Right now Skype is the only program we use for communication. Just because we don't have (and didn't look for) any server for TS/Vent

Good enough :) Bigger the camp, better the feeling of blowing it up.

Pretty sure you are looking for something like this: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64085-dayz-mercenaries-need-protection-help-or-vengeance-come-here/

Yes, of course :)

I'd like to see damage increase for other snipers, like from 8000 to 10000 and make AS50/m107 carryable only on backpack slot.

I'm not even sure if coast spawn is an anti server hop feature or just some bug from 1.7.2.5 :l If it's a feature, NO, don't remove it.

I absolutly agree that they HAVE to keep the forums updated about what they are doing (or at least Rocket does) because right now I've no idea if there's any progress at all or not. About people leaving I still think that they won't associate a MOD with a Standalone release. Many people may quit the game, but some people probably never even heard of DayZ as a mod and will learn about it when it is released / goes beta (on the new engine, standalone). Also, if the dev team does things in a good way, a good portion of people who left by now will return as the game would've changed and be better than it is now. They REALLY have to screw things up to lose people AND not get new players. I think in 2-3 weeks the amount of total players went 150-200k up (from about ~900k to 1.1M), I've no idea about "active" players, but I'd expect them to go down since summer is coming to an end and school is starting. PS: I'm studying business too and I'm aware that the vast majority of players don't even visit the forums.

Yes, a lot of games are released unfinished because of the pressure from the publishers. Rocket's already working for BIS and probably won't have too much pressure for a release, also being able to make his own game is his dream (that's what I understood from some interviews) I've some faith on Rocket, unless he wants to screw up his own dream and release a bad, unfinished game.

The guys who don't visit forums may see the standalone game as another game and don't give a F* about the mod we have right now. Maybe they aren't even aware that there will be a DayZ game. Rocket should not be worried because people is leaving the alpha. He knows that there are bugs that can make you quit the mod and the problem with hackers/cheaters. But he also knows, better than any of us, how this mod will develop in future.

Personally I'd do it for free since there's no other "help request" I accepted you on steam, not sure if we'll need any guns since noone wants our service :(

No, there's no bullet penetration on bodies in this game.

They definetly have to reset the database after fixing duping glitch. Cleaning up before that is kinda pointless.

Bandit towell head is way better than the back full skin. Now it's not as easy to spot a bandit as if he had full skin but still you can tell the difference between bandit/survivor/HERO

Almost all artifacts fixed for me, I only had them once in balota and flushing worked on 1st try.

No, Six Launcher/Updater is still on .2.4 If you want to try the .2.5 you have to do it manually using torrent files from the 1st post of this thread or using DayZ Commander (search google)
