WotC Wants to Know What You REALLY Think About Their New D&D Playtest
It’s once again time to let WotC know what you really think about the changes in their latest playtest. New Unearthed Arcana survey open now!
If there’s one thing D&D players love, it’s complaining about the rules of the game to any who’ll listen. And right now is the relatively rare opportunity to complain to someone who not only will listen, but who actually cares what you have to say.
Not, like, in the specific sense. After all WotC is a billion-dollar arm of a billion-dollar toy corporation. It doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t care about anyone, outside of maybe the CEO or Shareholders. But that’s just companies in general, they don’t care about anything until it affects their profit margins. That’s just capitalism baybee.
But today your comments, rather than disappearing into the void like so much teen angst, will go to someone at the D&D team who cares very much. So if you have opinions about, say, the new Druid or Monk or anything at all, now’s your chance to really let WotC know what you think.
New Unearthed Arcana Feedback – Seven Classes, One Survey
You should know the drill by now. But in case you don’t, this is your chance to help shape the future of D&D. WotC pays close attention to these surveys, looking specifically at which options are proving to be very satisfying and which ones seem to be falling short of the mark. A score of 80% satisfaction is typically good.
But we also know that WotC has a frustrating tendency to think “if no one says anything about it, nobody’s excited” even when they don’t specifically ask for feedback about a certain change. The most notable example of this can be seen in the way that subclasses were, for a time, changed to all hit at the same levels, so that your Assassin Rogue and Hunter Ranger got subclass features at the same time. But nobody commented “oh this is cool” and WotC, who never asked anyone what they thought of the change, reverted the changes because “nobody really seemed excited about it.”
So try and let them know what you love. Put those text boxes to work. The survey will be open for about three weeks. So you’ve got plenty of time to get out there and playtest and let your opinion be heard by WotC.
The survey closes August 17th!
