April 2024: Curate your Xpack (1 per account on a server of your choice), discovery elixir if you have them all

Cool. Two archetypes, an adventure pack, maybe a free expansion, and several boxes you'll manage to dupe somehow.

This is actually pretty ambitious for "bonus content" on a game that makes $10m a year.

I'm curious if this is just going to be another Web of Chaos raiders reward box.

Probably.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Be aware; they start with "Archetypes = VIP feature"

You need to claim them within the month, afterwhich those Archetypes will not be free.

As far as I can tell, "Dragon Disciple" is a colored dragon-based sorc or bard. Between Dragonborn race, the savant lines, and the Destiny---do we need anything like this? Seems like the last thing we need.

Only possible pro: Dragon Disciples get dragon breath. What if they nerf DB only to have to take the archtype in order to buff it to how it is now?

Stupidity?
Genius?

Yes.

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

Yes.


Also possible: they needed a sorc archetype and were too shitty to design one on their own, so they grabbed the closest thing that matched from PnP and shoved it in there no matter how poorly it fit.

In tabletop, at least, I tend to associate the DD with bards over sorcerers. The physical stuff never really jived with a sorc.

Makes sense that SSG would assign it to sorcs, knowing that.
