Have you been facing any performance issues? Try reducing the overclocking of ur GPU.

[tranquil totem]

Never overclock before

[ebon blade]

Do you have any Mods installed?

[tranquil totem]

All removed, delete all stalker file within AppData, uninstall the game and reinstall still the same

[ebon blade]

Don't write a book.

So you did have Mods installed when you crashed?
Are you using your Modded saves to return to your game?

[tranquil totem]

Yes

[ebon blade]

Try going farther back in time. If they crash, keep going farther back.

[tranquil totem]

I'll do that , Thank you

[shell flax]

I watched this video half expecting the guy to just keel over abruptly

[fathom herald]

Morning monolithians

[weary hedge]

Worst comes to worse you might have to start a new save modless

But if u do go the mod route, expect issues to occur cause the game gets updated quite often

[ebon blade]

This is a new armor and backpack.

[cyan sparrow]

Mod?

[shell flax]

Nah, it’s a variant of the Corps that’s in vanilla

I’m more surprised you haven’t seen it, Tejas

[tranquil mantle]

After hearing rumors about a stalker 2 dlc coming at some point I wonder if Lymansk will become a playable area

[hardy saddle]

Who gonna tell em

[cyan sparrow]

There is many speculations, but i didn't see anything precise in that regard.
However maybe in DLC we will have at least pole dancing nuns at all bars.

[hardy saddle]

I need a skif apartment mod, so I can see what the fuss was about.

[tranquil mantle]

Am I super out of the loop of something

[hardy saddle]

There’s a radio just across the raised bridge of lymansk. Activating it will play a bunch of voices and eerie stuff. Likely hinting at a later dlc. (Plus lymansk is decently modeled In game.) for it to be a dlc.

There’s a few videos in YT, I also and likely other stalkers went to the location themselves and experienced it.

[tranquil mantle]

Okay that makes sense, I just went over there for the main story line and saw a pda about Lymansk which is what made me wonder

I've avoided watching any lore videos on stalker 2 and I'm not done yet so I'm kinda in the dark

[tranquil totem]

You are right my good sir, after trying a few times and still CTD, I am now off to a new start 🥲

[ebon blade]

No.

[ebon blade]

No one has ever worn this before at Yaniv. It's a new armor in the game.

Keep in mind I've been playing the same game for over a year.

[hearty tendon]

Alternate ending where you sue Dalin

[umbral mantle]

I'm waiting to be able to visit the Iron Forest, CNPP, and the Generators in S2

[tranquil mantle]

Could anyone help me with a question I have about the Diamond exoskeleton?

[cyan sparrow]

Sure, shoot.

[tranquil mantle]

I have it fully upgraded besides the chest section, where I need to pick between the static field generator for radiation protection or the psi protection. When I select the static field generator its showing no increase in protection in my bars even though I'm not maxed out

I hope that makes sense, the active filters before this showed a blue bar representing the increase if purchased, but this one isnt. Wondering if thats normal or if it's possibly bugged

[main jewel]

every few patches these areas get updated

in pripyat the rad zone when you get rads if your close to the edge (of the end of the playable map) has slightly pushed back around the northern side

and a pack of dogs will spawn there

[cyan sparrow]

Wanted to reproduce, however after launching my game i realized all my slots currently don't contain the exo, sry i pass.

[tranquil mantle]

Haha no worries, I appreciate you trying!

Oh I'm dumb you can get both upgrades anyways lmao

[cyan sparrow]

Yes, makes sense. Same in guns, some upgrades you need to choice, even if owning both.

You wrote 'pick between' so i did assume you're aware that you can pick only one.

[tranquil mantle]

I think I assumed I had to choose between one or the other based on previous experiences with armor

Happy I don't though

[steep bloom]

I have 5 artifacts slots and I have full protection on everything now except physical damage

I also switched from the fora to the As val

But had to give up Rhino cause they use same ammo😭

[sly ocean]

Eyyo where is the dude who wanted a hyper cube so bad?

@wanton blaze ah thats the one!!!

I summon you here to tell you i found another one😂😂

[sly ocean]

Over by the rock village with the illusionsXD

[wanton blaze]

Oh Monolith Brain Scorch this man

[sly ocean]

I have 3 now!!!!

[wanton blaze]

GIMME 1

[sly ocean]

It doesnt even want to start the bleeding effect now XD

[wanton blaze]

I did get 2 pedals yesterday though which is nice. Its one of my favorite artifacts in general look wise

[sly ocean]

I do have to say i want one more liquid rock^^

[mighty violet]

y r u horse

[wanton blaze]

Why not horse

[sly ocean]

I got the weird nut recently too

[wanton blaze]

Its my favorite Weird item puzzle

[sly ocean]

The firewhirl isnt the Problem its the height to get there

Killed me 2 times just fallingXD

[wanton blaze]

Honestly the Cooling Towers area is one of my favorites

Did you go up the side ladder to the top of the cooling tower? Its a step ladder with grenade traps and a portal up

[sly ocean]

Lookwise yes but the weather is just horrible with how much it changes

[sly ocean]

Yes i did^^

And i jumped all the way down into the other anomaly

[wanton blaze]

My favorite spot is the sitting spot looking at the CNPP and Reactor 5 building.

Its my favorite on the whole map. Just pure vibe

[sly ocean]

I love how the unfinished reactor building is accurate too

[wanton blaze]

With the RBMK core is so cool. Love the detail

[sly ocean]

Yeaaa you can see all the rods and where the uranium rods would be and the gravite rods its fricking awesome

[wanton blaze]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

Some of my favorite screenshots from that area

[sly ocean]

Yea its awesome ^^

Too bad there is no multiplayer i would enjoyed taking you around the zone and getting you that hypercube XD

Btw i found out that the flytrap artifact has the same effects as the Springs but no radiation

[wanton blaze]

Multiplayer of just like 4 man patrols similar to the NPC ones would be awesome. Might end up a mod or something in the future when the normal Multiplayer drops.

[sly ocean]

We will see but it would be awesome

[ebon blade]

Basic and then fully upgraded.

[sacred cedar]

give up the rhino in favor of the val
Damn you just went full Renegade, you never go full Renegade

[steep bloom]

I got 500 ammo for val

300 of yellow ones

I swear if u see my stash u would kill me for it

[tranquil mantle]

Thank you, I just checked mine again after reloading and found it the radiation is now maxed out, so it must have been bugged

[sacred cedar]

The rhino one taps exos and has an effective accuracy of a sniper rifle

[steep bloom]

I got 100 anti radiation medicines

[sacred cedar]

It's literally the best weapon

[steep bloom]

Ye but its slow, for now its not the best cause I don't really fight exo, also idk why normal criminals tanking like 3 shots of it, I didn't sell it I just placed it in stash for now

Also like I said gave it up cause I didn't want to use 2 weapons that use same ammo😭

[sacred cedar]

You're bad at shooting if it takes you 3 shots to kill people with it

[steep bloom]

Probably still figuring out, cause sometimes bullets don't go where i aim

Either the bullet drop is realistic on every single weapon or idk

[sacred cedar]

Are you hip firing?

