[urban meadow]

You think the Monoliths ever hit that fent lean?

[wind thunder]

I hate the french

[still current]

French too

[wind thunder]

but French women are ok, especially with that dialect

[still current]

Je parle un peux de français mais eww

[kind citrus]

btw is the hate against the french some kinda joke in europe or genuine hatred

[wind thunder]

[lilac crown]

This guy gets it

[wind thunder]

they make shit cars that are a pain to work on

[smoky hawk]

who isnt?

[vernal lily]

Different language being spoken again in an EN chat, time for me to talk in scottish gaelic again

[wind thunder]

the french are the worst at it

[smoky hawk]

you say that as if the trend isnt to make bad cars taht you cant fix

[kind citrus]

french make cars????????
damn i didn't know that but that doesn't mean that we should hate them

[smoky hawk]

no thats tesla

tesla are the worst at that

[wind thunder]

no trust me, the french cant be topped

[smoky hawk]

they already have, I aint listening to the BMW user

[vernal lily]

Are they made out of bread. The french are known to make drivable baguette

[wind thunder]

I am a mechanic, I worked on both BMW and french cars, BMW is miles better

[kind citrus]

😭 why do french ppl get bullied on the internet lmao

[vernal lily]

I ask the same thing with the Poles

[kindred fable]

Who doesn't

[smoky hawk]

safe edgy

[wind thunder]

the BMW hate is unjustified, VW, Ford and the french make way worse cars

[kind citrus]

😿 idk mch about poles except their role in WW2 and fall of USSR

[proven hollow]

have you ever met a frenchman?

[vernal lily]

The common joke is that Polish eat slop for food, at least what I see all the time.

[kind citrus]

😿 no, i haven't seen white ppl in my entire life

[wind thunder]

look at the british ffs

[kind citrus]

😭 they make good dumplings though

[wind thunder]

beans on toast chewsday innit, bloody brilliant

[vernal lily]

People just want to be hating simply because they can

[lilac crown]

As someone who works for ford you are technically correct about fords being cheeks

[urban meadow]

Of course, only the deepest pits of hell that is the french would come up with gamma… >:C

[smoky hawk]

Im saying I aint trusting the word of the guy that parades BMW on his profile on car brands
I dunno, sounds like you have a bias

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-dexter-morgan-idk-gif-2440520923239485215

[wind thunder]

maybe I have a bias but it's backed by knowledge, facts and experience

[lilac crown]

Ford however has a significantly better warranty than bmw and among many other things more bang for your buck

[vernal lily]

New Life of Boris video just dropped: Vodka Penne

[wind thunder]

very loud bang when that wet belt snaps

[urban meadow]

Yeah, just ignore how they massacred the Capri.

[lilac crown]

Oh and the ford turn signals actually work so that’s a nice bonus

[wind thunder]

my turn signals also work

[lilac crown]

Tis be a recall, I just be fixin em I think all cars are horrible in craftsmanship

[wind thunder]

also ford interior sucks ass

center console overinflated

[kind citrus]

😂 ✌️ life-deciding exam in 50 days but i am playing STALKER:SoC it's over for me

[lilac crown]

That’s subjective but I digress

[wind thunder]

my BMW has way better interior and driver oriented commands while still including the passengers

[kind citrus]

they should add cars in STALKER, BMW would be a good addition

[wind thunder]

iDrive is the best thing ever

[lilac crown]

Ah yep the bias has shown itself

[vernal lily]

good luck

[wind thunder]

its a premium brand so its clear

[kind citrus]

thx mr faust

[proven hollow]

lmao burer just walked into a glass shard anomaly and instantly died

[wind thunder]

Ford started out as a cheap car everyone can afford

[lilac crown]

Cannot compare a ford to a bmw if we REALLY wanna get into semantics you’ll have to compare em to Lincoln

[wind thunder]

ford, lincoln, same shit, same ass

[lilac crown]

Kinda but not really

[wind thunder]

I would never buy an American car made after the 80s

[lilac crown]

Well most American cars aren’t American so there’s that

[wind thunder]

Is there a place to request mods because I so badly want a nuclear winter mod on xbox

[cyan sparrow]

but quietly you guys grabbing gamma on gog, yes?

[vernal lily]

Was about to because of the fent ability, but I don't own either of the required games to play on GOG

If I desperately wanted to play slop, I would prefer to just download it myself

same for me, and I am on pc

[rough island]

I love this game

[vernal lily]

I only miss Gaffer's money glitch

[cosmic creek]

the GAMMA collab announcement is POG AF, but what about steam users ? are we going to have something to download it like gog users ?

[shell flax]

Well since Dave already blew the lid on it

A new money glitch has been found

[cobalt fiber]

[rough island]

Doing my first immersion run

[jolly tundra]

i only got stalker2 and cop on steam, not on gog. can i download gamma from gog without buying them again? i cant afford 15 euro for games i already bought

[shell flax]

GOG version is for people who just want to plug and go, you can get anomaly and gamma through their own discords

[jolly tundra]

alr not replying to my question gg wp

[shell flax]

I literally just told you that you can get them for free through their discords

And no you still need them on Gog

[jolly tundra]

not everyones autist to do 3 hours of installation

[still edge]

you only need to have 1 stalker game in your library , from what i heard

[still edge]

didnt know i was autistic, i used to spend 10 hours installing mods for skyrim

[shell flax]

He doesn’t have them on Gog

Didn't know sitting on your ass doing nothing for 3 hours is difficult for some people.

[cobalt fiber]

[slow crypt]

Is it real that you can buy Stalker 2 on GOG just to play the mod?

[visual mortar]

welcome to modding dude

[vernal lily]

You said you can't afford to buy the same game on a different platform, then your obvious solution is get gamma through the gamma server for free.

[visual mortar]

i bet you still have to tinker with the GoG version for it to work correctly

[still edge]

oh you are autistic too? damn bro ! 🤝

I don’t make mods and my parents hate me

[proven hollow]

yeah but that's because of the gestures broadly

some lone guy ambushed me, and when i shot and killed him, he faded into nothing but ash when i went to loot him

[rough island]

Psi radiation

[lost kayak]

does this just happen? or did a body despawn infront of my very eyes?

[shell flax]

Hallucination caused by Psi exposure, guy wasn’t real

That weird droning noise you hear is your warning

[vernal lily]

Such is life in the Zone

[lost kayak]

also, is it weird for me to assume that a psi-emission would play out just like a regular emission, but with psi-radiation instead (i genuinly thought this was a thing before i actually played the game

[sweet flicker]

Theres no “unobtainable” artifacts is there? I wanna get trophy and in wondering if i can get them all from anomalies (except heart of chornobyl)

[lost kayak]

there are
which ones? the ones that fall through the ground so you can't even grab them

i've just been robbed of a crown this way

[plain fiber]

Aw man, what'd I miss?

