Web-Based CB is Live (Official Announcement)

One big thing that was a pain was attribute selection via point buy. With every +/- click the system seemed to run something in the background. Really, there's no reason to run anything until everything is chosen.

Yeah this was tough until I realized you could click on the "base score" and manually edit the value. Far easier...

Indeed, and it doesn't "update" your scores until you click in a different panel.

Something that probably should have been caught before launch, seeing as how it's happening pretty frequently.

Based on what I have been told, this is not something that could have been predicted.

Has anyone found how you do

a) Themes (I might have missed it)
b) Inherent Bonus

 

[renau1g]

For themes I think you need to select a DS character. There's a theme's box there.

A little bit more info on the Server problems:

This is not due to server load. The traffic to the website so far *is* being monitored and is well within what was prediceted and tested.

As for themes, they are currently only available for Dark Sun campaigns (which you have to explicitly choose at the beginning of the process.) I am not sure where the inherent bonus comes up. I didn't pay too much attention when playing with the program this weekend.

Heh, I hope the digital studio guys weren't planning on taking off for the holidays just yet...

All I have time for at work is importing some of my LFR characters (from iplay4e, lol), and some rough spot that jumped right out at me:

• Character sheet has no mouse scrolling; very annoying.
  
• Import fails to transfer character management notes.
  
• Furthermore, the new builder appear to not have implemented the journaling feature at all. Some folks won't miss this, but I use this extensively to journal my LFR characters; tracking gold, XP, items, story awards, etc., is pretty damn important in LFR.

I realize this is going to get better, and all, but they have their work cut out for them just to get back to the relative satisfaction levels the old product provided. We're tacking into some choppy seas here.

I assume he meant by pre-launch testing, not through augury.

But I doubt they did any testing on this junk.

Character sheet has no mouse scrolling; very annoying.

Every time I see this I just go "WHU??" because every time I view the character sheet, i simply click inside the character sheet part of the window(notice the little outlines on the page), it mouse-wheel scrolls just fine.

now, if you click outside of that, in the white surround, which is NOT part of the character sheet, then no, it won't scroll.

Nope, doesn't work for me.
