It doesn’t suck. It just definitely… Gets daunting.
Bait for the Bait God
Rage for the Rage Throne.
Essentially, Zev…
Stay moving.
Light armor is your friend.
I hope you get to play it, soon.
? if you’re speaking about helldivers i exclusively use medium with that extra padding perk ^^^ light armor will make you squishy
The trick is to not get hit, n00b.
you will get hit and you will pay for it
medium armor is best of both worlds
light armor is a jack of no trades and a master of none
Light Armor might be squishy, but it’s not all that bad.
The mobility boost alone is worth the trade off.
It is the trade off.
the mobility increase is not extremely big compared to medium
So move fast, and don’t get hit.
Yes it is.
Bro. Ditch the damage resistance Booster, equip Stamina. Run Light Armor.
You will live longer by virtue of being untouchable.
but you will get hit and you won’t be able to take it
the trade off is too little benefit for too much sacrifice
Why are you getting hit, scrub?
Didn’t you see my “Stay moving” piece?
Only home locations that you have to.
Helldivers don’t play that “hey, chill here” games.
Especially on these Gloom planets.
98.7% of helldivers get hit at least once during missions
You’re over exaggerating the squishiness of light armor.
it’s pretty damn squishy
i’m considering going back to ballistic shield + full heavy
idk what i meant by full heavy but heavy + ballistic shield
Have you played the new bugs? They one shot you in heavy armor now. 😭😭
ballistic shield blocks acid btw
I almost exclusively use it, and yes. I do get hit at least once a mission.
But if you move faster than a mostly-melee opponent (Terminids), you don’t get turned to chunks as often.
Hell yeah I’m excited to when i finally get the chance. But I think I’ll go with the medium build. I’m light on my feet but want to be able to take an extra hit or two. Also can’t wait to rock the ODST set oh my lord
Jokes on you the new variants are FASTER then you now. Because someone thought that was a great idea…
I be fast as fk boi.
I’m a whole land-feature away, using an Autocannon
Bugs are faster.
Not in Light Armor.
Yes they are lol.
They are legit faster than light armor is now. I
Coupled with that Stamina Booster? I outrun Bugs most of the time.
They made armor travel faster than light
The new variants? Must not have been on Oshaun then.
How the fuck they manage that
Arrowhead is being really really dumb as of late.
The new bugs are effing fast, yeah.
The Gloom doesn’t play.
But the average enemy is dust in the wake of Light Armor.
Being faster than they are. Especially when they leap out of the ground and jump through the air and one shot you.
I play like it’s Rice Paddies.
Light Armor, Liberator-Penetrator, Autocannon
Stratagems are mission-dependent.
Hit and run.
Oh, that makes more sense to be honest. I’ve been on the game since day one and I can tell you these new bugs are not balanced at all. They didn’t playtest this or QA test this nonsense.
Bro. That only the new bugs.
Not all the Bugs.
I outrun literally everything else.
Which is what I was exclusively talking about yes 😂
Yeah. See. The exception doesn’t become the rule.
Doesn’t change the fact that’s what I was talking about. Older variants are fine, it’s the new one that are the problem.
These new variants are either broken or unbalanced, or both. It is Arrowhead…
The new bugs are a damn issue. For sure.
Arrowhead clearly is unaware of ligma
The spawn rates on some of these Difficulties is atrocious, too.
Ligma?
Oh no.
Is that like Covid or something
Ligma balls
What.
It’s all over the place,
Dragon roaches are also broken, so there’s that.
Drives Miata
Claims to be in possession of testicles.
I’m telling molt you told me to lick your balls jack
Well I don’t drive it
It’s broken
Molt is too based to care.
Oh dang. What happened?
Engine needs to be rebuilt
I almost had to have surgery on my balls yesterday 😂
Kidddingggg
That effing sucks, dude. I’m sorry.
Deez nuts.
At least you don’t drive a 350z that car got issues 😂
I just use ODST with the MA5C and the SOCOM magnum, with mostly recoilless
If I was gonna drive a z
Also had a buddy who drove a Mitsubishi across the US and his engine blew up
It would be a 300z z31
You ship out soon? To avoid further ball-surgeries, always do PT with spandex. Dont let these fools trick you into running and shit with your boxers on.
Testicular torsion will bring you down, bro.
Average Mitsubishi
2 cylinder go crazyyy
I’ll take my Subaru boxer
The interior is actually made out of temu plastic😆
Yeah, February 23rd, I had a testicular torsion. Almost had to have surgery. They had to give me some wicked painkillers, went to the emergency room.
Like bro
Yeah. Do PT in spandex, hero.
I’d be driving a literal space ship
Of course you need it kitted out with the unicorn throw up
We in a Spaceship, Cuhh.
It’s green only