[sweet flicker]

I guess i shouldve clarified im asking if theres any artifacts that HAVE to be obtained from side /main missions to get the trophy

Ik its buggy ash for the anomalys so i wanna focus on the artifacts that theres only one of in game

[lost kayak]

none that i know of, but thats me talking from piss poor experience and me only playing stalker 2

[sweet flicker]

Haha ive only played s2 aswell i tried to play the first on remastered on ps5 and it just didn’t hit the same spot and felt way to aged for my liking

Just wish artifacts would stop clowning on me its either underground or never a new one

[dreamy dagger]

What the fawk? @waxen marten Why are you talking on behalf of some modders as if you're the developer, lol?!

Tf is happening today.........................

Something f|_|cky is going on

[proven hollow]

my god this actually got krezzin serious, worth

[dreamy dagger]

Word

[plain fiber]

Pretty sure it's because GSC has been actively involved with getting both Anomaly and GAMMA on GOG.

[dreamy dagger]

WHAT THE FAWK?!

[lucid charm]

Waste of time and resources. Let gog and gamma handle that, they should be allocating all available hands to stalker 2

Not helping a third party mod stealer

[plain fiber]

You know that not every single person at GSC is a developer right? They probably have a separate team within the company who handles this kind of thing.

GSC has, what....400-ish employees at this point? I think they're fine.

[cobalt fiber]

People cry for mod support and then when a company supports a mod…..

[plain fiber]

Oooh man, I'd love it if they did something similar with the MISERY mod. Probably for the EE version of CoP.

[lucid charm]

I love misery mod ngl

But that doesn’t mean I want GSC putting resources into it other than getting it out there

[smoky hawk]

(EE) LKMAO

[smoky hawk]

any of thge resources that are spent doing this are the resources of the Legal and PR team

so

🤷‍♂️

[cobalt fiber]

But they only hire devs!!!!!!!

[smoky hawk]

none of the developers making the game are even pulled aside to get GAMMA on the storefronts, they aint got crap to do with the storefront nor the mod itsself

[plain fiber]

Because it has Steam Workshop support and the original version doesn't? I figure it would be easier to implement for those versions of the game than the originals, but I have no idea.

[smoky hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

[lucid charm]

So long as that’s it and not actual development support then go for it, but stalker 2 has enough problems they need all hands there

[smoky hawk]

BRO ITS JUST PROGRAMMING BRO JUST MAKE MISERY WORK FOR EE BOR WHATS THE HOLD UP BRO

[plain fiber]

That's...not what I'm saying...

[smoky hawk]

I dunno what else the legal department can do for the S2 team, like, stalker in the C chair and cheer?

[lucid charm]

Eh, that part’s not my domain, my skills are task management and allocation. Legal issues are someone else’s job to figure out lol

[hardy totem]

luke-warm take: if putting Granma/abomanomaly on GoG increases base-game sales which helps fund development of future games, reducing dependence on investors like microsoft, I'm not against it

[stark crescent]

the game is a little bit buggy. enemies might spawn and despawn at random

[slow crypt]

Well, not everyone has the game on GOG. Making it easier to install mods on the site would mean more sales of Stalker 2 or Cop

[plain fiber]

I figure they would want to go with the EE version of CoP simply because the Steam Workshop allows for that "one-click install" that they seem to be promoting with GOG.

Then again, MISERY does come with a nice .exe, so maybe it would be something more simple like a store page just for MISERY, idk.

[lucid charm]

@jolly tundra you want me to draw you pregnant. Got it. I’ll get right on that

[slow crypt]

Now they're risking problems with companies from other games, Gamma uses many models and sounds from other games.

[jolly tundra]

pls do

[cobalt fiber]

If we’re being pedantic none of those areas are your responsibility

[plain fiber]

Probably not that much of a risk considering GAMMA is completely free. Also given that it was most likely their legal/PR team that was involved with this, those bases would have been covered.

[lucid charm]

No, like IRL my job is task management and asset allocation. Not for GSC obviously, but it just grinds my gears when needless projects are funded when there are obvious problems elsewhere.

[slow crypt]

Who knows, a legal dispute between BSG and GOG might be interesting.

[cobalt fiber]

Development does not equate to overall funding though

For example, marketing

[lucid charm]

Oh yayyyy a financier’s wet dream…marketing is ridiculously expensive and can often time take up half if not more of a project’s budget…I hate it

“Hey boss, I know we’re in the red but let’s put more money into marketing this thing nobody bought! That’ll rake in the cash :D”

Imma go, I’m rambling

[dreamy plover]

Is there a way to play gamma on gog without buying a second copy of COP enhanced as I already have one on steam?

[cobalt fiber]

The development team has nothing to do with the financial side

Hence different departments

[lucid charm]

That’s why I left the discussion. I am being unproductive and just yapping at this point

[slow crypt]

Oh no, that's the point of gsc

[smoky hawk]

very smart

[slow crypt]

sell more copies at any cost.

[dreamy plover]

not really, i can still do gamma the old way but since i have a fresh win install i thought id be easier to just install it on gog but otherwise im just gonna install the old way once i feel like it

[smoky hawk]

yes, you who has the minimal braincell to know that but not enuff to NOT play gamma
but many more people lack any

[slow crypt]

I wonder if there was money involved in this deal

[robust pendant]

Just use moddb or their discord

Its not that hard of a process, just time consuming

[visual mortar]

i got paid big for it

[smoky hawk]

if you as a person do not have the capacity to follow a simple guide and download GAMMA

you should not be trujsted with even a phone

[robust pendant]

Grok said there isnt. But even if there is, its barely any

[smoky hawk]

you are clearly, too young for anything

[robust pendant]

Almost no one got the game in GoG

[visual mortar]

vasim have you ever played with the Ballbob Pack

[robust pendant]

And almost no one will actually buy it, just a few silly people, or rich (the same)

[plain fiber]

Might be some money involved between GSC and CDP for this whole thing, but even then I doubt it's much.

[visual mortar]

i got paid big time for the deal trust me

No its just in GOG to download and the promote it.

No you need either CoP or stalker 2. Its just to get more sales and money. But basically you can install it free in moddb

[shadow token]

i think some modders out there could been like devs imo

there are tons of proffesional work out there

for free, some of Skyrim modpacks feels amazing

[proven hollow]

nah if they could they'd be earning money with it tbh

i mean a decent chunk are, they do modding on the side of course

[vernal lily]

Modders who actually make the mods themselves, maybe

[cyan sparrow]

modders work on ready product, while devs work on the product.

