I saw his loot crystal fly out of him today, it landed on the ground, instantly exploded, and disappeared, dropping no loot and giving no way to get it.

same here - just killed him with a pug, no loot... thankfully we had the bonus chest so it wasn't a complete waste but still, you expect better
This has happened 3 times to me on this run, have not seen the issue on any other boss.
I don't want to start any rumors but it seems like it might be tied to the TR. Possibly a combo of their abilities or one given ability, I am trying to track it down.
It might not be the case though, I think it has something more to do with the "physics" of how items drop from mobs. Some attacks (I think from all classes) can send items or mobs flying when they die. I think this is what is happening in this case.
I will try to keep an eye out for the shard on the next run and see what happens to it, its possible because it has a "health bar" that when it goes flying it takes fall damage and dies, dropping no loot possibly because an "owner tag" (who killed it) does not exist. As I don't know the code/logic behind it this is just a wild guess.
I have done the Dread Vault seven times, and each time there has been no loot of any kind - including an empty chest. Each time, we have bug reported it.
The right to command is earned through duty, the privilege of rank is service.
I just got done with killing the end boss in dread vault, I scooted around to where the shard spawns just before the boss died. I watched it appear then shatter with no one touching it and no loot dropped. It did not fly around or anything, it just appeared and broke.
LOL ... did this Epic Dungeon Tuesday night, and I thought the same thing, until I saw a "Brain Shard" on one side of the Plasma pool where the brain was before we killed it. Simply kill the Brain shard (it doesn't fight back) and the loot drops.
I wish that was the case, it would be easy. Searched the entire platform and nothing, what I saw was it spawn in and then shatter. No loot... About 75% of the time when running this dungeon I don't see a shard (no one in the group does). This was the first time I was able to watch what happened to it.

After running epic dread vault a couple dozen times this past week, in my experience the shard shatters on its own and does not provide loot about 50% of the time. The rest of the time the shard is consistently in the same location and drops two pieces of loot (gear + shard or gear + gear).

Yep, and it would be nice if they can fix it. I keep reporting it but so far, nothing has changed.
The other thing to question here is why do this ridiculously uber long fight for the craptastic loot that does drop once in awhile. The first 2 boss's only seem to drop blue items anyway. I like the fight idea, the zone, the mobs, but I was super disappointed at the loot drop for the difficulty of the fight. Waste of a good Dungeon for a measly Daily 1000 AD for Daily Dungeon.
I really dont understand why this doesn't get fixed. ****ing cryptic must love to <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> their gamers off as they said this was "fixed" in a previous patch. Yet its not fixed, and it still frustrates the **** outta everyone that they waste their night on a dungeon which is worthless. GG

Nah. I did this without TR a few times, no loot whatsoever. A single time I was able to loot seals from the ground near the boss, rest of loot from this encounter, only from chest during DD.
Dred Vault is already a daily quest that gives raw astral diamonds, if they were to give you loot for completing the dungeon too we would all just have too much AD. There has to be a downside to easy AD here.
Decided to see why this boss dropped no loot a few minutes ago and lo and behold I found a 2 year old thread... I guess this bug still exists or is this boss supposed to drop nothing?

Anyone else have this issue?
