He was lost ever since he crossed the border wall.

[meager crag]

Borders have walls?

Not around here

[meager crag]

I'm no SurDno tbf, I just know most of the lore of the OG games

[shrewd needle]

Zone border wall.

TBF, everyone who's crossed that RP-74...screw that, I'm calling it the PKM...but whoever's crossed it and lived...has lost himself to the Zone.

[shrewd needle]

True, true.

[still current]

Lost in time and torn apart, left hanging in non tangible matter form

[meager crag]

No Hit Holy Run, my beloved

[shrewd needle]

Vova Vist would be impressed.

[shrewd needle]

True. If the PKM won't get you, the mines will. If they don't, the anomalies will. And if they don't either...Sidorovich will.

[still current]

Liar! You're a nerd

[shrewd needle]

He's Comrade Nerdson.

[meager crag]

Okay, prove it

[still current]

Mutant fuckers
A- freedom
B- bandits
Pick the right answer.

[meager crag]

Neither

[still current]

Nerd

You don't even dwell in rumors

You proved my claim

[meager crag]

But of those two, Bandits are the only one who get a craving that bad that they start eyeing mutants like that

[shrewd needle]

TBF, Freedom smokes so much weed, they might as well do just that...literally.

[still current]

This bro here is more reliable than wiki

[meager crag]

That's an easy one tho, doesn't prove anything

[meager crag]

I'm no MarkedMatt

[still current]

Okay, what's the origin of fleshes

[shrewd needle]

Alright, what did the Mama's Beads do in all 3 OG games?

[meager crag]

Unknown

[meager crag]

Bulletproof in SoC, help stop bleeding in CS and CoP

[still current]

Bullet protection in soc, and chemical in the other two

[shrewd needle]

Uh...?

[meager crag]

Unknown

[shrewd needle]

I know; that was for Crimson to prove he's a nerd.

[shrewd needle]

I thought that they were turned into Flesh from pigs being mutated?

[meager crag]

Bro got it wrong too 😂

[meager crag]

Sure, but we don't know how they mutated

[shrewd needle]

Too much psionic weed.

[meager crag]

But yes, they indeed used to be pigs

[still current]

It was gravitional tho

[shrewd needle]

Mama's Beads = thermal.

You can literally find one at the graveyard of Bes in CS.

[still current]

In cs yeah

In soc, it was just laying around lmao

[meager crag]

Bes? CS? Bro

[still current]

Yeah

[shrewd needle]

TBF, in SoC, all artifacts were just laying around. I remember finding one in Wild Territory (I think Mica?) after taking out Wolfhound's snipers.

[still current]

Killed him before pseudo dog

[shrewd needle]

No, I said 'graveyard of' Bes. I know Bes was only in SoC.

Because IDK what the name of that area was.

[meager crag]

Oh, you mean the concentration camp?

[shrewd needle]

Yes, that.

[meager crag]

(Yes, that's the actual name)

[alpine flint]

wait what

[still current]

Bes my poor dude

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but I remember it by Bes, since CS is empty, I think? Just thermal anomalies burning the place out.

[meager crag]

Nope

[shrewd needle]

And Bes is memorable due to suppressed AK-74U.

[still current]

Nah, gravi

[meager crag]

Used by Bandits to use captured Stalkers to farm artifacts

[shrewd needle]

Oh...well, my name checks out, then.

[meager crag]

Thus "concentration camp"

[still current]

Concentration camp before soc time

[meager crag]

Yeah

[shrewd needle]

Fair makes sense; like I said, I only remember it by Bes, so I got a bit confused there.

[still current]

They kept trying to capture it back and reinstate it

[meager crag]

Aye fair

[still current]

Marked one tossed that dream off the edge and then bloody dogs came and fucked bes

Poor bes

Well, you could save him, but either way, his fate is unknown

[shrewd needle]

Free suppressed AK.

[still current]

Meh

Would rather save him

[shrewd needle]

Also, Wiki calls it the Vehicle Graveyard. Which, I think is the name in S2 too? Not sure, NGL.

[meager crag]

Anyways, y'all still didn't manage to prove I'm a nerd

[shrewd needle]

So would I, but RNG is RNG.

[still current]

Yeah, the technical name isn't really it for CA

CS

[shrewd needle]

Fair.

[shrewd needle]

Still a nerd to me.

