I find Kabam's lack of communication on this point frustrating (but unsurprising). With each new thread on the topic, I keep clinging onto hope (perhaps a fool's hope) that they'll finally clarify the situation.
We're supposed to be getting a dev diary at some point. If the first new relics are dropping in August it might might be a bit early, but it is early June after all
Yep, if this is a completely different item with no compatibility with the current relics, it needs to have a different name from what we have. I do recall that, originally, relics was going to be an all-encompassing term for several different things. What we have now are actually a subset of relics called battlecasts. So hopefully these have a distinct name from that. We have to have a way of referring to these without people thinking we're talking about the "old" relics.
If they are distinct, does that mean we can stick one of them on a champ that already has a "battlecast," so they'll have two enhancements at once?
Relics are a new collectible coming to The Contest in November! The first to be introduced are Battlecasts, a Relic that can be Bound to Champions of the same class to greatly enhance their ability. During combat, having a Relic will allow the summoning of a Striker to lend assistance...
So, stop calling the current things relics generically. They're "battlecasts." If they stick to their original plan, these new things will be relics, but not battlecasts. They'll be a new subset of relics called something else, like "power-ups."

Thank you for that reminder.
But as you said, this was their original plan and, as others have noted, original plans can and often do change, which is why it would be a good courtesy if Kabam clarified the situation, even just in broad strokes.
Stop tagging Pinwheel on things like this and trying to get him in trouble
The new Relics are still actively being developed and aren't finished yet As soon as info is ready to be shared, everything will be shared - but that likely won't first be released in a stray forum comment

We would be honored to tag you but you choosed a forum name that we can't tag (or I didn't find how) ... when typing "@" then the name, the space typing closes suggestions so... pinwheel has no space in his name and I think it's the reason why he's tagged often.
A solution could be to change your name here without spaces ? or a tutorial on how to manage with. Thanks.

You need to do it in quotes so @ "Kabam (Osaurus) Rex" minus the space between the @ and the first "

Or for each space, type in %20 (percent 20), computer language Hex Code for the Space character. (then don't need to use the quotes, which sometimes the Quotes way doesn’t work for me)
You could see in Preview before posting that it should be yellow highlighted, just doesn’t give you the drop-down auto-complete for it.

That obviously comfort me in asking a nickname without space or what HuskerCool said (generic tag). I don't plan on learning to code for asking something here LOL 🤣

@KabamPinwheel help us out bro?
It stands to reason the crystals they spawn from will be cheaper and more abundant.
However, with nothing said anywhere officially- I’m clinging to my unopened relics stash. You never know.
If they are distinct, does that mean we can stick one of them on a champ that already has a "battlecast," so they'll have two enhancements at once?
See the original announcement talking about multiple "kinds" of relics:
Relics are a new collectible coming to The Contest in November! The first to be introduced are Battlecasts, a Relic that can be Bound to Champions of the same class to greatly enhance their ability. During combat, having a Relic will allow the summoning of a Striker to lend assistance...

Maybe ideas to consider to simplify community communication with players here ?
