I have completed the Flight of the falcon event, but the total shard count is 25 short of 7 stars. Is this normal or did I run into a bug at some point? I looked for other locations to find the shards, but I can't find any.
I agree. Even a shard exchange. Like exchanging Reva shards for KAM or any of the other guild raid heroes. I had literally just unlocked KAM before ROTE came out and now I'm stuck either joining a lower guild that runs Geo LS or spending currency in the shop for 2+ years to get him to 7 stars and I have a Reva at 7 stars…
There is no matchmaking. There is no algorithm or logic to create "even" matches. There is just a global leader board based off your SR. You are matched with the 7 players next to you on the leaderboard.