[steep bloom]

Only on close range and certain times, most time I aim

Should I hip fire instead?

[sacred cedar]

Yes

[steep bloom]

Damn

[sacred cedar]

It's way more efficient and cooler

[steep bloom]

With the saiga I hipfire cause lowk aiming whitout a proper sight is useless on it

The as Val i aim with iron and I find myself good with it

[sacred cedar]

saiga
Not the superior ram 12

[steep bloom]

I have sledgehammer but I really don't wanna use it

Maybe another time, its that personally I don't like the spas

[sacred cedar]

You racist against the french?

[steep bloom]

Nah

[sacred cedar]

You sure?

Not even a little bit?

[steep bloom]

I mean aside from the natural rivalry that automatically spawns when u are born in Italy

[sacred cedar]

An eeny beety tiny bit?

[steep bloom]

I mean a bit but on other games

Like r6

Damn I hate twitch

[sacred cedar]

I too hate the french
I mean twitch

[tranquil mantle]

Does anyone know if 7.62x39 is in the game or is it just 7.62x54?

[steep bloom]

I think its just 7.62x54

U gotta see the weapons and read which one they use

Like I found 10 electromagnetic ammo or sum

[sacred cedar]

It is

It's just rare as shit and isn't in any vendor stock I believe

[tranquil mantle]

Ah okay thanks, I was looking at that Dnipro 7.62 conversion thinking it would be the 7.62x54 that the rpm uses but read it actually uses 7.62x39

[marsh iron]

(Dnipro conversion uses 7.62x54 - that's what I used for finishing the game in my last playthrough; 7.62x39 has been officially removed since the ammo revamp update but you may encounter them due to mods or bug as discussed here #📜┃gsc-answers message)

[sacred cedar]

Oh shit they have? I only remember having them in my old save file

[tranquil mantle]

Awesome thanks a lot, I was kind of thinking that it got all simplified into x54 but was having trouble verifying that. How did you like the Dnipro with 7.62?

[marsh iron]

fun it's my second run so just wanted to give it a shot (even though I bought the Whip as well as always)

[tranquil mantle]

I have a fully upgraded Kharod and Dnipro, I like the Kharod more I just got access to Pripyat and I think I'm going to keep a 7.62 Dnipro on me for more dangerous enemies

I'm currently running Kharod, SVU, Rhino

[sacred cedar]

What do you need an SVU and a Rhino for

[marsh iron]

I'm a Dnipro enjoyer - third run still can't live without it (same with SVD/SVU ye)

[tranquil mantle]

I like it a lot but I find the Kharod with a 5.45 conversion to be a slightly bit better for all situations

If it was viable I would just run dnipro 7.62 but I already use that ammo for the SVU and it's hard to come by

[sacred cedar]

Try running the Groza, I heard it's pretty good with recent patches

[marsh iron]

I only use high quality ammo on SVD/SVU so ammo is never in competition when I converted the Dnipro calibre

[tranquil mantle]

Oh yeah that's a good point I'm doing the same. Can the Dnipro 7.62 only take LPS ball or can it take AP and HQ ?

[shrewd whale]

Are emissions on a timer or they just happen randomly?

[marsh iron]

(my loot goblin theory since clear sky is it hits when you are over encumbered )

[tranquil mantle]

Hercules and energy drinks for the win

[marsh iron]

ok just checked Dnipro can use all versions of 7.62x54 with the calibre change

[tranquil mantle]

Oh wow man using AP or HQ with that must be crazy OP

[marsh iron]

(ye it slaps)

[tranquil mantle]

What difficulty do you normally play on

[marsh iron]

I was on Stalker for the second run since it was not an ending I wanted lol (so really wanted to end it fast) but on Vet it's been great as well

[zinc fox]

what scope can we add to the three line rifle? and what attachments? I was hoping of going for a higher magnification scope and a suppressor

[tranquil mantle]

I'm on my first playthrough and I've stuck with Stalker, on my next one where I do the opposite story paths I'll most likely do veteran or higher

While the combat can still be plenty dangerous on Stalker, in my experience once you hit like mid game you just have so much money and supplies

I just got access to Jupiter and have the best everything and almost 1 million coupons lol

[sacred cedar]

You can only put a coli sight on it

[marsh iron]

I think the mutant parts really helped and I love artifact hunting so repair hurts sure lol but it's managable ye

[sacred cedar]

If you do that it becomes a mag-fed rifle too, also the unique one has iron sights for the authentic nagant feeling

[tranquil mantle]

I like that you can sell mutant parts anywhere but the trader at malachite will actually pay you top dollar for them

[marsh iron]

yes make bank for science

[tranquil mantle]

It's fun saving up my stash of different mutant parts then going in and seeing what orders need to be filled

I have heard that mutant spawns are bugged though so I wonder if getting mutant part orders filled will be more difficult after their spawns are fixed

[zinc fox]

oh damn, was expecting to run this bolty as my main compared to the Lynx, thanks for the info!

[sacred cedar]

It has 100 base damage and you can upgrade it for more damage too, and frankly it's a beast all the way up until you have to fight only exos because it has 10% penetration

But it's an absolute beast of a "bang for buck" type of weapon

But it eventually gets outclassed by the Mark 1 and svu

[vapid galleon]

[sacred cedar]

Do Birch and the hag in Zaton

[zinc fox]

Definitely, I was using the Mark 1 and Lynx, and decided I should get the three line rifle while I hunt for a m701 super, but I agree that it has an impressive damage compared to the Marksman rifles, however, I do find the magnification lacking. Gonna try the M701 and hope it has 8x or something

[tranquil mantle]

She looks a little different than I remember...

[marsh iron]

(honestly love this look she looks badass)

[tranquil mantle]

Being a tech in the zone must be so nice, literally no one messes with you because you're so needed

[proven hollow]

do sidorovich 😛

[zinc fox]

OR you get kidnapped, lmfao

[tranquil mantle]

Oh yeah huh...

The one you linked is my own personal screenshot.

[rough yacht]

It’s 5 am for me and I only need 40 mins until I’m off work!!!

[vernal lily]

Damn, I also had to go to work at 5 am yesterday and barely slept. Although I don't have any work today luckily. Good luck.

[acoustic orchid]

Oh sorry is that you?

[floral pawn]

Does anyone know how to reset npc's AI on PC. The vendors at Yanev station are all standing up as if they are agroo without any threat around. I can still purchase items but their speech options are bugged as well.
Thank you.

[ebon blade]

That's Harpy, before they removed her turtleneck.

