Artificer UA to be released in February

I don't think there is a bunker strong enough to endure the fanbase exploding over this.

Meanwhile, members of the homebrew community have produced dozens of high-quality homebrew classes such as an Artificer, Psionicist, Witch, et cetera. Has WotC noticed this? No. So much for taking ideas from the fanbase (one of the goals stated when the DMsGuild was created).

That is more than enough for me.

What do you mean by this?

I'm not trying to be confrontational, I just need a bit more context.

Sorry - The fact the homebrew community is providing these options is "more than enough for me." I don't need WotC to provide "official" versions.

it can be. why ships and boats have higher priority than an iconic class is mistery for me, but it can be.

Because there's an actual product that's planned that would use those ship rules. Until Wayfarer's guide, there's no real place for the Eberrron-specific artificer class. Heck, the artificer MAY only being prioritized now due to the mysterious "4th release" of this year possibly being a print Eberron book.

Sorry to ruin your party, but this is complete non-news.

And can somebody point out that its been four years. It's mighty rich asking us to have patience.

They could have released this a year ago, or two years ago. Suggesting this month makes a difference feels like a punch to the face.

The real story is that WotC chooses to not release content.

Where's the revised Beastmaster?

Where's the psionics?

We've gotten exactly zero new classes, and a bunch of subclasses that mostly just change existing concepts around, without providing any new mechanics.

If you watch Mike Mearls happy hour you can watch the development of the Psion in action.

This is the hyperbotastic response that we've all come to know. "Punch in the face" indeed. LOL

do you mean the large ship 'miniature'? I would not say it is more diffused among dnd gaming groups than the eberron wayfinder's guide... an actual 'best adamantine seller' which would use the Artificer rules.

No, the actual print product that WotC is currently teasing that will be released this year.

No, an actual adventure that will use the ship rules is planned.

it doesn't change so much... boat rules have higher priority because an adventure not yet published will use them... but not the Artificer rules which are to be used by a product which is already a huge bestseller...
still a nonsense for me, unless wotc wants the Artificer out of the wayfinder's guide, which is a ghastly perspective for me.
