imagine actually paying attention to 76's lore

[unkempt vault]

They gave the Brotherhood reason to not even bother with outsiders

[weary hedge]

Mfs be down bad

[wooden walrus]

like it was a real game instead of an excuse to haha lol funni multiplayer

look mom I'm playing the banjo with my friend

[charred nova]

fuck bro

where is jett

[wooden walrus]

we're both wearing party hats isn't it hilarious

[static lark]

The Free States were a bunch of people around the US (we only see the West Virginia ones) who sensed something was up with the government supporting VT so diehard

was gonna tell him new season doctor stone is gas as hell but guess it'll have to wait smh

[echo nimbus]

hello

[charred nova]

AYO

bro

new season doctor stone is so good

[echo nimbus]

[charred nova]

i finally caught up

[weary hedge]

Peak gameplay wdym

[echo nimbus]

now read the manga cuz u can't wait like me fr

[static lark]

They had a senator (can’t remember the guys name but he was kinda badass) and he openly criticized the government and was doing his best to figure out what was up and he was very close to proving the existence of the Enclave and that they were controlling Americas government

[charred nova]

almost did with tanya the evil bro

its been 6 years brother

and still we kept on waiting

[echo nimbus]

i mean if u had the patience to wait for stalker 2 ur prob fine lol

[static lark]

Anyway the free states like 2 weeks before the bombs drop literally left the US and we’re making their own shelters and everything

[charred nova]

bro studio nut was like bro we making season 2 fr then made like 3 other anime instead

BUT

the studio nut production slate is finally clear

WHICH MEANS

[static lark]

Whilst trying to disrupt the enclave with support of the senator

[charred nova]

2026 brother im telling yah

[echo nimbus]

the cope continues

[static lark]

They were worried the government was sending in spies

[charred nova]

nah one of the employees has a youtube channel and they talked about a documentary apparently regarding the making of season 2

[static lark]

The government did a huge smear campaign against the free states before the bombs drop, even went so far to make it illegal to sell groceries to anyone related to the free states

Appalachia didn’t get hit even 1/3rd as hard as everywhere else so the free states were under the impression that the government was still up and running and still trying to disrupt them so they didn’t trust anyone and kinda just tried to stay to themselves

[charred nova]

tbh if i wasted that much of my time being scared of the government id never get to enjoy anything

[static lark]

The Free States entire schtick is “we smell something fishy with the government, we don’t trust them, im not fw this at all so im leaving”

They ended up being right but they never got to learn it cause they got wiped by the scorched

[charred nova]

until the government tries to send me to jail for saying gamer words me and the government are chilling

[static lark]

Move to the uk

[charred nova]

bro nah

[static lark]

Why not bruh

I hear it’s nice

[charred nova]

they will send me to jail for my spicy political opinions

[static lark]

Free speech eh?

[charred nova]

ill say something mean about a certain people on twitter and find my self facing 5 years in jail

[static lark]

Ooo I could get really spicy but I kinda like this sever so im gonna shut tf up

[charred nova]

true story btw

see if you become a moderator

then you can come post in the moderator politcs channel

[static lark]

I’ll post my best friend’s (who died) favorite song which has some no no bad words in the lyrics and be charged with hate crimes

(Real story btw)

[weary hedge]

You’ve gotten a lot farther than you should have, but then you haven’t met Frank Horrigan. Your rides over mutie. Time to die.- Enclave Daddy🇱🇷

[static lark]

He’s a mutant

[charred nova]

think you got what it takes to become one of the elite

[weary hedge]

Purposefully a mutant*

[charred nova]

and fist fight the other mods in a political cat fight

[static lark]

My problem with the Enclave is they wanna murder everyone who’s “genetically impure” with the FEV…. UNTIL they get a super soldier accidentally then those “genetically impure” are “ok”

[hallow shadow]

Are there Tryouts?

[charred nova]

no

you have to pass the vibe check

[hallow shadow]

Shucks

[static lark]

I thought you were chosen

[charred nova]

i was

because i passed the vibe check

[static lark]

So then everyone is

[hallow shadow]

Welp. I’m boned.

[weary hedge]

I mean they are the type to do anything to complete their mission so yeah. Not far fetched of them to do something like that

[primal nimbus]

Is it me or are the Spartan Rangers the Metro Duty?

[charred nova]

if you hit level 25 i might see if you can pass the vibe check we will see

[static lark]

Not true

[hallow shadow]

I just hit 30.

[static lark]

He literally became a mutant on accident

[weary hedge]

The enclave literally did that to him wdym

[hallow shadow]

MY INTERNET IS BACK

[static lark]

After he got in contact with the FEV he got experimented on by the enclave

[hallow shadow]

A whole hour ahead of schedule, too!

[primal nimbus]

Now lets turn it off

[charred nova]

the cabal would have to agree

[weary hedge]

Horrigan was exposed to FEV during a mission to the Mariposa Military Base, causing him to begin mutating into a super mutant. But they enhanced his mutations to become the monstrosity that he is 🤷‍♂️

[hallow shadow]

Fair enough.
Honestly, I have the time to dedicate.

[hallow shadow]

Plz no.
Some construction company cut the line, this morning.
It’s now 23:00 for me.

[static lark]

Yeah the enclave didn’t give him the FEV he got accidentally got into contact with it

[charred nova]

NO WAY BRO

its 23:00 for me too

WE LIKE BROTHERS BRO

HOLY SHIT

[static lark]

Then after he did the enclave started fuxing with him and made him cybernetic and crap

Which turned him into a super soldier

[hallow shadow]

I lost internet this morning, cause some chucklefunk cut the fiber optic.

[static lark]

Cause hypocrisy 👍

[hallow shadow]

It just came back.

[weary hedge]

Yeah but he was genetically modified to become what he is

[static lark]

Yeah after he got fuxed into a mutant

[static lark]

Erm ok

[weary hedge]

which allowed him to single handedly handle a lot of their problems. Dude was a death machine and got killed by plot armor

[charred nova]

you haven't gotten into any large fights with anyone that you started so far so your doing well 👍

[static lark]

Still shows enclave hypocrisy

[static lark]

I haven’t really engaged in any fights besides telling people to fux off

[weary hedge]

Nah it shows they are smart

[charred nova]

THATS WHAT WE ARE LOOKIN FOR SEE

stability

[static lark]

They also got beat 2 times once by a tribal and once by a random vault dweller

[charred nova]

and rage baiting

[weary hedge]

Plot armors a helluva thing huh

[static lark]

The response is gonna be “plot armor”

[hallow shadow]

I was gonna say, aren’t the Mods super good at antagonizing?

[charred nova]

of course

[hallow shadow]

[weary hedge]

I’ve seen some crazy variations of this meme😭

[charred nova]

me too

most of them are from china

and its some dude just killing a ton of people with a truck

[weary hedge]

Lmao sounds about right

[charred nova]

average china live leak video

[static lark]

You ever see the one where it’s the footage from that one terrorist attack in NOLA earlier this year?

Where the dude drives a F150 through a crowd

[charred nova]

nah but lets not dive into that topic further

[static lark]

oh but talking about Chinese people getting hit by a truck is ok

[charred nova]

yah thats not specific

Jack look what you’ve done. Ur destroying the youth 😂

[hallow shadow]

I tried out for NOLA-PD, back in the day.
When the Game of Thrones finale was on.

I was waiting for my results, overnight.

Three people died.

[charred nova]

i don't destroy anyone when i drive unless you count my clutch as a person

[hallow shadow]

So happy I didn’t get accepted.

[charred nova]

cus then yah that guys probably dead

-# stupid electric throttles man

[static lark]

Yeah blame the throttle

[charred nova]

hahaha

never had the issue with my miata

cus the throttle is mechanical

[static lark]

Have you considered you don’t know how to drive?

[charred nova]

predictable

[weary hedge]

I’m just out here tryna score points like I’m playing subway surfers

[charred nova]

yah maybe but i knew how to drive my miata

so i guess i use to know

and have since forgotten how

[static lark]

It’s a Miata my 2 year old nephew could drive one

[charred nova]

yah

cus its got mechanical throttle

if i could install one on my subaru i would

[static lark]

cause it’s not a real car

[charred nova]

your telling me

its got no TURBO

its barely a car

[hallow shadow]

That poor Subie

[static lark]

It’s a roadster for 16 year old girls

[charred nova]

pf

[static lark]

Also aren’t you supposed to be a lesbian to drive a Subaru

Isn’t that like a requirement, it won’t turn over if you’re not

[hallow shadow]

Or is it the Miata that’s lacking?

