InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Everywhere I go there are people trying to kill me. Outside some apartments in Cherno, on snipers' hill in Elektro, the top deck of the ship. I thought if there was anywhere I would be safe, it was here. So, I opened the door and walked right in, but was careful to close it behind me. As I turned around, "bang" said my roommate holding his hand out like a gun. He did not understand why I kept saying, "That is not even funny, I have had people after me all day, holy shit man."It is already bad enough that I feel like I should sneak through the grocery while shopping. Now I cannot even walk in my own house without feeling jumpy.Edit for clarity: I was not playing DayZ when this happened. I was walking into my house, I had stopped playing some 45 mins earlier and it still scared the shi~! Out of me.

Zarniwoop 1193 Posted January 31, 2014 Had the same done to me! :rolleyes: It was a tense moment too when I was hiding from some bandits. Sometimes when I walk down a street late at night and hear a car coming I sometimes think: "Hide! Quick get behind that wall so he doesn't see you!" I then remember and feel embaraced and a bit silly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayy 173 Posted January 31, 2014 I think you may have a bit of a psychological problem... Then again, all of us do :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 31, 2014 I think you may have a bit of a psychological problem... Then again, all of us do :)My Cognitive Psychology professor suggested something very similar. I would paraphrase him as saying "abnormal brain functionality".Thanks for noticing though. It makes me feel special when people see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenmai 9 Posted January 31, 2014 For me the beauty of DayZ is that you get these strong emotions, when you take those away it's just a boring running and looting sim with a tiny bit of human interaction. I'm glad I still get excited when I get in a gunfight or see a group of ppl from a distance and I'll regret the day when I'll lose that feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 31, 2014 does that mean im as smart as a psychology teacher?I can neither confirm nor deny this. Just because you have sat on the ground does not make you as dumb as a rock. Likewise, just because one is a Psychology teacher does not mean they are some sort of genious. Theoretically, you could have a degree in education maybe a minor in psychology and you could teach at high school level. Completing an undergrad degree is more about doing what your told than an indication of your intelligence. Aside from the fact that I am not sure what the arbitrary bar you have set as "smart as a pschology teacher," I really have no measure of how smart you are.

Then all you have for company is the echo of your own footsteps and the occasional growl from your real 'friends'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 31, 2014 Simple. Get off the regular servers and play Hardcore at night. Then all you have for company is the echo of your own footsteps and the occasional growl from your real 'friends'.I play from 9am - 2pm PST, I was on the lowest ping Hardcore server today. It was daytime, there was six people max, about 2 people on average. Playing at night it makes no difference if on reg or hard cannot see anything either way, of course my battery died on my flashlight so I just dropped it, last night time I was just feeling my way around in the dark. Run from zombies, they seem easier to lose at night, but impossible to kill without some sort of light or literally spray and pray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
