[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5771069, member: 58197"] It didn't change anything for me. I'm a 4E player and DM, but I have a lot of gripes about the game and I've been griping about them for years. Just because something is good doesn't mean there isn't room to make it better, and I do think 4E threw out a few babies with all the bathwater. (I used to use the status "edition war mercenary" because in any given edition war you could find me fighting for BD&D, AD&D, 3E, or 4E depending on the topic.) 4E was a bold experiment. In some ways it was a success. In others it was a failure. And in a lot of places it was a failure but could have been a success with more polish and playtesting. I'm excited about 5E because I see it as WotC's opportunity to build on the successes and learn from the failures, and because the team they have in place seems like about the best team they could have to do that. 5E isn't going to be [b]THE ONE[/b]. [b]THE ONE[/b] went out of print in 1989 or so. What we have now is [b]THE FOUR[/b], coming up on [b]THE FIVE.[/b] :D But more seriously--no, I don't expect 5E to be a perfect jewel of a game. By this time in 2017, I'll be snarking about all the stuff 5E got wrong, and right about then Wizards will announce 6E. And you know what? I'm cool with that. The game is never perfect, but my hope is that it will get better each time around. For me, at least, that's been the case so far. [/QUOTE]
