    Well, best of luck getting in, from what I hear it will be a bit. On the up side, console players haven't had to slog through the crappy builds. Remember, when you do get in, there are NO friendlies in Cherno.

    Imma smart boi. Cities are always a nono. I'll just stick to the woods and giggle at the ghosties.

    Or, you could get a PC, play it now with better graphics, just sayin..........................

    I could! I probably should've down ages ago! I just never really felt the need nor had much of the reason. I could've spent some decent money on one.... but then I got a one x.

    Sea of Thieves and Ark are completely different. For one, if someone is talking in game chat there is a visual indicator that tells you that so you know they are trying to communicate with you. That way you can switch to game chat. DayZ is a much less forgiving game. Those games also show gamertags of players so it is easier to communicate. Most people aren't going to play in game chat if they are with friends. Most people you talk to will be gearless fresh spawns on the coast and once you make a friend most of them will suggest going to party chat to avoid giving away their position in case someone is in game chat. I'm not being over-dramatic, I'm just being a realist. The ultimate DayZ experience is going to have to on private/community servers that attract like minded people.

     

    All we can do is wait and see. Either way, one of us is gonna be proved wrong.

    If most of us get in through the sign-up, and maybe some of people already playing can come, we could all meet up at Devil's Castle! We can stick together and maybe go on a looting spree... until well, someone fires a round and everything goes into chaos.

    All thanks go to @AlexRUiLs for streaming the controllers. I was just doing my best to mod play times, and run people through the basics, as well make sure they knew where to find the forums and future release information.

    Thanks heaps for checking out the stream though, it all helps DAYZ andI hope to see you soon in Chernarus :)

    Shoe stealers.

    That is the point I am trying to make. The Xbox limitations are going to take away from the full experience of what DayZ is. Sure someone could switch to party chat, but the few seconds it takes to do that will likely get the person killed. Also the person you are trying to talk to won't know you are talking to them unless they are in game chat too. This is going to result in people not using game chat. On PC this isn't an issue because players can hear people talk in discord and in game chat at the same time and can respond accordingly via push to talk. So unfortunately there hero or bandit mentality is going to be lost. It is going to just be another battle royal game. No one will try to create unique interactions. Robbing players, taking them hostage, trying to save someone, or just being a weirdo. Most of the popular DayZ video revolve around that type of interaction which is what drew many people to dayz. That is simply going to be lost. The only thing that will salvage it on Xbox is if they allow community servers.

    This "issue" isn't the developers fault. It is just the xbox's limitations that are going to hinder dayz.

    You're being way too negative and over-dramatic. Just because there is party chat, doesn't mean people are going to stick with it. Games like Sea of Thieves and Ark Survival have more people in game chat, rather than party chat. I know I'm gonna stick with game chat, and I have plenty of other friends who are gonna do the same.

    I've been around since the dawn of Standalone, the problem isn't consoles its people.

    DAYZ was never "nothing but greatness" from the get go, what made it great was the commited and intelligent community presence. But the fact is there are as many trash KOS severs on PC as there is or ever will be anywhere, the only benefit to PC that all the trolls, and people not there for the hardcore survival have simply gotten bored and gone off with hype train  onto other games.

    The only people left on DAYZ now are real fans of the game, or fans of the streamers that promote it, whome most of the time play in a very friendly, rp, or social way.

    So don't pretend PC severs are somehow all amazing, because I have standalone *cough*TrumpsWall*cough*.

    All PC has is a more devoted, and experienced player base who do a damn good job managing their severs.

    Didn't say things will be super amazing. Just chill. I understand that most servers will be constant KoS, but to me, it's gonna be fun tracking those kind of people down and ruining their day before they can do it to somebody else. 

    My expectations aren't massive. I know I'm gonna die. A lot. I know bugs will ruin shit for me, maybe fuck up my day, but still DayZ is gonna be something new. I want something new in this wave of the exact same thing.

    Sadly that interaction you are looking for isn't going to exist on Xbox. Unless they allow private servers where someone makes it  a rule to be in game chat at all times.

    I'm more optimistic! I think the people who don't use mic will eventually get phased out, or ya' know, keep the game alive. Consider no mic's bandits. People will talk though, I know it.

    I'm getting bored with battle royals. I'm getting bored with being forced to kill and move, bored with the competitiveness and everything being in rounds. I'm craving the feeling of winning a fire fight and just being able to chill with a can of beans, not worrying about some dumb circle forcing me into something that I ain't ready for. I want the interaction of running into someone who isn't forced by the game to kill me and maybe buddy up. It's weird to say but the idea of DayZ is kinda chill to me, in the way of not really being forced to do anything other than keep your needs up and that seems relaxing to me. Sure zombies are a thing, and hostile players, but with what I've seen, people hardly run into each other. DayZ will probably be my first game where I can just sit next to a campfire and just, ya' know, look at the scenery and enjoy the idea that someone could either kill me, or sit with me. 

    Anyway, to make this into a proper thread; what are ya'll most excited for? Experience or game-play wise.

    in future, try and use your xbox dvr to record the bug happening then use http://xboxdvr.com once its uploaded to xbox live to get the link the simply copy and paste it into your forum post.
    visually seeing the bug happen as opposed to read what happened will make it easier for the dev team to replicate it and therefore solve the issue faster.

    Hm. Good point. If I get in, I'd probably have to sacrifice all my totally badass clips to make space for bug clips. Eh, it'll be worth it.

    Considering battle royal, after battle royal has been released on Xbone, looking at Vigor, the damned radioactive storm, and lack of mic, console peeps are stuck with KoS lodged in their minds because those games force PvP. DayZ doesn't, but it's gonna take some time for console peeps to learn that.

    They said they will be sending out some sign up thing sometime in the near future where they'll select some more testers. Probably before Gamescon. Just have patience, I've been waiting for years, I imagine we can wait a little longer.

    Last night I could only sleep 3 hours, nerves, I can not anymore, I want dayz

    It'll come! Hopefully nothing will be delayed and comes out as planned. And maybe the chance to play a little earlier will come, just depends on how they're gonna pick.

    Well its currently playable for a select few xbox insiders and closed preview is following shortly after.

    I hope they open more invitations then. I literally have no life and can spend enough time to fuck around and find problems.

    So uh, after I saw that DayZ popped up on the xbone store today I thought as well make an account here. I've been lurking the Dayz scene for awhile, watching Frankie, Mr. Moon, and the like, playing it but never really doing it myself due to my tragic console peasant disease. I've always loved the uncertainty about the game and while there's similar games on the xbone now, they're all battle royals. Doesn't give the total experience I want. I'm excited to give the experience a go and hoping the chance comes sooner rather than later. I especially can't wait for the flawless controller fights, and missing 99% of the time.
