[QUOTE="Goobermunch, post: 3928345, member: 10516"] But the whole wands, staffs, orbs thing was from September. Yes, it changed. Now, instead of needing implements for every spell, you get powers depending on your implement specialization. That doesn't sound like a major mechanical revision. It sounds like a minor tweak. We also heard that a few powers were too good when used in concert. So they're working on a way to adjust those two powers. From a design standpoint, however, it's not like they've decided to add an additional three races and two classes. They're tweaking things. They're not rewriting major aspects of the game. And we have no idea what their production staff (rather than design staff) looks like. We have no idea how many printing presses they've got available. We can't tell what's going on with their shipping department. That's because nothing has been said about that aspect of the launch. If things are as bad as you suspect, WotC will have to own up to it soon. They'll need to do that because they've got people's expectations riding on a June release date, and it's much better to move that date early on than to wait until the end of April to say "oops, we can't get it done." Nothing we've heard from the designers suggests that they're in that kind of bind yet. Until they start getting panicked, we should probably remain calm and give them the benefit of the doubt. The more we let ourselves get worried, the more sour the tone of the boards becomes. --G [/QUOTE]
