They decided to use WoD, not NWoD/CofD and had comments about that the latter didn't sell as much as the former. NWoD fans didn't like that.2. They said they won't shy away using real-world events and other phenomenon in the game. For some people that's too "edgy" and they just basically hating them since that. That and the former point themselves are enough for some people to bash them at any opportunity. 3. They made a big deal about a game concept which could have change the game profoundly. From the playtest the sky isn't seem to be falling.4. They hired Zak Smith for one of the app games and a lot of die-hard fans of Onyx Path games had serious problems with that, due to personal reasons. The app games also had some controversial elements in them. +1. The tabletop community (or at least the visible parts on forums) feels a bit neglected, because they're concentrated on the LARP side of things so far, although with this playtest, I hope that'd even out somewhat. Also it's somewhat understandable why they did so. Also-also they'd need more communication with the fanbase and I hope that'd change too (I'm willing to forgive them so far for that, they probably have a lot of things on their plate and have a small crew).  That's it, in a nutshell. Anyway, the playtest is quite good, IMO. I don't like every part of it and yes, it needs a lot of work, but they said clearly, that it's really a pre-alpha. The Hunger mechanic is an interesting change and I more-or-less like it. I have concerns, about both the rules and the setting, but I'm also excited and happy they don't make it behind closed doors. Aside from that, do I like, or agree with everything they did and said so far? No, not at all, but I also think the amount of hate directed at them is quite extreme on several forums (and it's quite contained to those forums and specific groups), but hey, it's rpg fans on the internet, what should we expect? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