[still current]

Bandits used to run garbage, so basically, that place was the concentration camp for stalkers

Captured to hunt for artifacts

[meager crag]

They took it back during the events of CoP, if Sultan is to be believed

The Garbage, that is

[still current]

Meanwhile father valerian was dealing with the military aggression in cordon and planning on taking the fight to the bandits in garbage

[shrewd needle]

TBF, they still do (and unlike before, at least Nestor's an effective leader, disregarding the Scanner problems).

Meanwhile Varan reminds me of both Borov and Yoga.

[weary hedge]

Never even held that ak because bes is bro

[still current]

It's not easy to save him

[weary hedge]

[still current]

So, only true stalkers would actually pull it through

It's a whole pack after all

[shrewd needle]

Considering Bes' gun is the 'Special' in S2, I guess the canon is that he didn't survive.

[still current]

Yeah, apparently, it's the Canon ending in HoC, even in retcon

[meager crag]

Not all Diggers are negative about it however. Some of them didn't mind the Bandits, seen the "protection" they brought there. Before the Bandits showed up,the goldrush at the Garbage made Diggers just shoot each other just for a bit of loot

[still current]

Yeah, wild lands

[meager crag]

So ironically, they brought law and order, just their particular branch of it

[still current]

Somewhat indeed

That law wasn't really to be considered as such.

It was a shitshow

[meager crag]

Same's the case in CoP with Zaton, if what some of the others say is true

[shrewd needle]

This, though. Nestor seemed to handle himself, considering Slag Heap is peaceful. Pretty much the same as Zaton.

[still current]

But well, juicy old lore is tasty

I mean, okay, there are some hiccups here and there, but in terms of consistency, it's hella nice

[meager crag]

Aye

Like the Fang wackage from SoC and CS

[weary hedge]

Wasn’t Nestor brainwashed to become an agent for the C-Consciousness?

[still current]

Hiccups are mainly in strelok's group lore

[meager crag]

But if that's all, then yeah, not that bad

[still current]

But well, it's clear enough

[still current]

I don't know tbh

[shrewd needle]

Kind of, and then terminated by Varan. Considering all those who dealt with Scanners were either SIRCAA or agents...

[meager crag]

Hey guys!

Guys!

Guess what?

Remember who killed Fang?

[shrewd needle]

A man with a scar across his face.

[meager crag]

Yup, Nimble

[shrewd needle]

Uh...?

[meager crag]

HoC moment

[still current]

Nipple?

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/anchorman-vince-vaughn-wes-mantooth-i-hate-you-pissed-gif-4987712

[still current]

[weary hedge]

It’s not confirmed nimble actually killed him himself

[shrewd needle]

This reminds me of the old days, NGL.

[meager crag]

Pretty sure it was, no?

[still current]

Leshy killed fang

[shrewd needle]

But he couldn't? It's made explicit that Fang was killed by a guy with a huge, very visible scar.

Nimble is...clean-faced. As is Scar himself (and CS exists).

[weary hedge]

Nah, it was never stated he actually shot him. After all he isn’t known for killing his fellow stalkers

[meager crag]

The correct theory

[still current]

Tejas thinks it's leshy and we kinda run it through, me and crimson and deemed it quite likely considering what happened in SoC.

Leshy joined freedom to hide

[shrewd needle]

According to the developers of Clear Sky, it was initially planned for Scar to kill Fang, but this was unimplemented. In Call of Pripyat, Strelok simply mentions that Fang was killed by mercenaries, meaning that neither Scar or Clear Sky (directly) were involved in the shooting.

[visual mortar]

it was me

[shrewd needle]

That, uh...explains so much.

And considering he tried to take out a Bandit leader in S2 and died at Skif's hands (unrelated), well...

Guess he's a mercenary to the core.

[alpine flint]

stalker 2 heart of chernoble is my first stalker game and im really liking the game so i think ill buy the others and enjoy those

[meager crag]

https://tenor.com/view/dio-brando-anime-gif-7367270

[meager crag]

I still figured it out first

[shrewd needle]

Actually...

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Strelok's_flash_drive

[still current]

Yeah mercs! Guess who's a merc? Leshy who owed scar and CS along with his group and the two bandits whom were spared in limansk. The mapping works quite well if you consider rthe old layout and well, it also fits the description. Leshy a merc, and two louzy sloppy bandits all disguised as neutrals

[shrewd needle]

We ran two of the down - clearly bandits - but the third turned out smarter than his buddies. He was sitting with Vintar about 100 meters away.
So...Bandits?

