Label your post![Unlabeled] Garbage devs

What a horrendous dev team. The state of this game on xbox is beyond abysmal and anybody saying otherwise is ignorant. They couldnt care less about our criticism and just keep pushing out garbage slop updates. $30 and 2 years for Badlands to be unplayable will be the cherry on top.

I haven’t played the game even once since they introduced forced crossplay. Really really hurt that studios standings in my eyes. Dayz 2 when it comes went from a guaranteed purchase to probably not going to get it.

I just don’t play games with PC cheaters lol. I’m not going to do it. Stop trying to force me to do it. Let me play my Xbox games on my Xbox with other Xbox players. What the fuck is so hard about that?!?

Microsoft and their subscription based financial model is going to completely ruin gaming. There’s nothing we can do about it, we will just be the old guys talking about how much better everything used to be

u/Tyler_Durden69420 5d ago

Sad but true.

I already tell people how games used to be released and not updated. If the game sucked at launch no one bought it. Now half baked games come out and they patch it repeatedly until almost complete then release a new game.

u/Boomslang2-1 5d ago

I’ve been an Xbox gamer my entire life and this has me considering making the switch to PlayStation. Forced crossplay genuinely ruins gaming for me.

go ahead ya damn goof,

u/Boomslang2-1 4d ago

Blind brand loyalty is such a crazy concept to me, why do you have to shill for a billion dollar company that thinks the goal is to take as much of your money as possible and give you the smallest amount in return?

1

u/BawshidoTheRonin 4d ago

this has nothing 2 do with brand loyalty, this about a dumbass consumer base. u complainin about a problem that doesn't exist if you played on console servers, and now u wanna switch to the worse console of the two bcuz u think that'll fix your problems, all the while PS players are getting shafted

u/Boomslang2-1 4d ago

Microsoft is the one pushing forced crossplay with PC. Which they are doing bc they lost the console war with PS. I’ll stay with Xbox forever if they drop the forced crossplay with pc cheaters. I don’t like that, and I’m not going to do it. If I have to switch consoles to avoid it, I will.

2

u/BawshidoTheRonin 4d ago

and if you think Xbox lost the console war sell me yours

u/NoTap6147 4d ago

I play alot of Day Z on my series X. I love the game. 🤷

1

u/BawshidoTheRonin 4d ago

u still not reading or understanding. U DONT HAVE TO PLAY MOUSE AND KEYBOARD SERVERS! GO TO CONSOLE ONLY SERVERS WITH OTHER CONSOLE PLAYERS! THERE ISNT ANY "FORCED CROSSPLAY" IN DAYZ

0

u/This_Salt7080 2d ago

He’s right ya damn goof. Microsoft is the one pushing the cross platform stuff because its all about gamepass. The issue is bigger than DayZ, and for some reason you are raging despite not knowing what you are talking about.

1

u/BawshidoTheRonin 2d ago

sir this is a DayZ post, and we were talking in reference to that . Go be "technical" somewhere else

u/Ng1Kaz 5d ago

Do you play on MKB servers? The crossplay is only on those servers. Whilst I agree it should not have happened at all, there are no longer PC players on controller servers.

2

u/Dapper_Advantage3279 4d ago

But its not forced crossplay at all...? You can simply choose to hide crossplay servers in the menu, which is on default for me.

2

u/the-ryan-fella2 5d ago

you probably already know, but its only on keyboard and mouse servers

-5

u/Boomslang2-1 5d ago

It’s not tho. You can play on pc and boot up the game through the cloud or gamepass and still access Xbox only servers.

5

u/the-ryan-fella2 5d ago

no they fixed that it can tell now if your on a console or not and will not let you connect to controller servers no matter what. the only cheating is on keyboard and mouse servers going onto one will show you instantly that theres cheaters there and not on controller servers

3

u/BawshidoTheRonin 4d ago

no you cant

1

u/LoneroftheDarkValley 4d ago

That was fixed with the latest update. PC players can only play with Xbox players on M&K servers now.

