[QUOTE="Droogie128, post: 5531325, member: 74952"] I just think they've come to a point where they've released all of the sacred cows, and they're figuring out which direction to go next. 4e has shown that it can flex and bend a lot without breaking, and I feel they may be out to test the threshold some more. I've got mixed emotions on HoS, though. In terms of quality. I think the Blackguard is a thing of beauty, but the Shade and Vampire are a giant step backwards (racial penalty, and a dual primary-stat class that doesn't even have a choice in the matter). I definitely hope this part is not the new direction. Overall, I remain cautiously optimistic. They seem interested in communication finally, or at least they pretend to me. They also finally looked towards the CharOp boards for opinions. *edit* Just to Dice4Hire above me, HoS is not purely essentials. There's a lot of stuff in there that is equally useful for non essentials products. It's actually a pretty good mix. [/QUOTE]
