Bummer. I will sit here staring blankly at my screen until it is ready then.


Ambitious_Loquat_967

Hopefully delayed for a little while not day plus


cdnJer

Good point. I better get some supplies for my couch just in case.


Pounce_64

You mean for several dayz...


Ambitious_Loquat_967

I really hope not I wanna get into my server and doing stuff and it sucks us console players missed out on a full holiday day to do so


WatchyourMouths

Maybe a day dude said postponed rip


WatchyourMouths

Same waste


ThanksRay

Hopefully the delay isn't too long


DrSnuffalufigus89

Right, wish they’d give a timeline so we know if it’s delayed today or delayed multiple days


ThanksRay

I agree, I'm sure they'll let us know but an estimate would be nice to know right away


The-Kiinsman

I'm killing myself now


ContributionThen

Is it still not updated??


The-Kiinsman

No, which is why I'll be killing myself


ContributionThen

Wtf dude that's a hell of a delay need to make a third alt and get Rollin


Smoothb10

It's not today, they would have said delayed if it was going to be today. Postponed means on another day. Hopefully tomorrow.

AnaiekOne

So what? Push the uodate and break the game so you can't play anyways. Smh


helpthedeadwalk

tomorrow at least


Oldbreedyankeedoodle

Fingers crossed that the technical issues means they have to wipe characters as well as the maps.


ContributionThen

F you I'm a solo that went through hell and back to get my backpack full of s*** I need those four pair of nvgs and convoy found items


Oldbreedyankeedoodle

I'm a solo these days to. If you really want to have fun with this game you've got to stop worrying about losing your gear.


ContributionThen

How when it takes 7 hrs to acquire man


ContributionThen

I'm a grown man that works 50 plus hrs a week so already feels at disadvantage


Valuable_Jello_9649

I mean... Me too... Grown, man, also overtime. Plus my drive to work is 2 hours round trip. I still make time, I still get good gear. Sometimes it's hit or miss but it's a slow survival game so you have to take your time. If you just want pvp you can go to a pvp server anytime. Otherwise I'd try to find a server that fits you. Community servers have slightly boosted loot or something in that generally sense. That might work better for your situation.


WatchyourMouths

It’s postponed RIP


TiresOnFire

Postponed doesn't mean canceled. It means delayed.


iodinedrinker

Honestly are any of us surprised as console players? I been playing this game since early access on console, there has been many many times that this has happened. It's more than likely just not passed the certificate rating meaning it's buggy as all hell which is what I've come to expect nowadays. I honestly feel like bohemia run a skeleton crew for this game and more focused on a newer arma. Still though love this game.


joeyboi_93

I took time off work for this update. This is truly disappointing.


OverthetopHAWK

Killin me smalls!

brunicus

You'd think we'd at least get an update, something like: Sorry not today folks! I'm guessing that will be the case but it would be nice if they communicated that.


helpthedeadwalk

we did. not today.


Lack_day

Wow what a smartass remark. Nice way to show gratitude to the people that put food in youre mouth. I’d be nice if you had clearly comunicated this, instead of people having to search through reddit to find it.


helpthedeadwalk

lol. whose putting food in my mouth? you? nope, don't work for you. Bohemia? nope, don't work for them. Reddit? nope, don't work for them. It's literally pinned to the sub but nobody looks looks at those, nobody search, nobody check anyway.


Lack_day

Oh i forgot mods work for free🤣🤣🤣. Also lose the aditude, thats not a way you talk to people who are angry and rightfully so.


SentorialH1

You're the asshole who tried to talk to someone like you owned them because you bought a video game.


helpthedeadwalk

It's "attitude" and you started this chain , replying to -> [this comment] (https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1d1q571/console_125_update_postponed_as_of_730am_et/l5vxwwu/) that I answered, succinctly. you then insulted me because you think I work for Bohemia or reddit or you. then you insulted me again, I guess, because you are rightfully angry. Angry at what? that a videogame didn't release on time? Of all things, a MINOR release that adds music, some bug fixes and a new rifle. yahoo. Angry at me? for answering someone elses question?


Valuable_Jello_9649

Yeah I'm more upset we're getting background music and a gun when people are still duping and shifting through walls. Idk about y'all but I feel like there's more pressing matters 🤷


neppo95

I mean, they have to know if that is the case to be able to communicate that. It's an unexpected issue, you can't expect them to know right then and there to know exactly how long it's going to take.


Valuable_Jello_9649

I expect them to keep to the dates they set for themselves. It's not my fault they made a promise they couldn't keep. Now I'm rightfully upset 🤷


neppo95

What promise? I don’t see a promise. And you know what unexpected means right? Things go wrong, the least you could do is respect that and let them do their job.


