[untold timber]

I mean u can just drop the game for a while and come back later 🙂

[neon egret]

Guess it's time for my master playthrough even though I've only just begun my path to sircaa lol

[graceful dirge]

I've been using the same saves across all these updates with really no issues on series X

[stark crescent]

Even the special premium ultra deluxe weapons. Just reskinned base weapons.

[pearl atlas]

that's what I've been doing.

[neon egret]

That's good to know, maybe I'll continue this one in that case

[eternal cosmos]

don't worry i've just created my modpack and tommorow it will be outdated lol

[untold timber]

there ya go ^^

[pearl atlas]

I actually burned out of the game a while back, but by 1.7 I was interested again, but now I can't play because of the one specific bug.

[untold timber]

which one?

[pearl atlas]

bullets from friendly NPCs homing in on the player

I can handle crashes, freezes, softlocks, general jankiness, but if I can't stand near friendly NPCs during combat – this is too immersion-breaking.

[untold timber]

ye I noticed that too. I just avoid their firing lines.

[pearl atlas]

no, they hit you even if you stand behind them.

it's crazy

[untold timber]

that's did not happen to me o.O. U got mods installed?

[feral sigil]

Hello my friends

Hows everyone

[eternal cosmos]

I've got this too even before i installed the mods.

[charred nova]

stalker 2 should have been exclusive to pc

game would have been way better that way

[shell flax]

I don’t care

[charred nova]

all these box using freaks can't keep it together man

[pearl atlas]

game probably wouldn't get the funding that way

[charred nova]

IDC BITCH

[pearl atlas]

o_O

[charred nova]

I GOTTA GATE KEEP

[proven hollow]

oi, jack, behave

[charred nova]

just you wait for what im gonna post next oh man it will blow your socks off

[pearl atlas]

consolitis is certainly an issue in S2, but that ship has sailed. no going back now.

[still current]

If you already looted it before getting the coordinates then it's normal to find it empty

[proven hollow]

well that's a barely disguised feet fetish if i ever saw one

[charred nova]

ITS NEVER TOO LATE CANCEL CONSOLE DEVELOPMENT

[pearl atlas]

do you know anything the bug with homing bullets?

[sand pond]

Are all the Convoys on the Ward corpses are pre-placed, or is there a chance to just find one on a corpse?

Because I already have like 5 of them.

[still current]

No

[still current]

Any point from before heading to the end phase of the game will do

[sand pond]

Yes, that's probably the case

[pearl atlas]

it will if the current save is modded, and the update breaks the mods, which usually happens.

[sand pond]

Especially hits on a second playtrhough when you just know there's a stash here and there

[proven hollow]

how many bugs did you guys report that haven't been fixed yet?

[pearl atlas]

in my experience getting the stash mark means the stash is refilled again

[vernal lily]

[proven hollow]

kot

[still current]

If it's molded then it's another issue. It would require mods to update maybe but that's about it. I'm not even sure if it would break it since it's mainly new content, not a rebalamce.

[still current]

Not quite following

[pearl atlas]

when you stand next to friendly NPCs and they shoot at the enemy, all their bullets hit you instead, even if you stand behind them (so it's a 180 curve like in the movie 5th element).

[shell flax]

I’ve never seen that in my life and I’m over 2k hours in

[pearl atlas]

new bug in 1.7

[shell flax]

Are you absolutely sure it’s not a mod thing?

[pearl atlas]

no, but some guy here said he also had it even before installing mods.

[still current]

It never happened for me, so I'm not sure if it's a global bug or a rare one. I get shot often by neutrals but never had a case like yours

[shell flax]

I need more then ‘some guy’ my brother

[proven hollow]

i'm sincerely doubting that tbh, you have a vid or something? might be something else hitting you

[pearl atlas]

nothing else. even if it's 1 dude vs a boar, if I'm next to the dude, I'm cooked.

[proven hollow]

i'd make a video and a support ticket

[pearl atlas]

that would take too long in an unmodded game

[neon egret]

anything I should do before going to the ranger station during "Extreme Simplicity"?

[proven hollow]

wdym? finding a fight should be easy

[shell flax]

‘Too long’
You just said it happens with any friendly NPC, who are incredibly common

And fights in 1.7 are a dime a dozen

[pearl atlas]

yes, but you need to get to that point.

from starting a new game.

[shell flax]

That’s like twenty-thirty minutes at most

Bum rush the tutorial, zip to the first town and wait for someone to attack a guard

[zenith phoenix]

If it's a special stash from a quest reward or something it will refill, but I've had regular stashes not refill after finding coordinates to it (after looting it before).

[pearl atlas]

ah, I see

[shell flax]

You’re complaining about a bug that, for all intents and purposes, is utterly game shattering. I’m having a hard time believing this is a vanilla issue because I guarantee it would’ve been everywhere by now

[pearl atlas]

yes, it's game shattering, and I'm feeling like I'm crazy because nobody's talking about.

[feral sigil]

The game was never meant to be played on a controller tbh , it just doesnt work

[charred nova]

to this day people complain about controller issues when playing on console

[neon egret]

Where do you encounter this bug?

[charred nova]

over a year later it feels like its still not working right at least from what people say not like i'd know

[neon egret]

I'm on an unmodded playhrough, started 2 days ago. Haven't encountered homing bullets so far. Plenty of enemies and friendlies use shotguns though and they can hit you in crossfire.

[feral sigil]

Yes thats why they added m/k support

[pearl atlas]

there's no specific place. if a friendly NPC shoots at anything and I'm next to that NPC, I automatically get hit.

[graceful dirge]

Works pretty nicely with adjustable deadzones & especially setting custom aim curve values now. I still think max turn speed needs to be increased but generally I find it pretty nice to play without aim assist as compared to the major issues at launch

[pearl atlas]

I could literally stand behind a guy shooting at a boar, and I'd be the one getting hit.

[zenith phoenix]

That's not about the game being bad for controller, it's that GSC are seemingly unable to fix problems with it (deadzone and sensitivity issues). It has nothing to do with the game design itself.

[neon egret]

I haven't encountered this myself so far.

[pliant hollow]

What's all this stuff online about a DLC called Untold stories coming out. I've seen news articles but nothing from GSC?

