There are two kinds of player hunters. One like what you see in this video and the others who hunt the ones like you see in this video. Happy hunting.

I have been having a similar experience these past few days and my internet sucks. 3d/1u dsl. I also run into a lot of desync issues where I can't do anything in game except move around. Happens more often when in vicinity of other players/friends. But like I said, only these past few days. I'm thinking it might have to do with the experimental version being tested on the network infrastructure. I am hopeful when experimental is released as stable to the masses, these issues won't be as common.

My shadow play experience. Recorded a video with in game and mic audio set to record. Result-garbage audio. Recorded a video with in game audio only. Result- in game chat sounds bad. Ocean sounds too loud. After latest driver update I can not run shadow play if day z is already open. I get the same red line you do. I can enable it before starting day z and it works with the same results mentioned above. DayZ = Alpha. Shadow Play = Beta. I'm not holding my breath. eVGA GTX 770 SC 4gb

No. I'm not looking to convert. I am a SubGenius. Part of that means I can experience any religion/cult/belief and/or non-belief system at will. But to experience, I need guidance from those who have already forged ahead.

Found the server again this morning. Spent an hour walking wiggling running and killing Zeds and Gas stations (namely the one between Berenzino and Solnichny). Very few people on the server, Had to log out for the next 9-10 hours. Be back later. I logged out in Krasnostav. Should be back around 4:00 - 4:30 EDT. I look forward to learning more.

You can't avoid server hopping. It's stupid to complain about it. I play for about an hour in the morning before work. What am I expected to do? Kill myself instead of log off? Travel all the way to a spawn point before I log off? Whether you log in to the same server or a different one, if you are alive when you log off, you might be a hopper. Hopping isn't bad, it's how people take advantage of it that is like loot farming or ghosting. But it's too early in development to worry about these things right now.

Can't locate the server anymore. Been searching all day, have it favorited and it doesn't show up. :(

So a bunch of friends and I are camping Solnichny's well last night. They wanted to kos everyone. We got 3 players in about 30 minutes. They had nothing and I got bored. I tried talking to the group about this activity because I kind of felt bad for the new spawns consistently coming by. It was a packed server and I really wanted a fair gun fight. When I asked what the sport was in killing the hopeless new spawns, they simply responded something I forgot myself "Fucking Karma Bitch. Did you forget how many times you were KOS'ed and us? shit happens." We decide to move to Berenzino. It would be ballsy but we wanted to lock it done from everyone as best we could. On the way there, we blow up the gas station which was a first for us and we loved it. But like moths to a flame, it attracted lots of bambis. (Oh and BTW - it kept exploding every few minutes which was awesome.) I convinced my group not to slaughter them. Instead, make them fight to the death for a prize. They agreed and we gathered up 5 for the event. No weapons, .no running away, winner takes all from losers plus gets food and a weapon. All but one agreed and tried to run. We gunned him down. The others went at it. It took a long time so we told them they were free to go for the shovel and use it. One lucky person got it. The person with the shovel and one other were the last two and both went unconscious. Time out, Bandage and revive. Go! Person without shovel wins by way of KO. Here's your food, Keep the shovel or take this guy's crow bar as a weapon. Loot the losers for everything you want. Have a great day. So we are about to leave. The winner wants to challenge one of us to a one in one. One person in our group agrees. Problem for this guy is he did not state fists only and is gunned down immediately. We thought it disrespectful to challenge one of us to a fight. My guess is the person did not die because a red chain and timer appeared signifying a server restart. When we loaded back in, my friend is screaming about being attacked and can't defend himself while loading in. The challenger was alive, knocked out my friend and stole his m4. Another buddy of mine gunned him down before any more damage could be done. I wanted to thank that entire group for sticking it through. Anyone of them could have jumped servers or ghosted us. They didn't. They played along and we had a blast. Especially to that winner who challenged then attacked us, that was great. Someday I will be a fresh spawn again and I will play it forward by going along to the very end of what ever will be. Thanks for a great time. When I have time, I will upload the entire video. Only problem is my voice didn't get recorded because shadow play sucks at recording two different audio sources at once (in game and Mic) so I only recorded in game.

721 minutes later and the video is uploaded. Waiting on Youtube to finish processing - http://youtu.be/FQLedWn-Z8k

*THUD*

Bathroom breaks and beer runs. WTF? Cheating? LOL. No. Just nope. And yes, I have to pay attention for side steps avoiding getting stuck in trees, bushes, fences, or running through water, taking a swim, Zeds and peeps.... It really just frees up my hands for short bursts of times. Better submit this to the BUGS forum. See if the devs can fix it.

I love it when they don't log and neither of us pull a trigger.

^^^Reason for this PSA^^^

Pressing V alot while trying to run might free you or cause a glitch where you fall off the mountain and die. I had to do it once. It takes a while but worked for me.

It's going to take 721 minutes from now for the upload to complete on youtube. Here the URL when it's done. http://youtu.be/FQLedWn-Z8k ...Uploading your video. 424 minutes remaining.... ...281... 81 7

Yeah. Just leave random pics of people being tortured in hi pop areas. That would creep folks out. You get beans.

I don't think you can distinguish. If I put on a hero suit what's to drop me from being a bandit? Hero, bandit, civilian, are you talking 3 pc classes? Pick a side? Now you're creating a completely different game. I think the current plan I've read about more zombie, better loot/zombie respawning scheme and server hop/combat log/ghosting plans will dynamically change the way the game is currently being played in its current bare bones buggy state. A lot of these suggestions and complaints will carry a lot more weight once it reaches beta.

I think logging in to a server should not put you in the same place you left off. Put you at spawn location for now. Until we get camps or tents or whatever it is we're getting.

Bullcrap. Not ruining game for anyone. As long as it can be done it will be done. That's the same as saying the devs are ruiningtheir game by allowing this. It's still in alpha. It's being tested and put through its paces. I expect hop looting won't be an issue in final release. Please save your complaints until then. I hate ghosters but feel confident is only temporary and not running the game (that isn't retail released yet). Also loot spawning needs fixing.

You need to starve to death I think. There's no suicide (yet?).

Because it's the best game ever. I enjoy the freedom to do anything I want. It's like a social network with violence and zombies.

I hop when I need to (bad connections, performance, etc..) . I will sometimes gear up on an empty but typically try to stay on hi pop servers as much as possible. If i die on a hi pop server AND i know it recently reset, i will stick it through and scavenge there or else I'll hit an empty server. I hate scavenging on full servers that have already been pickedclean. Seems like a waste of time just trying to find the very basics that will get me to the next location in time to search more empty houses. I've starved to death too many times to enjoy that any further. Once they redo loot spawning system, it will pretty much kill a lot of my hops. when I first started playing, it was low pop servers all the way, and a lot of hopping. I am slowly easing my way in to the desired experience, get on one server and stick it through. But there still needs to be a lot of fixes put in place such as the loot/zombie spawns, ghosting and combat logging before that dream is realized for me.

thank you thank you thank you thank you.you just made my day, beans for you.
