I see these threads all the time. Is it possible that they all show up at random and likely equally as often? No, the game is just out to get you, that’s the answer!

I can ballpark my numbers for you for whatever it's worth.

Prior to the chewbacca even i did not have Dengar. I had under 25 shards as I think that's his unlock. Whatever i got was from the random shard via the Galactic War payouts. I started farming him via the shop as soon as the first event ended. I had him 7'd with 3-4 weeks to spare before the next event. FWIW, i did the same with Zam in the same time frame, but finished here with just a few days to spare.

I can tell you flat out i had less Logray shards before starting to farm him (when he shows up). Started before the 3po event by about a week or so. To this point, i have 94 total. That's in about 6-7 weeks. I have that many weeks to go (presumably) before it returns. If that math plays out i'm at 184. On my way to 6, but not sniffing 7.

I'm not going to say it's right or wrong, it's what i've gotten to this point.

I'm in the same boat to an extent with Chewy as well. I've got 6 BH's 7'd, but no Bossk. I'm at 12/11/11/10/10. the RNG on T6 alone was utter BS and i never took down a single toon at T7. But that's another story. At least to get Bossk it's a quantifiable thing and it's wholly 'on me' to do the farm. Sure you have the odds against you with low payouts, but I can farm him 2-3x a day every day etc. To essentially require a toon that you have little to no control over the farm - and to make that farm a rare event is a pretty crappy move. It simply is. Sure, if you've been around a long time you had a good head start. People who haven't don't and it shouldn't take 9 months because the designers want to arbitrarily make it substantially hard by blocking your access to it.

Once i'm done with my Old Republic HM's it's off to Bossk. PITA? Sure, but you know it'll get done in a predictable time frame because he's always there. When you can't reliably farm a shop-only toon inside of 9 months because it never shows - it's just poor design to require that toon.

And lets be clear, he shows up on a very infrequent basis. I like the math that he presumably could show up 0-56 times in a two week span. I'm not sure i've seen 0 in a two week span, but i can guarantee you i've not seen 10 in a two week span either. It's like saying fight odds on Chewy are pure RNG. They're not. It's a heavily weighted RNG like pack probabilities working against you.