[charred nova]

well if your a chad you play with gyro

my 100s of hours in splatoon taught me the wonders of gyro controls

[feral sigil]

Enemies move to fast and too unpredictable unlike most fps out there

[zenith phoenix]

Yeah I've had enemies shoot me if I stand in front of the line of fire like an idiot, but that's about it. Definitely send in a bug report if you haven't.

[graceful dirge]

Weeps in Xbox being generations behind in their controller's features

[feral sigil]

Stalker 2 is 39 on xbox btw if anyone is intersted

[zenith phoenix]

I've used a controller on PC and didn't have a problem 🤷‍♂️ even for bloodsuckers and stuff.

[charred nova]

the difference between console shooters being viable and total cancer is if there is or is not gyro

[feral sigil]

Try master on a controller bro

[charred nova]

people who hate gyro must have been smashed into the wall pretty hard by their dad when they were a kid

i can't think of any other reason you would not like it

[graceful dirge]

Tweakable deadzones & options for deadzones are a must imo, everyone has different preferences (same goes for keybinds which we still cannot change on controller)

[pearl atlas]

I wish they'd make bloodsuckers dangerous again

[zenith phoenix]

very specific

[pearl atlas]

you are very not chill, dude.

[charred nova]

well yah cus you'd have to be brain damaged to hate having a playable gaming experience

[charred nova]

i ran out my medication

[pearl atlas]

really?

[visual mortar]

my what big teeth you have

[zenith phoenix]

[charred nova]

no

we don't know when its coming tomorrow maybe

sony leaked it early

[zenith phoenix]

classic sony

[river chasm]

According to the trailer it is Dec 16

[charred nova]

oh well

there yah go

[dreamy bronze]

Will probably break all the mods again 😂

[charred nova]

well duh

though not all i think shay has been cooking up a day one patch for some of his mods during the closed beta test

[dreamy bronze]

That's clever of him

[pearl atlas]

I hope we'll get to keep Distant Horizons

[visual mortar]

I'd say all

[visual mortar]

heavily debatable

[charred nova]

shhhhhhh don't tell them

what they don't know can't hurt them

[visual mortar]

jack is a danger to himself and those around him

[dreamy bronze]

Just deny it. Always works for me 🙂

[pearl atlas]

it's naive to think so.

that's not to say you should be debating everyone you meet.

[visual mortar]

thats crazy to say dude... are you genuinely sick

[charred nova]

i have to suppress my primal urge to say the forbidden words

[shell flax]

How to trigger Jack:

step 1: force him to drive an automatic

[pearl atlas]

it's really not that funny after you meet someone who actually is.

[charred nova]

this is true

i will default to gamer words right away

[shell flax]

Step 2: convert a manual to automatic while he’s forced to watch

[vernal lily]

I saw that

[zenith phoenix]

most sane manual driver:

[visual mortar]

yeah nice strawman, teethboy

[visual mortar]

[charred nova]

you would not survive that id kill you with my mega wrench

[visual mortar]

that you nicknamed jawbreaker

[pearl atlas]

what does that even mean?

[charred nova]

i would yes

[sand pond]

I mean, there are some mods that have been working still since 1.0 with no real update needed

[charred nova]

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/juan-gif-21122849

[charred nova]

they should remove the mean word filter on the steam forums

[pearl atlas]

and I'm not talking about the STALKER forums, either. that's more business as usual.

[charred nova]

i would make it even funnier to read

[visual mortar]

im trying my hardest okay

[charred nova]

guy acts like we can go full mask off

[visual mortar]

also yeah steam forums are stupid

all forums are

[charred nova]

and just start harassing him

wrong

some of the most useful car info is located on boomer forums

[visual mortar]

you got the guy who is extremely passive aggressive, the guy who asks "why" to the original question, the guy who complains about the thread being "necro'd" two months after the last post, and the actually helpful guy you find through google

[pearl atlas]

have you been to the Elden Ring Steam forum?

[charred nova]

truth

[iron wind]

Hey man, the new free content is the one you spoke about "cooking" before TGA?

[sand pond]

I kinda wish SVD had x8 default scope rather than x4
On a sniper rifle, x4 feels really underwhelming even with 75m drawing distance.
I'd love to see whites of their eyes from far away through the scope

In all of the Stalker games, SVD is a weapon of victory

[visual mortar]

what did he mean by this

[charred nova]

yup

[pearl atlas]

the online simulation range is 100-120 meters, not 75.

[charred nova]

gsc should make it 500

THEN GIVE ME A 1895 BROWNING

[visual mortar]

they should make it 5 with really thick fog

[charred nova]

because stalker 2 needs that gun

[iron wind]

cool man, happy days

[visual mortar]

i want an elephant rifle

[pearl atlas]

there aren't that many places in the game with straight shots that long

[charred nova]

but there is more than 0

[vapid galleon]

rise and shine Strider, rise and shine

[sand pond]

Drawing distance, not simulation range.

They are active from further, but only at 75m they become visible

[pearl atlas]

not true

[pearl verge]

Will tomorrows update break mods?

[sand pond]

Did they increase drawing distance in one of the patches?

[pearl atlas]

safe to assume about every update

[charred nova]

render distance for creatures

has always been 100m

[pearl atlas]

you're thinking about it wrong. in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, it's not about the visuals, it's about interactability.

you can't have NPCs be interactive, but not visible.

[pearl atlas]

150 in the old games, ~100 at release in S2, then increased with buffer to ~120 in one of the patches.

[iron wind]

looks like a big update tbf

big update = mods broke

[pearl atlas]

the buffer means NPCs switch to online mode at 100, but don't switch to offline mode until ~120.

[iron wind]

I am still waiting on them to add Steam Point Shop items

[sand pond]

Hmm
Alright, guess my memory didn't serve me well

[pearl atlas]

actually it may not have been 100, probably closer to 85, but increased to 100-120 in one of the patches.

I don't remember exactly. not that it mattered at release, because there was no offline mode back then. stuff just de-spawned permanently.

[stoic flicker]

surprised that 7.62 isnt a round in Stalker 2, save for that one gun

[brazen pulsar]

Why no pc sale😞🥀

[pearl atlas]

don't all Soviet sniper rifles use 7.62?

[pseudo coral]

Gonna start a newgame tomorrow when that update drops.

[stoic flicker]

well I meant specifically 7.62x39

There is the 7.62x54

[pseudo coral]

Will set the language on Ukranian because alot of voices in english are bad

[pearl atlas]

I believe Dnipro can be converted to that caliber.