1

u/Gathose1 5d ago

PC played here. Its unreal to me that they forced crossplay. The cheating problem is out of control on PC, why the hell would they subject everyone else to that.

21

u/SteeziOSRS 5d ago

Yeah I mean, badlands isn’t even worth considering with how bad the game performs right now. If we don’t get the native res update we were promised, the game is good as done as far as Xbox servers are concerned. We waited for a year for 1.29 just to have it ruin legitimately everything. So I don’t hold much hope anymore. Praying I’m wrong though

23

u/ra3xgambit 5d ago

They already got their GamePass check. They have no incentive to maintain it now.

3

u/BlackUndeadWargod666 5d ago

No integrity either evidently

9

u/PandorasFlame1 5d ago

The never ending blatant cheating is what makes the game so good /s

5

u/zerofiven1n3 5d ago

not to mention they are shilling this game for 60 fucking dollar on the switch 2. like, wtf???

2

u/Delicious-Orchid-952 5d ago

Ive been out of the loop. Did they seriously introduce forced cross play? I specifically bought an Xbox to play Dayz instead of just playing on my pc.

4

u/Kokura_Luck 5d ago

Kinda not really. In 1.29 they made it so players on Xbox and PC share the same servers and you can’t turn it off, however it’s only for the PC players who play DayZ with the Xbox App, most likely people playing with PC game pass. It does not include the players who play DayZ on Steam. When I looked into the ratio of DayZ players on PC, apparently by 2026 statistics, an estimated 95% of PC DayZ players are on Steam, not Xbox app.

Personally I’ve never encountered an obvious hacker since the patch but I always play on mid pop servers anyways

3

u/Last_Error6627 5d ago

I got killed by 1 hacker on xbox before the patch to make the pc players on mnk servers only. That's it. Didn't ruin my love for dayz. Just another death, back to shore and keep playing like normal.

3

u/Kokura_Luck 5d ago

That’s the best mentality to have! As much as it sucks to have to deal with it occasionally, we can’t let people ruin something that we really enjoy

1

u/TurbulentComedian565 4d ago

Are you sure about this? A friend of mine joined me on Xbox from his PC (this was when they could get into both m&k and controller-only servers.) He had just bought a new PC and was excited about using it. And I’m almost positive he bought the game through Steam.

1

u/Kokura_Luck 3d ago

I’m not 100% sure about it because I only play on Xbox and I just got this information by googling it. The information I found online said that it’s just between Xbox App and Xbox One consoles but the source could have been full of nonsense

3

u/Ballsakr 5d ago

Yea its so bad. I stopped playing at the last update. Absolutely ridiculous

3

u/DonutDino 5d ago

I’ve been playing a good amount recently on Xbox and haven’t had any glaring issues. What issues are you running into?

2

u/FIirps 4d ago

I agree with you, I’ve literally never had a problem on Series X

1

u/Beautiful-Friend-608 4d ago

Yeah dude Xbox is currently horrendous, worst it’s been in YEARS by far

1

u/BlackUndeadWargod666 5d ago

Are you trolling or being serious?

2

u/DonutDino 4d ago

Serious, I played a lot years ago and am now playing again

1

u/DonutDino 4d ago

Maybe because I’m playing Sakhal and there’s a much lower player count on the server that usual

1

u/Zaamaasuu 4d ago

You're not wrong. I've always felt that the worst thing about DayZ are the devs. Hell, things from the initial trailer in 2013 are not even in game lol. So much mismanagement and fake promises.

1

u/BlackUndeadWargod666 4d ago

Theyre scummy people at heart. They would actually promote cheating in their game "Its DayZ! 🤪🖐 just do it all over again!" Instead of fixing the slop theyre so proud of.

1

u/SUPERDUPERFLY2429 4d ago

CRAZY WORK BRA

1

u/Sbum58 4d ago

I mean it’s an old game that was originally built for PC… 🤷🏻‍♂️

2

u/BlackUndeadWargod666 4d ago

They should give me my money back then for advertising a game that doesnt function by any means.

