    Wasn’t that announced like a week ago ? I can’t remember where but i read about the 2 days double drop last week. Not sure if it was a message in game, a forum post or something else.

    Isn't even more bad, then? They announced it already on forums and it was in datamine a day before the ingame notification appeared? So why don't they also announce it ingame earlier? It is no secret and if you click it away you won't miss it when double drops are live

    Yeah, seems weird to have not done the in-game yesterday. But not surprising that CG is bad at communication.

    Also a bummer that the rewards this year are so much worse than last year.

    I guess the reward is that Darth Malgus made it into the game

    Anyone who isn't brand new to the forums should know by now that (a) double drops have been happening in may and november and (b) datamines will tell you most everything you need to know ahead of time.

    Is that ideal? No. But it is what it is.

  • So just to clarify, right now the rewards for May the 4th are
    -Double drops for two days
    -A free calendar that gives you 5 shards for capital ships.
    And the May the 4th Plus Package is
    - A pack that offers 330 shards of a random character for 5000 crystals. [side note: for any other game you would be able to pick the character, especially considering that the players with this many crystals likely don't need most of the characters.]

    Are we getting an inbox full of gear and resources like normal?
    Maybe their gift will be a long post communicating things like the next phase of the gear economy changes. That would be the greatest gift they could give outside of double ship drops.

    Careful. They could make a long post and explain what gear change "will come the next month or so"

    So technically, what we get ON May 4th is 5 GG shards and double drops? Doesn’t seem right.. there has to be a mail gift surely?

    For most of us the calendar is just shard shop currency. I guess they will us it for GG shards.

    That 5000 crystal card is really tempting. It states equal probability across characters.

    Rather less tempting if you have 23/28 characters at max stars already.

    Most importantly though:
    HOW MANY CWC SHARDS ARE WE GETTING?!??? :D

    Sure then, if you ignore the other days for the calendar that given to us for May 4th, you're right I guess.

    The SWGOH Events server has a datamine for a reward message, but doesn’t know the contents. It’s weird that there’s no official communication though.
  • My guess it is a free digital copy of “The Last Jedi”

    It’s not weird it’s normal, even when we had 2 CMs and not 0.5, we still barely knew what was going on.

    Can anyone tell me when the double drop rewards starts and when the 25% extra shards starts.. and will it be one of those silly deals where you have to buy a shard pack before you get the extra 25%

    Double drops start 12am your game time (ie, when your daily reset is)

  • So there's no gear listed as part of the inbox gift. I hope that's just an oversight because it'd be a bummer if not

    It's consistent with last year.

    But they added an omicron mat!

    Ah looks like you're right, I must've been thinking of the November gifts. That's too bad but fair enough
