#HOW TO HOMEBREW 11.5 HOW TO#
They recently had to bite the bullet and implemented a fix for Rangers’ Favored Enemy feature that did in fact make some preexisting characters malfunction, and then they made the biggest announcement they could about the situation with detailed instructions for folks on how to fix their character sheets. Before, everything was so smooshed together that if they had tried to do any of the stuff on their list it would have been somewhere between Nightmare-“Just no.”Īt this point, the other major concern for them is that whatever they add or fix, they are trying desperately to make sure that however they do it the process won’t break anyone’s character sheets. (That’s why there is now a slight lag between updates to homebrew and those updates registering in the character sheet/builder.) And they did it all without crashing a anything more than a handful of homebrews, and as far as I know, without a single drop of rum. They had to do all of that before they could even begin to implement any of these changes, fixes, and additions that you see on the list. They had to redesign the Sheet Framework ust to make the darned Sheets capable of actually handling any of these changes they are doing, the old one was so rigid in its function that it literally could not have even coped with the next part. The next part was they had to very carefully untangle all of the content (all of the official content, as well as all of the Homebrew) off from the creation engine, and then move it off to a different server. It took them a little over a year to redesign the entire Character Sheet Framework, and then to untangle the Gordian Knot that had become of things as well. The way the initial system was unfortunately designed, it turned out to be rather immutable, and it was on a Monolith to boot. I guess the real question, to be fair, is how long features take to develop once they have started development on them, and not when they've been included in planning. I know that's arrogant of me to say, but I can't help but wonder why things take this long on this site.
I as a developer with no experience of the system could probable implement this feature over a time span of 1-2 months, where most of the time would be spent on learning the systems and testing the solution. Sorry to say, I think more could be done. So DDB is an amazing site, but the development speed of new features is really not good.
