Okay, I think that's enough of that. Let's get back to proper discussion of subscribing to DDi. Thank you.  |

Hah! Yeah, that's probably it--'cause the RPG industry is such a well-known path to riches. 
Cheers,

Probably shorthand for "Didn't Do It" when asked any question about recent changes.
Or "DID Do It"?? |

No, I didn't. I can't see myself doing so either. |

Grrrr...you guys aren't making it easy for me not having DDI...I have tried the character generator, and like Eric, if I had it myself, I would have trouble remembering to eat. |

8 days and counting for what? the visualizer? |

While we wait for the Visualizer (and as a Mac user, I imagine for me it'll be a long wait), I've been using HeroMachine.
Eight days and counting, Erik!

The Visualizer hasn't been released yet. I too am eagerly awaiting that feature to reach the public, because (as Erik knows from Gen Con demos where he worked to get a certain novel character modeled), it's crazy-cool (crazy? go!). |

I recently started playing quite a bit with the character generator and am now in serious danger of forgetting to eat.
It should also be noted that I was equally obsessed with e-tools when it came out, and this one works much, much better.
And then if/when I find the character visualizer (is it down at the moment? hasn't been released yet?), then I'm totally doomed.

Sure is, I'm doing some stuff with it right now. I need to send them an errata note, though--I noticed that Battle Runner, a sixth level utility Ranger Exploit from Martial Power, is listed in the Compendium as "Blade Runner," which is pretty hilarious.
I always said that, for me, the magazines make it worth the subscription price all by themselves (especially now that there'll be new monthly Realms content starting in May), and I would never have picked up this hobby in the first place if I didn't love paging through rule books, but I must admit that there are times when the Compendium is an easier route than going through eleven hardcover manuals and all the Dragon .pdfs looking for all the options and possibilities in a given situation! |

Can you just imagine what sort of game a company would produce if they didn't bother to do all that?
You might as well lock a half-dozen guys up in a little room by themselves and have them create in a vacuum.....
This makes me think of Starcraft: Ghost....so much work wasted as it was never released...

Now, Star Wars: The Old Republic? Woohoo! That's a game right there. |

Aha, good point there. Makes sense. A fair way to allow you to be able to have it in a number of locations without paying twice. |

Unless there's a particular need to patch a bug, the program only gets updated once a month with all the new content from that month. Though if you're me, 5 downloads means you have it installed on both your desktop and laptop machines. |
