Will CDI´s continue after Feature Patch?

As there are no CDI´s active atm, I was wondering, if we will see new ones in the future?

I guess Anet is busy right now, checking all the feedback towards the feature patch, so they are still implementing changes proposed in former CDI´s.

Personally, i followed only the horizontal progression and WvW CDI, without partaking actively. But i think it was a good iniciative and would like to see them continue.

I am not sure what they should focus on next, maybe its a good idea to make a new request for topics again, after the feature patch went live. It would also be nice to get a little summary from Anet, which mayor changes of the feature patch originated from the several CDI´s.

Personally i would welcome a CDI towards the economy or crafting because those are areas that i am active in.

From the list of features planned to be released in 2013, Cooking and Jeweler 500, new Legendaries and precursor Crafting/Scavenger Hunt were scratched and it doesnt look like they will be in this feature patch either.

The Scavenger Hunt was already commented on by Mark Katzbach. It will not be in the feature patch because progression and reward systems have changed too much, since they started working on it. So it is delayed until further notice:

My guess would be that the same goes for Jeweler and Cooking 500, even though i am not sure, if they ever started working on it. Those 2 professions are harder to implement as they are not that easily streamlined as with ascended weapons and armor.

So why not involve the players with a CDI to help implementing a Scavenger Hunt for Pre Cursors and the 2 missing lvl 500 professions?

What do you think, should CDI´s continue?
Did you find any suggestions you made or supported during past CDI´s mentioned to be implemented with the next feature patch?

Hi,

There will indeed be more CDI’s. We were thinking of slipping the process evolution phase between topics this time as the new format worked out quite well.

The topic we are thinking about discussing is the Trading Post.

Note: Moving forward we will do 2 CDI topics concurrently at maximum.

I would also like to do a Guild CDI soon.
