    A+ game!

    Lol most people moan about lack of content because 0.62 had ten times more content then the new engine took 6mnths to come and we have bugs and stability issue on console that had existed for over half a year on PC. People are generally just p*ssed off as they know by now that you could give the game a year of stability fixes and next to nothing would change. The games going full release before Xmas on PC in the state it's in now! That tells you all you need to know right there. I love the idea of the game but it's nothing like 0.62 or the Dayz mod so it's pretty fair that people would be asking for more. If there gonna go full release with this laggy, buggy mess they may aswell put some content back in if were gonna be zorping about without touching controller or being beat to death by invisible zombies who take no damage, or putting a full clip into someone's head with no hit reg, if rather be playing that god awful experience with some sick clothes and weapons rather than the basic selection we've got now.

    DayZ Database Gone?

    Lots of the OG PC DayZ supporters and people running sites with dayz info etc are jumpin ship after the terrible latest status report. Which for obvious reasons doesn't get posted seperately here on the xbox section because they want as little people as possible knowing there dumping On there community. Go read it and the reactions, sad and gold at the same time

    DayZ and its future

    Lmao. Guy makes mod called DayZ, people play mod to death, love it & it's features. guy decides to make SA version of Mod as people seem to really really like those features, it takes a long time. It's takes even longer. It takes so long apparently most of those features and mechanics aren't actually features anymore.....there flavours now like strawberry and vanilla. Even the content, mechanics & features from previous iterations of SA become flavours also. Eventually even the players that started as features become flavours, heck they even just dissapear.

    Achievements and stats

    Nice thread, but you should read the latest status report . Full release is happening before Xmas and all it's gonna have oter than what it's got is maybe basic base building and two ground vehicles & that's only confirmed for PC lol. No guns, items or mechanics that have been tested over last five years. So you may be waitif about 3-5 years for achievements guys as vaulting, craftable bows, fishing, helicopter, the 20+ weapon , weapon attachments, broken bones, bikes, ghillie suit, item colouration etc etc etc all need merging back in bit by bit and all the bugs that'll arise from that will need fixing one by one . You get my point

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    I'll take you at your word & wish you and the team the best of luck. Just remember that you don't have to manage community expectation, they only expect what you tell them they'll get. and remember that base building is great but with the pervasive ghosting issue it'll only cause mass aggravation being implemented until there's fix or work around to stop players abusing it, but it's your teams baby though and you can raise it anyway you see fit. I personally would have focused on updating & adding in all legacy features from 0.62 & the original mod and getting that stable before anything else as a base model for 1.0 . ive played for only two months barely & already feel like I've had my fill, without much weapon choice, ghillies, spraypaints more craftables and what feels like half a health system the game feels empty and tbh spending a fifty hours building a base that someone's gonna ghost into and fighting over vehicles isn't going to make the game come alive. good luck with your endeavours and I guess I'll check back In a year from now, probably around when the new consoles arrive. thankfully the PC guys get modding to pass the time unfortunately us console chaps might get a hold breathe function if were polite.

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    @RaptorM60. Also my suggestion to you as a brand manager would be to get a detailed compete list of items, weapons and mechanics that will definately be in game on launch, I know the status report touched on these aspects but certainly a detailed extensive list of items & weapons that will be included would go a long way to restoring some faith/positivity amongst consumers , I'm sure you had more than a notion that this status report would not be taken well by consumers it just puzzles me why this list wasn't included to at least alleviate some negative response. I do not envy your job role right now & I certainly bear you no Ill will & wish the team the best of luck, I still have faith that the game will be worth playing in the future , it's just a shame that'll be even further away than expected.

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    Firstly thankyou for the response, I can imagine your all very agitated at the moment & it's generally not in my nature to be combative. I respect anyone who works hard and has passion for there work, but I do speak plainly My only point is that once you condense your response down removing business double speak it reads as this. we promised too much or hyped too much for too long and couldn't deliver on said promises/hype and therefore lost consumer trust. Subsequently a snowballing effect on development arose as new mechanics, features and items were being created faster than bugs could be fixed or stability raised which has interfered with merging new content. I understand all this and respect games development timelines are fluid, no one can fully ascertain how one added feature will effect core performance and other mechanics etc, I am a very patient consumer and can forgive almost any wait but that wait or setbacks of any kind need to be fully explained at the time not hidden away & not compounded with more hype and more promises. Simply stating that you can't deliver on a previously stated brand standard, already set by you the DayZ team for 1.0, not by the communities expectations but literally stated by the development team. What is puzzling me is how would you then make the logic leap to sticking to the original 1.0 release date instead of postponing, doing the bug/stability fixes necessary and adding in content previously stated as being in 1.0 before release, as your statement above doesn't explain that reasoning. my assumption is that it's to keep to a finance schedule and to capitalise on seasonal sales after being put Into full release marketplaces cross platform, do not get me wrong I do not mind why it's being done even if it's just because it needs to be done financially but some transparency would be nice

