Improvements were outweighted by directions i did not like (and ignored). I guess that would be the same with Pathfinder for me. I guess 1e people have a similar feeling with 2nd edition. There is improvement, but compared to the version before it seems like no real improvement.Some people hat essentials. I believe, the more loose design constraints did the game very well. Other people disagree.The 5e modular approach seems like a good Idea to me. Announcing it so fast was not trying to kill a good system. I hope, they don´t do the mistake and kill 4e. Why should they? Nothing to lose for them. Actually rereleasing older editions would be their best bet. Hey, they still have the 3.x srd somewhere on their homepage. Which is enough to play 3.5 forever.If WotC is honest, and I trust them more than a bunch of armchair designers, they need to announce it right now. How should they make a public playtest, that runs a useful amount of time, if they announce it too late?Even blizzard announces games years before finishing or giving access to playtests. So just chill. Look at the rules, and then decide which part are revolutionary and which evolutionary. I guess you will find most rules in 5e based in elder editions.</blockquote>
