So with the release of the new Olympiad system, And hero's being selected every week.. What does it do for the hero's of this month. (the month of august) we are gonna loose our hero's early? all that work we put in the month prior and we are getting cut short? can i get some clarification? @Juji @Hime

We discussed about the Olympiad time changes and weekly hero system with the Dev team last night. The new changes will be delayed to a future update. The use of potions and buffs in Olympiad will be the only change in the update next week. The Dev team's reasoning behind the use of buffs and potions is below:

"Olympiad is content where individual players compete, so the outcome depends highly on certain items that are allowed or certain classes that are advantageous in the game. We have been constantly balancing Olympiad for a long time while running the match in limited ways, but this cannot resolve the imbalance and it is now naturally settled in the game. To change this, we made changes to Olympiad by opening all environmental elements so that players can now be stronger as much as they prepare or invest in their characters. Therefore, the winning rate can be increased according to how players set their characters and the variety of buffs they prepare, regardless of class type."

So now we can spam healing potions in Oly ? this would make mana to run out really fast. Also we can use potions to cure poison and bleed ? As about the buffs .. i can full buff before enter in Oly game ? So now Olympiad NPC that giving buffs is useless ?

You buff before you enter. I will post the list of potions that can be used in Olympiad.

@JujiPoints farmed this Friday and Saturday carry over to patch or will it all be reset?

Points will carry over as the round does not get reset with the update. Only the buff/potion use will be added next week.