[charred nova]

well im male so i guess i could be a lesbian

that would be accurate i do like women

[static lark]

I’ve genuinely never met a Subaru owner who wasn’t just very very very lesbian

[charred nova]

well its got a manual

[static lark]

… do you also possess female reproductive organs

[charred nova]

so its different

[charred nova]

not that im aware of

[static lark]

tf

How are you not aware of what organs you possess

[charred nova]

ive never cut my self open to check if they are there or not

so im just guessing

[static lark]

ooo this conversation could get really spicy too

[charred nova]

alright

lets stop

https://tenor.com/view/minion-never-goon-goon-cigarette-bad-ass-gif-5598618633103076947

[static lark]

I’m not a mod I don’t have the right to talk about this

[static lark]

Not in that way you Cracker Jack

Tf would I goon to people cutting themselves open

[charred nova]

idk man ive met some insane people in my day

would not be the most insane person ive met

I WISH

i could show you the dm exchange i had the other day

if you become a mod you'll get to see

[static lark]

im into mentally unstable women who dye their hair…. Im not into mutilation

I was gonna make a joke but I’m gonna not

[charred nova]

i made it as much as i can permit

[static lark]

I don’t have the golden name protections

[hallow shadow]

So… If Ranni is a Lunar Princess, and the moon comes out at night, and night is the absence of starlight, and the absence of starlight is dark, and darkness looks black, and the Moonlight Alter is a plateau, and a plateau is a mesa, Half Life 3 confirmed.

[weary hedge]

Ain’t no way😂

[charred nova]

i don't get this referance

[hallow shadow]

I’m cooking, here, I swear.

[weary hedge]

I better get to see half life 3 before I die

[hallow shadow]

Elden Ring

[charred nova]

alright thats a enough

lets stop

[static lark]

Half Life 3 is never coming out

[charred nova]

actually it might be

[static lark]

Gabe is too busy on his boat

[charred nova]

gabe hit the gym

[weary hedge]

They have no excuse

[static lark]

I need that guys life he just lives on a boat and does minimal work

Like he works but does he really “work”

[charred nova]

have you not been following the source 2 leaks

[weary hedge]

No I don’t trust leaks. Just give me the game

[static lark]

I saw they’re making what’s it called again

[charred nova]

half life X

[static lark]

The sandbox game I can’t think of its name

[charred nova]

is what the leaks called it

[static lark]

Garry’s Mod 2

[hallow shadow]

It shadow dropped like three weeks ago, dude.

[charred nova]

im telling you bro

one of these days their gonna get gabe to come on stage one last time

[static lark]

Gabe is too busy on his boat

[weary hedge]

I’ll shed a tear if they do😂

[static lark]

When Gabe dies steam is cooked I just hope everyone realizes this

[charred nova]

no

this is not true actually

steam is already entirely run by people gabe put in charge

if he dies they will just keep doing what they are already doing

[static lark]

Then who chooses the people after them?

[weary hedge]

I don’t think so. Steam has been heading in the right direction and will continue to for a long time

[charred nova]

that will be a problem for the future

[static lark]

Cross that bridge in 20 years?

[charred nova]

yah

20 years

🤝

[static lark]

We not making it 20 years

[charred nova]

then no problem

[static lark]

I give the world like 12

[charred nova]

ill have my rx7 before then

so ill be happy

[static lark]

WHYS IT TAKE SO LONG TO LEVEL UP HOLY

[weary hedge]

Can’t wait til nuclear warfare breaks out😔

[hallow shadow]

I’d rather the Covenant come glass us.

[weary hedge]

We’d be better off yeh

[static lark]

Fallout timeline?

There’s one thing all of fiction agrees on… 2077 is gonna be one hell of a year

[hallow shadow]

It’s easier to swallow than “we did ourselves in”

[weary hedge]

Shit would be more tragic than fallout displays it

[static lark]

Either the world is getting microwaved or we get cyberpunk

Where the hell did that Cheez-it go

[weary hedge]

I’m hoping for the cyberpunk outcome…

[static lark]

It’s still not that great

[weary hedge]

Better than being set back by bombs😭

[chilly leaf]

Eh, id def place cyberpunk in my top 20 games

[static lark]

Not what we’re talking about bud

[chilly leaf]

Oh lmao

[static lark]

Wrong disturbance in the force

[chilly leaf]

I was too lazy to read the backlogs

[weary hedge]

Well for the record I would too lol

[static lark]

Anyone here play citizen sleeper?

[chilly leaf]

I played a lil on gamepass a year or two ago

[static lark]

im playing it rn. Have no idea wtf im doing but it seems cool

[chilly leaf]

I just remember rng not favoring me at all

But it has a cool and unique narrative, forgot what ending i got tho

[weary hedge]

I’ve seen it. Looks cool. What’s it about?

[static lark]

Uh you’re like a cyborg thing that’s owned by a company and you escape but the company has a failsafe built in so as soon as you escape your body starts deteriorating and you have to not die

[chilly leaf]

They have a sequel iirc so thats something to look forward to lol

[static lark]

And not get caught by the company

A lot of reading but that’s ok

[weary hedge]

Huh I like that. How’s the combat or what’s the gameplay like?

[chilly leaf]

Nah like diceroll shi

[static lark]

There not really combat so far

[weary hedge]

Okay so it’s more of a narrative

[static lark]

You get a set of dice per cycle

And you use the dice to do things and the things lead to a completion of an objective

[hallow shadow]

Just tangled with my first two Bayuns.
Even worse than dogs.

[weary hedge]

That sounds sick I gotta try this game

[static lark]

You have separate skills which can help or hurt your rolls

[hallow shadow]

And of course 12g does nothing to them.

[weary hedge]

Shotguns become useless later on in my opinion unless ur using slugs

[hallow shadow]

Noted.

My Spas was empty before one of them died.
And it’s maxed out.

[weary hedge]

Yeah shits brutal. Ur honestly better off using ur dnipro

[hallow shadow]

Also, they read your aim-input, and hop around like Pasco-County crackheads.

[weary hedge]

Should I play the 1st or 2nd first

[static lark]

I’m doing the first

Then I’ll play the 2nd

[weary hedge]

Bet ima give the first one a go

[shell flax]

The Saiga says hi

[weary hedge]

The Gauss Rifle says get lost

[shell flax]

‘Gauss rifle’
Ah yes, money

I put the Gauss rifle in the same category as the RPG, cool and fun but only for when something big needs to die

[weary hedge]

Exactly. A rifle can handle everything else perfectly

[shell flax]

Im not using a rifle on mutants, saiga and Ram 2 works fine for me

Or, slap the underbarrel shotgun on like, Cavalier lmao

[weary hedge]

Yeah to each their own. A few headshots on the smaller muties gets the job done for me

[shell flax]

My gorilla brain from gears of war activates whenever I see a shotgun and it’s worked well for me so far

[weary hedge]

Hell yeah. Gears is good so I don’t blame ya

I play a lot of comp games like siege and csgo so that activates my monkey brain to use ars and snipers

[shell flax]

The Ram has quickly become my favorite, because I like strange/different guns

[weary hedge]

Fair enough. That gun has a very interesting design

[shell flax]

It’s on a list of stuff I’d want to get my hands on, mainly because it isn’t ruinously expensive like the Spas would be

It ain’t cheap but it’s not kicking you in the nuts like a Benelli

[weary hedge]

Makes sense. It’d be a fun one to play with. I bet it packs a punch too 😂

[shell flax]

Oh probably lmao

I’ve seen reviews on it and I’ve only seen like one issue and it was only from one dude

[weary hedge]

Nothing better than a reliable gun that’ll last you for years on end. Sounds like a good deal

[hallow shadow]

Wow. Rostok makes my Xbox chug

[weary hedge]

There’s a lot of people there and people around it😂

[shell flax]

Also, mewtwo, you’re using the spas, right?

[hallow shadow]

For now, yeah.
I’ve got the Sarah Connor Special.

[shell flax]

I can tell you where to get a better shotgun near Rostok if you want

[hallow shadow]

I noticed. There’s a lot going on, but I’m about to get rich in this arena.

[hallow shadow]

Is it a Saiga?

