· Sale on Crystal Bundles – Only on Star Wars Day can Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes players receive 25% more Crystals when purchasing any of the Crystal packs available, limited to one of each pack, to use towards Data Cards or Shipment Crates.

    Double rewards sounds great although if its by mode, I highly doubt they will align with the daily guild mode requirements.

    The regular shard rate was around 30%, so we can probably expect around 60% on shard drops.

    In similar games, it would still be 30% but you would get 2 shards each time you hit.

    This is how I interpreted the announcement as well. It didn't say double your chances but double your rewards.

    See i am way appreciative but it could entice people to spend money on crystals because its a no brainer given the deal is so great. Im saving cantina energy to see if it works past one round of energy. Or if refresh is cut off then i would be way ****:).

    This is how I interpreted the announcement as well. It didn't say double your chances but double your rewards.

    The percentage would still be 60% if they made them drop 2 shards instead of increasing the drop rate. That is how percentages are calculated. (Shards/Attempts)

    Even spending money on crystals wouldn't be worth it, because the increase in cost doubles and essentially cancels out the bonus you receive.

    Pretty sure it's going to be 30% for 2 shards, not 60% for one.

    No, you have a 30% chance to win 2, not 60% to win anything. Are you sure you know how percentages work? Each time you hit sim, you have a 30% chance to get a shard. This weekend, you have a 30% chance to win 2. Not sure where 60 comes from.

    I am entirely sure how percentages work. If you deplete all your energy, you will have a certain number of shards per attempt. If the previous drop percentage was 30%, and you double the shard drops, it becomes 60%. I'm not going to write a 10 page thesis on the subject, but I encourage you to try out different examples to satisfy your curiosity. Here is a starting point for you...(#shards aquired / #attempts)*100. This will give you a percentage or drop rate for each shard. Math tip: If you double the numerator, it will double the result!
  • Options
    Semantics. The argument here is successful attempt rate (wins / attempts) vs. return rate (shards / attempts). It's silly to argue this as they are different metrics, but when people refer to drop rate, I have always taken that to mean success rate. If the reward was 4 shards per win, would that make the drop rate over 100%? No, it would not.

    Also, none of this has anything at all to do with "how percentages work".

    I would prefer getting two shards at once so I know that EA didn't **** up.