1

u/Sbum58 4d ago

Could try asking. Doubt you’ll get the refund but yeah how they’re still selling this game for cost is wild.

1

u/GiggingWithTheGoon 4d ago

Stopped playing several updates ago. Used to run a radio station on random official servers (DJ Bob, 96.6 THE BUNKER) but stopped supporting the company after too many years of being treated like an afterthought. To hell with them. I hope they go out of business.

1

u/thunderpaws93 4d ago

Yeah! $55 for a game I’ve ONLY gotten 3,000 hours out of? What a ripoff!!!

1

u/shade861 4d ago

Does Xbox still have the cars that think they're Crack fueled magic carpets of death?

1

u/icerat 3d ago

I play on official 1PP on both series X and S and haven't really had any issues. The current lack of some animal noises is the worst.

Low pop mostly though - perhaps the high pop servers are underpowered? 🤔

1

u/Realistic-Willow4287 3d ago

Do you even have any idea what dayz on xbox was like in 2019 and 2020? Cars were death traps, you had to relog to get access to stuff in your surrounding again, etc etc. They broke it again with the optimization for series but when Bohemia bought the game they eventually fixed it, original devs never fixed much of anything

1

u/BlackUndeadWargod666 3d ago

Do you even have any idea what dayz is like now? You wont find a car at all... 😆 cheaters are putting them on buildings in the sky. 6 years later theyre still failing to make a functioning game.

1

u/imtired-boss Unwritten RP 5d ago

The shamelessness of putting this game up for 70€ on Switch.

People who don't stop playing don't even consider the state of it. You need a good 2 weeks off to start thinking about it.

-4

u/console5891 5d ago

They are more interested in getting money for Badlands. Look at the state of Sakhal, a very poor map. With Livonia they improved a poor map, they did nothing on Sakhal. Time to find another game, they will probably charge £40 for badlands anyway.

9

u/ra3xgambit 5d ago

Sakhal is my favorite map. I have no issue with their maps at all. I take issue with the fact that they let cheaters run rampant, and the devs break every mechanic they touch.

0

u/console5891 5d ago

I run a server, I change the map every month as nothing is lost. Players have the same complaint not enough to it. Livonia was similar when launched, they added to it.

2

u/Sakhal_Farmer 5d ago

What are folks on your servers asking for more of regarding Sakhal?

0

u/console5891 4d ago

They think it’s boring, when it’s coming up to 1st September I will get lots of msgs asking me to skip the Sakhal map.

2

u/Sakhal_Farmer 4d ago

Anything beyond boring though?

0

u/console5891 4d ago

Just small map, and boring

0

u/ra3xgambit 5d ago

I run a server, as well. I’m not really sure what that has to do with it, though.

0

u/console5891 4d ago

I get feedback from lots of players, I change maps every month. Nobody wants Sakhal.

2

u/ra3xgambit 4d ago

You get feedback from a very specific group of players that have self-selected to play on your server that is set up a specific way. That’s what is known as biased feedback and isn’t at all representative of the general player population.

0

u/console5891 3d ago

Vanilla map, argument nonsense. I also said it was feedback from ppl on my server. I never suggested it was anything else.

0

u/console5891 4d ago

It’s a very small map

0

u/Always_Sleezy 5d ago

I know you don’t want to hear it I didn’t either 3k hours on the ps4 when it first came to consoles and holy shit it was so much worse back then but anyways yeah once I got a pc and got the game on PC it truly is night and day and a complete game changer GlTC

1

u/BlackUndeadWargod666 4d ago

Its worse now with cheaters arguably

0

u/No-Interest-5690 5d ago

Its crazy that they focusing on a brand new map when animals make no noise and the flare gun is still gone while hackers rampage official xbox. As a cherry on top chenarus hasn't gotten a single unique feature such as heat waves or cold snaps, snow, a bunker, cargo crates or any sort of puzzle,

u/CommaMeNow 5d ago

Just remember PlayStation players still don’t have the latest update
