D&D 5E Next UA on February 6

[Mercule]

A two week delay? The only thing for certain is that it means people will complain twice as much about it then.

It's funny how moving from monthly to weekly for a bit (I always understood the move to be short term) suddenly turns a two week delay into unacceptable. The world may end when UA moves back to its regular schedule.

Two week delay. It better be good.

Well if it's not up to your standards then I'm sure they will cheerfully refund your money.

I am also hoping for the updated downtime rules that hopefully make use of intelligence.

They declared this once a week schedule.

If its late and lame of course people will complain more. And they should.

Let's be honest here... even if they *didn't* declare they were doing a once a week schedule but rather just published the first five or six UAs once a week without comment... people would be all over the boards here posting "They're releasing them once a week! Here's what the schedule should look like for the remainder of the UAs!"

Then of course when WotC "missed" a week, the caterwauling would come out about how they were promised these things once a week, and screw WotC if they were going to screw over the players like this! Like always happens. And doesn't mean a damn thing.

So yeah... you should complain about the delay just as much as WotC should care about getting fans upset...

...meaning, not at all.

As one underwhelmed with some of the PHB subclasses and very pleased with many of the SCAG and UA ones I have a hard time understanding some of the complaints in this thread...

It's bonus free stuff that is completely optional. So no, they shouldn't complain. Not without sounding spoiled and/or entitled at least. It would be like complaining how your Christmas presents aren't good enough.

I was honestly under the impression that since each class was getting its due every week (in alphabetical order, no less) that these were already done and ready to be uploaded on a weekly basis, and that it was a good time for them to be working on other stuff. I think it was implied when they went monthly to weekly that this stuff was in the hopper since a week is very little time to get things right enough for us to look at things. Guess I assumed wrong.

I don't care either way. I'm not about to change classes anytime soon; just was wondering if anyone else got this impression too.

Nah, both Mearls and Crawford are working primarily on these the week before: that's why Sage Advice is on hiatus

Or else what? You will move your bookmarks? Torment your peers at ENWorld by complaining more in a thread nobody at WOTC is reading? What's the implied "better be" in your threat?

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Mearls is in Korea? For fun? Work trip?
