Of the WotC Forums and the OTT

[PigKnight]

WotC forgot to pay for the forum or something and said it was an upgrade.

And that is another problem with WotC; their communication strategy. They can't do internet and they refuse to talk to customers. People would have been more tolerant if the reason for the sudden and imperfect changes would have been explained. Or if we'd been told a few months ago that they were going to change the forums (and maybe ask for user feedback, polls aren't only for playtests).

Initiative is dirt-cheap in 3.5, especially at high levels.

4e characters add half their level to initiative, so its possible my 4e Ranger will go first and use some bad ass power on you! If that doesnt kill you outright Im spending an action point and blasting you again!!!

They realized a week before.

That is a rumor, not WotC's official line.

Eh, Astral Projection says hi.

It may have been a self inflicted wound, but I think the guys responsible for making the transition work didn't have very much time at all. And the need to switch may have been completely out of WotC hands.

I've heard some plausible scenarios where the need to change could be out of their hands, but none where it sneaks up on them this suddenly.

It was buried in the support thread. But I don't have it so, could have imagined it.

Your ranger has Astral Projection!?
