[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 5391915, member: 40810"] Note that the following is not based on an actual page count, but simply on how the development feels like: Old: A class acts article was 10 pages, with 2 pages fluff and 8 pages game rules Change to shorter article length: Shorter but more article meant that a class acts article was 5 pages with 1 page of fluff and four pages of game rules. But we now got twice as many class acts per month Recent development: Class acts are still 5 pages, but now they consist of 4 pages of fluff and only one page of game rules and also we get less of them The old ratio meant that when there was an article about your class, you had a good chance to like/use at least one of the many new rule items that were included. With the new ratio you can look really forward for the upcomming class acts about your class and after reading 4 pages about history of Nerath or whatever you see two lonely feats none of which happen to be of interest to you. Sure, the nothing of interest for you could have happened before too, but with 4 powers and 5 feats it was just more likely to find at least one thing amog them to add to your character [/QUOTE]