[still current]

Not quite, but somewhat yeah. You were faster than me but we both went on the same line

[still current]

Ghost ran two of them down and forced the killer (leshy, who was a professional sharpshooter) to retreat. Last you check you can find him standing on the gate of the freedom base

[shrewd needle]

Wait, so I guess he was mercenary in CS, Freedom in SoC and CoP and then back to mercenary work in S2?

[meager crag]

So, the clues that make us believe this theory is because we meet Leshiy at the Bridge to Limansk but we also meet two Bandits in Limansk itself. What if, after the Bandits left, they got tasked by Clear Sky to kill Fang alongside Leshiy? And yeah, Leshiy doesn't have a Vintar BC in CS, but the killer had a Vintar BC, right? But we can actually find a Vintar BC at the Freedom base and guess who's joined Freedom? Leshiy

[still current]

He's there, wearing a gas mask at all times

[shrewd needle]

Yea, yea, I realized that after reading the rest.

[still current]

We can't see a scar, but well, he fits it all

[still current]

Somewhat yeah. He was a merc in CS, and ended up joining freedom.

[shrewd needle]

True. Since Leshiy uses a scoped SIG-550 in SoC.

This actually is a much more coherent plot. You both should compete to create a proper compedium.

[meager crag]

And an SGI-5k in CS as well

[still current]

Oh yeah, hidden inside. Seems fitting

[meager crag]

But yeah, Vintar BC at the Army Warehouses

[still current]

Too convincing to discard

[meager crag]

So yeah, seems to make sense

[still current]

3 clues all leading to leshy

[meager crag]

And the Bandits makes sense as well

[still current]

Yeah

[meager crag]

If you keep them alive

[still current]

Sloppy ass

Ofc

[shrewd needle]

Better do that for the Firefly.

[still current]

And in most cases, you do

Well, I personally believe that theory

[meager crag]

Same

[still current]

It's too good to discard

[meager crag]

The clues are at least there

Better than "Nimble potentially did it"

[still current]

Yeah

Nimble was more sloppy than any bandit and well, he's not a merc, nor a fighting type

Well, not until hoc at least

Which ruined his lore ofc

[shrewd needle]

This kind of works as a good plot in S2 too...man actually being a mercenary and hiding out from everyone only to die from entirely unrelated causes.

[meager crag]

As HoC tends to do

[still current]

Bro literally went into gundealing and never left his hideout except for heading to zaton

[shrewd needle]

Oh, Nimble's lore...right.

[still current]

Beo literally was captured by sloppy bandits lmao

How can you pull a hit on 2 legendary stalkers if you're that dumb

[meager crag]

Honestly feels like a Minefield reference to me

[still current]

Fang wasn't even alone at that time

[meager crag]

Y'know, the area in Fallout 3

[shrewd needle]

TBF, I think that might be more gameplay than reality, since he's said to have good connections in the original trilogy (so one can presume he does go out).

Of course, HoC turned him into a 'IDC about anything except guiding' so...ruined. 😔

[shrewd needle]

Never played Fallout, so kind of over my head.

[still current]

Bro literally had ghost with him, so how the fuck would nimble be even courageous enough to leave the swamps to begin with

[shrewd needle]

Yea, Leshy is the perfect candidate for this. And it fits in, considering you both turned it into a coherent plot above.

[still current]

No? His connection came after CS annihilation. Bro established connection after becoming a contractor with sid then decided to fuck around and establish his own business after gaining his connections and expanding on them

[meager crag]

Not entirely the same story, but the concept's same enough. Sniper who's camping in one spot and turned the whole place he's in into a minefield

[still current]

It was all after working with or rather for sid

So, yeah, his connections should be sid's

[shrewd needle]

No, no...I know that. What I'm saying is that in CoP, him never leaving Zaton would be more of a gameplay mechanic, since lore-wise, he would be going out to meet people and make deals (and since he's indispensable as a guy who can get things, he'd be well-protected by the Sultan's/Beard's men).

Basically similar to the S2's Zaton mechanic who later says that he now goes out on runs with other stalkers, even though Skif always finds him at the Skadovsk.

