The tragedy of 4th edition.

[cildarith]

My IT friends call 4E "D&D Vista".

Sounds pretty tragic to me.

Heh.

To me, the real tragedy is that OD&D, 1E, 2E, 3E and 3.5 never met the "tragically low" quality standard of 4E. I guess D&D just isn't the game if you want editing perfection.

If you don't have anything on topic to say would you mind not posting unprovoked and irrelevant attacks on other editions?

You know what the real tragedy for D&D is?

It's becoming that the only thing really, truly wrong with 3.5 or 4.0 or whatever edition of D&D you play is...

...the people who play it.

I concurr.

tragedy indeed.

So it's a pretty significant upgrade under the hood, and there's nothing wrong with it, but a vocal community spends hours upon hours saying it sucks?

All I'm saying is that when you've been burned five times before, maybe putting your hand in the fire for the sixth time isn't the best course of action. D&D has been amateur hour for 30+ years now (which really says something about the industry in general if it's the top dog), and you didn't pay attention to the precedent set by previous publishing efforts.

Caveat emptor and all that.

So according to you its perfectly OK for D&D to have bad editing and broken rules?
Thats not very convincing.

I never said it was okay. I just said it's nothing new, surprising, or unexpected. It's like a vicious dog that has already bitten you five times... if you let it in a sixth time, the odds favor you ending up with some bite marks.

Which more or less means "Don't buy 4E".
Sounds like a tragedy to me when people start doing this...
