We've re-imagined what we affectionately call the "Face Menu" - where you manage your Character Settings by clicking on your portrait. This change had a few goals in mind:
- We needed to accommodate an ever expanding set of options for Characters such as Dice and potentially other experimental features in the future
- We needed to fix the menu experience for smaller mobile devices
- We wanted to standardize on using sidebars for all clickable elements
- We wanted a better way to visually summarize the character, your portrait, and classes/sub-classes
Also we have released some updates to the Character Sheet.
- We've removed unused buttons from the read-only Character Sheet that would cause errors.
- Added more compression on Character responses
- Fix for Homebrew subraces and race variants not showing on the select race page in the builder for characters in a campaign
- Implemented lazy-loading of known spellcaster class spells when possible

Posted Jul 9, 2020Ya know... ya could share some specific criticisms, rather than just saying "the old menu was a lot better". As an example, I personally find it strange that it's right-aligned while the button is still on the left. It's more helpful to any devs who might read through these :)

Posted Jul 10, 2020Hi KaizerKhan - Welcome to the forums! I see this is your first post, and this isn't the appropriate thread for this question, as it's completely unrelated to the topic, but I'll ask the obvious first question:
Have you purchased the PHB here, on D&D Beyond? The Eldritch Knight is not free, SRD content, so you need to own the PHB to access it. If you own a physical copy, that won't give you the content here as DDB and WotC are two different companies.

Posted Jul 10, 2020It’s not a major, but I’m not in favour of having a huge cog appended to all of my character’s names. Nor is it obvious to new users what it’s for. Now that the menu is detached, how about a proper button by the Share button?

Posted Jul 10, 2020The whole menu is too big in my opinion. The Avatar photo and dice roller take up so much real estate - although I do like the ease and clarity of the dice roller toggle itself. Also not loving the fact that you make a selection in top left corner of the screen and the menu pops up on the right.

Posted Jul 11, 2020I'm not sure why folks feel that another thing with the overlay opening on the right is that big a change, when I clicked on other things in the middle, it opened the overlay on the right. It's better to keep the overlay on the same area so that folks can layout their browser properly. It can be all on the left or all on the right, but not both.

Posted Jul 29, 2020It probably looks great on smaller devices, but on a standard desktop the massive side panel is overkill compared to the nice compact UI that the drop-down menu previously provided.
