Forked from: Rate WotC as a company: 4e Complete? I've been watching, lurking mostly, and observing the often-heated conversations regarding the problems with the D&D game (whichever the edition). Posters have sometimes used these problems as a launch pad to discuss why X or Y edition of the...

I gotta go with Toras on this. While I can understand that some people might abuse Fly and thus it could be a problem in some games, I'm less convinced that whichever version of D&D is broken with regards to Fly. It is one of those problems I hear about here, but I haven't seen firsthand (I...

Ah! Thanks for getting Goodman into the voting as well as correcting that error that wasn't counting the votes, it is much appreciated.

Agreed. As far as gish goes, I'm not sure I see the need. I mean, it isn't that much extra effort to say Figher Magic User, or type F/MU. Did this spread from online and not wanting to type the longer phrase, or did one person say it once at a gaming table and it caught on through the collective...

I may be looking in the wrong threads, but I have not seen anything draconian or heavy-handed in the moderation around here. In fact, I'd suggest that the mods are being pretty level-headed; I know there have been strings of comments that are little more than namecalling and backbiting that has...

I do have to say that when I first heard of magic items being assigned levels, the very first thing that flashed through my head was Diablo 2. Other than that, I didn't relate the two.

Well, with luck this means they will commit more resources/time/effort into the DDI and other projects. I'll refrain from laughing and simply wait to see what good comes from this.

Yes, by far.

No. I tend to modify the rules to fit my game, to correct a problem, and so forth.

Currently D&D is all we are playing.

Yup, both made up for D&D. And yet, they are somewhat descriptive, even to people that don't play this game (but may play others) or even to the average fantasy reader or even the man on the street. Gish sounds like squish. Does your character squish things? Is it made of protoplasm? Without...

As far as class goes, I've always considered it a shortened form of Armor Classification. Just a quick peek at dictionary.reference.com gives us some likely help as well: 11. any division of persons or things according to rank or grade 23. Statistics. a group of measurements that fall within...

I personally find it an unecessary abbreviation. "fighter-magic user" doesn't really take that long to say and seems to get the point across. To those players I run across that don't wander the internet web sites, they have universally given me a blank look when I ask them if they know what a...

Amen

Yeah, that seems to be the topics that draw the most attention, and the ones that cause the most problems. I've pretty much gone back to lurking, as I get bored of watching people scream in each others faces and be rude.

And that sentiment should work in reverse, no? All the people voting 5 and 6 should calm down and perhaps relax their attitudes a bit; there are fanatics on both sides of this argument. No, WOTC isn't the worst thing in the multiverse, but rainbows and butterflies don't issue forth from every...

I cannot speak for others, but it isn't/wasn't perfection that I am interested in. Rather, the ability to meet minimum expectations. Providing eratta when one says they will. Putting products out when one says they will. Addressing problems timely, and when one says they will. This isn't a...

This. Especially this. I rated them a solid 5, for the reasons mentioned elsewhere on this thread. They have done very well by me customer service wise, product wise, and attitude wise.

Exactly. It feels/looks like a suit somewhere up the chain in Hasbro has a vision of how D&D can make more money for the company and is "suggesting" all sorts of changes that have moved the game into another direction. Put boobies on the dragon people. Dragons sell and boobies sell, so dragon...

I gave them a 2. My reasons echo many of those already posted above. In general I feel disappointed with the job being done.