[acoustic orchid]

Sorry I mean your gameplay

Not woke up yet🤣

[proven hollow]

Dave bringing the heat 😛

[rough yacht]

Thanks I’m gonna take a nap when I get home and hopefully I can continue playing stalker 2 before I have to go back again

[ebon blade]

I have 6,157 screenshots of Stalker 2.
All of them are actually video stills.

[acoustic orchid]

Wow very impressive

[sacred cedar]

As far as I know there are only 2 8x scopes the falcon one for Mark 1 and the PSO one for the vintar that you can't actually use at all

[sacred cedar]

It's clearly a neck gator/mpc

[ebon blade]

That's really the only way to get epic shots.

[proven hollow]

A dentist in the zone would make bank tbh...

[sacred cedar]

Scoped Saiga?

[marsh iron]

(hands em a sausage)

[sacred cedar]

[ebon blade]

Yes, same one I have on my ZUBR-19.

[oblique igloo]

! What an ugly bad guy face

[acoustic orchid]

Great close up.

[rough yacht]

Looks like my brother

[weary hedge]

When using shotguns is slug better than normal ammo?

[stoic flicker]

against armoured targets like mutants, or late game npcs

[sacred cedar]

It all depends on what you are trying to kill

[weary hedge]

Thx yes im only using saiga for mutants

[stoic flicker]

I think you still have to be close tho, the game considers it close range, even tho a slug can go pretty far irl, but I am not sure on what logic the game is using for that

[weary hedge]

Mhh idk i never had any problems with saiga upto 50m

[stoic flicker]

aight good to know, I find you get a lot of slugs early game then it starts to teeter off and instead you get (flechette?) HP rounds that are good for other mutants

Mutants like Pseudogiants and Chimeras have a lot of armour, whereas like a bloodsucker HP rounds are better

[weary hedge]

I never seen those tbh im at pripyat now i only buy slug

Using the saiga like an Ar works wonders against exos and mutants haa

[stoic flicker]

I remember in Call of Pripyat, specifically with MISERY mod, I would use a TOZ-34 (or Olympia in that game) because it had buckshot for the classic shotgunning and slugs for long range, it was so crazy versatile

InStalker 2 I tend to use the AK, and my secondary is a M701

[proven hollow]

Saiga my beloved

[weary hedge]

Nice haha

[stoic flicker]

the one you get from the ultimate pack, the fancy Saiga is actually such a goat.

[weary hedge]

I use dnipro with caliber change and saiga with slugs works like a charm

[proven hollow]

I just always run to the car wrecks in Yantar and do a few little jumps to get it there 😛

[stoic flicker]

you can do that? pretty cool xD

[sacred cedar]

If you really want it you can go into pripyat right after the lesser zone and grab whatever you want there

[stoic flicker]

Are the monolith there?

[sacred cedar]

Everythings there

Just gotta be careful and quick

Bring some diapers and energy drinks

[stoic flicker]

Nice. xD

[shrewd whale]

Should I buy the SSP-100 Discovery or hold out for something better

[still current]

Which version of game do you own?

If you have the journalist stashes then no need

[shrewd whale]

I don't think I do since I have the base version

[still current]

Then you may need to buy it after all

[sacred cedar]

There is a psz falcon at Malachite just grab that

[still current]

Tho, I don't think it's worth the money

[sacred cedar]

What do you even need the science suits for?

[still current]

Rad and anomaly protection obviously

[sacred cedar]

I mean I guess artifact hunting is easier but like only chem and gravity anomalies are hard to navigate

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker-2-korshunov-colonel-korshunov-ward-gif-7609651101951900652

God damn image perms I always forget

[still current]

If he's playing on master then well, some anomalies hit sooo darn hard

[still current]

Not really

The most annoying are electro

One shot

[sacred cedar]

I mean I don't have problems navigating electros because the timings between resets and trigger are just right

[still current]

Some chemical fields do have crazy cloud zones which can prove impossible to navigate if you fail to detect the right moment lmao

[fleet plank]

Since there will be a dlc coming in 2026 i just wanna ask
What ending do you guys think it'll go off of?

[sacred cedar]

But anomaly fields with springboards become a medkit fiesta for me

[still current]

Yeah, but a slight position mistake would blast you to hell

[sacred cedar]

The timing on them just seems off and the range is WAY to huge

[still current]

I mean, have you played master?

If you did then you'd get what I mean

[sacred cedar]

I'm playing master right now

I know what you mean

[still current]

Anomalies are one shot death until you get proper artifacts

[sacred cedar]

I'm just saying it's easier not to trigger them then springboards

[still current]

Hardest 2 in terms of damage infliction are electro and whirlwind

[sacred cedar]

Chemos are just so random with the gas clouds I really don't know how to tactically approach them other than putting on all the chem resist you can

[sacred cedar]

Whirligig?

[still current]

Well, during test which made 70% of my playthrough as master, there was a hit box issue, so yeah

I think you was fortunate enough to have that fixed in public release lmao

[still current]

Yeah that too

[sacred cedar]

Thanks for beta testing

[sacred cedar]

At least you can navigate around them well

[stoic flicker]

I dont bother stacking any electro protection, it always one shots me

[still current]

Yeah but again, one small mistake get send you to hell

[stoic flicker]

Maybe if it was maxed out it would make a difference

[still current]

Also, I might look like I'm exaggerating but like I said, during test, it was nearly impossible

[still current]

Well, yeah, you can get upgrades and 2 good artifacts to survive the one shot ordeal

I kinda built proper protection to everything in my playthorough, but electro. I had to give up that after getting 2 liquid rocks

Felt bad to leave those in my stash

[sacred cedar]

me pressing F10 and typing a few words

Not so tough now electro anomalies

[still current]

Lucky

[stoic flicker]

yeah liquid rock is goat

[still current]

It made repairing less annoying

[sacred cedar]

They need to make more Legendary artifacts, preferably covering every single kind of buff

[stoic flicker]

my current setup is Flytrap, spring, torch and liquid rock

[still current]

I have 2 compasses, 2 quid rocks and plenty of other crazy ass ones.

Tho, I'm using 1 compass, 2 liquid, and idk the other one

Probably star

[sacred cedar]

I have 2 compasses, liquids and hypercubes before going to wild island BUT IM STILL MISSING 5 COMMON ARTIFACTS

[still current]

Yeah and a hypercube

Thanks for the reminder haha

[sacred cedar]

Stupid ass randomness

[still current]

So, I'm basically a walking mountain

[sacred cedar]

Im this close to just spawning those in at this point

[stoic flicker]

i'd like a nightstar tbh

[vapid galleon]

hello guys, why the chat is orange and red? my eyes are gonna be blind, ban these guys

[still current]

You're lucky to get the highest tier yk

[still current]

It's almost a high tier

Missing one bar tho

It comes before compass

[sacred cedar]

Yeah but after Siirca it's almost impossible to find common artifacts

And I want that achievement

[stoic flicker]

I like to prio carry weight

[sacred cedar]

mfw trying to get the grenade shooting achievement

[still current]

Got that one hehe

Still unable to finish gathering gear and artifacts achievements tho

[sacred cedar]

I just can't do it man it feels like I'm shooting the grenades but they never explode

[still current]

It should explode tho, so you didn't get it right

[sacred cedar]

I'm trying but it's hard to shoot them

[still current]

I shot my own grenade

I threw it up and took aim

Got it the first time

[wind thunder]

Ward's best soldier? pretty sure I took him down once with all his buddies

well, bloodsucker got half of them

[sacred cedar]

You can do that?

