+1. People should be to access what they’ve paid for and subscribed to. This is a terrible decision and undermines faith in the platform moving forward.
This Spell cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
2014_Simulacrum is currently too similar to Simulacrum to share with the community.
If the owner of the campaign doesn't want to do this, every single player has to make their own HB copy of every spell that they want to use the 2014 version of? Cmon man
Adding my voice to the cacophony. I will absolutely be switching systems and will encourage everyone I play with to as well if all the spells and magic items I've paid money to access are no longer available. It's completely unreasonable to say that we can simply homebrew the 2014 spells and items. We already paid to access them. I will not get the 2024 books when we know the rug will just be pulled again.
Completely agree. I already had major issues with WotC which caused me to cancel my subscription some months ago, but now my confidence in them is irrevocably shattered. I feel betrayed, and even walking back this decision won't change things.
I will never buy another product from them. All 2024 content is forever banned at my tables, and my players are strongly discouraged from using DDB. I hope their corporate profits (which are the only things they care about) suffer greatly.
Add me to the list of unsubscribers if they do this. The entire point of D&D Beyond is that D&D Beyond enters spells, magic items, classes, etc. into a digital character sheet for easy(ish) use.
Who in the Hasbro thought this was a good idea? At this point, I can only assume they're TRYING to lose customers.
I will finally be switching to Pathfinder and never ever again purchase anything ever again not only from DND Beyond or WotC but also Hasbro and any other company that has passing involvement with any of these companies if this decision isn't reversed, this is straight up theft of content. My Master tier sub is as of this moment cancelled, just like I cancelled until the OGL decision was reversed last year.
Unsubscribed a few hours ago. Master Tier subscription for the last few years with hundreds of dollars of purchased content. You tricked me with the about turn after the OGL.
I 100% agree. I am running a campaign in its SIXTH YEAR, and we have been using D&D Beyond exclusively during that time. We don't want to change rulesets this late into our campaign, and there is no way in hell that I am going to homebrew the hundreds of spells from the 2014 PHB.
PLEASE give us the option to toggle which ruleset we use for each campaign. I don't know why that wasn't the approach you took in the first place.
Hell, they could have just renamed the old "Conjure XXXX" to "Legacy Conjure XXXX" and then added the new version as well.
That's it. That's all they ******* had to do.
I wish it were that easy... cause all the tooltips and links are going to point to 5e24 content. So you won't be able to click the link and access a 5e14 goblin statblock. You'll be redirected to the 5e24 statblock instead. We need to cancel subs and start demanding refunds on the basis of theft of content.
I agree with you, on a practical and moral level. I just don't think you're technically, legally right, which is the only kind of right Hasbro cares about.

My thoughts exactly. It defies belief how hard Hasbro is working to alienate people from its own system.
And instead of rewarding and reassuring those of us who are still here, they just keep pushing.

the HB solution doesn't even work...

I agree, mark all 2014 material as Legacy, keep it linked in the existing character builder sheets and only allow 2024 material on new characters.
Yup, this truly breaks the 2014 character builder sheets.
No this is terrible too. Allow 2014 content with a toggle on new characters. Why lock new characters to 2024 content only?
It is becoming more and more impossible to have any faith in this company. Are they trying to fail for insurance reasons or something?

If I have to manually recreate 2014 content that I've bought, then I'd much rather do it on Roll20 than on this site.
I was being too simple-minded...

100% Good riddens to bad rubbish

Fool me once... I'm done with D&D.
I 100% agree.

This is actually so sad, I really do hope they rescind this decision and just go with the legacy idea.