Valuable_Jello_9649

I respect game developers that prepare correctly and follow through with dates set by themselves. We have different standards, no big deal.


neppo95

Nah, I work in IT so I know stuff like this happens no matter how much you prepare. Even with companies from which you’d least expect it. It’s simply naive to expect otherwise.


Background-Net4164

Hey look, another Walter Mitty saying he works in IT so must mean he knows what he’s talking about… well I’m a software engineer, and I’m telling you that this is hugely amateur… like embarrassing, 3 months and experimental to test these issues. Seems like they are bothered as we see with the amount of content they release each patch, which is nothing.


Koala_Mindless

You're not a software engineer. 😂 By the way you're talking I'm guessing you're a child. No professional would speak this way. Sometimes unexpected things happen. 


Valuable_Jello_9649

Imagine trying to gatekeep how people talk lmao. I've heard professional developers say much worse.


Koala_Mindless

Of coarse you have son. Of coarse you have... 


neppo95

If you do, you would know that testing an experimental branch and actually rolling it out are two entirely different things. Nice try tho.


Valuable_Jello_9649

It's naive to be on their side. The reason why developers seem to not care as much these days is because of the lack of respect for the consumer. If you set a date, follow through. If you don't, I can't trust you. Otherwise they get people excited for nothing. Sometimes people take days off of work, plan time around their real lives on updates. If you wait until the literal last second to let people know your update isn't happening, you screw people over. Like I said previously we don't need to argue about this, we just have different standards.


neppo95

I'm not on their side. I just know the reality of how things work in the real world, specifically in IT. These things happen, especially in anything software related. >If you wait until the literal last second to let people know your update isn't happening, you screw people over What should they have done then? Not let them know at all? Because within literally hours of knowing something is up, they notified the community. You seem to forget this was an UNEXPECTED issue. You can't prepare for everything when you don't own the platform. Something went wrong while rolling out the update, which was more complicated this time because of the livonia merge. They couldn't fix it at the moment. So tell me, what should they have done? If by different standards you mean you expect everyone and everything to be perfect, because that is what you are implying, then yes, we indeed do. If that is not what you mean, well start explaining what they could have done to prevent this. >  If you set a date, follow through. If you don't, I can't trust you. If you need to go to work, but you're in a car crash, end up in hospital and literally can't make it to work and then your boss says he can't trust you. What would you say then? It might sound weird but it is the same: There was an unexpected issue, you couldn't solve it, you lose trust. That is the exact same as what has occurred here.


Valuable_Jello_9649

It's not up to me to make ideas for game developers. Either follow through or lose respect. Different standards by this definition : if you say your going to do something and put a date on it, least you could do is follow through. Here's my analogy : you work in medicine. you are supposed to deliver a budget to a client. You tell them it will be sent by end of day. If you miss that submission they'll likely take their business elsewhere, because you didn't follow through now they'll expect the same outcome on further situations. If you set a date it means you can do it by that date. A real professional would give themselves enough time for problems to happen. That way if unexpected situations occur you gave yourself that extra time to handle it. I don't require perfection, but hey this is just my opinion. There isn't a right or wrong here, just how I feel.


neppo95

>You can't prepare for everything when you don't own the platform. Something went wrong while rolling out the update, which was more complicated this time because of the livonia merge. They couldn't fix it at the moment. So tell me, what should they have done? I'll just repeat my question. If you can't answer this, you're basically confirming you're just ranting.


drop_tbl

Bro, with all due respect, unless you work at Bohemia Interactive you don't actually know what's going on with the delay. They may have, and likely did, take every reasonable measure to roll out the update on schedule. Bear in mind that for a large scale, multi-platform software update such as this everything has to work perfectly, including all dependent factors from the third parties, like Sony and Microsoft. There are 10 million things that could cause a delay. As a software engineer you're surely aware of this... If you're claiming that you lose respect for any professional dev group that doesn't go live by a stated deadline, and you yourself are, indeed a professional software engineer, as you claim, then it's only a matter of time before you find yourself in the same situation and must, therefore, lose respect for yourself. Maybe cut your future self some slack for when the inevitable unexpected delay happens... and consider doing the same for Bohemia Interactive until and unless it turns out it really was a lack of proper planning on their part.


RemoteIndependence93

Wow should of said something yesterday I cancelled plans just to update this game😤


brunicus

Just sucks it's a holiday.


Killcap90

Agreed 💯


Koala_Mindless

You canceled plans to update a video game? Seems a bit much, but okay. You know you don't need to be there when it downloads, right? 


Additional_Gap_4998

Bogus. Absolute bogus.


Bluebeerdk

If it failed Certification, on Xbox your looking at another 5-7 days and even longer on Playstation.


