[QUOTE="HexGunna, post: 301510, member: 5375"] [b]Back in the Box??[/b] Dude - you've voiced everything I felt. And I took it back to my FLGS and got back my hard earned cash. In 30+ years of tabletop gaming history, I have yet to see a Good Commercial RPG Character Generator. Master Tools was to be that tool. I'd accept freeware that ran like E-Tools, maybe even from some start-up that had a nod from WotC. But we're talking aboout Fluid and WotC. Somebody there said "Alright - Now this is it, lets go Gold" and released ETools. I bought a new HDTV got it home, wouldn't turn on. Now like most guys I didn't read the manual, figured it was easy, plug it in hit the on button. Hour later after getting thru the manual, trying different outlets I called the store said come this P.o.S. I did not Open it up, I did not ask for service on it, nor did I wait for a recall on it. I said "COME GET THIS P.O.S!" And they did, and they brought me one that worked, They apologized and slipped me $100. Store Cred. You know why? Of course you do. And thats Why you oughta get your cash back, IF you're unhappy with the product, don't settle man, don't wait, no hoping. It's why we ain't got a good one now, somebody at Fluid/WotC thought it was okay to push this drek out on us... on me. Somebody there thought we'd be okay with it, we'll buy and settle, and if enough of us settle then maybe we'll get an expansion for it. I didn't settle. And neither should you. Any of you. Now if you liked ETools - please disregard my sober rant, It's nearly quittin time and I'll be intoxicated shortly :D For the record - There is nothing buggy about Etools, it didn't crash on me, it made most of the CRB characters. But there ain't a DAMN thing right about it either. no amount of 3rd party fixing - not tweaking, customising, or modifing, fixin' is gonna make it right. 'sides then you talking about a MSAccess license...or Breakin' the law :P [/QUOTE]
