Unequal drop rate between Zombie and Spirit event.

Okay, I’ve thought of asking this many times before , after getting ANOTHER 16 spirit shards from the event I’ve had enough and now I’m asking the question. Is the drop rate heavily favoured towards getting NS spirit shards over Zombie shards? I ask because in my experience and many guildmates experience, we always get Spirit shards. I’ve done maybe 15 of those events and got Spirit shards 13 of those times, unlucky for some? Coincidence or design? How’s your drop rate been for Zombie from the event? And yes Zombie is on a single hard node, and yes I am farming her since it seems virtually impossible to get her shards from event. So is the drop rate heavily rigged towards getting Spirit shards, it can’t be a coincidence.
  • Finally today I got 7 zombie! (And 8 more Spirit)! I know it's useless to argue about rng, but if they are really reading these posts, I think it is useful feedback on why these types of events might not be as successful as they hoped. I liked the idea of the wicket/talzin/zombie/spirit events, it broke up the mundane marquee. But horrible communication in responding far too late to the 2 year thread and also letting rng decide which shard drops (past 2 events 50+ spirit shards vs 7 zombie) would be 2 factors contributing to poor participation.
  • I've gotten zombie more than spirit or so it seems. Haven't really tracked it though and I do get both. I'm actively farming zombie for tthe sith raid so more of zombie are welcome. It seems from the responses it's just bad luck.

    Same here, ;)

    Also, got 8 zombie and 7 spirit today ;)

    The drop rates of Zombie or Spirit in this event are identical. You have a 50% chance to get Zombie, or a 50% chance to get Spirit.


    What's the drop rate of dev posts in the Sith Raid thread?


    0%.
  • What everyone seemed to miss is that there was not one mention in this thread about anyone getting 10 of either. Min for the win!
  • Well RNG hates me because I've only been getting Zombie shards since I've 7* the Zombie from Hard nodes. Now I'm going to have to farm Spirit with the scarcer and more expensive Cantina energy.

    Um wait why are people even complaining about the opposite?