[stoic flicker]

Oh that would be nice

Ive never seen 7.62x39 in drops or vendor tho, so I guess you just run out eventually?

[pearl atlas]

exactly. which is why guns that use common ammo are superior.

[pseudo coral]

PC is the master version the premium version for premium gamers, for the rich boys for the wealthy, the 1%'ers.

[feral gust]

sooo 1.8 is almost there ^^

[stoic flicker]

Would have thought 7.62 would be superior, is it not cheaper and plentiful? more kill power too, its not like your trying to wound anyone

[brazen pulsar]

I’m not that rich😞

[pearl atlas]

it makes Dnipro marginally more powerful, but since NPCs with LMGs basically don't spawn anywhere, you don't have a steady supply of ammo.

[charred nova]

7.62x39 is completely useless in a vanilla play through

it should not even be obtainable but apparently it still is because gsc forgot to remove all the sources of it

the one conversion it had was changed to 7.62x54

[pearl atlas]

7.62x39 is used by the RP-74

[charred nova]

which isn't in the game

with out mods

[stoic flicker]

Glutton is an RPM-74 that uses 7.62x39 in vanilla though, isnt it?

[charred nova]

shouldn't anymore

[stoic flicker]

I'm using OXA Standard so I think its been changed to 54r

[charred nova]

yah

thats why

[pearl atlas]

jesus I have outdated info

[stoic flicker]

oh okay, saw in a video it was using x39, good that they changed it

[charred nova]

when they added the 1911 and mosin

they also removed 7.62x39 from vanilla

[stoic flicker]

Guess I just like AKs that use 7.62x39 ngl haha

[pearl atlas]

did they add 7.62x54 to the vendors, then?

[charred nova]

well soft removed it

cus again you can still get it

but its useless

[stoic flicker]

Feel like the base AK has a LOT of kick

[charred nova]

well stalker has zero aks that do

plenty to pick from but

sadly no

like this one

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RK_95_TP

[stoic flicker]

I do love me some AK-12 I'll tell you that son

[charred nova]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEK-971

or this one

[stoic flicker]

In tarkov I always used to use 7.62 AKM with angled foregrip, OKP-7, the polymer mags etc

[pearl atlas]

okay, hold on a sec. is RP-74 using 7.62x54 now?

[charred nova]

far as im aware yes

[stoic flicker]

Wold be nice if the AK did have more sights than "just" the x4 scope, even tho it looks fantastic

[charred nova]

except for the special one you get past the point of no return

that uses 5.45

[pearl atlas]

I guess that's slightly better

can 7.62x54 be purchased from vendors, then? I remember that it also used to be very rare.

[charred nova]

think so

[iron wind]

holy stealth is still so busted

[charred nova]

are you really surprised

[iron wind]

I am trying to sneak on Sphere and literally getting spotted thru crack

[charred nova]

[pearl atlas]

oh thank god…

but I bet it's still expensive as heck.

so, Ratkiller is still the ultimate gun.

[iron wind]

I mean like the crack is 10cm, and I am getting FULL spotted in seconds

[charred nova]

this is not deus ex bro sorry

https://tenor.com/view/rage-bait-or-fact-call-it-jjba-gif-4356782155168095918

[pearl atlas]

with mods stealth works really well now

[stoic flicker]

the trick I found was if you cant see their face, they cant see you

Except for the sphere part lol

[iron wind]

I mean can we not have eagle eye enemies on easy \ normal?

[pearl atlas]

I'm more mad about the fact that you're forced to fight even if you nail the stealth

[charred nova]

you act like im a dev bro

im just an intern

[gentle citrus]

But you are?

[charred nova]

you ever heard of devma

[pearl atlas]

I have a bad feeling about this

[gentle citrus]

You also love the UE5 engine and know it in and out

[iron wind]

in 1.0 they could insta spot thru walls, so at least that is fixed, also nice of GSC to make new models for Sphere people, they look very distinct

[pearl atlas]

do you have a screenshot?

[iron wind]

I mean I can make one

[weary hedge]

Buying ultimate gives me all future dlcs?

[steep bloom]

I CAST, GRENADES thunders in the distance

[pearl atlas]

that's the idea

[main jewel]

why is ign telling me theres a stalker update tmw with 7 new locations, some side quests, a new weapon and stuff is this true or is ign trolling

[iron wind]

2 story dlc I think

[weary hedge]

[vocal wave]

Lol

[main jewel]

or am i dumb and a confused xbox brokie

[vocal wave]

They break mods with every update. I permanently gave up on them. The only mod I use is the console

[main jewel]

craftable zone might blow up my whole save so i dunno

[pearl atlas]

not everything breaks, but some of the more exciting mods usually do.

[gleaming salmon]

Is the update gonna be ps5 only?

[pearl atlas]

no, that would be insane.

[main jewel]

i would (thing i shouldnt say here) if they did

[charred nova]

if it was the world would implode

[gleaming salmon]

Phew

[charred nova]

Hollow earth would be real

And Mecha Hitler is living in agartha

[stoic flicker]

I find it almost odd that, even tho Stalker 2 is very moddable, I feel like its the game I need the least mods to enjoy, well I dont need any

its pretty perfect on its own. The only parts I dislike (on Master) is not being able to manually save, and fights like Faust/Scar (maybe strelok, I didnt fight him) are ass cause you die fast. Though I heard with Faust if you stack Psi resistance its a lot easier / use an RPG.

Oh, and the Monolith spawning behind and around you on the last mission "Down Below"

Do you think guys if i'll do shortened gameplay of trilogy but enchanced will someone watch it? I wanted to make one video for one game and i wanted to 100% it.

Cause i think enchanced edition have some issues on pc as i saw that other people talked about it

the only issue worth talking about is the lack of full Ukrainian dub.

but i don't know the specific issues cause i didn't play it yet, i launched SoC once for 1 hour

In those times, it is a big issue for me

[pearl atlas]

basically it's the same as the old release, partial localization.

[wraith latch]

Guys I just finished stalker 2 main ending and my mind went BOOOOOOM

[feral sigil]

I will

[charred nova]

Bros a content creator and only just finished the game

[wraith latch]

I finished another ending

[charred nova]

Oh

[wraith latch]

Before 😘

[eternal cosmos]

How was it?

