Double Drop Woes

I sim all at same time - 7 or 8 attempts at a time in one swoop. I've been getting 3-5 drops per run (so 6-10 per refresh with the 2x). Today was 8,8,8,6,8 on the 5 refreshes.

OP you just had incredibly terrible bad luck if you used thousands of crystals and got just 1 drop.

I find it really annoying how double drops are put out to prep for an up coming event and it is an absolute fail. I ran 40 Sims using a couple thousand crystals + and I received 2 character shards from the Vet Chewbacca node. This is just ridiculous and unfair, double drops should increase the amount of shards earned but I was getting nothing. Before the double drop event I was averaging 2-3 shards for every 4 sim tickets used.

Has anyone else had this issue during the double drop event?

If you were getting those kind of drops before you can't really complain.

I have been getting reasonable drop rates (compared to what is expected) with the double nodes.

From my experience though if I do a 20 sim and get really poor rng then I don't do another as it is likely that one will be poor too and comeback to it later. I did 60 sims once on something a a month or 2 ago and got 3 total shards, and since then I am convinced that the rng is not entirely independent for each sim. RNG seems to work more in clumps.

popcorn time I like mines with butter.

We need guaranteed drops not just double drops. Double of zero is still zero.

The drops have been normal for me but they are doubled. I think it's funny how people complain about everything in this game. They aren't going to just give out double drop unless they are needed be happy about it and shut up

I would rather see frustrated players voice their complaints than see someone tell them to shut up. This place exists so that people can discuss the game, and that means a ton of different opinions. As long as they aren’t making personal attacks, people should be free to complain here if they want.

shouldn't people also be free to respond to that however they like though? As long as they aren't making personal attacks obviously. It's not like that actually prohibits anyone from complaining.
For the record, i also think everyone should feel free to complain. Still doesn't mean those complaints aren't open for criticism, wich i also think every should feel free to express.
(in a perfect world the complaints and the critisism would obviously both be a little more civil, but it's the interwebz)

dont sim all at 1 time. do 2-3 sims

I guess that is the true randomness of shard drops. I Sim all at once and had better luck than 2-3 at a time. Lol

I guess I’d rather see someone write, “I disagree because...” rather than, “Shut up.” Let’s have a conversation. Express yourself and explain why you disagree. Don’t just try to stop the conversation by telling someone to shut up because you refuse to listen to their opinion.
