When is more content being added?

[Euler 1]

Omg I've been playinf DayZ for 1 week now and it's awesome! I freaking love the game but I just watched an Arma 2: DayZ video and there seems to be so much more content? Obviously I know the game is an Alpha but I was just wondering what sorts of things we can expect to see in the game in the future... I'd like to see a ton of different types of weapons. 5 different assault rifles, 5 different smgs, 5 different sniper rifles, lots of different camos of clothing, different military clothing ect ect you guys all know what I'm talking about.

 

The question behind this thread basically is when is this stuff being added? Is their an official "incoming" content page like trello or something?

That covers some of it, they will be announcing more later this month.

The Announcement section is good to check. There are also some Twitter accounts like Rocket2Guns and DayzDev, try the official DayZ SA website, there should be links there. There is also a DayZ dev Tumblr, but that doesn't get updated quite as often.

Also, slow down. The next update, which should be out on friday or after will have a double barrel shotgun that can be cut down with a hacksaw. We have also seen concept art for a Kalashnikov, a crossbow, a "hunting rifle", a SKS, a Ruger 10/22. So far there hasn't been any mention that I've seen of modern sniper rifles, any more AR's other than the M4 and AK, or any SMGs whatsoever. It might happen. At the moment there are technical issues to fix, and the sort of features you're looking for will be added much later. Also, the game is going for a survival tone, so don't expect a massive amount of hardcore military weapons. They are also reducing the spawn-rates of the M4 and the .357 Magnum in the upcoming patch, so they're going to get more rare before (and if) they become plentiful.
