Am I missing something a node or something? I waited until the timer was less than 24 hours to make sure. Are we seriously getting 62.5% of a limited character? Is this to force us to buy the last 150? Was this the purpose of shards?
no, yes, yes, and yes
This is what’s known as giving you a reason to keep logging in/driving engagement.
Maybe the next 12 day event has more pig shards. Maybe there will be a bundle. Maybe a special pve or pvp. Who knows?
But everyone is asking about it so the devs are doing their job.
They started by giving us some free shards for logging in. Then Globe Trotting gave us more but not enough for a cover. Maybe on or around the 25th they will give us another set of free shard just for logging in that will give enough to get a cover.
This is where shards will be beneficial if as suggested we get the rest of the shards to equal a cover.
In years past it was a single reward. So like we would be done now. By getting us part of the way we will keep checking in to get the rest.
This way you keep checking in to drive engagement, perhaps spend one of those gift cards you received as a present. Something like that.
And no official communication is forthcoming, so D3 is doing its normal job.
IceIV said there would be more pig shards coming so I would guess the next 12 days of Marvel has more pig shards
I refer to these as Spider-Bacon.
If they really wanted to piss off the player base, they could give out 100 shards as login gifts, and the last 50 as a single prize in a 300 item vault.
Spider lardons if you’re a foodie
No, we’re getting 62.5% of 1/13th of a character.
Globetrotting only gave 50% (200 shards) of a cover. The other 12.5% (50 shards) were from a login bonus.
Considering that we can’t select Spider-Ham as a TH, I’d assume that we’re getting more shards at some point.
that’s a bold assumption.
Shards are indeed in the 12 days thing that just started.
This is my quarrel right here. Now with the implementation of shards, they are now offering shards as rewards thus lower the income of other resources while simultaneously lower the drop rate of getting an additional cover.
I honestly can’t see how with the new saved cover features this is an improvement over bonus heroes.
Every time I see a shard I think about the iso, hp, or cp that we’re not getting anymore.
20 separate rewards to get 1 cover.
That’s a lot of missing resources.
I mean let’s face it, we were going to login anyway. Now we’re just getting less
Does anyone know the node rewards from the last Twelve Days so we know what we’re trading off for one bonus 4* limited cover given out over the course of two(!) events?
And yet…
My best guest is that the previous one node a day events had some iso in each node. So basically we’re losing some iso for a cover (eventually, hopefully).
