Extremely excited. Although I could have guessed the individual subclasses, the half-sentence depictions were actually... Inspiring. Whoever wrote/edited/refined this PH(B) did an amazing job.
My one sad thought: a diplomatic, fast-talking merchant rogue subclass. Who remembers Silk, from the Belgariad? To me, Silk is the quintessential rogue, thoigh I rarely see his character expressed mechanically...
But, hey, kudos to the fifth edition design team. I'm excited!

I like the way the classes and subclasses shaped up!

How spoiled am I that after days of feeling excited about just how damn many subclasses are in this new system, when I see the final list I feel disappointed that there aren't even more?
This fall is gonna be fuuunnn!

I had been wondering about this too, although apparently the answer is no. Anyway, a generalist would be pretty pointless now without prohibited schools.
I read that bit of the article as referring to the types of patrons. When you're referring to your warlock character, "star-pact", "fey-pact", and "infernal-pact" are probably fully acceptable.

Ah, Silk, now there's a rogue with a noble background if ever I saw one. Trained in Acrobatics, Deception, Insight and Slight of hand.
Dangit, now I need to read those books again.

It looks like all the subclasses mentioned in another thread have been confirmed now.
Now it's time to think more about concepts and stuff. I wonder how good would an Oath of the Ancients Paladin with levels in Archfey Warlock synergize together.
I never felt that generalist wizard was a strong concept, schools of magic are like University majors, you got to pick one eventually. But I still think that Abjurer and Diviner would be a hard sell to most players. Diviner could have things like lots of advantage rolls and automatic 20's on dice rolls, and even then I still think they won't get picked by most players.

I had an earth genasi diviner back in 3.X; the 5e diviner has to be better than being a 3.X specialist wizard was without splats.
