Soviets in 2021/2022 would have been a bold worldbuilding choice to say the least

soup mod level of faction choice

[mellow knot]

true, but they retconned the soviets. I'm saying they should've stayed gone, and C-Con isolated for good.

[maiden grotto]

Like they ever could have done that...

[quaint cedar]

RIP. Came to see if anyone figured out what's up with the Bandit Jacket being missing but it looks like only one other person has had that happen. is there a way to make the area respawn to try at get it?

[plain fiber]

Don't worry, everyone's done it at least once. It's way easier too if English isn't your first language.

[terse ravine]

idk, regulatory board being made up of uknown oligarchs attempting to control the world isn't very far fetched tbh

[river chasm]

At least personally I had always thought there would be powerful people on the outside who helped supply the group in the original games, and that one day they might want to make good on their investments

[plain fiber]

The Regulatory Board sounds like a new iteration of The Group that was mentioned in the original trilogy.

I mean both are the same thing; a shadowy group of the ultra powerful/wealthy whose ultimate motives are unknown.

[weary hedge]

Yet they are all somehow eastern european?

I mean, if we think about it logically, for an apparently international group, they all seem very one dimensional in terms of demographics

i cant reasonably believe they serve some international group of ogliarchs or anything, it has to be a somewhat localised group

look at their gear - all eastern european soviet or post soviet vehicles

its government affiliated in some sense, has to be

a good deal of the main characters are ex ukrainian military, skif, the colonel

the devs are fkn morons, stop developing games and remove this garbage from steam

[quiet idol]

This mod is incredible. Probably the best one i've tried

The most popular one i feel made the performance worse than the base game

But the essentials one i found while looking up mods and its the best one for performance

Idk how the tweaks one is the most popular.

[weary hedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/484

Ultra Plus is the best :p if you understand how to use it you can get performance and visual gains at the same time

[river chasm]

My read was that they probably had some ties to the soviet government back before the collapse. I think the original experiments date back that far.

[grizzled drum]

Hello guys

How are you all doing

[vernal lily]

Can't say that things are well, but it's manageable. About to continue playing S2 for tonight.

[austere cove]

anybody else feel regretful after having to kill korshunov in the cancerous boss fight and looking at the desc of his items

he was always nice asf to skif/yevhen

[valid ridge]

I BEG you gsc, let me kill richter.

[vernal lily]

:(

[ornate sable]

They let you in one of the routes. Feels bad though, he's a friendly guy. Like the Snufkin of the Zone.

[valid ridge]

Seeing his stupid face makes me angry

[vernal lily]

Rat Man full of rage

[wintry pumice]

Nice?

[tardy rain]

message me if you wanna get it working

[valid ridge]

He let skiff live/gave opportunities to join ward until pripyat.

[wintry pumice]

So did Scar

[mental slate]

🛣️ 🗺️ Roadmap, please

[fallen latch]

[wintry pumice]

You can....

[stable mirage]

Hi guys. I have a question - is there anu news or info about ANomaly for Stalker 2? IS it developing at all,anybody knows smthn?

[weary hedge]

dont they have their own discord? lol

[brazen arch]

4 days already and cant release a "hotfix", how is it called hotfix.

[boreal coyote]

I wouldn't imagine it'd be any time soon buddy

[left crystal]

Guys is there any tasks in the burnt forest?

[rough crater]

anyone else with dlss framegen option disappeared?

[left crystal]

Maybe you should check your Nvidia settings 🤔

[rough crater]

check what, nothing there should cause that option to disappear

[crude quarry]

I heard there's a mini side quest

[left crystal]

It's time to go to red forest and still didn't get anything that takes me to the burnt forest

[weary hedge]

verify files through steam

[trail anchor]

Considering it's the weekend, we won't see anything until Monday onwards

[rough crater]

did that just now and option is back, thanks

[random star]

So uhh, I'm doing another playthrough, and I just shot up Roosevelt in the legends of the Zone mission, come back to his base, and he's there, alive

There's 2 Roosevelts

[solemn ibex]

weird I cannot edit my name in here, I have to edit my whole profile

[random star]

Same

[solemn ibex]

do u exit the server and reenter it every day? u keep having the new tag

[random star]

No? Also wdym by new tag? New tag as in novice or smth?

[solemn ibex]

next to ur name a little leaf

[random star]

Huh, weird, no I've been here for, well, not a while, but I'm not new

A week

[whole turtle]

How do yall get the faction titles?

[forest scarab]

Hello guys, We are about to initiate a petition for GSC to bring what we need in DLCs: all the areas that were to be in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in first place. Those are:

Jupiter Plant
Iron Forest
ChNPP
Generators

Sandy Plateau (already mentioned as DLC)
Cold Island (already mentioned as DLC)
Limansk (already mentioned as DLC)
Northern and Central Pripyat
Korogod
Sosnodub
Ko(sh)marovka
Glinnitsa River

Labs:
X-5 (Cooling towers, Red Fortress)
X-12 (Cooling towers)
X-4 (Radar Station “Duga”)
X-6 (Swamps) (there are two more names - “Laboratory of Hydrodynamics” and “Laboratory of Nanos and Erosions”, it is unknown if it's the same place)
X-8 (Pripyat)
X-10 (Radar / Malachite)
X-13 (Redwoods)
X-15 (Jupiter Factory)
X-16 (Yantar)
Monolith Control Bunker (ChNPP)
Chemistry laboratory for the research of so-called polymaterials (Chemical Plant)

Please let us know with your reactions to this message if you are interested in supporting this.

[whole turtle]

Full support on that. Would be great to see more stuff from old games. The Nostalgia would be legendary

[maiden grotto]

Can you also Petition them for new stuff...

I mean... does everything have to be creatively bankrupt?

[solemn ibex]

Still the same question as on the forum, how will GSC even with all its desire finance it?

[river chasm]

With all the money they made off the game I guess is the idea

I'd like to see some stuff added back in but only if they find a good use for it

[brazen arch]

I think they could not care less/

[river chasm]

That all said generators are actually in the game still so they don't need to be added

[forest scarab]

As well the the Jupiter, ChNPP and Iron Forest.
That's why they are being mentioned together.

[river chasm]

Yeah but I mean you actually go there in the game unlike with those other three

Though it's just for the finale

[shell kite]

abunch of videos recently mentioned stalker 2 adding mod support i thought it was already here? do they mean mods for console or like extra mod support tools for everyone

[slender trench]

As a fan of the prior games, the writing for S2 has been really good.

[wintry pumice]

Linus what you doing here?

[normal sail]

modding SDK

no ETA on that though

[slender trench]

Wtf, you can't use coupled magazines on Spitfire?

[shell kite]

im a pleb i dont know what that means

[sturdy verge]

Sid life dlc from the moment he entered the zone to when he became a trader 😂 and unlimited chicken jk jk

[wintry pumice]

Gimme pre nerf weird water, idc about the bugs anymore

[slender trench]

Are the Arch Artifacts one of a kind? Or can you collect multiple?

[normal sail]

Software development kit

it allows people to make content for the game

[slender trench]

More than anything, I just want keybinds that will move/drop/loot whatever item you are highlighting with your mouse.

[shell kite]

so that is not yet added

[polar forge]

guys is there any way to toggle this #📸┃screens_and_videos message optic to use the reticle above the one im aiming with now or is it just the one?

[maiden grotto]

Nope

[slender trench]

https://tenor.com/view/wack-thatswack-hannibal-burress-ericandreshow-gif-20565184

[maiden grotto]

1 of a kind... except for the ball... you can get another one... not sure after the latest patch though

[normal sail]

Yes.

I said there was no ETA on it. Just like the roadmap which might as well be vapor

[plain fiber]

Are you talking about Ward or the Regulatory Board here?

[pallid thorn]

yo has anyone else encountered the bug where the game crashes shortly after (spoiler warning) ||you defeat faust, and you are teleported to the top of the duga tower and right after skif catches himself the game crashes||
now i've been using the rocket launcher to do this, and also the 40mm he

i request help with solutions please

[meager crag]

Have you reported this issue to #s2-support? They can't help directly, but it could get fixed in an upcoming patch

[light crag]

is a helpers on

[pallid thorn]

submitted a clip hopefully that'd halp

[light crag]

my game crash whit new install

[pulsar cloud]

i found a group of solders running the same direction i was going and decided to follow them for a bit. I paused at an old bus to loot while the solders ran ahead and after about 30 seconds of gunfire i looked up to see 3 blood stalkers walking toward me. Why are these things everywhere in packs now

[feral horizon]

So I found out if you attach the gp-25 grenade launcher to the drowned gun, it disappears. I assume its cause the drowned already has a built-in grenade launcher.