Too bad there ain't enough soap to wash THIS place. And whatever is...Sidorovich's got a monopoly on it. 😏
I would never wash this place
Oh I thought it was one of those RGB headaches
Gladly would...but show what? 😆
RED OCTOBER, STANDING BY
That’s how the car looks stock
I'd wash you out of this place, Jack.
Unfortunately I’m the one with the gun
I like their steering wheels and dials
Same
Good news...there's others with guns too. 😏
That red compliments nicely too. I like subtle colors
Yah but it ain’t you
What car is this from?
“Tank, load the Jump Program.” lookin ass driver seat.
Still.
Nissan z31
That looks too futuristic to be a Z31...
But it is
“Because I was inverted”
-Handsome Jack Cruise, Top Car
It reminds me of the Knight Rider.
Twin turbo v6 will be nice
That shit is cool as hell.
Like it’s got a fucken volume button on the wheel
Similar, but without the green RGB.
I’d drive the dog piss out of that.
In the fucken 80a
Japanese know their shit when it comes to cosmetic design
You getting the piss when you push Turbo Boost and face 69 Gs of acceleration.
That’s a name I haven’t seen in a while.
Bro, I make G Forces in the shower doing the helicopter that would make a pilot shit themselves.
Weren't there like...2 KRs? One being the Trans Am and the other being a 2010s Shelby GT 500?
That’s a car I haven’t seen in a while
I, uh...don't want to know... 😔
No inline 6
This looks similar, so...reminded me of that.
Beat off in the shower so many times… You get a hardon when it rains.

As much as I hate aging, I love the little things missing over the years
Dood...don't ruin my morning! 😆
Looks so lovely
Only if you let me.
That’s not my intention.
A bit too much lighting, but yea, it's actually nice and clean, NGL.
Not helping... 😆
Oh I thought these had v6 stock
Oh no
I’m saying
It’s a bummer it doesn’t have an inline 6
Then… Relax, a little.
That helps.
Shhhh. Take a breath.
Yeahhh at least you get a turbo on that baby. I wonder what the price tags are on one
Uhhh
Let’s check
I hate you so much...
Also, the other Knight Rider.
Gross.
Yea, that spoiler does look like shit, but it's still a Shelby...
I’m not a Mustang fan.
I genuinely hate these cars
According to fb market place
Why...do we have Mustang haters here?
They don’t cost much
Just get a hellcat
Because it’s.. I dunno. Blegh.
Though it’s an old Nissan so
I’m sure it’s totally fucked
I imagine so
It’s just a shiny Mustang.
It’d be rare to find one well taken care of for a good price
- 4 seating
- Displacement 5,408 cc (5.4 L; 330.0 cu in)
- Power: 540 bhp (547 PS; 403 kW) @ 6,250 rpm
- Torque: 510 lb⋅ft (691 N⋅m) @ 4,500 rpm
- 3.73 differential ratio
- 18 x 9.5" Alcoa wheels with unique Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires (front: P255/45ZR18 rear: 285/40/ZR18)
Blame Wikipedia if anything incorrect.
They are just too chunky for my taste
The Challenger is the EPITOME of chunk...
I don’t like em fat. Slim waist and aerodynamic
Have you seen the Challenger? It's basically a box. With a cockpit.
I've never seen a more boxy car in my life, save for the Nissan GT-R.
Hellcat still puts any mustang to shame
Even the S/C Shelbys?
Also, seventh generation Mustang rips on the track. Challenger can barely turn.
I like the looks of those yeah
Cause challengers are drag racing cars silly
FINALLY...at least some common ground (though I thin the sixth generation did good too, in the handling department).
So, basically a poor man's Bugatti, but without ANY luxury except space.
How that 400 HP SRT8 engine hauls 2 tons is beyond me, NGL.
Listen to a hellcat pure and you will be soaking wet 😉
And whine
BORINGGGGG
NGL...better than listening to Jack whine about inline-6 and rotaries, so point taken.
There are cooler cars for sure but they put the horsies to shame
Doesn't get more entertaining than this, trust me.
Let’s settle the debate on regular pavement and VHT: which is the quickest accelerating American car in history, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 or the Lucid Air Sapphire?

Demon rips, honest.
Hell yeah listening to her whine again brought back good memories🥲 ima finish this video here in a min

Sheesh yeah technology has gotten crazy. But the challengers will always be a beast in my eyes
😄
how many turks play stalker
Yea, just posted for the sound. Though I expected the whine to be a bit muffled, but still...impressive.
Honestly, though...I'll never understand modern drag racing...1/4 mile means it's over before it's started...
? 20 player are u seruis
me but i’m not oghuz
this game so good
I’m joking I have literally no idea
i’m from a different branch of turk than you
where are u from
you from türkiye or central asia
uyghur/karluk
türkiye
my brother was born in istanbul
Yeah the sound really carries. I agree with you on modern drag racing. The old school shit is where it’s at.
Trophy truck racing on the other hand still slaps. There’s some crazy beasts out there
Not just that, but 1/4 mile? Nah...dargs should be 1 mile flat!
I remember seeing a Ford GT from 2005 break the 300 MPH record in 1-mile.
Dirt Trophy.
Nahhh I’m talking race trophy trucks

Of course, it's not a Bugatti, so it can turn, but man...I just imagine modern Funny Cars and even Top Fuel doing 1-mile racing.
Such a beautiful car.
Long-ass gear ratios...
True. One of my favourites...too good.
Forget all the modern day shit. They strip the passion out of what the old cars had and still have today
Passion gave way to precision rather than feel...and that's where things went to shit. Drivers had to learn their cars once upon a time...
For sure. I mean the car game was destined to go too far for the sake of the market and new records. But nobody looks to those cars for taste besides rich dudes with too much money 😂
And even they do it to flip, not to drive. And those cars are meant to be driven.
Imagine buying a Ferrari or McLaren or Lamborghini only to put it i a climate-controlled hangar and flip it off for money.
Kinda like how lambo used to be
Pretty much. Typical market share ppl
Cars should have efi a manual gearbox and a cable throttle
Just like god intended
I’m not against that 😆