[weary hedge]

Arkansas

[meager crag]

Bro decided he wanted to RP as a 40k Ratling

[weary hedge]

Lil lore drop but the dude is actually the last survivor of a military tribe captured by slavers from Paradise Falls

[meager crag]

Aye

[still current]

No? Cause he's a trader and traders have contractors doing the hard work. Traders only do the selling and acquiring is fully based on whomever they hire for

[meager crag]

I still don't understand why he became a guide

[shrewd needle]

Fair.

[still current]

Inconsistent shift

[meager crag]

He had a good thing going on in CoP

[still current]

No details given

I can come up with theories to support that shift if need be but well, it's helpless

[shrewd needle]

Because GSC decided to bring him in for a cheap nostalgia trip.

[meager crag]

As fanfic tends to do

[shrewd needle]

True.

[meager crag]

That and new companies taking over an older franchise

Funny

Guess we've got both in one

[still current]

Maybe he was a bread guy and when sultan took over the skadovsk, he was kicked out and manned up then got a contract to lead someone to the old CS base and did it
His guiding activity wasn't explained and the only place he took people to is CS base

At least according to my humble knowledge

[shrewd needle]

It's been 10 years since CoP, though.

[still current]

Yeah

[shrewd needle]

Abandoning everything to become a guide is a bit...stretchy.

[still current]

Manned up

[meager crag]

Especially seen how he already created a reputation in such a small time

[still current]

I said he manned up which meant he went over from being a sit ass guy to an action guy and lived off contracts like ending mutants and destroying lairs

[fickle hill]

[still current]

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-strelok-gif-18616085

[shrewd needle]

Maybe the guy to the right of Strelok (or left, since we're viewing from the other side) is Nimble and he got brain-washed to be an agent to abandon everything when Faust came along. 😏

[still current]

They changed his close before tossing him in the brainwashroom?

No

Lmao

Typical monoliths don't do that

Lacking patience and all

[shrewd needle]

I mean, he was wearing white in SoC and normal brown jacket in CoP.

But also that he was turned into an agent, so I presume just...well, IDK. S2 lore is already pain to deal with, so any justifications would be outlandish as well.

[meager crag]

Also, let's be honest here

Him stitching that snork mask to his leather jacket looks hella cringe

[shrewd needle]

He snork'd up.

[meager crag]

Also, oh wow, he's got a bit of cloth of a Clear Sky outfit tied around his arm

Because we really need to be nostalgia baited

[shrewd needle]

"If it works, great. if it doesn't, to hell with it."

Far cry from someone who was knowledgeable about things (both in terms of Zone knowledge and people knowledge).

Sidorovich would not be proud.

[meager crag]

https://tenor.com/view/strelok-stalker-gif-18615680

[shrewd needle]

Also, unlike older games, Sidorovich is also extremely snarky and salty, as if he's permanently annoyed compared to the 'ruthless but cool old guy'.

[meager crag]

Which is also tied to Freedom and their new focus on commerce

Wack

[shrewd needle]

He sees them as unnecessary competition or something?

[meager crag]

Because GSC made him being a scammer a real thing

[shrewd needle]

Putting the slime in slime-bag.

[meager crag]

he dug up a picture of himself in his Army uniform 2013 and posted it.

[ebon blade]

You don't have any cloud saves you can go back to, where your contents are still there?

i do. but im kind of tired of replaying hours and hours of my game

[ebon blade]

What more important? Where you are now with an empty stash?
Or going back with a full stash, before something bugged it?

[dull osprey]

its okay, was he at least handsome?

[ebon blade]

Did you try to go to more than one location, to find it empty too?

[ebon blade]

He was smiling. Not really a war face.

[sharp lake]

yes i did. i went to two different bases

[ebon blade]

Which ones was it empty at?

[dull osprey]

crazy lol

[vernal lily]

Mewtwo started crashing out when Tejas saved that image. He could have just told Tejas to delete it. But instead he really started to get hostile. He didn't leave right away tho, I saw him talking like nothing happened before leaving.

[shell flax]

I’m pretty sure his last message was an insult but yeah, posting that stuff on a public discord is a very high grade brand of stupid imo

He had multiple crash outs over some pretty stupid things

[full seal]

like side quests, what is good gear or something that could help me carry more stuff with me

[fervent island]

is Truck Cemetery too

[shell flax]

One point he said something along the lines of ‘you’re just blood on my knife’ or some other edgy shit

[vernal lily]

[fervent island]

Scar wasn't planned to kill fang in CS, atleast not according to the desdocs.

