I already get enough of circumventing all obstacles with free movement in Descent, thank you. This might also lead to more free form map creation rather than the boring rectangular rooms and corridors over and over again.2. More balanced first year launch with regards at least to classes. I'd like to see an equivalent to a 2-2-2-2 split for both role and power source. The 2-2-4 and 1-2-2-3 splits seems to demonstrate how haphazard the run-up to the 4E launch was.3. More commitment to big design goals. The thing about roles being clearly defined so no one can easily make a crappy character gets negated as soon as you start talking about making hybrid classes. I want to see ideas worked on like "The economy makes sense" and "Simulation and ease of play are not exclusive". Whatever the ideas behind 5E are, I want them adhered to all the way through.4. This one I may recant after I've seen 4E in action, but I am very leery of 4E monster design. It seems like a throwback to 1E which was just a clusterfrak in terms of balance.5. Integration between products. Why does this concept seem so hard for WotC to grasp? Product managers I've worked with always have this in mind. You put out an adventure, sell dungeon tiles that match the rooms. Label them and tell us how to easily put the maps together. Sell miniature sets for the creatures in the adventure. I will gladly buy whole adventure packs that make the game as easy to set up as Descent.6. Speaking of which, change your mini distribution system. I really like the minis, but I will never buy them until I can see what I'm purchasing. If you can do it for Heroscape, and every other mini producer out there can sell individual figures, I think you can do it for your minis. Sell a whole set for every monster in the 5E MM, or in packs of like monsters. I will throw hundreds of dollars at your to get whole sets, but I'm not going to waste part of my life scouring Ebay for bits of plastic.I think 4E is going to make some huge strides towards a better game, but I'm sure I'll have more as we start to get materials.</blockquote>