[still current]

Yep

It's not easy tho

But you can get it

[sacred cedar]

I feel like it should be easier if you can just chuck straight up in a line

I'll try that when I'm at my desk

[still current]

Throw it up and take aim and keep shooting single shots while calculating bullet trajectory and timing ofc

You can throw it on the ground and shoot it before it explodes

Well, that'll be way easier

[rain slate]

Games I's trippy on ketamine

[still current]

With a shotgun

You can take the blast head on

[indigo stone]

I miss FT-200M, please add this rifle 😍

[sacred cedar]

There's a mod that adds it but it's not very good

Same mod adds the Abakan
It does not have a 2shot burst mode

[oblique igloo]

hello stalker have nice sunday

[ancient fractal]

Chernobyl could've been avoided if the communists boiled water

And put more money in better protecting the reactor

[oblique igloo]

Now it's easy to say a lot of things about Chernobyl but now it's no use

[ancient fractal]

Nah fr?

[bright ether]

Skiiiif

[ancient fractal]

Did we get roadside picnic from the incident?

[bright ether]

How long it takes to reset the malachite npcs after the ward unexpected visit?

I hope they will turn green back again eventually.

[dreamy dagger]

Anyone ever had issues with missing music in this game?

[proven hollow]

No, I always hit those, just get better aim bro

[dreamy dagger]

All sliders in the settings are maxed, I only hear env ambience

[carmine star]

always get excited when i see an announcement notification, then dissapointed when it is nothing to do with the game 🙁

[dreamy dagger]

Das why you do this. Disable notifications, turn it DARK GREY.

https://tenor.com/view/explaining-stalker-сталкер-флинт-сигма-gif-15010663227243103228

@ebon blade Any idea on the missing music?

[rough crater]

they do have a very annoying habit of misusing the pings

[dreamy dagger]

You thank God it wasnt another Anomaly x Gamma crossover

[vapid galleon]

#📰┃announcement message o7

[sacred cedar]

Imagine if gamma and anomaly would make a crossover mod

[dreamy dagger]

As if in here we give a fvck

Make it the most popular mod on Earth. 0 fvcks given.

Popularity doesnt equal quality - faxs

[proven hollow]

I can't even tell if this is bait, which makes it 💯 bait tbh

[sacred cedar]

[proven hollow]

I suppose there really is a big subset of people who don't know what GAMMA actually stands for

[sacred cedar]

Remember

[dreamy dagger]

Gamma stands for Gayma

[sacred cedar]

Every single stalker mod is either lost alpha or misery

[proven hollow]

nope, every single stalker mod is either lost alpha or call of chernobyl

[half seal]

is gamma finally tolerated here?

[proven hollow]

No

[stoic flicker]

do people not like gamma? thought it was meant to be super good?

[proven hollow]

it's slop

[harsh jungle]

we just like to dislike on gamma

[sacred cedar]

Call of Chernobyl is also misery

[harsh jungle]

we are a bit of haters

[proven hollow]

ooh, no, i suppose they are different, I'd say every stalker mod is either lost alpha, or CoC, or Misery

[stoic flicker]

Misery was the only mod I tried

Solely for the sniper rifle (Dragonfire or something)

[sacred cedar]

The joke is that even CoC builds on Misery ideas, it's like the OG slop mod

Misery walked so GAMMA could be promoted by GSC on their official website and discord

[proven hollow]

it doesn't though, CoC and Misery are entirely different concepts

[half seal]

got better after the last updates, but overall a inventory simulator

[sacred cedar]

I sometimes imagine what the creators of Misery feel like watching a talentless hack Frenchman take their idea and become so famous

[regal sinew]

Imma tell Grok you said that, he may come stab you with a baguette.

[sacred cedar]

I'm not afraid

I am Ward's best soldier I am used to the toughest battles

[half seal]

some people like it, some can't even play it and others have personal hate against the creators.

[proven hollow]

CoC is a full on sandbox adding pretty much all maps together in the CoP engine, Misery is a 64 bit engine expanding upon just CoP

[regal sinew]

Personally I like GAMMA, but it isn’t a stalker game. It’s probably closer to some sort of Tarkov hybrid.

[proven hollow]

I have no hate against GAMMA, I just think it's slop that has nothing to do with Stalker, like CoD is slop, like marvel movies are slop, uninspirational, boring, requires a specific kind of stupity and numbness to like

[half seal]

the first 3 stalker games are pretty boring without mods, I played my first stalker when I was 14 years old.

[proven hollow]

so... is that last year, 10 years ago, or 15 years ago?

[sacred cedar]

It's actually next year

[half seal]

15 years ago

[regal sinew]

Depends on who you ask tbh, there’s still folks out there who love the pure vanilla experience.

[proven hollow]

Well, I think there are mods for every title that improve upon the vanilla experience though

Complete Mod enjoyers?

[half seal]

Of course, the first part is really a lot of fun, especially when you're at the end and no longer have ammunition. then you think about running all the way back just for ammunition or throw with bread.

[regal sinew]

Oh yeah, I prefer to mod the games myself too, the vanilla is a bit outdated looking to me.

[proven hollow]

We all know deep in our hearts OP 2.2 is the best mod

[sacred cedar]

You haven't beaten SoC if you didn't beat it in 1.0 unpatched release version

[robust pendant]

How do you even end like this

Even at veteran difficulty you pretty much never run out of ammo unless you unload 30 mags.
Same for meds

[robust pendant]

Also, what?

They both have no relation with each other

[half seal]

almost every time this happened to me, even with a mod

[sacred cedar]

Cop based slop bloats

[robust pendant]

Then you seem to mismanage your resources

[dusk jacinth]

I recently played again the OGs and funnily enough, CoP was my least favorite of them. It's was just running around without any treat whatsoever. And after 20 min from the start I could have high end gear almost.

