Strange Shift-Z world!

[MrDummy]

When the Shift-z is succesfully activated, no players are visible. Good.

But just outside Roumen city, i see a big mass Slimes.
I discovered many slimes are already dead. But why don't they die and remove? Because there is "nobody" who killed them. Even you see loot falling down.

Thanks to strange mode of shift-z, i have many slimes on the screen who don't go away because they have already no more HP.

This makes me difficult which i must attack which has still fresh HP bar.
Another risk is loot taking. You don't see nobody, but the loot is visible. You should think, lets take it. The chance of loot stealing without knowing it is bigger.

The problem "slime-goes-never-away" in shift-z world is very strange.
Thus i call it as a gamebug. They must gone if they are already killed, not keep alive in the game. I see it happens to all mobs who never removed after kill. Because the hits are no more registered by players in shift-z world, after some time, the area is full of dead mobs, but looks alive and keep filled with respawns. Whoa, really wrong!

Completely remove ALL players is bad idea for me. Make it more very small range around you, so you can see what is going on. It's better to keep some players around you visibible to prevent misunderstandings, also why some players talk to you, even you don't see around you. Does that not feel strange?

Some players don't want turn all visible, or the computer slows very down, especially in city areas. Very short view range is good balance for it. It's still light enough with short range. Good point is also you can visit player-shops and buy something.

My advice: reduce the range, not full remove. Party members are always full range visible, because you need them or heal them.

And also, make sure remove all dead mobs! This is just wrong. :(

Edit:
Even more: the chat is also stopped, because the chat of players are also not registered. They're really gone! Wow.

You can confirm yourself very easy:

- activate shift-z to remove all players
- walk to area with high mobs respawn
- wait for long time in same area, don't fight them
- you can count too much mobs spawned around you, but you shall see most has no more HP. But they're not removed, they stay in the game.
- it's more and more crowned, with the risk the game kills your good gameplay. And perhaps, the game can crash because too many mobs loaded in the game.

As a result to the game bug, the fact that all players traffic are shut down (no hitting recording, no chat traffic recorded), the mobs are not automatically removed, because they don't die or vanish in front of your eyes.

The bad thing is: with many mobs, your pc is now more slowing down. Shift-Z has a reason to make play lighter, but thanks to the bug (forgotten player traffic) the client cannot remove dead mobs or animate them as "falling dead". Finally, it's more useless...

And that is just stupid fault from the game programming. Player traffic may not removed or shut down. Only graphical part must only removed.

But for me, a very low range around you is better, so you can see what is going on. About "10-20 yards" range is far enough.

And the graphic settings: LOD distance don't help much against many players.
Only Backgrounds reduce the view range, and can make it lighter. But you miss the great view.
Turn the dynamic shadow off, because it use more cpu power.

Shift+z is only good when you really need to move through a town/city but can't. Roumen is a very good example. The chat in roumen does dissappear completely, cept for whispers. In elderine, you will hear shouts.

I've seen this problem myself. I hit Shift-Z, entered my mushroom house, then went afk for about 20 minutes. I was right at the border between Roumen town and the forest. When I came back, there was a sea of slimes, All hopping up and down, all making their little squeaky noise, but I had no way to tell which one was real!