They are over hyped

This episode of “Jason Cammisa on the ICONS” is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagert...
Who was in charge of the credits? I just saw something crediting “fast & furious”
The over-hyping of the Supra was credited to FnF.
Also, Jason Cammisa is the GOAT!
M4 mentioned?👀 hell yeah
Yea; icons video, and he compares their histories all the way to the present...similar roles that took over each other's place.
Long, though, since an icons video. Seriously, his videos are just...
hello
That’s sick. I gotta check out more of this dudes videos
How’s it going Mr. Hawk
this is like a car chat lol
Yeah you joined a car server not stalker
good thanks
Kidding we just like to talk about other stuff from time to time
Hagerty posts his, so subscribe to them and besides, search always helps. 😏
Think his most recent icons video was on the Corvette, from the C4 ZR-1 all the way till the C8 ZR1. And man, it was amazing to see.
cool, what kind of cars do you have?
Just my one Honda civic type R lol. I’m not rich enough to be a collector (for now) hbu?
nice
These are my cars. Left and Right. 😏
I have a 24' MX-5 GT soft top
u wot m8? Civic Type R???
Where's my picture of that car?! or you totally forgor me? 😔
I also prefer to walk most days because it’s good for me and I get to save money on gas
Lmao it’s nothing crazy just stalk but I can send you a pic in offtop if you want
Here, because if you drive, you need 5 hours to get anywhere (one-way) and because walking and public transport are good.
Any time. I'm always up for car, nature and vacation pictures.
You post too, I want to see that Miata.
I cant post pics... it wont let me
Ah...you're new...need to level up first (so, basically, talk too much, like me).
ha yeah I guess
But yea, we do everything here...politics, cars, guns, STALKER, everything in between.
The Miata is such a blast
Too true. I wish I could have a blast.
Gotta come to America sometime and check out some car shows
Is anyone else having problems with the game spawning way too many zombies? Like easily hundreds and roaming way outside of their normal spawn areas. At vpc mirror they have almost made it to the malachite wall and seem to keep expanding like some 28 days movie
Don't tempt me...
Uh...no, that has to be a bug.
Cop urself a shit box and start mobbing around in a lot or hit some off-road trails. You won’t regret it 😂
I dont have any crazy mods just 2 for cheaper fast travel and traders buy red guns
I live in Mumbai, we don't have off-road... 😆
Did you try temporarily removing them to see how it goes?
Jesus. That is not fun😆
I'll try it. Figured I'd ask first since I wasn't sure if maybe it was part of the story or something
Yeah it’s part of the story. It’s a nod towards the walking dead. Just gotta survive bro 
No, enemies simply don't spawn beyond 2-4 at a time. If you're getting hundreds, that's definitely a bug.
Well i just did the mission where the monolith got turned back on so I thought maybe that's why
Yea, but then you'll face Monolith squads; zombies still remain the same. Might help to file a bug report and ask in #pc-specs as well. If you need anything based on quests, #❔┃main-quest and #❔┃side-quests can help too.
Still, try game without modifications first and kill the zombies. If they don't respawn, then one of them is bugged. If they still do...well...
Also, you can try loading to an earlier save (with the modifications disabled) and see if it still remains.
Ok
Yeah it's gotta be a bug bc sometimes when I fast travel there is a pile of dead guards in one big pile for no reason
Sometimes the zombies spawn but they're like not dead or alive they just lay on the ground wriggling around and I can kill them but can't search em
Probably from A-Life bugs or maybe they died by the time you got there due to bad spawns/enemies. But if it's a pile...likely bugged.
Yea, that happens (being unsearchable). Sounds like the A-Life crapped out.
Damn
I been getting rich off them lol. So I didn't worry about it too much. But now the zombies are crashing my game from too many npc
They just respawn in front of you or as you travel?
As a celebration, ACTUAL final car spam of the day here. Have fun with this one.
BTW, Camaro won (against the muscles, that is).
This episode, the brand-new 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse races everything. In the manual-transmission corner, it's the 2024 Lotus Emira, the 2023 Toyota GR Supra 6MT, and the 2023 BMW M2!
And then there are the automatic contenders: the 10-speed Chevy Camaro SS and the 8-speed Dodge SRT Challenger Scat Pack Wide Body Shakedown Last Call.

||Man..seeing spirit hold topols death against himself is rough. After telling him about the shining zone he feels relief that he’ll be able to apologize to him for leaving him behind.|| the zone is a dark place
As Mityay says..."...this is a place that shouldn't be".
He’s not wrong. This is a place that truly brings the worst out of and upon people.
Just people, though...as Hermit said in CS...the Zone is what people think/want it to be.
After all, place is just a place, it's the character of the people living there that shows.
Yeah this is indeed true… it kind of leaves an empty feeling. Even tho there are rare instances where people are just trying to do good by one another it’s really just full of death, despair and corruption.
Welcome to humanity. 😔
Too true.
Stechanka arrival
i'm back on my hunt for the burer toes
Yummy 😋
You're not going to find any here.
I heard strelok makes a mean burer toe casserole 
That sounds like a Scar thing. Unless they’re buddies.
Then, I’d understand.
No they basically avoid each other. I just think it would be funny seeing Strelok munching on that given he’s a dude who acts all tough
Doesnt sound normal. Zombies shouldnt crash your game
They dont require much cpu power.
Or any at all
Embed power

