Summarize your bug I have been trying to farm Bastila Fallen daily for a month. I have been getting 0 shard drops for entire weeks in a row. After all that farming and grinding she is still at 29/30 shards. Only a little higher than the number I had unlocked her at.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Farm for Bastila Fallen

I could provide a screenshot of her being 3* and still 29/30 after a month of farming. But there would be no point.

I am sick and tired of not getting any drops for weeks at a time on her. I mix up my farming to see if different amounts of sim will make a difference. 2-3 and sometimes all 5.

What a waste of 100 energy daily that I receive nothing back on.

I expect failure most of the time. But why is her drop rate next to 0%? A single drop every other week is not acceptable!

Another thing I have observed is that every year when you do the double drop event around this time. The drop chance for shard drops noticeably gets lowered around the month before. By noticeably I mean they are regular random drops every few days. Then all of a sudden, nothing for many days at a time!

I complained about the same thing last year when I wasn't getting the right amount of drops from another character during the event.

It sounds like you are having a run of bad rng. How many node refreshes do you do a day?

Also, drop rates do not change during double drops.

I don't do node refreshes. I prefer to use my crystals on journey guide packs when I can afford them.

@EN6A6E Thats not a great strategy, but you do you I guess.
I just tried her node, got 8 shards (so 2 drops since its event rigt now).
The waves of rng are unpredicteble, sometimes you get 100%, sometimes you just get credits and training droids.

It’s just CG being CG. Every single so called double drop days are the absolute worst if your farming toon shards. I did 4 refresh’s farming for Palpatine’s shuttle on 5/4 and got absolutely nothing. That’s 250 crystals straight down the toilet. And you can’t tell me it’s just bad RNG when a new toon such as Piett becomes farmable on the same node as another older toon because the odds are about 10 to 1 that Piett doesn’t drop but once or not at all in 10 sims.  I could go on and on about how awful it is to make any progress in SWGOH but I know nothing will ever change.

@Exploeri I would bet money that you're Bastila Fallen is already at 7 stars and you no longer need to farm her.

I wouldn't be complaining about the noticeable change in drop rate for people trying to farm if it wasn't a thing. Every single player trying to farm anything notices a change.

@crzydroidWhy would I waste crystals on refreshes when I know there is not a chance for me to get more shards? I am not the only player who is having this very real problem.

Stop trying to discredit my problem. You are not being helpful.

Typical AHQ_Official trying to blow this off as a nonissue. You can really tell what they think of the playerbase when they do this.

Players have tracked the drop rates over time and the claims you are making are not true. You can try removing your tinfoil hat and take a statistics class.

Sometimes, yes, you have bad luck. But you were also focusing on these particular shards. Did you pay as much attention to the double drops that you DID get but maybe didn't care much about? Refreshes would increase your sample and thus increase your odds of a drop. If you do the refreshes consistently, it is a much more economical way to farm than buying the 5-330 packs, which will most often award a low number of shards costing you more crystals than even shipments would. Sometimes you will get runs of 0, but other times you will get good drops as well. In the long run, you will end up paying fewer crystals.

Then you're agreeing that the drop rate is * because of statistics. Getting a single drop in a week is not acceptable odds! Going weeks without a drop is not acceptable odds. Refreshes or not, if it takes me 40+ tries to get a single drop then your statistics can go shove it. Statistically the more often you farm the more likely you are to get a drop. Same goes for the probability of not getting something for so many runs in a row, the odds keep increasing. At some point you are supposed to eventually get something. After going for weeks and getting next to nothing I've had it. The casino has better odds.

Getting double drops on a farm that has been consistent this whole time wouldn't matter because I already expect to get drops from those farms. In fact I like the pace of those farms because they're predictable and fair!

It sounds to me like you don't know what a journey guide pack is. They are not 5-330 packs. Maybe you should actually read what I wrote instead of making assumptions.