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    You see your unprofessional reply to a paying consumers post with an obvious sarcastic response as if this is a school yard spat tells me all I need to know, especially after the vast majority of all steam reviews are negative , the vast majority of all forum posts on latest status report are negative. Would you like to explain in detail why the game is being released with the vast majority or features that were previously stated as being in the game in 1.0 won't be in the game, rather than further postponing? if You went to a restaurant and ordered a 12oz steak and was delivered beans on toast but was still charged for a 12oz ........oh and it took the waiter 4 years to deliver. would you feel that you were treated fairly, honestly and ethically?

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    Dude I'm a console player and even I get why the diehard long term fans who have been on the forum forever would lose there minds over this blatant cash grab, push it to 1.0 so that it can go on the playstation network asap as they pretty much don't allow early access. So shove a finished sticker on it and take in that money lol. you don't promise or even insinuate key features, items and mechanics for nearly five years and then with a few months to go suddenly announce that 80% of previous builds and tested mechanics, items, etc won't be in the full 1.0 release. this isn't a little fan passion project between friends, we are consumers who bought a product expecting it to perform as advertised and it isn't going to deliver. Not only will this make a lot of long term players leave, it'll draw new players in who will play for a short period and leave due to lack of content. Jesus the games been out for only two months on xbox and there's literally only one full server at peak times, that's what happens when people realise they've been ripped off.

    Xbox Update 24/10/2018

    Doesn't matter anyway boys, haven't you heard the games gonna be full release by Xmas lol, oh but it'll only have basic base building (enjoy people server hopping into you base tho), and two ground vehicles added. No new guns or previously tested guns put back in, no fishing, no vaulting or climbing, no helicopter, no decaying bodies, no zombie hordes, no broken limbs or concussive damage, no throwable items including any form of grenade, no craftable bow or recurve bow etc etc etc etc. Basically everything the devs have shown off, tested or said would be in the game at 1.0 full release. But don't worry they gotta get that PS4 money's so it's definitely finished (minus 80% of what PC players have been waiting on for 5yrs), I doubt it'll even be more stable and rid of desync by next march never mind Xmas lmao. i wouldn't waste your time arguing over how long something has to be in game preview before Microsoft take over as nowadays games companies can promise you the all stars in the sky and then give you a small rock and say well it's close enough be thankful.

    Night time

    Hey, what geo location are you in & which servers do you typically play in? The new countdown timer won't let you reconnect until three minutes have passed so it should be impossible to be locked in database through server hopping now. I'd advise filing a bug report via the link on the main forum page, I personally haven't had any issues so far with this patch but I'm sure your not alone with the issues you're having, better full that form out and hope the devs fix ASAP, I'd put your gamertag in the bug report too Incase you get a prolonged database lock so they can release it server side for you

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed it'll be the same across all platforms and all future content/updates will be free on console. Even if this is the case and it will be free it doesn't detract from the fact that 1.0 is most definately only gonna be 1.0 by name not by content.
  14. TheYetiBum

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    Yep couldn't agree more, the obvious assumption from fans was that all removed mechanics, tested mechanics & items along development would be merged back in before 1.0 Why would anyone assume anything else, who knew all along PC players were testing DLC content for console lol. because that where I see this going, additional cost for 'flavour mechanic & content' to come after 1.0 release as DLC on console. As far as I'm concerned 1.0 as described in the status report is less than a quarter of what was previously alluded too. Im yet to here free additional post release content anywhere for console.

