Make the currency exchange fair

Conversion of Chromium Shards to Shard Shop use has a 10 - 1 currency exchange. I crunched the numbers several times on this to be sure. To be clear, 10 shards from Chromium packs will get 150 credits in the Shard Shop. And 300 Shard Shop credits buys only 2 shards. Also, The shop has limited options to choose from, rarely refreshes and could use other purchase options too!

    This is Bryan from your server. I agree 100%. Who wants to give 20 shards to unlock 2. What a mess!!!
  • Hi Bryan, and with GG the 15 to 1 exchange made it worse. I'm way over it now. I've had enough.

    Well man.....with your current squad I can't beat you. GG is irrelevant to you. He can't possibly add anything to what you got going. Good job. Don't use Yoda bro as Rey/Old Ben does it for you. Yoda is a waste when you have such OP toons bro.

    Agree with QGJM. It was intended to use the extra shards in exchange for exclusive shards that you can´t get from other shipments (Cantina/Arena/GW). 10:1 seems reasonable for me.

    Edit: this doesn´t mean that the Shard Shop is good. It´s terribly bad right now. Just mean that the 10:1 rate is not the problem :smile:


    Ok... So fix Shard Shop! But when I think about the fact that a LOT of shards can be earned in missions for free, I guess the 10:1 rate really ISN'T the issue. The real issue is that buying Chromium packs aren't worth it once you've unlocked a certain amount of characters. When you start getting duplicate characters spending a lot of money on packs, 10:1 ratio is insulting.

    4. ANY ONE COMPLAINING SHOULD THINK TWICE - it is far better than before

    Try to see it like a "old fashioned" card collecting game. Every time you buy a pack. There is the Chance that u get the cards you already have (enough) and therefore bring zero value to your deck.



    When I think of the "old fashioned" TCG, it makes me think of when I played VS System. I would typically buy a box or two so I would get all the commons which you need for the bulk of the deck, but then I would just go to an online store and buy the Rare singles instead of wasting time buying packs and praying. I would like to see something similar, in that we can buy whichever character we want and not just random. Open up the Shard Store to every single character and or even equipment and I think it will be more valuable. I've just been hoarding GW shards right now until the patch but if the characters I wanted to buy were available in the Shard Store, I would definitely be buying the shards I want and working towards the character(s) I wanted. Toons like Aayla would be great to have available all the time somewhere.