[eternal cosmos]

Then tommorow i'll start recording

[wraith latch]

Also I skipped the game for a half year I think for other reasons. So almost took a year to fully play out since I was stacked in time

[wraith latch]

It’s my first stalker and I looooooved both ending but the main one oh my god

[unborn venture]

https://youtu.be/1BKHq7v7bWI?si=ZrtZAh88tybPiWZd

This dude is a legend of the zone

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah it hits your head like SVD

[pearl atlas]

I don't think people will watch just for the game. you'll have to make it interesting.

[hearty tendon]

In the Zone, straight 'jorkin it' and by it, haha, well, let's just say, my artifacts

[pearl atlas]

oooh, I love that one.

[wraith latch]

Yeah 🫣 Just started Shadow of Chornobyl today and can’t wait to go deeper in the lore

[eternal cosmos]

Don't worry, for it i have some plan. Just wanted to see if people Hate it so much or there is just slight issues. I don't know that cause i was more interested in stalker 2 than Enchanced edtition tbh

[eternal cosmos]

Broooo you MUST do every ending...

[fleet plank]

Yo dudes the monoliths pretty chill maybe you could like join it or something

[feral sigil]

@eternal cosmos whats the channel ill sub

[eternal cosmos]

And after you finish all games you must watch Anomalous Dugout on youtube, he has some fu... good videos about the lore...

[wraith latch]

I definitely will! I just feel like I have a lot of blind spots and confusion in the story. And want to understand like everything,cause I hecking love the whole Stalker universe

[eternal cosmos]

I'll send u the link in the moment, and it will be first video on this channel (before i was making music on this channel but i deleted it cause i didn't saw ME in it...)

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah there is many plot holes but he is explaining them or just making very good teories about it!

[eternal cosmos]

https://www.youtube.com/@MANTISex i forgot there is ONE short on this channel from my stream when i played dark souls for the first time and my audio is broken on it :C ( i didn't finished it yet)

[charred nova]

We need to bring lead back

[feral sigil]

Thats my favorite game all time btw

[charred nova]

Honestly put lead back in our petrol put the lead back in the paint

LEAD IS COMING BACK

[wraith latch]

Huh xd

[pearl atlas]

hold up, are you trying to start a YouTube channel?

[eternal cosmos]

DS I? Really? I really like the lore of this world, and i will learn more about it but for now i am procrastinating to stream (also i don't have a good room for streaming as i am taking care of my older sister with a schizophrenia... for at least next months)

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah something like that, i know many people who would watch or just leave something to bump up the video

[pearl atlas]

temper your expectations

[feral sigil]

Aye hope the best for your sister bro

[eternal cosmos]

Don't worry i don't think there will be more than a 10 or 15 likes on it 😆

[eternal cosmos]

Thank you, it is hard for me and especially for her, i don't really understand why it happened but i love her and want to help.

[pearl atlas]

you probably shouldn't share these kinds of details about your life

[eternal cosmos]

It is not a secret, and i didn't really said that much tbh

[light crag]

Is there a way to get another ending in the DLC update, where the story is told in a different timeline?

[eternal cosmos]

I don't think we'll get something like that in this update.

[feral sigil]

https://blog.playstation.com/2025/12/15/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-drops-a-free-story-and-content-update-on-dec-16/

Do we know exact time ?

[pearl atlas]

you never know what's gonna bite you in the back. and if you're going to be a youtuber, your back will have a big fat target painted on it.

[light crag]

But it would be extremely interesting to get a different perspective.

Oh Orthodox Defender

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah it could be bad if you look from that perspective. But i don't think anything will affect me, trust me ;). But still thank you for pointing it out i'll watch out for it!

[eternal cosmos]

There are SPECULATIONS (not official) that future DLC's will get us something like u said.

[light crag]

Oh nice

[light crag]

But I'm still curious how much DLC and updates will come; I'm only thinking two.

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah but for now it is known that future dlc's/updates will unlock some regions like CNPP/Iron forest

[gleaming plume]

Where is multiplayer ? Time to give some news.

[eternal cosmos]

Let them fix the game bro...

[gleaming plume]

They had all the time for that, if they took the time to release it on PS5, where is multiplayer ?

[eternal cosmos]

are you for real?

[feral gust]

to be honest, stalker is singleplayer game first and multiplayer is not on top of their list

maybe in a year

[pearl atlas]

I'd wager – after both expansions.

[oak sluice]

Is there actually an update coming out that brings 8 new quests or did I get enormously baited?

[fervent zephyr]

These are the type of movies you watch with a bunch of friends that love to make jokes about all the things that are over the top ridiculous and that's the fun part about them.

[eternal cosmos]

That's the first thing, other thing is that maybe you know but they have some thing called a war?

[pearl atlas]

it's real.

[light crag]

Can we go to the reactor

[oak sluice]

Turn stalker 2 into fallout 76 while we're at it

[eternal cosmos]

Nah Playstation leaked the patch!

[fervent zephyr]

Hahah I think you got the wrong reply to person 😄

[gleaming plume]

You cannot be serious

[eternal cosmos]

I can't really tell as i am only a fan, not the dev or even a moderator

[oak sluice]

No shit?? Its not real no?

[feral sigil]

Yes tommorow 8 missions with over 20 hours

[eternal cosmos]

yeah yeah

[pearl atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KCLiw3e-b8

[oak sluice]

I can genuinely not tell if yall are telling the truth or if its just half life 3 type of copium

[feral gust]

@eternal cosmos i am quite aware of war situation, there are immigrants from both countries where I live, just saying, multiplayer is prob still far away 😄

[eternal cosmos]

we don't know if it's tommorow, playstation made a mistake and it could be on the end of the month

[pearl atlas]

I linked the trailer.

[last saddle]

are people in town supposed to get pissed for having your weapon drawn? cause ive never seen them do that

[oak sluice]

I see, why was it only announced by PlayStation tho?

[oak sluice]

U can hear them talking smack sometimes but thats it ig

[eternal cosmos]

mostly i was talking to the other guy who doesn't have a patience for a multiplayer, i got wrong reply 2 times in a row lol

[pearl atlas]

because Sony messed up and released the announcement earlier than planned.

[feral gust]

@eternal cosmos haha, it happens, all good ^^

[gentle citrus]

Uh is that true that we going to get 1.8 this month?

