150 players, maybe rocket and the devs are increasing map size. So it may not be bad. (Excuse me if it is confirmed map size is same.)

Yes! FREEDOM! We came out on top and we won. I'm so happy for these guys. :DDDDD

You missed the written link of the SA test Sign-up page

You have my beans, and my respect.

Well, seems good timing to have had my steam account with arma on being hacked. With SA DayZ just around the corner :P

Can't say I'm not starting to look forward to this

I was about to say that introducing the TOH will be great, as the only practice able to get is trial and error in game. But then this xD

I would like the Child zombies being added, integrating realism in the game. I wouldn't risk it though due to the amount the player base may be decreased and media savaging the game.

Yes, I suppose you're right. I kind of forgot about his trip, but I tought hthe time you said was a little to short, but I suppose he wants to support realease.

How long are you thinking of then ?

Well, april is my guess, with a month or so of closed testing and then the time until april of polishing, allowing open tests.

I'm going to make a GUESS that the VERY FIRST alpha will be early march, or april.

Screenies look amazing

As rocket stated, we're 'Participants' not fans ;)

The thing with implementing things like the people being able to find items like rakes and putting guns on the much rarer side of the game is that people may start to dislike. I personally have no problem but things like rakes remind me of another zombie game,I forgot the name, where you craf weapons and things in a zombie world. It meets nothing of dayz's expectations but I think it will draw away from the tacticians of dayz. Instead of ' give me support fir!' It'll be 'meh, just run at the zombie with a rake' that's my opinion anyway.

I'm personally happy that it is forum moderators etc testing the closed beta. Atleast we know they will indefinitely be posting feedback for the dev team to work on. Plus, like I said earlier, having a sustainable working closed test will help to drastically improve the game's future. Maybe it will lead to open tests. I myself can not wait to look at the game but if you really want a key to play the game, try this one 'P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E' that one always works great.

Hopefully after a month or so of closed tests and us seeing a lot more, the game will gain tons of constructive feedback, leading to some open betas:P

Hang on...you want them...whilst in prison. To grab a laptop and map make? Mkay.

Where is the Standalone Release? Personally i don't feel this question was completely answered...

Oh, why thank-you. Is the one I am seeing now the one you guys are all talking about?

Seeming as I have no part of my mind that knows how to use tumblr, I shall wait in hope that somebody highlights parts of importance from Dean's post. (A.K.A all of it)
