The connotations of most people in this thread's posts is certainty that it MUST be the worst case scenario because bad things have happened..
DM, player & homebrewer(Current homebrew project is an unofficial conversion of SBURB/SGRUB from Homestuck into DND 5e)
Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
My words are meant to be taken in a literal context. Anyone reading deeper into my posts is wrong to do so.
yeah, but they dont have to shut down anything to do *testing*.
While we don't know how the backend is actually coded, it's reasonably likely that they can update at least some parts of the backend without taking down the entire site, and I'd be surprised if they don't have a test server -- it's just not publicly accessible because it's for internal testing. To the degree the site has issues, they're almost certainly due to rather low development staff.
whole new website change and yet two years later no fix for 2024? crazy how broken this site has forever stayed but they charge more and more i actually hope WOTC goes under at this point they are pathetic and pointless to their brand
Reporting this again common WOTC listen to your customers
They've already stated in more than one place at this point that this is something being fixed in the complete rebuild they're working on, supposedly this year. Though it's more than a little ridiculous we have no kind of time frame on that yet.
Large-scale projects are hard to attach a strict timetable to.
They've definitely done work on the character creator, though since the quickbuilder only works for level 1 characters it hasn't done anything related to agonizing blast, but the reality is: using agonizing blast on anything but eldritch blast is either a flat bad idea, or relies on disputed rules interpretations (mostly the weapon cantrips; it's not clear whether it actually applies to any of them because they don't do damage directly, they permit you to take a different action that does damage).
Friend, in case you have not noticed, in the 2024 PHB, it states that Agonizing Blast may be applied to ANY warlock cantrip that causes damage. Irregardless of whether you think that is a bad idea or not, that is what the printed rules say and the DnD Beyond Character Builder is obliged to follow and obey the printed book. Otherwise, what is the purpose of having the Character Builder?
Also in regards to "It's worthless to take agonizing blast on anything other than Eldritch Blast" is such a dumb hill to stand on? Like the stance of in the case of most optimal min-max capability you need/should do (x) is not the point of DnD as a whole its kind of the point of an RPG to give some agency. And if you look at some of the subclasses of warlock using agonizing blast on a different cantrip works in favor of flavor as well as for the class itself. Take Celestial warlock for example taking a cantrip with fire or radiant damage and putting agonizing blast on it would lend itself to focusing harder on the level 6 feature of adding your modifier onto spells that deal fire and/or radiant.
The whole point of this thread is the pointing out of HEY THE FEATURE IN THE GAME FOR WELL OVER 2 WHOLE YEARS is still not in the character builder and this isn't the only thing that's like that in terms of the content the character builder itself is flawed in many ways and if WOTC doesn't plan to ever fix it what is the point in giving money to not be able to use any of the content you are suppose to have access to?
My point is: if I'm prioritizing bugs, that one's pretty low on the list.