Embedded a bit too much today... 😆
Blood fountain right there, Tejas.
That's inside that shop in Stechanka.
The location has turned out to be Loot City.
Damn, I thought you took that sucker out outside.
I had an Emission and even though I'm technically in the Chemical Plant territory,
An I.P.S.F. soldier ran inside for shelter and he was green friendly. I was surprised.
That's the one in the earlier screenshot who I came upon outside,
so I ran inside the building to get my back against a wall, for the attack.
well. good thing i climbed the top of red fortress
They are a limited time event. Wait and you can find them on E-Bay for 10 times the amount.
fair...
back to habar
I concur
Hello

Duty dude
Cheeki breeki
Ewww warddddd
I, like, big, budgets and i cannot lie. All you bandits cant deny. When i see an itty bitty crook, who walks around like a debt book
I just cringe.
Ur faction is already dead ….
My faction took over garbage without resistance. You bandits are like meek sheep.
Ward got its sh!t kicked in by one hungry boi
Because we are business men not soldiers
(As did Spork)
And spark is smaller then the Bandits
Come back wardi

brrrrr brrrr 
freedoom 🥀
He is jealous of our large amount of wealth
nah
its whatever gsc is doing that we cant see
i know theres issues with SLZ but theres almost no change in alife files that we can change and access
so its mostly "backend" alife changes
or maybe
i dunno 😭
Freedumb. 
you know what else is massive? 😭

it makes sense
They got a yoga instructor in stalker

Jumping on things to get high ground helps the newbs but it’s pretty easy to track them
Should i help Strider in Cop?
He look like a poor guy
Yes. Always provide help to those who ask for it. You know you would want it if the situations were switched
I tried to tell anyone at yazov station abt those guys but idk the quest still say unfinished
Idk I’ve never had this problem
You need good reputation with some side in there
Ummm how to join freedom or duty
Me
the faction with the most iconic music fr
Sup
soup
hey i buy clothes there

yeah mind you I'm not blaming the mod, it's likely something wonky on the game itself

but I had 4 bloodsuckers back to back in dire thicket lol
and a clown car like steady stream of ipsf and warden basically running into the business end of my rifle for like 30 minutes a bit later on
will prob update ALL versions with slower spawns for 1.6 cus ive heard a lot about the rampant spawns
almost all because i forgot the bastard child that is slz bronze
Welcome to stalkerdivers
who knows what/if 1.6 will change at all, but yeah from what wool said, there's something wonky but it's hard to pinpoint what
stalker arrived
Its one of my favorite and most hated part of Stalker 2. The infinite enemies at some bases. I get it, but watching 50 Ward dudes stream out of the Chemical Plant in groups of 10. Do they have a cloner in there somewhere
it was even worse, I was just trying to leave zalissya after doing the first ||defense wave|| post sircaa lol
I mean it probably helped that I pissed off ward with my ||sircaa choice|| but jesus
yet another playthrough that I abandon more or less right after hitting sircaa -_-
I mean I like the story, and I'm relatively happy with the mods in general, but after hitting sircaa the game just gets unreasonably frustrating due to what I'm going to be generous and call absolute dogshit mission design.
you could say it's kinda my fault for using a rEaLIsTiC weapon overhaul, but if your mission hinges on the protagonist being a bullet sponge you're doing something incredibly wrong in the first place
and the ||zalissya defense|| mission? You get a handful of AIs to help out and all but 2 were already dead when I got to the village
(this particular clown car incident wasn't caused by a mission per se but it's still more or less the same principle)
It screams, rushed and lazy to me. And make the zone feel more populated than a major city. It also highlight how unbalanced everything is, that the only way the devs could make certain points harder, was infinite spawn simulator.
@waxen marten Hope no on on the team is using this in the development process: https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/s/cSTNrGCyWi
Ah, fair. And it is weird that an IPSF would be friendly, definitely.
Honestly, the problem is not the enemies but the fact that you can't save in combat.
that's what steam backups are for
exists
u talking about pc
The Xbox version doesn’t have any data on it
There’s no game on the disk
Hence no physical release exists
because the game is over 100 gb

