HeroMart Calendar Class Update

Last week, the in-game version of HeroMart returned, along with new variants of our 2011 - 2018 calendar classes. I had hoped we could release 2019 - 2021 this week.

Because of a few unexpected timing issues and high-priority backend fixes and changes (like Facebook Login breaking, the HeroPoints query, and setting up one of the future challenge boss fights, and more), the team wasn't able to work on adding in those classes.

Currently, they are on the schedule to arrive in early August. We will keep you posted if that changes!
