lucid_wolf@hotmail.com 93 Posted September 20, 2012 It seems to happen every time I get shot at!! Usually I play as a lone wolf so there is a lot of silence when I play and then it happens... A shot rings out and snaps past my head and I literally jump back in my chair, not sure if it's because I haven't heard a shot in so long or it's just my reaction lol, anyone else find this happening to them as well?? 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#Sleepy 572 Posted September 20, 2012 It's like a jump scare, you're so focused on what else is going on and the constance of it. (Like birds, ocean, footsteps.) then when something new rings out like a shot and it's something you're instinctively frightened of it's bound to make you jump.

Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted September 20, 2012 That's normal, it's called shitting yourself.I actually thought you were going to moan about the vault action when you jump over stuff! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doom Guy 128 Posted September 20, 2012 I thought this was about a hacker taking over your character and making him jump around like a little girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ballistixz 12 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) a jump scare isnt a scare, its nerves. you just have bad nerves, but its normal amongst all humans unless u have nerves of steal. Edited September 22, 2012 by Ballistixz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted September 22, 2012 i don't jump out my seat but my heart rate increases, start to sweat, eyes focus... breathing gets quicker, ears prick up... and my poor mouse almost gets crushed to death! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavalin 90 Posted September 22, 2012 Yea my heart rate goes up a little, I start looking around frantically, I hide. Get cover to my back with light behind me. Palms sweat. After its all over though it hits me twice as hard if not three times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoBo (DayZ) 1 Posted September 22, 2012 That happened a lot to me when I began playing. Panic, increased heart rate, ect.I'm finding that the more you play the less immersed you become in the environment.I really hope that immersion is high on rockets list of things to add/improve in the stand alone. It has got to be one of my favorite parts of this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
