D&D (2024) Playtest 7 survey is now live.

Also artificer as we all know that WotC is going to brush the class under the rug and pretend it never existed for 1dnd.

What in the Nine Hells makes you think that? I think it will remain the red-headed stepchild, but I don't think it never getting support again.

They were apparently planning to pit the Artificer in the SRD for the new OGL, so it is on their radar even if it is not in the PHB.

I'm 95% sure that from 1dnd onwards it won't be getting any more content, updates, or acknowledgement it exists. It won't be 'deleted', but it won't be updated to 1dnd or be adventure league legal.

Tasha's us still current, and will be for the foreseeable future. No reason to think that the Artificer is being abandoned.

Artificer's ring of jumping got a boost this packet.

It went from completely useless to just meh.

I am going to assume the whole point of backwards compatible was to keep Tasha's etc. AL legal. If it isn't going to be, I want to burn down packets 6 and 7 and I want my major changes to wild shape, pact magic, subclass progression, and spell lists back ASAP.

I think Tashas is the unofficial starting point of the 2024 edition, I'd be surprised if Wizards throws away what is a concept that can only increase in popularity.

So in this context it actually matters, it’s not just pedantry: there is no product line or whatever called 1DnD. The artificer doesn’t need to be “updated to 1DnD” because that just isn’t a thing. It’s already fully compatible and part of the same game.

Tasha’s will still be part of the game in 2025.

IMO, the whole point is so they can keep selling Strad and other adventures.

Sure, and so they can update the rules for known pain points and make things that get ignored into exciting features and improve DM guidance and ease of reference all of which increases onboarding and retention.
