High quality rifle, check, accurate rifle, check, a very good scope, a pristine out the box long range 8 times scope, check, ammunition is ammunition, what are you talking about high quality?????, if your implying my ammunition is bent out of shape in some way it is not soo check, Controlling my aiming and breathing, well i cant check that one because it is currently impossible in the game, there in lies the main issue, it is bugged and it should be fixed soon.

You were not killed by the zombie buddy i can promise you that, the sound made at the end as you die is the sound of a bullet hitting you. 1000 hours so i have heard that sound on more then a few occasions.

I honestly though someone was trying to shoot me with a bow, for the first minute i was dodging and weaving everywhere, hiding in bushes until my friend said he heard some ticking sound and then i was thinking, uuhhh best not mention what i have been doing for the last minute. :D

Why would you delete your config file unless you know you edited it in some way in the past. If you really want help we would need to know about that, did you change anything in the config file or have you done anything to your dayz folder previously that a recent update might have messed with ???

This i disagree with, prime example, we held up two people in the supermarket at cherno. One had decent gear and one was a fresh spawn, the guy with decent gear listens and talks calmly back to us, we take what we need of him, the fresh spawn tries to punch me out half way through the hold up and gets shot in the head, nothing proud about that just a pathetic waste of a cherno spawn. Also the guy with gear we leave 5 sks rounds for him and we leave, do you really think the fresh spawn did better in that situation because i do not. Go loud Go stupid Get killed Waste a decent spawn

You are just unlucky but you are correct, finding a real bandit these days is hard. I am always a bandit and if people do exactly as i say they will live, we have disarmed and rearmed loads of people and they have walked away with everything they had except the stuff we wanted, i feel good when both parties live so i prefer that outcome but if you don't listen you only have yourself to blame. You can normally tell someones intention by the tone of their voice, if you feel like you are going to die anyway you may as well try and listen in my opinion, i have lived on several occasions where i may have died if i did not listen.

Once again you have posted a video that is completely unrelated to the issue people have with the new weapon sway. I am going to say this to you one more time as i have seen many people tell you and you seem to be ignoring them. You were looking at a tree 50 METERS away from you, i will reiterate one more time for you, there is no issue up to and before 300 meters, you will barely even notice the sway, the target is so large on your screen at those distances that it is a peice of cake o make those shots and you will not, like you yourself have not been noticing the terrible sway. the problem is when you are scoping from above 500 meters away and you are laying down and your target is the size of a dinner plate. You have used a splint so you know it is no issue with your apparent broken limbs. The sway is uncontrollable and you can not accurately hit targets without pure luck and hoping you pull the trigger at the right time, that is not how shooting is in real life and it should not be the way it is in game. Please dude instead of arguing about something you have clearly not even done on this game, go to the apartments above cherno, then shoot some zombies in cherno from 800 meters away, post that video please and then tell me you are happy with it. I promise you if you were to do this i would hold your opinion higher then any on this forum because then you would actually know what it is you were talking about, you could also back this up with video evidence, please go and do this for me.

Well in that case the topic should start with an unbiased thread title mosey, you know this it is common sense, why are people who dislike the new weapon sway going to click on a thread that starts with 'I LOVE THE NEW WEAPON SWAY' Why are you trying to play stupid even though you are not and pretending you don't see how this is biased and starts the discussion on an unfair footing for one side.

Lol exaclty, i made a thread about how bad the sway was and boneboys the apparent forum moderator who is supposed to unbiased and i am meant to complain to if i have issues with other moderatore puts my topic inside one that starts with 'i love the new weapon sway', what does this show you about this forum people? This topic shows you a mosin with iron sights and field of view at about half with which not many people play with (the field of view). Gibonez instead of trying to lie to people and feed them shit why dont you show the sway with a long range scope past 800 meters since that is the main issue here that people are complaining about, the sway is negligible with iron sights at best, no one has complained about the iron sights sway and yet that is the video you put up as evidence.

Hold breath only reduces the figure of eight to about half of what it is, as i said within 300 meters this will make it pretty much spot on, whats the longest distance kill you have in dayz out of interest ??? The issue here is for extremely long distances, 800 to 1000 meter shots, please go and give that a try in game and tell me that you would be unable to make that shot in real life without a massive sway. As i said in the op when you are at that distance you are trying to hit a target the size of a dinner plate, it is currently impossible.

I have actually. After i laid down for five minutes i was perfectly capable of holding my rifle pretty much still and make really accurate shots past 500 meters.

I am really finding this new weapon say is really throwing me off this game completely. I am a sucker for old weaponry and i used to love my trusty mosin Nagant, now however it has become impossible to make long distance shots without complete luck. The new sway is completely unrealistic and makes no sense at all, i never heard or read any complaints about people being killed too much by snipers. There was a balance before, if you had a mosin in close combat you were at a huge disadvantage but if you had a mosin at long distances you had the advantage, that is how it should have been yet now you can not make accurate shots with the mosin unless you are within 300 metres, past that it's anyone guess where your crosshair wants to go. Shooting someone from 900 metres was not easy before in dayz, you had to account for bullet drop and you had to account for bullet travel time, unless someone was standing still it was extremely hard but clearly not impossible to pull these shots off. Why has the dev team decided that this should now be almost impossible when no one asked them to or said that it was unbalanced. Engaging people from long distances was its own playstyle and was very fun and very challenging, there was no reason to change that. I am all for making sniping even more of a challenge but i feel it should be done by actual real life variables such as wind and rifle quality, not a huge sway figure of eight pattern that makes no sense at all, i have seen a lot of people say they have not noticed a difference but believe me the difference is real, sure its barely noticeable at 200 meters but even laying down when you are 800 meters away from your target the sway is unrealistic, at that distance you are trying to hit a dinner plate not a full sized man and i think a lot of people seem to forget this, trying to hit a dinner plate sized target with the current sway is impossible and frustrating as hell. Furthermore the one thing i liked about engaging at long distances was that i could see if my target was up to no good or if he was just a fellow survivor and i did not have to shoot most of the time, i used to love just watching people loot up having no clue i was watching them and let them go on their way, now i am forced into combat at much closer distances i am shooting a lot more people then i normally would as i just can not take the risk of losing my avatar, before i could learn a player intentions by watching them now being so close to them their intentions factor in to me shooting them a lot less as i don't feel as safe as i did before. If the intention in this new sway was to stop people killing on sight then i can safely say for me at least it has done the complete opposite, before i only used to shoot if i wanted to and now i shoot because i feel like i need to so i can be safe. Fix it please, it is broken at long distances. Would love to hear other peoples thoughts on this, do they also kill more now that they can not engage from a distance or do you now kill less? Also if your reply says use a splint, i have several times and it is not the issue. If your reply says i have not noticed, that is cool this is more for the people who have noticed, thanks for reading the post but there is no need to let us know that you have not noticed it.

Your camera man is really shaky man, were you out of breath. Nah just kidding i know its the fact that apparently everyone in chernarus is shaking like a heroin addict going cold turkey for no apparent reason except a pathetic non existent balance reason.

The south and south west are the new hotspots, also you can get a lot of action if that's your thing around vybor and the north west airfield. I must add that this is refreshing change as i am sure i am not the only one who was getting sick of berezhino and the north east airfield.
