They've done this with other things, so I don't see this issue. Multi-classing or the other PhB classes, for instance. We know they will come, but we don't know when and how. And that's perfectly fine. Now imagine they didn't say anything about multiclassing or their focus on PhB classes at all and how much speculation and potential disappointment that could generate ?

I agree with almost everything here, and with the need for better communication in general. I'd nuance one point in particular : there's a difference between "we don't know when" and "we don't know if". The former might be postponed, which is mildly annoying, the latter might be canceled, which is a huge bummer. As far as I can tell, Larian have told us only about the "we don't know when" category, in which the PhB and multiclassing fall. I wish they told us about the "we don't know if" category, but understand why they might not.
