[QUOTE="gill_smoke, post: 4328721, member: 14531"] [b]My frustrations[/b] Paraphrased the preceding post: [rant] I reported my displeasure and difficulty using the Wizards website a week ago. If you go poking a little bit, there are lots of things that are just inconsistent and poorly maintained. I mentioned that and cried about the search functionality. I couldn't find how the RPGA handles ordering adventures. It is not a complex user experience. But if you look at the web address it is ASP site, that means the layout and content is Database driven. I throw my hands up everytime I use the Wizards.com website. in fact these days I only go there from here to read the linked articles. There are certain things that leads to good website design. Wizards website has none of them. That total lack of consistency and impossibility of finding the data I'm looking for, makes me throw my hands up every time I go there. I think they need to revamp the entire site. If EN World can upgrade the entire site why can't they? After all that I have another complaint. The Compendium is not one. I remember being told that if I were a subscriber then I would see full text rules. if I were not I'd get page number reference. OK Second wind, how does that work? You get results for everything that affects second wind but not what it does. Sure, at that point I throw my hands in the air and say whatever. and the search results form it is obvious that it is not going to be added (no rules tab). Try cover too. Combat advantage? If it is a player reference cal it that not a rules compendium. [\rant] [/QUOTE]
