Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 5013368" data-attributes="member: 2209">I like it. I've finally played one game of 4e this year, I've read the DMG and just got the holiday special of the PH and PHII and I'm 22 pages into reading the PH.I like a lot of 4e stuff, healing surges, decent at will attacks for everyone, the general balance of classes, encounter powers, encounter duration powers, save ends, monster design philosophy, simplified skills, pretty and easy to read books, etc. DDI looks great for those who play a lot and get it.Daily powers are still as anoying to me in 4e as they were in 3e and there are not really options to configure character mechanics to avoid them the way there was in 3e. Multiclassing is decent, but not as flexible as 3e.I don't like the lack of a rules srd the way there is for 3e. It took a long time for quickstart rules to be released for free. I didn't like the original pdf prices being so high (past what I was willing to pay) then their availability being removed entirely for apparently bogus reasons. The 3e ph was cheap plus the free srd was there to hook players into the game, it took the 2 for 1 deal more than a year later for the price point to be attractive enough for me to get the 4e PH at all. I dislike the fact that 4e is only open under the GSL instead of the OGL and so there are a ton fewer resources for it than there would have been. Game mechanics and game play I like a bunch of 4e. This makes my disappointment in WotC even more keen.</blockquote>
