What have you experienced in PE?

In my opinion, PE is unique from many games in a way that you are far more tied to your avatar. It makes PE to feel more, it creates more emotional attaching to things. In many other games you have multiple avatars and one single avatar means much less. In PE its more like that you are your avatar. Also all avatars in PE are unique instead of having face and body selected from 10 possible ones (like it tends to be in AO for example).

Clearly people have different views of this. For some avatars in PE are more like tokens in computer game, for some others (for me) there is always a real person behind every avatar. I think we all have seen how strongly PE players averagely react to things though.

So as I happened to see a psychologists list of emotions I though to make a gallup of what people have experienced in PE. Personally I have experienced pretty much whole spectrum of emotions - I guess its just what attracts me in PE. What are your experiences?

For reference:
Angry - bitter, furious, hateful, jealous
Confident - interested, ambitious, brave, calm, determined, proud, enthusiastic
Doubtful - bored, cautious, confused, distant, skeptical
Happy - cheerful, comfortable, optimistic, pleased
Hurt - abandoned, heartbroken, offended, shocked
Irritated - annoyed, frustrated, provoked, upset
Sad - depressed, hopeless, lonely, pessimistic
Shamed - embarrassed, humiliated
Loving - adoring, affectionate, passionate
Afraid - abandoned, anxious, concerned, desperate, fearful, hesitant, nervous

For me the MOST important thing in a game is the feeling I get ,after that it comes graphics , sound ,etc.
I’ve experienced pretty much all of the above emotions , some more , some less.This does make PE more unique than other games along with the money issue which is related to the feeling the game gives IMO :cowboy:

Hehe. Ummm… good question.

How about … confusion and pain? :smiley:

No, seriously, I don’t think I’ve been hurt, except by scammers in my earlier days…
I actually feel very little attachment towards my avatar, although I gave him my name “maniac”. Yet, in other games I feel a lot more. PE is the best RPG i play graphics-wise. My guy seems so independant, so 3D… leading a very… solid virtual life.

Death comes at no skill cost. Skill loss is one of my worst pains in other games. In PE I know that I can’t drown, can’t fall down and hurt myself, my little man will always be okay. Like those clay figures from the Neverhood quest. :cool:

Scared? Bah. After playing all Doom, Quake, Half-Life mods - you don’t get scared anymore… :wise: Atroxes - bah…

Happy? Yes. People I met ingame made me very happy. People I met in most other games - never wanted to meet IRL. People in PE - are real people. That is good. PE is also a game for the rich, interesting people, who like to travel, read, and lead philosophical discussions, not some loser geeks, sitting in a little dark room in grandpa’s old house.

Loving? Well, I chose loving only because it included “passionate” in its description. Passion? Yes. Yes! Passion is when I am grabbing hold of my gun and running forward, kicking the shit out of those allophyls and troxes. Passion of HOF and passion of the kill! Moments like that are cool.
Still, as a shooter, PE is rather rudimentary. They have a looong way to go to be impressive as a 3D shooter.

PE never made me sad for real. If I have a problem in PE that I want to go away - I just hit escape.

PE still has best players around. Unfortunately PE tends to make even best persons complete idiots time to time. People react very emotionally and forget everything else. Many do seem to regret afterwards their behavior. (Just how many times someone has posted bitter quitting thread when getting locked and then came back apologizing when getting unlocked?)

Best things still in PE have something to do with other people and I love the way that there is no money or skills involved in chatting and socializing. (We dont buy social features, skill them etc.)

Angry: When people treat others unfair mostly. specially if there’s nothing I can do about it. Im rarely angry but it have happened.

Confident: Euhm most of those who’ve met me ingame could notice that behaviour all the time almost. Eheheh. Kinda weird, Im totally opposite irl!

Doubtful: almost always in discussions.

Happy: ask anyone :stuck_out_tongue:

Hurt: sometimes. If I dont feel appreciated for my work or just for me.

Irritated: in discussions again.

Sad: When Im not belived or not accepted, or appreciated again.

Shamed: Skam means shame. Im always ashamed.

Loving: most of the time. I care alot. More then whats healthy acctually.

Afraid: not often but happens. If someone gave me something valueable to hold I get really scared for a bug happening to me or something that means Im loosing their stuff.

i experience all of these emotions. all while on hunts too. ill even put them in order for you.

Happy - I have 100ped to buy ammo with!

Confident - I’ll forsure loot an item. Maybe even a hof!

Irritated - 50 ped gone, and still no item. Maybe I should hunt something smaller.

Shamed - I have to hunt exarosaurs

Doubtful - Still no Item looted yet. Why do I spend money on this game.

Afraid - What the heck is that Neconu doing here

Angry - 5 ped left. This is it, last of the ammo, It’s hoftime. It better be. Frickin.

Hurt - Why MA why? Havent I been good? Didnt I deposit like you asked?

Sad - This month I chose to deposit instead of paying my cable TV bill.. Now I have no PED and I cant even watch TV to cheer me up.

Loving .. ..

Oops I forgot this one. I guess when MA gave me TWO christmas flowers and no gnome.

Nah, my 650ped combibo mature of course.

Me too since every else…

Angry: Sadly only players make me angry. No bug or anything can me as angry as ignorant or rude people. Lately I havent seen any bad cases in PE - mostly I see them in forums. I read something that makes me mad for hours, sometimes even for days.

Confident: Im kind of proud being successful in PE. Confident too that I can adapt what ever happens in game.

Doubtful: This is me 24/7 with people.

Happy: Of course hofs and such makes me smile like nuts but at simpliest it can be just right person saying “Hi :-)”.

Hurt: Too many times. When my first really good friend quit PE by saying “brb” and logged out (sent short email that she quit) I sat night at bathroom floor crying.

Irritated: Lag, dissynch, ctd, disconnection and then lag again :slight_smile:

Sad: Way too often too. Rarely because of the game though.

Shamed: “Its just a noob girl” was something I heard quite often when I started. Dont hear it anymore… But I still get embarrassed dying while hunting or missing shots when someone is at radar range…

Loving: Dear people, some crushes, steamy pming. I think I would hardly play any 3D shooting game for a year but I might chat with people for years (hmm.. done that already). Some crushes that make me draw hearts to post-it stickers I keep around my desk etc :o:

Afraid: Afraid of lots of things. When you think you got a lot, you got a lot to lose.

Never regretted anything i did or said in PE.

In PE I act in character of Konrad Knox - he is a horny cynical bastard.
Can’t get more sincere than that.
