i know this will be pointless but I HAVE to vent.
The current interface for PFS is absurd. Its exceedingly complicated, it takes too long, and it is very error prone. With an error apparently causing Core characters to irrevocably become shifted to the regular campaign.
The instructions don't even mention what has changed with the Core Campaign. Some pointers and hints would be kind of nice.
So, first I have to add the scenario manually before reporting it (As opposed to just selecting it when I reported it like I used to do). Fine, I guess I can live with that. Be nice if the instructions told me this
Then, I start entering things. If I get ANYTHING wrong a rather subtle warning message tells me that it will convert everything to Core. That Error message should be a LOT clearer (at the least, it should be some kind of ask me twice box)
Whoever decided that was an appropriate action to automatically take was in error. Its intensely bad design.
So, I enter PFS IDs one by one. If one of them isn't core I get that subtle little warning messsage. I then cannot just delete that record or overwrite it. No, I have to completely leave the session and start again.
Or, at least, nothing else that I did caused the warning message to go away.
So, I enter things. And, despite everything being correct, as far as I can see, nothing makes the warning message "Prestige does not count. Missing character number" go away. Its populated the fields correctly but still wants to warn me.
So, I post. Kinda looks like it worked. Except there is a message that I've already run the scenario. Which I did, in non Core mode of course.
I really hope that things improve. You've turned what used to be an unpleasant time consuming chore into something much, much, much worse.
We continue to work to improve the interface, it's seen a lot of changes with the new programs. The issue you mention with the GM's being flagged for running scenarios multiple times is in QA for our next release.
