I suspect within a few months there will be advice about certain classes being 'obviously' intended for certain factions that's likely not intended
Which would be fine in and of itself, until you begin to add in the new players, or the rarely-get-to-play players, or the non-optimized characters, who routinely have a harder time of it and a less fun.
Having had a bit more time to go over the document, I have to say my least favorite part is the 'magic item store' -- it's weird, but between the '500 downtime days to catch up to level 17' and this, I find myself with less confidence that the WotC folks in charge of this really understand the design of their own game.
Given that recent changes to AL were given as a way for WotC to prioritize the AL experience, I have to wonder if these changes aren't going to end up working at cross-purposes to their stated intent with those changes.
What exactly is said 'stated intent' specifically that you are referring to?
Wizards of the Coast is bringing DDAL communications with stores fully to its Customer Service and Retail Support teams. This means the role of Regional and Local Coordinators, which was primarily to support stores, is no longer needed organizationally.
skerritthegreen said:The changes that have occurred are partly because of how much a priority WOTC wants to place on AL. They made the Admins part of the D&D team. They want to increase WOTC efforts towards AL, so they want customer service brought up to speed (and why they get regular updates on AL issues now). Its definitely a good thing!
