#Failed Shard captures should create shard dust.

I believe that since we spend actual money on curing shards and they fail at capturing an illuvial, shard dust should be returned as a result.
That way, the player doesn't see it as a complete lost of a shard(or the money that cured or bought that shard). With time of saving the shard dust from capture fails and deconstruction of desired shards, a player could eventually collect enough to create a master shard.

I like this idea. Makes sense as you could imagine that when the shard capture fails the shard must break and its already in the drone so it logically could collect the remaining dust

I would also like to have a chance to get shard dust and increase the master shards to 1000x shard dust.

As long as it is a low amount of dust returnedI think it's a great idea.

No. I think it should be half or even less. I hate that i lose my shatd capturing but on the other hand it is the risk of not only losing the Illuvial but also the shard that makes the reward feel greater when I do capture. I don't want to see Master Shards become super easy to get again, which they will if we collect all shard dust.

So, we could raise the cost of Master Shards again but that feels daunting when you see it on the screen.

I would prefer to get some shard dust back as a way of being able to just gave the feeling that it wasn't a complete loss.

I also think it just makes more sense that some of it is lost in the battle.

I already wrote about this. I completely agree with this proposal. When the shard breaks and we get nothing, it’s a casino. There must be a consolation prize (so to speak)
But as far as I remember, this conversation boiled down to the fact that if the shard does not work, then it is better not to give dust, but to increase the chance of the next attempt on the same illuvial

100% this. Feels bad when you have 3-4 resplendents fail , if that was on main net thats $10 usd roughly down the drain. It would be good to get something from a shard breaking. Weather it be an increased chance of capture for the next shard attempt or some shard dust
