[QUOTE="Malisteen, post: 5396426, member: 44380"] I'm unhappy now, because the entire direction of the book is just so completely not what I wanted, and I've built up a lot of wanting for this product over two years of waiting for material for shadow characters. I can understand martial, arcane, and divine getting done first - they're more iconic. I was patient. I watched Primal and Psionic get the full treatment and said "wow, that's awesome, I can't wait for Shadow to get released so I can play with them!" Why is it that only now, when the power source that [i]I[/i] was exited for was about to be released, why is it only now that the developers say "whoops, guess we made too many classes, no new classes for anybody else, but hey, you can share with the wizard or the paladin if you really want"? I feel like I've been waiting all night to sit on Santa's knee and get my picture taken and when I finally got to the front of the line they decided it was time to close the mall. It really has taken the wind out of my sails, as far as enthusiasm for 4e and D&D in general goes. And yeah, I'll read it when it comes out, and comment again. I'll try to give it a fair shot, really I will. If I haven't just given up on D&D altogether by that point. [/QUOTE]
