[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 4054723, member: 5889"] I'll admit when I first read this thread I thought very highly of the 1-1-1-1 ruling. I felt that the increased simplicity was worth the loss of "realism". However, those on the 1-2-1-2 have made very persuasive arguments, and you should know you have made at least one convert. To me, it comes down to these points: 1) Consistent pathing. In 1-2-1-2 it doesn't matter which route you take to get to a target, for the most part it will always be the same distance. The biggest factor in a player's decision is avoiding any movement based Aoos (for which we don't know how those work yet in 4e). However, with 1-1-1-1, in many cases 1 path is far faster than others, causing players to take extra time trying to eek out the distance. 2) Abusive use of direction. As many in the 1-2-1-2 crowd has noted, there are several cases where due to moving in a certain angle you can completely blow by a defending enemy just by the path you take. A situation that is far rarer in the current system. So while I will give the 1-1-1-1 movement a shot when I try out 4e, I will definitely be watching these problems to determine if I'll stick with it. [/QUOTE]