[shell flax]

Yes

[weary hedge]

The arena is fun and quite the challenge. Good luck stalker

[hallow shadow]

I’ve not seen one of those, before.

“Click-clack, and fight back”

[shell flax]

||Yantar (to the left of Rostok) the vehicle graveyard (big ol fenced in area on the map) there’s one on a platform near some buses and gravity anomalies||

Censored in case you want to find it yourself

[hallow shadow]

I appreciate that.
I cut through there, on my way back from helping the Malachite lady.
I wasn’t running all the way the hell back.
So I ran to Rostok, for a guide.

I’ll definitely go check that out.

[echo nimbus]

bro finding artifacts feels like gambling 💀

[weary hedge]

Literally. It can take forever to obtain what ur looking for

[shell flax]

Running two playthroughs on Xbox rn, one with A life finds a way, the other with living zone gold

Both are utter chaos in their own ways lmao

[echo nimbus]

actually i wish there were some gurantee spots or smt

[weary hedge]

What’s the difference? I’ve only tried living zone gold

[charred nova]

I LOVE GAMBLING

[echo nimbus]

💀 lmao

[shell flax]

Greg the Pseudogiant happily welcomed me to Pripyiat in the A Life finds a way

[ashen nebula]

Who play a gag

[shell flax]

Truthfully I’m still adjusting, I’ve been running gold so long I’ve nearly forgotten not being at war with everyone and their grandmas pet gibbon

[hallow shadow]

I’ve got SLZ-Bronze.
Am I cooked?

[weary hedge]

Lmao that sounds like a blast 😂

[echo nimbus]

bro why the artifact spawning IN the ground 😭

[shell flax]

Reload time

[weary hedge]

Start digging stalker

[echo nimbus]

if only we have shovels

[shell flax]

I confused Shay earlier because I had a Bayun spawn in the SLZ:Gold tutorial start

[hallow shadow]

Hey, Krieger, I mean, STALKER

[weary hedge]

Damnnn that’s rough. Imagine a chimera tho

[weary hedge]

If only we had combat shovels instead of a knife😔

[hallow shadow]

I’d absolutely use an E-Tool on someone.

[shell flax]

My experience with AFaW so far has amounted to

SEVEN THOUSAND FECKING MUTANTS, EAT THIS MAN

[weary hedge]

Straight to the dome of a bloodsucker

[hallow shadow]

The army teaches you to use your helmet as a last ditch weapon.
You can cave skulls in with it. We call it “Turtle-fking”

[shell flax]

I’ve seen more burers this run then I have my three vanilla ones combined

[weary hedge]

Hell yeah brother

[hallow shadow]

But a collapsable shovel makes sense.
Skif needs.

[shell flax]

Dig a small hole, immediately get giga cancer and die

[hallow shadow]

All over Garbage, for me. So many Burers, and I’m running Bronze

[shell flax]

Plus side, I’m absolutely stacked for mutant orders from malachite lmao

[weary hedge]

That’s crazy I just get a bunch of duty and monolith squads patrolling

[shell flax]

I also have a clip in #📸┃screens_and_videos of a Snork giving me a flying knee

[hallow shadow]

I see what looks like Sparkers? They’re all in PSZ-5Vs

[weary hedge]

Holy shit that boy got a VERTICAL on him😭

[hallow shadow]

It’s all bright green dudes, for me.

[shell flax]

That’s freedom

[weary hedge]

Yeah that’s freedom

[shell flax]

Spark are the schizo cyan and black camo

[hallow shadow]

Those dudes are everywhere, for me c

Like my Falcon suit?

[weary hedge]

They just b chillin smokin ganja and having a good time

[shell flax]

I was laughing for a good two minutes after that

[shell flax]

Exactly, that’s a Spark suit

Wrong message, throwing myself in the dishwasher pronto

[hallow shadow]

Bro!

[weary hedge]

I bet. That’s insane😂

[shell flax]

Like, if Skif can walk off a kick from those gremlins, I’m impressed

Shit would probably obliterate most body armor and the dude wearing it lmao

[weary hedge]

They are like little golems

[hallow shadow]

Snorks were people, right?

[shell flax]

Ex military yep

[weary hedge]

All mutants were besides the dogs

[fickle hill]

Ex military and stalkers

[shell flax]

Flavor text in 2 mentions you can sometimes find dog tags merged into their vertebra

[hallow shadow]

What’s the difference between Snork and Zombie?

[fickle hill]

Why would you ask that question?

[shell flax]

Snorks are wild animals

Zombies are dementia patients with guns essentially

[echo nimbus]

it took like 10 minutes but the gambling worked

[weary hedge]

W

[shell flax]

Also zombies are still conscious

[hallow shadow]

Really?

[fickle hill]

Some may have suffered from Blowouts

[hallow shadow]

They don’t seem all there

[echo nimbus]

but honestly i prob got the worst legendary artifact lol imo compass is the weakest out of the four

[shell flax]

https://youtu.be/mNPQggI4hfc?si=Mig4kkyMSUOUd3Nu

[weary hedge]

Most are but they are just being controlled by C-Consciousness

[shell flax]

That’s monolith Zev, not zombies

[weary hedge]

Still a W. That’ll get you a pretty penny

[weary hedge]

Nah zombies are too that’s why they don’t attack monolith and spark

[echo nimbus]

if i can reach rostok yes we will not be giving hamster our hard earned cash

[fickle hill]

If the lore is correct zombies are just living people who suffer from memory fragments

[hallow shadow]

Awww zombies….

[shell flax]

Dementia was the wrong one, think Alzheimer’s patients with guns

[hallow shadow]

That sounds more right.

[fickle hill]

FentHeads realistically

[weary hedge]

Ima play some clear sky. I needa finish this playthrough so I can focus more on 2

[hallow shadow]

This shit is so pretty, dude.

Aight. Let’s do this Black Sheep mission, and go earn some Kash in the Rostok Arena.

[wooden walrus]

zombification any% wr

[hallow shadow]

Oh good! My Ward badge helped me keep this Trachuka scientist out of trouble.

SCIENCE LADY GAVE ME 12K?!

That “Vicky” lady ain’t so bad.
I’ll probably be hanging around Malachite for a while.

She pays good

But, time to saddle up and check out the arena.
2v2?
Am I supposed to kill these dudes?

No one is gonna flip shit, if I start dropping bodies?

It’s like an irradiated Unreal Tournament, but with no respawn machine.

That arena looks nice. Plenty of cover nd corners.
These dudes are toast.

loads shotgun with malicious intent

Shame…

[graceful dirge]

I wish the arena had more fights for you than the handful it takes to become champion, something I look forward to mods bringing is some replayability & variance there. Would even be cool to set up and bet on NPC fights

[hallow shadow]

It’s only a few rounds, to max it out?

Shucks.
I’m currently AFK, having a cigarette.
Then I’m hopping in there, and rocking worlds.

This arena is dogshit, actually. It’s a psi dog, of course.
I can’t peg the original.

[frigid hill]

a_lvl_5_mewtwo has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hallow shadow]

Blegh.

If it weren’t for the fact that I accidentally wounded it, and saw blood on the original, I would’ve died.

These dogs are straight gigacancer

[hallow shadow]

The incessant door creaking is harder to handle than the entire arena.

A CHIMERA?!

[neon elk]

S.t.a.l.k.e.r is such a good game that USSR made chernobyl into a real thing

[hallow shadow]

IT EATS SO MANY BULLETS

[hallow shadow]

Glory to Ukraine!

[weary hedge]

Yes you have to kill an angry kitty with a rifle😂

[hallow shadow]

That was intense. Ohhhh man.

I killed him, and… I crashed.

What the hell?

I drop Tyrant, and… Dashboard.

Ok. Let’s see if I can do it, twice… Dammit.

Ok.
Round 2 wasn’t bad.
Tyrant had all his shit!
That’s not cool!

[weary hedge]

He’s not too bad if you get some high ground on him

[hallow shadow]

I let him pick, I got to use some crazy revolver.
Smoked him in the face.

BLAO
BLAO

Doneskies

[weary hedge]

Easy Koupons

[hallow shadow]

easy

But yeah.
Now it’s time to finish this story.
Go meet up at Wild Island.

[shell flax]

I call chimera the unholy bastard child of a mountain lion and a grizzly

[hallow shadow]

I call that thing sheer terror.