[feral sigil]

https://youtu.be/UgB339Y915k?si=dYGD0xrlQgPd64E3

[gleaming plume]

Patience of what ? They announced since the released and we didn't have just a bit of news about it.
The hell you talking about ? Stop finding them excuse lmao

[oak sluice]

Wow okay... i think its only fair that we give out stalker 2 ultimate edition for free now no?

[pearl atlas]

they stop doing that after you improve your reputation with them. same as in the old games.

[last saddle]

just started a new game. they dont care at all

[eternal cosmos]

I have bad day today cause i saw this announcement after it was public LOL

[eternal cosmos]

LOL then go and make a official complain in the letter to the GSC, or go to the ukraine and make games with them. Brother we all know in what state game was and is for today, but look on the cyberpunk it was horrible on the release but after a few patches it was fairly one of the best games ever made.

Patience and little of expectations will bring peace to your mind.

[gleaming plume]

Yeah no, this kid can't be serious.
That's fine you win, you win.

Sadly we're not on Steam, you'll get clown rewards for that.

[eternal cosmos]

I don't care bro

[iron wind]

the GOAT

[feral gust]

to be honest , we can complain all we want, it changes nothing, you can wait for ml update or play something else, that's about it

[pearl atlas]

as a Ukrainian, I appreciate the support, but let's not pin everything on the war. GSC has a long-standing issue with communication.

[gleaming plume]

I do, but still.

[shell flax]

Also Stalker MP has always been tacked on lmao, it’s never been a huge priority

[gleaming plume]

T H I S

[eternal cosmos]

It is also wrong as we should put pressure on them cause they MUST fix the game and deliver what they said they'll deliver.

[feral sigil]

Aye guys see you later i ll be on stalker duty

[eternal cosmos]

It is still kind of big obstacle, no?

[gleaming plume]

Bro got answer from Ukrainian guy but still try to have the final word.
Jesus Christ, this is insane.

[feral gust]

I had my share of frustration about the game, awful release, half baked stuff with a lot of fake marketing and they fact that they can't handle communication sometimes but, can't change much about it, I just play something else and return from time to time to test new patches. Game is like 3 times better now than what it was on release, for me at least ^^

[gleaming plume]

Move on, move on.

[pearl atlas]

chill

[eternal cosmos]

I mean the situation in your country, yes i know that they have other issues in GSC but we shouldn't be so agressive about what we want from them, just put a pressure, say that yeah we want multi, we want fixes and other things, but we should stay chill with it

[eternal cosmos]

Lol i just want to be more informed about the situation, that's how discussion works...

"KID"

[stark crescent]

no one actually wants a multiplayer

co op, sure. but multiplayer? you really want a freaking free for all or TDM? 2 lifeless modes like in the previous stalkers? just riddled with hackers?

[eternal cosmos]

.

[crude hawk]

Since a update coming out tomorrow what would it come out since I live in UK 🤔🤔

[feral gust]

@crude hawk no update for u, sry

[stark crescent]

they have yet to announce it

[pearl atlas]

we don't know which exact issues they're having. in any case, it would do the some good to be more transparent with us. even if the news is bad and they can't deliver what was promised, it's better to just admit it. all the vagueness only makes it worse.

[eternal cosmos]

I want coop but i am patient and i will wait for it even if it'll be done only by modders

[stark crescent]

by the time a modder makes a co op, ur well and done with the game, amigo

[eternal cosmos]

You are absolutelly right! That's why we should put presure on them with being non-agressive in it :D. We ALL could do better remember.

[shell flax]

GSC has been completely hardline on No COOP since SoC dropped, I know people want coop to game with buddies but if after nearly 20 years they haven’t budged, it ain’t happening ever

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah i saw only XLR multiplayer extension (or something like that) but it is still in a rough shape. Still it can be done.

[pearl atlas]

the problem is that some of the premium edition bonuses mention the multiplayer, which means they're selling the game on the premise that multiplayer will be added at some point.

[graceful dirge]

XRMPE, getting a ton of work done lately including steam integration! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yc6WwHmpzH4

[feral gust]

well, they sold the game on the premise that there is an a life and then removed it

[shell flax]

At some point likely means after all DLC I won’t lie, so probably in 2-3 years

Personally I’d rather they completely scrap MP and make a 3rd DLC

[eternal cosmos]

Oh yes yes! I forgot the name, i know cause i tested it like a 1.5 week ago! Amazing work, but my friend didn't like stalker and we played only for an hour :/

[stark crescent]

promises are meant to be broken, everyone knows that.

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah but they could say it now, not in 3 years after the release 😄

[pearl atlas]

that's not what happened. A-Life in S2 follows a different principle than the old games. it's instance-based, centered around the player instead of global simulation. the technical director talked about it in one the pre-release interviews

[stark crescent]

battlefield 5 added a clash royale. instead of spending time to improve the game, they spend time and effort into creating an entire seperate map. and a gamemode. that ultimately, no one bothered to play

[shell flax]

‘Nobody’

Uh huh

[eternal cosmos]

yeah but people still think that it will be A-life like in CS/COP or whole game will be like Anomaly lol

[feral gust]

maybe but it was scripted garbage at best on release, not saying it was unplayable just bad, nowdays is better, not perfect but better for sure

[pearl atlas]

for all we know it might end up like that one day, if they pivot away from the current direction.

[stark crescent]

some things just arnt meant to be. the epstein files that will never be fully uncovered. elon musk creating cat girls. stalker 2 multiplayer.

[eternal cosmos]

I wish they'll not, i rather modders to do that.

[sand pond]

How to get weird bolt on master difficulty, since you need to take it from inside the whirlwind, and it basically one shots you?

[eternal cosmos]

Try everything, i still didn't get it for now

[iron wind]

imagine my luck shooting a box and APPARENTLY killing an invis varta npc spawn, the colonel is super angry on the radio now 💀

[weary hedge]

Is this an official Stalker discord?)

