Just leafed through the many awards for Strange Sights and all the subs and placed top 100 for the whole event, but no Galactus shards listed?! Did anyone else experience this? Of course, it’s pretty much impossible to check unless you keep a running balance of shards, which I don’t… ---

The shards didn’t show in the rewards pop-up, but I did get them. No idea if it was the right amount as I know I had almost 300 shards yesterday and now have 300. ---

The rewards screen has been acting weird for a while now, at least for me. Sometimes rewards are in there several times, and at the same time there are rewards not appearing but still being rewarded. Well, I’m just assuming this is a visual bug or the 6\* shards getting rewarded 3 times in one event is maybe worthy of a CS ticket. Probably a Unity thing though. ---

Thanks both. I’ve been noticing double awards for many things for a while, but I never actually get the double awards, so yeah I’d say it’s a visual bug. Ok, I’ll assume I got the shards. It’s entirely possible! ---

It is _beyond ridiculous_ and _completely inexcusable_ that the rewards popup is not complete accurate and reliable. This has been the case _since June_. If I was a newer player that alone would be enough to make me find new things to do with my time. ---

I got the shards as it has left me 15 away from a Big G cover. ---

I was top 25 in Level 9 and received 2 lots of 10 shards. I’m 500 shards away from my 2nd cover. I know patience is a virtue, but this is taking it to extremes. ---

I got shards for my first cover and can’t decide between blue and black. Purple is pointless? It does feel like a 6\* should have 3 colours that are all important to roster but that isn’t the approach taken here I guess. ---

Purple isn’t pointless, it’s the cover that lets you harvest AP from cosmic tile matches. But you won’t be making many cosmic tiles if it’s just down to those repeaters…