You can't 
This yap sandwich doesn't look good at all
can the monolith be broken apart into several pieces
Yeah
conflicting lore, but well
Why hasn’t someone carved a statue out of the monolith yet?
we must switch to ssd based media distribution
at least they'll have an excuse to sell games at 80€
GIT GUD
Unless it’s like an old Trophy, like from the Dark Souls games.
Farming Covenant trophies.
Otherwise. Bro. Skills are a thing.
I recommend acquiring a few.
Sry I typed on wrong server
Yea sure bro "Skills" are the issue when there are barely any players...
took long enough
It's a single-player game...
Woo... it would be cool if npcs could blind us with flashlights during fights.
Apparently we might also be getting binoculars with 1.6 too.
again, wrong server.
Ah, my bad.
We got alife and nvgs what are we going to ask for next
finally we are able to see in the dark past 5 meters
Night vision looks so good
Hopefully a flashlight improvement is coming. NVGs are great, but I'd like to flashlight to not be borderline useless.
I wouldn't expect them to add binoculars unless they extend the radius at which NPCs spawn in, and I'm not expecting that to happen until the engine upgrade.
We got alife? I thought they just changed how the spawns worked?
A Life still sounds a good ways off
Can't wait for nvg
Glad to see that bright lights make it hard to see and the dark spots aren’t just completely bright
They might be able to extend it a bit further now, and then extend it even more with the engine upgrade, but this is just speculation on my part.
nvgs bring the horror aspect up by a TON
Its still barebones i must admit but the npcs do move off screen
A-Life is sort of here in 1.5 but it's kinda...dumbed down? I bet we get improvements in 1.6
We have a good base for full A-Life and there is some degree of offline simulation now, but more still has to be done. GSC has said repeatedly that more work on A-Life is coming.
Seeing more makes it more scary? How?
finally adding another thing that should have been there from the start...
any updates on when the final boss bundle will be shipped?
Did the patch drop or what was that announcement about?
i feel like it's also very hard to appreciate what there is of A Life with the much much lower draw distance.
Teaser
Not yet, it's a teaser for what's to come.
Pfff
Definitely, and I think GSC knows that.
Will we have a choice between one single and quadruple ngvs or ??
Thermal might need more work before that comes, but I know there are models for thermal scopes.
Honestly? NVGs look better then expected, especially if that’s the basic tier 1 goggles
I hate single tube nvgs
Still gonna go nvg-less cause the dark is mysterious :3
Don’t npcs walk around with quadruple ngvs?
Mainly I was worried electro’s would cause them to go apeshit
I'm pretty sure it's going to be like gen1>gen2>gen3 type of NVGs, like in the classic stalker games
Hope so single sucks bad
So everyone sees something in that video except me? It's just a black screen with sound, or am i Faust?
Ur not the only one 
I had to download the video to watch it properly
I hate the sound it’s so corny just make it an normal turn on sound of clicking
Don’t need the splinter cell noise ngvs
so I have good news and bad news
(imma be honest, I think OXA's look better)
it makes that noise even in real life
Sure
I own some myself it don’t
Quadruple ones
The NVG shader looks really good
Oooh, you have quad-nods?
You must be rich lol
I’ve got 4 Pringles tubes lying about, can I make one from those
I have used the double set and they didn't make that noise
i kinda remember why i dont look in this server bc when gsc gives yall anything u guys dog on it like u havent been begging them for it
Not the military kind it’s enough to function
really says alot
But I've used night sights on weapons from the military that made some noises
Trust me, this server is nothing compared to the subreddit.
oh yeah the subreddit is god awful 😭
i legit just dont interact with the community outside of the modders
So yeah they definitely have some audible tone to them in function
Military ones are 20/40k or more
We've mostly been pretty chill here for a while now.
I've used a bunch of different thermal and IR sights and they are all wildly different like that

Military grade mostly
Enough to buy a car lol
People want things they can enjoy, and if something isn’t right to them they will understandably say something about it. They’ll just shut up about some things once they are satisfied
Lmao yeah
But never the quad nods that's special forces shit
I ain’t paying 20k for a toy lmao, I’ll just grab a scope if I need to go night hunting or something (probably boar hunting lmao)
Military equipment is stupidly expensive. You also want to feel poor, go look up software licensing costs for enterprise-grade stuff.
Oracle enters the room
I think NVG is completely useless to begin with, and that the people asking for them were just circlejerking about the old games, but I also think they kinda look like the lazy green gamma filter I expected it to be lol
Or Broadcom 😂
i need a finished game after 1 year not nvg
it's fine though, hopefully there'll be just one less thing for people to bish about and that's what counts.
I think Broadcom might have surpassed Oracle in terms of shittiness based on the stories I've been reading.
This might only be 1st Gen night vision too, so maybe the more advanced iterations look better.
they will find more
the nvg looks grainy im gonna bet is gonna be one
I'm blown away by the community. We're going to be at it for a year, and the game is practically the same. What eight months of updates mean for Stalker is literally one big update for another game.
they always do yeah, but hey
the game is practically the same
It's...really not.
gonna bet u were whining about nvgs
А ну чікі брікі і вдамки
well he whines in general really
Oh I long for the day when people praise the game and GSC for the inevitable comeback like they do with No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077.
also it hasnt been 8 months 😭
whatever he can find to whine about he'll whine because all he knows what to do is whine
:f_monoli:ahh_nuu:
the last patch was in what june?
brhuuu
Are the nights gonna be darker
Source: His Ass
Not you Tim
look at his message history in this discord and there isn't a single thing he has uttered that isn't turbowhining

Lol, I was just about to ask for clarification on that.
im gonna play stalker 2 and have fun because i like the game
I will play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and provide GSC with polite and constructive criticism and feedback when needed.
same 😌
Adding mutant hunting and two weapons does not change the fact that performance issues, graphics problems, cut missions, lack of AI, lack of collector's editions, and hundreds of other things continue to fail or are not implemented.
I wish there were item flashlights like in anomaly rather than the headlamps
NGL Night vision gonna help me in the places that are dark if we had places that are actually that dark
I stopped my like, 7th playthrough in the same exact spot because I absolutely abhor this game's mission design, but I did clock like 150 hours more than last time I stopped playing so yno
Exactly
maybe dont play on max brightness bc this game is plenty dark
I hope the nights are much darker
They need to make night time pitch black like rust
yea
night in this game is really dark i didnt really mess with my brightness so that might be it
no that game is bright as day
pitch black only exists in cities though
Don’t care
also why does the game just flashbang me with bloom during the day thats my biggest issue
the fact that in the video skif heads into a building interior doesn't exactly fill me with hope for that although I still hold out on maybe the new sdk stuff allowing players to be able to better manipulate light.