[shell flax]

Yes

[weary hedge]

Thanks:)

[vernal lily]

maybe

[iron wind]

I wonder when is the 3-man bubble spawn is going away

I ran into it two times back-to-back today on Garbage

[eternal cosmos]

i installed some mods from shay and it apparentally fixes it (i didn't ran into this issue)

[iron wind]

on vanilla it can be pretty horrid, the bandit npcs will aimbot you with perfect precision 50m+

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah i know, especially on master when i have fully upgraded tourist suit and bandits in cordon are just oneshotting me from sawn off lmao

[umbral lodge]

So im starting my master run

I at least now know 2 spots to find my armor I like

[eternal cosmos]

So i have a bug when i help swedish to deal with those scumbags from sidor, he don't wanna talk to me and just tells me to "get lost" xd

[umbral lodge]

Rip lol

[eternal cosmos]

Yeah i have to get back 30 minutes if i want to fix that xd

Oh f... nvm i forgot i saved before talking to him. Save was made 30 minutes ago cause i was making something else lol

[umbral lodge]

I have no clue what master has in store for me other than no manual saves

And looks like none of my hud except health stamina and rads

[sand pond]

My fav armor stash would probably be Spark SEVA on Duga.
Not the easiest to get, but... it's a good armor.

Yes, there's also Falcon on Malachite.
But Spark SEVA is a bit more balanced around defenses, plus cheaper to repair.
Which is very important on master, with it's more punishing economy.

[eternal cosmos]

I love SEVA armors... imo they are the best looking armor in the game i think

[umbral lodge]

Since the new update includes the poi as part of the story I'll have to get it from the other spot

I primarily run around in my bulat

[eternal cosmos]

If you want more original trilogy master mode, there are mods for unlocking saving.

And compass etc.

[umbral lodge]

I found a spot that requires me to head for yantar instead of burnt forest and my run had gotten a little stale. Im on ps and we dont have mods yet so its gonna be the full ride

[eternal cosmos]

Gn everyone. Have fun!

[umbral lodge]

Gn

[golden gulch]

Same, too bad they were done dirty in 2 because SSP 100 armors exist.

[golden gulch]

But Falcon also provide you an extra 25% wear and tear reduction upgrade, make it 50% compare to the 25% of SEVA I, plus it look better too lol

[sacred cedar]

Making the Bulats with Helmets was a mistake, especially now that only the Falcon has any psi resistance now matter how little it is. By the time you reach Cement Factory which is anywhere from like 45 minutes and up all helmets become useless which is unfortunate

[umbral lodge]

I made it through the intro to Richter

That should be the games save point right?

[fickle hill]

Both Freedom and Duty PSZs have no psi protection because their armor is built to be at each others throats

[sacred cedar]

The plating would provide rudimentary protection by default, i understand why they nerfed the bulats for game reasons but it still is just sad and really a missed opportunity giving Armor+Helmet a chance of being utilized post lesser zone

[fickle hill]

Indeed

[sacred cedar]

Even the very basic ballistic helmet has a decent amount of psi protection, lore wise there would be no reason why the armored zone tinkered suits wouldnt

[fickle hill]

Only the exos have psi protection which is even sadder

[sacred cedar]

Exos are generally just to strong really

its basically a no brainer to use them especially since all but one or two have sprint upgrades

[fickle hill]

2.5

Cuirass, bulkwark, and that half is brummbar but you need the blueprint for the sprint

[cobalt fiber]

Decided to give it a go finally now my backlog is clear

First impressions are solid

[fickle hill]

My fingers smell like industrial pinesol wanna smell them?

No pranks from a janitor now don't worry

[feral sigil]

Anyone know 1.8 exact release time ?

[twin mantle]

No

[feral sigil]

Damn i guess i will leave my ps5 in rest mode for the whole day

[fickle hill]

We got A update here like tomorrow

[feral sigil]

I have 50 gb free space tho

[sacred cedar]

Update is confirmed to be 89 gigs

[feral sigil]

Lets hope its not bigger than 50

[fickle hill]

Bro is cooked

[sacred cedar]

Better make some space

[feral sigil]

Damn

[fickle hill]

Get the storage boxes for PS

Hardware storages

[topaz sluice]

If theye havent fixed it, quit to main menu to create a save. Exit save doesnt get deleted when you load back in.

[golden gulch]

That's exactly the problem I have with the full body armors that aren't scientist armor.
If you block the helmet slot, at least provide us Psi protection.

[feral sigil]

Nah i ll.just delete something and save my money bro lmfao

[sacred cedar]

Mods fill fix this eventually i know some are doing it now but they need more time to be really worthwile

[fickle hill]

You're gonna need it at some point

[golden gulch]

The mod I known and used is bugged, basically down the psi protection of most helmet to zero lol

[coral shadow]

when battle pass and battle royale man?

[fickle hill]

When we can download more RAM

[sacred cedar]

I wouldnt bother getting invested in mods right now while the game is still actively being patched every few months

[coral shadow]

true

every update is a mess for mods

[last saddle]

there a new bug with rag dolls causing lag?

[fickle hill]

A fate worse than watching my loot go to space

[golden gulch]

I would rather see GSC do the balance themselves, because using mods disable achievements plus what you said.

[sacred cedar]

I don't think this is a high priority for them right now

[sand pond]

Getting to Pripyat early doesn't break anything, does it?

[untold timber]

Isnt there a sniper that kills u when trying to enter prip?

[sand pond]

No...

I mean, I've had a guy on a tower along the Yaniw great wall, but...
He was killed by a pack of loners approaching from the Jupiter side...

[charred nova]

No it’s highly recommended

Just don’t post how you got in

Otherwise gsc will patch it

[sacred cedar]

You just open console and teleport there easy peasy

[charred nova]

That’s boring

[sacred cedar]

Its about as interesting as jumping some overlooked gaps

[charred nova]

Eh rather do that

[violet dune]

yo we getting Expansion tomorrow, shadow drop, LIMANSK

[feral sigil]

i am really hyped

[hearty tendon]

That would be one hell of a power move

[tender ginkgo]

Will I have to start a new save with the update dropping tomorrow

[violet dune]

my expectations at 0, so i wont get disappointed

from what i know, some kind of new activity in burning forest

[charred nova]

That’s the dlc don’t get too excited

[feral sigil]

New weapon too !

[charred nova]

New weapon*

[tender ginkgo]

Also how do I get faction roles

[charred nova]

A unique variant of a weapon

[violet dune]

expect nothing

if no snow in the zone, i dont care

[sand pond]

How about dragging a few boxes all across the map to get some height?

[charred nova]

Gotta find holes in the invisible wall

[vernal lily]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/565879298603614209

[violet dune]

First quest tomorrow from random NPC. Go kill 20 bloodsuckers in lesser zone

[weary hedge]

Why my nickname is purple?)

