Villain Level 40+ pets not real pets?

Shards in my experience is extremely random, I've earned as many as 14 in a speed ITF. Where as in an STF, I'd only gain 2 at times on a normal run.
Once I earned 7 on one farm map, the next day earning 1 after running through 3 instances of the same map.
I wouidn't attach it to patron pets, just play through. Shards will drop when they drop.

As far as I am aware, the Vanguard Merits are drops, and we would not receive partial credit for them. A Boss is worth 3 Merits, so you'd either get 3, or not get any at all. If it looks like you only got 1 Merit for a Boss, it's likely it was actually awarded as a mission completion bonus when the Boss was defeated.|

Either that or the Vanguard drops broke when the Shard drops were added to the tables. I don't know how it would really affect it, but you never know. I haven't really paid enough attention to it lately to know the difference though.

I agree. A boss would drop either 3 or nothing. There is no partial credit on the Vanguard Merits for defeats.

Testing on Shards is gonna require a lot more than 10 missions, the RNG seems to do doolally with those things.
After logging in a few days ago I got 3 in the first mission, and then didn't see any for the rest of my play session until I joined a TF, and even then it was the last AV that was so kind to share.

Yeah Shard drops seem to clump up for me as well. I'll get two or three in quick succession and then nothing for an hour or more.

Well boss definitely dropped 1 because mission was already over before fight started.
Shards I don't know. I know I was getting REAL ticked off after that many missions of nothing though. LOL
Oh well I wanted to check to see if anyone else knew about something like this. As long as it isn't a known issue I assume it is my fault somehow. Isn't a bug until others start having trouble.
Thanks.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.
I don't know if this is a known issue (couldn't find it and haven't heard of it) but I noticed that my Blood Widow Pet is being treated as an NPC instead of a pet.
I noticed when I killed a Rikti Boss in a solo mission that she had been beating on and I only got 1 Vanguard Merit for a boss instead of 3. Now I thought pet damage was considered a part of your damage and things like this shouldn't happen.
Also noticed (although admittedly it is a LOT harder to verify) that once I started soloing missions without her I got shards. With her I got absolutely no shards. Solo at +0 +8 for 8-10 missions, no shards, is about as much test as I can stand LOL. Without her usually get at least 1 shard per mission. I could have had an attack of bizarre luck, I know but that is what I've got.
That is a pretty big hole. It makes these pets completely useless.