[fickle hill]

What I seen on lebedevs PDA it was Nimbles job

[alpine flint]

what have i missed

[fickle hill]

Nothin

[fervent island]

In Anarchy Cell just there points where Fang and MESSER are very-very-very close, and nothing more.

[fickle hill]

Interesting

[alpine flint]

alright then i was told nothing i see nothing

[fervent island]

the prequel of SoC was too fuqked by the cancellation of Anarchy Cell, wasted potential.

[weary hedge]

Which was ur favorite experience and why?

[weary hedge]

[ebon blade]

It's always the first game, Shadow of Chernobyl.
Your first exposure to the Zone, with the best A-Life.

[weary hedge]

For real, I’d have to say the same.

[alpine flint]

yesh

[wanton blaze]

I was wondering where he went. Weird series of events

[wicked magnet]

But CoP has better A-life?

[dull osprey]

mewtwo succumbed to the wish granter

[weary hedge]

CoP just had more ai

[ebon blade]

No, it doesn't. It has spawn on demand A-Life.
All the levels of CoP were designed like an Amusement Park.
You walk around and went to each ride (location) where you would
meet mutants, men or artifacts. All the spaces between were empty.

[stark crescent]

i dunno this lvl 5 dude. but he could have just removed the pic, no?

[ebon blade]

He posted it and then realized that his army uniform revealed his name,
when I posted several Gif, that used his name in a movie. Then he removed it.

[stark crescent]

he was a movie star? okey. interesting

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/small-soldiers-chip-hazard-fuck-omg-ahh-gif-11672702

In SoC they couldn't hunt for artifacts and didn't have a daily routine.

[vernal lily]

[dreamy dagger]

Day 343 with Cardan still having his old engine

Eh, not played much; still at the, uh...the part where Ozersky asks you to seek Richter to find the scientists involved in the Controller project.

Also, I realized Mewtwo had some drama; what happened?

[dreamy dagger]

Mewwho?

[shrewd needle]

A level 5 Mewtwo.

I haven't seen him for a couple of days now; I wasn't around here for a bit.

[dreamy dagger]

Oh he went down to Level 1 and...

[shrewd needle]

I read above that there was some drama, but I skimmed through since I was responding to someone else.

[dreamy dagger]

Had the wrong weapon and didn't buy enough health potions

[vernal lily]

Just him being mad with the name changing, then having a final crash out and left. It's nothing.

[dreamy dagger]

A man went down to the dungeon and never came back

[shrewd needle]

TBF, the name changes do be annoying (and I hate Jack for that), but didn't expect him to crash out like that.

[dreamy dagger]

Feels like fighting Andariel with a pickaxe!

In your case, I think you totally didn't come back sane.

Hope bro is chillin' out there wherever he is

[dreamy dagger]

Yea, I don't doubt you, just confused as to what happened. Seeing search results, it seems there was definitely something interesting.

[dreamy dagger]

I mean make people speculate...

[weary hedge]

I know exactly where ur at. It’s a decent part of the story, nothing too crazy.

I personally enjoy the early game aspect and part of the end game aspects. The game really shines when ur out exploring, talking to random stalkers, hearing their stories and soaking in the different parts of the zones and the side quests they have to offer

[ebon blade]

This is why you should never have image privileges.

[stark crescent]

Eventually, i will get image perms, and i will spam so much anime, i will turn yall kawaii

[shrewd needle]

Might want to start with Krez first.

[ebon blade]

Krezzin is untouchable. He is a Legend of the Zone rank.

[weary hedge]

He responded to a Full metal jacket gif sent by krezzin with a picture of him in the army. Tejas then saved the image and mewtwo got offended by that instantly assuming Tejas was going to spread it around the mod channels laughing at him or somethin

[stark crescent]

[dreamy dagger]

Spamming is posting something non-stop without context

Come on, Jeruzbrainman.... brain up!

[shrewd needle]

Yea. The one thing that did impress me was the Duga being active...it looks hauntingly beautiful! Was too tired to grab pictures, but yea...especially at night.

And the VPC Mirror was spooky (both lore and the mirror itself moving, especially how it just basically causes a lightning strike and how you're locked in till it finishes).

And the fact that it basically slams against the bumpers at the end of the rails; makes me wonder how good the technology would've been if it was well-maintained.

