Title pretty much says it all. I recently downloaded the newest version of the play test and they didnt include warlock or sorcerer that I'm seeing. Am I correct in assuming this or am I just blind and they are elsewhere?
Yes, they removed the sorcerer and the warlock. The most recent version has the cleric, fighter, monk, rogue, and wizard.
I honestly haven't been playtesting much but I noticed this as well, was there a particular statement issued or certain problems commonly found that casued their removal? The current incarnation of the "core 5" classes don't seem spectacularly altered from last time to be deserving of renewed focus.
They're changing a lot of spellcasting stuff for the NEXT playtest, so they held off on the sorcerer and warlock for now.
Ah I see, that makes good sense then.
They also wanted to renew the focus on the big four classes, especially testing them at higher levels. We got the monk as a bonus likely because they wanted to gauge feedback on it using meanuvers.
