So after receiving 2 Ewok Scout shards instead of the advertised Bossk shards I contacted customer services who have informed me that shards are only a possibility not guaranteed, I know this but felt patronising. After explaining again the mix up in rewards I've been told all rewards are random and some times they can be entirely different from what's advertised. So the big question is. Why have I not received random shards before?

First time rewards and rewards thereafter are massively different. They went through this debacle a while back with the mod rewards from some event, and now they carefully state "possible rewards" in the tab.

Just tell them you do not accept their response and escalate the ticket.

Hi Jenojo, Sorry you've got the run around. What support told you was incorrect. Send me a DM with your ally code and I'll check out what happened with your account. A handful of people tried the node right at the moment the patch went live on their server yesterday and had issues.DS Hard Node 9-B is working correctly and will give out Bossk shards as shown.

Can you provide more details? Packs? Event? It's a bit difficult to understand without knowing where these shards are coming from.

DS Hard node 9-B dropped 2 Ewok Scout shards instead of 2 Bossk shards when bossk was the advertised drop. It's not first time rewards and I've never known first time rewards to be different from those advertised also where else are you going to drop 2 specific shards from?

I didn't even get that. I'm 0-10 in 9B so far.

I don’t think it’s random rewards or first time rewards, I think it’s the wrong rewards. Probably a bug.

I know it's the wrong rewards but customer services are trying to fob me off with excuses. I wish they made them play the game so they can deal with complaints with a little bit of knowledge

Escalate the ticket as the shard drops on nodes are NOT random shards @CG_SBCrumb can you look into this too and confirm its Bossk shards and not either or?

I get it now, ewok scout used to be the character on the node, now its bossk. Screw up on their part.

Yes but CS aren't listening to me on that part even with screenshots. Keep telling me that shards are a possibility and not a guarantee but if I got 2 shards of ES that means I should've got 2 of Bossk instead
