[QUOTE="Moorcrys, post: 5380383, member: 7814"] I don't. The Windows-based program allowed me to create a character. At the moment, the web based version doesn't. I spent a couple hours trying to create a character last evening and it would crash every time I tried to pick a skill, then would crash when I tried to recover the character on the load in screen. I am a huge fan of 4e and have no problem with how they implement the web-based builder. Use silverlight or whatever, I'm fine with it. I do have a problem with the fact that it was released as bug-ridden as it is. I have no problem rolling with some errors and glitches while they get it running, but I can't build characters with it and that to me is worse than the old, functioning, character builder. Of course it's going to be fixed over time, and that's great. And if it's worked just fine for some, fantastic. But there are obviously a significant number of people who can't even load the program, or who cannot run it consistently without it crashing. That's not whining or unreasonable frustration and they're not making it up to be difficult or stir up some mud - there is an expectation of basic functionality that isn't being delivered on for a significant number of people. Sure, give Wizards some leeway, but the CB not up on their website as an Alpha test. People have every reason to be upset with this kind of product delivery. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
