Ok, time for a looooooooooooong overdue update on what I’ve been calling my “Character Builder”.

This project has forever been that one thing I had a cool vision for, but just couldn’t quite get it the way I wanted it to and with the constant often weekly character balancing changes, it just made it even harder to return to it and try to fix a lot of the problems with it.

DLC characters were always going to be tricky since I don’t have access to the data for them. That still hasn’t changed, but now with Beatrix just around the corner, I think its time to do something about it.

The first issue was with the fact that because it has been so long, the structure of the data I generate for my website has changed and I hadn’t yet set it up to run automated updates whenever a patch dropped. I’ve mostly got this part working now however the stats listed on skills appear to be more broken than they were before * yay *. On the plus side, I can now manually add the base stats and static skills and helixes for DLC characters easily without having to run a full update for every single character!

I’ve done base stats for all 5 DLC characters, but I have so far only done up a static version of Alani’s Skills and Helix.

Since the Winter Update is coming very soon, there’s little point in going through now to fix all the stat errors, but at least now I am ready to run an automated update to apply anything that isn’t still being hotfixed in.

This is just the beginning, I hope to put a bit of time into it in the near future and try and get the Character Builder back on track to where I actually wanted it to be months ago.