[shell flax]

The trilogy doesn’t really do justice to how MASSIVE chimera are

[hallow shadow]

It was a pretty aggressive mutant.
That thing was cool.

[weary hedge]

Facts but they are a pain in the ass to deal with compared to s2

[shell flax]

Like, I’m pretty sure they’re nearly as tall as Skif while on all fours

[hasty mauve]

How is this game still a absolute mess and unplayable at the best of times. Its been out a year and about to release on another system and its a absolute joke

[hallow shadow]

Just upgrade?

[hasty mauve]

AI dumb af then shoots you across the map

[weary hedge]

It’s actually playable on certain specs. Just depends on ur setup

[hallow shadow]

Mods can fix that.

[hasty mauve]

100 dogs chase you forever with a hit system that clearly dont work

[weary hedge]

If you check the roadmap they have plans for fixing the ai. They are working on bugs and optimization first tho

[hasty mauve]

So mods is no excuse for a broken game but keeps players returning

[hallow shadow]

Just upgrade, bro.

[hasty mauve]

Oh there still working on it sorry I didn't realise once I paid silly old me thought id be getting a working product

[weary hedge]

It’s been clearly stated by them it’s a work in progress. You should do your research before throwing money at something

[hasty mauve]

Honestly you think this is acceptable for any game dev to do this its cyberpunk broken and they know it

Where does it say wip or beta?

[weary hedge]

Again do ur research before throwing money at something. A game doesn’t need the beta title to show it’s in development

[hallow shadow]

You’re not breaking any new ground, here, Copernicus.
Everyone else understands the game is flawed.

I’m not saying you have no right to be upset, and say how you feel.
But this ain’t how you do that.

Go ask for a refund, and QQ

[hasty mauve]

So to be clear the response here is

Spend more money on a upgrade that fixes nothing
Wait another year so thats 2 more years since I paid for product
Look at road map of promises that will trickle out over time.....wow

[hallow shadow]

So to be clear: You’re not saying anything anyone hasn’t said before.
2: There’s a roadmap, so you have choices.
Be patient, or be SoL.

[hoary crest]

Ugh, how delightful

Slavjank is slavjank, not like the older games were any different

[hasty mauve]

So because many have said the same im not welcome to vent here ok nice

[weary hedge]

Welcome to life bud not everything caters to ur needs. Game production takes time and they are still learning the unreal engine platform

[hallow shadow]

You can vent, bro.
I did just say you’re allowed to express how you feel.

But consistently raging like this is going to get you squashed faster than your game will get fixed.

[hasty mauve]

Omg there still learning to work a engine for a product they started years ago have asked for money for and you find that acceptable and to wait. I see the problem with industry

[hallow shadow]

Then go play a different game, kid.
I dunno what to tell you.

[hasty mauve]

Im annoyed its a unplayable mess and people like you defending it

[hallow shadow]

Lemme just go flip the magical
“Fix This Guy’s Game” switch, yeah?

[weary hedge]

It’s too bad you learned this after throwing money at it huh? Unreal engine 5 is still in its very early stages. You would know this if you did ur research…sorry

[hallow shadow]

I’m on Xbox, and this game runs just fine.
Skill issue.

[shell flax]

S2 was my first stalker game, but my buddies told me about the trilogy and how jank it was. I went in expecting a fun experience, found one of my new favorite series and now I need to go through the trilogy fully, both editions

[hasty mauve]

So acknowledge its broken then say its fine 🙂 👍

Its fine to take my money 💰 🤑 💸

[hoary crest]

What are your PC specs out of interest?

[hallow shadow]

You’re trying soooo hard.
Dude.

There’s nothing we can say, or do.

[shell flax]

Request a refund

[hasty mauve]

Im on xbox nothing to do with pc or upgrades

[hallow shadow]

YOU CANT PLAY ON XBOX?

[hoary crest]

Alright, so you're a ragebaiter

[hallow shadow]

Bruh.

I have a Series S, unless you’re playing on a 360, you’re crying on purpose.

[shell flax]

Imma be honest, S2 is more stable on my series X then my pc

[weary hedge]

Go file a complaint to the company and stop ur whining to the people who appreciate what they got. Stalker 2 isn’t the only game people play. Some like to tune in and check in on updates

[hoary crest]

Chat, if this life as a loner ends in an unceremonious manner, which faction do I do the next life with?

[hallow shadow]

Hmmm.

[weary hedge]

Hmmmmm….Clear sky?

[hallow shadow]

Ecologist.

[hoary crest]

Unfortunately, thats not an option as the faction is defunct

[hoary crest]

I could do that tbh, not started as Ecologist yet

[shell flax]

Merc

[hoary crest]

Not done that one either

[weary hedge]

True I just thought they’d leave it in for fun but scientist

[hoary crest]

Alrighty, two votes for Ecologists, guess thats what its gunna be

Lemmie check their starting kit a moment

Oh... It is probably gonna be a short life 😄

[shell flax]

Dogshit?

[hoary crest]

ClassArtifactHunter: SSP-99 Ecologist, M860 Cracker shotgun, Buket S-2, UDP pistol and Bear detector.

[weary hedge]

Nothing like exploring and studying the zone making bank off mutant parts

[weary hedge]

Lmao

[hoary crest]

Probably wont die in an anomaly, but it'll be bandits or a rogue bloodsucker 😄

[shell flax]

Imma be honest: you’re better off fist fighting a burer

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah. That doesn’t sound like a bad start.

[hoary crest]

Its awful 😄

[hallow shadow]

Shhhhh. I was trying to be motivating

[weary hedge]

You can get a better start just playing as skif😂

[hoary crest]

SSP-99 has no phys' resist, and the Kiparis is 9x18 😄

[hoary crest]

Actually tho, at least I wouldn't start somewhere gnarly

[hallow shadow]

I need to get to the Sawmill.
Geeze, I’ve been doing other stuff.

[weary hedge]

You might start in a bunker near some dope stuff so it could be worth checking out. Plus who doesn’t like a challenge ?

[hallow shadow]

Dnipro, Sledgehammer, Falcon

I’m set.

[hoary crest]

I need to check the files for starting locations

[shell flax]

I need to go back to Pripyiat tomorrow and stock up on more mutant parts

The Bayun Farm must keep going

[hallow shadow]

I hate Bayins. More than dogs.

[hasty mauve]

So the genral chat here is mostly about mods?

[hallow shadow]

I’ve only seen two, and that’s enough for me.

[shell flax]

I’m sitting on 15 whiskers already

[hoary crest]

Oh, its Malachite or Rostok, not so bad. (I'm not starting in Rostock because its framey as all hell)

[hallow shadow]

May I have 7? So I can complete this Vicky Order?

[weary hedge]

Nope. I’ve beaten the game multiple times on vanilla

[hoary crest]

Same, but mods provide a different experience

[shell flax]

Giants are my nemesis

[hasty mauve]

Mods provide a different experience lol what a working one?

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t met one, yet.

[weary hedge]

You clearly haven’t played the game

[hallow shadow]

He’s still here?

[hoary crest]

Ahhhh, I forgot I logged out on my Loner at night D:

[shell flax]

Still not as bad as people complaining that stuff doesn’t work only for them to still be playing like, 1.1 lmao

[weary hedge]

Yeah he’s probably still riled up he can’t get around getting slept on by the average mutant and npc

[hoary crest]

Consoles have mod support anyway so 🤷‍♂️

[shell flax]

Or the flood of people complaining game broke when using incredibly out dated mods lmao every update

[hoary crest]

Install Better Ballistics and have fun raging when you get one-tapped by that Bandit you didnt see

[weary hedge]

Literally all it takes is some common sense to play the game

[hoary crest]

Oh boi, its gunna be awful with the engine upgrade patch 😄

[shell flax]

Dude I’m so excited for that

[hoary crest]

Ditto, maybe Rostock won't run at 20 FPS anymore 😄

[weary hedge]

Fr it’ll most likely break every mod but I’m sure they will get updated quick and allow us to have more

[shell flax]

I also saw some of the features UE 5.5 has and it’s just like, it’ll open so many more doors for both the devs and modders

[upbeat basin]

How does mutant looting work exactly, is it a percent chance based on the enemy? Cause higher tier enemies like controller or poltergeist seem to always have it, where as wild hogs and fleshs have it about 20 percent of the time

[hoary crest]

Probably yeah, I wouldn't be surprised, though there are a couple im concerned about not working after the patch. I'm using an outdated version of something to remove the anomaly warning beep and I will be quite upset if that no longer works as its not been updated in ages but somehow still works

[shell flax]

Also maybe Skif won’t dislocate his elbows while sprinting with a gun

[weary hedge]

It’s only a chance you can harvest parts

[shell flax]

Stuff like controllers, chimera, burers and giants are a 100% chance in my experience

More common mutants are much lower but since they’re everywhere it adds up quick

[weary hedge]

It’s a high chance but not 100 I’ve gotten a few chimeras not drop anything. Same with burers. But that could also be a bug. I’m not sure on that

[shell flax]

Also the huge thing with 5.5 I think will help the game immensely: the new lighting system

[hasty mauve]

Yes lighting is a big problem isn't it shame a modder hasn't fixed that

[shell flax]

https://tenor.com/view/job-jumpscare-job-application-job-meme-job-jumpscare-gif-5102454363566376023

[weary hedge]

Don’t you have a cod battle pass to buy?

