Shard Shop Joke...

Five minutes a go in a town far far away...

Episode IX
Revenge of the F2P

Our hero walked into a shard shop. Looked at the overpriced shards and said "****?!?!?" Six out of the seven characters were characters already owned and didn't care for or characters he had already maxed. The only character yet to join his galactic empire was general grevious to which our hero had no interest in acquiring...

Our hero decided to write an intergalactic message to Hutts (ea,cg) to request a change to this shops menu... No one wants to visit a burger shop that only serves the same burgers everyone else can get anywhere else for a marked up price. Big Mac $22.99, Double Whopper $25.99 or Baconator $29.99.

Our champion begs the Hutts to change this to make it more interesting. Offer up shards that can only be acquired in mega packs. Like Kit, Maul, Bane, Secura and those whom are a hard grind like Vader, Gun Di, and so on. It can still be 300 for 2 just the characters that can't be acquired.

Even though our hero knows the Hutts cares not of the requests of such a small person, It would greatly improve the business in your shop.....

    Common, of course he does. Thus, if they let him, sample a new character he can't get any other way other than two shards a day or mega pack he may buy a mega pack or two. Just in hope leveling that character up. Or he may stay with the game longer cause it would take him a year to build them up lol....

    Man my thoughts exactly. I mean seriously I trying to level Anakin and Rey and I pray that when I wake up they will be at least in the Shard shop and/or in shipments but nooooooo I get uganauth CUP,RP, Captain Phasma, Han, Talia, Jedi knight Guardian well you fet my point. Characters that are easily farmable from other shipments or cantina nodes shouldn't even appear here we should get hard Node characters like Anakin,Rey, the Ewoks, RG, Ima Gun Di, etc and definitely keep vader in there. If they added chromium exclusives I wouldn't complain Ive been wanting Aayla for a long time

    Trading would lead to selling. Not going to happen

    With a whooping 90 of shard shop money I feel it will take a while to unlock GG... :-)

    The key is to only farm the shards you already have 7*s for (cantina, ls, ds, arena and gw).

    If you do that everyday it will take you 80 days of just 600 arena credits, 1200 gw credits and 400 cantina credits to acquire him (18k shard shop credits). That time is reduced based on ls and ds farming and the shards in the bronzium packs. I dropped from 80 to 50 after 10 days from lucky rng. I am now down to about 14 days to go.

    They just need to give the possibilities of some of the harder to farm/chromium characters. GW has the possibility of giving Aayla/Maul/Kit/ect, so why not the shop designed for people who are leveling the easiest/normal to level characters to 7*.
    Agreed that seeing all the easy to farm people here continuously is a joke, especially putting $100s into the game to have a 4* 50/65 Aayla that is useless unless you put more money in for the randomness of never getting that one character you want and receiving more shards for 7* toons that are everywhere, converting it into chump change.
    Vader is the only thing worth it right now, and I assume by the time I can actually get him to 6* in 4 months and spend crazy currency at the shard shop doing so, they will come out with a "Vader event" the next day.

    Guys, don't bother for Grievous, only a few will have him 7* which is when he's viable for arena. Others will have him in dustbin like me, have him at 5* lvl 2 )

    They could at least exclude from the Shard Shop those characters that we already have at 7*. Shouldn't require a lot of coding.

    I kinda agree with ya but what if saaay you have only a couple 7* guys and it gives you the opportunity of farming another decent toon u don't already have. I don't have any idea how the shop works as I don't have any 7* but it's not only one character at a time is it?

    More power to you guys. I'm just not motivated for GG. Throw Kit or Secura in there and I'm gonna be all over em. Small progress with them would be better than no progress at all. They are just keeping the bench warm or part of my suicide squad.


    I am curious if I bought Luminara shards from the shop if it would then make her go away for a while. Seems when I get Vader shards from there I don't see him again for like a week.

    Because you dont have the shard shop is why you can say that now. You need 10 shards of a character that you have already 7* to be able to obtain 2 shards for a diffrent character that you haven't already 7*ed so lets say if you can get 5 shards for Ahsoka in cantina shipments why the heck would I want to pay for lets say 10 Luminara shards to get 2 ahsoka shards from shard shop

    I want to talk to these people and find out what grand idea it was to put in characters in the shop that nobody wants.

    Spending 300 shard shop currency for 2 shards of ResistanceTrooper is well worth the investment!!! ;)

    I don't even get him... I was going to. I get characters I have maxed or no interest. It's like the game knows what I want and just doesn't wanna give...

    I think they set the value correctly at 10:1. But they really a need to remove GW and Arena characters. Cantina and Hard nodes only.

    They also should add the chromiums into the rotation if you unlocked the exclusives through Chrome. Not sure how difficult that would be to code.

    In my shop I get more Ashoka then I can buy and the occasional Rey. Vader just once. The shop has allowed me to get on track for 7 star Yoda Persuming the next event is 4 weeks away.

    Once a week there is someone worth buying. Today there was a RG I bought. Last week there was a Vader.

    Considering there is no one worth buying atm in cantina or arena, it's better to get 2 shards with 1600 currency than to let all that currency just sit there.

    Look at it this way. You get enough currency in GW every day to max farm any one character in here every day. So any more currency you have in there at the end of the day is just sitting there doing nothing and the only other way you'll use it is if you spend it in shard shop or somehow want to farm two guys at the same time from the shipments.
