Yes, our topic today is Iridescent Shards. What do you think? Is it easy to accumulate? Need change? vs.

    I feel like iridescent sahards are relatively easy to accumulate with time and patience. I've purchased killers and outfits that way and honestly I have no problem with how we get them right now.

    Easy to get. But takes a while to get enough for the big stuff.

    You forget that cosmetics are getting more and more.

    Since we have way too many skins that cost 21k we need more shards imo.

    As the only way of buying things? Definitely not. If you want to buy everything with shards, then you would have to play for 1000 hours

    As a way to het some extra cool stuff for free? Yes.

    I feel like we should get some on the free tracked of the rift

    Skins are pretty expensive but I rarely buy them so I have pretty good amount banked.

    Is there a cap on shards as well?

    I've an idea.


    Maybe we can have events ingame that rewards iridescent shards. For bloodpoints grinding, devs do a double BP event. So maybe for shards grinding, we can have something similar. Or an event like Summer BBQ can reward shards too for completing special event objectives. In this manner, we can make events exciting, as well as, rewarding.

    I only have one problem with it really. The fact that you don't get more for reaching Devotion levels. In fact, you get less shards for some time when reaching one.

    The increase wouldn't even need to be extreme. Just a little bonus for playing the game enough. I'm almost Devotion 5 (Level 500) and it feels like it doesn't matter at all.

    I want to give my own thoughts on this matter; Shard is difficult to accumulate, but this can be resolved by making changes.

    • Cosmetics and teachable perks coming out of the shrine will be shard reduced by 50% shard.
    • Daily missions will also give you a shard while giving a blood point. (150-300-500 it depends on the difficulty of the task.)
    • The last suggestion is to make changes to the player level system. (Shard amount / desired exp ratio)

    I think they're given out extremely generously at the moment. I'm surprised they give as many as they do honestly.