[hasty mauve]

Might aswell get paid to do half a job and get a unpaid Modder to fix my shit work yeah

[shell flax]

I’d genuinely rather play league professionally then anything you code

[hallow shadow]

Hey guys, I just found Rosin..
When it says “Weight:Weak”
does that add to my carrying capacity?

[shell flax]

3 kg

[hallow shadow]

You ain’t gonna do nothing but cry.

[hallow shadow]

Thank you.

[hasty mauve]

Just get a weight mod

[still current]

[hallow shadow]

I’m already enjoying this game, dawg.
On Series S.
Cry. Harder.

[still current]

Bro insisting on cheats

[shell flax]

Genuine question: did you join the server only to whine?

[hasty mauve]

Glad your enjoying it on hardware that holds games back

[weary hedge]

Be honest what are all the reasons the game is unplayable to you?

[hallow shadow]

You’re ON Xbox, you effing fool!

[shell flax]

Also, Rahmi, you got any Standalone mod recs for me? Been meaning to start getting more on the list

[hasty mauve]

Not the S that causes devs issues i dont

[hallow shadow]

I have the weakest console on the market, and it’s chugging this game like water.

YOU just have skill issues.

[shell flax]

I’m on series X and the game is completely playable, do you beat your Xbox mercilessly or something?

[hasty mauve]

Doors locked so cant finish quests
Sponge enemies
Stupid stamina system
Empty world
To name a few

[hallow shadow]

Whatever. I can’t engage with you, kiddo.

You’re not even good at ragebait.

[still current]

Modkit is what truly concerns modders at this point. Phase two will come soon, and that'll help they quite a lot. Engine update will definitely help, but the kit is rather essential for potentials to expand

[hasty mauve]

You know the games a mess because your all using mods to fix it yet someone complained and you all attack

[shell flax]

Vanilla gunplay is bearable, just don’t shoot people in the chest

[hasty mauve]

Why do you all assume its a skill issue?

[still current]

Spacial anomaly, goldsphere. NLC etc..

[weary hedge]

Awesome now let’s work on a solution together. First things first

1. Which doors are locked?
2. Install Better Ballistics mod within the game for a better balance
3. Obtain an Artifact called Thunderberry it will give you infinite stamina because it’s rare.
4. Install a mod that improves alife I recommend Shay’s golden zone
5. Id like to hear more

Ofc the mods are just temp fixes until the devs continue to update our beloved game

[hasty mauve]

Yay someone with a brain

[split viper]

glaze

[weary hedge]

I want you to enjoy the game that I do but you need to express specific reasons instead of coming in here saying “is this game still dogshit”

[still current]

[hasty mauve]

Again im not using mods to fix the game as its not the way i play. Your all entitled to play the way you like.
I think I will simply get a refund and wait and see if the devs actually can fix half the mess they made.

[still current]

Yeah

Instead of straight complain, it would be best to state the problem or at least embed those in complaints

[weary hedge]

Perfect I’m glad you’ve figured it out

[hallow shadow]

Bro. We are offering you a workaround.
Mods aren’t “fixing” the game.
They make it different.

You’re refusing to accept what we say, because none of us can just give you what you want.

[still current]

That way, one would be able to help you with either info or solutions

[hallow shadow]

Then play vanilla, and git gud.

[shell flax]

Everyone I see a white name pop in randomly all I can thing is ‘who the Doug dimafuck are you’

Good damn my internet took a moment on that one

[hallow shadow]

All it said was “glaze”

[weary hedge]

It’s always some rage bait bs

[hallow shadow]

Dang.

Wish these kids had better things to do.
Like… I dunno… Explore the Zone?

[hasty mauve]

Whats your issues with kids ffs

[weary hedge]

Yeah I mean there will always be people complaining about how certain things are but I’d like to help them understand 🤷‍♂️

[hallow shadow]

I’m calling you a child, nerd.

[hasty mauve]

You adult

[still current]

Knock it off already this whole thing is starting to ache my soft brain

[hallow shadow]

Dang. Another crash.

Talking to scar.

Must be because I spent all that time in Rostok.

[weary hedge]

That’s my homeslice

[hallow shadow]

“But you’re angry. That’s why you’re not hungry, and couldn’t care less about others”

[hallow shadow]

Want some toast?

[weary hedge]

The zombie scene is awesome

[hallow shadow]

Maybe I’ve been running the game too long?
Or is it because I effed off, and did a bunch of other shit, on the side?
I’ve never had that scene crash.

[hallow shadow]

My first time seeing it was my first time seeing zombies.
Skif grabbed that axe, and I was all “LETS GOO!”

[weary hedge]

The S tends to do that over long periods. I never had issues with that scene

[hallow shadow]

I did come straight from the Rostok Arena, guided to Slag Heap, and sprinted to Sawmill.

[weary hedge]

Oh yeah you probably need time to adjust

[hallow shadow]

I’ve also only been playing for… 4hrs, jesus Christ

I guess it’s 0300. I can give it a rest.

[still current]

Cypher code?

[hallow shadow]

Hm?

[hasty mauve]

So a genuine question
You dont think its a issue the game cant be played for a long time without a crash or because you visited certain areas before a cutscene? To me these are game breaking issues and I just want to understand how and why you dont have a problem with that?

[hallow shadow]

Was ist das?

[weary hedge]

I recommend trying the trilogy in ur down time. Doesn’t put much stress on systems and runs like a charm

[polar silo]

What console you playing on?

[hallow shadow]

I uhh. Need to not be poor.
But I swear it’s on my to-do list.

[weary hedge]

I personally have never had a problem with that but the series s struggles with these things. It’s very well known my friend

[hallow shadow]

Bro. The thing is: Everyone who’s played this game already knows that.
Not only that, but we know the Devs are working on it, and we show our love and appreciation by playing anyway.

Maybe let’s start a war in your backyard, and see how well you program this shit.

[hasty mauve]

So do you think with these issues it should be released onto another platform or the devs should fix before playstation?

[polar silo]

People have been asking for it to come to PlayStation. It’s coming to PlayStation.

[hallow shadow]

I bet 7/10 PS Players are gonna be happy they have a game, in general.

[hasty mauve]

Im very much aware of the war and have family involved in understand that better than most.

[hallow shadow]

Ok then. QQ

[polar silo]

QQ??

[weary hedge]

Oh absolutely. It’s the reason they are pushing out this new engine update. But you have to take into consideration PlayStation players are well aware of the state the game is. We as a community have come to terms with the fact things like this take time. Nobody is hiding the fact the game isn’t flawless

[hallow shadow]

Quit crying.

[polar silo]

Feel it’d be easier to type the whole thing but alright

[hallow shadow]

QQ, Gg no re

[polar silo]

[hallow shadow]

Quit crying, good game, no rematch.

I picked it up from my younger years. Playing Halo 3

[polar silo]

Mid game ngl

[weary hedge]

It’s a classic you wouldn’t understand

[hallow shadow]

The story was cool, I played for the Comp.

I was lvl 50 in SWAT. That’s my jam.
Same with Halo 5. I wasn’t Champion, but I was Onyx

[weary hedge]

Hell yeah halo use to be the shit

[hallow shadow]

“Thanks for the Tank. He never gets me anything”
“Oh, I know what the ladies like”

[weary hedge]

I miss my boy sergeant Johnson. Killing him off was a big mistake tbh

[hallow shadow]

Best part is when you accidentally cap a Marine
“Sir! Did you mean to suck?”

