I apologize if this has already been talked about, but I could not find a thread about this. Also, I could not find anything in the update notes about this.
It seems that we can no longer reset lairs multiple times. I have not done much testing yet, but yesterday, I got 2 Gaping Spider Recluse missions on Dath OP and headed out. Two missions were not too far off (about 600m apart) so I decided to do back and forth to get bunch of meat (its half decent on Tempest now).
I was able to reset the lairs for 2 round trips, but for the third time, I got a message "Mission Incomplete" when I got near the lair and the lair went poof. I went back to the other one and same thing happened.
I am not saying this is bad, and I think wild lairs still reset multiple times (needs testing), but I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this. Us BEs who sample DNA from the same lair over and over, or CHs who try to tame a baby by resetting a lair multiple times may be affected by this.

It worked fine for me on Saturday, I didn't test it on Sunday though.

I've had entire lairs disappear after sampling the creatures around it 3/4 times.

Zadokk, was this a wild lair or mission lair? I was able to reset wild lairs about 5 times, but I believe my mission lair poofed after 2 or 3 returns. I have only experienced this on 2 mission lairs, so I may be mistaken.
And I don't think there were anyone around me at the time. At first, that's what I thought, "err someone just destroyed my lair!"but my rador was showing my mission lair already and normally you would see someone, but I did not see anyone around the lair after it was gone. It was the same for the other lair as well. As I approached the lair, it disappeared into a thin air and "mission failed" message and no one around the lair.

you can only go and sample or harvest from lairs a total of 3 times i believe till they go poof. Its the same with reb missions. You go back and forth 3 times each killing the spawns then the lair vanishes.

Oh so it has been like that all along? I somehow thought I was able to reset the lair almost enlessly regardless of if its mission or wild. I must have been mistaken then. Thank you for clarifying the issue for me.

Yes it was missioned. Also happens when you do it with milking as well.
