Community Ideas is a subpage on Pilgrim Outpost dedicated to our fans. Since the launch of Dying Light 2 Stay Human, we’ve been flooded by the community with several fan-requested features and other ideas that they would like to see added to the game. We want our players at the forefront of everything it is that we do here at Techland. This is why we are giving them the ability to make those wishes a reality by allowing the best and most suitable ideas to find their way into the game.

Visit the Community Ideas page on pilgrimoutpost.com/goodies/community-ideas and press “Submit an idea”. Log in or sign up to Pilgrim Outpost to submit your request and fill out the form. Remember to list only one idea per entry.

After you submit your idea, check back to the website regularly to see if it made it to “Voting”. There we store our newest entries so that they can be voted on by the community. Some submissions will not get published if they don’t meet the moderation criteria. If they do meet all the requirements, you should expect them to be listed.

Create a Pilgrim Outpost account and upvote however many submissions you like. You can also downvote ideas if you believe they don’t fit well with the overall Dying Light 2 Stay Human vision, though they won’t alter the “Most Popular” ranking. The top ten suggestions will then routinely move to “In Review”.

Not every idea is going to be added to the game. Only the ones that successfully make it through the whole process will be implemented. This process consists of four stages: community vote, developer review, approval and development.

Encourage people to vote on your idea so that it cracks the top most popular list by using the direct link to your idea and sharing it around.

Not all ideas are equal. In game development, things are always in flux, not to mention some concepts are far more ambitious than others. For that reason, we can’t specify set dates, but once an idea has made it to “In Development”, you can be sure we are doing everything in our power to implement it.

Everything depends on the idea. First, it has to place in the top 10 of the most popular list in “Voting”. It will then be reviewed by our developers to assess its scope or if it fits within the overall direction of Dying Light. We will let you know which ideas will make the cut by systematically updating the “Approved” and “In Development” sections.

The entire process consists of the following stages and prerequisites:

• Moderation - After an idea has been submitted, it must undergo a moderation process that could flag an entry for not meeting our Terms & Conditions or other requirements.
• Voting - If a submission meets the criteria, it will be officially listed on our site in its first main stage, where the community can upvote their favorite ideas.
• In Review - Our devs will regularly review the ten highest-rated ideas in “Voting” and transfer them to the second stage called “In Review”. There is no specified time frame to pinpoint how long the review process will take. Developers will assess the feasibility of those ideas and examine whether they are consistent with the overall vision of Dying Light.
• Approved/Rejected - Once the review process is complete, the entries will move on to the third stage, which can be broken up into two different scenarios: “Approved” — receiving an official green light from our devs — or “Rejected” — discarded suggestions deemed by the devs as unrealizable. Rejected ideas will have an attached Developer Feedback explaining why they won’t advance to the next stage.
• “In Development” - This means your idea is being worked on. And although we will not be able to provide a specific date for when it will be implemented into the game, we do assure you we are doing everything in our power to make it happen.
• “Implemented” - Your idea was added to the game.

You will be able to track the status of your ideas(s) through your email that was linked to your Pilgrim Outpost account. We will be sending notifications to anyone who submits an idea.

Our developers — designers, programmers, franchise directors and others!

As a video game studio, we understand what goes into the creative process and that two or more people will often come up with the same or similar ideas. This does not necessarily mean that someone has copied a concept. Remember that submitting ideas is only one part of getting your idea pushed through. Sharing it around with other people allows it to gain more traction. It’s also good practice to check out “Voting” and “Rejected” sections to get a good grasp on what types get approved and which ones don’t.

Upvotes are as important as the idea itself. Since we’ve received thousands of suggestions, we will prioritize the ideas that get the most upvotes to filter the demands better and wants of our community.

Community Ideas serve as a form of community interaction, not an active component of game development. It is merely an alternative to asking you what features you’d like to see through our social media, a system that gauges interest and enthusiasm around feedback or potential features.

Submissions not listed in “Voting” were rejected or did not meet the moderation criteria.

Each submission will go through moderation to see if it meets the necessary criteria before it can be cataloged on the page. Entries cannot contain anything that is unlawful, tortious, fraudulent, deceptive, obscene, sexually explicit, defamatory, violent, threatening, harassing, abusive, falsely representative, or invasive of someone else’s privacy. Your Idea must not include any content that infringes any third party intellectual property rights or otherwise violates third-party rights.

Additionally, only one idea can be listed per submission. All entry positions (i.e., title, subtitle, description, etc.) must be filled out properly. The contents of a given Idea cannot be vague, unclear, irreverent (e.g., “make the game run on Ouya”, or “make the game free”), or include links. Finally, all entries must be filled out in English. Any other language used will be immediately flagged.

Community Ideas is currently in beta, which doesn’t support any other language. We plan to expand our language support, so expect to see changes in the future.

You cannot edit your idea. Once an idea has been submitted it cannot be changed.
