Etherimp

I have hardcore clips also.. Go check out my "Etherimps streaming video topic" thread... There's about 3-4 good hardcore ones in there.

He had a blaze, also, but he fired the blaze shots early on, and the rest of his mosin ammo was ruined, so he went into desperation mode. Don't ask me why he didn't try to use the blaze first instead of the sporter though.

I've learned something from recording all of my encounters... and that is that I get a little worked up in situations like this. I'm normally such a nice guy, but when someone fucks with me I talk a LOT of shit. That said... They usually deserve it. ;)

These may take some patience to get through, as they have lulls in action, but I feel they're worth it. 3 SKS shots + A stun Baton http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5152941 Oh Elektro, how I missed you. (Sporter .22 kill) http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5153024 Making friends in Elektro http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5153083 Come check out my stream and youtube! More great DayZ content on the horizon.

http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5398240 *facepalm* You guys gotta see this one..

Reddit discussion: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2fw9oc/anyone_successfully_rabbit_hunt/

1. FOV maxed out in SA... bad. 2. Firing from 3rd person... bad. 3. The kills weren't really impressive. 4. Shit talking someone calling them a "Nerd"... Are you a teenager by chance? 15-17? 'cause that's who does that.

This is what I carry on my key ring. Technically it's 2 tools...

A few things... 1. And I know this one has already been talked about: Footwear degrades MUCH too quickly. 2. Server crashes are very very very frustrating and make it very difficult to get anything done. Every 15-45 minutes it seems like servers are going down. I check the server list for experimental and I don't see a single one that's past 10:00.. All are 9:00 -> 9:45 (last I checked) 3. Client crashes... Repeatedly.. Someone said something about this being related to shadows and that disabling shadows fixes it. I have tried disabling shadows and still get client crashes. General bugginess and incomplete features or frustrating survival elements I can handle.. but server crashing is a huge issue that I hope is addressed before pushing to stable. Currently both Stable and Experimental builds have server crashes, which makes it difficult to play a full session.

Did you have a LRS? ...Cause I found a tent with a rope, a LRS, and some random other items in it (food etc).. There were 3 tents total. I took some food, LRS, and a rope.

Hoff is on the verge of death from starvation, and I go all M.D. on his ass. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5323404 I catch someone farming/cycling loot at Veresnik military base on experimental... http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5323456 A little game of cat and mouse http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5333016 He's comin' right for us, Ned! http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5333062 We have that Ebola problem solved. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5333111

I have interactions all of the time.. If you're not having them it's because you're not allowing it to happen.

The craziest thing about all of this is that it was all on the same character in 1 session.. so in a matter of a few hours, I got like 4 shotgun kills. The fact that the guy I let go was the guy that fired at me later just made it all the sweeter.. I dunno if he intentionally tracked me, or if we just crossed paths again, but I have a feeling he was following me, because of how sketchy he was in telling me he was going to meet up with his friends, and saying how he was going south, etc..

I shoot a player in the ass at Stary Sobor, break his legs, and he immediately surrenders... so we patch him up and send him on his way. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5302372 Hoff and I ambush a server hopper/combat logger at Veresnik military base. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5302444

Here's a serious post, and an angle I'm not seeing anyone take on this yet... It's actually easier to play a hero on 3pp servers, because you can hold people up easier, which means it's easier to control the situation (greater situational awareness). It's safer to stand behind a wall and talk to someone and see their body-language and whether or not they've actually lowered their weapon... This means you can actually go out of your way to talk to more players rather than either avoiding them or killing them or having them kill you. Not saying 3pp or 1pp is better.. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Just saying this particular aspect is easier, and that's a positive in my book.

Sounds like something I used to say in the mod.. "There are no owners in DayZ, only users."

1. Practice PVP in other First Person shooters... The problem with this, is that while you can hone your shooter skills, you may or may not deal with the nerves. When I played Quake II, and CS competitively, I would get jitters when playing Scrimmages against good clans.. and then that went a way a bit, and I got jitters when I played in League/Ladder matches... then that went away a bit, and I would get jitters on LAN.. Why? Because I MENTALLY felt that those "settings" were higher-stakes.. I had more to prove. I would also get jitters in WOW when dueling against someone who I had a beef with.. or I would get jitters in Arena matches against really high ranked players or people who I knew and was competitive with.. so.. 2. Put yourself in stressful situations, and when you notice you're starting to get jitters/shakes, do the following -Breath. In. Out. In. Out. Slow your breath, slow your mind, slow your heart-rate.. -Remind yourself that the jitters/adrenaline is your fight or flight response kicking in, and that you have nothing to fear. Because... I will not fear Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain The person shooting at you is just another human being.. someone sitting behind their computer.. They have a heart, a brain, blood pumping through their veins, and their ability to kill you in a game is completely dependent upon their wits versus yours. Are you going to let that other person beat you in that contest of wits? How dare they challenge you.. How dare they disrespect you. How dare they risk your life.

I didn't either... until this thread. :D

First... A hardcore clip of what to do when someone is NOT friendly. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5279783 Second... 50 minutes of footage, from meeting up with friendlies in Svet, to eventually being betrayed by one of them.. This guy played the long game. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5279820

The story of my shotgun... All 3 of these encounters happened in 1 life, between 2 nights of streaming.. First, I get attacked shortly after spawning by a man with an axe who pretended he was friendly earlier.. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5239663 Then I witness a murder, and avenge the survivors death, but I let 1 guy go. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5239693 And finally, the guy I let go came back to haunt me, so I had to ghost him. http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp/c/5239726

Best part of thread was Mitch Hedberg. Perhaps we should start posting Mitch Hedberg bits in all of these threads so that they aren't a complete waste of space.

Going live over at http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp Fresh spawn, on the coast, 3pp..

Sunlight (Forest colder than fields. Clouds mean something) Elevation (Mountains colder than coast) Wetness (Being dry > being wet) Clothing (heavier clothing = warmer) I think there's another factor I'm forgetting.. But yes, fires warm you up and dry you off.
