Please increase from 5 to 8 for Hard Node

I feel like everything is too concentrated on LS/DS nodes though (Vulture, Hyena, Hux, Sith Trooper, Y-Wing)

They really need to spread up farming locations and use cantina / fleet nodes more

No thanks, that will mean there will be way more stuff coming to farm.

I don't understand your response. How would increasing the maximum number of hard node attempts increase the amount of toons you need to farm? Wouldn't it alleviate farming backup by allowing people to obtain shards faster?

They will not increase the attempts unless they also increase what we have to farm. See: Jedi Knight Revan farm.

Totally agree - would have preferred if 1-2 of these were on the fleet nodes. Although doubling up the hard nodes with old characters/ships has increased my shard shop currency, I guess...

with as rigged as the nodes are to give you 4 tuskain raider shards and 0 sith trooper shards out of 5 attempts I agree 100% it would be nice to get to 8 attempts. at least out of 8 attempts I always got 1 shard or more the majority of the time. Thats why ea/cg puts shards on top of other shard nodes to keep the shard drop rate normal but give you alot less shards of the char that you are actually farming.

Spurious made up nonsense

As spurious and made up as it is, I had to chuckle as that exact scenario happened to me the last 2 days. 0 ST shards and 4 Tusken dude shards each time lol

Oh and definitely don’t want them to bring back 8 attempts right now, given the history of that as stated by a couple people.

is it really though? whens the last they ea/cg gave us a hard node farm without adding it ontop of something else that the majority of people have 7*???

Yes it is and the doubling up of shards just gives you shard shop currency. If they didn't do that you still would have gotten zero of what you wanted.

The rest of your post is a misunderstanding of how drop rates work.

There is an ignore button FYI

Where's the defense of CG?

1) They won't increase the cap unless they disproportionately increase our farming requirements
2) Drop rates are individual events for each item on a node so the fact that there are two on the same node is irrelevant to how many you get of either.

Neither of these statements make any judgement on the merits of the system.