Conclusion

Gamma < Stalker

[mint thunder]

[shadow token]

as someone who have been modding from years, making big modpacks always has tons of works

you have to balance things, fix some bugs etc...

it could be a heavy work too

[proven hollow]

and scrape all the mods from different authors, and omit their names, and make a paypal to profit of all their heard work, and say that its really hard on you and a lot of your kind kill themselves, it's real hard you know

oh, and fight dmca's of course

[cyan sparrow]

oh wait, are you sure they do like that?

[shadow token]

This is weird, Grok always adds the names to the mods in ModOrganizer, when you check the mods always write the names of the authors

[proven hollow]

after countless complaints, yeah

[vernal lily]

Man, I think I had enough reading on drama for today, just seen toilet water overflowing in UA offtop chat. I'm going to take a break.

[shadow token]

take a hot tea, and relax

[cyan sparrow]

#💬┃en_offtop message

He made gamma not modders

Why not not "we" ?

[hallow shadow]

Everyone knows Gamma is a certified GSC product.

[cyan sparrow]

What a low bait!

[proven hollow]

bait used to be good

[dusk dust]

Grok goes out of his way (at least currently) to work with mod authors for their work in the Gamma collection.
even the GoG hosted one had effort put in on Moddb's end to make sure the og mod authors still get their dues from the downloads.
Grok and Gamma is utterly free, no profits being asked for or weaseled out of it.
the recent DMCA was due to files within the optional reshade mod that isnt enabled by default. its included in the install incase you want to enable it.

Also while Grok may not be making the mods DIRECTLY.
anyone who's tried to merge mods or make mods in any game play nice with each other will know that making 500+ mods work in Stalkers old engine is an undertaking and a half

This isnt including the overhaul of base game systems and armor/weapon balancing that Grok is still tweaking themselves.

[proven hollow]

lmao tldr gamma = slop

[shadow token]

Well that's true, he made Gamma, every mod made his own mod, and the collection called Gamma was made by Grok if i'm not wrong

[vivid spoke]

Someone actually escaped from Tarkov

[dreamy dagger]

Dude the Gamma GOG page still says you need to own S2. ITS BEEN 10 HOURS!

[tacit herald]

Is there a channel or link where I can report some bugs? I'm replaying my old save for the first time since launch to get a different ending but I'm having issues

that's better there is no need to cut the image showing only part of the message

Sounds more creditable to the whole team.

Adding the names of the people you stole the work from to then throw it all on a big pile and ask for donations for it doesn't make it any better tbh

After seeing clicker anomalies, I don't think most stalkers would have clear vision anymore

[shadow token]

I really like ward suits, too bad the suits i've found of ward are not too good

[lunar wharf]

Well I also make mods myself on top of that

[shadow token]

oh hey Grok, congrats on the GOG version of Gamma

[ebon blade]

Spark says the Ward can't find their secret base STC Malachite. Look in the background.

[lunar wharf]

It’s wrong and you know it

It’s not only the names, it’s a wholeass installer + backend server infrastructure to allow downloading each and every mod from their original source without taxing ModDB front end too much while still giving them traffic and mod owners the recognition the same if people would download the mods themselves + you can reach each and every mod page directly from MO2 + you seem to forget the mods I made myself as well as the donations that I also do to mod makers themselves

Yep him

[vernal lily]

Thanks for this information, I will keep this noted

[shell flax]

3 basic spark suits and an SSP-99 for free from mine

[robust pendant]

aren't most of your mods just tweaks to files or few tweaks to already existent mods

In fact, I may be stupid, but I'm checking moddb at least and I haven't seen you "make" a mod, just tweak previous ones. It takes knowledge and time? yes, but that's not "making" mods

[ebon blade]

You got armors from looting his dead companions?

[shell flax]

Yep

Same for some pre placed dead wardens somewhere in chemical plant

[ebon blade]

How long ago was that? When the game first came out?

[shell flax]

Today

[vernal lily]

lmao

[ebon blade]

I didn't get any armors from looting his companions.
However, that was back in August when I did it.

[shell flax]

I’m only getting em from pre placed bodies, not killed enemies

[ebon blade]

Is that a 1.7 patch bug?

[shell flax]

I don’t think it’s a bug, they aren’t guaranteed drops, I think it’s a random chance thing when the body spawns

[vague berry]

Anyone got missing npc at behind the seven seals quest?

[fickle hill]

Now he's with the Orlu Olux Olan

[hallow shadow]

You’re purple!

[fickle hill]

Ye took a little grind but I made it

[hallow shadow]

Hell yeah. I’m on my way to Orange. I’m like… 44? 45?

[hallow shadow]

Who’s missing?

[vague berry]

pvt pylypchuk, but i just got in and started blasting, so quest showed me anyway where to go next....

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhh. The Ward guy supposed to help you in? He’s standing outside a gate, and you must be at night time.

[south parcel]

I decided to give the ward the finger

[hallow shadow]

But yeah. Just getting into the Sphere will advance the quest.

[vague berry]

Ah gotcha, cant remember if i was there during night, but oh well

[hallow shadow]

Yeah. He’s supposed to be standing just outside that gate, at night.

[south parcel]

Just made it to "To The Last Drop Of Blood"

[hallow shadow]

He’s all nervous, and shit, too. “Hurry up. Don’t get caught.”
Nice little touch.

[vague berry]

i think i was there at midnight, i guess it has to be complete night night for him to spawn

[lyric phoenix]

Guys, can anyone can help me with main mission?

[weary hedge]

Congrats. Not an easy feat

[hallow shadow]

Maybe. I think there’s a specific timeframe.
You’d probably have to ask Zotov again.

[hallow shadow]

Where in the mission are you?

[vague berry]

Just for the sake of it, ill wait now for night for him to spawn, beside i wanna be stealhy

[lyric phoenix]

I killed Scar, talked with Strielok and my mission rn is to restart elevator system and i am entering room where monolith soldiers are spawning, like 5 with shotguns on surface and 5 with damn gauss gun at catwalk. I am stuck here for an hour...

[hallow shadow]

That’s what I did. I went to him, snuck in and I climbed some ladder.
I was on the roof, sniping folks with my pistol.