[dreamy dagger]

We've been called Spammers of Rivia now...

[stark crescent]

Then i will provide full commentary for context.

[shrewd needle]

If that's the Legend, IDE want to know the kinds of horrors that await.

Damn, he mis-understood Tejas, then. And basically all other moderators here (though, TBF, Jack would totally do just that).

But it's a shame things went down that way; he was pretty chill while he lasted.

im looking for a way to remove people like bandits without using my shotgun

I'm about to wipe the Duga with your face. As soon as I install the Suppressor.

[rich hatch]

Guys, am i the only one waiting for the pvp mode they were supposed to add ?
I keep asking them the question (the devs) but it never get answered, and i don't remember anyone else getting answered on the subject

[vernal lily]

[floral elm]

Its probably long time wait unfortunetly

[tough remnant]

Hey all just a heads up, massive Azure outage just knocked out xbox services aswell as various other services.

This is global apparently

[rich hatch]

As long as its not canceled, i'm good with waiting

[floral elm]

Yeaaa some more time in the oven:)

[visual mortar]

🙏

they sort of dodge questions on that subject so i hope its not cancelled or anything

considering the performance of the game its probably going to be hard to do

[fierce nexus]

[shrewd needle]

Can someone fix my name back to normal?

[vernal lily]

They must be using a coal fed burner, those things make cooking slow especially if you forget to throw coal and fuel.

[fierce nexus]

What's wrong with it?

[stark crescent]

Why are you always the subject of name changes

[shrewd needle]

Because they think trolling is fun.

[stark crescent]

Then ask them to stop

[shrewd needle]

Uh...everything? My name is just AMNeSia. Nothing less...nothing more.

Also, thanks, Nuka. 🙏

[warm schooner]

So guys

When do I receive my stalker pre order stuff

[royal tendon]

when looking at the "Heart of Chornobyl — Standard to Ultimate Upgrade" on steam it seems to want me to buy deluxe AND ultimate? does it need both to be able to upgrade from standard all the way to ultimate?

[warm schooner]

From like a year ago now

[coral shadow]

brother, we first get a complete and fixed game, and THEN we get MP

[stark crescent]

You didnt got an email?

If you bought the stalker super deluxe ultimate physical edition after november 2024, you will receive your stuff may 2026

[wooden walrus]

don't think it is, it still shows preeminently in the steam store, not a lawyer but I think they're kinda sorta obligated to provide it now

however I do think the multiplayer is so far down the priority list that it could very well take years before any work is put towards it

[visual mortar]

it wasn't changed

[gloomy citrus]

You're overthinking it. Its self-explanatory, no need to buy the deluxe edition first if you want to upgrade to ultimate edition from standard.

Theres even an option to upgrade from Deluxe edition to Ultimate.

[royal tendon]

when both editions are baked in to the same purchase on steam. i just had to make sure. am just super tired. so outsourcing brainpower 😛

[warm schooner]

[stark crescent]

im not joking

first deadline was april 2025. i got that message in may 2025. its now may 2026. i cancelled my order. demanded a full refund.

[wooden walrus]

the stalker 2 physical editions make me glad I don't bother with physical editions

[stark crescent]

i'l say. they really dropped the ball on that

and now they want to sell you the physical edition stuff without a game code, and im like, why? you cant even promise that shit to arrive this year

gsc needs money. they will promise you stuff they cant deliver

[wooden walrus]

I wonder how much of the bullet points in stalker 2 go back to contracts signed in like, 2016

like, nobody does physical editions nowadays anymore

[warm schooner]

I thought I was purchasing something normally but I was actually purchasing something for several years in advance

[dreamy dagger]

Lmaooooooooo

They still think selling discounts will work 😄

[warm schooner]

This is so epic

[stark crescent]

i bought the ultimate physical edition like 2 weeks before release. the store promised it to arrive when stalker 2 released. 2 days before release, the store changed the page, saying that orders will arrive april 2025.

that should have been my first red flag

[dreamy dagger]

Yeah yeah, April 2026 here we come, no shit available yet. GLSC.

Grygorovych Lying Sergei Company

[stark crescent]

there is a high chance they will do that again.

[dreamy dagger]

GSC lost my trust long ago, honestly

[stark crescent]

im salty, but i cant complaint. i got a full refund on it, and im now playing the ultimate deluxe edition for free

i wanna try to get the physical edition goodies at some point, but at this rate, they will end up being expensive, not because they are so wanted, but because they are so rare

[dreamy dagger]

How so?

