Can we please get controller support on the console over to official servers on PC? The controls feel good already on console and it would be nice to use a Steam or Xbox controller right out of the box.

Can we please get controller support on PC?

I was getting really fearful for the development of DayZ earlier this year, so I had decided to just not play the game until its release. I will admit that I even joined in on the DayZ hate bandwagon at times, as people do when they feel their voice is insignificant. I can't apologize for the Xbox Community as a whole, but I can apologize for myself. I'm sorry that as a self proclaimed DayZ fan, I let my impatience get the better of me and discontinued my faith and support of DayZ's development. Even when I kept up with the occasional update, I was trepid of it's proposed release date on Xbox, since we saw what PC got on their release. But I realized that you guys at Bohemia are probably used to such fickle fanbases and I thank you for continuing DayZ development to bring us this release on Xbox. I think its safe to say that even your harshest, most ignorant, hate spewing critics were waiting for this release like all the rest of us; because the promise of your game is just that good. If DayZ can have just an inkling of the performance stability you guys speak of, then it would already be better than 75% of games on the Xbox Market. I have never played a game like DayZ in terms of role-playing survivability, and you'll be surprised how much a diverse game like DayZ is needed on the Xbox Market. But now I'm rambling and getting off topic which is TLDR; Sorry for being a hater Bohemia, and thank you for the release update of DayZ. P.S. I also understand the need to make a game different in terms of controller mechanics, but I mirror other peoples' concerns on the proposed controller scheme. Some of those button mappings still really don't make the best gaming sense, and they feel almost as if they're just forced differences to branch away from games like PubG. Again, I understand that but sometimes the tried and trued methods work best and don't really need to be changed up.. EX. Leaning on sticks instead of bumpers. And Im not sure what "press to use scope" means, but off the top of my head, it doesn't really sound like something that would feel comfortable on the R D-Pad

I can read buddy

Fixed Server crashes... Hallelujah!

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!

Any hide, different hides are supposed to make different bags but right now they look the same; just have different names when you craft them

You can shoot through fences and wood. At least thats what Ive felt; I think one time I even shot a guy to death through a door.

I think the only leather gear you can make right now on Xbox at least, is the two stages of the courier bag/ improvised backpack. There are no bows and arrows, traps, fishing, etc.

TLDR; theres no great place to look, because the game updates are relatively new in "information land," but you can start with Xbox YTs like Soy Legend, Obligated, blah blah in conjunction with PC Yts like Barely Infected, Frankie, blah blah etc. Keep in mind that because of its newness (DayZ), a lot of the info you will have to come up with on your own. Look for the Xbox youtubers like Soy Legend, Obligated, RED Tie, etc in conjunction with people like Barely Infected because our build doesn't have all the content PC does. Also, I haven't found any one source of information from the internet that provides an all inclusive guide because everything is outdated; even sites like gamepedia for DayZ. So with that in mind, those are good places to look, but you might find them lacking in everything you're looking for. I have OCD and like to know every single thing about a game, so I noticed real quick how apparent it was that theres a lack of information for DayZ that's either 1.) all encompassing/ as detailed as I want, 2.) outdated/ incorrect or 3.) specific to Xbox. For example, you can slide down ladders on PC now but still not on Xbox or some of the crafting mechanics are different on Xbox.

I agree its a weak argument, and that they've made their bread; Im just repeating the words of BI. I'm not a programmer so I can't really tell you why the game is the way it is or even a better/ more feasible solution to that. However, I can tell you by just basic mathematics that server locked characters would take an exponentially larger amount of data because this would apply to everyone who ever logs into that server. Multiply that by any x amount of character locked servers and you could see why that would get out of hand rather quickly, even with a server expansion. Like you, I too think the game doesn't really show where the money went, but what I have done is read their posts faithfully, and right now there are no plans for even private servers on Xbox. Am I happy with that? Nah. Im just saying what BI has been saying for the people in the back who didn't hear lol.

Whenever the next update on Xbox is

I use them when we have large groups. I think it gets a range of 20km? Could be wrong though

When I log back in after a ghost clip, my guns jam and become unusable, and sometimes even the mag.

Its not MY data, its the game's data. I'm too lazy to look for the original post by them, but the reason we don't have an unlimited number of character locked servers is because it literally takes up too much space on their side and its too much for the game to keep track of. No, logging off and logging back in for the first time isn't the same as server hopping so your status would be fine. If they don't make sense, I apologize. What Im saying isn't a new suggestion though, so just look at what other people are saying and assume Im agreeing with them, with the only difference being harder sanctions.
