[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5549107, member: 82425"] My favorite bugbear. WOTC recently replied (in rule of 3) that the "suggestions" area in feat selection is how they choose to deal with this. i.e. the software will put forward your best options. It has to have been the most woeful response to a complaint I have ever seen a company give. 1. So often the "suggestions" are strictly not what we want for our characters. Does the software have a "psychic" module that it can read our minds? There is no way of converying to the suggestions what our intention is! 2. The list is still massively bloated, which means if it isnt in the suggestions area (90% of the time given that suggestions are most often wrong) we still have a painful search ahead of us 3. The list is still massively bloated, making for painful load times in CB 4. How does this help people not using CB? 5. WOTC, are you listening to your customer base wants, or dictating what you believe? 6. What about inappropriate feats, such as campaign specific where we are useing homebrew, making for an ill match. Or feats that we wish houseruled out? 7. What about feats that arent obsolete, but are so woeful or ill-conceived (early days Dragon 4e content, Im looking at you!) that no-one ever takes them anyway. 8. (CB specific) What about when I am, for instance, putting together a character focused on Hevay blades, why oh why oh why keep displaying "Devestating Axe" to me???? ...Im stopping now, just so many gripes about this. I cant help but feel that WOTC's demonstrates that they are underestimating this issue. 3066 feats (just check compendium) is just too much for any game and its making things painful. [/QUOTE]
