[QUOTE="noretoc, post: 472716, member: 1276"] I know you are not making excuses. I agree. I put up with bug in almost all the software I buy. This is the only bit of software that I paid for that i did not like. Ill go back to my TV analogy, only because I ahve a TV, that was supposed to come with an auto channel guide and that never worked. I didn't see it as a big problem, but just as a comparison, here is what I imagone e-tools would be if it were a tv. See an add, for a 20 inch colorTV with 3d, hdef picture, flat screen, $1000, with a fully programmable remote.. You are looking forward to it. Then you hear that the TV dosen't have 3d. They couldn't fit it in. and the dropped the price to $700. Well, still not bad. Then you finnaly see it released, and it says, 20 inch TV, Hdef pic, flat screen, with customizable remote. Hmm, ok. Now you think you cant wait. You get it home, and it is Black and white ans has no sound. on top of that the picture goes out once in a while, and only channel 6 come in clearly. Well you talk to some people at the company and they tell you, they couldn't add 3d, because of cost. IT would have made the project too big.(map maker) They never had any real intention or putting sound, even thought it is very important to the way watching tv was. It was just too hard to implement (prestige classes). The programable remote allows you to control the tv, and turn it on and off, and turn your vcr on and off, but if you really want to have it do other things, you have to be able to take it apart and put in new chips that you make (the ability to modify the exel database.) As for the channels going, It is being worked on, and should be fixked soon. (bugs) Now months later, they say , hey we got an update to that tv. You say great, and grab it. Find that theyfixed the remote, so now you can change channels with it. Added a small radio, so you can try to get some sound, if you can tune in the right station and that is it. (added something not very important, and fixed one of the many things wrong.) Now wait It gets better. Now you start telling people what a crock this is, and they start telling you that it is High def, flat screen, and if you don't like it, don't watch it. Then you tell them You can only get channel six and they say "So, That is all I watch anyway" (EI, core rules, no prestige classes). Sorry this was long and ranty, but in a way I find it funny.
