ROLO Shards 1 vs. 2?
Was there an announcement that the ROLO special battle would only yield 1 shard per person instead of 2?

Actually it was increased from 1 to 2 to make up for tb's initial plan of 12 hour phases. There was actually many threads asking for it to be increased again to 4 shards when dark side tb came out."Woodroward;c-1865723" wrote:

This is demonstrably false. It helps no one when people blatantly spread misinformation like this.

This is when shards were updated from 2 to 1. TB had been active for 6+ months, DSTB was introduced 2 months prior to this, in 11/17. The explanation for this was explicitly that it was due to LSTBs being cut in half with the introduction of DSTB, so both events would give double shards.
I stand corrected.
It's not blatantly spread misinformation though as you claim. Everything i stated is true except that I had the complaint and the reason backwards.
Your response was way too vehement to be justified by my slight misorder of information.
You made two statements. One was demonstrably false. The other might be true - players might have asked for it to go to 4 - but it's irrelevant to the conversation because it had nothing to do with why the shards were increased to 2/TB.
So no, everything you said is NOT true. In fact, your claiming fake information to be true is literally an example of "spreading misinformation."
There's no "misorder" in your statement, there is only "misinformation" that you still haven't bothered to retract."Woodroward;c-1866544" wrote:

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
;)
Should have addressed that to Lor San Teka. That post is doing the same thing it is complaining of: Misrepresenting things.
Personally I am not a fan of acerbic wit. I find it childish and pedantic.
To rephrase: Jibes are a refuge for the sad.
Chin up though, I'm sure you'll get over it.
I can't figure this comment out. It's either full of humor, or you unintentionally called yourself a sad person."Woodroward;c-1865723" wrote:

"Everything I said was true, except the part that was false, which was all of it."- I think the reasoning is people were banking too much shard shop currency. As further evidence I present the sharp reduction in assault battle style events.
- The actual explanation at the time:
"We will also be reducing the Rebel Officer Leia Organa and Imperial Probe Droid Shards earned in Territory Battles from 2 to 1 as Territory Battles will be more consistent and predictable with the update."
The only way reducing the number of shards received would be a reasonable correction is if the TBs themselves were coming more often. So while they said "more consistent" and not "more often", at best it was faulty logic. At worst, it was purposely misleading. Adding a 3rd TB into the rotation will only mean that each one will occur even more rarely. If anything, they should've added shards (only in comparison to reducing. In reality, they should've just kept it as it was). "TVF;c-1866851" wrote:

And my information is only misordered, not "demonstrably false". You're over reaching in that you're attempting to not only correct but also appear superior.
It is only misordered information not disinformation. The fact that it was increased for dark side tb and not because the frequency was halved is largely irrelevant.
The point is that it was actually asked to be doubled for both of those reasons and if it had kept pace with their original shard acquisition schedule it should have been 4 per mission once dark side tb came out.
So i got which was which backwards, that isn't even close to "blatantly spreading misinformation."
In the future I'd recommend trying to correct without making a show of it. Doing so is a good way to appear petty.
You cannot say you “stand corrected” and also say you were correct. One cannot retract something and then immediately reiterate it and claim that was a valid retraction.
Increasing from 12 hr phases to 24 had nothing to do with the increased shards. Nothing whatsoever. And while players may have asked for 4 shards at some point, there have been zero indications from the devs that random forum posts begging for 4 shards per completion influenced any of their decisions.
There is no order in which either statement you made accurately describes why the devs changed the shards from 1 per player to 2.... And since your original misinformation was only two sentences long, it’s fairly simple to check both “orders” and verify that both are still false.
So instead of trying to cling to the fallacy that you were somehow right, just “stand corrected”, and edit your original post to remove the misinformation. Which is what should have happened the moment you realized you were wrong."jkray622;c-1867081" wrote:

Poor Mrs. Lincoln....
She's quite distraught. I feel she has the vapors! ?- The first post in this thread was my question. The second post was ME answering my own question. How is this still a conversation? Please let it die.
