Well, it’s still early in console development.. Yet It would be nice to offer a hand to the developers in this department, and make some suggestions towards achievements and stats. Now do to this being Xbox community, some individuals take great pride in their gamer score. So why don’t we offer a hand with suggestions.. Here in this forum hows a list of Shoulds and Shouldn’ts sound?

Have had this also happen and I did a little research about it.. Tried a few times to reproduce it but it seemed impossible, eventually (try 30-40) I figured the cause.. So when I had a vehicle start acting funky of that sorts it was because it clipped through the map. When I got the second vehicle to do it, it was in the exact same location with almost the same effects (spun on its axis) except the second time it blew up. A spot where the road touches the grass looked like a small tear in the map was the culprit. Also to note that when I had a friend crawl up on my back while laying prone it pushed me under the map where I swam for a couple hours till I reached the coastline, and popped back through. If your vehicle is still there and it was just a tire, door, or hatch that clipped you can remove that part and drop it to the ground get in and it should release the vehicle then just put it back on. You can tell which it is by the way it was acting... all else fails remove all.. GL

You know this is an xbox forum correct? The reason forums like this are made is to help the Developers and the Community communicate issues, concerns, and help to others. Personally it makes no difference which platform each individual prefers, yet I wouldn't tell someone to play a different one. I have done my hours on PC and am working on the hours for Console.. Either way would be nice to see Dedicated servers introduced to console at some point.

Oh K.. I have a very simple question that has bothered me for a long time now. Anyways here's my question "Are they Infected or Zombies?" I know what a stupid yet simple question.. Now for the part that bothers me.... awhile back I had a conversation with a couple people and I said "Zombie" and they kinda grumped at me, and through out a back story at me saying their not Zombies they are "Infected". ok that's fine Im wrong apologies not a big deal. Yet, every freaking time I kill an Infected their inventory says Zombie. So can I get a little clarity on what Im supposed to call the AI's in the environment. (had to include the back story so everyone didn't think I was nuts) Hoping for answers..

And if Dedicated/Private severs never reach consoles?

I knew the back story, that's what caused this post. Yet this explanation says a lot. ATM I am playing .63 due to that's what version is on console right now.

So is there an updated control scheme coming or do we have to change our key binds through Microsoft? Just asking out of curiosity, people may get upset if they get used to the controls and they just randomly get changed without warning..

I know I would appreciate locked characters.. personally it would help me, having a character locked to a server would prevent so much running.(base to base on different servers) have a lot of friends that ask for assistance at theirs bases.(and they all play on different severs) I personally stick to the high pop servers which does have a lot of issues of people hopping servers to get into my camp even when I leave the gate unlocked. and to add to the combat side of things... not all fights are less then a minute and a half. try to push fast to get there before they log. yet they are always gone and in another location not far from the fight. (which usually they don't make it out a second time.) not to mention the pain of shoot someone as they run away from you to see them either disappear or stop and stand there in mid run (dash boarders)…. really do enjoy this game but there is some easy fixes that would change the game for the better. LOCK THE CHACACTERS.... PLEASE. [Devs, you could delete characters that sit idle in a server for a certain time frame]

it could be done with porting.. (with ease) yet you wont have dayz anymore. the more ingame chatter via face to face or radio, allows for a more immersive experience. which is the direction the devs have been pushing the game sense the beginning. the game is hard and unforgiving without a friend or friends which is why we turn to party chat. now if we were to say screw it and try the game without the party and agree to meet with friends at a agreed location pregame it would allow for more interesting interactions between yourself/friends and other players. it is a difficult thing to not use a party especially when it seems like everyone around you is in party.

Noticed on the America’s list there are servers that were never returned after the last removal of servers.(just pointing out the double listing)

Wow.. more things postponed or removed then there are on the list of implemented items.

So, does this mean no more Wednesday server shut downs? A new machine exclusive to Xbox servers is a really large step.. Good stuff keep it up

Well that sounds like a bugged/glitched mag... One of the previous updates were supposed to fix issues like that. What I did personally is I dropped all the mags in my inventory as I found new ones to replace the bugged mags after that update came out.

2) scopes work fine when not wearing a vest or bag... figured I would toss that out there..

Are you removing the existing mag before trying to combine new mag with firearm?

Sure hope server hopping isn’t a thing when base building becomes a thing...

Writing this post without reading all of the other post... There are a lot of items in this article that I can agree with and disagree with. Yet I am going to add to the controller craziness.. And I want to thank the Devs on the controller Scheme feels good to have inventiveness. Here are a couple of my thoughts. Quick slots: Are currently sharing the select fire slot, and is kind of a finger displacer. [Could easily change the quick slots to LB (which is an open key when not in stance)]. Hands: Are the greatest weapon slot/item slot in the whole setup. Yet they do need a little work.. Would be nice to per say add a couple key strokes to them. (Hold B to drop item in hand) (hold A to send to inventory) Pretty much any two keys to keep you out of your inventory longer. Going to elaborate, have seen hundreds of people running and stop and stand there for a second or two just to find out they we’re putting or pulling something to or fro their inventory/hands. Well that’s it for me hope you have a good read. Thank you

May I ask, why were all American servers chosen for this Internal test? And are these server going to be re-released to the Xbox community for stress test purposes or is console remaining 1 version at a time..?

Your information is a little off.. The Smersh PACK can be found at heli sites, and is a carryable pack. Yet it can be attached to a hi-cap vest to be carried on your back. Currently I have not been able to attach it to a bag nor a ballistic vest (must not be implemented yet).

Well more like a terrain suggestion over a vehicle suggestion.. Realistic mud This would be great, cars that are unable to drive everywhere . Trucks could go more so into deeper depths of the wilderness. And bicycles that would have to stay on paths or roads. Now this is just a suggestion.. Feel free to let me know what everyone thinks. Oh and DEV's keep at your doing great.
