Dear Rocket: A vision statement?

[Roshi (DayZ) 397]

After trawling through the forums, you get the feeling that there are a lot of mixed ideas from the player base regarding what DayZ is and which direction it should take.

I think I have a broad idea of what the dev team want to do with this mod, but I was wondering whether an explicit 'vision statement' posted prominently in the forums might not be a bad idea. I know the main website does have a section on what dayz is, but I had in mind something more along the lines of:

- this is the kind of vibe we want

- these are what we consider core features

- these are the kinds of ideas we would like to play with

- this is what we arent so keen on

- this is definitely what DayZ is NOT and what it will never be.

This might reduce some of the useless argument clogging the forums (even though I enjoy arguing with the people who whinge rather than providing carefully thought out feedback or suggestions). Read the vision statement - if you feel your input is in accord with it then bring it up. If it isn't, find another zombie game...

Seconded.

Might be helpful, not that it changes anything though. Just sit back and enjoy the alpha phase while you can.