[random star]

[maiden grotto]

Found that with a few attachments...

Of you add attachments to weapons that come with them, that you can't remove, you lose them.

No idea why.

[feral horizon]

Probably an oversight in programming. You shouldn't be able to attach those attachments to a gun that already has them built in.

[maiden grotto]

Coz stupid decision made by devs, higher up.

[feral horizon]

Just saying the drowned is such a good gun and I regret giving that thing away on my first playthrough.

[maiden grotto]

Your would think.

Might be an idea, to report it as a bug

[maiden grotto]

Drowned is an amazing gun

[feral horizon]

I'm debating switching it out for the decider but I'm not sure.

[brazen arch]

Im in pripyat and suddenly the game eat all my 32Gb ram then freeze. Lol.

[pulsar cloud]

i have run into 5 more since i said that xD

[maiden grotto]

Well, you got some catching up to do...

Some of us had 5/6 spawn...

Current bloodsucker death count, 100's

But, its nuts.

[light crag]

i have a report for a erro

is admin on

[light crag]

@hardy totem

[drifting bear]

https://support.stalker2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[slender trench]

I just realized. I have like 100+ hours in this playthrough and I've never seen a tornado.

[feral horizon]

I still haven't gotten a liquid rock but I've somehow gotten several compasses and hyper cubes.

[slender trench]

I found mine near... whatever the Skadovsk is called now. The cluster of bubble anomalies in the middle of the swamp.

[ornate sable]

I've got heaps of liquid rocks, compasses, thunderberries, hypercubes, but so far only found a single night star.

[gentle pilot]

It's amazing until after SIRCAA

[gentle pilot]

I thought the Night Star was just a myth

[random star]

I Also thought so up until a few days ago

[drifting forge]

I haven't found a single mamas beads or eye since release lol

[quiet idol]

Im not sure the mods that improve ai in combat actually work. They still feel pretty stupid

[slender trench]

I just killed four zombies and they were all carrying SVDs for some reason. Even though one already had a Grom.

[maiden grotto]

Ballistic mods... so they make sense

[weary hedge]

I hope this patch finally fixes the issue lmao

[maiden grotto]

I'll give you a guess

[weary hedge]

I think ive waited like

3 months about now?

@maiden grotto im going to cry.

Im at the point where ill deadass send the devs 100$ just to fix this lmao

[maiden grotto]

Lol.

What's the problem you got?

[weary hedge]

"In the name of science" ur supposed to collect collars, got the first one or whatever, it sends me to garbage to grab one from an area I previously killed a snork at, but I already handed that collar off to the professor and the snork is now disappeared

[maiden grotto]

The snork doesn't have it... so merc in the compound have it... you either buy it or kill them.

[weary hedge]

No, I know what youre thinking, youre thinking about the collar in the brain scorcher

im talking about the one near slag heap below the brood by a bunch of cars

[maiden grotto]

Oh your on about the one in garbage

[weary hedge]

correct, i previously killed that snork earlier in the game and the professor dude already took the collar

I sent in a bug report on jan 10, and asked for an update on feb 18 and they said they were aware of it so.... hopefully next patch (im coping bro)

"Thank you for reaching out. This bug has been partially fixed, it should not happen in any newer saves. But for the saves where this problem did already happen, our team is working on a permanent fix, with solutions planned for upcoming patches. But sadly I do not have any timeline to share regarding the timeline."

[maiden grotto]

So what's not happening?

[weary hedge]

I mean, I cant collect the collar cuz its not there, and the snork isnt there either

the professor dude already took the collar off me when I met him.

and upon returning to the area for this quest, snork is gone

[solemn ibex]

I have had like at least three - four quests botched and I just said to myself (maybe for another playthrough)

[maiden grotto]

If you have killed the snork and handed it in... you don't to go back.

Our did you not pick the collar up first time?

[solemn ibex]

he did, the quest marker just shows it again

[weary hedge]

Nope, picked it up cuz I was in the area previously before the quest, met Dvupalov who took the collar off me, did a few quests then this one popped up, returned to area, no snork, no collar

[maiden grotto]

Have you handed in all the other collars?

[austere cove]

snorks have some cool sound effects

[weary hedge]

Not sure, but I def had a ton of collars before I met Dvupalov, now I only have the one collar you mentioned where you talk to the merc for it

[slender trench]

Does anybody else feel like sometimes the red dot sights feel more obtrusive and less helpful than plain iron sights?

[maiden grotto]

It might be an idea to hand all the otherones it... it might force close the bugged one...

[drifting forge]

I dont use red dots on eastern weapons often

And I don't really use western ones

[maiden grotto]

If not... you have to go back to a previous save, unfortunately

[weary hedge]

I have no previous saves kek

so here I keep on waiting, I guess

[maiden grotto]

Yeah... that's not helpful

So the only thing you can is complete the rest of quest, see if it fixes it

[weary hedge]

Where might ay other collars be?

[slender trench]

You can get two collars from helping Nightingale in Zalyssia, one from a quest for Bartender that leads you to the red forest to fight a Pseudogiant, and there's a Controller somewhere that has another.

[weary hedge]

yup, got all of those actually

[slender trench]

Idk if there are more.

[maiden grotto]

There are 5 iirc

There is one on a cat near boating place

[weary hedge]

yup got that one too

im 99% sure ive gotten every singole collar

[maiden grotto]

Have you handed them all in

[weary hedge]

like I said, the only one I have on me rn is the one from the mercs @ the scorcher, everything else was handed in

[maiden grotto]

Hand that in, and see what happens

[weary hedge]

Do i just hand it in to the professor?

[maiden grotto]

Yeah... do that

[weary hedge]

or where tf even is schreba to give it to

[river chasm]

He's usually in the tunnel where dvupalov hangs out

[weary hedge]

wont hurt to try.

@maiden grotto Visited him and he just said "bring me all the collars at once"

[maiden grotto]

That's fecked. You might have to start a new game and wait

[weary hedge]

Yeaaaa so im not starting a new game lmao

[maiden grotto]

Could be waiting a long time, and sometimes starting a new game is the best thing to do.

[weary hedge]

Eh, yeah, ive already beat the game a few times but this is my 100% save file essentially

[slender trench]

The Super has some crazy reach. I helped some Loners fight off some hostiles from afar, and I was surprised at how fast the bullet traveled and how little drop it had compared to every other weapon in the game.

[maiden grotto]

My first play through, is completely borked. Not happy about it.

Has left a permanent sour taste in my mouth

I feel your pain...

[slender trench]

That happened to me, especially after the first major patch. I decided to play some other stuff, returning once the game was more stable.

[maiden grotto]

M701 is... something sweet

[slender trench]

A realistic depiction of a weapon's performance? In Stalker 2!? 🤣

[maiden grotto]

I don't think mine will ever be fixed...

It is what it is.

[slender trench]

Ngl, I'm a little salty over how mediocre the Viper is. I love how the MP5 looks, it's just god-awful in this game for GSC's weird balancing design.

Effective range of 5 meters.

[maiden grotto]

And you are on a pc, mod ballistics

Weapon ballance in the game... awful

[scenic scaffold]

fubar

[slender trench]

I've been making a list of things that could be done to make combat better. One gripe I have is that, because enemies have fair accuracy in their shots regardless of how far away you are, sniping is sometimes a pain unless you're really far away due to the flinching/stagger.

[feral horizon]

So like how did the cement factory move from jupiter to above zaton?

[slender trench]

When the game came out, I was pretty pissed to find that I was getting my ass kicked by a bandit squad armed with M10 Gordons from 30 meters away. But when I use the Gordon it's not even remotely accurate past 10 meters.

[feral horizon]

re-playing call of pripyat a bit to see how much was changed

[maiden grotto]

Map retcon, to match the rl world better

[feral horizon]

So is there an actual cement factory like that in chernobyl and is zaton and actual real world area?

[slender trench]

Maybe. I'm sure there's a detailed map on Google or something.

[maiden grotto]

Google is you best friend...

I don't mind the map changes. Just wish the map was bigger.

[feral horizon]

It seems like there was enough space in Jupiter to put the cement factory there and the duty base could have been somewhere else.

[feral horizon]

Stalker 2 is already huge. Do you mean the jupiter area?

[maiden grotto]

Is not huge

[feral horizon]

How much bigger do you want it.

[slender trench]

Honestly, I just wish there more trees (or thicker trees) or rocks scattered through the map that you could use for cover. Sometimes it feels like you get caught out in the open with your options being:
-Kill everybody really fast.
-Run.

