Per Holyroller:

Launch Storm Legion is one of the main focuses going on right now behind the scenes. Other updates and projects are being worked on internally, but as usual aren’t ready to be dsicussed.
Inrepid: Greenscales Blight: (TL;DR)
It doesn’t sound like the speculated Oct date (for now) is going to be when IGSB will come
Salvatrix – The current intention is that we will tackle those various bugs related to 64 bith ealth pools internally after Storm Legion on Prime gets out and we can let the changes sit internally for a bit and catch myriad things that will break. The unlocks us to [finally] release IGSB and look at potential new raids. We have future raid ideas, but the health pools have been a thorny wall.
RoughRaptors – Part of why IGSB was delayed was that while the switch was already made to 64-bit a year ago, it caused a lot of issues and broke a lot of things to that point where he was blocking designers from doing their work because he would have to fix a lot of those issues. The decision was finally made to delay it until they’re all ironed out.
Planar Disciples:
  • Can’t change appearance like Race.
  • It has the same wardrobe options as you.
  • You can’t name them.
  • They run around and kill stuff with you.
  • They will have a single soul
  • Planar Dungeons are not finalized in regard to whether or not players will be allowed in with you or if they’ll just be you and your disciple
  • The current plan is that they can be used anywhere except raids. (subject to change)
  • Targeted as end game level Pets.
Question: Will the disciples only have 1 soul and you just pick between each individually calling to play with at any given time?
Dead Simon Answer: Yes we are looking to have one for each soul. Whether they all launch at once or not is undecided. All subject to change of course.
Other:
  • Extra Life will take place Starting Oct 19th at 10:00am and end on Oct 20th 10:00am.
  • No plans for a 7th/8th Minion slot, but they can look into it.
  • They plan on looking into releasing more power packs similar to the recent Maelforge one in the future in regard to value.
  • Store changes are coming, but they will be rolled out over time rather than all at once.
  • In regard to confirmation for the new raid that was mentioned last week: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/310047867?t=31m50s
