Is the Online CB Working Well Now?

[blalien]

I bought a one-month subscription out of morbid curiosity. The character builder is actually pretty nice. I built a few characters. It crashed once, but it backs up your data.

Unless you're a Mac user or need the Essentials or Dark Sun content, it's still not worth it though. There are some features they desperately need to add.

I still haven't been able to make a single character in it

Seems to work for a lot of people, have you considered that the problem might be at your end?

I find it kludgy

but there is some promise. I pay for DP Insider but use offline builder and latest hacks? Why, because I prefer it and paid for its development.

They can pry the offline builder from my cold/dead hands.

that said, if there's a link to a Dark Sun dataset for the offline builder, can someone forward it to me as a PM? thanks. I'm starting a new DS campaign this weekend and would much rather use the offline one, even though I already pay and have access to the online one.

Unfortunately it is not as I've tried multiple computers to try to use it. None of them have functioned.

As opposed to the completely 100% functional former builder.

For all those ubuntu/unix/linux folks about:

Well, we're currently implementing a lot of Silverlight 4 while we
wait for things outside of our control to be completed. We'll release
as soon as we're able, though with Christmas fast approaching it may
not be possible to co-ordinate everything for this side of the
holiday. The git changelog says things are very much alive though

Fingers crossed I'll be able to use this sometimes int he new year without jumping through hoops.

For all those ubuntu/unix/linux folks about:

Forget linux.

Real geeks use FreeBSD.

Or OpenBSD, if their especially paranoid.

Or NetBSD. (Official NetBSD motto: if it uses electricity, it can run NetBSD.) I believe there's a team out there right now trying to port NetBSD to a Kitchen Aid red toaster. For some reason, the blue one keeps crashing.

I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE toaster?

Or even the Darth Vader Bread Imprinting Toaster.