-
The collector's editions not being delivered is the fault of the retailer, not GSC.
-
Performance issues and graphical problems are still being worked on and the game is running far better than it was at launch.
-
GSC has stated repeatedly that more work on the AI is in progress and coming.
-
GSC has also stated in interviews that restoration of cut content is being considered, and I think they might have even said it's definitely happening, though I can't remember for sure.
Yea
facts and logic vs whining who wins
far better yeayea copium simulator from fanboys
can't outlogic the mighty whine brother
Isn’t the next patch literally gonna be performance updates
whining is its own reward ig
I am pretty sure that this game will be very great after a couple years of improvements and modding
the hardest part for most people I guess is being patient
If you hate the game so much then why are you still here? Move on with your life and find something better to do.
i think they are working on updating to ue 5.6
1.6 is apparently gonna be a huge one
n i think its prolly gonna be the patch after this one or during the patch
Can’t wait for this game to be on ue6
Ue5.5.4 update is coming with ps5 release
It's infuriating when people lie about things like performance. This game hasn't improved much, and you know it. copium
It’s 1.6 I’m pretty sure
ue6 will be the first game engine to actually just light ur pc on fire
I've said this before; we are 100% in a No Man's Sky situation. It will take time, but I genuinely believe that this game is going to be great.
Besides, in summary, you're not saying that they're fixed, you're just trying to say that it will be done in a possible but uncertain future or trying to shift the blame away from GSC, which is funny.
Some year yah
When? they even left it to move the updates to next year. Below they say that could be that some come next year if the zone is not stable
Let’s hope
Ps5 release is like November 22nd or smth
I'm not lying, the game's performance has 100% improved for me and other people, and I have noticed the improvements to NPC behavior and the additions/improvements to the A-Life system.
Games performance has always been buns for me because I run a ryzen 7 5800
STALKER 2 SUCKS GUYS

STICK TO THE SCRIPT
Some of it's fixed, some of it isn't. Game development is complicated and time consuming, especially with complex projects like open-world games.
I have no problem with waiting longer.
I don't know where you saw a big difference in performance XD
everywhere lol
hate to say it but he's been very clear for 8 months that he's not really interested in how the game is, he just wants to whine
to that effect he'll just whine without really taking into account whether the reasons he wants to whine about are whine worthy
bro just whines for whine sake
Honestly I wouldn’t even call it that
No mans sky was an absolute travesty, 3 hours in and I felt cheated. Stalker 2 I could play for 120 hours and have a great time. But I’m interested in seeing how far they go with it considering that stalker is a linear narrative game while no mans sky is sandbox.
Like, in NMS all the things they add are going to be constantly seen again as you play because of its sandbox loops. But in s2 you could have already finished the game so now the new stuff is just little bits extra to an experience where you’ve already gotten everything out of it
Maybe since day one FPS is better but since half a year its more loss in fps from own testing and others.
So higer over day 1 but lower since may i thing with the AI update
Satisfied with crumbs, they are developing DLC and the Play version while giving you the smallest updates I've ever seen in my life.
See this guy gets it
He’s sticking to the approved talking points to
Higher and more stable framerate, better performance in towns...
Actually come to think of it, I don't think I've been getting the massive frame rate drops in towns anymore, though I'm not sure when exactly those stopped.
I think the coolest part of stalker 2 thus far is the fact that everyone has their own agendas and whatever you choose who to side with the zone revolves and adapts around it
bro like i have the same fuking frame rate on zalisia whit a 4080/i7 13k what you yaping
ehh I mean nnot really
IDK towns still give massive framdrops
I have a 1660ti 6GB so....
not that I'd take that as a negative but it's not exactly an rdr2 situation
Stability improvements aside, there are no frame rate improvements. I barely noticed any improvements in frame rate.
All these none v cache havers
Only ||Richter|| is a real friend.
Obviously not there’s I think there’s like 4 set paths but I think it’s still cool
Makes sense from shit to shit is not a diff 
i'd inject crack with richter
Come join the 6.2 Ghz gang
Stalker needs more Clocks anyways
Actually no. I've seen noticeable improvements to performance since launch day even on low settings with my GPU.
Where
It is. I honestly do enjoy how you get actual variation according to the paths which will alter your playthrough significantly
No one getting that
I think at one point he compared living in Mexico to Ukraine or something
What about may to now.
with AI update
Improvements across the board; performance, NPC combat behavior, etc. I've definitely noticed it.
Which of these Helen Keller mfkrs said “the game hasn’t improved?”
Well you could say its so fast it would drive it self in to a wall but we are not talking about that
actually impressed that he would go that far from his usual whine
Vlad Mihail
Who’s this Vlad chick, and why is she wrong?
You can’t even hit that on more than one core
With out sub zero cooling
Waahd Whinehail
(nailed it)
Trust in Tweaking so it does work 🙂
News flash bro
Alright, I have to leave for work. Hopefully I'll have time to pop in tomorrow.
When the latest update comes out, I'll test the performance of the first version of Stalker 2 and the latest one, and then we'll see if it's really improved as much
We got enough. Wanna 24 core or 32T?
Bro. Performance isn’t all that bad, compared to release.
That’s only 8 gaming cores
Sounds like you just need to upgrade, lil bro.
Simple as that
Oh this definitely will be a good faith test and not looking for reasons to hate it. I’m absolutely sure.
Imagine upgrading...
The difference is greater stability, but that doesn't mean a higher frame rate. People are confused by memory leaks without taking into account that this is not net performance.
I cast RAM failure
Not if you Clock the E to be Gaming cores too 
Failure is a different thing...but upgrading...? 😔
Don’t work like that
Hell yea it does. 5 Ghz thats almost what your X3D can push
I cast 7700k motherboard failure
No one is saying the game does not still have issues.
Everyone is saying you’re wrong because the game has made marked improvements to performance.
I play on the arguably weakest console on the market, and it’s the Master Race guys who cry the hardest.
Except your still losing to v cache
I cast melting GPU
my gpu has 8 pin connectors spell deflected
I cast fire on all of you, burn and melt and stop cringing.
I said that the improvements are crumbs for so many months, and I stand by that
Not with better ram too.
This game is already on the ass of X3D 
I cast “Grubby Fingers All Over Your Cards”
Don’t make me pull out the actual numbers
Bro lying about his specs and nobody says anything dayum
I have a laptop with a 4070 8gb and the game is smooth af, it can't be just me
I cast new age Red Ring of death
You can stand by that, and be wrong.
smooth af yea sure
I cast “Time Machine”.
You are no longer in possession of WiFi.
Enjoy dial up.
If you need we can do that with a proper Tweaked CPU
I doubt it's smooth, but I presume it's still perfectly playable.
NVG - WE EATING GOOD BOIS
No amount of tweaking is making up 30 percent
You saw it, too?
i had NVG 2 patches ago. modders are faster
Your constant tweaking makes up more than 30% of the BS...so...I'm sure performance can follow. 😏
That was a good one.
Oh, I think you've said plenty. 😏
Why was 6 afraid of 7?
Cus 6 was poor as fuck
7 is a registered 6 offender.
But close.
GET A JOB LOSER
Is everybody doing crack now or what kind of tweaking are we talking about?
TWEAKIN
Something like that. This channel is basically everyone being high on cocaine 95% of the time.
This is SlavLand.
We do shots of RAKIA, smoke a bowl, and call it even.
I take marijuana.
More than one at a time, even.
I'm just here to mess with three Stalker fanboys, throw whatever crap comes to mind, and then disappear for another month.
Cocaine, marijuana, opium, methamphetamine...it's all the same to me.
I found opium in Afghanistan.
Did you snort it?
Gas light harder queen
The four horsemen of the apocalypse


