[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7253169, member: 1465"] I want to believe that WotC team is clever, but one thing that bothers me is the knowledge that when you have something (fairly) new and present it as a series of episodes for feedback, then the respondent tend to overreact positively to the first and become bored along the way. So it's very possible that the feedback results were biased in favor of the Barbarian (which in fact got all 3 subclasses approved) just because everybody was excited by the idea of getting lots of new UA archetypes in weekly articles! By the time we got to the Sorcerer (only 1 of 4 approved, and that 1 was already seen and proved popular before) and Warlock+Wizard (1 of 3 approved), a lot of people were already bored and the average feedback might have been negatively biased. That was the 'streak' of UA articles on subclasses. Later we got an extra UA article with 2 new + 1 revised, and they all made it to XGE, but perhaps the 'gap' between the previous was enough to re-spark some interest. [/QUOTE]
