I wouldn't count on it coming out of Alpha and Beta very quickly, which is probably a good thing.

[edit] Rocket elaborates on reddit:

Kind of an aggregate of everything Rocket has said over the past day or so:
http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1f4x4o/rockets_twitter_updates/
Streaming internet radio in through the radio is pretty cool.
Let's just make one thread to discuss what he post on twitter instead of spamming the subreddit with links to his twitter account shall we?
So far he has tweeted:
Just played the latest build. What can I say? Crafting is AMAZING! Def my fav new thing
Just reviewed the entirely new player animations on the entirely new player skeleton. Verdict: AMAZING
So many new items. IV Starter kits, Bags of Saline, mess tins, rice, radios...
Dammit. Zombies now moving so fast they can't negotiate steep terrain... they just launch themselves off and die! Hilarious though #lemmingZ
Zombie Attack animation while running? YES PLEASE!
In response to this Q: "When you say this http://i.imgur.com/wgjZ46d.png another group or the streamers group?", A: "I mean everyone, and so streamers will be testing it"
Updates from reddit:
Q:"When will alpha be released?" A: "When I'm comfortable that people will be getting something for their money. Tomorrow I'll confirm details of the server/client success or failure and that will give us the timeframe we need to be more concrete about future milestones. It marks the end of our last major exploratory work."
Q: "Is cooking part of crafting?" A: "Cooking yes. Food can be prepared which is safer and more nutritious."
Q: "Is pooping going to be in SA?" A: "It's not a priority but it's an open question. We want to try it and if it's not good we'll remove it"
Q: "When we will get a devblog/update?" A: "I need to focus on working. Twitter updates I can do while I am compiling, but devblogs and images and videos take more time. We don't have long till E3 and we ALL want to do the alpha ASAP. So I'd dead focused on these."
Q: "How well is the server-client architecture is performing since you've been back?" A: "I haven't said anything yet, because I haven't talked to our lead programmer as he was away today. Tomorrow he is back and I'll report then. But essentially, I've been told is "effectively complete". If this is the case, then it needs testing and much of my work needs to be modified to fit with it. But that would be very good news."
Bandages (military), dressings (civilian), and the IV kits are broken down into several parts which you craft together. The starter kit + what you are inserting. E.g. painkiller drugs, saline, transfusion, etc...
Q: "Whats the deal with radios?" A:"You use them to talk to each other over distances. Or you can tune into radio stations from the Internet directly in game"
Q: "Will zeds be overpowered" A: "They will be dangerous in large numbers. They are much more likely to hit you in standalone but the effect is less marked. I.e. they are like a person running after you and hitting you."
Also, fleshlight confirmed!
....Discuss!

Take your time, Rocket. DayZ deserves perfection. And I'll buy it full price.
also, Why the fuck do I need a FLESHLIGHT?

Why not just hook up with a nice female survivor, provided she's not trying to kill you and take your shi--
Nevermind, I'll take the fleshlight.

1) its gonna be a closed alpha first. then open alpha.
2) its gonn be the minecraft model.
It sounds like they have already been in closed alpha for a while.

i think before this it was just an inhouse alpha. not many people besides devs and a couple mods. now that they're including streamers and youtubers, they can stress test it and find new bugs. just an opinion though.
The size or who is included is kind of irrelevant.
A closed alpha is a closed alpha.

meh. i am just happy its starting to take shape.
Oooooooh crafting system. Reminds me of the one in Dead Rising 2. Was load of fun!
EDIT: Argh nvm mod only?
Stand Alone is set to have a crafting system as well.

The only functionally relevant part of an official thread title is the name of the game and |OT| tags, for searching, everything else is flavor. The OG GAF crew lived some of the best DayZ moments the game ever spit out, naming the OT after any one of those moments is a no brainer.
And at least 130k people understand one of those:

I really like that one.
Its pretty active still, but you might as well wait for the stand alone now if you are still interested.
I like this one as well
This. Krappadizzle's videos still get me every time, specifically the above mentioned one here and this one as well.
Can't wait to get on with GAF, now that I'm a member.
DayZ SA |OT| - There's only friendlies at the NW airfield
DayZ SA |OT| - I only collect Mountain Dew, not drink it
Still prefer MickeyKnox's though.
=(
Been trying to keep up with all the updates. I really do wish Rocket would stream the test. Since id like to see how the game looks so far. Rocket said they got a new overhead map for ground textures and such.
Also Iv been playing a lot of "new" maps for dayz lately. It seems to be a growing trend to limit the military loot spawns. This is good for keep the amount of military guns down but also leads to camping.
And I sure as hell hope SA fixes ATVs. This shit is just insane.