[hallow shadow]

Absolute tragedy.
Johnson went so damn hard.

[weary hedge]

Love him and all the other npc comments on shit

[hallow shadow]

“For a Brick, he flew pretty good!”

The dialogue in those games was peak for its time.
Still holds up.

[hoary crest]

Got struck by lightning again ¬.¬

[weary hedge]

The alien ones are also hella goofy😆

[hallow shadow]

Those lines are all iconic.

[weary hedge]

Zeus must love you

[hallow shadow]

WORT WORT WORT

I won’t lie, I physically jumped, on my chair, first time lightning hit me.

[weary hedge]

When you play as the arbiter you can hear some really funny dialogue

[hoary crest]

At least it didn't kill me this time, last life ended to that yesterday 😄

[hallow shadow]

Shit had me spooked, I actually wait thunderstorms out, occasionally.
I used to like dodging that stuff.

[hallow shadow]

The grunts and elites have the silliest chatter.

[weary hedge]

I love sitting by a fire in them

[hallow shadow]

Like that one gif?

[weary hedge]

Grunts just be complaining about everything and act like little goblins😂

[hallow shadow]

Begging for food nipples.

[stark crescent]

someone joins the discord and complaints about the game and refuses all the fixes provided to him? hmm, classic story.

[hallow shadow]

Bro must be American.

[weary hedge]

Indeed. At least we tried

[polar silo]

Tbf the only fixes given were mods and upgrading his console

[hallow shadow]

Can’t talk shit. I’m American.

[stark crescent]

yea, americans are confrontational as F bro, they just keep pointlessly arguing

[hasty mauve]

Ah now it makes sense

[hallow shadow]

I don’t mean to.
I get… Overstimulated

[weary hedge]

Sense of entitlement will do that to a man

[hallow shadow]

Nothing makes sense to you. Shut up.

[obtuse veldt]

Can confirm, many of them are entitled bithces

[hasty mauve]

Grow up get a real name not a pokemon and wow starship troopers profile your soooo cool

[stark crescent]

but if hes on a console, he cant install mods, right? unless more got added to the mod library

[hallow shadow]

Wow, dude. You really showed me.

[polar silo]

There’s 5-6 pages worth of mods now

[tardy rain]

you guys wanna take a break from arguing and come insult my NVGs

[hasty mauve]

Call people kid and well looks like your the child mate with look i can quote halo lines

[hallow shadow]

That’s his precise issue. He refuses mods, because “that’s not how you fix games”

[hallow shadow]

They on console?

[weary hedge]

Tag the chat

[tardy rain]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1399623509830795468

[hallow shadow]

I’ll pisstake the hell out of those NVGs

[polar silo]

Bro just refund the game if you don’t enjoy it and go back to playing battlefield 4

[stark crescent]

is he new to gaming or something? thats exactly how games these days are fixed. developers are as trustworthy as russians with nuclear powerplants. bethesda has been doing it since 2008

[weary hedge]

Some people enjoy things brotha and that’s okay. No need to speak down on people

[tardy rain]

i think they look a lot better with HDR but I can't figure out how to take screenshots that arent ass

[hasty mauve]

So his attack on me calling me a kid and QQ when I said I have family involved in war. Thats fine

[hallow shadow]

The second one looks nice.

[hallow shadow]

Bro. You came in here raging at devs, as if you have no idea what’s going on.

I was just feeding you the same rage you were exuding.

[hasty mauve]

And ........ you rage and say silly things

[hallow shadow]

Yeah.
I’ve been here a minute.
I have a reputation.

[stark crescent]

look. calling you a kid was of course uncalled for. theres no need for name calling.

but.

if you did ask for a fix for your issues in the game, like balance, and you are given the option, and you outright dismissed the answer, then beyond that point, you are kinda giving the vibes you just complaint to complaint.

[hallow shadow]

His argument was “game unplayable”.
I said “I’m on Xbox”
Bro is also on Xbox, and somehow having a worse time than I am.

Forgive my confusion. But dude is crying for the sake of it.

[polar silo]

You’re using mods he’s not. Even then Vanilla gameplay is still fine

[hallow shadow]

Vanilla isn’t even that bad.
I played with some of it, today.

I had no internet. Mods won’t load.

[polar silo]

It’s definitely playable but there’s some glaring issues

[hallow shadow]

I’ve also played since release. (Off and on)

[stark crescent]

im still mostly vanilla and its just fine. enemies are as spongy as your aim. cause i always aim for the head. after some time, you can figure out who is weak to what. its not a hard learn. my only complaint is that enemies are too accurate for my taste. which is fixed by keeping your distance.

[hallow shadow]

No one has tried to convince him otherwise.

He just believes our willingness to wait for the Roadmap to be completed as glazing.

[stark crescent]

like. run around with a sniper more often. invest in flatness. headshot them, and suddenly the game becomes alot easier

[polar silo]

Enemies are still pretty spongy even with headshots. I have a clip somewhere of me having to shoot a guy 7-8 times in the head to kill him

But again use mods and problem solved

[weary hedge]

@hasty mauve didn’t you say ur just going to get a refund and that mods weren’t ur thing? What more do you want to converse about bro ?

[hallow shadow]

I used to have to dome Blind Dogs twice with an AK.

[polar silo]

Tiered weapons definitely hurt this game

[hallow shadow]

Ran straight to Red Forest.

Dnipro, my beloved.

[polar silo]

Ew

[shell flax]

I go for the free Kharod

[polar silo]

Also ew

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t even upgraded this thing.
All it has is a Collimator, suppressor, and Stendo Clip.

Shreds

Even on semi, o can three tap most bandits/humans and mutants smaller than Fleshie/Boar

I also have Better Ballistics.

[hoary crest]

Using one of those on my current life, upgraded FCG, muzzle brake and paired mags thanks to OXA, thing is a proper lead spitter

[hasty mauve]

I wanted to see what the main chat was regarding other than the know issues. Can see only mods seem to fix the game and thats not the way I want to play or devs intended it to be played or they wouldn't be mods but features. Im not here too troll but it did get out of hand when people call you names or disrespectful for little to no reason other than they are defending something they enjoyed

[hoary crest]

It runs down its dura' quick though with the FCG so it jams all the time 😄

[hallow shadow]

I hear the Kharod shoots nice and easy.

Gotta find me one.

[polar silo]

If devs didn’t intend it to be played with mods they wouldn’t have added an ingame mod browser my man

[shell flax]

You head to Yantar?

[hallow shadow]

If Devs didn’t intend for modded play, a mod browser wouldn’t be in the game, you fool.

[hoary crest]

Imagine playing a Stalker game without mods ¬.¬

[hasty mauve]

You know thats not what was meant mods are there to extend the life of a game not make it playable

[hoary crest]

Thats like playing vanilla Skyrim

[hallow shadow]

I’ve been there, but not actually looked around.

[polar silo]

Stalker games are notorious for being significantly better with mods and are known for being heavily modded lmao

[shell flax]

Look around, Yantar has some very nice loot scattered around in various nooks and crannies

[hallow shadow]

Bet. Thank you.

[hoary crest]

"Oh, fancy seeing you here" 😄

[polar silo]

[hallow shadow]

BOLT BE UPON YE

[shell flax]

[polar silo]

Sandwich

[hallow shadow]

Then get some longevity out of your unplayable game, and download some mods.

[hoary crest]

Classic breakfast

[hallow shadow]

That’s literally all we can say/do for you.
Or. You can suck wind, and wait for it all to get fixed.

Or, apply for a refund.

[hallow shadow]

“You know, I’m something of a Stalker myself”

[polar silo]

He’s got 3d 6h he’s very unlikely to get a refund lol

[weary hedge]

That’s fair. I get that. In all honesty bro the game is completely playable without mods. You just need to work around the things you don’t like. I know people get disrespectful when frustrated but i appreciate ur patience. I hope you can come around to figure something out in the game

[hallow shadow]

He’s waited that long to storm in here like that?

There should be a statute of limitations

[polar silo]

He’s had the game since 2024-11-20

Earliest achievement I can find

[hallow shadow]

DAAANG

[hasty mauve]

Waiting that long for it to be fixed thought id pop in discord to get the feel for the community. But it seems that community is all about mods and only mods

[hallow shadow]

Don’t effing reply to me, fool.

