[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5382177, member: 710"] The track record of WotC in the digital arena was getting better, IMO. The Character Builder got continual improvements and was well-liked by most of its user. It wasn't perfect, but you could see how stuff got added and how useful it was. I was happy and I was confident further software might come that would be of similar quality. I was looking forward to extensions to the Adventure Tools that might allow building encounters and printing them out and more. But instead, what I first got was the announcement of the discontinuation of the best product in their line-up, and the release of a tool serving the same purpose but - for the start at least - with less functionality. That already annoyed me. I didn't want less functionality. But okay, with time it will come, I thought, so fine. But now I get a product that's not just lacking functionality compared to what I had, but also is less stable and has worse performance with a questionable UI design. That creates the worry in me that the "track record" I had started to see and bet on (they're getting better! Yay!) was just a fluke. [/QUOTE]
