[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5382930, member: 21076"] At this point we pretty much know that your experience with the character builder has been positive. That's great! It sounds like you are getting reasonable performance response out of the application and it is working as you expect for imports and such. Unfortunately it seems many people are not having the snappy response times, are not satisfied with how the imports are handling their characters and are not happy with the functionality they feel they have lost with this move to an online CB. Many people here with long history of being very supportive of WotC are saying there are certain aspects of this online version they are not happy with. Many of these are saying they are not happy with it in its current form at release but hold hope that will improve. Neither side is wrong - either those that love the new CB or those that hate the new CB. Not everyone will be pleased and the constant it works for me going against the it doesn't work for me is not going to change anyone's experience with the application. Me posting that it is working poorly for me and not including all the functionality I desire is not going to suddenly make your experience with it be poor. Just as your posting that it works great for you and lacks no functionality for your usage is suddenly going to make it better for me. There is really nothing to gain from this back and forth. People have different expectations and therefore will feel differently about the online CB as well as any other product that is out on the market. People's expectations are not the same. [/QUOTE]
