[QUOTE="RevTurkey, post: 6062945"] I would like to repeat that I hope this new edition is fantastic. I am not a game system designer and neither are most of the people thinking they have the 'answers' for this next edition. I would be happy to forget about play-testing and focus groups and all those other things that tend to dilute designer's visions and original intentions in exchange for a game with a really strong sense of identity. I think that WoTC should have spent longer on writing an Alpha Play-test. Then spent longer letting us play with it and examining our feedback. Then responding with a Beta test. Then, again spending longer investigating opinions and findings. Then....go away and make the final game. The drip fed test we are getting, written ahead of feedback inspection is, in my cynical grumpy opinion...a little bit muddled and pointless and as I have suggested...perhaps more about keeping us invested in the brand while they beaver away without product after the abandonment of 4th Edition. I'm done now. I have repeated myself in three different ways and frankly I am boring myself now. Have fun, fingers crossed they make a great game :D [/QUOTE]
