Not an "authentic DnD experience"

Since my review has since been deleted on the supporter pack after this game release "in full", I figure I'll just comment on this game. First off, I noticed that the game had a huge update so I figured I booted it up to see what the biggest of differences of were. To start, the campaign's story is still pretty garbage. Uninteresting, a plot I do not care to engage with, etc etc. But that's okay, because this game has 1) multiplayer and 2) the ability to play custom campaigns that users have made that would elevate what the game provides. But that's not points towards the game - that is not a groundbreaking feature. Second off, and the LARGEST point, is that if this game was a product of love to DnD 5e then you wouldn't have to purchase the Barbarian and Druid class. I have been a DM for 5e for a long time and love the system, but the fact that you have to pay for the Barbarian and Druid class is SO INCREDIBLY gross that it is mind boggling. The "Primal Calling" pack is not even in included in the new Lightbringer's Edition they have included. I am more than willing to pay for extra classes/races that were released in later books, but the fact that these two classes are in the BASIC PLAYER'S HANDBOOK is so incredibly embarrassing that I can't fathom it. Neverwinter Nights accomplished so much. They don't need to emulate that game, but at least those dev's, backed by Bioware, Atari, AND Wizards of the Coast, had the decency to include all the basic classes. They made a story that was thrilling and made me want to continue going forward. If this is the best of a "5e" game then I am embarrassed.
