The feeling when you almost die

[Felkin]

The feeling when you almost die... Just had that Thought it would be easy to build a bunch of signs around myself and a boulder and shoot at some Mouflons. Oh how wrong I was...
I shoot the first stone and right after one instanly got through and started hitting me. I tried to kill it with my sling *my UA and knowledge of skills are blaaah*. Apcourse it broke through my armor and so I couldnt aim anymore. Only one option : run.

So I ran, ran as fast as I possibly could. Started feeling the adrenaline push. I keep running into a random direction and by the time im at half health a lag spike hits ,once its gone im at 20 hp XD I keep running and suddenly reach a small pavement - instanly rejoiced and put on sprint. But eh.... I was already too low stamina for that. So I kept running up the pavement and instantly saw my one escape route : a timber house.

I knew what was gona happen : the timber was claimed and I didnt have CA on..... Knew its gona be a bloody 4 seconds to turn that shit on and run in. First press fails O.O ,second one : SUCCESS. I run into the yard ,sprint throught the boxes and as I'm standing 5 tiles away from the door I can see my health is only 6 bloody SHP

BUT I MAKE IT.

When I entered the house I examined my physical situation : heart pounding like hell, shivers like not in a loooong time..... That hearthling has alot of LP and FEPs in him. Lossing him woulda been awful so you can imagine the feeling...

These moments show how powerful permadeath is and how much it changes the entire gameplay... Just wow.... My very first HH death happened when trying to pick an auchorns hair from water afterall... Im never attacking heirds ever again.... EVER.....

It does give a bit of the feeling that your own life was on the line, doesn't it?

you know nothing of adrenaline rush when it's another player, trust me, when you're on a pretty newby character and someone leaps into a river and aggros you halfway across, your pants just fill right on up with turd, but when you escape after a chase it's almost euphoric

Just a couple tips that might help in the future... use ctrl+g to shot the grid and make sure there is no way the animals can get to you. Also, always remember that the hotkey for criminal acts is a -> r. That can save your life (especially if you don't have it in the hotbar).

But yeah, the feeling that you are going to die in this game really gets your heart racing. I have only felt like that 3 times so far... (2 of which I actually died).

So I'm not the only one who gets like this. Haha.

I've rarely gotten that feel, all my deathes have been while offline, except for a bear death and that wasn't very exciting, I didn't think I was going to die even when I was ko'd til it hit through my armor for 600.

my most recent death was 30 minutes of my body pumping adrenaline into me.
dat feel, yo

Exactly!

I got that feeling when a boar spawned in my base and I was playing on lap that needed 15 minutes to heat up res file lol. (sic!)
In the end I just got KO'ed but that was close.

That besides numerous fails on hunting.
At last, may you die you at least get to find out what you did wrong and come back stronger.

This morning I got mauled by a bear. Luckily he just KO'ed me and then walked away.
I hate when I get that cold sweat and chills ...
