They've said May in a post previously.

Now.....it's entirely possible that they will miss that for some reason.  But it sounds like we should at least be waiting for the May Sneak Peek to see what that brings.  Or, at least see the actual events that are running then, since the Sneak Peek doesn't always get posted or updated.

HoundofShadow

It's going to be somewhere around 21 May. The next release on 7 May is a 4-star.

'bout the same time as the next update I'd say!

I think the two most likely dates are 5/14 (a non-release alliance event, which would be fine) or 5/28, which is the week after the 5 release, and typically would be the time they have been running alliance events (when they HAVE run them) recently.  The 5 releases with HP store and a normal PVE, and the week later they run a CP store, where an alliance event used to give out tokens for that store.  The question is whether they want to keep doing that or not.  Right now you only get tokens for a new 5's release store by placing very highly in the PVE that is held before it opens.

HoundofShadow

I think it also depends on whether they have restructured the rewards in alliance events. I hope so. 

Michael1957

The past 4 months we get 2 updates a month . The first around the 7th covers days 1-15 of month, the second around the 21st covers days 15-31.

I'll look for that May sneak peak thread sometime in June to get the answers...
