Last chapter was about paragon campaigns.
A single chapter out of a 200+ page book- so it wasn't focused on paragon campaigns?

With all due respect, there are real issues in the world worth genuine ire. Failure to publish a supplemental book for a hobby game isn't one of them.
I think in the last few months, we have finally begun to see paragon adventures in Dungeon...epic is not really considered a "success" in 4E (though I am sure it has worked for some people) and is (a small) part of why we are getting 5E.
In all seriousness, this could be something for a fan project. (ie us).
Overall I think the game has always broken at Epic, and 3.5 and 4E are just examples.
Just handing out more bonuses, and having higher hit points and the like is not enough. In 4E, epic characters were only really epic because people said they were epic. You would not know it from looking at their sheets. Sure they were nice in combat, and deadly out to about 20 squares or so but is that epic? I do not think so.
I am not sure how to solve this problem, but maybe a separate game is the way to go, when the heroes play in the realms of the gods.
Might be a good module for 5E to explore.
This is my feeling exactly. Epic Tier should have been about much more than doing another 100 points of damage a round. I figured, if any game I ran ever got past 20th, I would stop giving out XP and have the PCs become rulers of the world. Then they have much bigger things to worry about than killing some Ogres (unless it was that Ogre army marching against their northern border).
