The newest edition of Ask Cryptic is up for Champions Online, and this time it delves into community impact and boss battles.
How many of these questions on the forums have made the Champions Online Team either rethink a design concept or pointed out a new concept that had not been thought of as of yet? (Nightshyft)
Arkayne (Lead Designer): A lot, actually. Were made some major shifts in focus based on community feedback from both the regular forums and the alpha testers. While were not doing wholesale re-designs weve definitely changed some of our initial implementation plans to incorporate feedback from the fans.
That's a balance that should probably be shared by all game designers, really. Don't tailor your product to what other people are shouting about. It's your product, after all. But do keep it in mind while you create your product so that it's something your community will enjoy, while still being uniquely yours.
