Shard shop

This change is garbage for older players. Players who've been playing the whole 5 years and have every character get jack. Did the war store double? What do we get for our devotion? We get screwed.
I haven't spent a dime since CGs "big new game mode" that is galactic challenges, what a joke. I don't plan on spending until they get their act together and give us something new and exciting to play. STOP with the gear increases and carrot chasing.
I've been playing since day 1 and this might be the end for me. Happy 5 year anniversary indeed

Barely doubled. 10 shards from a old characters is 150 currency. 4 shards for an old ship is 152 shards. Dont buy old characters with it if can. Use it to buy ships that you have 7*. Still worth more then the characters

Ships have always been "worth more" then characters.

This change is generally net neutral for older players, with some drop in bronzium being the biggest hit. All shops and node farms are balanced to have the same buying power.

This change now makes farming older characters take half the time.

I think something is wrong here. If you buy shard in other store for example, the guild store or arena store, you don’t get double shard, now those shards are simply worth 1/2 in shard coin as the shard store cost are all doubled. This can’t be intended.

Wait for stores to refresh and you’ll get double the shards.

How is increasing shard shop items helpful?

Because they doubled the shards you get, in most cases, which makes the cost increase a wash.

Doubling shard drops is to help newer players grow faster.

That's how it's helpful.

It is look like same as previous but it just look like not same. Because they increase drop rate double from nodes and bronzium but not full character drop from bronzium. And also how about in come shard from raids. Did they increase amount of raid shard. There is no benefit for older player and not same like previous.

Games say that is enough for old player, you are played a lot and stop playing and leave the game. Open the way for new player hahaha :)

This game is disgraceful lets help the player base by doubling everything in the shard shop absolute ****'s.. back to regular CG one step forward 20 steps back... 720 for 4 pieces of gear is a disgrace they should be ashamed of themselves. Their constantly ruining this game ???

Lol, They Doubled the Shard Income too

They did not double the currency in the shard shop so if you had 10k saved now that's only 5k worth of stuff now. They should have doubled the currency everyone has. This feels like being robbed one day you have half what you had the day before...

This is the equivalent to making zetas 40 each and doubling the zeta income... Anyone who had zetas saved gets robbed. Sure u can earn them at the same rate moving forward but if this change to the shop was done really because bronze packs and then wanting to limit the bronzium shard shop cash flow they could have done that and still let us keep the value in what we farmed.

There is no reason not to double the bank of what everyone had saved up from farming. Leaving the bank the same and doubling the cost screws eveeyone out of half of all our farming.

This is bad for just about all players across the board. Only the people who spend everything they get everyday are minimally effected.

They did double what everyone had.

I didn't get it.... Is what I thought after checking the stores to see what all the fuss was about because I remember them saying it would be fair....

Had to restart game and yes they did I see it in my inbox now. I see no issue here, I just jumped the gun and complained before checking my inbox then I saw my 50k shard shop message... And it's all good now.

Old ships shards in GW store are not doubled at all, and those were the only ones I bought.

Yeah I really don't understand why the didn't double old ships too.

Ok, but their conversion rate seems to be doubled...
