I'm getting, like, unhealthy amounts of mad, clicking on that broken link.

This week's Unearthed Arcana column from WotC's Mike Mearls and Jeremy Crawford gives us four new fighter archetypes: Samurai, Sharpshooter, Arcane Archer & Knight. The Arcane Archer is a master of elven archery, weaving magic into missile attacks; the Knight is able to mark his foes and hold the line; the Samurai gains benefits through sheer willpower; and the Sharpshooter has various ranged combat abilities.

Can't open it yet but the DRUID SURVEY is up and running in the mean while.

Hmm sincerely IDK what to expect of this UA can't wait to be able to read it.

Well, it seems peoples' guesses were pretty spot on, judging by those archetypes. The link isn't there yet, but I wonder if the knight will get something like stances

Create Magic Arrow. As a bonus action on your turn, you can create one magic arrow in your hand. The arrow lasts until the end of theturn or until it hits or misses a target. You can fire the arrow from a shortbow or longbow. The arrow is a magic weapon that deals an additional 2d6 force damage on a hit.You have two uses of this feature, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.

I don't remember there being rules that said shortbow arrows couldn't be fired from a longbow or vice-versa.

I'll quote that for truth. I tried it about six times, then refreshed the article page and tried it another six before trying to see if this thread was up and if anyone had seen it yet.

Definitely a little antsy about it.

They are making ever ready arrow too complicated. just say it's an additional use of arcane arrow and keep it simple. the "get another arcane arrow 1 minute after your final one" seems too messy, and I'd probably just handwave it away to what I suggested anyway.

I like them overall, though not a fan of the Sniper. Just don't really see its place. The Knight is more complicated than it should be. Arcane Archer is great. Samurai is fine.
