Leak from Game data files: "Congratulations! You are now part of an elite group of players who can trade in extra shards from your existing 7* Characters. All of your extra shards are automatically converted to shard currency every time you visit the shop. You can spend this currency on anything in the shop. However unlike other Shipments, the shard shop only resets once per day and cannot be manually refreshed. Remember, the more Characters you have at 7*, the more shard currency you get when you visit the Shard Shop."Do you have guesses on what to expect? Or do you see potential issues? Chip in with your thoughts...@Naecabon brought up a good point about 8* characters. Whales must be very careful and accept the risks before clicking on shard shops. Going in there means all your extra shards will be gone and if they lift the star limit to 8, you will rage again at the loss of extra shards that could have helped you get 8* characters.

You can exchange 4 shards per day, no refreshes. Good thought. I think it should be 5 shards which is consistent with all their shipment shards.

This is what I think. 400 is consistent currency for other purchases, as well as 5 shards. So basically, a 5:1 exchange rate. On another note, how is an announcement that was made like a week ago by the devs exactly a 'leak'?

I'm curious what toons we will get from shipments, cause that non-crystal resetable cooldown is interesting, especially with context for the new toon... Only hard farmable ones (Chromium?) + him?

Lol nae, history isn't showing us much positives with communication from cg + ea lately. Truthful comment probably would be "We don't know our own plans"

CG, YOU MUST TELL US THIS AND CONFIRM WE WILL NOT BE GETTING 8* EVER

I'd love this too. Won't happen though.

Yeah, if the shard conversion is going to be automatic you better let us know that we will never need those shards in the future.

@CG_JohnSalera @EA_Jesse @CG_AaronNemoyten. can you help address this issue? If your shard shop takes away all shards beyond 7 stars, does this mean there will never be 8* characters? thanks

So basically: unless you're a whale, never even set foot in there. I hope that setup is not actually as dumb as it sounds.
I get that they want to discourage people from just getting one 7* and farming more shards for it, but since the conversion is automatic this means we can't even look around without getting shafted. The forums are going to be filled with complaints.