[half seal]

yeah I feel you

[sacred cedar]

No way you think CS was better then CoP

[proven hollow]

love the way that OP2.2 has an installation instruction and then a full page of "how not to break this modpack"

[robust pendant]

CS is in fact better than CoP

[sacred cedar]

Especially pure vanilla CS is so horrible in hindsight

[robust pendant]

Just for the reason that CoP is the most boring out of the three

[robust pendant]

Also pure vanilla cs isnt as bad as many make it out to be

[proven hollow]

I like SoC > CS > CoP

[river chasm]

• don't breathe in the wrong direction in the opening hours

[robust pendant]

I've finished it at least twice vanilla, no major bugs. Few alife stuff here and there and a crash

[dusk jacinth]

Kind of, the swaps are awesome, but the ending was meh.. But it was not that bad. I only used a mod that made guns a bit more lethal but otherwise it was vanilla.

[proven hollow]

This modpack stutters -> here's a potential fix for the stutter -> that might break X Y and Z though -> you'll still have stutter

[robust pendant]

The ending and story are in fact the weakest part, but the lore, the alife and the gunplay are nice, if you use the upgrade system of course

[river chasm]

The ending in CS is jarringly rushed but up to then it's pretty solid

[robust pendant]

As well as QoL fixes and improvements of the maps from SoC. And the graphics

Its just the main story that suffers greatly

[river chasm]

I kinda disliked the way side quests worked too but it wasn't terrible

[regal sinew]

Side quests in CoP were dope.

[proven hollow]

I really liked the crafting system in the original games though

[dusk jacinth]

Crafting systems?

[regal sinew]

Lolwut?

[robust pendant]

Its trolling

[eternal cosmos]

he's trolling

[proven hollow]

[cyan sparrow]

Almost fall of the road when i get notification about announcement for. stalker officials

[robust pendant]

There was a guy here long ago that defended the games had crafting

[half seal]

@sacred cedar is the worst troll here

[proven hollow]

it was bad bait, i'm sorry

[robust pendant]

And that guy indeed wasnt trolling

[proven hollow]

i'll do better

[river chasm]

I also liked the crafting system (in that there wasn't one)

[stoic flicker]

I cant remember if it was vanilla or MISERY but I remember for the Bloodsucker lair, I dropped explosive cannisters throughout their sleeping area, then tossed a grenade in and blew them all up lmao

[regal sinew]

Aye that’s a side mission in vanilla CoP.

[robust pendant]

Its in both

But its a funny thing to do, yeah

Tbh side quests are the only thing I like in CoP

Maybe 2 or 3 parts of the map

[regal sinew]

I liked the anomalous plant one, where after you pick it up the anomaly field grows twice as big.

Was boring but cool how it slightly changed the map.

[robust pendant]

I didnt realise it got bigger ngl

[stoic flicker]

my favourite was hunting the Chimera at night

I remember following the quest marker, it was pitch black and I was like, it should be here, where is it?

Then the thunder flashed, I saw its silhouette like 25 meters infront of me, it flashed again and the Chimera was mid pounce and I was dead

straight from the movies

[sacred cedar]

I dunno what you're all on but for me CS was by far the weakest of the originals, it's only saving grace was the faction wars and bandit radio

[eternal cosmos]

IMO all of them have their charm:)

[stoic flicker]

I only played CoP

[sly ocean]

Why is the Ssp 100M so fricking expensive to maintain

[north prism]

[sly ocean]

?

[sacred cedar]

because its expensive

[regal sinew]

[sly ocean]

But why?

[fierce nexus]

[sacred cedar]

Is it upgraded?

[sly ocean]

Yes

[regal sinew]

That’s why lol.

[sacred cedar]

Repair cost is based on total item value the more expensive it is the more repair costs

[regal sinew]

The more you upgrade shiz the more it costs to repair.

[sacred cedar]

That lead containers you bought for 10k each? Are all factoring into repair cost

[sly ocean]

Bzt even if not the thing is 10k for 10% of its health

[sacred cedar]

You wanna know the real reason?

[sly ocean]

But i need those for my artifacts XD

[sacred cedar]

Because GAMMA MOD OF THE YEAR BY DEVELOPER OF THE YEAR is popular so Stalker 2 caters to the stalker audience which is mostly slop enjoyers

[sly ocean]

What?

[sacred cedar]

You heard me

[regal sinew]

[sly ocean]

Nah i understood nothing

[sacred cedar]

Then you understood it perfectly

[sly ocean]

Geez everyone would probably die in a survival Situation😅

[sly ocean]

Ward

[sacred cedar]

[sly ocean]

I found an lmg called Wolverine?

Is it any useful?

[sacred cedar]

no

[sly ocean]

But i found it deep in a tunnel

[sacred cedar]

You should have left it there

[spring timber]

AGREE

[sly ocean]

NO ITS MINE NOW!!!!

[proven hollow]

PUT IT BACK

[robust pendant]

at least I dont have to walk for 3 hours to find something minimally entertaining (like in CoP)

[sly ocean]

NEVER!!!!

[robust pendant]

walking from point A to B is important in this game, because the whole point of it is to go through a trip into the zone. Some people say that even SoC should've had travel system, but SoC had mostly well balanced maps that had something to do or see in pretty close gaps

or the gap it's at least shorter than in CoP

while also looking graphically more appealing than CoP, in general

[sly ocean]

Damn this LMG is sweet but his name is truly getting it XD

[sacred cedar]

PUT IT BACK YOU GRUBBY BANDIT SOME STALKER SPENT MONTHS SELLING ARTIFACTS FOR 1k COUPONS EACH TO AFFORD IT AND YOU JUST STEAL IT

[sly ocean]

I DONT CARE SHOULDN'T LEFT IT ALL ALONE IN A TUNNEL!!!!

I AM GONNA CARESS MY NEW GUN AND CALL HER CALINA!!!

[stoic flicker]

Where did you find this legendary weapon?

[sacred cedar]

IT WASNT ALONE IT WAS LOCKED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and actually when i picked it up there were a bunch of loners outside the bunker

[stoic flicker]

so I can also steal it

[sly ocean]

Wait i am gonna send you a pic

[sacred cedar]

DO NOT

[sly ocean]

I DID IT AND NOBODY IS NEVER GONNA STOP ME REEKING HAVOC AND HOARDING GUNS IN DA ZONE!!!!

Hello my friends

How are my fellow stalkers

You can suck my nut for 250k

[sly ocean]

Nah thats a weird nut

Fricking snork!

Ah my sweet wolverine how could i not have you its almost impossible witjput you now

[coral harbor]

if i install a mod from the nexus for the ~mods folder, just to fix mouse sensitivity, will that disable my achievements ?

[empty hare]

Ive now found my second body which contained the "fresh baked bread" from that bread line mission in Rostok. This was near cement factory, thats a-life doing its thing right?

[cyan sparrow]

Yes, but there is achievements enabler mod which works very well.

Does anyone know what the status symbol battery with a broken shield means?

[eternal cosmos]

Do anyone know about this weird mutant that was found in the swamps a while ago?

[eternal cosmos]

Energy drinks status, if you drink to much you will be delirious

Am i wrong?

