Can't get any maps to load be it google drive, imgur, or dropbox. Can't bring up maps from the module straight from dnd beyond. Complete trash
Used to be 5 stars here. Now, Above VTT doesn't allow me to enter copied notes from the source books or even write my own notes on the maps. Cannot place some tokens anymore. Many of my character and NPC tokens have turned into "soap bubbles" with no faces on them. What is happening??? Can't you guys fix this?
love what ive seen it do on youtube but i have not been able to load any adventures....im lost in an endless loading screen with an eye tyrant just taunting me forever.
It's become a buggy mess.
its awesome really is but im only giving 2 stars because it does not work on mobile and not every1 has a pc or can afford one but everyone in this day has a phone. it seems crazy to leave it out of mobile. if my players could use it on thier phones would be and easy 5 stars however i will be continueing my search for a mobile vtt that doesnt cost an arm and a leg
Above VTT is functionally average. The issue with it is that the dice are completely broken. I'm pretty sure I've rolled more 2's on a D20 to hit roll than all other numbers combined. Just before this, to prove my point, started rolling and just kept rerolling until I got a result that was 11+. That took 7 rolls. So I keep rolling. Now I'm seeing how long until I get a 19 or a 20. The answer is 37 rolls. So it takes 37 times to get a result that is 1 in 10. Okay fine, so how about getting that magical 1 in 20 roll of 20?? That took 57 tries. How many 1's and 2's along the way? LOTS OF THEM. Consistently rolling this bad suck all the joy out of playing D&D. And it's not like this was just me saying, "Gee I wonder how fair the VTT/Beyond Dice are??" I came into this review KNOWING it was broken after being forced to play on this hell-spawned extension for months and months. I knew exactly what my little test run would look like. Six 1's. Ten 2's. One 19. One 20. It's the fact that it's so consistent that's infuriating. As a sometime GM I will never ever ever subject my players to this hell. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY FIX YOUR DAMN DICE ROLLER!!!
Very slow and laggy sometimes
this vtt works well most of the time, but an option it is severely lacking is a universal "toggle vision/light" on and off for all tokens. the feature is difficult on devices and can cause lag, and it's a lot of work to do it for each token. otherwise, it's a nice clean vtt! just wish there were more user friendly options
Loving the tight integration with DDB! Only things missing for me is I am running Descent into Avernus, but that is not an option for maps. So I guess only certain Adventures are supported. Also, I would like to use my own maps instead.
I suppose this is a good attempt, however most established DM's are already using VTT that are further along with development. I'm surprised DDB went with a brand new VTT instead of working with one of the established communities. Plus the Brand New VTT is still an alpha build, this is often a concern as you are asking the community to tell you what is wrong with the VTT. Does DDB plan on allowing animated mapping system, customizable tokens, advanced DM tools other than an encounter builder? This still requires DM to use a variety of programs to develop their required material. It seems safer to use an established platform (Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, Foundry, talespire, the new VR setups that are coming out). If DDB really wanted to impress us they would have used something using the unreal engine to develop their VVT.