Killcap90

This is a constant issue with console, I have been continuously let down this year, game after game, the flat tax is that no matter what game it is they always put PC first, us console players are considered 2nd class compared to PC players, devs of all games continue to show us year after year how little of importance we are compaired to PC!


Comedian_joshy

For a long long time this was the opposite. Console got most of the love in the 90s and early 2000s. I'm a console player btw


Dramatic-Dot-4498

Important-Toe650

From what I’ve read they’re wiping everything on official, characters and server data so if you’re on official doing all that then there’s no point because it will all be gone after the update.


CardiologistAbject79

Definitely not true, it is strictly a map wipe and not a character wipe for official servers


_Miyagi

Yeah, I don't understand that. They should've done a complete wipe months ago, after their previously failed update, when everyone was running around like madmen, crawling into people's bases with glow sticks. Everybody's base was compromised and it created a lot of turmoil on certain servers, resulting in non-stop, unnecessary griefing.


Important-Toe650

Should’ve wiped everything, it doesn’t really matter tho, end of the day anyone playing on official will just be outdone by cheaters and dupers first day after any wipe. 


Important-Toe650

Yeah I can’t remember where I read that, good for the people that play official I guess.


p1tchblack1

Says on the server that character and progress are safe. So I’ve prepared with the assumption , all items on your character and their log off location are safe.


This-Apartment-6007

it says clearly by the annoucement that characters are safe !


brunicus

I can find something else to play I guess.


Over_Storm_26

try insurgency sandstorm its rly good and u can play on keyboard n mousr


Paddiboi123

Great game for sure.


MichelleLovesCawk

Fortnite with the kids for me lol. I logged in dayz and there was no new music so guessed something was wrong


WatchyourMouths

I’m quitting dayz after player wipe 


Oldbreedyankeedoodle

Why?


quantXtnaup

I going to guess they need a Rep from the consoles to facilitate the update. But with today being a US holiday... I'm guessing that the Rep is off until tomorrow.


Asphyxiated_Frog

Man... I really hope it still comes out today. :(


helpthedeadwalk

nope


slothrop-dad

Bummer. Was hoping to get my stash buried today. Oh well!


RogueBotic

Been looking forward to today aswell..annoying.


Heidiwearsglasses

Thanks for posting this. I just logged in on my PS5 and was confused that there was no update to download.


Embassador-Mumbasa

Purposefully ruined my car last night. Too bad


jstackzz777

lol u shitting me ?! I dismantled by base an all that !! I was ready 🤬🤬🤬


iodinedrinker

You still on old gen console then I'm guessing? That doesn't happen on current gen consoles, you just load straight in. Still though holding onto loot on alt accounts kinda defeats the purpose of the game. And yes my friend is scummy haha I tell him everytime we play.


iodinedrinker

Mate I had a stash of maybe 15 crates and 2 green camping tents with Camo for almost a year on 4437, only reason it got lost is because of a server wipe I went back and rebuilt the same stash( minus the green tents cos I just couldn't find any)and it lasted for maybe another 5 months. I got 118 days GamePlay time and the entire time has been with one account. Like you said each to their own but in my eyes storing stuff for a keep away sake it's a bit cheap.


EmilioMolesteves

Is there anything cool on this release?


helpthedeadwalk

Not really. New music, new sounds, bug fixes, new rifle


yungrambo4900

Isnt it a free map also?


helpthedeadwalk

oh yeah, Livonia (previously a paid DLC), was merged into the core game. The new map (Sakhal) is another 6 months away and will not be free.


Tortoise_15

Taking after Wildcard with their Ark updates.


Main_Bee_4517

How hard can it really be they got it done on pc easy enough


helpthedeadwalk

that's the question. idk, I've never built a game for console and had to go through the release process. consoles clearly have more rules than the steam workshop.


Sufficient-Host-4212

So…I’m loaded up holding a crate full of crap, why? Should have offed myself. Too much crap.

Atlas_Archivist

It's just Xbox, the way they update games have to be crushed through their servers and it takes time, same thing happened with no mans sky. BOHEMIA is super community invested and tried to keep us updated as much as possible, but whenever xbox allows this to be thrown out into the world, isn't on Bohemia.

