Dry your bitter tears and homebrew. The fighter rocks as is.

No problem! :-)

The new poll seems to indicate they're in the planning stages for introducing some of the things people would like to see in the "non-evergreen" sense.

The Starter Set is a boxed set containing some of Basic, but not all; with additional content, including a sizable adventure.

I picked Realms, Dragonlance, Dark Sun, Eberron, and Planescape, which are some of the settings that (if we see any at all) we should be guaranteed to see (hopefully sooner rather than later). These are the ones that are most important to me, and they're the ones I'm most likely to buy. (Though...

Maybe, but if so, that saddens me. Unless I'm misunderstanding the DM tools in Sword Coast Legends and underestimating Dragon+, these bear little relevance to the tabletop game. In Dragon+ issue 1 the only thing I remember seeing that was relevant to play was a list of trinkets... Maybe there...

I do wish we'd heard more about digital strategies. Last year they told us to expect an announcement on digital stuff at the beginning of 2015, and that hasn't happened... maybe the delay was related to the things that went down with Dungeonscape, and subsequent change of plans, but I just wish...

The most recent announcement was for Out of the Abyss https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/outoftheabyss which was in April or May, I think, and comes out in September.

If you go to a cheese party and you don't like cheese, you're bound to be disappointed. The party next door has sausages, I hear.

In their defense, it's also somewhat unfathomable in that it has always been the strategy before. And it's reasonable that such a significant change in strategy would lead many to believe that WotC has gone "off course and into the weeds".

This is very well put, and sums up my response to the original question as well. Though I appreciate the points other people have made elsewhere that they don't want to have to come up with stuff... D&D, being many things to many people, has a hard time still being many things to many people...

1: I agree; I'd love to know what the plan is. I'd love to hear more about what they're working on. Frankly, I don't see why you're waiting when you should just be enjoying yourself with the many other good options for entertainment, if 5e is currently not such an option. Either what you want...

I don't hope anything. I don't care except that people are making arguments without any backing, based solely on their sliver of a viewpoint on the situation. Most people viewing and arguing, myself included, have no particular insight to how successful WotC's strategy for 5e has been, but that...

The Player's Handbook is still in the top 100 selling books on Amazon, so if they want to kill the product they really :):):):)ed up.

So homebrew, use someone else's homebrew, find a different game. Frankly it seems like the latter is your best bet, because if what you found in the PHB left you uninterested or didn't old your interest for even 9 months, then what on earth leads you to believe their next releases will be any...

Well, at least it sounds like they played the game enough to form honest opinions about it. Hope you can all find a system that satisfies everyone.

Can you tell us how much you have actually played 5e with these players, how many campaigns, up to what levels, and over what actual time span? When the player says "I feel like my 4th level character could take on my 12th" are these two actual characters that were played from first level in...

These are all wonderful, and I hope to see more, since I'm not the most tactically-oriented DM. This is really helpful. One thing I would say, though, is that unless there is a reason, monsters should be played generally according to their known traits and behaviors. For example, dragons are...

At this point, I've just uninstalled Dragon+. I hope they have interesting stuff in the future, but between Dragon+ and En5ider only one has produced any content to speak of. I don't get what they're trying to do with Dragon+ --- I don'y see the point of a "magazine" that's really just a...
