Its a benefict for the people on GenCon...on a quite elitist way, on my point of view.

That won't get an argument from me.
I've been unable to go to Gen Con for five years now due to multiple health and safety concerns.
Thinking though is that their system can't handle a graduated rollout, which would be a thing.
Hopefully it rolls out at the time I'm thinking, because 1000 Pacific will have some very angry con-goers treating the store team poorly.

No, it makes a kind of sense, if they are aiming for a Gen Con Exhibit Hall 'live' time would be 1000 AM Eastern/0900 Central/0800 Mountain/0700 Pacific.And since it would be a traditional 'draw' to Gen Con, they probably did the timing to match up with that, because otherwise there would be some Customer Service issues.
I could see this if it was just a physical product launch, or if it was a product launch that happened at GenCon or later; for instance, the SF2e playtest I could understand as it may have a keynote diving into some of its details as they announce its live. A launch that has AFAIK already started shipping physical copies and unlocking PDFs for those subscribers who have received shipping confirmations makes no sense to hold back for some arbitrary time, considering its an online digital release. Not to mention, the class changes including many feats have already been covered by many content creators and are already available on Demiplane PF Nexus in their rules compendium, so there really is no point that I can see to delaying the full PDF unless there is some technical issue that Paizo ran into this time, though I frankly doubt it.

I've always assumed that these convention delays were more about the ceremonial aspects than practical issues.
They can announce that the books are now available and start selling both the physical books and the PDFs at the same time.
It builds anticipation as part of the show.

I have the subscription, will I get an email or something for the PDF or will it appear hear on the site, and now that it is publicly available why do I STILL not have it?!
Subscriptions are a bit wonky in that respect.
You will get an email letting you know when your physical copy has shipped. When that happens, you will automatically get the digital copy available for download. It will be in the digital items section.
There is no special notice that is ready for such.
Still waiting for Roll20 to get this out of their Preorder state, but I have the PDF

Oh! The PC2 product page's placeholder cover image lists four cover credits (like on PC1): Bonner, Bulmahn, Radney-MacFarland, and Seifter.
However, it seems that PC2's actual cover which went to print lists two cover credits: Logan Bonner and Mark Seifter.
That was only for the placeholder yeah. The PDF only has these two too.
Things appearing in PC2 referenced in Howl of the Wild:
Archetypes- Beastmaster
Feats- Crane Stance, Gorilla Stance, Tiger Stance, Wolf Stance, Crane Flutter, Gorilla Pound, Tiger Slash, Wolf Drag
Spells- chilling spray
All are reprints from prior books. Will need to see actual text to see changes.
I was looking for the Gorilla Stance but I didn't find it. Anyone knows if that is errata?
So, got a question regarding Dragonic Sight:
[Prerequisites low-light vision
You have a fraction of the senses of your draconic forebear.
You gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your
ancestry already grants you low-light vision.]
Does this mean that they need low-light vision and can't gain low-light vision, or that they don't need low-light vision and can gain it from this ancestry?

I'm pretty sure that having that prerequisite is an error.
So if you don't have low-light vision then you can take this feat to get it.
And if you do have low-light vision then you can take this feat to get darkvision.

I thought so, but wated to make sure which part was the error, if it was the prerequisit or the low-light granting. thank yuo for the clarity.

I can't be sure, of course, but that would bring it in line with all of the other "vision-granting" ancestry options.
So I’ve looked for this info online and can’t seem to find it. Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this. But those subclasses that were not reprinted in this book or Player Core 1, are there any plans to reprint them in the future? Things like arcane trickster rogue, or the genie and nymph sorcerer bloodlines.So, I'm pretty sure the eldritch trickster can't come back because that's a D&D name.
As for the genie and nymph bloodlines, those have been expanded to be elemental and fey. The original thinking was that bloodlines had to be exactly that: blood relations. However, the newer ideas of sorcerer is that as long as you have magic in your blood, somehow, you can be a sorcerer, whether that be because of a family blessing/curse, living in a land full of magic, or, yes, being a blood relation.
That... Still kind of sucks, especially for Genie. Now sorcerer has no way to get an arcane spell list with elemental theming, which I think was Genie's biggest strength compared to Elemental. That's not an unreasonable ask, arcana as a skill specifies elementals as beings of arcane significance. Not to mention, we lost Psychopomp from the APG too and there's no rolling that into anything else.
Sad to see that the Kobold snare feats still pair really poorly with Ranger + Snarecrafter. Is it that unreasonable to give them a Special entry that lets you use your survival for it if you're a Ranger? Also Snare Setter still has a prerequisite of being Trained in crafting and then... Gives you the Trained proficiency in crafting. It was lousy the first time too, seems strange to me that that managed to survive the remaster. Unless there's some really strange way to cheat this out without having crafting but even then there's gotta be a better way to do this.
As I live very far away (across multiple oceans, to be more precise) from the Anglosphere regions, I can only wait and wait until the PC2 sketch cover leftovers are to be sold in the Paizo web store... :(