[weary hedge]

I'm not even through the opening mission for my PS5 copy of Stalker 2 and with the dual sense and haptic feedback features on the PS5 and man I'm blown away. Keyboard and mouse peeps (I'm one of you, bought my very first copy of the game on Steam!) you have to experience this if we ever get PS5 controller support for dual sense features on PC. Even if it is just once than go back to keyboard and mouse, just experience it once!

[vague berry]

Yea i tried that, but the dude at the top just blasted me in face on lookout tower lmao, after that they were all on alert

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhh dang. Forgot about the tower guard.

[vague berry]

Majority of games lets u sneak up behind them while climbing ladder, nah this guy straight up dropped bullet in face the moment i peeked lol

[lyric phoenix]

@hallow shadow Any tips?

[wise depot]

Can we agree spark are just a less nonchalant/ aura farming clear sky

[hallow shadow]

Sorry. I stepped away.
I haven’t made it that far.
I’m sorry

[lyric phoenix]

Awhh....

[lyric phoenix]

I already solved my problem.
But bro… there’s this one room where you get one-shot from every direction before you can do anything 🥹

Idk if i can do amy spoilers to you

[wise depot]

I love my xbox vibrator

[teal shadow]

the what

[hallow shadow]

I’ll be ready, when I get there.
Spoilers don’t really bother me.
I’m too new to the entire Stalkerverse for anything to really be a spoiler. I don’t know enough.

[lyric phoenix]

On what main mission are you now?

[hallow shadow]

I still have to go into SIRCAA

I’ve done everything up to that point.

Mostly everything.

[lyric phoenix]

Ouch, so its like 30% progress of missions

[hallow shadow]

Yeah. I focused on the side stuff more. The main missions were confusing.

[lyric phoenix]

You are fresh Stalker or did you played older versions?

[hallow shadow]

I started on S2, when S2 released for Xbox.

I’d never even heard of Stalker, before that.
Maybe some mentions in fallout mods.

[lyric phoenix]

So its like year now and you still didnt completed even half of the game? 😅

[hallow shadow]

Gun’s up, and loot is on the floor.
Bandits in the courtyard, Monolith stacked on the door.
Flashlights, and cracked old NVG’s.
Every night’s another reason why I left those streets.
I thank that artifact, that came from the Mainland. Oh, Wild Territory, you’ve been too good to me.
Won’t make my Sparker proud, it’s gonna cause a scene.
He sees his baby girl, I know he’s gonna scream…
“Skif, what have you done?! You’re a Hundred Rads Girl, and you dance at the Bar!*”
“Oh Richter, I’m just having fun. In the Zone, with my gun. It’s where I belong, down at the Hundred Rads Bar!
I’m gonna keep on dancing at the Hundred Rads Bar! I’m gonna keep on dancing out in the Exclusion Zone! I’m gonna keep on dancing at the Hundred Rads Bar. Hundred Rads Bar.”
-*Hundred Rads Bar, as composed by Chappell Skif

[hallow shadow]

The game is still literally in development.

I, personally, believe my abstinence will yield wonderful results.

By the time the game is finished, I’ll still be able to have my “first playthrough” experience.

[mighty violet]

spark fell off hard

[hallow shadow]

That’s Scar’s fault. As far as I can tell.

[mighty violet]

spark in CoP was some friends who decided to help scientists

[mighty violet]

[lyric phoenix]

Well, game have a lot of bugs, shit happens situations and crashes so for a fresh stalker i would wait, for a true fan, i would just play S2 main missions instantly

[mighty violet]

spark in stalker 2 is just monolith but not hostile to anyone

*everyone

[hallow shadow]

Spark, in S2, are a portrayed as the “terrorist/freedom fighter” trope.

[lyric phoenix]

What is terrorist troop 😅

[mighty violet]

AND delulu (because of scar)

[hallow shadow]

They’re a metaphor for brainwashed “freedom fighters”.

Spark is what propaganda does to people.

Same with Faust.
Faust is just Scar, but batting for a different team.

Both of those guys just need to be shot.

[lyric phoenix]

Okay i ended the main missions and still idfk what is happening in the timeline of S2 Lol

[hallow shadow]

Spark would be so much cooler without Scar trying to Schizopost their doctrine.

[lyric phoenix]

Too much for my brain to upload

[mighty violet]

[hallow shadow]

But… Spark makes good suits.
PSZ-5V, my beloved.
Falcon. My betrothed.

[mighty violet]

the difference is
Faust actually knows how the zone works
Scar is brainwashed by c con

[hallow shadow]

Faust is wholeheartedly into what he believes.
Scar is two guys stuffed in a meat suit.

[lyric phoenix]

How can you know so much about lore Mew 💀

[hallow shadow]

I’ve been here a while.

[mighty violet]

playing the game

[hallow shadow]

S2 is the only game I’ve played.

But I’ve learned from the community.

[lyric phoenix]

So discord is a better teacher

[hallow shadow]

Depends.

I won’t learn anything (right) if I don’t know how to ask (the right) questions.

[lyric phoenix]

Depends? I just learned something usefull here in 5 minutes than in 95 hours in game

[hallow shadow]

Mostly, I walked in here crying because release-version of this game absolutely diddled me.
I was NOT prepared for this game.
By the time Mods came out… Making it to Swamps was fun.

[lyric phoenix]

Let me tell you the truth on pm

[mighty violet]

i hate that steam does not records my hours because i mostly play offline 😭

[hallow shadow]

I just be playing. I’m waiting for more fixes, mods, and content.
Then, I’ll buy the game. I haven’t been able to play since it fell off gamepass.

Which makes me sad. I want Stalker back.

[lyric phoenix]

I can be the hater but S2 is not the game you want to buy if you are not the fan

[hallow shadow]

I’ll buy the game when GSC makes a 5.56 LMG cough cough The SAW

There's dialogue from a Spark NPC that pretty much outright states the rest of the faction is unaware of Scar's shenanigans outside of his inner circle of loyalists.

Okay, frick this game bruh. On last mission i collected 140kg of stuff to sell trough 3 hours of pain and tears only to discover i cant get back to Zone withit

[vernal moat]

but at least strelok doesnt have any ulterior motives

he just blocked off the zone

[stiff ibex]

Have we heard anything about DLC?

[hallow shadow]

“Strelok, smash Strelok’s nuts.”
-Strelok

[vernal moat]

thats better than mind control, global zone, everything

[plain fiber]

Also Ward is literally the mercenary army of S.T.A.L.K.E.R's equivalent of the Illuminati.

[sacred cedar]

I wouldn't be so sure about that

[hallow shadow]

Ward is “the stormtroopers” of the Empire.

