Have they recalled it or something?

Sep 05, 2008 20:53:16 Grrr! .. and that was one of the only things I was wanting from this new magazine. This is a huge disappointment.

Sep 05, 2008 22:49:15 Wow WTF, 359 issues of paper Dragon and i can think of maybe two times when they failed to deliver what was promised in the in the next issue. Now
we have this "change of plans" and last months "oops we didn't get it on time" this is not the way to impress us the people that WotC wants to pay for the E-zeen.

Sep 05, 2008 23:05:24 Lame, I wasn't very interested in the Artificer, but I have two PCs who wanted to platy a barbarian, plus it would have been our first peek at Primal. I hope that the idea wasn't scrapped entirely, I don't mind if I have to wait a month, but I'll be a tad disappointed it's gone forever.

Very disappointed in the decision, and frankly, after it had been announced that it would be in this issue and its all of a sudden pulled without comment in what for all intents and purposes looks like a bait and switch, it tends to **** me off and not make me want to get a subscription and just wait for the compiled issues.

Sep 06, 2008 0:21:14 Well it clearly could/might be editor error.

Something to hope for at least, for those that want the class.

Everything else would be retarded. Because they have a Barbarian as cover.

Cheers, LT.

Sep 06, 2008 8:41:25 They also still list Roll vs Role: Trolls in the ToC despite the article being in last month's Dragon, so I doubt it's quite accurate yet... Hopefully they'll still include the barbarian preview.

you don't have to be a subscriber to get the compiled issues that basically come at the end of the month or into the beginning of the next month? o.o

also I have a thread on this too ~.~ if its true then they should JUST SAY IT instead of leaving it to us to find out for ourselves of what happened.

Could be true, might not be and just an error, still on the teaser I suppose.

They have said that individual issues can be purchased if I remember correctly.

Sep 08, 2008 15:13:45 Posting the following open letter to Wizards here because there's more than enough threads on this subject as it is.

To whom it may concern:

The recent events regarding Dragon magazine have proven to be very disappointing. It would seem that in the transition from print to pixels, the magazine staff has forgotten about things like deadlines and how to avoid making false promises. While I understand the convenience of being able to fix articles before they become "official", this practice has led to some very sloppy mistakes, such as releasing an article that clearly needs more than a once-over for typos (the star pact warlock article comes to mind). Please endeavor to fix these problems as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,
A concerned potential subscriber
