[QUOTE="eriktheguy, post: 5504012, member: 83662"] Someone in this thread said that Wizards broke the monster builder. Was the math for leveling monsters actually working at some point? Did they break it with an update? Because they did the same thing with offline CB. They messed it up (made items impossible to buy) to the point of being damn inconvenient. Then they refused to release further updates and offered us the online builder. I could see it as a coincidence if it happened to only one builder, but if they broke both builders permanently before putting the online builders for sale it seems intentional. In any case, this is good news for me. When Wizards mucked up the character builder it catalyzed a community reaction to use 3rd party mods to fix it. They removed many bugs and even let you add house-rules beyond custom feats or items. Hopefully this recent development will spur a similar reaction in terms of 3rd party mods for the monster builder. I think it's too optimistic to expect this program to improve much. I was patient with the CB when it came out, but it still doesn't have the functionality to match the offline version. I simply think Wizards isn't going to give us this one. [/QUOTE]
