supposedly they're controlling the game launch via a global server

because then he would "waste" the entire vacation playing it.

[ Old news ] vg247.com @ May 28, 2013 >DayZ Standalone limited alpha test begins, public alpha on track >DayZ creator Dean “Rocket” Hall has confirmed that a small-scale alpha of DayZ Standalone – the separate version of his popular ARMA II zombie mod – has started, with a public alpha still planned to begin in June. PC-Gamer @ May 29 2013 >DayZ Standalone now in closed alpha testing, paid public alpha still on track for June [ New news ] Rezzed Developer Sessions @ 23 jun 2013 "we've set a date now, a like window about a week, and we're not gonna, we're not gonna say when that is because we-we originally we'd gonna release them and 50.000 keys increments but we decided to do- kind of everything all together" My brain translates this into: "Forget about closed alpha, that's gone, instead we're gonna polish that build a little more and release it to everyone VERY shortly". And that makes perfect sense because he's also spoken about how much he wants this thing out so that they can receive feedback and start improving the game. Imma wait till monday then I'll pick up some other game and install over the space I reserved for DayZ because I'm bloody floppn' tired of waiting.

That makes no sense what so ever- that's like a really bad oh-snap story, ieTwo Zeds are talking to each-others: Zed-1 tells Zed-2: "Within a week I will give you an fresh brain" Zed-2 responds: "Oh sweet!" *A week pases* Zed-2 aproaches Zed-1 and asks him: "duuuude, whatever happened to that fresh brain?" Zed-1 grunts and responds: "Well I never told you WHEN that week would be now did I?" TROLOLOLOL HURR DURR BRAIIINNNNSSS ..... The way I understood his comment was "We have most alpha-things done and we have the goal of releasing this game within a week, however which SPECIFIC day in that week it's rolling out is still somethings we'd like to keep to ourselves."

Valve may end up putting a store-refresh block on me if D-SA doesn't come out soon....

http://nooooooooooooooo.comI seriously can't wait any longer, they pushed 2-3 updates into the steamdump for DayZ two days ago and I was hyped as hell, this thing has been taking forever and waiting an additional 6+ months is totally unrealistic.

"yeah so- I guess the big question the lot of people have is 'when are we actually gonna get this out' and-ah the-the period where we are, we-we've set a date now, a like window about a week, and we're not gonna, we're not gonna say when that is because we-we originally we'd gonna release them and 50.000 keys increments but we decided to do- kind of everything all together and-ah so we really wanted to focus so that the architecture is good so that we can get things back." -- Rocket Dean Hall @ Rezzed 2013-06-23

Have you guys seriously missed this ? Here he's talking about the timespan of an week, BEFORE the end of june, a month which he's been talking about for a long time. They have a working build so stop giving them excuses to stall the game even further. WE WANT DAYZ NOW !
