DayZ devs taking time, beta not planned until close of 2014
"The level of support and confidence we have received from the DayZ community makes us even more dedicated to the game than we were in the past 16 months of DayZ standalone development," stated the post. "In the short term, we're going to focus on the most critical problems you're experiencing [at the moment] and at the same time we're going to work on the road to the DayZ Beta."
Over the year, the team plans to continue working on "server performance, stability and security," along with hunting, gathering and "more complex interactions with the environment and crafting options."
The launch strategy publisher Bohemia Interactive and DayZ creator Dean Hall are using for the game isn't that much of a surprise. Hall told us last year at Gamescom the best thing that could happen is if DayZ, which started its undead life as a runaway mod success, fell off the radar for a while. Hall said at the time, "I think if DayZ has a soft launch it's the best thing that can happen to it." We don't know if having nearly a million sales is a "soft launch," but the team clearly isn't in a rush.

8 Million dollars for the initial early access release should help them get more hands on deck and speed up the process you would think...

A-10 I love the fact that theyre taking their time, but if anyone is complaining about it, think about it. Youre getting the taste of the game the entire process.
but you gotta think too, theyve made like $20 million+ in a month of the release, and theyve alredy had over a yer in the making

Scizor I've played the game recently and I was very happy about the lack of bugs in the Alpha. It's more Alpha because of the lack of content, not that the existing features are broken. So that's a plus. Beta should be even better!
there a few, but not major ones. I'm excited to see the full release :D
