Is there any backend development going on to fix issues with existing content? It seems like we've had several pieces of content that are basically non-functional for months.
Of the top of my head, there are several examples: Dragonhide Belt not applying bonuses to Ki save DCs. Dragon's Wrath weapons not properly populated by type. Abberant Mind/Clockwork Soul spell selections. Class based casting implements applying to non-class spells in error. Steel Defenders and other subclass pets don't properly have working sheets.
The last known issues update for Tasha's content was in February 2021. The last response reporting a fixed issue in the Fizban's thread was October of last year. It's crazy to me that we have had books out for over a year that are being "worked on" with no deliverable results, status updates, reports, or anything else. D&D Beyond won a lot of users over because it had a slick, convenient interface and it "just worked". It has become increasingly frustrating to pay for content to have to homebrew fixes, variants, and bypasses for issues that have been known and "worked on" for literal months by people who are ostensibly being paid to do the work. Did you fire your entire development team except for those who implement new content? Is user experience not a priority? It really detracts from the quality of the service when issues like these are left completely unaddressed for years, with only piecemeal "easy" fixes coming through the pipeline or implementations only being made when new content builds on something that should have been implemented long ago.
