New Character Builder from WotC!

[Danzauker]

You don't have to. Unsubscribe until it's "finished", what exactly finished means when by it's very nature it is constantly being updated and patched, if only in terms of content (but from experience with the original CB, that isn't the case).

Most players aren't "expected" to pay ... they are willing to pay because given the choice of unfinished software or no software and more waiting, they'd prefer something that does MOST of what they want, to nothing at all. The core functionality (can you create a character using the current rules, have it make some of the more annoying calculations, and be able to print it out as a usuable character sheet?) is there ... It is merely missing stuff that is down on the priorities list ... way below the "release it on time this month" priority.

Of course I don't have to. And I won't do it.

And when I say "expected" to pay, I mean that since they provide the software on a license basis, well they of course "expect" me to pay for it. There's no doubt that those who pay do so willingly.

I don't think I'm better or smarter than anyone. Everyone is entitled to spend his money in whatever he thinks is a good investment. I'm just stating my opinions.

As long as I am concerned, a piece of software that basically all it does is create and edit documents, and is limited to just 20 of those documents, is not missing some non core functionality down on the priority list. It's SEVERELY CRIPPLED!

I mean, I can hardly create and store a sheet for a 1st level character of every class published in the core books! and not to talk about class/race/build combos!!!

I wouldn't give such a thing 1 dollar even if it was an amateur mobile phone app!

Unless they provide me something else with DDI that's worth my money, let's say, more and better magazine content, I'll guess they'll have to wait for my money unless they satisfy my personal minimal requirements.

The new CB seems to be up and working right now.

Building a Dark Sun character right now...

I just reloaded the Character Builder Launch Page, and instead of the splash page, it asked me to update Silverlight.

CB is a go go!

Go link go!

Mad min-maxing munchkins mobilized!

It's like waking up and realising it's christmas!

Oh my goodness...

Is it my imagination or is it set up so that Essentials builds can only take Essentials feats? Did they just "silo" Essentials from earlier content?

**** FALSE ALARM. I'm just a moron.

I thik that's only if you choose an essentials only character... If you build one from scratch, you can take whatever you want.

Oh! Ooops. Seriously, my eyes are really getting worse. I didn't see that option at all -- skimmed right over it.

I know why you're here, gamer. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for it. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when it found me, it told me I wasn't really looking for it. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.

When is the Online Character Builder going live?

The answer is out there and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.
