I have been pining for the 4th Edition. But after one and a half years of regular playing I am unfortunately disillusioned.
On the one hand, I'm still angry that C7 released the ruleset the way it is now: with a bunch of mistakes that wouldn't have been necessary if you had just taken more time. They waited so long, I could have waited even longer for a good product.
On the other hand, the combat system is just really bad (all five players in my round think so, too). While reading through it I thought: "Wow, how innovative! And I still think it's good that you always roll the dice for defense in a fight. This is really a significant improvement. But Advantages? And the conditions? I don't want to have to do any accounting to depict a fight. Without COVID and therefore Roll20 I would probably have given up already... But it's not that easy, because there are powers and talents based on the fact that you use them. I think I'll finish my campaign and then it's over with the 4th Edition.
On the positive side, I would like to praise the careers and how they work now. I like that very much. The rest is also good to very good in my opinion. But when fights are no longer fun, then something goes wrong.
