To be faIr, the missions aren't "new", they are just rehashes of the old ones.

But to actually expect new content at this time would be optimistic to a fault. ..
It's new gear though. And I like gear.

It was the wintership mission with the epic modifier. Ran it alone, kind of enjoyed the challenge of needing three different damage types and the fact that getting hit at all basically meant death.

Got this, which was nice to replace my blue helmet. Was planning on picking up the FWC helmet this week though.

Wear whatevr mark you like, Queen's Rep goes to the queen regardless.

Oh snap!

I wonder if that's worth reading into or not. Doubt many factions in the City (besides Dead Orbit) like, much less trust her.

Wear whatevr mark you like, Queen's Rep goes to the queen regardless.

There is a Mercury joke in there somewhere.

As of right now, the rep gains unlock rewards with the Queen's Guard merchant in the Tower. She has some emblems/shaders/class items, and a rare scout rifle, auto rifle, and hand cannon.

There are more items in the database though, so I imagine it might change?

The legendaries are rewards for completing the surprisingly easy Kill Order missions that should be a joke for any level 24+ with elemental damage

The Queen's Guard gear can also feature Strength/Discipline, and every piece seems to be rolled randomly like rares and uncommons.

I think all the Queen gear is a couple Light points lower than an equivalent set of faction armor.

Ran it three times, four if you count one where I was kicked back to orbit due to a server error.

Join a friend when they're right at the end of the mission and you get armor when it finishes. Lil' Blue and I were stuck on the last boss of the Black Garden. He's only level 22 and I was 25. The level difficulty was 24 with epic and maybe something else on. After we died a lot we invited Sonofmacphisto and got it done in the next try. He got armor just for showing up.

Okay, so in my frustration at having that simple mission taken away from me, I did something that I felt pretty skeezy about. I entered into new Queen's Wrath missions until I got the Riksis one again. Basically I felt like that was the original one that I received, and a failure of netcode or routing shouldn't prevent me from playing it for the Queen's mission. And at the end I got the Legendary armor.

But now, there is nothing to prevent me from doing that each time to get new Legendary armor. Just quit missions until I get Riksis which is many many times easier than the other missions. I hope Bungie can patch this, because it is very clearly gaming a small side effect in order to circumvent one very difficult mission.

That's entirely your prerogative. If your entire goal is to get the gear, not play different versions of the campaign missions for the challenge, then go ahead and spend the 3-10 minutes it takes to find the easy mission. It probably would be faster to do the given missions (none take more than ten minutes, except maybe the last boss), but whatever you prefer. Heck, I'd say just join a friend who's doing one (it tells you) and reap the rewards that way.

But going after the Gate lord solo with Solar Burn was intense, and terrifying (fear the Hobogoblin snipers).

Also, today's Daily is really fun on the hardest difficulty. Definitely one of the more "Halo" missions.

I am a little disappointed that there are no new missions, but I have to say I am really enjoying these missions with the modifiers on, reminds me of playing Legendary Halo with a few skulls on.

Nghgh! I couldn't finish my first mission for the Queen... a Mars mission, and though I could handily match blows with Legionaries those wee Psions were kicking my [hindquarters] because they had Void shields and moved too fast for me to hit with my only Void weapon, a fusion rifle.

-- Steve'll give those missions another try, of course, but cautiously... he can't really afford to replace a controller should it be flung off the balcony.

I beat that one, it had the solar damage modifier, and I have a great sniper that has solar damage. One shots the Psions, and the Phalanxes when you hit them in the hand (since they don't flinch in the mission).
