My ping was fine, I was playing with a friend and we both kept getting kicked. And on the last server, I saw the server get spammed with "X got kicked" until I got kicked. Tried to rejoin (with only 1 person (the kicker) in the server) and kept getting kicked.

Was just on a populated server (20+) and got a good 20minutes until suddenly everyone got kicked off. Ruining the game. There should be some sort of kick limit or rules in place to prevent this?

loot farming?

Not sure if it's bugged, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I've logged in using that theory and the servers were still night.

Sometimes you lose connection to a server and have to choose a new one, only to find out you have to start all over again.

I get lagged (red chain) symbol and then I die. There are no zombies (playing with a friend to verify), but when I change servers and log back in, I'm dead. Sucks.

This could be one way to make "death" a little more interesting. If you don't cure yourself in time, you'd go into Zombie mode until someone killed you or you chose to respawn (making it optional in that way). Adding the possibility of someone being able to cure you (ressurection) even too.

Agree with OP. Only problem is that it's probably impossible to do? Limiting which software users could run could be worked around by players. Unless there's some way to make it that every time someone uses their microphone, it also makes them auto speak in the game. Not sure that would work either, but would love if people had to communicate in game only.

The game is about surviving. I think it's awesome that players can kill you, it adds tension to the game. Remember: This is a VIDEO GAME. When you die, you're not really dead. You're still alive in the real world. If someone kills you, it means you lost the game (the object being to survive). It's like saying if someone beat you in chess, that they griefed you. Griefing is supposed to mean disrupting the normal game to ruin it for others with stuff like spamming, cheating, etc... not killing you. People who call this stuff "griefing" are responsible for ruining the current MMO market. Day Z feels very old school, I love it.
