Hard nodes have different shard drop rates?

So I've been farming both Mother Talzin and Nightsister Zombie and I've noticed something: I'm consistently getting more Zombie shards than MT shards. I've been watching it long enough for it not to be a statistical anomaly, and strongly suspect the drop rates of the two are different.

I've had suspicions before (Shoretrooper), but this is the first side-by-side comparison I've made. Is this a known thing, that drop rates on hard nodes vary?

  • They all average out over the long run. If you collect the data, you can see this. Side by side means nothing.

    Can you verify that? I'm not one to be all "woe is me, they must have decreased the drop rate!" when I get 0 zetas through challenges for the entire week, or similar.

    I've been tracking the NS Zombie and MT drops for over two weeks. Not a single day has gone by when I have received more MT than Zombie shards. On two occasions I've gotten the same (1 of each). Since we've gone to 8 attempts, I am getting 1 sometimes 2 MT, and 2 - 4 Zombie (usually 3) shards per day.
  • I'm the opposite, had a great run a week or so ago on Talzin, 5/5, 4/5, 4/5, 3/5. Zombie barely got a shard.

    Then nothing for a few days for Talzin, and at least one a day for zombie. It's all RNG.

    Yeah, I just got 5/8 MT shards today after a two-week streak of mostly 1, sometimes 2. I'll incline to the RNG.

    Others have. If you feel it needs to be verified please record your data over a longer period of time and you can verify it.