[sand pond]

There are most certainly some random corpses with random armor.

I went to a mission - dead freedomer with armor and helmet.
I died during the mission, save was a few hundred meters away from the mission, and now there's no corpse with armor, just random dead freedomers.

[main jewel]

true.. i have 2 different methods now cause some loud mouth decided to leak the other one

[charred nova]

I love when game companies try and tell me how to play their single player game

[main jewel]

nope, theres no open areas that mess with quests.. hell not even deggy spawns in

[main jewel]

totally..
then i have to work ages to find new spots

now one of my methods is more time consuming and the other is well a little hard to do so they are both more time consuming than the other one

but the time consuming part is what drives players away.. thinking its patched..

[feral sigil]

Nah quests will be gucci

[ebon blade]

I just went there last night and got a Hyoercube in the Magnetic Cave,
a Compass in Deaf Meadow and a Bubble in the Old Mill Underground.

[feral sigil]

You doing any streams bro ?

[ebon blade]

No, but I am recording my entire game and uploading it to YT.

[feral sigil]

I just subbed cool stuff bro

[umbral lodge]

So I accidently killed gloomy

Theirs no consequence for that right?

I cant reload since I'm on master otherwise I would

[primal nimbus]

Who

[umbral lodge]

Gloomy the guy your sent to rescue in the beginning of the game before you reach the hub

[ancient fractal]

When update

[tight egret]

Wait we getting update?

[primal nimbus]

+2 weeks

[tight egret]

Is it part of the dlc or not

[primal nimbus]

Ah. Part of the Lost Boys quest?

[primal nimbus]

Lets see what Dave has to say

[tight egret]

Ah gotcha

[river moth]

Is an update actually coming tomorrow?

[tight egret]

Idk why but I got like a google notification talkin about it LOL

[river moth]

From stalker 2 news on x?

[vernal lily]

Right at the intro, when you stash all of the stuff before Nimble knocks you out, I remember some of the stuff would disappear. Especially the weapons. I guess this time around everything stayed.

[primal nimbus]

W

[tight egret]

Probably, something about stories untold

[primal nimbus]

Wait so no 556 weapons still?

[feral sigil]

Yes new update with 8 story missions,one weapon and fixes

[vernal lily]

556 weapons?

[river moth]

Source?

[feral sigil]

Source:trust me bro

Kidding, give me a moment

[river moth]

You're gonna make me delete silent hill 2 to install stalker 2.

[ebon blade]

[steel galleon]

Any news on ultimate edition perks?

[weak epoch]

I’ll we ever get 60fps on series s?

[steel galleon]

No

[weak epoch]

Damn

[river moth]

Ty Bro.

[feral sigil]

Bro X is strugling with 60 lol

[river moth]

It's locked to 30.

[steel galleon]

Honestly the ue5 trend of unoptimised slop is a bit annoying but it is what it is

[feral sigil]

Anytime brother

[river moth]

Maybe with the engine update. . .

[dry siren]

get up senka, you bum

[steel galleon]

I'd still say that Stalker CoP is better than sequel

But with each update it's getting closer and closer

[steel galleon]

?

[steel galleon]

Ohh 😭

[dry siren]

senka and I are always happy to see our customers

[dry siren]

Been awhile brother

[steel galleon]

I actully forgor that there's senka in stalker CS

[dry siren]

:)

[steel galleon]

But ye it's a deminitive version of a common/ish name

[dry siren]

Stalker: CS and the 45 album by Kino go together like bread and butter

[umbral lodge]

@primal nimbus dangerous vistor

[primal nimbus]

Honestly forgot that mission

[dry siren]

hank of the hill

[umbral lodge]

I know its usually something that easily completed but gloomy attacked me

[main jewel]

-#

[dry siren]

heheh his name is shithead

and he is a single celled organism

[main jewel]

thats my son, your mistaking him for another shithead

[dry siren]

they are a lineage

[main jewel]

his name is actually emoji_2

[dry siren]

real??

[main jewel]

yes

[dry siren]

[main jewel]

im not the religious type

but even i know not to put anything on allah

just click on the emoji and check

[dry siren]

im not religious either

Tony Soprano is the true god

[dusky spruce]

Hello how are yall

[main jewel]

sleepy

[dry siren]

goo

[sacred cedar]

I loaded my old veteran safe and sold almost everything i had to check out some of the armors i ignored and holy shit there is literally no reason other then carry weight to use exos the free DLC SSP suit or the Discovery from malachite are absolutely insane statwise

#📸┃screens_and_videos

[main jewel]

ssp 100 looks goofy, i enjoy my bulat

also is bro using a carryweight mod 💔

[sacred cedar]

yeah i didnt want to drag one armor at a time there

[dry siren]

I like my fully upgraded bandit jacket

[sacred cedar]

the discovery has literally the same stats

[main jewel]

[sacred cedar]

Insane how strong the science suits are

[dry siren]

It feels so much more insulting to the duty losers I murk with my also fully upgraded TOZ-34 and AKS-74U

[main jewel]

i wish human enemies in higher difficulty died as fast as you did

[sacred cedar]

you're one small PAK file away from making it happen

[main jewel]

i have a xbox i cant do anything

[dry siren]

imagine getting decked by some common criminal with a boomstick that lives entirely off of the diet of a starving ethopian child

[sacred cedar]

default fortnite dances in your direction lol bozo

[main jewel]

an xbox series x isnt a pc despite having good specs

i wish xbox went the pc route with the xbox series x

[sacred cedar]

Hopefully with time some mods are gonna heavily overhaul the armors and helmets

[dusky spruce]

In total how many endings are there

[dry siren]

more than 2 i think

[ebon blade]

Most people say four.

[dusky spruce]

I got 2 but im thinking about starting a fresh playthrough and get the other 2

[marble solstice]

So i rebought the game

Still have all of my mods, and updated them. The game crashed when I tried to start a new game

I cannot start a new game

[ebon blade]

Sounds like updating your Mods crashed your game.

[marble solstice]

Do i have to reinstall all of them?

[brazen arch]

first remove all your mods then start new game to see if the mods make game crash.

[charred nova]

A lot of them likely don’t work anymore

Unfortunately this game isn’t like Minecraft where you can simply select the version you wanna play

[brazen arch]

if the game can start after u remove all your mods, and u really really need those mods then install one by one to check which mod make it crash.

