Role Forum Names - Why Artificer but no Barbarian/Bard/Druid?

Dec 01, 2008 21:22:29 Just a quick thought/question:

Why do the class/role forum names include the Artificer (for Building Leaders), but not the Barbarian (for Building Strikers)? (Bard and Druid I can understand a bit more, as they were never available to the public.)

While it's not a major problem, I just thought I'd bring it to the fore, in case it was just overlooked.

:D

Dec 02, 2008 13:03:52 These forum names are going to become ridiculous if they keep adding classes to them...

Personally I think they need to remove them, or just list the PHB ones.

4e Leaders: Building Clerics, Warlords, etc...
4e Controllers: Building Wizards, etc...
4e Strikers: Building Rangers, Rogues, Warlocks, etc...
4e Defenders: Building Fighters, Paladins, etc...

Not to mention it would be less upkeep for the forum people instead of having to update every time a new class is added. Which if they aren't on top of posters like you (or me, since if they are going to name them like that, I agree they should keep up) will complain that its missing.

4E Controllers
4E Defenders
4E Leaders
4E Strikers

That's it. The textual description lets you know what goes where.

To answer your question witha hypothesis; Artificer is available to everyone and thus included in the forum name. Barbarian (and subsequent releases) are only to be discussed by DDI members on their own subforum, perhaps?

This is what I would have them do, really.

Having the core class examples would work well too.
