Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 4285672" data-attributes="member: 891">I was on these forums before, during, and after the release of 3E.I don't remember anything close to the level of hostility for 3E that we're seeing now for 4E. The vast majority both here and on Wizard's forums was pro 3E. A few people expressed interest in sticking with -1E-. You'd get maybe one post every few days advocating some portion of 2E, but I can't recall any that wanted that version as a whole or even in majority.There were comments about some aspects of 3E that people were unsure of or doubtful over -before- it came out. But once it was out almost all of the reviews were positive. The complaints tended to be about claims that 1/2 Orcs and Sorcerers were too weak.It took a while for people to even find the key bugs - Haste and the the AoO spiked train trick (which required a feat from Sword and Fist), and the other things that came out over time.The worst thing that ever happened was selling WotC to Hasbro. From that point forward, we've seen the creatives slowly and sometimes rapidly trickle out.I couldn't understand why it was done when it was done. I remember being in that minority (there were a number of us here, but we tended to get shouted down over on the WotC forums) that yelled out 'Doom, doom I say!' and get laughed out by people who, a few months later, were in the unemployment line...</blockquote>