[mighty violet]

spark bad
ward bad
strelok bad
kaymanov good

[lyric phoenix]

All bad Diegtiarov good

Strelok lost his ball privilege after that ending

[mighty violet]

protagonist of STALKER CoP and leader of "The Corps" faction

[sacred cedar]

Yeah I'm sure everyone else who's going to be ripped apart by anomalies on their way to work is on the same page

[hallow shadow]

All I know about “The Corps” is Yaniv.

[mighty violet]

actually i think the anomalies is going to be controlled really quickly

[lyric phoenix]

Nah

[plain fiber]

Imo, it's more:

• Spark bad for Zone (possibly everyone?)

• Ward good for Skif personally, bad for world as a whole.

• Strelok neutral, not sure what the long-term effects of his lockdown would be on the Zone and the world around it.

• Kaymanov is a more mixed bag. On one hand, a bunch of new Zones popping up around the rest of the world isn't exactly good, but miraculous scientific discoveries have been made within/from the Zone, so this could also lead to unprecedented progress and benefit for mankind. I think this ending would could be considered good in the long run.

[sacred cedar]

What do you base that off of? When even Sircca can't do it inside the zone

[vernal lily]

[weary hedge]

Border patrol and protection of Pripyat

[mighty violet]

exactly my thought!!

[plain fiber]

Player character and protagonist of Call of Pripyat. Also the only former character/protagonist who hasn't gone either completely (Scar) or slightly (Strelok) insane.

[hallow shadow]

So.., They’re IPSF?

[vernal lily]

Strelok ending kind of bad, long term everyone will starve to death unless those ecologists/scientists start rubbing their brains together and think of a way to grow steady food source without radiation.

[weary hedge]

Essentially. That’s also why we see IPSF at yaniv

[sacred cedar]

Spark ending is good for the zone but bad for everyone who was inside it at the moment

Strelok one looks good for the zone but he's been to fanatical about which is probably gonna be bad in the long term. I expect future story DLCs to be made based on this as the canon ending

[plain fiber]

I think they might be part of the Ukrainian military? I'm honestly not sure, but I'm fairly certain they aren't tied with IPSF in any way.

IPSF is basically a stand-in for UN military forces.

[weary hedge]

IPSF is more corrupt tho. They don’t really gaf about their job lmao

[lyric phoenix]

What is IPSF?

[hallow shadow]

Fair enough thank you.

[plain fiber]

Have you played the game? It's the military dudes who shoot at you.

[weary hedge]

International security for the zone funded by the governments

[hallow shadow]

IPSF are the Border Snipers, and generic military guys you encounter

[lyric phoenix]

Oh that new military forces. At my language its IBAOC

[sacred cedar]

Glow in the dark government agents

[vernal lily]

I heard Skif/Doc ending or whatever it is called was considered canon? Idk I might be talking out of my ass and remembering wrong.

[hallow shadow]

Kaymanov ending ?

[vernal moat]

OH MY GOD NO I ACTUALLY HATE MASTER DIFFICULTY

[sacred cedar]

I can also see that being true, also it's more like the Faust ending

[plain fiber]

See, I think the Kaymanov ending is going to be the canon one. I have no real evidence for this, but to me, it's always felt like the canon one. I think it's because it requires the most work/steps on the player's part (I think?), and endings like that generally get adopted as the canon ones from what I've seen.

[vernal moat]

I HAVE GONE THROUGH DARK VALLEY TEN TIMES NOW AND I KEEP DYING TO THE SAME BLOODSUCKER

It basically just replaced UA military to prevent contradictions but it does have its own lore and reasoning

[hallow shadow]

laughs in Skif’s Slightly Buffed Pistol mod

[plain fiber]

I bought a hot sauce advent calender at Aldi the other day.

[sacred cedar]

There's two ways of looking at it. To make the post game story DLC strelok ending would be easiest to build upon. Kaymanov ending might be good for a stalker 3 being set worldwide but it might be hard to make dlc for it. Both feel canon enough

[hallow shadow]

You… What?

[vernal moat]

Yeah i get that and i expected it to be hard not just plain MISERABLE. I got knocked down by the bloodsucker after pumping one shot in him, okay yeah going good but then BOOM HE HITS ME BEFORE I CAN GET UP

AAAAAAAAAAAA

[plain fiber]

It's an advent calendar and each day is a box with its own little bottle of hot sauce.

[hallow shadow]

I know that. But why?

[plain fiber]

Just wanted to try the hot sauces tbh.

[hallow shadow]

That’s fair.

That’s sick. I love my hot sauce varieties 😋

aw thanks a million like

[hallow shadow]

I wouldn’t have survived my deployment without hot sauce.

[lyric phoenix]

WTF Guys, i just checked my PS5 Achievements and i see a few of them get deleted. Does anyone had the same problem?

[sacred cedar]

Despite the ending Ward is still the best faction in S2, all the others have fallen off immensely

[plain fiber]

I mentioned this earlier, but hopefully you folks willl appreciate this more: I'm getting a new set of Winter tires. Falken Winterpeak F-Ice 1s, managed to snag them from Walmart for $84 USD/tire.

[hallow shadow]

The Brood and the Commissary are gonna tear us apart, now.
Either them, or their masters.
Whadda we do?

[vernal lily]

Nice way to sample everything

[hallow shadow]

Sounds Australian.
“F-Ice 1’s” sounds like Air Force Ones

[plain fiber]

It is. I looked at the back and there were several varieties I really wanted to try. Only downsides so far:

• The sriracha sauce had whiskey flavoring for some reason. (It wasn't bad, but it seemed like a weird addition to a sriracha sauce)

• All of the green sauces have blue food coloring in them.

[hallow shadow]

Kinda like… If you say “Rise up lights” really fast, you’re actually saying “razor blades” in Australian.

[tacit jay]

and neither are going to agree with one another.

[hallow shadow]

They are the “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”

[plain fiber]

I'd be surprised to see an Australian tire company making Winter tires considering their lack of snow.

But no, Falken is Japanese and owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries, which is also Japanese. I think I remember reading that these tires though were designed and/or tested in Finland.

[robust pendant]

Thats not a master thing afaik, thats just the stupid mechanic they added and didnt balanced it properly

[plain fiber]

Good night folks. Will maybe see you tomorrow if I have the time to pop in.

yes

[ebon blade]

Good deal, no losses.

[umbral lodge]

Time for the long walk back to chemical

[rugged wind]

do you get a back pack or somthing? I have had only 80 carry weight the whole time...can you make it any bigger besides using Hercules stims?

[umbral lodge]

Actually ykw im gonna drop all these guns

[ebon blade]

There are some better low-level and mid-level armors that upgrade to 88kg.