[feral horizon]

They literally took all the old maps, made them bigger, and added new ones.

[slender trench]

I didn't go to Cement Factory for a long while until I found a scope. It's way too open and flat.

[maiden grotto]

And it's a 2 min sprint between heap and rostok.

Everything just feels to close together.

The map is less than 5x5km...

[feral horizon]

I mean they were right next to each other in the old games so of course those areas aren't gonna be too far from each other.

[maiden grotto]

Exactly... and for me, it feels everything is to close

[feral horizon]

What games have you played that are bigger than stalker 2?

[wintry pumice]

Game of life

[river chasm]

Daggerfall (everything is so far away fast travel is mandatory)

[maiden grotto]

Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Daggerfall, Elite Dangerous. Planet Side 2, Arma 3, DayZ.

Want me to go on?

[slender trench]

Does anybody have a concrete idea for how shooting through cover works? It's not really explained at all.

[feral horizon]

To be fair planetside 2 maps are mostly copy and pastes of the same bases.

[maiden grotto]

That's neither here nor there.

You said maps that are bigger...

AI I said maps that were bigger

[feral horizon]

Is Skyrim bigger?

[river chasm]

If you include interiors probably

[slender trench]

I just realized something. The hole in the side of the hill that Scar uses to go into the other part of Agroprom Underground is not a thing. From Clear Sky.

[feral horizon]

The whole probably got filled up.

[smoky hawk]

Skyrim is 37km squared

[maiden grotto]

I said daggerfall... but you can add skyrim if you want

[feral horizon]

Just looked up that stalker 2 is nearly twice the size of skyrim.

[smoky hawk]

its, on the website, 64km squared

[maiden grotto]

No it is not, its less that 25km2

[river chasm]

Daggerfall is mostly procedurally generated so you tell me if it's a comparison that makes any sense in the first place though

[feral horizon]

This site says 64km2 https://screenrant.com/stalker-2-map-size-comparison-original-trilogy/

[wintry pumice]

https://youtube.com/shorts/dCEp8apTmnQ?si=S0HmLQEEMgXs29mj

[maiden grotto]

Still bigger, doesn't matter how it is done

[river chasm]

Yeah it's not hard to make a game world that is >99% empty fields if you want

That said daggerfall is cool

[maiden grotto]

It's a lie.

For a 64km2 you need a map, 8km by 8km...

And at no point are you 8km from anything...

[smoky hawk]

roggatrong measured it with a comically long ruler

https://tenor.com/view/joker-batman-big-gun-gun-jack-nicholson-gif-13724041

[feral horizon]

Is there a source that proves its not 64km by 64km?

[maiden grotto]

Your shit at maths

[feral horizon]

Im just going by what it says online chill out,

[smoky hawk]

how dare you not trust rog's word

hes an authority yknow...

[river chasm]

idk at this point I am remembering to wonder why I should even care

[smoky hawk]

what else are you gonna do aside from wasting time in discord?
something productive?
if you were gonna do taht, you wouldnt be here to begin with

[weary hedge]

you're* shit at spelling :p

[maiden grotto]

If the map was 64km x 64km the total map size would be.

4096km2...

FFS!

[weary hedge]

dafuq is up boiiiisss

[maiden grotto]

People being shit at maths

[feral horizon]

I mistyped whatever.

[maiden grotto]

No fecks given, on a mobile phone

[weary hedge]

is the 60x60 including the areas you cant actually enter

like what is it actually including - > walking from one side of the gta map to the other takes longer than from the bottom of the stalker map to pripyat

[smoky hawk]

*yureo

[weary hedge]

im not sure if thats actually a distance thing or if its just scale+speed differences

[maiden grotto]

If have used the fly mode... the map is not 64x64.

[weary hedge]

thats basically what im saying, it doesnt feel anywhere near as big as the gta map (which is what it was compared to)

[smoky hawk]

everyone is talking about squared kilometers, not 64 length

#s2-support

I do not trust that discord link

dont actually click that

[maiden grotto]

Don't be a twat again. The guy said he did a mistake and put in 64x64...

[maiden grotto]

No worries

[smoky hawk]

please, be easy on him
hes american

[maiden grotto]

Is not a very big map at all...

It's about 25km2 at the moment... most likely less, due lots of the map being under clouds or inexpressible.

[feral horizon]

Where are you getting 25km2 from.

[fierce nexus]

Map is 64 km²

[sturdy verge]

69x69 where oh nvm 64

[fierce nexus]

Or about 24.7 square miles for you imperial system users

[radiant quest]

stalker 2 sucks ass

[smoky hawk]

the true stalker fan appears

[radiant quest]

can i get a refund for my deluxe edition

[smoky hawk]

not if you played -1 minutes

[radiant quest]

well at least my money resulted in more dead russians

[river chasm]

enlightened criticism

[vernal lily]

Lovely conversation here

[radiant quest]

sorry but the remaining of my braincells left me the moment i committed myself into finishing this freakshow of a game

[vernal lily]

K

[radiant quest]

no, seriously, i cant be the only one who found the game as a huge letdown

[vernal lily]

Beans

[smoky hawk]

depends

[radiant quest]

id shove beans up my ass than to play stalker 2 again

[river chasm]

If you were I wouldn't be waiting in vain for this line of thought to go somewhere interesting

[vernal lily]

Even castor beans?

[smoky hawk]

I dont want to hear what you like to do in private bro, its a public server

[maiden grotto]

OK, when you 8km apart

from somewhere?

If your lucky, it might be from pripyat to swamp...

The game is no where near 64km2.... maybe if you include vast amounts on inexcessable areas

[radiant quest]

even sherlok

[vernal lily]

I don't think that would work out

[radiant quest]

well i managed to finish sloptalker 2 so i can manage to make it work out

[weary hedge]

lmao nowhere near, has to be something different there (gta is 60x60 and it takes you like 30+ minutes to walk from one end to the other, probably more.)

[smoky hawk]

there are variety of factors that can affect that dont you think?

[weary hedge]

'has to be something there' - there has to be factors affecting it

so obviously, yes, i do think

[vernal lily]

You ever heard of water caltrop?

[weary hedge]

you can offer those factors instead of recapping what i said - you havent offered anything of value so far anyway

[smoky hawk]

how about movement speed and perspective

[radiant quest]

no but i bet you i can also shove the entire squad of call of Pripyat up in my ass

[smoky hawk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/417499289380454410/1304438153758638232/caption.gif

[vernal lily]

It's a plant, they produce interesting looking pods.

[weary hedge]

so further recapping what i said

also further proves you offered nothing valuable insight wise as you didnt bother to respond then saying, actually, yes its x and x and x and x factors

also if youre somehow scaling it plus increasing speed x10 but making it look relatively normal, idc how you compare it that aint true 64x64

might as well make one small square box and say, no, its 64x64 cause you move 6400x more slowly

[smoky hawk]

if everyone uses a completely different scale then measurements mean nothing, which is why comparing game maps to each other is assenine

[radiant quest]

is there gonna be a CRCR mod for stalker 2 yet

[smoky hawk]

?

[radiant quest]

you dont know CRCR? sad!

[weary hedge]

its not asinine, you can play both games and one definitely feels 'bigger' one you actually explore them both

[smoky hawk]

it is completely arbritrary

[weary hedge]

stalker just has big gaps between buildings and then surprise surprise youve crossed an entire zone in 5 minutes or so and done or seen barely anything, gta that same distance you havent even made it to another police station (if we use them as landmarks) within the city itself, let alone leaving the city

and thats not even a quarter of the map scale wise

[radiant quest]

only interesting gta game i played was san andreas, everything else was extremely mid, even vice city

[smoky hawk]

it is assanine because each different game uses a different scale, prespective and speed which means their measurements are completely different so the map size in kms tells you nothing

[weary hedge]

vice city was probably my most nostalgic gta, followed by SA and then the earlier top-down games

[smoky hawk]

Stalker 2 lets you go fast which factors in why it feels so small

[weary hedge]

the issue comes in where they use different scales but then blandly come out saying 'its 64x64' with no data outside of that, KNOWING it will be compared to other games, thus why they came out saying it

[radiant quest]

i can name you multiple PS2 games that have triple the seize of stalker 2's map

[river chasm]

If the map were bigger without more stuff going on in it, it would have just been a waste of resources anyway

[weary hedge]

still a good game regardless lol

[radiant quest]

not good enough for me

[smoky hawk]

if you say this about stalker you need to say this about every single other triple A open world game that has been advertised

[river chasm]

skill issue

[smoky hawk]

a double standard, lets call it

[radiant quest]

i like how this guy is acting like OGSR front-man, just shilling non stop

[weary hedge]

i was trying to think of some that blatantly said it was 'x' size when it wasnt, lol, maybe assassins creed? some of the earlier games? odyssey and valhalla were pretty big, probably comparable to stalker if not a bit bigger

[radiant quest]

i hope he gets paid for his preaching

[slender trench]

How could would it be if ||the Duga, when powered, would periodically emitted psychic blasts that created psi-storms||?

