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.
they weren't on the list to be doubled. HOWEVER their shard shop price was doubled so it still is the same ultimately
Sorry I meant double the drop rate. So we can farm them twice as quick like old characters now can be."Sebek;c-2195754" wrote:

I think that just about right.
No Because, you get Double Shards for Most Characters, also Ships and Legendary Chars have Doubled Income
Shard shop currency and shards dont do much for a lot of players. We need thousands of stun guns, cuffs, and kryotech. EACH. Yeah I guess my arc trooper will be to 7 star quick though. Won't be usable until I farm the gear- They didn't double the raid shard drop, the events shard drop, the entry shard prizes... For older players it used to be a great influx to buy with the shard shop tokens the gear they needed. Now we lose on it. Will get only half of the shard income we used to have with these events.

Raid characters give double the Shard shop currency, events like assault battles give double the shards. The only nerf is through full character drops on bronziums- UC-mariogshSeasoned Novice

Yes on the off chance that stun guns randomly drop in that store lmao I knew some sucker would buy that logic. Its hardly a reliable way to farm and kryotech dont show up there.
I’ve got 350+ stun gun salvage from shard store and GET store in the last couple of months.
Congrats I guess? Its still an entirely rng based situation and is in no way a reliable source of gear. Good for you though. Others aren't as fortunate and yet again it does nothing for kryotech
Still not sure what Kyrotech has to do with a post about the shard shop.
I literally said shards don't help a lot of people and that gear was the problem. The whole shard "upgrade" does nothing at all for me and many others. I need gear and the shard shop isn't much of anything
It did help for me
Even tho I also need the gear (obviously) this is an improvement, and I'll take it
This is the first step of maybe a change on the gear economy "Shenanigans052;c-2196263" wrote:

Did you not read the dev post about this a week or more ago? They stated that they are doing shards first to see how it affects gear before tackling the gear crunch for newer players at a later time.
You can choose whether or not to believe them but your complaint, like many others on this thread, could be avoided completely by reading the details of the update before complaining.- perfidius44Rising NewcomerAs far as I understood...
After the update:
Pro:
Double drop on every character that hit the "one year old" mark.
Con:
Full character drops in the bronzium shop are worth half shard shop currency
That's it. All the rest is a temporary "upgrade the client and check your inbox" situation. "Keydash1;c-2196290" wrote:
It is true that the shard change did essentially nothing to make things easier for long time players. But it's important to understand that it also did essentially nothing to hurt them either, most of the negative assertions made early in this thread are just plain wrong.
- The only negatives are that bronzium unlock drops lose half their value, and players who can't handle the math think they got screwed.
- One positive is that helping newer players helps the game. We need a constant influx of new players to keep the game alive.
- Another positive is that even long time players often have old characters they never finished, characters they now need for GLs like Rose or Krennic. I myself never finished Marauder before I changed my cantina farm over to signal data.
I agree. But the bronizum nerf is significant and needs to be addressed.- They should have left the prices in the shard alone. If they had done that it would have helped with the gear crunch.
- I still feel like this update is a short term gain, long term loss. New players will be able to farm characters much quicker, but have no new ways to gear them. You know what would have been nice for capital games to do?
"With so many more characters in the game, we have increased the drop rate of all legacy characters by 25-50% in cantina, fleet, light and dark battles. We will not be messing with any other aspects of the game as we don't feel doing something nice requires us to also punish everyone at the same time."
