So, this site is utterly atrocious for actually giving information. Fairly key information at that.
So, some questions on Herolab online 1) What is the monthly fee once the free server space time runs out? 2) Can I print a character/save it to pdf/something else for those times when I'm gaming at a site without internet access? |

1. $24.99 per year.
2. Yes; it generates a PDF for you that you can download (and then print if you want). The Hero Lab Online FAQ answers both of these questions, but it may have been unlinked from the website. Last edited by Parody; July 30th, 2019 at 11:44 AM. |

Thank you. If there was any link to that FAQ it was sufficiently well hidden that I failed to find it (certainly was NOT in any if the obvious places)

So you have to continually pay $24 a year to use it. Even without paying for additional "packages"
One of the developers mentioned in another thread about HLOnline - "The key restriction is that a character can’t be further edited if it’s beyond a “starting” character" SO you'll basically be paying $24 to edit your characters? As a regular PFS player that frankly kinda sucks. You're basically paying for editing privileges and NOT new data packs. Last edited by qstor; August 6th, 2019 at 04:46 AM. |

You're paying for the cloud/web access that allows you to access the character on any device anywhere that you need it, without needing to carry around a large laptop (e.g. for HL classic).

the "offline mode" will help a bit once it's released (someday), but it'll still have very limited functionality. maybe in 10 years internet access will be truly ubiquitous and servers will never go down. until then... Last edited by dacoobob; August 6th, 2019 at 03:10 PM. |

I used the same iPad for HLC as I use for HLO. No large laptop required. Only one of those wasn't slowed down or unusable due to "server issues".

To add another anecdote ...
Right after the roll out (which was certainly suffering load-scaling issues), HLO was running slowly on my chromebook. While HLC was ... oh ... wait, that doesn't run on my chromebook, nevermind. Keep up the good work, LW. (Just make it, you know, faster. ) |

How easy is it to switch between devices? I have not tried it but I already get errors about wrong device name and I've only used it on one device.

I just double checked and confirmed that this is the case. If you just close the web browser, you are NOT logged out. You have to explicitly log out of your previous session (which means you have to go back to your previous device and reconnect to the web site). I've submitted a request to the support email to address this issue, either by closing the session when someone closes their web browser, or by offering an option to log out the previous session when attempting a new logon. |
