Cantina Battles and The Missing Shards.

So over the past two days I have been continuing my grind to max star Jedi Knight Anakin. Once I hit 83/85 shards I have easily spent over 300 Cantina Energy on 7-G and have received 0 (Zero) shards.

Still got a couple shards from the DS/LS battles but Cantina a no go!

Then I tried another node to see if it was just 7-G, so far... NOPE! No Shard at all from Cantina...

IS this really RNG super bad luck? Or do I need a Support Ticket here? Because I feel like I am losing tons of shards right now.

Thank You for your thoughts!
  • This seems like a super horrible string of luck. I have been farming IGD and still get shards

    Hope the tides turn for you but if not then maybe try to contact EA/CG
  • Ironically my Chirpa was stuck at that same spot 83/85 for around the same amount of cantina energy if not more. I just kept chipping away at it lol and eventually they came. Now he's like 27/100 so they've been dropping like candy. Now if only I could get the Ewok Scout nodes to drop shards...
  • @Xuichichi Haha! I appreciate you sharing your experience. Gives me some hope. Good luck with Scout!

    @KeKattia I hope you are right. I am losing my mind!!!

    I will give it another day or so then. TYVM
  • Shard drops have been wonky all over for a couple weeks. It has to do with the mod rollout. The mod challanges were dropping the top level mod 100% of the time when it should be the same as other drop rates (about 33%). Problem is when they loaded the fix for the drop rates for mods in thd mod challenges, it affected drop rates all over the game for shards and gear pieces as well. Making them much lower than they should be (about 10% at best or a third of what they should be).
  • My drop rates have been horrible for the last two days on Jawa (2D?). You are not alone, and it was a noticeable drop.
  • This drought has not ended. I continued to have 0 shards through Saturday.

    Called EA Support, and they told me they would investigate my issue. In the meantime I was sent a KB on how to reset my iPhone, close my apps, etc. WOW! Big help!

    But to be safe, I did reboot my iPhone, etc. The only thing I refused to do was delete and reinstall the App as there is a big warning "you may lose your game data."


    Starting Sunday (8/7/16) I have received a total of 4 Shards. 1x Anikan, and 3x Lando. (Maybe less)

    I switched to Lando to see if that would help. Yay! Getting shards. BOO! The drop rate is insanely low. I am easily closing in on 1000 energy and have 4 shards to show for it!?!

    Something is terribly wrong here.
