Please keep comments related to the new packs in this thread. There will be lots of talk about this, with many duplicate topics/posts. Let's please keep the forum neat and orderly by posting here - your posts are still read despite being in a megathread.Thanks.

Was ready to drop money on this pack, was gonna become a baby whale and have a 7* nihilus. But at 1499 for 5 shards I'm going to pass. All the reworked sith are $20 for 80 shards, where as nihilus is roughly $20 for 10... there is no value here.

So now the characters are available in single packs at 1299 crystals each. Worse case scenario it would take just over 4 vaults (let's call it 4 assuming you get a couple 30 pulls) to 7 star just Darth Nihilus, that is £400!!! I have spent a lot on this game until the recent out of control price points on the citadel and tie reaper pack but I still consider £400 for one character to be excessive. If the price had been half that I would've considered dropping the the money considering Nihilus has potential to be a game changer but now I think I will wait till he becomes farmable.

This SUCKS EA! 5-30 Shards for 1300 Crystsls?? 10$ for ~ 1200 Crystals and you get every Time 5 Shards!!! What is this? How mich Money whant You ? 1000$ for one Char? Are You kidding?

So we have to pay €450 per toon. Feels like a hassle to buy so many vaults. Or do krakens have an extra option available? Buy a crystal mine for €1000.... that will be a quality of life update for junkies ;)

They surely must realise that creating some bad feeling towards them from their customers is not a good idea?The move towards out and out price gouging has meant I not have a genuine, bitter dislike for those involved with the game, and it has also resulted me spending significantly less cash. They will kill the game by alienating people like this.

Is extreme pricing and questionable pack design practice that preys on people's addictions/lack of impulse control responsible corporate behaviour or good citizenship?

Is it "Protective and supportive" towards playerswhich is a stated goal in the EA Code of Conduct?

For the record I'm not bashing EA merely asking if they believe things as they stand match up to their public ally stated goals.

Make your own mind up.

With every new release you slowly chip my excitement for this game away pack by pack and piece by piece...

What would you guys suggest? I've got 3k crystals lying around, so I can get 2-3 packs. That means I can get either the Sith Assassin or Darth Nihilus to 4* (they're both at 20/30 right now). Which would you say is more useful?

think about why you have 20/30. Maybe it's generating the feeling, that you just have to push the button twice for 1* up? ^^

Yup not worth trying to 7 star NOT ONE PACK DROPPED MORE THAN 5 shards ever 350 bucks i spend and none dropped 30 shards. So the shard packs are a lie.

In all technicalities they need to change the wording and description of packs because it is blatant false advertising to have shards listed In a pack as 5-30 with a chace to get 30 with 5 minimum

5-30 signifies you can get anywhere in the range of 5-30 not 5 or 30.

It needs to be listed as 5 or 30 or 5/30

I used crystals that I collected for free. I don't mind using them on 2 packs of Nihilus shards (yes, both got me 5 shards each). Not planning on spending any more though.

Didn't get the Assassin packs, hopefully that wasn't a mistake.

Yes, normal gamers expect an average of 15 shards. But actually it will drop just 5 shards. Paying gamers seems to need learn this through pain.

I learned it through purchasing the Krennic-Pack, where I got only 5 shards in all the packs .. for over 200€

You don't need to star him up only if you want to use him in arena

I think I could 3* all dark side battles with him and my sith only
