No. Though the page was still there as of this morning, as soon as the online CB went live, the page was replaced with the one we see currently.

I tried it with Adobe, and Adobe didn't like the idea of making a PDF. Tried again using Cute PDF, and success!
Other than that, I've experienced the same problems as others. The errors seem to have gone down during the day.

I feel totally vindicated in my choice to discontinue my subscription to DDI. Bye, WotC. You have successfully fired me and my group as customers and we will happily play Pathfinder with Hero Lab forever more.

I can't figure out how to view a lower level version of my character. If I make a level 10 Monk, I can't find an option to see what he looks like at a lower level, like I can with the old CB. Anyone know how to do this?
Also, why can't I find Themes for a Homebrew Campaign? I assumed if it was Homebrew, it would open up all available options. Isn't there any way to make an Essentials build, using Eberron rules and a Dark Sun theme? I would figure that is the point of selecting Homebrew, but can't find where to get the Dark Sun theme...

It won't let you lower a character's level unless you change the XP, I believe- then you can either raise or lower the character to the level matching the XP. I read that at least one of the XP levels was off in some fashion, but I haven't seen that yet.
Homebrew and that type of mixing isn't currently supported. Right now only Dark Sun characters can use themes.
Edit: AsmodeusLore's list of errors is a pretty good place to check if you're seeing unexpected behavior.

Now, there was a weirdness with the CB. If I create an "essentials" character, it plays along as if essentials only (odd, its like it "marks" the character as essentials only).
If I set my campaign as darksun, I can choose themes.
Is there a way the two can combine (i.e. an essentials dark sun character), and I mean apart from creating a Dark sun character and selecting a Essentials build.

You mean by making a quick essentials character with Darksun stuff? Doesn't seem to be... Quick Essentials seems to be literally a quick essentials only character.

This is, so far, unsatisfactory.
While the interface is okay-ish, and certainly attractive, it doesn't allow any jumping around whatsoever. It's faster than I had expected, though.
I've tried to put in two characters from my Dark Sun game, and have had issues with both of them. First off, not implementing inherent bonuses is pretty crappy. Second, while I figured out you can allow for extra stat points, it'd be nice to have that implemented more smoothly. On the easiest character of all, I even had a bug - it's adding damage bonuses for Spear Expertise on all attacks.
It's vastly inferior to the old builder so far. Right now, it's not worth my continued subscription.

How do you do that? Whenever I try, it doesn't let me hit "next" at all unless one stat is below 10.

While you can't seem to right click paste(or right click anything due to Silverlight), you can keyboard ctrl-v paste (on windows) probably cmd-v i think on Macs (correct me if I'm wrong)

Well, sort or. Essentials Classes are available when you choose the DS campaign setting.
If you set things to sort by source (like when choosing a feat) HorFL shows up first usually.
Odd, but there you go.

Aside from the lack of scrolling (wow, that's irritating), my biggest problem is that it's in Silverlight, rather than the rather more universal Javascript. It means on most computers, I'd need to download something before I can use it, which kinda diminishes the value of having it online. Plus, Gmail is so much more responsive than the CB, it isn't funny.
Second big problem: I imported my level 19 shaman from my Dark Sun game... and I can't give him his Elemental Priest theme. Or sort him out as a Dark Sun character. So that's irritating. Then, when I go to build him as a new character (which takes quite a long time), I can't take his Invoker MC feat. (Yes, I know, but even the DS book mentions corner cases it can be allowed.) Like, it doesn't list it as homebrew or anything, the option's just not there. That's not really cool!
I'm not going to say this will drive me to another game system or anything... but I'm definitely keeping the old CB installed. I'm sure this will get better in time--one month from now, I expect it to be quite nice.

Sadly, no. I was hoping they would come part and parcel with it, given the book came out today. I really wanted to use those variable Tiefling stats.
Seems really slow to me, but then Firefox seems slow in general to me lately, so maybe that is it.
Not impressed with the over simplification. I kind of need to see the math to understand the implications of my choices.
What's with all the color? Do they not know we have to print this stuff out?
Just not a fan at all so far. It better get better, or they are likely to lose my as a subscriber.

Just made a level 9 Essential Knight (Fighter). At level 7 I get a Weapon Specialization, and it gave me Staggering Hammer. However, I equipped him with a longsword so I want to change the WS to Bladed Step.
Looked everywhere but couldn't find where I change make that switch. I can swap Powers, Feats, but no Weapon Specialization?
