[QUOTE="hafrogman, post: 5321312, member: 8858"] I think my main problems with the delays are these: 1) It looks like they've bitten off more than can chew, and their service is suffering for it. Dark Sun was released quite a long while before any essentials product. There is no reason for them to try and cram all the changes into a single update. 2) The custom campaign element features are quite badly implemented. Normally this doesn't bother me too much, as I'm not using them. But when I want to implement my new Dark Sun character without the update, it becomes a problem. I can manually type in a power card, and force it into a character, but there's no real information associated with it. I can't assign that power a class, level, type or use rate (at-will, encounter, daily). Then I try and assign my hand-typed new Warlock at-will as my half-elf's dilletante power and it crashes the program every time. If the September update had been smaller and designed to only encompass those books that were on sale in August, I'd be happier. If the existing program was capable of being tweaked for me to add my own information, I'd be happier. Combine the two issues, and waiting eight weeks for a book to be implemented into the program I pay for every four weeks (or actually every 52, but you get the idea) is indeed something that fills me with nerd-rage of entitlement or whatever you want to deride it as.
