This change will be in the final release of the 2E

Is a really unhelpful thing to say!

I appreciate that fully developing systems is time consuming and difficult. I appreciate you want some content for the final book to re-draw old eyes. I appreciate that distributing updates in easily digestable ways is a logistical puzzle.

But I get the impression that many things the devs want to change (standout thing: Resonance) might not see change during the actual playtest period.

Like it or not, people are already forming opinions on PF2. If too many changes are pushed back to the release book, I feel a lot of people will have lost interest by then and not checked it out, and those who really loved the playtest and stuck with it will suddenly have the game changed quite a bit, and some of those might also leave.

I think it will be important, logistically, that the playtest updates include enough of the internal changes that the transition to 'release PF2' is smooth, that most changes get the community eye, and that it feels like a natural progression for the community.

Well there's not really a reason to say "this change will be in the final version" when it very well might not be.

Agree 100%. I they plan on removing or changing resonance, they should do so now so the rest of the playtest can move forward using the new version.

Otherwise, groups like mine won't continue; it also seems counterintuitive to continue with a playtest that us using rules that will not be in the core rules.


In all fairness, they are probably working hard to find alternatives or new variants of things to be changed that work. It wouldn't help the playtest much if they threw out some half-assed changed and tried to convince us it will be better later. All people would do then is complain that the new version is possibly a little better than the old but still terrible.

And I say this as someone who is pretty much convinced I will never be satisfied with P2 unless they basically go back to P1.
