Since three days I have an horrible drop rates with shards on Cantina : average 15%
Exemple : yesterday with the three first refreshs (100/200/400) I had... 6 shards. Waou. And yet, 1 for 5 sims...
Is it serious ?
Did you switch nodes? Part of their April Fools joke is that the 6th page of cantina battles has had the shard drop rate reduced to 1% until the Monday update... Surprise!
I recommend starting an excel spreadsheet and tracking drops. I now have 2 months of data and can confidently say drop rates haven't changed. I have some horrible days (17% on 102 nodes).. However over time, the RNG is 33% (with 5500+ shards attempted)
Yep me too. Since the update hit on Thursday I have spend two cantina refills and every normal generated energy daily on JC's 12 node, including saving over 120 to use when the update hit. I have 17 shards tof show for it. 17 shards. It took me five days of two refills to unlock Ben (using the 8 node), and I have 17 to show for the three days of hard farming JC. Based on a rough estimate that is 3 days worth of energy and 6 refills for a grand total of 90 Sims or 17/80.
Oh and my Rojo God has dropped 6/42 for the week too, Rey has been normal at around 3/9 per day.
I won't say something changed but......3/20 for Dooku and 1/9 for Anakin so far today.....didn't they say they wanna make it feel more "fair"?
IIRC they said they made shard farming more consistent and less streaky. And knowing them they threw in a stealth drop rate nerf in there to make more money off refreshes.

Followed by 2 posts today so far including this one about them decreasing
Long and short of it is some days you get more. Some days you get less. Sometimes you have lots of good days in a row and sometimes you have lots of bad days in a row. Nothing is changing with them

every now and then you get a bad run. Today for me it was jawa, less than 15%. However, I also was running over 40% for Dooku on my alt so it kinda balanced out.
Just because for the last 2 months drop rates have been 33% does not mean they haven't changed in the last week. With that much data it would take a few weeks for the drop rate to affect your data. Long term like that is cool but need to look at it per day individually too. Maybe for 55 days drop rates were 33%, but last 5 they've been 15%. That would indicate that recently it was dropped and 'old data' is almost worthless for the current situation.

hate to bring up Reddit but a dev confirmed multiple times that drop rates do not change.

It's just the Rng. This morning I was at 88/100 dooku shards. I did two Catina refreshes and one hard node refresh and finished my dooku at 102/100. Don't give up and even though it's aggravating keep doing it taking one day at a time. You will eventually get what you need.
Have to admit it's a weird coincidence that Mace Windu cantina shard droprate became atrocious for me, ever since Yoda event started tho.
This. +1.
I know it probably just FEELS this way because I really need to get Mace to 7* in order to get Yoda at 7*, but I got like 3 shards today with 2 cantina refreshes. And 0 in LS battles with 1 refresh on that node. Yesterday was a little better, but not much.

Try not to to use language that gets censored.
(ESPECIALLY in the title.. Cause, you know... It's really noticeable. )
I fixed it for you.
I did my refresh today : 8 shards for 280 (8/28), 22% drop rates is very very very low.
I'm a bit angry.
It happens all the time... Use less ? Marks n ppl will give u serious replies
today: 12/50
yesterday: 21/48
rates go in both directions.
after tracking cantina for 19 days straight, my overall rate is 33.12%.
I hope the drop rates isn't changing according to the date we are...

This guy knows what's up.

Pure F2P at heart
I noticed it in the last 5-6 days
I was able to take 5-6 or 7(one time) dooku's shard , with daily energy + 2 refills.
It's 20% drop rate. And it's a week. It's not bad luck.
Is that good or bad for her?
I just started the day going 1/18 on Landos 12 energy cantina node.
Of course when I only needed 3 shards to 6* him too.
It's really frustrating but that's just RNG. There are days when it rains shards and days when you'll get next to none.
