I'm liking the status reports as they are. They provide information on things as they are, and sometimes give a teaser of things to come. I think they do a good job. My main criticisms regarding communication before was with the timelines you would release for features and major patches. I do get somewhat disheartened when patches wouldn't materialise by the dates you would mention. I just feel it undermines everything else which is communicated. I was very pleased to see a shift in the status reports to just talking about what features are complete, and what aren't yet complete. I think timelines, especially when they aren't consistently kept to, go on to do more harm than good when it comes to communication and community. I have quite a lot of alpha games now, but DayZ is the only one I tend to keep up with then it comes to the development of it. It's the one by far I play the most. It's been a very interesting experience to be part of it, and I have learned a lot about what goes on behind the scenes, so I do thank you for sharing that with us and allowing us to be part of it.
