Do you have the Sigil?

Batman024

Limit doesn't seem removed for me either. I'm level 67 and have the sigil activated.

DNA3000

Some players are seeing the Glory cap gone, others are still seeing a cap. It might be related to the Sigil: the Sigil does things to some resource caps, and it might be causing an issue here. But it does appear from multiple reports that Kabam is working to remove the Glory cap. I can see the cap gone on two alts (neither of which has the Sigil). I see see it on my main (which does have the Sigil).

Migginsly

this would have been a great solution had they done it hours ago. Peoples glory is already gone..

Doug555

I have the Sigil. I did Not get the cap removed. Restarted the game 3 times…

Jerichoharris

Have the sigil. Still have the cap.

TheUglyone123

Have sigil, still have the cap. Might not have the sigil for much longer

Nope, I have a suspicion it has to do with the summoner level. My cap was 17k

DocWest

I don’t have the sigil and I still have the glory cap

I've never had the Sigil, but I still see a cap.

Now, it might be just happening in batches, but I wonder, are your Alts over level 60? I wonder if they've removed the standard cap, but not the higher caps that come at level 61+...?

DocWest

My cap is at 17k too. Again, no sigil here but I’m summoner level 66 if that matters

baskinrobbinsknows

No sigil, still capped

BringPopcorn

This is so unprofessional, hotfixing everything on the run. People spending glory just in case, others claiming, and others just losing it to expiration. What a way to screw things up

LBN1

I have Sigil, am still capped and I'm at level 64 or 65. Will check again tonight.

Knowing how Kabam work,

They will remove the Glory cap, we all claim our Glory to over the original limit.

And then Kabam "accidentally" bring back the cap 🤣.

Also good to know that spenders not onlu get exclusive Ascension New Champions for a full year before other, but now they also get bug fix before too. Awesome 🤣🤣🤣

Didn't see much about Incursion artefacts though, hope they're included too in the increase.

Thanks

My glory is still capped at 17k

My glory is still capped.. doesn't matter anyways..rewards expired 30 minutes ago for me..

Markjv81

I already spent my glory on raids tickets so it didn’t expire…. This is pathetic.

DNA3000

The Glory cap appears to be set to 10 billion for everyone. This may have been the technical solution to the problems associated with trying to simply eliminate the gap. This may be too late for some, but for those that still have unclaimed glory (or who are worrying about the glory from this week's AQ) it is now essentially impossible to saturate the Glory cap, and it should be fine to claim any glory rewards that exist or come up now.

Snurris

it was good that the cap was removed but what I want to know is why the announcement of that change did not include information about why they didn’t keep the old stores for a period of time like they said?

smy168

I'm not understanding what the inherent value is opening the cap? we can still only convert a small number to Essentia, the more glory we have at the rate we have to convert…I mean…who cares?

I like the thought and idea of 1 key currency model, but feeding it in bits is like not feeding at all.

Sigil, no sigil, open cap, limited cap…in the end of the day….isn't the ability to convert the priority?

This needs a fix and I know Kabam will fix it…but in the mean time, its a little frustrating. open the cap to convert for the first week, let us sort how we manage the new currency then drip feed the exchange…this will clear so much out of the system.

just my 2cents

Peace

If people are still seeing a limit, is it JUST looking at it from a Rewards item ?
Your Treasury screen Limit for Glory should no longer show a limit.

(someone else who said they just woke up, and see that limit, so supposedly NOT from when things went live initially, was on a Rewards screen (not Treasury screen), so may just be visual bug when clicking on Glory icon from a reward area.

There was an immediate problem with Glory: a lot of players keep large balances of Glory and to avoid the cap they buy stuff just after store reset to make room before they collect the Glory from last week's AQ. They are always one day away from capping out Glory and losing a ton of it.

But this conveyer belt only works if the Glory store exists to dump a lot of Glory into before having to collect Glory sitting in the stash about to expire. And when the Glory store was removed, there was nowhere for that Glory to go. Players could not convert enough Glory to get far enough under the cap, and in fact there are players who lost Glory because their Glory either expired or they collected and ran into the cap. Furthermore, because this week's AQ also awards Glory, without a change to the Glory cap all those players would run into the problem next week all over again, so even the players who lost Glory this week still needed a solution for next week.

Technically every legacy currency can run into this problem, but it is vastly more pervasive and problematic for Glory than Artifacts or Tokens so it was the focus of the emergency changes.

I'm still really ticked off that I lost over 4,700 glory to expiration because the cap wasn't lifted in time and they knew this was going to happen. They didn't tell us to spend down all our currencies before this essentia garbage happened and made it sound like continuing to function with our currency utilization the way it used to be would be fine with the trade in and new store which wasn't the case. I also don't understand why nothing was done for BG currency when it is still running and handing out rewards I'm maxed out for too.
