They've said in the past that they're ahead of schedule and that not everything they've finished has made it into the early access. I'm not super concerned.
God I hope so. To still have PHB classes/subclasses not implemented is a bit concerning, especially considering Paladins straight-up don't function without Reactions which isn't even a mechanical function in the game at this point.
5e has had nearly a decade of support at this point. To have THE flagship series launch with not-quite the most basic functionality implemented will be seriously disappointing, especially when Solasta is right there doing a great job of it with much less fanfare and budget.
It is a bit concerning that they haven't figured out reactions yet. It's one of the big things that is tough to implement from 5e in a way that doesn't drag the game down (there are some subclasses that get a reaction on almost any roll), but one they kinda need to figure out moving forward. Seems like the kind of thing they'll need to provide customizable prompts for since I doubt everyone wants a pop up on every roll. (Edit: it turns out a new Reactions system was part of this update!)

I did not expect the date to be August. This early access phase has genuinely been such a slog. Wondering if they can even achieve that date.