[radiant quest]

my GAMMA spin off anomaly modpack is more interesting than stalker 2

[smoky hawk]

they probably were the size that they advertised but felt bigger because the game is such a slow slog to get thru, your statement was much more that GSC participated in deceptive marketing because game map size cant be matched to feel 1:1, and I told you, that if you say that you gotta say that about everything

[smoky hawk]

youre gonna give surdno an heart attack

[weary hedge]

lmao it is deceptive if youre telling me the maps bigger than gta, it aint, the assets have to be heeeeeaps bigger if they want to try and claim it is

[smoky hawk]

yhea, like I said, if you will say that then you need to say that about the entire industry for using tatics such as these not just limited to GSC

[weary hedge]

we can say movement speed but everything you move past on gta is quite big size wise and it still takes x to move, even if we give stalker a 50% speed increase its still quicker to cross the map in stalker

[maiden grotto]

It gets worse

[weary hedge]

relatively all im claiming is either ones smaller than the other, or they cannot be compared and thus '64x64' shouldnt be used as a metric, at least not without further explanation

[smoky hawk]

youre being stingy by saying stalker character is only 50% faster than your average GTA protagonist

[weary hedge]

i dont even want it changed realistically lol i joined an already started conversation 😂

[smoky hawk]

yhea it shouldnt be used as a metric, and what Im saying is that if you choose to argument that then you also need to take a torch to GTA, Skyrim, FO4 and any open world game for using this marketing strategy

[weary hedge]

realistically they move through the game world at what they both try to portray as 'realistic' speeds

[smoky hawk]

pretty easy concept

[weary hedge]

i would if yall were talking about that when i arrived lol

it was all rogs fault, then dude disengaged and jumped into the other convo thats happening 😂

[smoky hawk]

if its broken, its rogs fault

I like that

i gotta go to work anyways bois, enjoy your day!

[maiden grotto]

Pandering to much, to weird freaks.

All I want is for GSC to stock to the lore and make the zone the best out could be.

And keep the weird stuff out of it.

[vernal lily]

Dude didn't stand a chance

[radiant quest]

keep out the weird stuff? lol stalker 1 soc was peak weird stuff

that game played less like a shooter and more like horror simulator followed with random crashes all the time

[vernal lily]

"And this is why gaming industry is in trouble...."

Because BG3 let you shag a bear?

[radiant quest]

have you tried playing skyrim with mods? bears shag you in that game

[vernal lily]

If they let players did that, I don't understand why they can't add a romance option for Raphael

[smoky hawk]

did you play SOC?

[radiant quest]

i played soc and cop

the two of them were pretty awesome

[smoky hawk]

I dont believe you

[river chasm]

Yeah the horror was the horror the agroprom military base felt when I gunned down 20 guys in 2 minutes

[radiant quest]

okay i can name you the endings but dont want to spoiler the rest of the people here

stalker cop hit its peak for me during the ||squad expedition mission where you had to go and recruit your own members||

[oak junco]

Why did you skip clear sky

It's much better then CoP lol

[radiant quest]

the first 5 minutes made me want to shoot myself

[vernal lily]

I lobe clear sky

[smoky hawk]

COP enjoyer
slop consumer

[vernal lily]

Is Roggy writing another essay because I replied to him. I only quoted him because it looked funny.

[radiant quest]

i enjoyed soc more than cop thoughever

[oak junco]

Soc is peak imo

I hope s2 can reach it's level one day

[radiant quest]

ironic how he calls me a slop consumer when hes actively defending the SLOPtalker 2

[oak junco]

Wild

[vernal lily]

white role

all opinions immediately discarded

[smoky hawk]

he muses to himself, while he plays is mages of the coast sanctioned version of D&D, sipping his mocha tea, asking for more bears in BG3 which he plays on the easiest difficulty because hes scared of numbers and illeterate

[radiant quest]

whites invented video games

[oak junco]

Ayo..

[maiden grotto]

Eh?

[vernal lily]

My first impressions of this guy is

• Hates s2
• Shoves beans up his ass
• wants to get with the bears and bloodsuckers

[maiden grotto]

So what's that for to do with white people and opinions?

[oak junco]

He meant roles

It should be obvious lol

[vernal lily]

When did I say white people, I meant roles

[smoky hawk]

hes a troll

[smoky hawk]

you got baited

[vernal lily]

I am but a fish in a pond

[radiant quest]

trolling is like being ironic or something, reality is im like this all the time

[smoky hawk]

bad bait

[radiant quest]

how is anything i have said a bait

[vernal lily]

Average stalker 2 fan

[radiant quest]

1. the game sucked balls
2. it would have probably benefitted from niche mechanics like shagging a bloodsucker
3. yes i shove things up my ass

[vernal lily]

I thought you meant Roggy, but if you meant the other guy nah. Dude is just the average new guy.

[radiant quest]

i still want my refund

[maiden grotto]

I don't bait, I just give my honest opinions.... whether people like them or not

[oak junco]

Relax

[vernal lily]

You will get your refund some day, in your dreams

[maiden grotto]

Not gonna happen now.

[river chasm]

You bought the game and even finished it for some reason so seems like a tough ask

i do NOT fuck around with that weird shit

it would be a auto ban if i had a choice but warning > mute > ban

if a bloodsucker is down, and if i'm down, and we are both in the mood, we are all down

[oak junco]

i told you already to stop

now i gotta act

[radiant quest]

im speaking in literally sense i have not said a sexual thing

did they make pripyat a radiation instakill zone so that the parkour mod doesnt work

bruh they did

[ebon blade]

There is instakill radiation all over the Zone.

[tulip vale]

only for areas youre "not allowed" to get into, it is used in place of invisible walls

[ebon blade]

There are also instakill snipers at various locations in the Zone.

Physical protection appears to have diminishing returns. I've a fully upgraded exosuit with a Magic Cube and I'm just getting obliterated leaning from behind cover.

[brazen arch]

the kharod when we switch caliber to 5.45 does it increase damage guys?

[polar forge]

I try to use OptiScaler in this game and now even after following uninstall instructions they have posted my game crashes right after launching 😔

Maybe if I verify & repair game files it will fix it

[weary hedge]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L6jBHJtw8AZrJZmOiFekiS2YVudHS3rQVGQN-oOaNMk/edit?gid=2000689774#gid=2000689774

doesnt really increase stats much, slight bump to dispersion

[light crag]

Is a technical support on ?

[weary hedge]

#s2-support technical support is done via the website here

[brazen arch]

wtf, that spread make my eyes bleeding and my brain hurt so bad. im gonna try to read it. thanks you for the information.

[brazen arch]

if u dont mind, may i ask what is dispersion? the only dispersion im familiar with is the spectre's dispersion.

[weary hedge]

i think it means bullet dispersion, like recoil but side to side, as it labels both dispersion and recoil as 'radius'

not sure though

[brazen arch]

so, is it can be consider as kinda pointless to change caliber.

and the bullets dont have it's own damage btw, i always though the final damage is the gun's damage + the bullet damage.

[serene barn]

I feel like dispersion might be for hipfire?

Like a radius measurement for how many degrees a gun jumps up when shooting while aimed seems weird

[brazen arch]

whatever it is, i think i could not care less. this aint the type of game u can spray hundreds of bullets anyway.

in the changelog tab. the 1.3 update rename penetration to handling, it make nosense at all.

what are they thinking.

[weary hedge]

it does change the damage 'somewhat' cause if you look under the tab saying 'how many bloodsuckers can you kill with 1kg of ammo'

the normal kharod is 5 with ap rounds, converted is 6

so i think the damage does increase with conversion, just not by much

[brazen arch]

the normal is 5, converted is 6 so the damage is decrease?

[weary hedge]

id agree with you though and wouldnt bother, and yes it decreases mb

[brazen arch]

lol

[polar forge]

Dispersion I think maybe would be spread

After I uninstall and started downloading my game again…I learn that there was a file I could have opened to delete the cause of the crashes -_-

Oh well at least it is time for me to sleep anyway. Game should be installed again by time I wake up

[brazen arch]

it's took me about 10-20min to download here.

