DDI September/October Update info

[renau1g]

Do we say things which then get misconstrued and spend an enormous amount of energy dispelling the misinfo, and fighting the "you didn't do what you promised!" comments...

Like when Trevor mentioned "we are back on schedule to provide members with our regular content updates." despite not having DS or Essentials in the CB...

WotC *is* aware of the feelings of the customers, both those that are disappointed with the happenings over the past couple months as well as those who it didn't bother.

très bien. Quick suggestion that maybe you can pass along is something to record a reason why disabling auto-renewal/canceling subscription. I know many companies have this when stopping an auto-renewing feature and I'm sure it grabs some decent feedback.

I don't rightly know why someone would cancel their subscription over a completely unsubstantiated message board rumor.

I get being irked about the lack of update (I am irked...though I believe in supporting WotC, so I will continue to give them their allowance believing that they can pull through), or, if it turned out that the CB was going web-based and you were irked about that, then pulling your subscription.

But message board Chicken Littles are not a good source of advice on what to do....ever.

Even broken clocks are right twice a day

I'm signed up until June next year so we'll see how things are between now and then, still lots of time to improve their content. I'd really like to see more than 2 Dungeon adventures a month. That's a big thing for me

blink blink

sounds of furious typing

That is something that I already had on my list of things to pass on to WotC.

I take that to mean that they're back to updating on the first tueday of each month. Not that they're caught up with the data that needs to be supplied.

Blizzard will deny anything and EVERYTHING about a game UNTIL they pretty much rolling out the beta in a week.

This is not true.

We've been aware od Diablo III and Cataclysm for months before a beta.

We are already there's a MMO being developed by Blizzard by a year and there won't be a beta for a year or two.

Blizzard is known for announce and take years to release "when it's done".

I honestly thought Essentials would be in the updated, but there's really only Psionic Power...which incidentaly has the monk in my group spewing as he build his without it.

My subscription ends next year, I think, but I'm not sure if I'll renew it. If Wizards stop giving updates to core I rpobably won't as I'm not a fan of Essentials.

I would like to say that I didn't cancel my subscription because of a rumor. I cancelled because I am paying for digital support for my DnD game and they are not delivering and not communicating. The fact that are delaying information on information is just rediculus. They act like if they tell us what's happening we will consider it a promise to have it in hand the next day.

Well, let's be honest... Based on past experience, why should they think any differently?

Having read through this thread - I figured that I should hopefully bring a little ray of sunshine to many who are displaying a fear for their beloved CB.

Make a new human and you will see that there is a change to the creation process. I want others to see it and judge for themselves but I feel that it shows that Wizards is not going to be abandoning the CB for a web-based version.

cheers.

I don't want to disappoint anyone, but the racial changes (including the humans) are also in the errata...
So this is no real sign that they will ever include the essentials line in the current CB format.
