...did it get a big backlash? I have enjoyed it immensely. The only reason I would ever go back to PC is if I got full xbox controller support, and that is only because I want to ride around on a dragon and use the GOT mod! 

Xbox plays very similar to my "middle of the road gaming PC", I just have friends who have xboxes and can play with me. I would suggest giving it a shot, you can play for 1 hour for free!

1) When you have to much speed on a bird and you hop off it and it lanches you far away and you have the bird on follow and its just flying circles round you and is impossible to stop ;-;
2) When you have High level tames and ARK Updates to a new Version and Mods get rekt and have to send a update and it nerf's the raptor out of your high lvl dinos ;-; I had a lvl 1700 Drake and it had heaps in weight hp melee speed and stam but the mod updated and its now like throwing foam at a tank hoping the tank explodes ;-;

I thought campfires provided insulation instead of higher temperature?

They do provide hypothermic insulation. Nothing in the game actually raises or lowers the temperatures in the game. so holding H to see the temp isn't a good way to judge if a fire or AC is helping. All sources of fire up the Hypothermic resistance while lowering Hyperthermic. AC's (Air Conditioners) provide a buff to both.

Spy glass, if you use that and whistle follow it works over pretty much any distance. I prefer it when my birds hover after I accidentally throw myself off, as it means they wont get eaten on my journey back.

When your trained raptor got outrun by a bear someone pls nerf the direbear's weight limit and top speed

I am sure all the stats will be optimized prior to full release of game... Maybe...

I don't understand why gender identification from a glance is an issue?

Egg laying is based on location, were you closer to your ptera while playing, or were they close together? I have found that dilos drop heaps more eggs than my ptera.

This is a strange bug, it was probably eating from a different trough, dinos don't always eat from the closest one... Unless it was actually dying of starvation, in which case, just throw away all the old spoiled meat stacks, and replace with "new" spoiled meat.

Ever seen a bear running? A normal grizzly goes 35 mph. (50km/h)

You would be surprised to see this. many miscalculated on this fact thinking bears are slow, watching them from 200-300 mtrs, then watch the other direction for a few seconds and then have to gtf in their cars and drive away because the bloody hairy thing was almost on top of them.

I was not aware of that, thanks for the fun fact @NukeZX. The only bears I ever worry about in Australia is drop bears.
