regular queen.

Please, do not eliminate the double-queen-sectors... they double the fun and bonus. But fix the immortal queens.

today there's a queen around with 518,000 shield recharge rate, and we've been pickin off small-common HS's left and right... i think it was 578,000 when we started at least 2 hours ago but i wasnt around at the start of the hive hunt so i cant confirm for sure that killing tons of the smaller skirmishes has had an effect on the queen's recharge rate

edit: later on after having continued to hammer the smaller skirmishes in odia, it got down to where there was only the crit in M5 and the other, and the M5 queen still showed 499k recharge rate

we tried the sector reset several times - no change....

As far as I've been able to tell the only way to get rid of them is to get a 4+ player group and bomb the crap out of the levi