[ornate dawn]

guys do u agree IPSF needs some kind of rework? they lack troop numbers and military bases are full of empty vehicles with like 2 soldiers defending them

[coral harbor]

just to confirm to install a mod i make a folder in "paks" and call it "~mods" and just extract the mod in there?

[ornate dawn]

their gear is too weak too tbh

[eternal cosmos]

Exactly

[cyan sparrow]

Yes, indeed.

[harsh jungle]

yup

[eternal cosmos]

IPSF is underfunded and they really don't matter in the zone like ward/sircaa

[cyan sparrow]

don't worry if there suddently will be 20+ files, it's always 'I want just one mod' beginning

[eternal cosmos]

But still i agree that their bases are lacking everything

[harsh jungle]

they have 4 vehicles per 1 staff or whatever

[ornate dawn]

ik they should be ''weak enough'' for the zone to work but they are a bit too weak

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah i agree

[ornate dawn]

i miss how the military worrked

but i kinda get it why they dont want us killing ukrainian soldiers at this time tbh

[eternal cosmos]

Can you not get the diamond exoskeleton at the spark bunker?

Do you guys think that sin will return in some dlc?

Got a diamond exoskeleton, a kitted out dnipro, a ram 2, good artefacts. What does a man do now..

[river chasm]

finish the game

[oak sluice]

And after? How entertaining is stalker 2 when you're done with the main story? I still have lots of stuff to do. Such as getting all arch artefacts and all artefacts, 1 million coupons and other achievements. But after?

[river chasm]

The end of the story is the end of the game. Though I guess it sounds like you already know what you want to do next before that

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/hai-hi-hello-hallo-cute-gif-9691911103176371831

[proven hollow]

after that you'll have played the game 200-ish hours so it's time to move on to the next game for a while 😛

[river chasm]

Then you can come back later after more updates and the first DLC and whatnot

[oak sluice]

I guess you're right. But after 37 ish hours all I can say is this game is just fantastic

Been having so much fun in it.

[oak sluice]

Hopefully the dlc won't bankrupt me 💔

[river chasm]

It took me around 100 hours to finish the game the first time and I was not completely exhaustive in my exploring, though I did touch most of the map

[dreamy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/scared-face-itstommylove-stalker-stalker-2-gif-4953837126718799172

[cobalt fiber]

Cool or too much?

[oak sluice]

I see, i may have rushed a bit then. I did make sure to complete all side quests I had tho.

But havent explored every nook and cranny of the map

[eternal cosmos]

Ai slop, learn photoshop

[robust pendant]

Not even, learn paint

Use canvas, idk

[oak sluice]

Oh btw, when I reach the end, can I not play anymore? Or does my game make a save file right before it

[proven hollow]

you know photoshop has a lot of AI features these days, right? And it's really not that good for drawing

[dreamy dagger]

Use Photoshrimp

[eternal cosmos]

Then don't use Ai features lol xD

[dreamy dagger]

Use SidorAIvich, foo

[river chasm]

The game should have an autosave before the point of no return, and you can load any other saves you have made

[eternal cosmos]

Oh so u are independent imbecile i got it

[cobalt fiber]

I don’t worry my daily living with other people’s problems

You’re a fan

Nice

I’ll make you an AI generated top fan badge

[cyan sparrow]

Coming from a user who lands on officials with gamma tag by hes name

[cobalt fiber]

He’s super annoyed cos I asked AI to make me a pfp based off my actual face with alterations

Let him blow off his steam

He clearly needs the output

[eternal cosmos]

sure buddy, i am sorry i'll let you live in your own bubble

[cobalt fiber]

Take a break

Eat a kitkat

Just don’t play gamma

[cyan sparrow]

I asked AI as well to make me a pfp based on text description, and it generated nosferatu in the hoodie xd

[cobalt fiber]

I have come around to the idea that AI ain’t all that bad this year lmao

I had my gf use it to help kick start a few of her uni stuff too

It’s come a long way tho cos a few years ago it was terrible

[cyan sparrow]

It's good at statistical pattern matching. I hope one day UBI, and we get time for all unfinished hobbies, but capitalism will not allow it.....

[eternal cosmos]

I agree with you on that, Ai is really really better than before but still Ai generated art is just stealing intelectual possesion. I in fact use Ai aswell.

And i am sorry for what i said, I get easily triggered.

[cobalt fiber]

The prompts were my face with alterations + a character from GTA 4 bro

I’m sure rockstar games aren’t all that bothered by my plagiarism of their character model

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah you are right

[cobalt fiber]

Beats using this lmao

That’s as far as my photoshop goes

[stoic flicker]

As a 3d artist, I dont like it for artwork. It relies on stealing others work to generate "its own" and at that it does a poor job (currently) having said that, I think it will eventually be a tool and the natural progression. Like how we went from paint brushes and canvas' to photoshop. But some people will always pay for man-made art

[eternal cosmos]

I think that i am just annoyed by the fact that i learned few years how to use PS and how to create art, then u are just saying to the machine to create that in 5 minutes xD

[stoic flicker]

Having said that, I wouldnt be against using it for making patterns, like if I gave it five patterns I made, and then asked it to generate more to get past the tedious work

[cobalt fiber]

For traditional art and for profit it’s kinda fucked to use it but just little things like my pfp for example it’s no biggie

[stoic flicker]

Well worth noting that making art with AI doesnt mean they know how to make art, they just know how to make prompts and I'm sure most people would admit this. I think the reality also is if you can use AI to fill the gaps in your skillset or time, like say thumbnails, why wouldnt you I guess ngl

[oak sluice]

Gamma is fire idk what yall on

[eternal cosmos]

yeah

[eternal cosmos]

It is really preference, i don't really play it much but i understand the phenomenon

[cobalt fiber]

isnt Gamma on their official website?

Or was that anomaly?

[eternal cosmos]

yes it is

[oak sluice]

Gamma is on gog now no?

[eternal cosmos]

Yes

[oak sluice]

Yeah so cool i spent 3 hours installing it the old way..

[eternal cosmos]

#📰┃announcement message

[eternal cosmos]

if you don't have CoP on gog don't bother cause you need it to add GAMMA to your Library

[stoic flicker]

I cant tell if people genuinely dislike Gamma or if its a meme

[eternal cosmos]

50/50

[oak sluice]

Rlly? Damn

[oak sluice]

It definitely takes a while to like and a little time to hate.

[eternal cosmos]

But if you wan't to play i could give you mine gog if you want

[oak sluice]

Nah im alr. Thanks. Still have it downloaded on my pc. Got stalker 2 to play anyway

[kindred fable]

I genuinely dislike it because of all the micromanagement it adds to the inventory, to the healing system, etc. Not into that at all. Not into the graphics either and not feeling like configuring it to look better for my eyes

[eternal cosmos]

yeah i think traditional installation can teach you how to behave with mods

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah the healing system is the only thing i don't like in gamma

[oak sluice]

It all becomes a pleasure with experience tbh.

