Is the Iredescent Shard shop coming out with the DLC?

Well, I grinded for the last two days and I just reached 990 Iredescent Shards. Now I'm not if I should keep them at 1000 or spend some Blood Points and transfer 550 of my Shards into new ones, as that would require me to play 55-60 matches before the shop gets released. Do any of you guys know wether or not the shop will be released with the next DLC, and if it doesn't, wether the Shard cap will be removed preemptively?

    You probably have enough time to grind out more Shards. The PTB is coming soon so the DLC probably won't be for another week or so.

    I think it's still in talks whether or not the cap will be removed, but it should be. This way they could make certain cosmetics really expensive, perhaps even introducing rotating limited time cosmetics that are super expensive.

    I imagine the shop will come out with the next DLC though. The game is in desperate need of something new.

    Honestly I’m more excited for the shop than the new chapter lol I’d be so disappointed if it didn’t come out with the new chapter especially since june was being so hyped up.

    Honestly it's not worth saving them.
    Get the 200k BP with what you have because when the shop comes out/IS changes happen teachable perks will cost 2000 / 2700 shards instead of the current 550/750 (according to their blog post which also confirms the changes are in the June update). They won't reset what you have, but they won't be worth as much unless you want a small head start for the cosmetics.

    They are probably becoming more expensive because every non licensed character will be free. So realistically, the only perks on the shrine should come from Laurie, Michael, Leatherface, Quentin, Freddy, Amanda, and Tapp.

    They're also increasing how fast you earn IS supposedly. So it should work out well enough for June.

    If they aren't adjusting already earned IS though, it's better to get the perk/BP from it before the update hits imo. That 1000 IS would be worth nearly 400k BP prior to the change, but only worth ~100k after if already owned perks still only net 200k BP from the shrine.
