    SLEEPWALKER?!
    My first thought was vampires. My second thought was this.

    But since the quote is apparently from Aliens (I'm a heathen who hasn't seen it), I think Mantis is a decent guess. She's even been green.

    I heard this is a 5* character, if that’s true, I don’t see it being Mantis. However, if that’s not true I could see a 4* Mantis.

    I’m still thinking Deathlok due to the Bill Paxton connection between ALIENS and Agents of SHIELD. I’m hoping for Uncanny X-Force Deathlok.

    Sleepwalker would also be really cool, he’s both an alien and only appears when his host is asleep.

    When you tap on the info question mark box for any token, it now shows you which characters will get "guaranteed shards."

    It's entirely possible that's always been the language and I've never paid that close attention, but does this mean bonus shards are live? 

    It would seem to imply that it might be, by saying you're guaranteed these shards every pull, with a possibility for bonus shards. But I'm also not seeing anything to indicate the possibility of bonus shards either.

    The UI for bonus shards was pushed out before the actual bonus shards maybe?

    Pretty sure that's been the language they used since introducing shards.

    i've gotten it twice so far.  Once in a Heroic, got 50 3* shards.  Once in a Elite, another 50 3* shards.  This was only from today's PvE grind... so not many tokens used.

    Are details going to be posted at some point?  There are no in-game odds at all, which seems.... odd...

    I think the odds are probably very very low.  Lots of tokens pulled and nothing.  Several others saying the same thing.  I was surprised to see 4 red posts on this thread, which is good...I guess?  Still, having something go into game with no information on the odds at all even after it went live isn't really showing good communication.   
    Ok update but likely won't make up for all the taxes we've been paying lately (very very low rates) and no communication other than comments pages into a thread.  Swing and a miss!

    I'll post my results so far after the shard bonus chance went live. 
    I opened:
    a 50 pack Elite (7 3*)
    18 Heroics (17 2*, and one 3*, yuck)
    12 Mighty (11 3*, 1 4*)
    1 Legendary

    No bonus shards at all.. :(

    Hey @IceIX, in trying to figure out the odds for Bonus Shards, and it says in game that every pull will award Bonus Shards.  I've been steadily hoarding but people pulling have not been even close to those stated odds.  Any chance we can get the actual numbers and maybe have the description updated in the game?

    as much as i like this game, its starting to feel "dry" for me. theres nothing that excites me about opening the game and looking forward to play. It starting to feel like a chore i must complete so i dont fall behind. i even stopped supporting the game by not getting V.i.p (this needs an update bc your paying for it)  for this month and honestly i dont see the difference with it or without it. i usually dont like to complain but i had to get this off my chest.

    we need something thats new and refreshing to the eyes and competition. they've removed so many game modes i enjoyed, i hope they bring them back. 

    sorry for the rant, just had to say it.

    Thank you devs for the kind message and free health packs! It was a very lovely gesture, and I for one really appreciate it!

    The answer is: no.
