Eidolon Hunts mixed rewards

[(PSN)paaaaaaint]

Hey guys, apologize if this has been asked, i did a very brief search as it is late at night and just want this out there.

 

Been doing Eidolon hunts with my friends and after we finish capturing the third one i always have 1 less of each radiant and briliant shard than they do. They have told me they have not heard of any reason that this should be happening other than that i am missing the pick up.

So naturally im knocking out the obvious options first

1. i am now absolutley checking to make sure i have not missed any pickups ( i am not)

2. I am cross checking with what they have after each eidolon falls (only matching on the first)

3. we are successfully completing each hunt with more lures than required have 4 or 5 on the last every time charged and linked

 

my friends end the mission with 4 brilliant and 3 radiant each time we are fully successful i however end with 3 and 2.

 

any help on this would be awesome as they say they have not heard of any reason.

 

Thanks

There is some kind of exploit, that allows you to duplicate shards on altar. From my experience, if you place a shard on altar and it somewhy disappears (so you have to replace it with another one), then be sure - you will find extra shard in your mission reward. If this bug happens for Gantulyst summon - you get extra Brilliant shard, if for Hydrolyst - then Radiant.

I've never bothered discorvering how this exploit really works. For me it happened several times, when I got first to altar, placed my shard while on archwing and quickly fly away for extra lures. After coming back with lures, sometimes I found, that the game actually didn't register my shard placement and forced me to place another one.

update:

+1 Brilliant from Teralyst capture

-1 Brilliant for Gantulyst summon

+1 Brilliant +1 Radiant from Gantulyst capture

-1 Radiant for Hydrolyst summon

+2 Brilliant +2 Radiant from Hydrolyst capture

Total: +3 Brilliant +2 Radiant - anything extra is a bug/exploit

I always finish with 3 and 2 as well.  Thought that was the regular drop rate. Am I missing something too?
