Hello!
My group played our first game since the 4.8 update last night. We noticed some peculiarities with the new dice behavior - not sure if they are intentional or not, but it would be nice to see if they could be changed:
1. While your own dice stay within the confines of your screen, bouncing off the "walls," other players' dice very often roll off the edges of the screen, frequently landing there unseen. This appears to be new behavior with the new dice implementation. For my group, being able to see everyone's rolls, the fun anxiety of watching a 20 turn to a 2 at the last second (or vice versa), was great in the old implementation. Now we just wait for the results to show up in the chat window because the dice have left the screen. Is there any way to return to having all dice stay inside the screen?
2. The visual display of other players' dice rolling also appears tethered to where my chat box is inside the app, regardless of where they roll it on their screen. When I had my chat box in the lower right hand corner, all rolls from other players were confined to the right half of the screen - I don't know that any of them ever rolled to the left of the chat box. When I moved the chat box to the left side, player dice appeared all over the screen again. As the GM, I prefer my chat box in the lower right so I can make my Combat Tracker (we're running PF2e) the full height of the screen on the left, but the dice rolling only on the right (and, per the above, mostly off the screen) was weird.
Again, not catastrophic changes, but it sure would be nice to see all the dice again when they roll. Thank you!
