Proper Gander

How about they reskin server hoppers in a huge rabbit suit and replace their loot with carrots. When you kill them, you get fresh rabbit and carrots for a stew.

Perhaps there should be items required to server hop and be a loot farmer (thinking overalls, straw hat, and hoe). This could then aid in the identification and disposal of these greedy little piggies.

Your "zoom" is actually 1x magnification. The default view is actually "zoomed out" less than 1x in order to give you a larger FOV.

Yes, "bionic eye" that zooms to 1x magnification.

Really, what more do you want? This is supposed to be a survival game. Go survive.

At least it was only 1:45 that I would have wasted elsewhere on the Internet.

It depends on the kind of movies that you are talking about; the adult movie industry has a whole genre dedicated to POV films. Of course in that industry few people would say that POV is more 'hardcore' that the traditional 3rd person films.

Therein lies the rub... you really can't. But some people use the same name on their Steam accounts and in-game, and it might be nice to develop a thread that calls them out here on the forums. Sort of like a wall of shame. As for the "low ping," yeah, that is always possible. But if you really look at the sheer number of people who are on for less than 5 minutes (many who are on for just a minute or less), I think that it is fairly safe to assume that these people are server-hopping loot farmers.

While I get your point on being able to "observe the area" before entering it, nobody is forced to "rush" into an area without any kind of proper reconnaissance. And I don't know how many fresh spawns will be finding binos before gearing up anyway. So maybe it would be a "game changer" for players who currently run around with reckless abandon, but it will probably just be another useful tool for all the others.

While I relish the back story, I am interested in the demographics of our formerly war torn nation because this should be an indication of how many infected should be roaming the map and how much survival gear should be available.

While I really want the capabilities that a pair of binos have to offer, I am not sure that they will be a real "game changer."

Don't have an answer to your question, but I will remember this lesson in the future.

Quite simple, really (especially if you are on a single server for long periods of time): look at your Steam friends list and the "recently played with" tab; anyone on this list for less than 5 minutes is a server hopper.

I suggest a 30 minute timer to join a new server with your avatar standing stationary with a bat signal. That way you can still server hop and I can enjoy my single server non-hopping experience.

I play both. However, I find myself playing 1st person in regular more than 3rd person. I have just gotten used to it from HC.
