New Quality of Life Improvements:
1. The game now saves your Challenge lineups, which means you don't have to switch toons in and out every time you attempt a Challenge.
2. The Characters screen shows the number of shards until the next star level, as well as gear images.
3. Shipment Gear is now Color-Coded.
4. Power is displayed on the character side bar instead of showing the character level twice.
5. Bronzium Data Card Screen is updated.
6. Chromium Data Card Screen is updated.
7. Credit Mega-Pack Screen is updated.
8. New and Improved "Find" Functionallity! Makes gear farming much more intuitive.
Shard Shop
The Conversion Rate is 1:10.
1 shard = 15 shard currency
300 shard currency = 2 shards
*You do not get a better exchange rate if you have more 7* toons. This is a myth.
Players will receive 6 shipments daily, each with 2 shards of a random character.
*Darth Vader shards can be bought in the shard shop.
The shipments cannot be refreshed and are therefore only available once per day.
This is what my shard shop screen looks like:
Jedi Event starts on Thursday. Currently, the only available events are for credits and droids:
Bonus Energy is Here!!! Players will receive 45 energy 3 times a day for a total of 135 energy.
No new Character Pack as of Yet:
New Damage/Health/Text animations and HP Steal is working!!!
This is what the new arena screen looks like:
The is what the new home screen looks like:
This is what the new Light Side/Dark Side/Cantina Battles screens look like:

They said they were going to add it later.
Pretty sure you can only exchange shards for characters you have at 7 stars.
Yes, always 15 currency regardless, always 300 currency for 2 shards.
Everyone must get something different. I have Ahsoka, Dathcha x2, HK, CUP, IG86.
Assuming easiest path is GW....Say we complete GW that's 15 shards = 1.5 exclusive shards per day.
It's in iOS right now
I have 2 characters at 7*.
So do I.....
Can you elaborate on this please? Does this mean we are going to get 12 random shards per day...for free?!
PS I am ecstatic we can farm Vader shards now
No, it means you will have the ability to purchase 12 random shards per day, using shard shop currency. Shard shop currency is gained only by cashing in shards of characters you already have at 7*.
You wish....
Correct. The amount of 7* toons doesn't affect your exchange rate.
Oh ok. The way it was worded made me think that, but now I see it is a choice of 6 random heroes that you can receive two shards for by purchase.
Jeez. I correct people's writing for a living, so my brain reads things at face value. They meant some thing very different from what they said, then. I wish game companies had actual writers proof-read their stuff.
No new packs as of yet.
Nope
