Idea for Better Player Interaction on Xbox

[Kohlbar 270]

Sorry, but I want this to be seen and don't want to post in the xbox section because it's dusty af over there. I was thinking a good way to improve players talking to each other and communicating in-game on Xbox would be to make the down button on the d-pad a toggle talk instead of a push-to-talk button. There could be a setting in the menu to make it a toggle or hold. It would just make it much easier for controller users to keep talking while running or fighting and encourage people to team up in VOIP instead of isolating themselves from interaction through parties, which is what restricts most random player interaction on Xbox.

They should just make it like on PC, Caps Lock is hold to talk, 2x Caps Lock is toggle.

(unless that keybind is already taken on console)

And I think DayZ modding is the wrong place for this topic. You could have posted it in Suggestions, I think.

@Kohlbar : double-tap “down” on the d-pad.

D-pad is a weird thing to douple-tap. It would probably work, but the d-pad is just a wonky and off-feeling thing to douple-tap, as it's not very tappy. I thought you guys were seriously about to tell me they should just make double-tap CTRL as the toggle button like it is on the PC and I was about to flip my beans. The amount of people who simply don't understand what a fudging controller and console is on this forum is absolutely mind boggling (I've run into exactly 2) but that's 200% too many people. I digress. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE BETTER. oh and I just realized I put this in modding lol. Toodle-loooooooooooOOOOOooooo
