I'm afraid you missunderstood his words. Dean said and I quote: "...we've set a date now, like a window of about a week, and we're not going to say what window that is...". If you want to listen again it starts at around 25 minutes and 45 seconds in the rezzed dayz video.

Dean hasn't talked about character creation complexity, but it will probably be pretty basic. There will be however alot of visual customization to your character with in-game clothing items.

Of course! I can't wait to play along with true members of this community and aid in the development of this unparalleled game.

This, I couldn't agree more. Nowadays it seems like better graphics is what game development/progress is to most gamers and that's just flat out wrong, especially in a game like this. In fact i'd say that of all the aspects that make DayZ the unique gaming experience it is, aesthetics are the least important ones. Any real fan of DayZ knows this. I admire Rocket and the rest of the team for their decision of going to E3 with this development build of the game. It shows they are not your common game developers, looking for a quick cashout. They knew that showing that build would break the hype for alot of people resulting in less profit for them at first but they did it anyway because they don't want to mislead people who thought it was going to be perfect at launch. It is shown by them as it really is, like it or not. They want to start the alpha with the real fans of the game, that understand and enjoy the core experience of DayZ, and slowly work their way into charming other gamers that need more content/polish to be able to enjoy it. With that said everyone that expects the launch build to be very different from what they showed at E3 should wait until it reaches a later development stage, like Rocket himself suggested you do, because right now they are just doing polish work to the current features and maybe adding minor stuff, no major changes are being made to the game for launch build.
