[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 5770605, member: 14291"] So 5e is on the way. WotC is looking to avoid the mistakes of 4e. They've got a good team. They've got the brand. However, they've got a huge target to hit and 4e will have the briefest lifespan in the brand's history amongst a fractured fan base. And we already see the love for the Edition Treadmill in play... A week ago, however, for the 4e fans, it was still the best edition of the game ever made. So for the 4e fans that are now ready to move to 5e, how did the announcement change things? Why? Did the announcement of 5e suddenly show you that those 4e critics were right all along? For the Pathfinder fan who's loving the game, why the desire for a rapid rise of a PF 2e? If Pathfinder was the extension of the d20 engine you wanted & you're happy with the way the game is evolving, why the hell are you pining for a PF 2e? I don't understand the desire for a new edition for games that haven't been out even 5 years. Hell, 3 years for 4e? 2 years for PF? Perhaps those clamoring for the new edition play a hell of lot more frequently than I get to, but I know it'll be [I][B]years[/B][/I] before I'll have scratched the surface of Pathfinder character concepts that I want to explore. Honestly, I'm weary of it. I love Pathfinder, but if Paizo threw it over for a 2e tomorrow, I wouldn't be making the switch. I don't want it. I certainly don't need it. One day, of course I'll be ready for a PF 2e. But that day is far, far down the road. Anyway, just curious. [/QUOTE]
