Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scrivener of Doom" data-source="post: 5389006" data-attributes="member: 87576">[MENTION=83964]Chzbro[/MENTION]: I've always defended DDi because of the cost. It really is cheap as far as I am concerned. What bothers me is the decreasing level of utility.Character Builder It's OK. Assuming the site doesn't crash next time we're building updating characters I suppose I will give this a pass. Of course, I would love the ability to add house rules but I don't believe WotC has the management and/or programming talent to deliver on this.Monster Builder This is probably my biggest beef. The update for MMII basically destroyed the MB. I use the MB for custom monsters... all of which were "damaged" by the update. I sometimes wish I had cancelled my subscription before the MMIII update just so I had a properly-functioning, relatively bug-free MB I could continue to use.Dungeon, Dragon & AmpersandDungeon should be renamed Delve. It is not the Dungeon of old. Two delves a month with maybe an adventure of a reasonable size every 2-3 months is not what Dungeon is supposed to be about. Either rename it to reflect what it has become or find someone with the vision and clout to return it to the days when it had content.Dragon is OK but also suffers from a relative lack of content but at least it's not as bad as Delve, oops, Dungeon.Ampersand is a joke. Here's the head of the D&D brand and most of his articles come across as, "Look at me! I'm feigning importance!" Bill needs to take a leaf from Matthew Sprange's book. When Mongoose stuffed up, Matthew didn't take refuge in his own website writing his latest hagiography or otherwise telling us what a great job his company was doing. He came out, 'fessed up to the stuff-ups and committed to fixing them.You wouldn't know from Ampersand that D&D customers/fans are rather browned-off with WotC's continued inability to deliver digital products on-spec and on-time... and hiding behind statements that no commitments were made further demonstrates that the WotC leadership have all had orchidectomies. So, Bill, grow a pair; use your next Ampersand column to talk about what has gone wrong and make some actual commitments. And one of those commitments should be to keeping your customer base informed. You don't have to give a firm date; just let us know that you're working on things that we actually care about (because we're fans and well as customers).</blockquote>
