What do you want most in D&D Beyond?

I'd like to have encounters interface between tokens.

Example:

I would be able to right click my token, select the option to attack, after selecting the opponent DnD Beyond would roll the dice for the attack\action that I selected. With that would show on screen if it was a hit/success or a miss/failure. In case of a hit it would open the option to roll for damage, showing the roll and the damage it would discount automatically from the opponent hit points...

Just one example...

Would it be possible to add a sorting option for skills on the character sheet by attribute (DEX, INT, WIS, etc.) instead of only alphabetical order?

Grouping skills by their governing attribute would improve readability and usability during play. A toggle between sorting modes would be ideal.

For the love of all that is good, can we PLEASE be given the keys to the prerequisites? I'm so sick of not being able to use the system as it wants to be used just because you don't give us an option to add in our own stuff like Eldritch Invocations, languages, or prerequisites.

It doesn't even have to be everything. Let's let us use Homebrew for Prerequisites so the system can function as intended.

I would like to see actual update notes of books they update in the app all the time !

 The backend-coded stuff like that is up for rework this year, according to the last AMA.

So we're likely going to see a ton of that kind of thing open up.

Oh my lord, please let this be true.

It's been mentioned several times those are typically formatting and copy fixes, stuff that doesn't change the rules of the game. Those types of change accompany errata documents. It's very unlikely they'd invest time making changelogs for how many periods have been corrected to commas, how many broken links now work, and how many errant spaces have been banished. 

I don't think the fingers would fall off if they write : "Corrected some typos".
With a little more info if they are in the physical books. Maybe I want to correct them as well.

This is fine in theory, but it isn't always actually true; they have made changes that affect the actual rules that aren't included in errata.

An example would be the spell Sorcerous Burst, which in the physical Player's Handbook uses the phrase "make a ranged attack roll". D&D Beyond used to say this too, but now it says "make a ranged spell attack". This actually does have an impact on the rules — most people assumed this was meant to be treated as a spell attack, but there were people arguing very intensely that it shouldn't be because it didn't explicitly say so — and this change doesn't appear in the official PHB errata or the D&D Beyond changelog. 

I'm not saying they should note every single corrected comma or broken link or whatever. Just that displaying a note that says something along the lines of "formatting fixes" with the book update would give people more confidence that it is actually just cosmetic changes that don't impact the rules.

 Hence why I said typically 

I want a la carte buy back
in your logic today i should spend 119$ to make a single character, since the features I need are in 5 different manuals, instead of maybe 10$ maximum like it was possible before

I think folders for characters would be fantastic. 

The only thing I want in D&D Beyond is a la carte purchasing back.

I hope someone at WOTC actually reads these forums, because removing that was the worst, anti-player descision WOTC ever made on the D&D Beyond platform. As a player, and not a DM, I don't need 90% of the book that covers monsters, items, adventures and lore bits. Just let me pay the few bucks for the two pages relevant to Drakewarden again.

If not, then split the book in half with a 50% discount. Anything after Chapter 2 is DM-only. 

The Tamer Class

The Tamer Class

Considering all of the missteps with 2024 and how they seem to explicitly target and destroy familiars/pets/summons, I doubt it.

Honestly, I want to be able to make custom character sheets, and I mean ones for a homebrew system I'm making. That and being able to make campaigns here using homebrew rules, as well as official Transformers D&D content.

Are we ever going to be able to filter through Feats by the Ability Score they increase? Since most/all general feats in 2024 are half feats, it would be nice to know at a glance which feats I could use to increase Int, Wis, Dex, etc.

 Probably not. It'd be better for you if you just compile a list yourself than it would be to expect it from Beyond. It's a bit of a niche demand, albeit one everyone has felt at one point.

 According to the recent AMA, that's extremely unlikely to change. It was removed because it adds so many extra checks on the backend that is causes a significant slowdown.

Its not a good excuse though, when a vast portion of your userbase are demanding the return of a feature, then you should find a way to streamline it so it causes less issues when implemented. They wouldn't even need t bring back le carte for individual things just grouping into bundles

Group 1: Book read contents and images & maps

Group 2: player options (all the races, archetypes, classes, spells, backgrounds)

Group 3: Items Both Magical and objects with stat blocks such as vehicles

Group 4: Monsters/NPCs

Just letting people buy one of four la carte bundles would be a massive improvement without adding too many backend check as before, What was also nice about the la carte was it let you see what it was you were buying so you new if you actually wanted it or not, you don't even know what is in the books your buying anymore without looking it up elsewhere, which is just dumb
