@EA_Jesse
Thanx for the Info. And congrats to the shard Shop! 1:10 is reasonable. The chromium exclusives keep their value. And the shard Shop exclusive Char will hopefully be a "Gift" to compensate the whales of "loosing" their beloved QGJ.
this shard shop is a waste of time. whales are not interested because you offer them characters they already have maxed, f2p are not interested because we do not have hundreds of extra shards. well done

Exclusive coming in two weeks then whales will be thrilled. How anyone spends thousands of dollars on a game is beyond me anyways.

You are brain dead if you think 1:10 is reasonable, respectfully. . .
In fact if I were the EA guys I would have used 1:10, too. If U want the special exclusive shard shop only char you have to buy chromiums or start better now to collect your shipments....
Otherwise just farm the right char in the other ways

It's a business decision, not a reasonable decision (if you care about pleasing your customers)
1:10 isn't my issue. It's the slowness of the shop. 2 shards a day is just stupid. Without a refresh this doesn't help anyone, whale or not. If they don't add a refresh then it needs to offer a better variety of shards. At least keep my existing 7* heroes out and those that I can farm easily elsewhere.
Lol not like it's gunna matter, you would need 100 spare shards to get enough currency for a 1* character from the shard shop.... Pretty rediculous exchange rate.
I am assuming that this will be an entirely new character. What I am really interested in is what chromium exclusive characters will no longer be exclusive come the patch? I would love even a vague answer on this. Something like "We are moving 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) characters to the various shipment stores that were previously chromium only at the time of the update."
None of them, why would they do that at this time, they just moved QGJ over. Only 8 of the characters are chromium exclusive.
Aayla, Cad Bane, Dath Maul, Grand Moff Tarkin, Kit Fisto, Lando Calrissian, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Princess Leia.
Why would they make a shop to encourage people to buy packs, only to deter people from buying packs and instead continuing to buy cantina/arena/GW shipments for shard exchange since the Exclusive characters can be purchased that way.
Isn't first order tie pilot and a couple others exclusive to the chromium packs?
Or from a farming angle
-I just posted this in the forums-
At a rate of 10:1 I could win First place in Arena every day and get 1.25 Shop shard. Beat GW and get 1.5 shop shards Buy 5 shards in cantina a day on average for another 1/2 a shop shard
**So 3.25 shop shards a day by investing everything I have and getting #1 Arena**
- Suppose the shop exclusive unlocks at 4 starts that's 25 days minimum
- 20 more days to get to 5 stars
- 26 more days to get to 6 stars
- 31 more days to get to 7 stars
Just let that sink in. 102 days of flat out investing all of your winnings and getting rank 1 every day. 102 f***ing days
**Edit:** You can only buy 2 a day, so even if you spend 102 days farming, you'll need to wait at least another 2 months after that to finish
- Suppose the shop exclusive unlocks at 4 starts that's 40 days minimum
- 33 more days to get to 5 stars
- 42 more days to get to 6 stars
- 50 more days to get to 7 stars

Thanks for doing the math..
Im FTP, and the realistic rank I can get is only top 100 (90+ just around the 6pm time) so surely it will take longer time for me..
My 2 cents, 10:1 is a bit steep, but understandable.. Of course I am hoping for a better trade off..
Now for the refreshes, it should be similar to other shops, having 6 hours timer.. It does not make sense making it not refreshable at all.. Hope you guys reconsider this, @EA_Jesse
I've handed in 10 shards... 7 lumi 3 Ventress... I only have 150 share credits though? If it's 10:1 why do I only have half of that?. Am I missing something?

Lol nevermind. It literally just hit me that you get 2 shards.... HAHAHAHAH

LOL. Exactly. Imagine if Xbox or Playstation released a game for $80 or $100. Gamers would lose their minds, yet people are spending thousands on a single game to grant them access to some heroes that one day will disappear from this earth when the game becomes unprofitable and folds. Addiction is a terrible thing.

It is 10:1 so you would need 3300 shards.

Love them nightsisters
Because they can afford to spend the money and enjoy what they receive in return? Seems pretty straightforward.
Yeah i dont get it lol.

But this is having the opposite effect....lol
Poor implementation of a decent idea.

I hope not; I would love for Jedi luke to become a GW character.
