699 Crystal "Group" pack - All chars or just one?
Okay, no clue if the new 699 crystal pack is called "Group Pack" in English, since I'm for some **** reason running the German client and it is the best translation I could come up with. Sorry, if I'm wrong with it.
Anyway, it should potentially yield 10 - 330 shards for a lot of characters. Does it only contain shards for one of them, always for all of them or potentially somewhere between one and all?
I have no idea, since the German description text isn't very precise and could mean all of the options. Any help would be appreciated, since it would make it easier to determine, if the pack is worth the crystals or not.

Thank you guys
That's what I was worried about getting. I was afraid that the RNG would be cruel enough, out of all the options there, to give me shards of the one character I already had 7*. Thankfully it wasn't the case.
35 shards from 3 buy ? well its a joke its like lottery. I got 12 snowtropper from one buy btw. I could buy one more till the end of the event but if its not snowtropper its really not worth so i think i will skip it
I'm pretty sure this model violates some gambling laws out there somewhere.
In my honest opinion? Drop rates are so terrible that even if the claimed '300' or w/e actually exists, you've a better chance of winning your national/state lottery- so if you want to spend money on this game, only do it when the drops are guaranteed.
Shame on the developers and EA for making this, and shame on me for giving it a try.
It's tempting because that's the way it is designed. It wouldn't be nearly as tempting if they published the odds.
Most games that have this sort of shady stuff going on at least split rewards/prizes into 'common-uncommon-rare-ultra rare' sort of a thing so you have a slight idea about the risk:reward. These guys don't even bother with that, which makes a person far less risk-adverse.
With the record amount with 20 not 330
Its really p2w they really should increase the drop rates
RIGHT after that, they advertise the May the 4th Crystals deal for $10. Very dangerous for the easily addicted.
I kinda feel sorry for you in the meantime but still, thanks for taking one for the team !
hah, you quite possibly just increased their revenue by several thousand with this one post, gave people hope.

Pictures, or it didn't happen
Started mid-FEB 2017, and not trying to reach the top.
Can't figure out how to post picture, but yeah. Got 12 shoretrooper the next pack. Not pressing my luck any further.
The 50 Veer shards led me to buy his pack lol. So I guess EA got me there
80 hard node shards, and some starting gear (not that we don't have 1000 of each anyways)... Isn't bad.
They are just testing the water... the other 5 or 30 packs probably didn't go ever too well and they are trying to make it more tempting. 10 shards min is better than 5. The part where they try to fool you is the large pool of characters where you could be getting extra shards rather than ones that are actually the valuable hard node ones.