[weary hedge]

I wonder what type of stalker YouTube videos yall guys would like to watch

I see a lot of stalker channels covering update and patches

But what about normal videos ? What would be an interest

[feral sigil]

Sup stalkers hows everyone

[kindred fable]

Doubt it. When I play stalker I want to run around, shoot stuff and explore stuff. The less inventory management the better for me - I simply don't enjoy that part of the gameplay

[oak sluice]

Honestly maybe guides

[oak sluice]

Prob the most useful vids of stalker

[weary hedge]

But guides I think now everything got covered

[eternal cosmos]

do you know reggie? I would like to see STALKER videos in this type.

[oak sluice]

Its understandable. Gamma isnt meant for every player

[weary hedge]

Reggie ?

[oak sluice]

Yeah theres that

[cobalt fiber]

Sorry I must have missed the part I said that was the issue

[eternal cosmos]

Yes, i could send a link to his channel.

[weary hedge]

Kindly link
Me up

I wanna see what’s his content…

[eternal cosmos]

https://www.youtube.com/@ReggieGames

I think the guy is somelike funny but still it is realy enjoyable to watch his TW:3 Warhammer videos

[weary hedge]

Wow - this guy IS A YOUTUBER

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah he is

[weary hedge]

These kind of videos take very very long time and effort

[cobalt fiber]

Is he a streamer or something

[weary hedge]

I think I might do a video like this and see the result

[eternal cosmos]

Especially to edit those videos

[cobalt fiber]

That many subs and views vs video count is crazy work

[weary hedge]

These videos probably he doesn’t edit alone

YouTubers mainly pay editors for these kind of major uploads

[eternal cosmos]

No he doesn't edit it alone, he has a guy from thailand (i think)

[weary hedge]

Not your daily slop

Frequency of uploads ?

[cobalt fiber]

He’s done well to get the amount of views and subs he’s got with the amount of and frequency of his videos

[eternal cosmos]

1 video in month/2 months

[kindred fable]

The only stuff I've watched was heavily edited meme stuff like Nikolai's vids
https://www.youtube.com/@NikoStalker

[weary hedge]

I can’t do like these videos

It’s kinda like difficult lol

[cobalt fiber]

I used to like franzj csgo videos lol

Dude was funny as fuck

[weary hedge]

I like to cover patches and updates for now for the game and fix arounds- am not a full time YouTuber but I’ll try to pump some good vid for taller

[kindred fable]

Yeah, that's why it's worth watching it. I have discord for updates and almost nobody needs walkthroughs on games like Stalker (unless you are playing a niche vasyanka with moon logic in the quests) so yeah

[weary hedge]

Am basically an Elden ring pvp content creator but I want to branch out to stalker too

I like this game since the first one on 2007

[cobalt fiber]

Tbh

Stalker content isn’t a bad shout because it isn’t over saturated

[weary hedge]

True

I also don’t stream a lot of people streaming it -

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah streaming is an odd one

[eternal cosmos]

Could you send me a link to your channel?

[cobalt fiber]

You have to be really niche to flourish with streaming

[eternal cosmos]

NVM

[weary hedge]

Yes it’s on my pfp

[cobalt fiber]

Well

Niche or have a pair of tits lol

The sad reality

[eternal cosmos]

You've got a sub, i'll watch it while i am playing S2 C:

[weary hedge]

Thanks bro

I made now two stalker videos mainly covering patches and glitches

I found a major mission glitch regarding the three traders mission

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah i am watching newest right now

[cobalt fiber]

I’ve considered doing a bit of creation on YT myself the last few months

It’s just time though that gets in the way

[weary hedge]

YouTube is rough

I been doing this for one year and I got like 1 k + subs

The scariest thing about stalker for me is the psi fields

[eternal cosmos]

I know your feeling, i did music on youtube when i was younger and i've got only 300 subs and 10k on one video. I deleted most of it from youtube cause i am now little older and i know that it wasn't me you know.

[eternal cosmos]

I did it for 6 years.

[main jewel]

things i dont have number 502 because mother nature failed me

[wise sedge]

because eng isnt my first language, when reading the announcement I thought of 🐾 instead of feat... 🫠

[weary hedge]

I want to know what’s the scariest area in stalker for you guys

[eternal cosmos]

x-16 and Radar

[main jewel]

cage, mindscrew

if speaking stalker 2

[cyan sparrow]

You're the lady helped me with a mod! Arigato!

[main jewel]

yes i am i am always here on my quest to get master role so i can send images

[coral harbor]

do you guys have any mods that reduce ai accuracy? i feel like ai is cracked, never miss a shot, especially in forest firefights where it takes me a moment to even spot them

[bitter plover]

most ppl dont care about gamma itself, but they dont like "gamma tourists" aka ppl, that came to this franchise only bcs of gamma and began to push their wants into normal stalker games, instead of aknowledging, that gamma is modpack and that Stalker game are just different

can gsc fix shotgun range for specifically npcs more specifically bandits

[cyan sparrow]

I did rage quit this server twice since 2023, hold on your quest hard!

[main jewel]

i mean a shotgun shouldnt be able to hit me 100m away with perfect accuracy

and instant death right

let alone its the boomstick

[bitter plover]

did the update broke something or what? bcs in testing of 1.7, this was completely fixed

[main jewel]

the same boomstick that npcs tend to shoot 3 times

[main jewel]

as of currently bandits mainly that ive seen they still shoot through 5 bushes with a shotgun 100m away with perfect accuracy killing me instantly on veteran

feels like im dealing with renegades in a new life

[bitter plover]

that seems highly weird. Like does this happen regularly/always or just occasionaly?

[main jewel]

every single shotgun bandit i come across

i usually prioritize killing them first tho so

[feral sigil]

1.8 when

[main jewel]

mid to late january probably

[bitter plover]

like, i honestly tested only master, not veteran, but that shouldnt be different from each other and i didnt have these issues at all. Bushes created cover (yes, sometimes the see you or hit you, but not always) and the distance sniping wasnt there at all too. Interesting

[eternal cosmos]

They said something about late december

[bitter plover]

entirely depends what will be in. If its smaller patch, it can be pretty soon, if its bigger, it can be even like march

[bitter plover]

"they"?. Who they?

[coral harbor]

I'm struggling to understand who's friend or foe when seeing people at a distance, how do you guys do it?

