I played quite a bit of 4E, and liked it tremendously. But I completely agree with this statement: the power system did create a sameness to the way the classes played.I played 4E for the duration of it's run. I'm allowed to have an opinion and manner of expressing my impressions that you disagree with. Fighters in 4E felt like they were all casting spells until the release of essentials.
See, this is that edition-warring BS. You have one take on 4e based on your experiences, Oofta has another based on his. Stop denigrating his.
He jumped in on a thread where I said something to tell me I was wrong. In what world is that me doing something to him?
But nobody minds that every caster in 5e save the warlock plays identically, and in fact they want the warlock to be more similar to all the other casters
They literally weren’t spells though. It’s not denigrating anyone’s experience to say they weren’t, it’s just a statement of fact. One may have experienced martial powers as having not been meaningfully mechanically distinct from spells, and that’s absolutely valid. But that’s quite a different statement than claiming fighters cast spells in 4e.
Shockingly, that was Oofta’s point in the first place, while HammerMan and now you chide him for being wrong.
No no. No it’s different. And notice no one ever says wizards use martial exploits everything is fighter casting spellsBut nobody minds that every caster in 5e save the warlock plays identically, and in fact they want the warlock to be more similar to all the other casters
And when people say “there are too many similarities I not only don’t complain I agree. It got better as the edition went on and a new updated 4e with everything they learned remaking PHB would be better.
No his point was someone saying “no they were all powers they were not spells” is somehow both wrong and a personal attack.Shockingly, that was Oofta’s point in the first place, while HammerMan and now you chide him for being wrong.
