Ok, how do you turn it on?

I was on that server, also. That was lame... While my character was restored later, my friends were not. http://youtu.be/x_xJ5hTwUCg

I can't find any definitive info on the persistence. Is persistence turned by default on servers?

Its now happened twice to a few of my clan mates, just today. Different servers.

sure, here's a clip I recorded immediately after it happened. http://youtu.be/x_xJ5hTwUCg

Stable. yes, most were AI clones. I heard the guy say "everyone pose for a photo", and "sorry, this is what happens to streamers"

so, what do I do about hackers on my server? Its only been active a week or so, and I heard someone pulled the "respawn everyone as a bambi group" hack. What's the best practice for response to incidents?

I was on a full pop server with my friends and this happened. Everyone got teleported to bridge as a fresh spawn. My gear was retained after connecting to another server, but my friends lost their gear... Why can't hackers just play in their own sandbox, instead of corrupting the game globally? Dicks.

Whats up w/ the sound when running crouched? That shit makes it completely annoying to crouch , now

I'd like to purchase hosting in Seattle for a DayZ server. Who would you suggest?

Ok, so Gaming Deluxe sounds good, but I'm trying to buy a server in Seattle, they only show NY and Dallas... who is best for NorthWest servers? Or, would dallas be fast??

..and THIS is what I was afraid of.

I don't see hackers normally. Only when I got to high pop servers, and even then, It's rare.

Would anyone be interested in organizing a large scale battle?

Exactly!

I can see that the troll is strong with some of you, so maybe I need to be more articulate. What I'm asking for is some scrap between a couple groups of 10 to 20 players, ideally fighting over territory or resources. I'm not suggesting an allout military campaign. like ArmaII as you suggest. I'm suggesting a group scrap in this game... (?) That means it'd be an chaotic mess of blood, torn flannel shirts and pokadot bandanas, potatoes flying and who knows what else. There are a lot of scenarios that i can think of where two large groups would battle in this environment. I think that the more melee battle the better. I guess it's sounding more like a bad idea now, but thanks for your input.

Its not really clear to me what you're experiencing based on the OP. I don't think they run 100 MPH. Hopper zombies are faster, but once they catch up to you, they move a standard rate and are easy to dispose of if you practice a little. I don't know what game you're playing, because it doesn't sound right. I can outrun zombies easily, because they give up after a couple hundred yards. Stand around, and expect problems. I haven't seen 10 zombies (although I wish did) in a group. I think you're exaggerating, and I don't understand the purpose of this post. I'm curious to know.

Early this morning, all servers were down for maintenance except for one or two, which everyone was playing on. The server which was active was not spawning items, and we were all fresh spawns. We all met up and went picking apples to survive and performed some gang beatdowns on Zombies. It was quite fun. Today, my character is back. No, no wipe yet but they have warned that it is planned.

Have you ever played poker? Its good to question someone's intent and truthfulness of action.

It seems that hip fire is use to be more accurate than it is now. I probably shoot from the hip 50% of the time. Its effective, if you can spend a few extra rounds. I find it's most effective when walking, not winded. If i'm shooting from the hip, I'm in third person. Although, I've been using third person a lot less lately because I feel it takes away from the immerse quality of the game and actually makes combat more detached and difficult. I find that even though i can see more of my immediate surroundings, I'm not focused on my field of vision like I would be in first person.

Yeah, I noticed that, also. I think players like that can eat fat one, because they really degrade the gaming experience for everyone.

thanks for sharing, man. Really cool.

On my hardcore character, I have a legit m4 and I HAD some couple mags which were legit as well as other 30 and 40 round mags. Those and all my ammo in my ammo box was deleted. Now my character has a gun with no ammo or magazines.

if (irritated with the coast) { Move somewhere else; }

I'd love to hear the story!