[bitter plover]

i personaly only saw content creators talking about it and it was from unconfirmed rumours/leaks, that werent even confiremd to be valid

[eternal cosmos]

Wrong words used, i should have said "Someone"

[shell flax]

Study and memorize faction uniforms in hubs

[eternal cosmos]

Armor

[feral sigil]

Shoot and wait

[main jewel]

well when they notice me they do it but they still have a hard time detecting me, but when they do its scary

[bitter plover]

its shame, that armors dont have the enough distinctive colours, that they were supposed to have, as they are in artbook. They were same basicaly, tbu the colours were more visible

[main jewel]

old freedom colors where

[dapper tangle]

hello would someone be able to help me? i wanted to get a stalker game beacause i really liked metro 2033 games but the only i can get rn i S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and im not sure if its worth playing if i never played any other stalker games before

[hardy totem]

Better to start with SoC

[eternal cosmos]

Clear sky is prequel to the shadow of chernobyl, play SoC first then CS then CoP

[main jewel]

clear sky is technically the first game in time order but soc should be first

[dreamy dagger]

I'm partying with the cows

[main jewel]

release order it like the rest of us

[eternal cosmos]

okay i'll check that

[cobalt fiber]

The universe has failed me once again

[dapper tangle]

okay okay xd

[eternal cosmos]

Don't listen to them and just experience it yourself 🙂

[dapper tangle]

yeah xd

[feral sigil]

Every NPC has personality,unlike 99% of video games out there

[main jewel]

they stripped me of my wings 💔

[cyan sparrow]

This one is peak, the only complain i got it's inventory mgm, in some moment pressing sort is catastrophic to get back to own order.

[main jewel]

true

[weary hedge]

which nvg is the green one?

[feral sigil]

Two gaming companies who ever did this are fromsoftware and gsc

[tall hawk]

each game also has a ton of soul put into it, something that seldom exists in modern games

[eternal cosmos]

Do you think it will conflict with OXA Prototype?

[dapper tangle]

fr?

that sounds nice ill probably get it xd

[tall hawk]

Eidos Montreal also deserves some credit for the Deus Ex games

[feral sigil]

Every other game the npcs are dumb like talking to a wall and soulless

[cyan sparrow]

I don't use OXA, however if not mistaken it's compatible, read the mod side.

[eternal cosmos]

Yes that one is true

[main jewel]

all of them except gen 3b

[feral sigil]

I LOVE deus ex games but no.

[tall hawk]

yeah they sit around campfire, telling each other jokes and stories and play the guitar

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah nothing about strictly oxa compatibility but i'll try it

[tall hawk]

come on, ya gotta love "I SPILL my DRINK!"

it's so peak...

[eternal cosmos]

guys how many hours do you think @frigid hill has in stalker 2?

[tall hawk]

0 because he's a filthy clanker

[feral sigil]

You see gsc thats how you sell your games

You ever need me just send me a pm

I am not cheap tho

[dapper tangle]

nvm im not gonna buy it

[feral sigil]

Bruh

[dapper tangle]

dont give him a job im never gonna buy any game

[feral sigil]

Lmfao wtf

[dapper tangle]

stay unemployed brother 🌹

[tall hawk]

GSC should add fishing in next update

[tall hawk]

billions must... live!

[dapper tangle]

billions must be unemployed

[tall hawk]

billions ARE unemployed 🌹 ❤️

[feral sigil]

They need my expertise tho

I ve been a gamer for over 40 years bro

Thats no joke

[tall hawk]

I legit invented video games bro

[dreamy dagger]

And who is gonna be the bait? ME?!

No, Krezzin, you'll be the fish

[eternal cosmos]

I wonder if i could go to the zone if i listen to ambient music from stalker after smoking sage

[orchid flower]

is there info out there when the multiplayer will drop?

[eternal cosmos]

nah

[orchid flower]

[cobalt fiber]

We don’t want it neither tbh

[orchid flower]

wut

wouldn’t it be awesome to play with ur friend?

[cobalt fiber]

It’s gonna be PvP only

So not really

[orchid flower]

no coop?

[cobalt fiber]

Nah man

[orchid flower]

u sure? that’s disappointing

[cobalt fiber]

The saving grace would be for gsc to change their mind and do a pvepvp

But I doubt it

And yeah coop basically is confirmed as a no no

[stoic flicker]

kinda surprised they are doing mp

[cobalt fiber]

Obviously we don’t know the specifics and not even sure GSC do atp but it’ll be just pvp as confirmed

[stoic flicker]

Is anyone really interested in that? heard it was deathmatch or so

[cobalt fiber]

Most people ain’t

[robust pendant]

Yeah no one cares really

[cobalt fiber]

A lot come here thinking it’ll be cool

Coop*

But yh it’s confirmed not to be

[robust pendant]

At worst, it will be like the trilogy
At best, it'll be a bit better than the trilogy

[cobalt fiber]

Again I do think pvevp could be good

But I can’t see it happening

[vernal lily]

[oblique igloo]

Hi guys

[simple arch]

Hi

[shell flax]

Co-op has been a hard denial since SoC dropped

[fierce nexus]

[still current]

As much as I love to have co-op, it simply doesn't fit the original vibe of the game. Modders will probably be able to do something in that regard after mp release and ofc the full modkit

[fierce nexus]

No coop needed

[feral sigil]

Hello welcome

[simple arch]

IMO, needed but I can live without it cuz stalker always lived as a single player so

[oblique igloo]

In my opinion, I don't see a co-op on Stalker as a good game, and it's a fine single-player game. At most, multiplayer, but no co-op. It's not made for co-op, you know how much server synchronization, etc.

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-popcat-pop-cat-gif-12775402814593485415

[simple arch]

Gnarp

[feral sigil]

Coop? What is this call of duty

[weary hedge]

Yes. Ukraine edition

[oblique igloo]

They need to fix this spawn thing first. A-life needs to be believable and also improve stealth. There are already some improvements because if you stand in a bush, they lose sight of you, so much so that I killed several with the knife, but they need to improve everything a bit

[simple arch]

COD never had singleplayer coop...
Except for WAW or that sh¡t of BO7 if I remember correctly

[hardy totem]

https://tenor.com/view/yarp-hot-fuzz-gif-12386003

[feral sigil]

In stalker games you are a loner forget about coop

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah I think a lot of it comes from people just thinking it would be cool to play with their buds but in practice it wouldn’t be a great experience and wouldn’t really fit

Even though I 50/50 advocate for PvEvP even that has its obvious flaws

But obviously PvP deathmatch style modes will also suck

Cos again it just doesn’t fit in

It’s a case of “just because we can” really

• profitable

Easy money for little effort

[simple arch]

U mean like a kind of freeplay where you gather stuff and kill people?

[eternal cosmos]

It breaks my flashlights so yeah i'll wait for updates to use it

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-honse-goober-gif-2183501590299112040

[cobalt fiber]

I always think more extraction type

That is one idea I think could potentially be neat

[cyan sparrow]

wdym breaks? you must find firstly headlamp and keep it in inventory

[cobalt fiber]

Don’t necessarily have to have the extraction lore be leaving or fleeing the zone either

[simple arch]

Yeah totally need it
