Simplify

Simplify everything! It is all too complicated. I want a place where I can post and link maps, add PCs, write session reports, do a couple of other things. Simply everything. I may just move to Obsidian Portal as I don't need all this stuff to have a good online presence for my D&D game.

I was just intensely frustrated.

The Team's Response

Hello Beans and hello Ethancochrane!   I am really sorry I haven't spotted this earlier. Ethan, I understand where you are coming from. This is not announced yet but there are plans to address your concerns, not by removing features but by making easier for you to customise what you see.   As you can understand, this can be very dangerous because hiding something means that you should have a way to reveal it back in and also carries the danger of missing important updates.   Due to this. This process is one that needs to be crafted with care and good planning.   If there are any specific frustrations you have, I would love to see a request clearly stating those, and if possible, a proposed solution for those. This kind of suggestions help me make your life better.   Dimitris

    I joined because I am a novelist and this is the greatest site for organizing everything. Timelines and family trees have been absolutely crucial.

    I don't get this at all. WA supports all those things and you can just ignore the ones you don't need (yet). The richness of the platform comes from the opportunity to add depth when you need it, but I've never found the interface overly complicated. There's a learning curve at the beginning, sure, and I'm always finding things out I didn't know, but it isn't rocket science. Perhaps best to just allocate a bit of time for pure learning before you need to use it in a hurry and it wouldn't seem so stressful. Plenty of good resources on the site and from helpful people of Discord, but it's really not that hard!

    You are being utterly rude and irreverent,   Providing no suggestion of what or why. Just going out of the way to trash other people's work and advertise another service on their platform.   Your lack of basic intelligence is no reason for a platform that allows for such amazing functionality to be simplified.   You should be ashamed of yourself for treating like that people who work to provide you with a service, you are obviously using.   I wonder if you'd talk like that if you were not hidden behind your keyboard.

    Then move to Obsidian Portal. While I might understand you're coming from a place of frustration, this is not the place to air your grievances. WA is a wiki environment, with extra features added in. If all you need is an online notebook, then try something like Evernote or a free Wordpress blog. You are not the only consumer here, and this product is as complex or as simple as you make it. Polling is a place for sharing your suggestions of HOW to make things simpler. POLITELY.

    This is very rude. There are more people than just D&D players on WorldAnvil, and just because you don't personally use everything, doesn't mean other people don't.

    This is a just plain rudely worded request.
