The 5 days is a pain actually, since to get the 1800 shards needed you'll need to either spend a lot of time (or consumables) or get lucky with the slayers.
I'm currently playing it safe going after the lower ranks, and hoping to get a decent rating through sheer number of attacks.
Biggest disadvantage shards have over Colo is the lack of extras to get from the boxes, which did help a lot.

All in all, I'll probably be able to get everything from Shards, but I do prefer Colo better.

I appreciate the opportunity to get any cards you missed last shard event...but I feel like if you didn't have the chops to get them last time you probably won't be able to get all of this event's cards plus any of the old cards. They didn't discount the old cards very much at all.

Since they are offering old cards on new events, it would be nice if leftover shards from the previous event would carry over, even if you could only apply them to old cards.

The only thing I like about Pero Sharts is the music. 'Nuff said.

I'll be gone this weekend so I can't participate anyway.

Another EPIC FAIL.

I find it a decent event, although the bonus for going for higher rank players really is too small to make a difference if you're gulping down puddings like no tomorrow.

Def wins still pointless (no bonus) and shard isn't scaled with ranks. Win anyone = 1 shard. If this was scaled we will see less complains about this event.

And if they're offering a SEC as ranking reward is because they will use us as guinea pigs (as happened with first shard event) or something worse will happen with next perogambit.

P.S: And a new macro thread will appear.

I hope that shards events turn on a new kind of quick event, not to replace perocolo.

Why? Well I prefer percolo boxes, you can get much more stuff, special mention to permanent consumables for future events, and a decent amount of SR cards, not as much as obtained in SEG events, but much more profitable than gambit.

The good point is that you can obtain a good amount of EX card once you get the exclusive cards, the worse part, at least for me, is that usually take place during a weekend, when RL hobbies (X-Wing new wave, Magic prerelease, friends...) don't let me use the focus properly XDDD

I never played colo i would have like to play it but well i like shards so i cant complain plus is the fairest event of three i have played until now.
