I don't hate the new character builder, but I miss some old "features" from the previous one. Namely, feat and item scrolling. I despise having to click the "pick feat button" to be able to scroll through available feats, then having to click yet another button to get the descpition, and not being able to simply scroll through the feats and items with my arrow keys. Yes I know this might seem a bit nitpicky, but it's something I had become used to, and makes it alot faster to look over potential feats and items, which can be quite time consuming given all the options available. Can't we just assume when I'm in the feat section that I would like to select my feats, instead of giving me a button for each one? I much preferred the original CB's approach to feats. Also I would like to see the CB need to route back to the server less often. Picking out stats is infuriating, because every change takes 10 seconds, you press it, then it processess it, then it gets back to you. Instead, I propose, the CB route back to the server whenever you click the "next" button at the various stages. It would save some time. Finally, and I know this will sound vein, but can we please make the online CB look nicer? The original CB had a kind of aesthetic to it. It wasn't fancy, but it at least looked nice, it looked like it was made with care, and with the consideration that players might spend long periods of time browsing through, and using it. This new CB feels very impersonal. It's all white and bleached, it just doesn't seem to have any aesthetic value and it isn't at all nice to look at. It feels like no one took the time to make sure that the people using this product could look at it and identify with it that, yes, that is the character builder, that's what it looks like.