[polar silo]

A game known for being better with mods is all about mods and only mods? Who would’ve thought

[hallow shadow]

MODS ARE ALL WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT

How many times do we have to teach you this lesson?

[polar silo]

Old man

[hasty mauve]

You personally not teaching people anything apart from how to be a Internet hero

[hallow shadow]

Whatever helps you sleep at night, kiddo.

[weary hedge]

Alot of people in here have beat the game on vanilla. Mods just make the game more enjoyable with the current situation a lot of players are in

[polar silo]

It’s a SpongeBob reference bro ain’t that deep

[hasty mauve]

Mods probably

[hallow shadow]

They would, if you weren’t so damn allergic.

[ebon blade]

There are plenty of people who have played the game and finished it without the use of Mods.
Of course, nearly 9 months after the game released, and the Modding tools more recent, if
you come here to have a conversation about the status, you will meet some Modders.

[weary hedge]

Not to mention mods add a lot of replay-ability value to games like this

[polar silo]

Series is known for being heavily modded

[hallow shadow]

Bro wants to hear what he wants to hear, I guess.

Nothing we say is going to help this guy.

He can take the solutions rendered, or suffer.
It’s that simple.

[polar silo]

Seems like it

[stark crescent]

stalker call of pripyat was meant to be played with mods lol. weather and visual overhaul made the skybox higher res and just nicer to look at. emission overhaul added a huge emission wave, where its otherwise as bland as it is in stalker 2 now.

[hallow shadow]

Where is the Hub, in Yaniv, if any?

[polar silo]

Yaniv station

[hallow shadow]

I came up from Malachite, to do Science Lady’s mission.

[polar silo]

The big ol railway station

[hallow shadow]

Then turned around

Thank you.

[ebon blade]

Did you turn it green yet?

[stark crescent]

its just a theory, but i think some spots wont turn green until you advanced the story

[hallow shadow]

Malachite? I think so.
I finished finding her missing folks, then used my Ward badge to stop the other guy from buying the farm.

I got a Pass out of nowhere, and they initially let me in because Ward Badge.

[ebon blade]

Not true. I went there way before the story wanted me to go, just for the purpose of turning it green.

[stark crescent]

ahh. so just do the generic side missions for them, and they will turn green eventually

[weary hedge]

Ward badge will give you shortcuts throughout the story

[hallow shadow]

Storywise, I have to go see Scar at Sawmill.

I just started… Going places.

Zone be enthralling.

[ebon blade]

You can see how much I haven't explored in the other areas.

[hallow shadow]

Dang. You just run, too, huh?

[weary hedge]

A fellow explorer I see😂

[ebon blade]

This is where I am in the main mission at the moment.

[hallow shadow]

That blue mission, in the center. (Just inside Rostok)

I have that marker.
I was too tired (falling asleep in my chair) to hear what he said, and turned him down.

What was that guy wanting from me?

[hasty mauve]

Mods

[hallow shadow]

Dang. You’re barely ahead of me.

[weary hedge]

Sheeeeeesh😆

[hallow shadow]

Bro, if you wanna be pithy, I’ll get us both muted.

[ebon blade]

I've got over 1,000 hours into this game.

[hallow shadow]

Oh, I know you’ve got time.

I meant on the current run.

[weary hedge]

That’s legend of the zone hours right there

[hallow shadow]

That’s just dedication.
“Unplayable”, the other guy says.

[ebon blade]

My game started when the first patch came out at the end of November 2024.
I've been playing the same game for 8 1/2 months, just taking my time exploring.

[hallow shadow]

That’s insane.
I’ve been playing off and on since it dropped on Gamepass.
But I’ve restarted like 5 times.

I finally dedicated, after 1.5

[ebon blade]

Right now I'm in the Burnt Forest where I just fought 7 Bloodsuckers.

[hallow shadow]

I also have no TrilOG experience.
S2 is my introduction to the series, and I’m really not disappointed.

Except with the damn dogs.

[weary hedge]

That’s awesome bro. Sometimes I like to do that in my free time aswell. The zone is a beautiful place. What would you say you felt about the time you’ve spent in the game so far?

[hallow shadow]

And Bayuns.

[stark crescent]

dude. loot those cashes

[hallow shadow]

They have doodoo in them.

[stark crescent]

seeing so much purple hurts my eyes

[weary hedge]

Most caches are booty cheeks unfortunately 😆

Just stalkers keeping their junk somewhere

[ebon blade]

I love it. Once I read the storyline takes a downturn after SIRCAA (many side-missions dissapear)
I decided I needed to do a lot of deep exploring and do all the side-missions early in the game.

[hallow shadow]

Unless he’s got OXA.
Then his loots might not suck.

[hasty mauve]

Is that a mod?

[hallow shadow]

I’m traumatized from my first time clearing Swamps.
I’m not getting that far until I do other things.

That’s why Scar and Star are sitting on their thumbs at Sawmill, and I’m hero of Rostok Arena.

[hoary crest]

So uhhh

[hallow shadow]

Ecologist didn’t work out?

[weary hedge]

Hell yeah. But sheesh I didn’t know side missions disappeared after a certain point in the game. I’ll have to do the same thing after I finish my current playthrough which I’m already pretty far in. I’ve been loving all these spark missions

[hoary crest]

The Duty quartermaster is selling a Shield of Duty exo for 60k koupons... I don't think I've ever even seen that before.. Do I??

[weary hedge]

Full send

[hallow shadow]

Sounds like a new experience to me

[weary hedge]

How much did K’s did the scientist start with?

[hallow shadow]

Stack up, and dump in.
Buy it.

[ebon blade]

There honestly aren't any Duty suits that are worth it. The other Faction counterparts are much better.

[hallow shadow]

I only ever use the Duty guys as a Guide, if I’m that far North.

[hoary crest]

I've not even started that yet, not died yet

[weary hedge]

This is true. You can find most better suits just lying around 🤣

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhhh.

[ebon blade]

One thing I have done in my long game, is buy or find all the mid-tier armors and helmets and then upgrading them and comparing them.

[hoary crest]

Right, but im RPing individual lives, if I die, I swap new game files and start as a different faction, so I'm actively trying not to get clapped and I aint going into Pripyat in the SIRCAA suit 😄

[hallow shadow]

Bro lives dangerously.

[weary hedge]

What would you say is your favorite and the best suit for mid tier?

[hoary crest]

I've been struck by lightning twice in as many days, one life was ended coz of it, if my luck is that bad a random ass Monolith patrol will absolutely roll up on me at Pripyat 😄

[ebon blade]

What are you calling the SIRCAA suit? The gimped SSP-100?

[hallow shadow]

I know you didn’t ask me, but may I glaze up, and introduce you to our lord and savior the PSZ-5V?

[hoary crest]

Idk if its gimped or not, the one from Journo's stash

[weary hedge]

Bros just trotting through the zone in dalins suit

[hoary crest]

Ye, the 100M

[hallow shadow]

I feel like that would get me shot.

“Get that SIRCAA BASTARD!”

[hoary crest]

Also these stats are wrong

[weary hedge]

Spark would probably put a hit on you 😆

[ebon blade]

The SIRCAA version has 0 Psi Protection. I upgraded both the Discovery and the Survey.
The Spark version is the best one and my current suit. It has the highest physical protection
and you can upgrade it to carry more weight, and it has three shielded artifacts slots over two.

[hoary crest]

See #📸┃screens_and_videos

Idk if it was buffed or if it was a result of OXA, but it aint zero Psi-resist in my game

[weary hedge]

You’ve got some stalker with ur mods bro😂

[ebon blade]

You only have 3 artifact slots? I have 5 with 3 shielded.

[hoary crest]

Not got the money to upgrade it

[ebon blade]

I don't know how much your Mods have changed things but I still think the Survey is the best of the three.

[hoary crest]

Its also got Spork camo, I aint messin with that

[hallow shadow]

Falcon has Spork colors, right?

But the SSPs do have some nice stats.
I just wish they had more physical protection

[weary hedge]

You can get the physical up pretty high but I wouldn’t take them over some other suits especially if you plan on going into Pripyat

[hallow shadow]

Is there a Freedom equivalent to Falcon?

[coarse falcon]

It has now tho after update. Most in not all stats on stalker things online are out of date and wrong.

