[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 7660395, member: 63245"] I think the people talking about WOTC's future and "vision" are right. They don't seem to have any beyond "Don't release a lot of splats". Paizo knew what they were doing with their line long before their playtest was over. They knew release schedule of their APs and their actual core rules only come out with 3 or 4 a year. Pathfinder has been around for a while now, so yes there is a lot of material but it's been over a very long span of time. The key with this is that the players have been in the know from the ground up. This is where wizards fails. Wizards may have some grand plan but it doesn't matter if we don't know it. They need to tell us. They need much better PR. We hear bad stuff second hand then people form their own opinions regardless of truth or not. Wizards sucks at letting the fans know what's going on and I know thats hindered from the big company of Hasbro. We don't know why the lay offs happened. We don't know why morningstar fell through. We don't know their future plans for book releases. We don't know their future plans of elecrtronic releases. We don't know what and how fan's can create things. We have no idea about any of this and it's frustrating beyond all measure. We get little more than hints and speculation. When we DO get material we have no clue where it came from. Like the Eberron stuff. Came out of no where. Came before FR stuff which surprised me. Was there some sort of poll I missed that gauged what players wanted? None of these things are awful by themselves but they keep piling up and it's getting bad. Also what's going on with Basic? They haven't said anything about that in months. Last I heard basic was supposed to be done and over with by December. God I love 5e. and I'm critical of WOTC because I don't want to see this fail, but jesus they need to be more direct with us.
