I may join ya. The sens is abominable.

2 steps forward, 1 step backward. A phrase i have come to know all too well since i started playing DayZ. I have been playing since around 1.06. Racked up well over 1000 hours in game, and have watched as much. In all that time I have never found a bug or feature that has pissed me off the way this update has. This is EASILY the WORST UPDATE they have ever released. For anybody wondering why their sensitivity is not being adjusted, It's because the option to adjust your actual x and y sensitivity has been completely REMOVED. Thats right. They did away with being able to adjust your sensitivity altogether, and replaced it with dead zones. The "Movement" sliders are the dead zones for the left stick, and the "Camera" sliders are the dead zones for the right stick. So why then is it listed under sensitivity? When i found that out, I wanted to puke. I had to dig for this information. I dont understand why such a drastic change has not been explained by anybody at BI, or any major content creators that often cover the new updates and changes, like marks, or Wobo. Infuriating. What is the point in adding any content to the game when not only do the base mechanics sometimes suck, you just made them WORSE! It's actually the exact opposite of what we needed. What we needed was the ability to adjust your sensitivity HIGHER, while also being able to adjust dead zones. There was no need to dumb it down. And then there's the issue with sprinting and zooming. It's something like your zoomed in, then you try to sprint, and the character sprints for a fraction of a second, then goes back to jogging. Its like a stutter. Back in 1.16 when you did this, pressing the sprint button canceled zoom. CQB has been made so much more difficult, because it takes longer to turn. Forget about clearing a whole building, or even just one room. You may as well already be dead. Developers love to give console players handicaps, and slow down our gameplay. From a backseat perspective, Pc gameplay has always looked more appealing than console. It's true for just about any game, but especially Dayz. But Im not referring to frame rates, sure they help, but im referring to the lightning fast reaction times that many Pc players possess. But it's not that we cant play at that we CANT play at the level. They WONT ALLOW us to. It's bullshit. Maybe you dont support being able to do several 360's within half a second. Maybe at some point, a high sensitivity is too unrealistic, and maybe shouldn't be in the game. I would agree in that it is unrealistic. However, we are nowhere near that point right now. The current state of sensitivity in console dayz is abominable, and to a chuck of an already small community, unplayable. And I saw some guy in the forum reply to somebody that complained about the sens, and said something like "well were fine on xbox, you must be on playstation". Thats bullshit. I play on Xbox. This user put Zero iQ on full display. Because it's not a bug thats affecting a few players here and there. It is a FEATURE in the game that affects everybody.
