Disturbed by lack of information on the control Wizard.

Sure we know that it'll be playable on the next Beta weekend but other then that all we've seen is a thirty minute game play video, and minute, and a half intro video. That's it. Which is distressing. Especially since we've seen a fair bit on the GW: Fighter. Hell we don't even have a slight idea what their tab ability is.

Nothing to do but sit patiently and wait.
The guys already dumped 200 dollars on the game. I'm sure he's fairly entitled to be wondering if the class that was announced, and is now un-announced, that he wants to play is even in anymore. I'm sure it will be come launch. I can't see them saying they're going to include something and than not doing it...
March 8 Beta Weekend he will get to play it and there will be plenty of information to drool over about it.
You do realize that there are certain aspects of the game that are still covered in the NDA and this includes everything that was not in the previous beta?
$200 does not entitle anyone to previously unreleased information. Sorry, but that's the truth.
Flag on the play. Previously unreleased information? They said there was going to be 5 classes at launch right now. One of them was the Control Wizard. They have since changed that.
It's not about entitlement. It's about how they handled the information change on a few key issues. It's an ethical business issue and the appropriate way of communicating core content choices at launch, after many decided it's something they want to invest in through a founder's pack. Granted the packs don't guarantee that those content things would be in and this is where you would be right about the entitlement thing.
However, how this information was discovered throws a bit of shade. It could impact their launch a great deal. Especially if the wizard was to be absent from the party.

Oh....My..... Trouble in Paradise I see.
I would have to say that even if a class is played in Beta..... I would suspect if there was feedback on it during this time that it is somehow flawed, then I would think that people shouldn't expect to be able to play it at launch.
Anything could happen between now and then, heck even the classes that are being played now in Beta(s) could become flawed due to some hot fix,
Then what?,
Let the Devs do what they have to to get things right, but heck don't complain about something that is in Beta still.
That is the whole point for beta testing, " Iron out the wrinkles ".

P.S. This is why I would never consider getting things before they are actually retail, it just causes frustration and head-aches. Understandable for those who dropped their coin down before release, but it is Beta after all, and while you got good purks for the money you spent, you have to take the good with the bad.

If one of the classes is more bugged it might be GWF since alot of his items showed as red squares

Nuff' said.
It does entitle them to ask (granted, dropping $200 on a game still in beta purely for digital goods might not be exactly the smartest move, but it still entitles them since at that point they became paying costumers--so Cryptic made its own little bed when they went for their $200 cash grab). And has already been pointed out, this was previously released information. Wizards being planned to be in launch was pretty much in since way back in the old forums, like two years ago.
You are touching on a subject that is irrelevant to the quote. I am not dismissing that they previously announced the CW at launch and changed the FAQ, I am talking on the fact of there being little information about the class. Little information because that which has not been in the previous beta play tests are still covered in the NDA. That information (which is still under NDA) is not bought with $200 pack purchase.
You also seem to not understand that $200 does not buy the right to have information which is covered by the NDA.
The OP is not mentioning anything about launch, only that there is little information, information which will be readily available after March 8th, when the CW information will not be covered by the NDA.
Why is this so hard to understand?
All of this is a moot point since we still have a month of betas to go through and who knows how many more after. I can assure you there will be more information about the class.
I do not see anywhere in the founder pack's list of features where it says "Earns you the right to information about any class you may personally have an interest in before anyone else". It doesn't.

People aren't asking for information covered by the NDA, which in this case would be specific details about the class in question in terms of gameplay, abilities and options (etc.) offered by that class. What people are asking is simple: Is it going to be in at launch or not (no NDA specific info required)? Followed by: OMG, HOW COULD THEY EVEN LAUNCH A "D&D" GAME WITHOUT WIZARDS? GEEZ, R U CRAZY? WHAAAARRRGH!!!! *passes out*
It isn't there, because its a basic right you earn any time you buy a product. If you pay for it, you have a right to ask what tha hell is wrong with it.
Asking what's wrong with a product that isn't even released yet seems asinine to me.
Congratulations. You with the thread.
I'm sorry but that is EXACTLY what he is asking for.
You are reading way more into his post than what is there, and then telling me it says more than it does.
You're right, I'm sorry, your concern for lack of information lead me to believe you wanted more information. I guess I am just confused by why you would be concerned for the lack of something if you didn't want to know more about it. I'm still confused about it. But you never really mentioned what the actual concern was, that it doesn't exist? That it won't be playable in the beta? That it will not be ready for launch? Where exactly does your concern lay?
Also:
I never brought up the founder status, that was brought up in some kind of attempt to justify the right to have more information by Ysil6969, so I will assume your hostility over it is directed at them, and rightly so.
