I'm pretty much convinced that the most part of the items you have mentioned are going to be in the Standalone. The ones that I don't think they're going to be are the item leakage and the ovens, the last one because they need to have a liquid gas-source in order to function and if the providing company does not have people to work on it the service would get shut after a while.

I think that the autochange of skins like the bandit of hero kills most of the inmersion that the devs are looking to put into the game. I would love to see that clothes randomly spawned on Chernarus so you can scavenge them and wear them instead of just get a clothing change because you killed or bandaged some guy.

It's going to be running on a branch of Take On Helicopters engine and ArmA II engine (ArmA 2.5 if you want). The interface is going to be revamped and mechanics as well, but it's going to take a little bit more time than the first one. Respawning it's going to be the same for now, but they're looking into group respawning and similar. You can check the Tumblr Dev Blog where Rocket leaves all the info known until now and some cool pics too: http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/ Cheers.

I would love to see stuff like this, the biggest problem I think (not even thinking about scripting/programming the travel instance) it's the griefers or hackers that will know the predefined travel position when you come across one map to another. The only way to prevent this it's to make the landing/arrival random, so it's so much difficult to another player who is already on the second map to kill the coming ones.

Text is almost as disturbing as this:

Nice, keep up the good work

Indeed, Chernarus it's a map taken from the ArmA II series. Chernarus+ will differ from the original Chernarus because it has new zones, fully enterable buildings and better bug correcting than the second one.

Part of the community Mod is getting into a closed beta to stress both game and servers to prevent major bugs before the public release. The team and developers are correcting those bugs and starting to get into new features like they already were doing.

The only thing that makes me comfortable is the mods saying over and over again "it's only for stressing purpose".

Having a blast after checking that Standalone was doing fine (i was going to add his face but the lucky one in the pic it's pretty much like him haha)

The news said it was an unknown russian male who commit suicide after seeing the new pics of DayZ Standalone:

All the people that ask for a beta key have to think that the purpose of this instance it's only for "scavenge" bugs and stress out servers to see where are the biggest first concerns for the devs to check and have on mind before releasing the game to the public. If one of us plays that beta it's pretty much possible that we will only try to get equipment and kill other people/survive instead of 100% helping the original cause. Dean & company aren't doing this because they're feeling generous with the mods and recognized players, it's because they know that they're pretty much the better capacitated peers that have close to borrow some help from them and deliver a better polished product for the rest of the mortals like me. (sorry about the english)

My thought about that NDA closed beta with allowed streaming is that it's going to last much less than the other known betas just because all these silence that we "suffer" until now it was because they didn't wanted to say or give false hopes, and if all of us are going to see with our own eyes the game itself I don't think that it's going to dissapoint us in any way. tl;dr the game it's almost ready to see the light and be played, so my bet is that the beta is going to last at least two weeks.

I'm just curious about how they will distribute the 1000 keys for the NDA beta, because I don't think that they have that quantity of slots only for "known people". It would be awesome to have some kind of contest with a prize of 100 keys or similar.

I'm pretty sure that most of the participants of this video will be testing the early closed release

GOOD GUY ROCKET

Apparently he changed his mind because in the Lirik Livestream he said that they would release the closed beta as a rough form of NDA.

"We're starting by rewarding the forum moderators..." GUISHO? WHO IS GUISHO? MY NAME IS smasht_AU

"Meanwhile, development continued at an even greater pace with the entire project beginning to gel even more than before. I won't give any specifics here, I think the specifics should come with something that you can actually see/play and that will make much more sense... In fact, we've gone even further than I could ever have hoped... we're not only making the game, we're redoing the engine specifically for the game" http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/115694-a-not-announcement-announcement-for-the-forums/

We can't make deductions because the posibilities of Standalone being released next week are 50/50. I was thinking about this radio silence like a positive thing because it means that the delay is less possible for not saying anything before, but later I thought that maybe it's a Rocket's play to delay the announcement of the real delay (2013) to be less painful for the community; so all we need is to wait at least one more day and then we will know the truth from the people that is working in this game for all of us so... be patient like me, it's difficult but it's the best choice for our mental health and Rocket's too.

I hope that the tease is for making us more anxious to get a POSITIVE announcement and not to delay the game or something... that would be for me a fuck up from his part not saying that the game it's going to be released in one or two months since today.

Here we have another clairvoyant.