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    Yep the main issue with product development, any product that is. Is that you get tunnel visioned, especially in the game industry, you forget that what may be good news within the team is actually terrible news to the community, that's acceptable directly within the development team as there pulling long hours and spending numerous hours on mechanics, items etc under the direction of a leader who then may decide that those things aren't needed or necessary. It's a frustrating, tiring and demanding job. i am not here to take a steamin dump on devs or members of art teams, animators etc. but whoever the project leads is, the brand manager & finance manager as well as social media manager need a serious sit down to discuss public perception and long term product viability. But there playing the numbers, actuaries actually sit and work out perception/profit and after a nice fat xbone payout looks like the numbers are in & the numbers say no matter what we say or release, people will still buy the game on console

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    Also whoever the DayZ brand manager is definitely slept his way through this status report. Unless I was completely out of touch with reality and the general bad press surrounding this game there's no way in hell I'd have allowed this report to be released in this state. Even this lowly commenter knows that when you wanna give a gaming community a bag full of bad news you wrap it in nice shiny wrapping paper and tie a bloody bow on it, the 1.0 announcement should have stated somewhere exactly in detail every single item that's being added back in, none of this oh it'll be too long nonsense. Throw the community a frickin bone and learn some damage control. Mays aswell just said "we want more money so were gonna stamp DONE on it in big letters so PS4 will let us sell in on the playstation network" i get it, it's a product & the dev team most likely have zero say on product release etc, it's in the hands of the money men. But jeez soften the blow atleast

    Status Report - 23 October 2018

    Hey guys n gals, Xbone DayZ player here. Just popped over to this site of the forum to gauge the reaction to this status report. As a long time follower of DayZ & as someone whose been dying to play the game since the first days of the MOD I was intrigued to see how the latest announcement would play out. Well out of all the comments so far I've seen maybe 4-5 posts giving it a thumbs up but the vast majority of commenters are obviously unhappy, Understandable so. Hell I'm not happy and I haven't been waiting nearly five years to be told that 1.0 will have less functionality, items, mechanics than an ancient MOD or even 0.62 version. has anyone considered the fact that PS4 rarely allow early access games on there network may have something to do with pushing the game to 1.0 even though claiming it to be finished is almost tantamount to false advertising, and most definitely not the actions of a moralistic honest business entity. If you label your game as a finished 1.0 version and iron out most bugs and stability issues then play station will let you farm more cash from there network. Money speaks louder than promises to die hard fans. I look at the high forum levels of some of you guys n gals and see many of you have stuck around and supported this game and dev team for a long long time, I'd feel like I'd been gut punched too if I were you. Much love from xbone land, we've only been on the ride for two months but most of us who bought the game have already uninstalled.

    Night time

    Yep this is why I've been tellin people to stop asking for night time until the new torch and flashlights are implemented as ATM they offer little to no illumination. Unless your on PC and can back your gamma up stupidly high ( which there gonna stop making possible eventually by underlaying an image to stop gamma abuse so it'll be impossible grainy to see) . But until the new ambient light sources in cities are added , night time is a death zone essentially
  19. TheYetiBum

    Will there be ...

    Beta or 1.0 release whichever you prefer will have basic base building and two ground vehicles but that's all. No helicopter until after full release, no other weapons, no vaulting or climbing potentially ever. But atleast we will get beard growth , weapon drawing animation and a proper surrender emote atleast so maybe bandits can rob rather than flat out kill people.
  20. TheYetiBum

    Will there be ...

    Nope Base games not gonna have loads of dayz mod functions, hell it's not gonna even have loads of 0.62 functions lol
  21. My condolences, DayZ wins every time for player killing potential. I couldn't play most of today as every server had the most obnoxious skipping and freezin going on as well as the usual frame rate death associated with looking in any direction with more than three houses lol

    Xbox Update 24/10/2018

    Yep I saw that too, looks like what we've got is all were getting. Pretty Disgusted by the status report tbh.

    In-game map is coming

    Wow a huge amount of legacy features not coming back, loads of weapons not coming back. No list of items or clothing returning, the PC Community is gonna go gaga over this status report. Glad I'm not a BI developer right now lol

    Xbox Update 24/10/2018

    They can't confirm until they get confirmation from xbox that the update is viable. So we will know when they do, plus they told us early so people who rage about character wipes can augment there emotions in advance so that they don't fill the forums with hate/dissapointment. It'll come when it comes and if it failed xboxs preview update checking system it'll come later rather than soon. I for one am glad for the advance notice , any communication is good communication

    Xbox Update 24/10/2018

    Super happy that the updates are comin thick and fast, any stability fixes are appreciated. It's a real shame that we haven't received simple controller updates yet though or the ability to simply bind our own keys (as elite controller owners do anyway) I really thought we would atleast get the ability to hold breath whilst scoped in by now. Long range Combat is clunky, random and down right painful with this missing. Also the ability to look over shoulder In freelook would be really nice, but something is better than nothing