[polar forge]

Usually my Internet speed is 600-800mbps. But right now it is barely getting 100mbps

I live in the middle of nowhere so only Internet option is T-Mobile. The speeds can fluctuate depending on cell tower usage

But it is very fast more often than not. Seems like overnight is usually significantly slower

[weary hedge]

300 is a good day for me

rural australia so my only option is either 100 down 25 up fibre to node, or starlink with 200ish down

[polar forge]

My upload is terrible. On a good day maybe 10mbps 15 if I’m really lucky. Ping is usually 40-70ms.

My old house a few months ago I had 1gbps download 75mbps upload and never more than 17 ping lol I miss it

[serene barn]

What gun is if you were talking about?

[brazen arch]

kharod

change caliber on kharod is pointless.

[serene barn]

It says what it does in game. I can’t remember if it touches the damage but iirc the 545 conversion is the only way to get wear and tear reduced on the Kharod. So it’s worth it for me.

[weary hedge]

1534 shots to 0 durability with regular
1918 shots converted

[brazen arch]

ah, talk about description in game, it's so confuse for me, wear and tear from external sources 20%, but in green so it mean decrease wear and tear? while the word it mean it increase. right?

then the next line, spread decrease -10% in red.

so it mean spread increase. right?

i dunno if the dev was high when the make those description.

so over complicated for no reason.

Who buys broken guns again? Is it that guy in Rostok.

All the way up at Yaniv station right now though, I think I need to pay a guide. But want to save my coupons.

Yep, it's the Ragman guy at Rostok

[serene barn]

An increase in wear and tear is when your gun breaks faster. A decrease is green text because it means your gun breaks slower. Thus it’s a good thing.

Using other ammo types like AP or flat, says that it increases the wear so your gun breaks faster using it.

[brazen arch]

i know what does it mean. but the pharse is so confused.

[frozen fossil]

is the dlc for the game being worked on?

[vernal lily]

Most likely not atm, who knows

[serene barn]

Eh. I’m personally more confused about stuff like “spread” because it should just say hipfire as I think that’s where it works. Or finding it more confusing when the bars go up for something effectively useless or even when the bar goes down for increased recoil control or whatever it is again.

You know guys, it is clear that Insurance Industry needs to be somehow controlled and regulated
Skif instead of doing an insurance claim for the house fire decided
that it would be easier to go to the Zone to the sure death of his
just to get money for a new apartment

[distant spindle]

Doubt they had "fire caused by anomalies" in the contract 🤣😂

[solemn ibex]

just say house fire

[neat pollen]

Just a question, but does anyone else feel the map is a bit too big?

[drifting forge]

Nah, wandering around hits the vibes well. Things were a bit too close together in the trilogy

[neat pollen]

They were kinda, I'm on my 2nd playthrough and running across the map for the collars and back was a bit of a pain

Also how do I remove the media @

[drifting forge]

Unselect the media role

[boreal coyote]

who, me?

[chilly fjord]

Has anyone found the console edition to be more stable? I'm fed up of the pc version, from quest blockers to items just disappearing from my inventory I'm at my wits end 😂.

[weary hedge]

you'd think it'd come under natural events unless they somehow knew it wasnt natural 😂

and at that point its just property damage, but if its anything like my car insurance they refused to pay out unless they had the dudes name who damaged my car

[outer sonnet]

Almost feel close to Skyrim map I did run from the Cordon to pripyat took less time than in Skyrim map size seem decent. Once you get thunder berry artifact.

[subtle spindle]

you can just get the collar before the quest so you dont have to actually find it when the time comes. theres a snork with a collar next to the freedom funded bandit base i forgot what its called

[maiden grotto]

Then in his ending... destroy homes, lives, and families of millions of people world wide, by making the zone everywhere.

Makes perfect sense.

[outer sonnet]

Probably stable maybe running on 30-60 FPS, but with quest blockers and other items disappearing just part of the game simple fix either load and early save which work for me, on my second run playing is much better than my first for sure after recent update.

[weary hedge]

console version also runs it at far lower settings so ofc it'll be more stable

[chilly fjord]

Yeah I've started over 3 times now 😂.

[solemn ibex]

I hope it was not cannon ;0 Also very confusing ending, like all the storyline that lead to it all the conversations I had with people did not imply Skif would do it, was so random

[chilly fjord]

Just fed up of finding good items only for them to go missing. My first playthrough I had to abandon as one of the main story NPC's somehow died 😂.

Even earlier saves didn't help.

[outer sonnet]

Only had a NPC blocking the door way to progress to the mission other than that is game crashed on me which is on the game and me for under volt too low cause my rig to reboot while playing the game but since then be running well.

[gloomy zodiac]

Hey, has anyone ever had that "spooky" music from Rib's bunker looping even after you exit it ? it doesn't stop, regular ambiant music triggers in the same time, and it seems to be controlled by Sound Effects Volume and not Music Volume, I already tried Reloading save, rebooting the game etc...

[left violet]

it feels small sometimes 🤣 especially pripyat

[weary hedge]

thats what she said

[polar forge]

It look big but when I actually run zone to zone I get there so fast

Daggerfall is a game that is too big 🤣

[sturdy verge]

Does anyone know how to get to the 'fresh stash' in the middle north of the lesser zone near the broken bridge? I feel like i have to get to the other side of the water and walk over the bridge or something. Any tips?

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[river chasm]

That's correct. If you help Zotov in Behind Seven Seals you have to do that. If you help Gaffer and Richter then you leave the area through that checkpoint when they give you the key

[polar forge]

I am getting so mad man. I been running around this Old Church in swamps looking for this stupid beacon for 45 minutes. I can’t figure out how to get up there

Omg I am an idiot

[weary hedge]

after you jump over the hole, break the boards

[polar forge]

I broke the boards on the floor, crawled under and up into the attic, went up to the tower and then down the ladders to one of the anomalies you can land on to not take fall dmg. Now there is only a way outside or back up the ladders what the heck

Nvm I found it

[weary hedge]

after you jump down, you walk to the broken wall and take a right, then jump on the barrels onto the stairs

[polar forge]

Yeah I did all that I got to the part where at the bottom of ladders there is a stash. I had to just go back up and go opposite way on the roof to get to psi beacon

[weary hedge]

i hated that quest lol

[polar forge]

I am not liking it at all myself. I had this quest active for two weeks now🤣 I explored 6 other zones instead of starting this. Finally figured I should get to it

Not even joking there is 5 bloodsuckers out here fighting a pack of fleshes and rats are running around everywhere. This place is hell on earth

[slender trench]

Damn, I feel sorry for Faust.

[indigo oriole]

So apparently there is new location for 701 super and mark1 suppressor and it’s located in toxic cave near Yantar Production complex. I don’t know if they changed is recently or before but here u go

[left violet]

you still on it? once you're done with the three a chimera will attack, just run to the objective cause that shit pissed me off so hard last time cause there's an emition so you won't have time to kill it

[left violet]

thats new, is it one suppressor for both?

[indigo oriole]

Yes

No rhino there I’m afraid

[polar forge]

Tfw you are balls deep in the swamps and run out of buckshot

[weary hedge]

nah not me, was js

[empty hare]

I did the psi beacon quest in swamps and never went back. That area feels way more dangerous than anywhere else tbh

[polar forge]

I just did all the beacons but I am very tempted to leave and run to sultansk to resupply and rest then come back to finish. I have no ammo for my saiga and fighting anything bigger than fleshes with AR or SVD is not ideal

[polar forge]

WHAT???!

What is a chimera?? I just flipped off all beacons. But I have no buckshot left now and barely any medkits or ammo for other weapons either

[empty hare]

Do a big circle and come down at the last objective marker from the north, hugging the edge of the water as much as you can. As soon as you get into combat just book it to the wooden footbridge and don't stop for anything

[polar forge]

Well it is saying to pass through the Warren Shack now. Only 200m away. Is that where you mean to start running?

[empty hare]

Yes, there is a chimera there. If you stop to fight it an emission will kill you. As soon as you have the "get to the shack" mission youre on a timer and need to hurry to the bunker

[polar forge]

Omg bro I been standing around for a couple minutes already 🥲

Timer starts after you get to shack or after hitting final beacon?

[empty hare]

After the chimera notices you i believe. Either that or after you get within a certain distance of the bridge

It was middle of the night in a thunderstorm when i did it so i never even saw the chimera. I just started running as soon as i heard it and kept running til i was in the bunker

[polar forge]

Isn’t it one of the achievements to kill chimera?

