D&D 4E Presentation vs design... vs philosophy

[Garthanos]

Are you talking about 5e? If so, I've heard it mentioned and it has been talked about at my table.

Its barely a ripple and honestly 5e reeks of samey far more than 4e , with damage damage damage all day bloody boring fighters as a cherry on top.

Edition warring is, "My favorite edition is great, and yours sucks! Neener neener!"

Sounds like an argument a 3e fan would make is edition warring explicitly

Not more than 4e. Different than 4e, and it is a fair criticism of 5e.

I don't even understand that. You're going to need to explain that more clearly if you want me to respond to it.

"Your argument is just a 3e fan argument" so I am not going to address it at all ... is edition warring.

Compare the other statement to
"5e has 4e math (divide by 2 under the hood) and even has one of the same lead designers they must have been planning for 5e to tank"

 

[Garthanos]

Or to put it bluntly its like saying "5e is sabotaged it has Mike Mearles in charge and he worked on 4e"

Huh?

I have made no edition warring comments. This smacks more of avoidance to me, but whatever dude. Hell, I didn't even bring up 3e, so I don't have a clue where you even got that from.

Anyway, if you're going to falsely accuse me of edition warring and avoid answering, I don't see a point in continuing to converse with you. Have a good day.

I made his exact statement and swapped out 4e for 3e and you lost track that he even said it.

That right there is a clue it wasn't your statement i was still calling out as being bad form

 

[Garthanos]

Huh?

Obviously it didnt and somehow the lead designer being from 4e didnt magically cause it to tank or whatever it is someone thinks 4e is going to infect it with.
