    Welcome to the forum.

    Collection event shards do not reset the pack counter for the guaranteed shards at 500 pack opened. 

    I hope this answers your question.

@Asmodeus566 @Seperate heirloom question... I already had 150 unspent shards, now I'm looking at the 4th anniversary event and there is a checkmark on the shards image. Does that mean that if I unlocked all of the event cosmetics I won't be awarded the shards because I already had them?? Thank you.

    @xlreightx 

    I have the same possible issue as I am sitting on shards as well.

    I am going to ping one of the other Champions I think he answered this question in another thread but I am not sure what the answer was.

    @hayhor could you be so kind and help us out here?

      @Asmodeus566 Curious if you have the check mark on the shards icon on the anniversary collection page? Thank you for the reply and fwd. I'd like to get the anniversary packs but without knowing if I'll get the shards in the end it's not nearly the same value proposition.

    @xlreightx I'm almost certain you will still get the shards at the end. I unfortunately cannot get onto the game for like 5 or 6 days to see if I have the check mark.

    I'm going to raise this question up further.

    The other guy was asking if he bought these if they could still get them in a random pack, which is possible. There is no 150 shard account limit.

      @hayhor Copy thank you elevating this up further... Eagerly awaiting word.
      As I'm sure you can imagine, buying all the packs and not getting the shards would be quite..... Frustrating.

        @xlreightx Hey there. Coincidentally I happened to have an account that didn't unlock the collection event yet, and which had unused shards sitting on it. 

        My collection event also showed the checkmark, so I guess it's faulty logic there and the checkmark just looks for the existence of unspent shards on your account. Minor bug but an understandable point of confusion. 


        Anyway, I went ahead and completed the event and I was correctly granted the shards, so you should be safe to do so. If you are going to complete the event, be sure to do so while it's live, delaying and opening the packs later can lead to issues. 



        The only possible problem I foresee is in the edge case of you having all Heirlooms/Mythics already. The logic as of the last shard-granting event was that you should only be able to stack enough shards to buy all of the current Mythics, and one more. I assume that this is updated to "all current Mythics +2", but I haven't seen it myself and don't want to present my assumption as a fact, especially when there's money involved. 

        So if you don't already have all Mythic items, there should be no problem. 

        If you do have them all, you can go for it but please let us know how it goes. If you get stacked up to 300 shards, great. If it somehow doesn't work, we'll look into it.