[empty hare]

Maybe? I got an achievement for running away from it lol

[polar forge]

Maybe the achievement is just to get passed it

I’m glad I paid for lead container so I could use thunderberry before I got here. Sprinting around has never been better 🤣

[empty hare]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message
This is the one i got

[solemn ibex]

man, damn upgrades be mad expensive

[polar forge]

I just looked and there is one for running from chimera and one for killing chimera

I thought there was only one in the game. But turns out there is quite a few

[polar forge]

I ran around exploring like 6 different zones I had a couple dozen artifacts, bunch of armor and weapons I sold for about 150k coupons. And I still kept half of the stuff 🤣

I ignored the story for like a week

i just realized, no Corps role?

[vernal lily]

Not yet it looks like, maybe it's because it's still in spoiler territory for newcomers? Idk.

The emojis have been added though finally

[junior current]

i look in here everyday hoping for either the sdk, or the multiplayer patch or some preview of either.

[scenic scaffold]

Id check at the end of the year then

[sweet swan]

since update when i reload you can no longer see mags on the floor hmmmm weird

[wintry pumice]

Some people can't see their own guns

[scenic scaffold]

that's just a new anomaly.

[maiden grotto]

I think it's due to mods... update mine, better ballistics.

Can see my guns again now

[still edge]

its the famous anomaly called Texture Scaling, unfortunately all new games are affected by this anomaly

[wintry pumice]

The zone is just signalling you to come to the shining side of things

[scenic scaffold]

fr this. Just make sure everything is updated

[still edge]

i heard there are new bugs in the last update, bro im waiting GSC to fix the game but by now i better off playing the game right now before they completely broke it in the future🤣

[maiden grotto]

But the shining is fake... just like this game depth 🤣

[wintry pumice]

How can you say it's fake to this smiling face

[weary hedge]

anyone else having issues with deceiving the deceiver? the guy who supposed to pay me for killing him isnt showing up on the map anymore

[weary hedge]

DECEIVED

mf ran off with my money now im a cold blooded killer

[terse ravine]

i haven't tried the new update yet, but I've noticed a lot of side missions might break during emmisions

ive had the deceiver mission specifically break because the scammer died in an emmision

[weary hedge]

i killed the scammer outside and then went to the location on map where it said aksopa or whatever his name is is supposed to pay you, but he isnt there. i went to sleep, and now the marker for it is completely gone off the map

[maiden grotto]

I have no soul 😄

Anyone found out of the shield of duty armour? Or is still not placed on the map?

It's a worse version Curiass Exo Armour, which is awful it's self.

[stark turtle]

my game keeps crashing after I kill/shoot the canister on faust anything I should know or do to prevent the crashes I literally cant progress

[frigid hill]

siriuslyvega has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[edgy shell]

Just got to the clear sky base, it’s honestly so cool seeing it all run down. Being in a little pocket of the world that barely anybody else knows about, looking over the ruins of buildings you’ve once seen stand tall. It’s such an awesome vibe

[slender trench]

I thought they fixed not being able to hear enemy footsteps?

[pulsar cloud]

While walking through the red forest, I found a cave. All my horror movie knowledge screamed that it was a trap, so I ran past it. Just after running over the hill, three bloodsuckers roared and attacked me from the otherside of the hill. There was nothing in the cave; it was just a stash. I was tricked, backstabbed, and some might even say bamboozled!

[sturdy verge]

🔍

[vernal lily]

Is 'In the name of science' side quest bugged? It won't let me recalibrate the signal, I don't want to destroy it.

Nvm I forgot to pick something up to give me that option

[slender trench]

Is there a place in the southwestern corner of the map, Duga/Burned Forest, that a guide can take you?

[terse ravine]

the only base on the left side of the map is malachite, which you'll lose if you don't side with ward

[slender trench]

That really sucks...

Trekking all the way out there is a pain.

[terse ravine]

yeah, i feel like burnt forest would be perfect for mercenary base

[terse ravine]

anywhere i can find repair costs for armor? i don't wanna use diamond or liberty exo since I don't want to spend a lot of time artifact farming, thinking if switching to either ruby or operator exo, but idk how much cheaper they are to repair

[soft depot]

where do i find the psi blocker

i cant even save the alpha team

[terse ravine]

do any of the doctors sell psi blockers? running operator exo which pretty much has no psi protection

[weary hedge]

just use the armour tab at the bottom

[brazen arch]

it's a week already and still no hotfix. lol. Meanwhile they still make media and meme of the week, like people already can enjoy the game.

[terse ravine]

ty

[vernal lily]

Will Skif pass out if he drinks too much vodka in one sitting

[ebon blade]

Don't confuse the GSC employees who make the games and work on the fixes, with those GSC Employees who do media and public relations including Discord.

[ebon blade]

Not sure but I do know he'll get incredibly hungry and may die of hunger before he passes out.

[vernal lily]

Wait so hunger can kill you in this game

[worldly venture]

in a way yes

[ebon blade]

I've never tested it but I assume there are consequences if you don't eat.

[vernal lily]

I thought it just slowed down your health regen and stamina, something like that.

Maybe I will test this

[ebon blade]

Why don't you test out the endless vodka you are asking about? While you're at it don't eat anything.

[vernal lily]

Yeah, I'm doing that right now

[ebon blade]

Count the number of bottles you consume before something happens.

[magic vault]

Anyone else crashing at Duga after the ||Faust fight||?

if so
Is there any ways of progressing?

[terse ravine]

hypercube prevents hunger damage, but you still make more noise and have increased sway if you don't eat

[terse ravine]

i get a lot of crashes in all the boss fights

[vernal lily]

I will try without that and see what happens

[magic vault]

I lost so much progress first time it happened ;_;
My Geforce NOW streaming service didn't save anything from that session due to that crash, at least I saved closer to it this time around

[vernal lily]

I use GFN and it nuked my entire safe during my first playthrough because of network issues. I was also close to finishing, lol.

[worldly venture]

so i must have so much luck

i play in gfn and the only problem i have is the bugs in the launch

[vernal lily]

65 vodka bottles later and it did absolutely nothing to Skif's health and stamina. He's invincible.

[worldly venture]

and 100% alcohol

[hardy totem]

He carries a pickled liver artifact inside at all times

[magic vault]

saving and closing the game and Nvidia session secures saves for me

[vernal lily]

Yeah, after about one hour I save game and close it entirely to avoid this said issue if it happens again. So far so good, although lately my internet hasn't been so bad.

[vernal lily]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

Anyways, I'm off to play the game normally

[worldly venture]

time to search easter eggs

[hardy totem]

There's some fun ones

[weary hedge]

check the online stalker map and search Psyblock, might have it

#📸┃screens_and_videos @soft depot

[plucky pasture]

Hardware ray tracing ?

[boreal coyote]

there's nothing chill about wearing a balaclava 🤣

[solemn ibex]

I mean, BDSM gear is expensive, u can find a way to chill with that

[boreal coyote]

thats more leather than wool though isnt it? 🤣

a wool balaclava makes you sweat like fk and makes your face break out real bad

[indigo oriole]

Anyone knows how to get Veles detector early ? Before mission with prof?

So ? Can u tell?

Haha

No thx im not that stupid

[boreal coyote]

XCreateItemInInventoryByID-Veles 0 10 1

type that in console

[indigo oriole]

Ehhhh yeah like I could. Xbox

[solemn ibex]

go to Yaniv station, it is a location right before reaching Pripyat

[indigo oriole]

Like I didn’t try that ?

[solemn ibex]

I see u have a good insight about this topic...

[indigo oriole]

Im in Prypiat early jump

[solemn ibex]

are u bri'ish?

[indigo oriole]

Maybe I am

But still no one could give me an answer. I guess u can’t get it early

[solemn ibex]

SOMETIMES the trader at Yaniv sells Veles, they have their offers refreshed every couple of days

[harsh jungle]

I think my save is cursed

[indigo oriole]

Im trying to ask devs which attachments did they move to Prypiat or give them at all but they can’t answer that for some reason. I’m desperately looking for Kharod coupled mags

The best part is that Veles is plot blocked but u can do whole arena quest right after leaving lesser zone

[cedar panther]

I think literally the only ones moved are the 2 saiga things I've picked prypiat clean multiple times now and haven't found anything new

[indigo oriole]

U alive

[boreal coyote]

yeah 🤣 but for really cringe reasons 👀 i used to go mountain biking when i was younger and its basically impossible to it it without one in the winter

[cedar panther]

Yes im still alive . only sick qtm have a damm cold 😂

[boreal coyote]

i gave you the only answer, wont be helping you again you ungrateful c*nt 🤣

[indigo oriole]

U again ? Haha

[boreal coyote]

who, me?

