Delay'd Launch or Errata

[Phasics]

Which would everyone prefer ?

Assuming they need it and well almost everything in gamming history has so its a fairly good assumption.

Would you rather

Rushed: just get it out the door ASAP so I can see the basics and get going let a chunk of errata pick up the contradictions and typos

On Time: We expect you keep to the current schedual and would be staisfied with a small amount of errata as nothing is perfect

Polished: Take as long as you need, NO REALLY ! my best wet dream involves 3 core books and no errata ever published

 

[Rechan]

No matter how long they delay, there will be errata.

Besides, we're all ready waiting six months. Give it to me now.

On-time. Any product can always be made "a little bit better" but there's a point of diminishing returns. I doubt WotC feels they're particularly rushed, despite what others might think.

 

[PeterWeller]

I have to agree with Snow. There's always room for improvement, and at the same time, a lot of what will need errata will also be easily interpreted and/or modified with a little common sense. I'm also pretty sure they're on the ball as far as the production schedule is going, no matter what the worriers or nay-sayers may say.

True although there are differnt types of Errata there the harmless Opps Fighter AC bonus is 5 not 50

and the not so harmless

Umm you know those 2 pages on Attack of Opporunity mechanics, just rip them out and use new one instead


The first I dont mind the second I wont accept

My biggest concern for 4e has always been the short amount time for external playtesting they're conducting. I don't expect a "small" amount of errata when it comes out (on time). I will be very, very (pleasantly) surprised if there isn't page after page after page... of errata and high level loopholes 3 months after it's release.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I'd prefer the latter, but I'd settle for the middle option.

 

[Kobu]

Hand them to some fresh editors before signing off on them. I felt like I was finding dozen of errors on the first read through of 3E.

3.5 drove me nuts because things as simple page numbers in the index weren't checked.

Which would everyone prefer ?

Pink in the Middle: May 2008 sound good but we expect only a small amount of errata

How about June? Last I checked, that is when the books are coming out....

 

[Li Shenron]

Absolutely no errata wanted.
