[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5399241, member: 1210"] Yes. This is my biggest gripe about DDI right now- they are providing [i]none[/i] of the things that a DDI sub is supposed to. The Compendium remains incomplete. The Character Builder Classic has been abandoned and is no longer complete, while the new online CB is barely working and, realistically, is a beta test version. So there is no working complete CB offered. The old Monster Builder just got raped with an "update" that didn't fix any bugs and removed all the RPGA content, while a new MB is promised as a beta sometime, hopefully by the end of December (but no promises). So there is no working MB offered, or any other of the virtual tools that WotC sold the 4e community on. The online magazines have dwindled in content, and much of the content is preview material (or, as some would call them, ads). The maps are largely Dungeon Tiles thrown together into lame and ugly configurations (to encourage you to buy the tiles, natch) and the 'adventures' are mostly delves. I've been a firm supporter of WotC until very recently while acknowledging their many mistakes along the way, but the complete lack of anything completely usable- the fact that DDI is offering me substantially [b]less[/b] than it was a few months ago, with the stripping of content from the MB, the bug-inducing MM3 format update, the new CB being so incredibly unfinished, the lack of material making it into the Compendium- damn it, what am I paying for? It's as if I bought someone's complete collection of Jack Kirby's Eternals, only it was missing #1, 4, 7-8, 15 and the annual. [/QUOTE]