No. We had to burn it.
Hey, I'm back from Venezuela after seeing Rebel
Did u bring some for the boys?
Did you get high on the fumes?
Aye how’d it go
I almost got stuck in a military event
Oh no
Nah, that's just what their horses eat.
The boys were there, and we had to wear gas masks.
And my embassy left me stranded in Venezuela, I almost didn’t get out lol. Rebel is fine, just got a new PC
Damn, can't even smoke opium...
LETS GO
Which government would that be?
Hell yeah.
My nation left me in another one.
america
Yah his government is trying to attack America
See they actually want you to do that

I was almost arrested because they thought I was an American spy, what a mess
I meant which government is attacking?
Stalker its not even 15%
That’s the secret
To be fair, America needs a good ass whoopin.
I bet some of the lads were like "fk this I can't breathe with this thing on" and took the masks off
Once every year.
surprisingly normal
Venezuela won’t be giving it
For sure.
Unfortunately, those bros got kicked for failing drug tests.
But you’re not wrong.
You’re not wrong.
Out of all the things that didn't happen this didn't happen the most
They will literally get operation just caused
america will have another civil war maybe
Though the people of Venezuela might appreciate that
and it will be wicked
B R U H
Well, all you can do is either cry and be mad because I talked trash about Stalker, or just cry, period
Doubtful.
How the hell did we get from NVGs to this? 
somebody farted
Welcome to #☢┃stalker-general.
You aren’t important enough to be considered an American spy.
Do you even have any training, or a military background?
What do you do for work?
Everyone here is missing 99% of their brain cells.
From what rebel has told me getting a new government would probably be appreciated

I believe that you almost got yoinked, because South America is Human Trafficking.
But you, a spy?
Negative.
Because they didn’t know which country Romania was from and wanted to extort me, not because they thought I was a spy, bruh
We'll see.
i wish bandits were real 😔
You talk so much about crying, is that all you think about? Must be a very sad kid
"Or so I think
I call BS, brother.
I deployed with Romanians.
I could NEVER mistake an American as a Romanian.
I wish monolith was real
I think he might be a bit trolling.
IN VENEZUALA
Can you read?
tired as hell and work doesn't start until 16:30 uggghh
I can’t wait to shoot a non nvg enemy while I’m using nvg in pitch black, and proceed to get laser beamed by them as soon as one dies
BOOOOOO
i'd rather canadians be real than monolith
Canadians are real.
what
No fkin way
i have no way of believing you
Me neither
I am one
No Canadian conspiracies.
See? And I didn't even have to work for it.
Real as can be. Maple syrup blood and all eh
Alaskans are Canadians stolen by the USA.
I need to see some papers and pictures of Ontario
canada is on the same mythical level as west virginia
they just couldnt possibly exist out there
Eww Ontario that’s nasty. Prairies for me
Ontario and western Canada don’t get along as you’ve probably heard
Country rooooooaaaaads
Skill issue.
@oak junco we need you to represent Canada
Appalachia is just haunted.
Yah know Canada uses Celsius
moth anomaly
WV is a place, though.
So they can’t be that bad

