-MadTommy 367 Posted July 20, 2012 As a lone survivor the game has amazing amount of tension causing me to become a paranoid nervous wreck. I think i like it :rolleyes:I've become a good survivor.. I can get well geared up pretty easily and am a force to be reckoned with. Right now i have an M14 & M249 both with plenty of ammo, NVGs and everything else a survivor needs... but i'm still so bloody scared. I'm not scared of loosing my gear.. i'm just scared.. thinking i'm gonna be ambushed constantly.. creeping around snarling infected gives me goose bumps & the hairs on the back of neck stand up...I'm turning into a complete nervous wreck. The game has become a roller coater of an anxiety trip for me.I have never been so affected by a game before, ever. Hats of to Rocket.. its bloody epic. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh225 129 Posted July 20, 2012 This is the only game that i have ever had to take regular breaks from, i just need to stop for a few minutes to gather myself. Game plays on paranoia really really well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sibexus 26 Posted July 20, 2012 I agree, last night I was creeping out of cherno with a full pack of goodies when two guys ran past dragging a bunch of zeds behind them. They literally ran right over me while I was prone in a bush and didn't see me. Made the adrenaline rush. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HalloweeNGT 23 Posted July 20, 2012 Indeed, i felt the same for many days till I started dieing only from bugs and hackers and not by zombies/players, in that moment the game looses all the feeling and remains a shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkmintz 28 Posted July 20, 2012 Agreed, as a solo player its a very tense, slow affair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoshDosh 62 Posted July 20, 2012 The ironic part is that once you start losing that sense of paranoia is around the same time you'll get shot in the back from a distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noobfun 87 Posted July 20, 2012 haha possibly me and my friend.. not shoot on sight players, what guns where we carrying..??and if you notice theres less of that feeling with a friend around you.... yeah the feeling of saftey in numbers, makes you sloppy sometimes, you tend to fire a lot more ... those are the kinds of people i like to find wondering around the wilds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noobfun 87 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) few days ago i was runnign my usual helicopter run, adn get to the edge of a field id run across a bunch of times (next to the petrol station at west of gorka, scan the trees and fields cant see anything but suddenly get very edgy and scared, so im sat there in some trees constantly scanning, no Z's at petrol station none at polana but im just freaking out and wont move out of the tree line(sat there for just over 30 minutes), then i realsie the petrol stations got some troll roll (barbwire) placed right through the front door that wasnt there yesterday(same server)couldnt shake the feeling of paranoia after that so worked my way to over looking 'factory' to check for any peeps then logged, just needed a break couldnt function well my paranoia (nearly snap fired at a goat that walked over the crest of a hill) Edited July 20, 2012 by stuffnthings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sibexus 26 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) (nearly snap fired at a goat that walked over the crest of a hill)I did that while playing at night going from deer stand to deer stand. Ran up on a goat and literally jumped in my seat, twitched so bad my headset fell off. Edited July 21, 2012 by Sibexus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-MadTommy 367 Posted July 21, 2012 I logged in recently in a thicket about 800m from Stary Sobor... it was dark, i turned on my NVGs... I knew i was in a dangerous area, the server was full, so i sat there and listened and watched out for any bandits/survivors close to me.. i kept on hearing those little cracks and russel of branches.. I was crippled with paranoia, convinced there others only feet from me in the bushes.. i spent about an hour travelling about 200m and achieving nothing, I actually enjoyed it.. but all i did was crawl from bush to bush stopping and listening & watching for others. I was not waiting in ambush.. All i wanted to do was get to a safe area..but nowhere felt safe.. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disgraced 1123 Posted July 21, 2012 Thunder. It's funny, sometimes I'm running through a forest or wherever... A d the thunder startles me. Too keyed up listening for gun shots. I was literally on an empty server yesterday and still as I ran through the woods, I was alt-looking over my shoulder as I ran through the woods at the north end of the map.

sibexus 26 Posted July 22, 2012 So I was crouch running through the forest heading north with a rifle in my hands, the sun was in just the right position... A shadow of my self was cast ahead and to the right of me... For an instant it looked like another player was running to intercept me, also with a rifle. *Twitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