[indigo oriole]

Halt doggo

[boreal coyote]

but yeah that command is the only way to get it, stop sulking and acting like no one is helping when you've been helped by 3 people

[indigo oriole]

U need to chill. I’ve just pointed out that no one knows how to get it early and u got some sob story around it. Suck it up and go check ur bowl

[solemn ibex]

do u have like an expensive one? Does Ireland have mountains 👀

[boreal coyote]

yeah and there isnt a way to get it without the command, get a PC brokie

[boreal coyote]

i used to, i sold it. ireland has beautiful mountains

[indigo oriole]

What graphics card u got ?

[boreal coyote]

3070 🤣 i'm gonna upgrade though

[random star]

Only way to get it is when you reach In Search of Past Glory, I checked the traders at Yaniv and Prypiat, but no one seemed to sell them up until that mission

[indigo oriole]

U rich as fk 🤪

[boreal coyote]

nah i just have no social life 💔

[indigo oriole]

How old are u ?

[solemn ibex]

the game says there are artifcats that protect against psy thing, but after like 200 hours I have not see such an artefact

[boreal coyote]

27

[maiden grotto]

27 months, clones grow fast these days

[indigo oriole]

I’m 2 years older and all my friend an are getting married nad they don’t give a single f about social life. They only interested in spending time with their girl

[boreal coyote]

well yeah thats normal, i had a great social life years ago but then you get older and blah blah blah my girl left me

and now im a bitter old young man

[indigo oriole]

Getting married and not giving damn about ur friends ? For me that is not normal but i can’t do anything about it

Any idea how to get Rostok green ? Xd

[boreal coyote]

well the not giving a damn about your fiends part isn't normal buts its normalised if you get me? it happens a lot but it shouldn't

[indigo oriole]

Yeah that’s exactly how I think

[boreal coyote]

its because women are raised to be stronger than men these days, normally the women keeps their friends but the man doesn't, in the past it was the opposite and someday we'll find a happy medium

🤣 ❤️

[lapis dock]

It’s just the way that life works in the US, at least. In order to support a spouse many couples have to both work full time. So they often genuinely don’t have time for anyone else.
Gas is expensive, and time is invaluable

[boreal coyote]

you're not wrong but it's still a horribly way to live

[lapis dock]

I didn’t say it was good. No one wants to spend their whole life thinking about work, but… you know how things are economically.

I watched my own parents go from deeply social in their late 20s-30s. And then almost over night become almost totally reclusive. I feel bad for them

[boreal coyote]

its purposely set up that way to drive a barrier among those who live in a community making each house hold feel isolated. removing the sense of community removes ones sense of power, before if you hated what your local government was doing you and your neighbours would rally together and try to stop it but these days most people dont even know their neighbours, making it near impossibly to get a community rally going

people get their sense of community from the internet and look at their neighbours like the enemy

[lapis dock]

The internet kills passion, because if you’re angry or disappointed, you just write a tweet and forget about it.
So very little tangible action actually happens

[boreal coyote]

exactly, its all intentional

back in our parents time when some sh*t needed to be done in was planned in a dark smoke filled room where people built a bond with the passion they had for a common idea and good changes came of it, these days it gets planned out publicly online for everyone one to see so that every protest is full of agent provocateurs and brass. they start the trouble and spin the narrative that "a group of radicals stormed the streets" when in reality is hard working families desperately trying to make good changes in their own lives and those around them

[lapis dock]

Most people don’t know that the founding fathers planned their revolution in a public pub

[boreal coyote]

no one cares about America, you folks are struggling to pick what gender you are, you're cooked over there buddy 🤣

[frozen geyser]

With the sheer number of the players in this server we can repopulate Prypjat

[plain fiber]

Gas isn't too bad where I live. It's a little over $3 per gallon for regular last I saw and even cheaper if you get their rewards card.

[native furnace]

Gas in CA is 5 too 6 bucks gallon

[indigo oriole]

Anyone knows how to get Rostok green ?

[hardy totem]

Currently? No

[vernal lily]

You just do side quests from the barkeep. Unless if there's a bug preventing you.

[hardy totem]

Barkeep is loner, not freedom though...

Have you confirmed this works?

[plain fiber]

CA has always had expensive gas, I think it has something to do with regulations or taxes, I can't remember the specifics.

[vernal lily]

I've been doing stuff for that guy and the area turned green for me.

[hardy totem]

Current version?

[vernal lily]

I actually don't know about that, it was right before the recent patch. Is it not supposed to? I guess I got my easy way.

I thought it was going by the vendor that gives out quests for that base, not by faction, when you want the vendors green.

[native furnace]

It’s the dumb green plan thing

[vernal lily]

Plus, Sid already gives you quests at Rookie village, if you want that place green. I'm confused now.

[plain fiber]

Do you know what the actual name of it is? I'm trying to look it up on Wikipedia to read more details but I can't find it.

[native furnace]

I forgot what they called it but the whole idea of it is too reduce pollution and get rid of gas item

[vernal lily]

[plain fiber]

Well reducing pollution certainly isn't a bad thing. Getting rid of gas entirely however would be difficult, though we do have to consider that we will run out eventually.

When it comes to electric vehicles, I think a smarter idea would be to push for hybridization becoming the standard while we build up a charger infrastructure for full-electric vehicles. Additionally, it shouldn't be too difficult to switch over short-range commercial and municipal vehicles to full EV since they don't travel far and return "home" every day anyways.

[vernal lily]

I feel like I am in my ecology class reading this chat

[maiden grotto]

Spray can... it takes a few... but it can be done

[maiden grotto]

Ecology class?

[vernal lily]

I took it in highschool, there was two. One where you actually learn stuff, college level course. The other was more on how to handle things when out in nature, more towards outdoor living but with some science behind it.

[maiden grotto]

Fair enough, got a degree in it, love the subject

Just looking forward, to the summer survey season

[light island]

Odd question, I know stalker S.O.C had a multiplayer, will this 1 get 1? I'm more interested in the story expansions and all, but am curious if Stlaker 2 will also get a multiplayer? Obviously once most the bugs and other fixes are done

[charred nova]

It will get one yes

It will likely be riddled with hackers though

[maiden grotto]

They plan too, but really wish didn't

[vernal lily]

Same

[maiden grotto]

For this reason.

[charred nova]

Like all but the most advanced anti cheats can be easily bypassed these days by those who want to

[vernal lily]

I hate how on my laptop I use for work, it takes like 1-2 solid seconds to switch between channels.

[charred nova]

And the Russians will take this as a golden opportunity to ruin the game for everyone

[vernal lily]

[light island]

That's my main issue, cause I can see it done 1 of 2 ways, either a co-op story with a friend or a random stalker, or maybe small team based anomaly hunting squads fighting for the artifacts spread across a map

[charred nova]

Co op isn’t what it will be

There will never be official co op

Been stated as such since 2021

[maiden grotto]

But what it should be.

And it will be a massive mistake.

[light island]

This will also be a main issue and why I'll probably be hesitant on trying it, and hopefully an "unofficial" co op mod?

[charred nova]

Literally no

[vernal lily]

I just want the game to run buttery smooth with no bugs

[charred nova]

The entire game would need to be reworked for co op to work well

Just tacking it on would be a lot of dev time for a novelty feature

Completely pointless

[vernal lily]

Also being attacked by 7 bloodsuckers still a thing, it happened last night.

[light island]

This I understand and don't mind no co op 🙂

[sturdy verge]

Woahhhhhhh
Attttackkkkkk

[maiden grotto]

Maybe, but not a as good as one done with $$$ behind it.

As it would require a lot of work, which is probably the reason why they won't do it.

Is not the easy option

[magic vault]

Did anyone experience the inventory shuffling sound bug?

[charred nova]

I mean this isn’t a new thing

It was never planned

Since 2021 they have repeated again and again

We will not add co op

[maiden grotto]

Oh I know... And it's their mistake.

[vernal lily]

I had a sound bug yesterday, it was the comms making that static sound nonstop. But went away when exiting the game fully and loading my save.

[magic vault]

whenever I open my inventory I keep hearing this noise, started happening shortly after the ||Faust fight||

[magic vault]

Didn't seem to help me D:
Guess I'll keep trying

[charred nova]

Not at all

Co op would have sucked and also been impossible

[light island]

I guess it would take away from the "loner" feeling when exploring and the survival feeling when always got someone to watch yours or each others back

[charred nova]

The game already barely runs with one player loading stuff

Imagine it trying to load for 2 players

[vernal lily]

rip, I hope you find the solution. Because it went away after one try for me.

