Dslyecxi: It took me a lot of playing Day Z to psych myself up to kill another player. Because I’m so used to playing with that mentality of, I don’t ever want to spoil anyone in ShackTac‘s fun. We go a long way to prevent that from happening. To get into this environment where there’s all these random people trying to kill you, and where you may get the jump on them and you may have a chance to unfairly kill them, making that mental leap is really tough.
Hall: Because we didn’t find out about a lot of the exploits… We tested it all and we were like, sweet! We did a couple of rounds with ShackTac and then a few public people, no issue.
Crowe: And then the EVE players came in.
Hall: And then EVE players came in. And suddenly, wham, there are all these massive exploits. I just shut down Europe, all the Europe servers, you remember? While we fixed that. It was only New Zealand that we could keep running.
Crowe: Yeah, you were saying, there was no such concept as bandits while you were in New Zealand. Then these Europeans came in and started killing each other.
Hall: They did. It got so bad. Because there was a bug where everyone was spawning on the beach. No problem in New Zealand.
Buchta: People started helping each other, right?
Hall: Yeah, they started helping each other.
Buchta: While the Russians…
Hall: There was a guy who would wait there and he would help the new players when they spawned in. And then on the Europe server, it just became a bloodbath. It was so bad we had to shut the server down until I fixed the mechanic.
Buchta: I’m usually playing in the morning, the European morning, because the servers are full and I have family to take care of in the evenings. It’s always like I’m somewhere in the hills, and I’m always so glad I’m away, because the Russians are all chatting about how they killed people in Chernarus.
Crowe: If there was a real zombie apocalypse, I hope to God I’m in New Zealand. Anywhere near Russia, just end it now.
Hall: I love the passion the Russian players have, though. That’s why I love participating… I’ve done a few interviews with the live streams…
They’ve got that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. background…Hall: They get it, they so get it. I love watching their live streams. They’re crazy. They’re all bandits. All bandits. They’re just ruthless, they don’t care if they get killed. And they’re not PvP… They’re not player killers. Or they are, but they care about their gear, they care about staying alive. They’re just cutthroat. It’s great.
Buchta: They form small groups and…
Dslyecxi: Set a honey trap.
