A Few things I would like seen done please.
1. First and fore most, Errata and clarifications on the class and its abilities.
Hear, hear. It seems that this character class was thrown together rather hastily before playtesting it throughout the progression of levels. At midlevel, a PC that can make a ranged touch attack at will that deals 4d6 damage is a little broken.2. New Invocations and/or rules on creating them.
3. New Warlock PrC's maybe like the Arch-Warlock, or something to allow the to transform into an outsider (like Dragon Disciple) or how they could maybe become a lich.
Yes, there already is errata for the class.
As for it being broken, no it is not. Think how limited a Warlock is compared to a Cleric, Sorceror or Wizard. Also, I have seen many warriors do more than 4d6 damage (an average of 14 damage) at mid-level. (Which leads to my dislike of how low the damage reduction numbers are in 3.5, I personally keep the new bypass rules but in my games I have increased the numbers by +50%).
Also, there a quite a number of prestige classes for the Warlock, even in other supplements beyond Complete Arcane. Read up on the section "Warlocks and Prestige Classes" in Complete Arcane. It tells you how a Warlock can qualify for arcane prestige classes. And the +1 increase to spellcaster level increases their Known Invocations and Eldritch Blast damage. Acolyte of the Skin is one such PrC and Blood Magus is another they can enter.
I do agree that I hope there is a Class Acts issue coming soon with new Warlock feats or invocations in the Arcane portion of the article. Their feat selection is lacking.
I highly wish they had included rules for creating your own invocations. Let's hope that'll be written sometime in the near future.

Hmm...
If you're looking for that level of warlock support I suggest looking toward (and submitting ideas to) the features section. The chances of an entire CA dedicated to warlocks is mighty, mighty slim (not 0, though, because someone might actually propose a warlock CA I like... stranger things have happened).
You might also want to check and see if warlock invocations would work as a Spellcraft article.
Question about the Warlock class. I have a Monk/Warlock multiclass character. Looking at the Devour Magic Greater Invocation, I see lots of potential. Is it possible to hold your initiative, spellcraft an opposing mage's instantaneous duration-type spell, discover the spell being cast before it is cast, and then use the Devour Magic invocation?
Assuming the invocation works sort of like counterspelling, then yeah - that works fine.
I would still like to see articles detailing the Celestial, Anarchic, and Axiomatic (sp) warlock to go along with the exsisting Fiendish warlock. I supose if someone wanted to get real creative the could even make a Fey or Draconic warlock.

That might be cool. Although it sounds like the length of it would require it to be a features article (which is okay by me!). ;)
it is somewhat strange that I sent a feature article query proposing almost exactly the same thing earlier today.
Good luck Wes. I think it's a solid idea.
indeed, perhaps i should get writing so i'll be able to see some new stuff about the warlock.
thanks Zher, I hope they let me write it.
Fey warlock! Finally, a class more effeminate than the bard!
