...the game as it is right now, design wise, is EXACTLY WHY IT IS SO POPULAR!!! As soon as you start to chip and chisel away at the core aspect of this game (The ever present threat of PvP, trust shared/broken. Paranoia rides on the back of this...) then you will be chipping and chiselling away at WHY IT WORKS SO WELL. And it does work extremely well. Look at sales of ARMA now, and look at the player count and it's in ALPHA!!! Please, trust and accept the devs decisions on the way they want to take this game. I feel Rocket knows exactly what he wanted/wants to create with this- and right now he's spot on. Really, apart from server connections/anims/ambient tracks etc and a general streaming of the connection issues in this mod (In other words, the non-core/game play elements), nothing should be added- as by adding something, something WILL be taken away, lost from it... There, my two pence. Also, I'd really appreciate if Rocket could at least maybe give his word to the community that he won't be swayed "by the masses" on this as some of us seem to worry. Already there's a feeling of the casual coming into this and complaining it's not forgiving enough! THAT'S EXACTLY WHY IT IS SO GOOD AND YOU'RE HERE PLAYING IT!!! It's a lot to ask though, a promise like that- so no problem if not... keep up the great work. Take it easy everyone- rant over lol..!!! meshcarver
