I like shadowplay and your completely right that there is literally no performance loss but I find mostly I like to play with friends and shadowplay as of current does not record 3rd party applications such as Skype unless i was to record it separately with audacity but I cba. I use OBS for my videos as i stream with OBS also and find recording with it pretty stable, if you look at my signature there's a link to my channel where you can view some of my videos which are all recorded with OBS. If you want setting info then message me and ill send you some details. Another thing I would stress is the server is a big factor of fps when playing and recording, if the server's scripts are not organised properly and/or are not configured properly then it can result in big drops in fps especially prevalent on high loot servers.

Problem is, their are no "Clan Servers" anymore :/ seems to be they congregate to one random server they can all connect reasonably too and just ruin it for the rest of people. I know exactly where your coming from. For me i've seen clans that automatically arm bambi's or transport them around Chernaraus for no charge, which for me withdraws from some of the experience. The complete opposite of massacring bambi's can also be equally destructive as well. What makes me laugh the most is the "hardcores" that side with clans because they themselves have benefited from such a system :L

So guys thought id kick start a thread for all us DayZ Mod players relating to the popularity of private hive servers at the moment now that the public hive is pretty much a corpse and buried for the time being. My main question as you can see by the title is regarding DayZ "Clans" as I like to call them but you can call them "Groups" or whatever floats your boat I suppose. The main predicament I have with clans on these servers is the fact that 1) members of the clan are either donators or friends of private hive admins and so get unwarranted "freebies" should I say... or 2) They just take "the game" too damn seriously... now just for a bit of context on the kind of examples or debates I'm trying to bring up here id like to reference a particular server (Which shall not be named) in specific terms an "Epoch" server (I know, I know just hear me out okay?) in which a particular clan might as well have been a virus the way it manifested on the admins and the complete running of the server... 1st example: Me and my friend travelled from Stary to Pobeda Dam to go and complete a mission, after finding a rather comfy spot to survey the situation the server was restarted due to the fact that a couple of members of the "Clan" had been getting lag issues. Even though this decision went to vote and the majority voted against it (And may I say this majority were non-clan members) the server was still restarted anyway in favour of these malicious bastards, 2nd Example: Again, Me and 5 of my friends armed with DMR's and 1 AS50 decided to roam around completing missions for gold.... (SIDENOTE: THIS SERVER HAD TANKS/JETS/ARMED HELICOPTERS ENABLED, so maybe I was asking for a butt fucking right?) however we continuously died (No tears, not yet...) due to the fact the clan of about 5 members were going around in an Apache AH1 and an Stryker MGS not completing this missions, but using the thermal optics to kill people around them and then taunt them over chat (this was at no point challenged by an Admin...) 3rd Example: When Me and My friends were eventually able to save up 12 briefcases (don't ask me how we grinded for that, it was immense considering what we were up against) we bought our very own Stryker and decided to see if we could go and genuinely complete missions with it to get an influx in gold. Unfortunately for us although successfully blowing up one of the clans tanks in the process (which resulted in a declaration of war from their clan on me and my measly group of 5 other peasants. pathetic right?) we were ousted by not 1 but 2 Apaches! (Apaches are 12 briefcases/Stryker is also 12) 36 briefcases?? even by clan standards that's ridiculous considering these guys also had 2 momentous concrete bases obviously paid for by admins. And what happened after this you ask? Well the tank wasnt a big loss for them, considering they had another one apparently and were using that one just for "shits and giggles" as it was stated. Overall the past is the past and those server days are behind me. So what are your guys views on this kind of behaviour, I know there's nothing we can do about it and its best to steer clear. But do you condone this? is it really good for the community as a whole? I guess you could argue a 5 man squad armed with DMR's on an original DayZ mod server is perhaps not "good" for the community but I guess its better than the unfair advantage that comes with Epoch of hoarding shit like a shit stacker.

Is there anyway I can join a server by its IP through DayZ Launcher?