I wish I can refund but I can't, way over the limit

I got digital Ultimate thou

[stark crescent]

i threatened to start a case through paypal. the compliance was inmediate

[dreamy dagger]

Oh I see

[stark crescent]

paypal allows you to challenge a payment up to 6 months

[dreamy dagger]

Well lucky you then

[stark crescent]

the lucky part is that they didnt pull my access to the given cd key

they could totally do that, but havnt done so yet

[dreamy dagger]

Wait huh

So you refunded, got yo money back but retained the game?

[stark crescent]

yes

[dreamy dagger]

Man GSC management is out of touch completely

First time I hear such a thing

Lucky for them though

Last time I spend money on their products, honestly

2nd time I preordered in life, no more again

[stark crescent]

appearently, the one selling these physical editions is called PLAION GmbH

thats where the issues lie. they are the ones who cant deliver

check screens channel

like hell am i going to wait a year and a half for the physical edition goodies. of course im going to ask for a refund. GSC knew about the problems, but at not a single point did they stop selling them. they continue to rake on money. they accepted my 400 euro without batting a shitting eye. they are the ones who dug their own hole

and i cant blame them. they were bankrupt. they had no money.

[dreamy dagger]

GSC has the blame too, for still partnering with them

[stark crescent]

they literally came from nothing. they needed money. but they did it in the most scheming way possible

[dry hollow]

Bruh when’s the PvP?

[dreamy dagger]

PLAION didn't came from nothing

They were involved with Metro Exodus as far as I know

[vapid galleon]

@ebon blade @hardy totem hey guys, this Krezzin guy is spamming irrelevant gifs, it's okay to send gifs but he is abusing that future. Can you do something about that?

[graceful dirge]

I was hoping for PIONER to be like Fallen Earth x Stalker but it's pretty janky and slop

[vernal lily]

It's Kwezzin

[vapid galleon]

wdym?

[visual mortar]

I'm pretty thats the point of the feature

[weary hedge]

False advertising and using ai to make the game

[stark crescent]

is this...survarium? or something

[visual mortar]

huh?

[vapid galleon]

he is spamming, what are you defending for? tell him to stop filling chat with gifs

[vapid galleon]

don't think so man, this game is standing my wishlist for 1.5 years

[wild epoch]

[vernal lily]

Do you want this place to turn into what it was like where one ounce of offtopic could get you muted

[vapid galleon]

survarium?

also...is that the same voice actor as invader zim i heard?

[weary hedge]

Ai

Slop

[vapid galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker2-explaining-gif-25555840

[stark crescent]

survarium was another game made by GSC "talent". vostok games. this kind of looks like a part 2 or osmething

[vapid galleon]

i don't know

[graceful dirge]

HoC's eventual multiplayer, Survarium 2

[vapid galleon]

no, it's SoC 2

or Stalker 3 i don't know both can be happen

[stark crescent]

survarium had alot of potential, but they focused too much on making a TDM version of stalker.

[visual mortar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/416560438956785664/1234191002751991808/image.gif

[graceful dirge]

That's exactly why I feel like PvP-only multiplayer for HoC like the OGs is going to be pretty niche and eventually die just the same way

[visual mortar]

and it was good honestly

[graceful dirge]

Scratched a nice itch I did have fun on it, but of course wish it had panned out to be something more

[coral shadow]

Pve is the only way

[vapid galleon]

[stark crescent]

stalker 2 multiplayer reminds me of battlefield 5 battle royale. no one. no where. literally no one, asked for it.

they push it, because its their game, and they wanna do it. and thats fine. their game, tehy can do what they want. but they need to accept the possibility that their vision isnt shared

[coral shadow]

i dont want a dayz 2 so id prefer to not get killed for my loot every player i encounter 🍞

[meager crag]

Just did and I'm not a Limburger

[meager crag]

Oh yeah? Bet?

[graceful dirge]

I understand the hesitation to go full Tarkov extraction shooter, but of course those being so heavily Stalker-inspired already that concept would be very fitting to the game world though I'd really love something more like DayZ kinda roguelike personally. I get we have DayZ mods and Arma mods for that, and even XRMPE but it is cool to theorize a true S2 multiplayer in various sorts of different forms imo, all much more interesting than the basic PvP-only mp of the originals that nobody was really even truly crazy for back then, let alone dying to have that simplistic gameplay back now.

