2 bad nights of shards....

JediLeriche · February 11, 2016 8:23AM

Last night : 19/80 (23.8%)
Tonight : 18/76 (23.7%)

Please someone tell me that they are having much better luck and that the shard drop rates weren't turned down? Just so you don't think I am whining about a couple of bad days, I have data for 4 weeks and these were the 2 worst days by more than 3%...

I went 8/34 (22.5%) going for mace shards....

It's been horrible for me since iOS update on Tuesday.
I usually get 35% at least for Mace, now its 8% on 150 pulls in last two days.
They know we are farming Mace for Yoda challenge so they lowered the drop rate.
Those ****.

been experiencing the same thing got 8 shards out of 42 battles used to be around twice that much clearly they stealth nerfed drop rates which is ****

I made a bug report about it. I hope it gets looked at.

five2zero · February 11, 2016 10:15AM

same here, they want to sell there jedi pack.

Vodo · February 11, 2016 10:21AM

1/12 for Ahsoka yesterday and today

Stebercam · February 11, 2016 10:46AM

Went 4/39 for Mace this morning, so close to 5 star as well...

DingleTingle · February 11, 2016 11:51AM

Maybe it is a coincidence, but the shard drops on everything today was down for me (except cantina). zero to 1 shard drops out of 6 to 9 attempts on various characters. Usually I get 1 to 4 shard drops on 6 to 9 attempts.

Vibryk_Comyn · February 11, 2016 1:27PM

It's been pretty ridiculous across the board. I was really excited about the Yoda challenge but now I can't even build a team. Big surprise that they released a Jedi pack the day before...

CaptainPlatypus · February 11, 2016 1:36PM

You're getting a 22.5% drop rate for Mace? You lucky SOB

My drop rate over the last few days has been shocking for everyone (particularly Mace) except for Dooku, who I have suddenly got 4/6 from for the last 3 days after months of 1 or 2/12.

RogerMoore_007 · February 11, 2016 1:43PM

Yep me too. Noticed it straight away since I'm farming JC and GS which did have great drop rates. Not anymore

RogerMoore_007 · February 11, 2016 1:44PM

All I can put it down to is they are giving us free energy a few times per day and because of that have reduced the drop rates

And the free energy doesn't even help because I can do hard nodes just 3 times a day (without refreshing)

Lightside47 · February 11, 2016 1:48PM

Second day in a row I got 2/25 for mace. I believe they turned down all the jedis. ****!!!!!

darth_mol_eliza · February 11, 2016 2:12PM

Mace with 3x cantina refills and 3 hard mode attempts the past 4 days:
Monday - 14/51
Tuesday - 15/51
Wednesday - 16/51
Thursday - 16/43 so far

AbysmalDarkside · February 11, 2016 2:52PM

isnt it obvious they did all this so we get desperate and spend money, first they made the event Jedi Only knowing the majority of us didnt bother farming any Jedi after lumi or JC (well because Jedi suck in this game). Then they make 2 new jedi available a week before the event (bariss & QGJ) but they add them to a jedi stacked cantina shipment/node so even if you want to farm you can only pick 2 specific jedi one from nodes one from the shipments. Then they lower shard drop rates across the board For jedi to coincide with there overpriced bundle that is ironically a pack for jedi shards. Its a cash grab of a game right now anybody that didnt farm jedi from day one or didnt spend money arent getting yoda & who knows when the event will roll back around. By then everybody who pays money will have him & hes currently op based on his moveset

RAYRAY · February 11, 2016 3:10PM

It is certainly an anomaly but today I was 5/6 for Rey shards on the two hard modes. If only it was like that every day! I was 1/6 yesterday.

supachai · February 11, 2016 3:17PM

I taught it was just me. I have realised my shard drop rate has been down since 2 days ago. I went 2 of 12 yesterday on Luke.

Blev08 · February 11, 2016 3:28PM

I went 7/17, 41%, on Mace this morning, I got lucky. There are days where I go 2/22.

I'm still six shards away from him, though, so earliest I'll get him is tomorrow if I'm lucky. However, I'm expecting a really bad drop rate tomorrow as it always seems the closer I get to unlocking a character, the crappier the drop rate gets (I still need to do the 3 Light Side battles, so hoping they will help me out with a shard or two today).

Drefen · February 11, 2016 5:35PM

1 shard today for mace in 34 runs.....

Never had less than 10 a day before

tune · February 11, 2016 5:43PM

Seems to me if I take a larger sampling size other than a day or two, like a week or two, my drop rates are actually better than they seem at the time. I may have a couple days of 10%-20% drop rate, followed by a couple days at 50%+ drop rate. Seems to all equal out in the long run. At least for me it does. Peeps seems to notice the bad runs a little more than the good runs.

Dario · February 11, 2016 5:48PM

Iam refreshed 2 nodes for fotp 3 times each and got 1 shard.. I only need 5 to 6* him very bad luck..

five2zero · February 11, 2016 5:57PM

It's not bad luck, it's EA rng design.

Maarek_Stele · February 11, 2016 6:17PM

I posted this in its own thread, but yeah:

I know random is random (blah blah) but this just seems straight up shocking.
Dropped 300 cantina energy (full, + refresh, + refill from leveling) into the Barriss Holotable mission, which is about 25 missions, and then did the 6 Hard nodes for Barriss. Got a total of 3 shards. (2 from cantina, 1 from nodes.)