[sacred cedar]

Just get weird water and accept life as an alcoholic

Or edit your inis to give you more capacity

[weary hedge]

Yes. The highest you can get it is 140kg

[robust pendant]

Or be a REAL STALKER and limit it to 50kg

[rugged wind]

how do i get that?

i have 5 guns in my inv and that basically takes up all my space 🙁

[robust pendant]

Why do you have 5 guns 💀

[weary hedge]

Artifacts, weird pot+ limited edition non stop and upgrades for suits

[rugged wind]

i like to keep different guns for differnce scenarios

smg, shotty, rifle, sniper

[robust pendant]

Ok, cool, but theres stashes you know?

5 guns 💀

[sacred cedar]

Why do you need an SMG a rifle and a sniper at the same time

[rugged wind]

i have over 20 guns in my stash

im collecting all the guns in the game, ,rares etc..

[robust pendant]

Leave 3 more there

[sacred cedar]

Just grab a rifle with a long range scope and use that as a sniper and ditch the smg

[rugged wind]

sniper is single shot, rifle is auto for mid-long, smg for short???

[weary hedge]

SMGs really are cheeks but fun to use

[sacred cedar]

You can put any rifle into single shot mode

[rugged wind]

i dont

[robust pendant]

But you could

[sacred cedar]

You should

[rugged wind]

i always keep my firearms in full auto and shoot them one trigger pull...its just somthign im used to

[weary hedge]

Stick with a shotty for close

[robust pendant]

Its a game with an inventory managing system, try to adapt to that

[sacred cedar]

Or if you absolutely refuse you need to stop complaining about weight

[rugged wind]

have you ever shot a gun irl?

[sacred cedar]

I have

[rugged wind]

liar

[robust pendant]

Welcome to a game, its not real life

[rugged wind]

[robust pendant]

If this was real life, you could've barely and very uncomfortably carry 3 of those guns

[rugged wind]

so if i dont play the way you want me to play u get all butt hurt about it...cool.

[robust pendant]

Its not about me........

[sacred cedar]

We don't, but we're giving you solutions to a problem you have but you just won't acknowledge it

[robust pendant]

So you cant accept the fact that you cant carry 5 weapons and so you made it smth against me?
Like what in the hell dude

[sacred cedar]

If you're so adamant on having 5 guns you are going to have to use weird water

Or cheat

[robust pendant]

Please dont play the original games, you wouldnt handle it (unless you cheat of course)

[umbral lodge]

I barely just made it to safety

The tension that builds when you hear those words you don't want to hear when your lost. Emmison

Im on the edge of the burnt forest currently

[sacred cedar]

I miss the old siren from cop

[umbral lodge]

Is that the one that rapidly starts up distorted

[robust pendant]

I dont think so?

[sacred cedar]

It gets more distorted at the end but yeah it just starts blaring when an emission is happening

[robust pendant]

Oh, it did. What not playing enough cop makes to my brain

[sacred cedar]

I saw there's a mod for that so hopefully it gets updated for a long time

[umbral lodge]

I hope for mods at some point on ps

[robust pendant]

There will be

#📜┃gsc-answers message

[umbral lodge]

Ty

Hoping gamma might be on ps

Just cause ngl I have watched so much gamma over the years it's what hooked me back into the game

[sacred cedar]

Honestly I doubt it

Gamma already barely runs as it is

[umbral lodge]

I mean if they are endorsing it who knows what's next

[sacred cedar]

I'm talking about technical aspects of it not legality

[umbral lodge]

Ahh

Thats fair it's not a small package for sure

[mighty violet]

nightstar lowk better

[sacred cedar]

I don't think 5 night stars are gonna bring you up to 140kg

[mighty violet]

how many weight does a nightstar adds?

[sacred cedar]

9

[mighty violet]

if you have a SSP100I you have 3 lead containers then technically you can have 4 nightstar

which is 36 additional weight on top of 80

116kg total

[sacred cedar]

Or you can just use any armor with capacity upgrade and one weird water

[mighty violet]

with capacity upgrade it would be 121kg

[mighty violet]

i say more than enough.

[sacred cedar]

Not if you carry 5 guns
And ammo for those guns
And food/medicine/grenades

[mighty violet]

i dont even bother with grenades tbh, its just too abundant in the zone

i carry like 2 max

[sacred cedar]

I only use under barrel grenades because the normal ones are just bad

[mighty violet]

same

[sacred cedar]

It's a shame they only start appearing so late

But I guess there's always drowned

[mighty violet]

i walked to rostok early to buy it lol

[sacred cedar]

I'm definitely doing that in future playthroughs but it was very rough on my first one

[mighty violet]

i walked to malachite from zaton just to buy the SSP 100I survey lol

[sacred cedar]

Hmm I dunno if that's worth the trek, there's a perfectly fine Seva in Rostock

[mighty violet]

to me the SSP 100I survey is worth the trek because it is literally the best armor in the game that's sprintable

[sacred cedar]

Or a psz in garbage

[sacred cedar]

You can sprint in exos with upgrades

[mighty violet]

you can??

even with diamond??

[sacred cedar]

Yes a few exos allow you a Sprint upgrade

[mighty violet]

does the diamond have it though

[sacred cedar]

Yes

[mighty violet]

might try that in my masters save tbh

[sacred cedar]

NGL I spent most of my game using the corundum suit

[fallen latch]

the bulwark and cuirass can't

those might be the only ones, there might be one more

[mighty violet]

i spent all my playthrough using only the SSP-100I Survey lmao

[sacred cedar]

Sparkler detected
Opinion discarded
Yuck

[mighty violet]

erm actually i hate spark, the only thing good about them is their armors

[fallen latch]

correct, i'm using the falcon and siding with the ward in my master run

coz screw the warda

[mighty violet]

i hate both‼️

[fallen latch]

thats right!! freedom rules and wardens drool

[mighty violet]

fax brother!! spit your shit indeed!!!

[sacred cedar]

Freedom fell off so hard in S2 it's mind boggling they are occupying Rostock

[fallen latch]

did they really fall off sooo hard if they're occupying rostok?

[sacred cedar]

Yes because they just got it handed to them, they don't even do anything anymore

[vernal lily]

Wow, Spark and Freedom slander

[sacred cedar]

No barrier defense, no rostock patrols

[mighty violet]

yeah cuz rolling in dough beats the hell out of fighting

[fallen latch]

why do they have to?