Hmm today I went on and tried to do a C130 crash mission, got there and killed the ai got shot by a guy and was made unconscious but he didn't realise so I woke up and killed the guy then went down and got the loot, however as I was driving away I got sniped. Pretty good shot still tbh...

So guys I've been doing a lot of recording for my YouTube channel lately in regards to completing AI missions on Epoch servers and I was wondering how you guys approach them? To me it seems like there are 3 groups of people: - People like me who sit and wait for some poor bugger to clear the mission himself, then murder him from a safe distance, say 600m? Then survey the scene for another hour until its safe to loot... - People who buddy up with Admins or donators to completely wreck noobs and then share the loot among themselves (Godmode = OP) - People who clear the missions with high powered vehicles (Armer choppers, Vodniks, Tanks etc...) So what's your approach, are you the patient player, or do you like to hit it with everything you've got?

Sorry to have caused any trouble, will do so in the future! Thanks dude! You have my beans! :)

Without a doubt start with the vanilla, it will give you the basics of the game and like you said the original "Spooky" or "desolate" feeling the game offers at its barebones state. Then if your interested and feel your starting to grow bored of the vanilla move onto Epoch, again its simple and will allow you to get used to base building and the way currency works in the game as well as that you can train your own PvP skills by carrying out missions. Then if you get bored even of that! you can go to OverPoch which is basically Epoch with a shit ton more guns loot and vehicles! the reason I say don't skip to OverPoch is because its like having a truck load of new systems and options being thrown at you all at the same time so I would just browse through the mods in that order until you get bored. Also asa side note, even within the confines of these mods (Vanilla, Epoch & Overpoch) there are loads of different configurations and heavily modded servers that build upon these so you basically have a Utopia of choice in front of you to enjoy! Happy Hunting! Miles

Like people have said here already, a mans loot is his most valuable thing especially on modes such as Epoch. Especially with the mod it seems the military calibre of gear you can get is too fun not to use in my opinion. DMR's, M24's, Mk48 MOD 0's are all insane guns that are put in the game purely for the PVP aspect which is why its such a popular route to take. DMR's etc.. are way to overkill for just killing zombies or even AI and scream "GIVE ME MURDER!" at you. Whilst I don't condone DayZ servers being just outright deathmatch zones I think PvP is just a very rewarding aspect of the game compared to blood bagging people and helping them... Needs to be a more persuasive reward system for carrying out heroic acts, why even bother when you can shoot a guy and take his stuff for yourself without any repercussions other than you can buy at the "hero trader"? Oh yeah, that's right because you can just kill more people and be more of an ass hole and then go to the "Bandit trader" instead :/

I only shoot if its ever in my interest, for example if I'm at a mission then I take no chances, if you turn up I WILL shoot you. Other than that I like to think a dead man with a gun is better than a living one with a gun in terms of my own safety on the game. However that's not to say I've never got it wrong, I've done things on this game I'm not proud of...

Hi there people! So recently I've been recording some gameplay due to the fact I like to capture some of the moments I have with my friends or myself whilst on DayZ as well as Arma in general and I've now setup a YouTube channel for me to upload my content to. Id appreciate it a lot if you guys could just take a minute to look at my YouTube page and comment on the layout/thumbnails or just my content in general and give me some feedback or constructive criticism! My YouTube channel is: [snipped] Thanks again guys!

Since this question would be more opinion based, your wrong. Because obviously an opinion must be backed by some kind of explanation or experience in order for it to be valid.

hey guys I am currently streaming some of the DayZ Mod on twitch right now if you wanna pop in and say hello! Channel: www.twitch.tv/artofstealth1911 Hope to see you there! :)

Hi there guys! Gonna be streaming DayZ for a couple of hours, so hop in and say hello! :) http://www.twitch.tv/artofstealth1911 hope to see you there :)

The point is the reality of the situation not what you think a survival game should be, the mosin has a 5 round clip, its not suppose to magically change when its spray painted...