[hoary crest]

I did think OXA doesnt touch armour

10.5" barrel for Carmel in tecchy too, nice

[weary hedge]

Last I checked the Guardian of Freedom Suit was the best mid tier armor they provide and then the liberty exoskeleton for late game

[hallow shadow]

Dang. I traded out my Guardian for Falcon.

Guess I’m hunting Exos.

[ebon blade]

Duty, Spark or Mercenary

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.

[weary hedge]

Ur falcon is alot better bro trust

[ebon blade]

Duty suits may have slightly better physical protection but have less artifact slots and less shielded ones.

[hallow shadow]

Considering Duty is pretty Anti-Zone, that makes sense.

[ebon blade]

Agreed. The Spark suits are some of the best mid-tier armors in the game.

[weary hedge]

If you wanna shoot for exos go for a diamond or ruby set. The other ones won’t let you sprint

[weary hedge]

For real. I really appreciate how balanced they are and that extra psi protection

[hoary crest]

Only the Cuirass doesnt have a sprint upgrade no?

[hallow shadow]

I thought all but one suit let you sprint.

[weary hedge]

Cuirass and bulwark. Not sure about the liberty one

[hallow shadow]

Where are those?

[weary hedge]

Pripyat

[hallow shadow]

Is Pripyat story-gated?

[hoary crest]

Oh no technically there's three then if the Bulwark doesnt because there is the standard Exo aswell which you get in the story

[hoary crest]

Yesnt

It is, but theres probably ways you can get in there without reaching that point, Idk if they patched all the entrance skips

[hallow shadow]

Oh, then I’ll just be a good boy.

[weary hedge]

That and alot of the cheaper exos degrade and take alot of damage and cost you a fortune to repair

[hallow shadow]

I’ll stick to Falcon until get pushed for something better.
I pretty much tank everything, right now, and I haven’t even met the Nooners, yet.

[hoary crest]

I just wish Pripyat was bigger tbh

[weary hedge]

Run up the story until you hit Pripyat

[hoary crest]

More city, more gudder

[hallow shadow]

But the SWAMPS

I really don’t want do that shit twice. XD

[hoary crest]

Best moneymaking location in the game

[weary hedge]

The swamp part is short bro

[hallow shadow]

Really? How?!

[ebon blade]

I have three shielded artifact slots as you can see the third one with the Compass.

[hallow shadow]

I mean, it was. But for me, that was rough.

[weary hedge]

Oof that sounds really nice

[hoary crest]

Because it has the most dense concentration of anomalies that drop artifacts

[hallow shadow]

I really thought about buying that suit.

[hallow shadow]

Ahhhhh. Fair enough.

I’ll man up, and clear it out. Eventually.
Where is point of no return? Will I be warned?

[hoary crest]

Ye, you'll be warned

[weary hedge]

The story just gets better. Getting through the swamps is worth it

[ebon blade]

You should. It has one of the highest physical protections other than using an Exo.

[hoary crest]

Isnt that one super easy to get too?

Or am I thinking of the SEVA at Yantar?

[hallow shadow]

I got confused, cause I had already upgraded Falcon, and thought the SSP was gonna suck.

[hallow shadow]

Vicky sells it.

[hoary crest]

Ah ok, so yeah, I'm thinking of the SEVA

[weary hedge]

It doesn’t suck. Falcon only has a little better physical and psi

[hallow shadow]

I see that, now. Dang.
I might go swap out.

[weary hedge]

But the survey having 3 lead containers is really good.

[hoary crest]

I don't beleive it 😄

Second Liquid Rock from a stash

[echo nimbus]

WHAT

[steel yoke]

Or you can also have upgraded version of it in one of Journalist stashes, if you have Ultimate Edition of the game.

[hoary crest]

Part of OXA, randomized stashes, but yeah I got lucky an have had two out of stashes this life

[echo nimbus]

Oh damn i gotta try it out sometime 😅

[hoary crest]

S-tier mod

[spare canopy]

Or get a jumping mod as give skif a pair of legs

[hoary crest]

Yeah, thats a thing also, being able to properly ledge grab is massive

[spare canopy]

The fact you got 2 from loot drops... Suggests to me the chance % is set a little too high.

Putting me off to be honest.

[hoary crest]

I don't feel like there is any percentile chance tbh, it feels wholly random

More often than not I get a medkit, a bit of mouldy bread and a few bullets

[spare canopy]

I can't stand it when Devs put in jumping mechanics and you get over stuff you realistically could.

It's jarring and breaks immersion

[hoary crest]

It can be a bit annoying for sure

[thin apex]

I'm pretty sure there is a mod that emulates having a head height mantle by increasing the height you can do the normal mantle from but it's a bit OP

it's annoying there was no good parkour mechnics in the game considering how fundamental it is to stalker stashes and some anomalies

it feels like trying to traverse in a Bethesda game because you just have to like bunny hop around and sprint jumping is quite linear and clunky and jarring and mantling is essentially non existent so most of the time you just jump onto of the thing

[hasty mauve]

Surely there's a mod out there to fix all that?

Can't expect these developers to a good job when there's no need to Modder will fix everything they got paid for

Apparently its the stalker way 👍

[still current]

still going on I see

[hoary crest]

Eh, its decent tho, serves the purpose you want it to in such that it gives you more ways to approach combat, which is nice

[cobalt elbow]

Are there any plans on a (New game+) being added??

[smoky hawk]

how would that work?

[grave heath]

hello does anyone know if they are going to add early bird dlc from pre order content in the future in game to be purchasable ?

[cobalt elbow]

Lol I'm asking a question bro 🤣🤣

[smoky hawk]

a dumb one

[novel wave]

very unlikely

[smoky hawk]

altho, it should go without saying for a FO76 player

[grave heath]

most games do that tho

[cobalt elbow]

Go cry 🤣🤣🤣 because apparently your not helpful 🤣🤣🤣

[novel wave]

really?

[smoky hawk]

send your question to #📜┃ask-gsc

[grave heath]

will they reply tho ?

[smoky hawk]

hopefully, if they dont, assume that thats a no

[fringe tundra]

I hope they add a section in PDA for detailed stats. Like faction reputation, kills, deaths, etc.

I'm doin a veteran ironman before mastrer drops. At point of no return and it sucks there's no way to prove.

[shrewd needle]

Prove what?

[smoky hawk]

prove that hes doing ironman

[fringe tundra]

That I beat it on veteran, deathless.

[smoky hawk]

I assume

[shrewd needle]

Damn, people still do those kinds of contests?

[fringe tundra]

No. I just like t he game.

[shrewd needle]

Yep, so just play it. No need to prove. 😏

Or, you could just do a 'Let's Play' from start to finish on YouTube.

[fringe tundra]

Well I have recorded it.

[shrewd needle]

Put it on the toob. Or maybe Rumble or something, since YT going to shit.

[fringe tundra]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I was thinking to do a short or something of the end of the game and then reload save, cause ya know, and then destroy self to show that being my 1 death.

Then uploading everything to take on naysayers

[shrewd needle]

But why you care about naysayers? Do it 'cause you want to, not for them.

[frigid hill]

numenax has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fringe tundra]

Cause its about authenticity with me. I'll cause problems for myself just to maintain total honesty.

[shrewd needle]

But, like...it doesn't even matter? You know what you did...who cares about what others think?

[fringe tundra]

Because its a factor. I like to factor in things.

[shrewd needle]

Alright, then.

[grave heath]

if i have ultimate edition i get access to early bird ?

[fringe tundra]

For the toursit suit and veteran gun?

[grave heath]

yea those

[fringe tundra]

I have no clue. Sorry. If you don't get the USB drive after Needle in a Haystack for these two then I'd assume you don't, though I feel you should.

[grave heath]

is the gun and suit even worth tho ?

[fringe tundra]

If you like ironman and wanna have something extra stamina regen for going to Malachite early for the Falcon set then yeah Tourist is ok. But that and Veteran are negligible equipment. I have them and they just end up being extra sources of koupons for me.

[grave heath]

alright i get you its just good early game start gear

[fringe tundra]

Pretty much. In terms of defensive stats the freedom set you get near the Brood bandit camp does just as well.

But I usually go straight to Malachite for Falcon since its basically an endgame set you can get for doing some jumping.

[grave heath]

alright thanks for helping out

[fringe tundra]

Np, and sorry again you don't get them for having ultimate. I hope it helps to know they're negligible regardless.