[mighty violet]

actually the numbers of mutants increased so much even duty dont even bothers

[fallen latch]

oh they bother but they aren't getting anywhere

[sacred cedar]

Duty isn't at Rostock to patrol anymore

[mighty violet]

even at their base (cement factory) they aint doing shit lol

[ancient fractal]

Exo with sprint is a game changer 🙏

[fallen latch]

lmao they are, they just need skif to help them out. Did you do that quest with them, killing the bandits at the warehouse?

[sacred cedar]

Rostock is supposedly a safe heaven with the bar and is frequently visited by everyone. Duty used to keep the roads around it safe

[mighty violet]

nah i dont think i got any quest

[mighty violet]

freedom still does that though

[fallen latch]

well it's just duty asking you to help them clear out bandits at a warehouse literally 50 mitres from their base

[ancient fractal]

W duty ❤️

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cathands-cat-in-hat-cat-with-hands-silly-cat-gif-14981685377760273746

[fallen latch]

it is a safe haven, wdym? the roads around it are safe

[sacred cedar]

No they literally don't, you can hear people talk about it around campfires and on loading screens

[mighty violet]

they dont bother keeping the mutants in check but they are still defending rostok

[fallen latch]

talk about what at the campfire?

[sacred cedar]

How unsafe the roads are with all the mutants after freedom moved in

[fallen latch]

well maybe you should go into the safe haven instead of sitting on the roads around it, then you'll be safe

[sacred cedar]

Arguing with you freedomers is lost cause, all that bloodsucker gooning and smoking fried your brains

[vernal lily]

Erm, akshully, it was a bandit that started that rumor

[mighty violet]

we are NOT gooning to bloodsuckers

call of chernobyl is frying your brains

[ancient fractal]

Yes we are

[mighty violet]

ew spark shoo shoo

[fallen latch]

nah actually the smoking opened my mind to better arguments that you just can't comprehend

[ancient fractal]

Freedom hippie sell out cannot be talking 🥀

[fallen latch]

you're not part of the "we", spark man

[ancient fractal]

Us bloodsucker gooner are all one person

[sacred cedar]

There's a freedomer in CS who talks about how lonely it is without women and sometimes even mutants look appealing enough

[fallen latch]

[ancient fractal]

If only he waited till call of Chernobyl

[fallen latch]

i would love to know the reason why there isn't a singular female stalker in the entirety of the zone

[ancient fractal]

Pretty sure the zone affects women more, or women are just smart enough not to go

[sacred cedar]

Freedomers absolutely geeking off on that elixir, why do you think they settled so close to the bloodsucker village

[fallen latch]

women aren't smarter by default, u can't be sayin that not one woman wants to go artifact hunting

[sacred cedar]

The bloodsucker village is NOT SAFE
For bloodsuckers
Because of the freedomers

[fallen latch]

yeah coz we KILLED them all (trust)

[ancient fractal]

Why don't you ask the guy who made stlaker

[mighty violet]

HOLY

the bloodsucker in master deal so much damage what

[ancient fractal]

Most things do

[fallen latch]

all things do, in fact
welcome to master

i just finished sircaa in my master run

[mighty violet]

i did NOT expect getting 3/4 my health ripped apart and getting combo'd on

[ancient fractal]

Why'd they remove difficulty trophies?

[sacred cedar]

Fortunately for the Zone Ward is there to keep the degenerate gooners and slackers in check

[vernal lily]

That village is extinct because I turned every one of them into calamari

[ancient fractal]

Extinct because freedom cracked them all

[vernal lily]

You think I left out freedomers from this, they went into that fry basket too

[fallen latch]

well unfortunately for the zone, the ward does in fact exist and if the ward gets it's way, the zone becomes no longer
so i'd say that's quite unfortunate for the zone on a whole

[primal nimbus]

How else us Mercs get jobs without international court breathing down our necks?

[sacred cedar]

Well that's just like
Your opinion man

[ancient fractal]

Why is it stalker 2 and not stlaker 4?

[primal nimbus]

Excellent question

[mighty violet]

imagine

[vernal lily]

Why is stalker 2 and not [does not exist]

[fallen latch]

that's right, as is yours earlier

[robust pendant]

Why is it stalker 2 and not a spin off?
I'll never understand

[ancient fractal]

Are the other 3 games spin-offs?

[vernal lily]

Joking, this game is great. Pls do not smite me gsc.

[robust pendant]

No, S2 seems to be

[sacred cedar]

For someone who loves the zone so much you sure hate using WP weapons like real zone aligned factions do

[robust pendant]

Actually, f*ck it, CoP too

[vernal lily]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Phonecall from Pripyat

[sacred cedar]

The trilogy all takes place in about a year from each other. You can view it as one entity I guess

[primal nimbus]

Stalker 2: Skif of Chernobyl

[mighty violet]

i feel like the jump button is your best friend in master diff

[robust pendant]

Fun fact of the day, Tejas played one single save of SoC so much, it was like september of 2013 ingame (the game starts at may 1st of 2012)

[mighty violet]

without the radar i cant find bodies for shit

[robust pendant]

And SoC doesnt have a sleeping mechanic, so that was real time

[teal shadow]

I dont know why I expected the date to be 2015

[robust pendant]

Give him 10 more years

He will get there

But 2013 is crazy, I think the save I took my most time on ended up in like june 2012

[mighty violet]

tutorial level anomaly navigating is so hard what

you dont have a bolt

[teal shadow]

how have you not run out of things to do at that point

[vernal lily]

Someone better make a Richter follower mod for Skyrim

[teal shadow]

you do?

[robust pendant]

Side quests keep popping up, enemies keep respawning, etc

[mighty violet]

the tutorial level

[robust pendant]

You technically can do it forever. It just sucks

[mighty violet]

the one before you encounter richter

[teal shadow]

huh

[vernal lily]

Richter gives a bolt for free

[teal shadow]

why did I thought that you did
I remember using one the first time and messing arround with the particles it makes

[sacred cedar]

Just use your eyes, you're a real stalker aren't you freedomer?

[mighty violet]

real stalkers use bolts

[vernal lily]

Wait what game are we even talking about here

[robust pendant]

S2

[sacred cedar]

lol

[robust pendant]

No other stalker game had richter

[vernal lily]

No the bolt talk, because when I scrolled, Anomaly was mentioned

[robust pendant]

No idea

[sacred cedar]

The only time I used bolts in S2 was for electric anomalies

[vernal lily]

Sorry man my brain is fried I'm lost laready

*already

[sacred cedar]

Geeking off of that monolith elixir

[teal shadow]

the ones thats caused by the rift in noosphere

[mighty violet]

stalker 2 master is really not for me because the fps drops requires me to reload save

[vernal lily]

bro I'm so cooked why did I read it like that

[sacred cedar]

Master affects your fps?

