In fact at the moment it will be hardly affected at all since my group is currently on hiatus from playing. I'm preparing a new campaign and it'll be a bit before I can play. But when we playing before it grew to be a pain to wait for late, late updates. "Hey Jim, these duelist feats would be perfect for your rogue!" "Awesome, I'll tweak my dude in the next update." *next update arrives* "Oh I guess it'll be next month." *next update arrives* "Oh... next month?"I just see this as signs of bigger issues. In general when one deliverable is 20% late or behind schedule most people really want to believe that it's a one time occurrence and they'll catch up. When in reality it's usually that they'll always be 20% late.Also, I would totes pay 2x the current rate if it would guaranteed real on time updates. Well, as long as it included progress with more Adventure Tools. But that's not the issue here. The issue is DDI is failing to meet their dates. When it's less than a week out for an already delayed update and they say "maybe next month?" that points to bigger issues. At the very least it points to bad production practices / scheduling. And it probably points to a pipeline that makes it difficult to actually do the updates.</blockquote>
