[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5262736, member: 71571"] The -other- thing that they've said is that all the rules changes that were planned for Essentials were not made -for- essentials but, well... they were doing anyways. So, even if they stopped selling PHBs (which they've confirmed they're not, they're just not printing new stock because they haven't gone through the current stock yet), and focused solely on Essentials from now and forever, everything you need to make past material compatible with Essentials material is available [URL="http://wizards.com/dnd/files/UpdateJuly2010.pdf"]with minimal inconvenience.[/URL] Most of it's months old by now. You already -have- it, in other words. As well, Essentials was designed to be as compatible with pre-Essentials as the PHB2 is with PHB1. Did PHB2 make PHB1 no longer work? No? Okay. You can stop panicking now. As well, it's not like 3.5 was some sort of 'stealth' revision to the rules. Again, they were advertising it AS a revision for a year in advance. Don't believe me? Go grab yourself a handful of Dragon magazine and see. They DID NOT stealth advertise it. If you think they did, it is because you were not paying attention to the appropriate media at the time. So, why would -any- rational individual claim, based on fact and history, that they'd stealthfully sneak in a reboot of 4e, not call it a reboot, and not hype the hell out of it AS a reboot? Based on some paranoid ramblings that 'they did it before' which I find crazy talk and completely incongruous with [b]what they actually said.[/b] How people felt about the revision that they were fully open and honest about is a different story. Perhaps some bitterness about them putting in a reboot of 3rd edition and only giving them a years warning about it still festers. But the fact is, they didn't sneak it up on anyone. They were open about the changes they were making, and lauding them. You knew what they were doing with the ranger MONTHS before a book hit print. Dark Sun is getting more hype than Essentials. Just sayin' you need to pay attention to what is actually happening. [/QUOTE]