[teal shadow]

I did too for the first few secconds
youre not alone

[mighty violet]

i meant the game

[mighty violet]

but master difficulty i cant save freely

[sacred cedar]

You can freely safe
At campfires

[robust pendant]

Thats not freely

[mighty violet]

im watching a cutscene with 6 fps rn

[sacred cedar]

It is, it's absolutely free to save at a campfire

[robust pendant]

[sacred cedar]

How's the stash rebalancing? Did they put more stuff in them or less?

[mighty violet]

should i try a modded playthrough first or vanilla master playthrough first

[sacred cedar]

Just play vanilla unless you wanna deal with broken mods come next update

[ruby gale]

Apparently mods are bricked after 1.7, at least on console they are

[left quest]

I hate the bug where artifacts spawn under the ground i could have gotten like 4 artifacts by now instead got 1, the artifact economy is crashing rapidly.

[mighty violet]

i dont wanna suffer yet though

[ruby gale]

Underground artifacts have always been an issue since launch, kinda sad to see it hasn't been fixed yet apparently

[left quest]

Born to collect artifacts, forced to hunt mutants.

[mighty violet]

really? artifacts in 1.6 was fine in my experience

[robust pendant]

If it was, it was very little of an issue before 1.7

[robust pendant]

Also, most, yesh, but they are supposedly working on a fix

[ruby gale]

Supposedly

[sacred cedar]

You know who's responsible for that don't you?

[robust pendant]

Well, they are. The thing is that it has to drop

[mighty violet]

I’m up, he sees me, I’m down!

[ruby gale]

Granted I haven't played in awhile, but back at launch i remember a lot of people complaining about it, at least with weird water

[hallow shadow]

I’m up, he sees me, I’m down!

That’s my justification for always throwing myself around, in Helldivers.
“Bro. Why are you always Dolphin Diving?”
“I’m up. He sees me. I’m down.”

Plus. It’s called Helldivers.
Not Heckdippers

[vernal lily]

Not sure if it'll work, but this may be a solution

This week seems like it’s going to has a hotfix for that artifact bugs

[mighty violet]

the worst part is that my internet is down so i'll have to download the patch with mobile data fuckkkk

[umbral lodge]

I think i just found my favorite charecter

[mighty violet]

i love how stalker 2's opening pays a tribute to SoC opening

[shadow token]

Probably will not bee too huge

[mighty violet]

idk but 1.7 Hotfix 1 was 25 GB

[umbral lodge]

Crest by far is pretty chill

[shadow token]

Damm, well on the good part probably tons of things will be fixed

[ruby gale]

Can only hope

[shadow token]

Speak to us ohh Monolith, say something

[sacred cedar]

Common Freedom L

[mighty violet]

blame my ISP not me

[sacred cedar]

Nah fam this one's on you

[hallow shadow]

My ISP makes me pay for UPnP

[sacred cedar]

Your ISP saw your role and was like "Take this Freedomer"

[hallow shadow]

Better than being duty.

[sacred cedar]

Duty>Freedom everyday

[hallow shadow]

Duty reminds me of that one washed up guy in Fable that you kill.
What’s his name… Thunder?

[sacred cedar]

Duty used to be the best faction, now they are just second best after Ward

[robust pendant]

Btw: #☢┃stalker-general message

[umbral lodge]

I honestly am a loner so far

If clear sky was an option I'd be clear sky tho

[hallow shadow]

Ward is just SIRCAA’s PMC.

[shadow token]

Oh yeah i saw this , thanks for ask for the pin ( i’m too lazy for remember the process but it’s nice to have it there in case we need it)

[sacred cedar]

SIRCAA is just wards Lab Geeks

[weary hedge]

Clear sky is always an option

[hallow shadow]

SIRCAA precedes the Ward.
One would not exist without the other.

[umbral lodge]

Ive been a fan of clear sky since I took the time to speak to the scientist in the base while playing clear sky

[shadow token]

Yeah cs always

[hallow shadow]

Mid-December, Fallout 4 (console) gets an update to Mod Storage.
No longer will we be stuck with a 2Gb limit.

[sacred cedar]

Unfortunately all of the old factions kinda fell off, I'm really bummed about Duty not being in Rostock and how Loners are basically just bandits but like the care bear version

[strong onyx]

Believe it when I see it, Bethesda promises a lot of things.

[umbral lodge]

I miss the farm base in cordon

[shadow token]

Everytime i see an incoming fallout 4 update i can hear the ground trembling on nexus

[hallow shadow]

Cool. You’ll see it halfway through December.

[weary hedge]

I miss the renegades and how bandits used to be

Garbage peaked in clear sky

[sacred cedar]

Renegades is such a meme faction

[shadow token]

Do you guys think they will bring new factions on dlc?

[umbral lodge]

Ive never really care for bandits or renegades. It sucks that there's no interaction other than shooting eachother

[weary hedge]

That’s the point

[shadow token]

Maybe one of two dlc could be related to a new faction on the zone

[sacred cedar]

SIN

[weary hedge]

You can literally join the bandits in clear sky and take over most the zone

[shadow token]

That would be cool, finally they will make new faces for zombies i swear they’re all twins with diferent suits

[umbral lodge]

I never did anything other than stay with cs in my run

[sacred cedar]

I guess you have never been to Ukraine/Russia huh

[weary hedge]

Damn. You can also do the same with freedom and duty

[shadow token]

There is not a single bald zombie, that’s unreal

[gilded kayak]

Oh cool sseth dropped a video about GAMMA
We are all going to die

[umbral lodge]

Ive always found i like freedom over duty

But freedom now just feels like diet bandits

[sacred cedar]

It's the zone magic making hair grown or whatever it's not that big of a deal

[weary hedge]

How

[mighty violet]

freedom now are just capitalists with fresh breads

[shadow token]

Ok you have a point here i give you that

[weary hedge]

Freedom is the most tame faction in the game

Stalker 2 that is

[umbral lodge]

Im going off old games knowledge, I also haven't progessed that far

[sacred cedar]

The self proclaimed anarchy faction btw

[mighty violet]

SoC Freedom was something else

[south parcel]

I need some help

[umbral lodge]

Ive been roaming the zone in search of enlightenment

[shadow token]

The most looking artifact of the zone…"fake hair pelukin”

[mighty violet]

Uncle Yar <3

[south parcel]

How should my display settings be?

[sacred cedar]

TFW no "bread" in stalker 2

[south parcel]

It's way too dark at times but I don't want it to be too bright
