Feel free to speculate about the release date to your heart’s content!!!
Thank you for a wonderfully detailed write up @Lyrian.

That’s a rather excessive nerf. Event keys are already a massive pain in the hiney to get and not all of us are sitting on 6-digit Glory reserves. Please reconsider balancing around those not sitting on bloated resource piles.
Additionally, what are folks suppose to spend Glory on if they don’t need any more copies of the weekly troop or its associated Arcane? I’m genuinely curious and would love an answer to that. Spoils of War actually serve a useful purpose. (No, I don’t consider trading 25 Glory for 40 Souls or 30 Glory for 1 Treasure Map to be useful.)

Sorry, missed the part about Pan’s Vale - what’s wrong with it now?
GW is next week so the update will drop for sure.

You guys should be ashamed for that Spoil of War nerf.

Personal opinions incoming…
The problem here is that Event keys, which cost 15 gems per key (base price) are able to be very freely obtained for only 180 Glory per key. Income “power creep” has led to a point where Glory is a lot more common then it used to be. Which, when exchanged for mass numbers of Event keys, can yield near-riskless Legendary and Mythic troop pulling. Event keys are supposed to be rare and not freely exchangable like they currently are (assuming one can withstand the tedium of buying one key at a time, hundreds to thousands of times over and over).
That’s not healthy for the economy of the game at all and the change needed to happen.
I do agree that the change technically obsoletes Glory for many late and end-gamers, especially in combination with Orbs of Wisdom. That leaves no real end-game resource to farm outside of delves for treasures/shards and those are locked to three runs per day outside of Faction Events.

Can’t you buy glory keys with glory? It’s been years since I had 0 glory keys so I can’t remember.
This spoils of war nerf doesn’t sit well with me. Why nerf this when people are willing to throw money at old weapons yet can’t.
Nerfing spoils of war isn’t going to be an increase of income; it’ll just encourage less interaction in the game and to be excessively frugal to the point of not playing the game to avoid spending resources…

If one is feeling masochistic, one could farm gold in PVP, as that will contribute towards guild tasks or faction Hoards (for any player who is active in the underworld, gold and not treasure troops is the limiting factor). However, this risks burnout; it takes a special mindset to want to grind PVP for the gold—and/or a fast team that pretty much plays itself.
But I agree that this change moves Glory into the same pile as souls, traitstones, and gold keys: resources with finite sinks (at some point) for active players. I understand the reasoning, but am still unhappy with the change.
Finally! 10 char
Same pile as souls? You can still try to pull new mythics with glory via glory chests.

I agree with souls and traitstones there is nothing to use them on but gold keys give gold that can be given to your guild and gems that can be used for almost everything and glory can still be used on packs to get glory keys, gold keys and gold plus glory can be used for glory keys.
Regarding the 10 limit glory pack for event keys, i get the need of the change but not low number of purchase. Hell 50 a week limit could be a starting point.

I agree with you that this is probably 505’s view on the matter.
That said, personal opinion incoming 
I am absolutely sick and tired of “BuT tHe EcOnOmY!!!” being the basis for so many nerfs. Obviously the game is profitable or it wouldn’t still be running. The only players this hurts are endgame players or players who are able to churn out a lot of PVP to be able to pull in a flow of Glory to support this purchase, and if they are able to put in that amount of time, they’ve EARNED that privilege. (Note: I’m not one of them, so I’m not trying to save my own resources.)
We get new event after new event on a freaking stamina system designed around sinking previously unheard-of numbers of gems and daily events that encourage more play than ever…but now we get a nerf that effectively says, “play less”? Oh wait, they only want us to play a game mode not tied to a stamina system less…yeah, I see where this is going…
I think every experienced player knows what’s going to be nerfed next. No, I’m not going to spell it out, but nerfing it would give 505 a lock on every single type of resource gain other than Gold (LTs were made largely worthless almost two years ago), Glory (which is going the way of the dodo soon in terms of usefulness), and Souls (already worthless past a certain point in the game).
When that nerf inevitably hits, I’m gone. 505 will have gone completely away from “player focus” and fully toward “cash focus”, and the very thing that originally drew me (and my money) to the game will be dead.

Great, was expecting an easy way to buy hundreds of spoils of war. Now I have to burn through 500k glory. Not fun.

I’m not a fan of potions feature. Especially cumulative effect from multiple Tier VII. It sounds very P2W to me. I don’t feel GoW as P2W game, but it may change with 4.3 update.

The modes affected aren’t PVP. It’s not P2W, it’s “pay to get more sigils, and we’ll throw in a convenience potion while we’re at it”. I strongly suspect that the benefits of additional sigils at that tier outweigh the cumulative benefit from the potion.
50 seems much more reasonable. Going from unlimited access to just 10 seems a bit draconian. A more moderate nerf would be more digestible with an eye on a further reduction in the future if necessary.

It isnt?
New delves events (but actually also the weekly one), for the silly amount of 4k gems (after buying first 6 tiers, tier 7 only cost 100 no?) you can have +280 to all stats, well, at least the completionists now can get all delves done.
I don’t care about PVP at all. I only care about delves, ToD and GW.
For any delve, you can buy enough tiers and finish lvl500 with faction team. You need only gems for tiers.
In ToD I already have 95+% winrate on floors 25+. With potions, I will win them all and it will be mindless grind, no fun at all.
Yes, it didn’t affect GW, but GW is only every 4th week.
