Is it possible for you to make a post not full of poison and insults?

I have repeatedly hit both zombies, deer, and a few players at around 300m with the mosin and LRS, using hold breath. It is definitly a little harder, but at that distance not too bad. No reason to be insulting in your post

You are right that trying to make a 800m shot with the current sway is probably next to impossible, but unless our Dayz characters are suppose to be trained snipers, they shouldnt be making 800m shots with a mosin, and certainly not with out a bipod or from some position where you can support the rifle. So i dont have a problem with it all. I am of the opinion that without a modern mil spec rifle, firing from a supported position, 800 -1000m shots should be next to impossible. But maybe that is just me.

Are you using hold breath? I have mine rebound from right mouse and it definitely helps. While prone and after a bit to rest after a run, i can get the mosin sway to be pretty minimal with hold breath. Personally i love the new sway. As a Texan who regularly shoots rifles, and who has never had any formal training, holding a heavy rifle still is hard, very hard. So making long shots is now much harder, but certainly not impossible, and too me, thats a good thing.

No reservations at all. Dayz is amazing right now and will only get better by the end of the year. Ill be one of first looking at whatever he moves onto, and if Dean's history is anything to go by, ill be buying and loving whatever else he makes as well.

I believe until a server restart

What is the point of a post like this? or this thread for that matter? You haven't contributed anything constructive to the development of the game with this thread.

Its also possible for someone to share some of his ideas. And while we may not know exactly what Dean's vision is for the game, im assuming he has something along those lines, and frankly Dean can make the game however he wishes, and if that mean conforming to some vision of his, that's fine with me. If it means he puts something or changes something I don't want, then maybe ill post something constructive to discuss it. But its not my decision, it is Dean's. If you don't like it, then don't play it.

Yeah, this seems to happen all the time to me as well, but for a me a workaround is to always empty boxes of ammo in a section of my inventory with no sacks of ammo. For example, I move my stacks of ammo up to my shirt and vest, and make sure to only empty boxes out in my backpack. This seems to avoid the bug.

I found one yesterday in a hanger. Incredibly rare, imo probably the rarest item in game right now with the possible exception of the press vest, but they are still spawning.

yeah hopping is something that will always exist is my opinion, but I have noticed the timers seems to be doing a decent job of eliminating combat logging/ghosting. Ghosting is still somewhat possible but difficult to do, and combat logging is often suicide. In my opinion, these were much greater issues than server hopping, because without respawning loot, server hopping is very high right now.

And their damage values for most weapons seem way off. Mosin does 200 damage to health? That doesn't make much sense. Im beginning to wonder if most of their info isn't just made up.

So daydb has posted a new SA item database that includes values such as Armor(Bleed), Armor(shock), and Armor(ballistic). At a glance the values look to make sense, but I have no idea where they are getting their numbers. Are their numbers pulled from the files? Can anyone (hopefully a dev) shed any light on these values? Here is a link to the database in question: http://dayzdb.com/items Search for common clothing such as tact shirts, TTSKO Jacket and the vests, they have interesting values for armor. Just looking for some insight and to see what you guys think.

I must have good internet or something cause I have yet to die to a fall or a ladder, and I have yet to run down stairs and break my leg in the new patch.

Server hopping should also hopefully go down once respawning loot is added. Thats why alot of people hop, cause it can be a little annoying to log into a server and go to 3 empty towns in row.
