I was wondering what things we have seen implemented in game because of the CDI?
I’ve seen some post as of late both in game and on here questioning their effectiveness and relevance. Just wondering if we have some examples of how it has gotten player input into the actual game development and direction. Thanks.
Hi All,
I have been very busy of late both at work and at home and I have enough time to keep up to date with the CDI but not much time for any other forum related communication.
So I have quest for all of you and especially CDI members, and that is why don’t all those who know exactly how the CDI has impacted the game put up your 3 favorite evolutions. Here are mine, and I want to say a big thanks to the CDI group for working with us to get these in the game:
1: Permanent Content
2: Much improved storytelling and pacing in LW from the beginning of this year.
3: Wardrobe Design
This is a very small list of the impacts. Looking forward to reading your insights.

Well Chris was supposed to provide a list (10 items I think?) that came about because of the CDIs, but he’s been busy and had some kind of family issue so he hasn’t gotten to it yet.
Ah, I just came back to the forums to see if that had been posted (was half expecting that to be a blog post on the main site).
Is he still planning on doing this does anyone know? Seems a bit odd if it’s just been quietly dropped by him.
I don’t know. I hope they release some statement about it though. It will either confirm the importance and effectiveness of the CDI or show that is is just lip service. If the latter is true then I doubt we ever see a post on it. If the former then it should calm the community down a bit and at least give people something to hope for during the CDIs.
Hi,
I just want to be clear again the CDI is not an exercise in marketing. I am a game designer and secondly the CDI is not designed to calm a community down. The latest CDI is probably the best one we have done so far in terms of collaboration, maturity and the group working together to solve problems and design impressive features and content. I raise this because it exemplifies what the CDI is all about.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to reinforce this point.
Chris
