Some sort of update would be nice. Even if it was as simple as giving us the date of a futute live stream that may have an update on the topic.
The "pause" thats in place is likely contributing to the hoarding behavior you actively discourage. I for example, have 16 full 5* relic crystals that I'm just sitting on, cause I have every 5* relic already, with most awakened, so there's not a massive benefit to opening the remaining ones until new relics are added to the pool.
I just started Act 8.3 and the paths seem to be heavily enforcing relic use. Seems like an odd choice given that relics are still in "slowdown" last we heard. I'm also starting to build up 3-star relic shards and it's starting to not make sense to open any more because I have almost every 3-star relic duped. How about an option to trade in those shards for 4-star shards during this period of relics being on "pause?"
Dupes give shards for higher tier might as well open them
we need more relics, there are many champions from many classes that still don't have relics that can be used in any way, especially techs and skill champions
Apologies for the necro, but this was the original thread, so I figured it made more sense to revive this one than to start a new one.
I know you guys prefer not to address topics if there's nothing to address, but the final statement from the original post said "Expect more news in the coming months."
It's been eight months now, with nothing but a very vague 30 seconds during a live stream, and even that reference was several months ago.
Is there anything at all you could share on the topic? Could we expect to see new relics released sometime this year? Should I just pop all these nexus crystals for the sigs and 6* relic shards?

Thanks in advance.
I'm actually super happy to see this. I think relics were at first negatively looked upon by the community but I've personally always loved them and I'm saving for more! They've become an actual staple in the game and as our rosters grow we want/need more in order to make sure all our viable champs are equipped with what has essentially become an essential part of any kit. I love the specific ones ie rogue/gg synergies and I'd like to see more. If not could we at least begrudgingly get the ability to multi equip once each?
Would Kabam consider a community poll of sorts. Maybe one which would gauge excitement and desire for more? I am sure that it is a lengthy process to design them, but I can imagine that 1 or 2 more for each class would be well received.
Glad this post resurfaced. Let's see what the excuse is this time, for letting this issue go ignored for an unbelieveable amount of time. Not a single "patch note" mentioned in the forums.
Kabam's lack of response to this is undeniable.
Kabam: "We don't ignore concerns. We will update when we have one."
Also Kabam: *goes almost 11 months without a relic update*
I don't want to *ahem* ACCUSE Kabam of sweeping this under the rug and hoping we'll go away quietly and forget about it, but it shouldn't take this long for an update on an addition that was made necessary in many parts of the game. How has there not been an update in almost A YEAR? Is this not a priority or at least on their radar?

It's actually been 5 months without a relic update. Not 11. Which isn't much better but isn't as drastic as you're saying

Well let's see that link then and I'll happily correct myself. But yes...5 months is still too long without an update. Those should be made monthly at the least.

I'm not going to go hunt for the stream archives of the 12 days of Christmas streams they did or whatever they called it but it was in there. So 6 months-ish actually
Couple questions: What is the cost to Kabam for the development of relics? And,..do they provide a good return? Genuinely curious,..do people actually spend dollars on relics? When purchasing an Odin bundle,..how many would actually take the Reliquary as opposed to the bundle with the selector,…t4A ,.and 7.5k titan shards?

The live stream reference you're referring to had no information. It was during the end of the stream when they were taking questions from the chat, and Miike said little more than "They're not going anywhere." And "We're working on something.".
That's hardly an update, cause it could just as easily be interpreted as "We're not taking away the ones currently in game, but there's no plans for new ones."
The last concrete information was in fact 11 months ago.
Well first, thank you @Kabam Crashed for pointing to this.
Now that said, it almost creates more frustration. At least it does for me.
First and foremost, when this thread has been open for a year, why the silence here? Official information is already grossly disjointed between Discord, forums, live streams, Twitter, etc., etc. No where in that list are content creators though.
I don't have a "favorite" content creator, cause frankly, I don't really want to watch them, with the exception of tips for specific pieces of content. In this case though, if you didn't specifically point me to the video, I would have never watched it, cause it was a blatant click bait title. It flat out questions if relics are dead, only to later reference your note to him saying their not. So that's the first problem, and perhaps it's just me, but it'd be nice to keep official information on official sources.
The second bit of frustration is in what you actually told him. You said you the game team made a conscious decision to not release relics in 2024 so you could focus on other areas of the game. I don't take any issue with that, as it makes complete since given the overlap in who performs the work.
But why not communicate that from the onset? If you knew you weren't gonna release them in 2024, why beat around the bush with statements like "....in the coming months."
A lot of player frustration could have been avoided by simply saying "There will be no relics in 2024, as we focus on other areas of the game. We'll update you on their direction in 2025."
I guess to summarize, I'd ask to please keep information communicated on official sources, and secondly, to just be open and honest with us. I'd like to think the majority of the community can handle that maturely. Uncertainty, and the feeling of being strung along is when everyone reaches for pitchforks.
Thanks again for the link though. I'll check back in January '25.

An update provides new information. Simply reiterating the same thing is not an update.
You'd serve yourself better by sticking to your usual memes and gifs.
This month marks one year since the pause was announced.
@Kabam Crashed @KabamDORK Can you please tell us something??
