| #7edwin_suOct 17, 2014 17:30:05 | question from feedback portal.
Q : the race and class sel;ector should include a summery of their bonusus trairs etc. A : in the adroid version abilty score mods are added, there will be a link to the full info in the popup box but the information in the slider will be limited. as time goes on we will decide what is the most nneded information and add that information.
6:20 Q : editing basic information, changing thing like background race class etc. A : a major change like your race is problematic program wize as you have to take out information and add new choices for the new race. it is not a simple question of changing one box from high elf to human. we will look into what it takes to change those things, but make some time
11:00 Q : how will custom backgrounds be aproached. A : the choice of actual backgrounds effects things like starting equipment and skills and will be more dificult and will need a person to create a custom background in the forge. you can change thing like bonds flaws and ideals more easely.
13:00 Q : skill proficiency selection not exactly clear. A : all of the selections made after you select your equiment are class and background related. so if you select profieciencies from your class this will be on another creeen to selecting them from your background. we eill make it more clear where you get the proficiencies from, and will implement that you see the skills you have selected appear greayed out so you know what you already have. and this is already implemented in the IOS version. |
| #8edwin_suOct 17, 2014 17:40:00 | Q from chat
15:07 Q ; may a option be avilible where a Dm makes a list of backgrounds classes and races availible in his campaign and distibutes this to his players, so only aproved options show up when making a character. A : you will be ablr to select open play in character generation you will be abe to create characters specific for a orginised play season, and that will limit what options are availible for you to use. there would also a option for home rule on the same screen where the Dm can say for this party in my capaign I am defining dragonborn will not be allouwed,
getting late here will add others some time later. or other people can do so if they want to. |
| #9dafrcaOct 17, 2014 23:38:49 | Ok, the more I hear the less I think this tool will be what I want.
I lost count how many times they said fetures I wanted were not important or not needed. |
| #10edwin_suOct 18, 2014 2:40:24 | I think one of the major things mentioned is that the app will hav a e-reader paert and you will have your books there in digital form. many people asked on these forums if WOTC would create PDF or simular digital versions of the books.

| #11BoldItalicOct 18, 2014 4:45:38 | It was useful to hear them talking about their approach - it helps to put what we are seeing in the beta into context.
They know they are not going to please everyone and, to me, they came over as a bit defensive. But they were responding to criticisms in the feedback forum, so that's perhaps not surprising.
Something that I found slightly disturbing was that the dev guy didn't seem to know what was in the Basic pdfs and thought they were the same as the starter set - pregens only and nothing beyond level 5. It sounds like character generation for the Basic game, which is, after all, free, won't be supported with corresponding free content. I think there's a mis-match here. But maybe WotC want it that way.
Otherwise, it was a good show. |
| #12KugnarOct 18, 2014 6:13:35 | One thing that kind of annoyed me was around 26 minutes in when they were talking about how they wanted to add in prompts for when you changed weapons on the sheet to remind you about how you couldn't wield a shield if you switched to a 2-hander, and things like that, but the WotC dev team made them take it out because it was "too video-gamey". To me it sounds like a great feature that reduces mistakes in game, I really don't see the problem with it. |

| #14Mystic_LemurOct 25, 2014 19:51:29 | The linked video says that it has been removed. Probably a good thing, since what y'all have posted would just irritate me to watch. |
