Has anyone else noticed a drastic drop in the drop rates since they nerfed the farming ability? Just today alone I'm 2/40 combined between ls/ds ship nodes. It's getting ridiculous and makes me want to just give up entirely on the game.I got a few yesterday on carth and 1 the day before. But before that i hadn't gotten a single shard since they lowered the count.

It's not less attempts vs less shards. It's percentage of attempts that yield shards. Most people say the drop rate is around is 30% or so. Since the drop in # of attempts, the % (at least for me) has gone way way down. It was at like 20ish or so before hand, but now it's in single digits.

Unlucky streaks are more noticable with less attempts per refresh but overall drop rates seem to be unchanged.

I got 0 shards for Jango yesterday and today as well as 0 Wicket shards today and 0 shards for Embo something definitely is up that has never happened to me before it's bullshit

I definitely “feel” like I’m getting less on the Carth node, but I know that by the end of the farm it’ll be close to the expected drop rate. These past few days of 0 and 1 are demoralizing, but I’ll hit a few days with 3 and 4 and it’ll all be forgiven.

Overall, my rates have been fairly normal. Bit of a frustrating cold streak on the farms I'm getting close on (Jango, HT, SiT), but it happens.

It's random. Dice will be dice.

Ive got 0 for 2 days straight on my hard node, 1 today.
I believe its bad luck for now, but its dam annoying. It makes you feel youre standing still.

Yes tracking my drop rates over multiple characters from hard, cantina and ship nodes.

Carth 3 shards since change
Nest 12 shards since change
Canderous 5 shards since change
Embo 9 shards since change
Poggle the Lesser 3 shards since change
Bane’s ship 9 shards since change
Sion 0 shards since change
Kylo’s shuttle 3 since change
Badstila 10 since change.

Shards are totals since change went into effect. Pretty miserable. Canderous before change I’d receive between 3-6 shards per cantina refresh.

I thought my drop rates were higher after they returned to 5 attempts. Maybe I'm getting all the luck right now....

Same. Just luck I guess.

Actually when it comes to drops I do 3 light and 3 dark a day and walked away with 4 shards when there was 8 sims a day per hard node. I was not doing all 8 and I got more back then, now I do 5 sims per light and dark and get way less drops so I don't think your "less sims less drops" argument is valid.

At least from my experience.
