I think the bronzium thing is they just aren't doubling the drop rates for bronziums yet. Shards obtained from bronziums are still going to trade in for twice as much Shard Store currency. So nothing is being nerfed in terms of what you can buy now.

GW drops ARE getting doubled, so your Shard Store gear farming is still getting a buff.

No the shards from bronzium are considered "accelerated characters" so they won't be double value. At least I'm pretty sure I read that right.

I am re-reading this and trying to figure that out as well. It does seem to imply that they won't be getting the double conversion. If so, that is concerning and hopefully will be fixed soon.

No, I think I was right the first time. Original rate characters are getting doubled in store, it's accelerated rate (ie, double shards) that is not.

So there is no bronzium nerf. They are original rate (shards not getting doubled) so they will have their conversion doubled.

All 33 characters in the bronzium packs are considered accelerated. Original rate refers to drop rate, not original characters. So bronzium packs are accelerated characters, ie 15 shard shop currency, without the benefit of double drops. So there is a nerf.

I suppose that depends on if the tag of "accelerated" for conversion is attached to the character or the node from which it was dropped.

If it is looking at the character, then it is a nerf.

If it is attached to drop source (a doubled node vs non-doubled) it is not.

I suppose some dev clarification would be needed.

True, I would need some clarification to be sure, but given how they specified them as two types of "shards" and used Mando as an example, I think it's safe to assume it's the shards being doubled, not the nodes. Which makes the Bronzium nerf a very real fear and they should address that as soon as they are capable of the fix.