[charred nova]

You’d need to play in wireframe mode lol

Co op would much better suit something like metro exodus

[maiden grotto]

It is... If you was thinking about multilayer, co-op would be first on the list and thought of from the start, with co-op multi-player.

[light island]

May sound weird but the metro games are too linear for a co op? And focus more on your character for a co op to make sense?

[charred nova]

Exactly why it would be better

Easier to add

[maiden grotto]

Same for pvp... but they are still doing it.

[charred nova]

Yah because all the players would be on a fixed map

Not all exploring an open world

[maiden grotto]

And? Each pc/console will only need to render what it needs to render.

That's it. I can't see a reason why it would allow pc's down.

[charred nova]

In co op

The host has to do all the loading

[light island]

Omg what have I started...... o.o

[vernal lily]

Not this co op argument again

[charred nova]

Unless we have dedicated servers for 4 player co op

[maiden grotto]

Why?

Loads of games have co-op that don't require dedicated servers?

[light island]

It was a harmless and curious question, that's all, I swear

[charred nova]

Most of those games also don’t run as poorly as stalker 2

[vernal lily]

Mentioning co op is like mentioning GAMMA on this server at this point.

[hardy totem]

Bull - red towel situation

[drifting forge]

Real lmao

[light island]

Ah, makes sense

[maiden grotto]

Well that is down to them swapping engine to a shyte version of ue5.

Combined with some awful optimisation.

Still... Remnant, Remnant 2, X-wing alliance, l4d2...

So co-op is it nothing problem, its poor design choices

[charred nova]

Those games all run really well

[maiden grotto]

Yes they do... and co-op doesn't effect performance...

[light island]

Graphics engine isn't really an issue, there are plenty of UE5 games that look great and have multiplayer

But, its also more extra work on devs that are already tire and under stress atm, am happy with staller 2 as is so far, happy with bug fixes and patiently waiting on expansions 🙂

[charred nova]

Stalker is just a single player game

If you want multiplayer go play StalCraft

[charred nova]

I find it hard to believe having multiple players walking around a giant open world

Wouldn’t tax the host

[gloomy zodiac]

About your inventory shuffle sounds bug, I had this exact same bug on a previous save (it was during patch 1.1 or 1.2 can't remember)
If I remember well I kept going on the story and it went away by itself at some point (i would say when the story made me go toward the next region)

[magic vault]

After another reload, outside of Malachite it seems to have fixed itself: ]

[light island]

It wouldn't be much problem for host, be more issue for the person connecting, lag, sync issues, but if no co op that's fine, there are plenty games out there still for a co op multiplayer, just not many in the post apocalypse setting these days

[gloomy zodiac]

Yep but there might be a chance that it comes back when you return to malachite or at any other safe place, again, not sure about it.
But yeah there is no direct fix, just keep playing and it'll be gone

[charred nova]

You got dayz mate

[light island]

Nuclear apocalypse vs zombie, not really into zombie games anymore

[charred nova]

But stalker 2 isn’t even an apocalypse

Or stalker in general isn’t lol

[light island]

It isn't no, but in terms of those types games, I rather play a post / nuclear apocalypse game over a zombie game for the 100th time lol

[maiden grotto]

Outward... big open world co-op.

Years old now

[charred nova]

dunno then but

But they got stalcraft

And it’s free so

Go play that if you want multiplayer

[light island]

I played, that, it's interesting lol

Stalker and Minecraft baby lol

[charred nova]

I’m sure there is some stalker Minecraft mod pack

[drifting forge]

Well, Chernobylite 2 is out, not fully but it's available

[maiden grotto]

No.

I mean, I would rather GCS get their heads out of their own backside...

And rather than blowing millions on a pvp hack fest...

Spend the millions and put the effort to make it something people would want to pay with friends.

Of course, they won't... We know this...

So it's going to me another stupid decision, by a developer that keeps making stupid decisions.

[charred nova]

I doubt it will cost millions

It will probably just be the most basic multiplayer mode ever

[maiden grotto]

Pvp is money sink, if you want to keep on top of hackers, and keep it tip top.

[charred nova]

Maybe they will cancel it and I honestly hope they do

It will never be playable except in private servers

[maiden grotto]

This is exactly what I hope too

[charred nova]

Can make it semi playable with like easy anti cheat but

That only keeps the poor people cheaters away

The real cheaters easy anti cheat can’t do anything to stop

[maiden grotto]

It will be unplayable in weeks, if not days

Tarkov 2.0

[boreal coyote]

them DMA cheaters will never be stopped

[polar forge]

When I get to Warren shack in swamps is that when the timer starts for emission and chimera? Do I just run along the water edge on left side to the buildings or do I go further south into swamps? I guess I’ll just save and if I go wrong way I’ll load and try opposite

[lapis silo]

I really don't want them to cancel it. I just want the artefact hunt gamemode and the ability to host servers so I can play with my friends

The multiplayer in the trilogy is really fun

[charred nova]

Only way it will work is if it’s just private servers

Any type of public online mode will just be destroyed by Russian hackers

[lapis silo]

True

[solemn ibex]

artmoney on stalker 2

[polar forge]

I just escape swamp and I never even saw chimera. Didn’t get any achievement for running away or anything. Weird

[lapis silo]

It is bugged

[polar forge]

Dang so I will never be able to get those achievements ? Unless I play through again I guess

[lapis silo]

It took me my third playthrough to get the achievement

[polar forge]

Guess I won’t be 100% completing this game 😅

[vernal lily]

Before the previous patch, my chimera just phased into the ground. I heard it though, and still got the achievement somehow.

[polar forge]

I was scared on the lookout the entire time. Idk when it is supposed to spawn but I left from last beacon to Warren shack and took my time. Attacked by bloodsuckers and fleshes but that was it. Soon as I got through the shack emission happened so I booked it to bunker

[vernal lily]

But hearing what you're experiencing, I guess this bug is still not fixed apparently.

[polar forge]

I was going to run anyway since I was out of ammo in all my weapons except Grom and barely any bandages or medkits left

[polar forge]

Is it supposed to spawn before I get to Warren shack or after?

The shack you pass through just before emission starts and that connects to the island with bunker that the scanner is in

[vernal lily]

You should be getting the achievement before you get to the shack I believe, don't remember exactly. But I am pretty sure it is not after.

I remember I was just running, and saw the achievement. But I was confused since I didn't see a chimera. Apparently they can just fall into the ground or just not appear.

[polar forge]

That sucks then. I ran the entire way other than fighting bloodsuckers for a minute. Ran to shack and soon as I was through the emission started so I just sprinted to bunker. Even after I left with scanner I was worried chimera would be chasing me but nope. Nothing and no achievement other than the one for grabbing the scanner

[surreal token]

what are good uses for RPG?

[polar forge]

Shooting a chimera lol

[vernal lily]

Pseudogiants and chimeras just absorb it, from my experience

[polar forge]

It’s gotta hurt them at least 🤔

[empty hare]

People, the "G" in RPG stands for "Goodbye bro"

[vernal lily]

For me apparently is has been 'goodbye...maybe'

[polar forge]

It took me like 20 minutes to kill the pseudo giant at that bandit base with the collar on

I wouldn’t have killed it if it wasn’t for all the crates to hop on lol

The stupid thing runs and hides as soon as you get up on soemthing though. So you have to keep running crate to crate to get angles on it

[vernal lily]

I literally just lured it to several stalkers, snorks, dogs, rats, and a poltergeist for that one. Didn't feel like dealing with it.

The pseudo dogs had some chance but they still died quickly

[polar forge]

I didn’t want to deal with it either. But I didn’t want to miss out on the collar. Even though I have 2 of them and no idea what they are for

[vernal lily]

They are part of a sidequest

[polar forge]

When am I supposed to learn about this side quest ? Hopefully I didn’t miss it

[vernal lily]

The one the pseudogiant had was my last one for the sidequest

[vernal lily]

In the Name of Science

[floral elm]

Its very cool quest

[surreal token]

previous chimera i faced fell very fast with my SPAS

[vernal lily]

That's the name of the sidequest. Previous playthrough I think it was bugged, something was supposed to happen after you disable something but never did.

[polar forge]

I don’t think I ever got that quest started. Idk. I just find random spot with ppl shooting at a building. And they needed help so I help them. Then they let me keep collar

[floral elm]

You can cheese chimeras hiding behind doorways, they cant pass through

[polar forge]

Wait is it a quest after you do something at noontide base?