[dreamy dagger]

I feel violated, I plead the 5th

I feel threatened and I'm scared of walking around the corner. I need a GUIDE around Leemansk!

[unreal gull]

got the roadside picnic novel, ts gonna be peak? 🥹

[meager crag]

Git gud

[graceful dirge]

Still, I like the idea of them officially supporting it because it makes modding that experience into something further that much easier than if it didn't exist whatsoever in the first place.

[dreamy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/fin-tutuola-ice-t-svu-law-and-order-svu-svu22-gif-19520113

[meager crag]

Real

[coral shadow]

Your point is good but still, if there would be an open map with players, everyone would kill eachother for loot, almost no one would socialize, i think that PVP should be enabled only if you accept a bounty

[stark crescent]

frisian. thats gonna be the BBB of course

[meager crag]

Nuh-uh

[stark crescent]

you opposed to the established order?!

[unreal gull]

or just make the multiplayer a co-op thing where you can explore the zone and do missions with like 3 other friends ✌️

[meager crag]

What order?

[stark crescent]

frisians are farmers. farmers vote for farming party

[dreamy dagger]

My name is Kweezin Kwemhazimonibanuwumatumbobo

[vernal lily]

Hello Kweezin Kwemhazimonibanuwumatumbobo

[graceful dirge]

Yes, certainly opens itself up to grief-filled encounters having things open like that, and I couldn't imagine how safe hubs would work. DayZ goes that way nine times out of 10. I think you're totally right, it would be cool if there were whatever elements to encourage PvE or at least not just outright KoS every time PvP

[stark crescent]

wanna know who i voted for?

[unreal gull]

unfortunately

[meager crag]

Up to you tbh, but not in public chat

[vernal lily]

Got scared thought this was Pewdiepie

[stark crescent]

NL plan. a simple asian cook. who wants a better future for asian cooks. wanna know why i voted for a freaking cook who was able to start an official party that has the ability to run for government? because, out of all those parties, that sounded like the least scheming, least troublesome one of them all.

[vapid galleon]

[meager crag]

Bro didn't make a dent, but fair choice

[stark crescent]

[rain ingot]

why do people love the "master" difficulty concept based on realism but against the magazine system? individual magazines and bullets that needs to be loaded. I wish they can implement this for it to be true survival gameplay

[meager crag]

Rather as a mod tbh

[graceful dirge]

But are they gonna make it work for NPCs? They already have unlimited ammo as it is

[dreamy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/good-hunting-stalker-zakhar-bocharov-stalker-stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl-gif-11371091845358903064

[meager crag]

Also, Master isn't realism if we're talking about the Trilogy

[wooden walrus]

people like to cream themselves over master difficulty due to the widely spread misconception that master was the "fair" difficulty in the original stalker games.

[vapid galleon]

did you understand?

[surreal token]

not yet. i'm waiting more perofmrance boost for my poor rtx 2060 (6gb)

[vernal lily]

What's his name again, I honestly forgot

[vapid galleon]

[wooden walrus]

and therefore they must ask for master difficulty in stalker 2 to show everyone who hardcore and OG of a stalker fan they are

[stark crescent]

semi realism. like, you see skif take out a magazine, and then push bullets into it. but he has the capacity to hold like, 30 bullets in his hand, and he just pushes the bullets into the mag call of duty style. its realistic, but not cumbersome.

[meager crag]

Zak

[rain ingot]

that would be the only advantage NPC's would have. they arent that hard to kill lets be honest

[vapid galleon]

[rain ingot]

that could work

[wooden walrus]

it's not really a matter of whether they want a master difficulty, or whether a master difficulty would be a good idea, but rather asking for master mode is a sort of a status symbol

[graceful dirge]

Well, couldn't you say that Master is truly the intended difficulty because it's the one with 100%/0% values to player weapon damage/player damage resistance? thought I heard something like it was only going to come with one difficulty and that would have been it and then the others were added later like publisher's request or something

[wooden walrus]

'cause you could easily build a master difficulty mod with the modding capabilities currently available, yet people don't do it

[vapid galleon]

?

[meager crag]

I mean, to be fair, does the game actually have to be less difficult than Master?

[surreal token]

i take it you exclude CoP fans
