3.5 Errata... What's Going On?

It's actually Greg Bilsand that ended up working on it. Post 53 he mentions 6 books they were going to get up. I think they did. Don't know where they are.

No, they only got the first three. IIRC, MIC errata came out 1/7/08, and was the last update we had. We never saw the mythical CChamp, CMage, CPsi, or ToB errata. The fact that errata has been removed just adds insult to injury.

It makes me very sad to think that all of this errata that we were promissed before 4e was even announced (and about a year and a half before it was released) will now be canceled because of focus on 4e. It means that either a) they lied when they said how close the errata was to being ready, or b) the errata is pretty much done, but may never be released because of WotC internal bureaucratic holdups.

I said from (close to) the beginning that my biggest concern with 4e was aftermarket support. When you add the failure to release the GSL and the failure of internet support (DDI, Gleemax) to the failure to deliver errata, it really makes it looks like WotC just doesn't consider support to be a serious consideration.

Yup, it's extremely disappointing. I'll be playing 3E for at least another year, so I was really looking forward to those errata.

I remember a lot of the members of the WotC boards compiling errata in order to assist WotC in getting it released. Here it is: errata metathread

That thread has links to numerous other errata threads.

Bump.

The missing errata has been reported on Gleemax, but still hasn't been brought back. Still no word about the errata that was supposedly just a couple of weeks away in January. I'll probably just give 3.5 errata up for dead soon, but I feel the need to poke the horse a few more times.

WotC seems to be mastering the art of empty promises.

Which is exactly why you will never see it.

Update:

WotC has stated that they "cannot say when, if ever, Tome of Battle and Complete Champion errata will be available." Considering the posts they made months ago stating that Complete Champion errata was supposedly (near) complete and just awaiting the final review process, it's enough to knock my faith in WotC down quite a bit. Congratulations WotC, you are now officially the King of Empty Promises!

Also, the errata page has been edited to include the SC errata, but the PHB2 and MIC errata is still missing. I'm not sure if it makes me feel better to know that they cared enough to put the one back, or worse because they don't even know what errata is supposed to be there.

I'm not really surprised by there response. I am a little puzzled that they took down errata that they had already previously released though.