Even if they allow you to sign a piece of paper to kill your self
grafton anomaly
The mercy killing? That goes hard.
#📰┃announcement message DUDEEE
If you heard something call your name in the woods, no you didn’t.

That’s a literal panther in the woods.

Why is this place always brain-rot?
Can they take a selfie?
Do they look like South Park?
the split heads
Brain scorcher 24/7 I guess 
im a bandit what do you expect, nikola einstein?
Too much, man...too much.
Yea. 'Cause a Bandit could upgrade the SEVA suit in Clear Sky. 😏
Psionic protection too...takes a genuine Einstein to do that. Cope.
one man doesn't represent all
Shame.
“The exception does not become the rule”
Is that what you were looking for?
whatever this guy said
True. One goes around doing ethically-questionable missions and one sits on a chair and does arm-chair wars.
my programming is to kill loner with rock, it ends there
It’s funny you say that…
Marines are technically their own branch, but that paycheck says Navy on it.
Air Force was also not its own branch at one point. It was the Army Air Corps
Loner kills you with AKS-74U.

I think about Elden Ring when I play this game.
I treat fighting Bloodsuckers about the same as fighting Black Knife Assassins.
Given they can go invisible, and need to be in melee range.
they havent dropped yet though
night vision looks much better than i expected. well done!
I don't think they're supposed to.
Drum-glocks make me sad.
Reason: Bad word usage
😂
fug off
W O L F’ D
Why?
Wolf moment
Feeding issues.
If you have a Glock, you have a decent gun.
But a fully loaded drum mag could strain parts of the feeding/loading systems.
Causes more jams and such.
Same with rifles, too. Drums are ok. But only like. So often.
Unless you got a special mag well designed for that.
Stick to Stendo Clips, at best.
Drums will hurt your gun, and the enemy.
Or, learn how to shoot.
I think that requires fixing the mounting systems rather than abandoning drums, NGL.
Would get that well, honestly. No matter how well you can shoot, nothing beats the peace of mind of not having to reload every 30 rounds. Or 31, depending.
I think you could just carry an LMG.
Rifles and Drums are a temporary solution to the LMG question.
Do you mean a Stalker gun, or a real gun?
30 rounds actually gets you pretty far in real life, if you’re not an idiot.
And if you can count.
So I’m on break, saw the NVG Video.
Anyone know if it’s just 1 tube or dual-tubed?
I avoid Drums on my Video Game guns because aesthetics. I’d rather just carry an LMG.
I don’t put drums on my real rifles, cause I don’t wanna break my shit.
I didn’t have audio.
But if you mean are they monocular or binocular?
Correct, my bad
They might be binocular, but only showing a combined center screen.
A monocle NVG would be offset to one side of the screen, depending on eye dominance.
If the NVGs are centered on your screen, it’s probably simulated Bino
The sprites, in game might be monocle though.
I could be wrong. Literally haven’t come out, yet.
I’m just guessing, anecdotally.
And farming Chat Exp for gif perms.
I still stand by the fact the extended mag for the 416 should’ve been the 60 quad stack
Wearing, and carrying NVGs is a chore, my dudes.
I’m not saying you’re wrong. Drums serve a purpose.
A temporary one.
But yeah. The 416 deserves better.
The double drum for the G36 is still hilarious though
MAKE SOFMOD GREAT AGAIN
You’re out of ammo? Improvised melee weapon
Metal pipe weapon
Far cry 2 style
Or… An E-Tool, collapsing shovel.
How much that boy eats, you know he’s digging holes to take a dump in.
All that canned food and bread cannot be good. Mixed with Red Bull, vodka, and condensed milk?
Absolute shit storm.
I couldn’t survive in the Zone.
Two bites of bread, my guts would start gurgling and BAM, Bloodsucker finds me.
Go try to sneak up on some poor IPSF bastard, and my knees pop.
Dude spins around and plugs me.
It’s even worse in OXA
MREs, jerky, trail mix
my knees would poop too
all my guns have infinite magazines and shoot til melting point.
LMG too heavy.
you gotta get drums in the shape of the infinity symbol.
Both.
Doubt.
omg when the NVGs gonna drop bruh

Gun. Shoot.
In S2? You don't

u can't too much, in CS u can.
Only CS has the faction wars as a mechanic. After certain points in the story you can talk to faction leaders and ask to join
can i get the role
factionwars24
why™
what kind of event
Textbased puzzles and challenges where factions could earn points
crazy
can i get a custom role with no perms
The more points they earned, the more rewards would get raffled within the faction

Mods don't have that power, that's Mol1t's domain. If he starts giving away random roles he'd be busy till rapture, so don't get your hopes up
i dont even know that means