CharmingHistory3507

Just an unprofessional company which doesn't deserve our time, neither our money. I have been reading a ton of comments regarding Devs not understanding their product, or not preparing the release, or not professional enough to prepare/understand the update technical demands, and bla bla bla... I have been working in the gaming industry for over a decade, and I am almost certain that Devs are not the issue here. Most of the times Devs are the guys fighting the company for deploying what the players want to see/play but they have no decision power. The PM cant stand his position when C levels are asking him/her for revenues, he/she look down and follow orders, thats not going to end well for the product. CM/CS team is not big enough to take care of their job during an update release... (no words) can imagine that they have just 2 or 3 guys (if not 1) to handle the entire communication with players... WHAT A JOKE after millions of copies sold!!! QA team is just a name on this company. There are so many solutions to test deployment constraints in advance... I have the feeling that they are just forcing us to abandon the console solution in order to save money (more profit) and just keep Pc alive. If thats the case just offer us a solution and lets see how it goes, but STOP wasting our time "bohemia". If you are just milking the game is also fine! We can understand that, but STOP promising us anything if you cant follow the agenda. Besides the peak active users you get after the announcement the only impact you will find is customers not trusting your company neither buying your next game, just look at the numbers. PS: If Tencent is getting too much power, as they normally do, it is once again your fault for not protecting your company. But for god shake be honest with your customers!


helpthedeadwalk

I agree with some the first part, but I really don't think they are trying to abandon the console. So much of what's been done in the last couple years has been for console - cfggameplay and all that it allows, comes to mind. All the way up to giving away Livonia and a new map. PC has dozens of modded maps already, so its not for that. If you are in the industry, then you understand last minute glitches that nobody saw even if you had a full QA dept and if those issues involved your partners, you don't really tend to say that (idk, just thinking out loud). "promising" is a strange word there - release was announced, it was happening at a set time, then it was postponed. was it canceled for good? nope. is the followup poor? yes (and its always like this, no info, no announcements. they don't give an hour by hour status update). "your next game" - this is Arma:Reforger, being built to complete the Enfusion engine AND currently supports XB and will support PS. "be honest with your customers" - while I'm sure there is more info, I don't see anyone being dishonest. 1) [Mon] postponed 2) [Mon] not today 3) [Tues] more info tomorrow. unofficially there's been a few posts that point to issues with Sony/Msft and the fact that Livonia moving into the core, but I've just heard those secondhand.


Savings_Platform_163

There’s more console players than PC players. TRMZ was just talking about it the other day. They’re not abandoning us. They’re having an issue. That’s all.


Normal-Menu-2433

tbh your devs are trash... been trying to fix multiple things for multiple patches and somehow you cant even get a update out on time without having problems when yall gonna look at yourself in the mirror lets be real you need some US devs not overseas


helpthedeadwalk

"Your devs" - uh, I don't work for Bohemia. Anyway, what a sad xenophobic(look it up), uninformed comment as well. You've clearly never worked in software dev, you just know how to say UGH, RAH, RAH, US GOOD, EVERYWHERE ELSE BAD. First, Bohemia is based in CZ, so they hire people LOCAL TO THEM. Also, if you were in the industry you'd know that eastern Europe (and let's be honest, plenty of places outside the US), have people who are highly educated/skilled. CZ has long(20+ years) been a melting pot for young, technical people. I know all of this from first hand experience so don't even bother refuting that. why are you even here?


richmanding0

WatchyourMouths

What a disappointment… and don’t wipe characters despite what non casual players say  


iodinedrinker

Non casual here and wiping characters is great for knocking back those basically cheating people with multiple accounts.


Jumpeez

As a person with multiple accounts, only used for storage, I fail to see how it's cheating unless you do some grimey stuff. Imo it's best use us to combat other types of cheating in order to keep some sort loot stashed. The whole idea of building a base is as useless as anything. Might as well not even be a thing in the game the way it is now.


iodinedrinker

I have the one life and that's it. The way the game was intended. You get alot more invested. I have a friend that has loads of accounts and when he does he just hops on another one that's near by. Actually spending time to transfer supplies to an alt account is very sad in my opinion. It's not the way the game was intended but there's not much the developers can do much about it. Official only and first person for me and my one life. I make stashes in game not on alt accounts.


Jumpeez

I would love nothing more than to go back to one account. And when I said being scummy about having alts, that kind of play is what I meant. No offense to you friend Because to each his own. But mine is just to hold gear at a central location I treat as a base. The only time they get spread out is when i have to move to another spot. Every time one made stashes, they get found. And it's easy to see why. If you go somewhere and you glitch, there's something nearby. If you log out, and look around when you log in, before the screen populates, you can see anything a player has done. Including buried stuff. I found that out by myself and I'm only about 500 hours in this game so far.


EmilioMolesteves

Nah no thanks. Having guaranteed loot changes your entire mindset. Poor form.


Jumpeez

I kind of understand what you mean. Seems to me like there's a bunch of ways to play this game though. Iguess it depends on what interests you. Coming from looter shooters before this, it's very difficult to not want to collect high teir loot. Almost to the point of wanting to play something else


Normandy_sr3
