Coming from the other end of software development I know that.The issue is enough delays have happened with DDI that it's pretty clear that there are core issues with the production and pipeline. When the Monster Manual 3 was published it took three months before the new format appeared in DDI. Now, granted, that was a large task of converting every monster in the game. But they definitely knew it was going to happen when the book was complete and sent for proofing. They most likely knew well before then during the production of the book.It seems like the same issues are apparent with Dark Sun and Essentials. WoTC knew that there were some major changes required well before the books were printed, but someone messed up.I was pleasantly surprised when WoTC first announced that DDI would update with the official release of the Essentials books. "Oh, they're getting their act together to make a good impression on the new customers they're trying to bring in and some people who have lapsed."And we now see how that turned out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As a DDI consumer my expectation is that Dragon and Dungeon content is in at the beginning of the next month. Not any of this "months later" stuff that's been happening. The same with the books. Everything USED to get updated like that.</blockquote>
