[QUOTE="Lokiare, post: 6265378, member: 83996"] Um... I've refuted this assumption over and over. Here let me do it again: Is it entirely irrational to think that the rules in the play test won't for the most part make it into the finished game? Why would they have a play test if the results wouldn't be used to design the finished game? A pizza parlor gave out free samples of various combinations of toppings on their pizza saying it was a test to see what people like the most for their upcoming new pizza. Then after the taste test was over they proceeded to make a pizza entirely unlike any of their samples. It had nothing in common at all. Makes perfect sense right? Not really. The play test was specifically to find out what we like and don't like and each play test packet narrowed down to a specific type of game. So what we see in the latest packet (the one released at the convention) is going to be very close to what we see in the finished game. It might be cleaned up a bit, but its unlikely to have massive sweeping changes to it. Not to mention that we are pointing out missing things so they can include it in the finished game which is kind of the point of having threads like this. To make things more visible. [/QUOTE]