[marble solstice]

If only it was like skyrim where the game tells you what mod is struggling 💔

Oh wait

[neon egret]

what carryweight mod is that? 😮

[marble solstice]

Bruh it told the mod conflicts, and its every single mod I have installed

[neon egret]

I gotta get myself a carryweight mod lol, my hoarder tendencies need to be satisfied

[marble solstice]

How tf

Um

My game zooms in like 1000% when I use point shooting

[sacred cedar]

its a trainer

[marble solstice]

Ok now my flashlight wont stay on wtf

[sacred cedar]

Are you maybe playing gamma by mistake and ran out of batterys?

[marble solstice]

Im on console lmao

[sacred cedar]

Well theres your problem

[ebon blade]

Flashlight Mods are the number 1 cause of Stalker 2 crashing.

[sacred cedar]

Hilarious if true

[marble solstice]

Ofc bruh

Is the mod that changed the lighting gone?

I remember having a mod that made the lumen not blind me but it seems to be gone

[ebon blade]

Whenever there is a new Patch, anyone using a flashlight mod reports their game crashing.

[marble solstice]

Bro my game isnt even crashing rn. The flashlight just refuses to stay on.

I turn it on, and it clicks off immediately

[wary chasm]

Ima buy the game tmr bc of the update and it all just so happened to allign with my birthday so im treating myself atp

[steady jewel]

Any update on the dlc? Just bought the ultimate edition (I've been playing since the game pass days)

[steady jewel]

Happy birthday!

[dull apex]

Hey @ebon blade I have a code for Xbox Gamepass that I cant use cuz its for new users. Can I drop it here for any of these stalkers who might want it?

[steady jewel]

Double check with moderators, so bots don't grab it

[dull apex]

That's why I asked Tejas

[steady jewel]

Ahh kk

[pearl verge]

Why is their rounds of poltergeists and pusedo giants in the swamps

[dull apex]

Psi-Radiation

[ebon blade]

Once you agree who is worthy to have it, send it to them in a DM.

[dull apex]

Understood. Thanks Tejas

Any Volunteers who have NEVER HAD GAMEPASS before?

[shell flax]

I got a buddy who could use it

[pearl verge]

I have gone through this part of the game many times and it's never been this unforgivable I'm having 2 giants chase me and 3 poltergeists I'm unsure if this due to a mod or an update to the game lmao also I'm not even into the psi stuff yet

[dull apex]

The Swamps are completely laced with Psi-Radiation is why.

[pearl verge]

Even if that was the case then when I loot poltergeists wouldn't they just vanish

[charred nova]

why would i ever want the curse of having gamepass

[wary chasm]

I think my brother had like that 1 dollar trial thing previously is that what you're talking abt?

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker2-discontent-anger-gif-25555837

wanna know something crazy

actually nvm i probably shouldn't say

[wary chasm]

Crazy

[charred nova]

sorry i had to gaslight chat like that

unfortunately i can't talk about stuff from the 2023 leak

[wary chasm]

Is ultimate edition worth the extra cost?

[charred nova]

i mean not really the best item in my opinion that is extra is the pre order armor

for just 300 bux i can give you a pre order game code

[wary chasm]

Ah shucks looks like im roughly a year late

[wary chasm]

Bold of you to assume my price range isn't a couple of buttons and some tide pods

[charred nova]

i offer when ever people ask

ive had it for ages

someone is yet to take me up on the offer

[wary chasm]

Legit offer?

[charred nova]

oh yah

the code is real

unless some code fishers stole it

[wary chasm]

Im good 👍

[ebon blade]

[main jewel]

wht

[rancid kiln]

I bought it twice, don't be me 😅 But i don't regret it. It's more so for the expansions down the line

[charred nova]

all ill say is the story had some edits lets say

[shell flax]

Neat

[charred nova]

ALLEGEDLY

[main jewel]

oh yea no duh literally half the whole original game was stripped away and theres so many cutscenes only seen on trailers cause they never made it into the final game

they better actually re-add those in the future

[charred nova]

oh no not that

[rancid kiln]

Plenty of games have edits and bits cut out

[sacred cedar]

@main jewel i caught up on the ARG pretty cool stuff hopefully they continue doing these in the future i wanna participate next time

[shell flax]

Oh it’s not done yet

[charred nova]

some major story stuff was altered due to the war again allegedly

[main jewel]

i also know that there were some story stuff yea

i was gunna get to that

[sacred cedar]

I assume the conclusion will be in the story update tommorow

[main jewel]

also 2023 i think gsc got hacked

[spare canopy]

Story update? They going to remove it 😆

[sacred cedar]

[main jewel]

in 2023 gsc got hacked by these russian guys who discovered the current build and story line

or at least it says so on steam

[main jewel]

ipsf would be the most notable one that we have in the game

[charred nova]

not exactly but thats the story

[shell flax]

Yeah, all I’m getting online is essentially ‘fans’ trying to blackmail GSC with leaking out of date builds

[charred nova]

[marble solstice]

Found my issue

[charred nova]

i can explain in dms if you want

[spare canopy]

and what were the differences?

[shell flax]

No

[main jewel]

i would like this so i can be more knowledgeable

[marble solstice]

Lootable zone makes it so you need a headlamp, and idk where you get one 😭

[main jewel]

instead of d1 misinfo believer

[main jewel]

traders or random spawns

on xbox that i know of the headlamp, and flashlight, and zippo lighter looks like a veles detector

[shell flax]

I genuinely do not give a single shit about out of date and pre release builds, I just don’t see a reason to obsess over stuff that just never saw the light of day in the end

[marble solstice]

Cant find them on traders at all rn

[vernal lily]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/783337511018823770/1360616007558762658/pop_richter_1.1.gif

[spare canopy]

Until you find out what was cut made the game 100% better 😄

[shell flax]

I reiterate, I don’t care

[charred nova]

dmed you the lore

[sacred cedar]

Is it good lore?

[light dirge]

Any source on this? that's so much

[sacred cedar]

Yeah it was revealed to me in a dream

[spare canopy]

Well, its they way the game was made... change a tiny bit of code and you have to download the whole file again 😄

[main jewel]

go to cordon

[spare canopy]

Yup Daddies sauce (UK Brown sauce brand).

[marble solstice]

I did

Nobody had one

[main jewel]

cordon stables? theres new traders there

[spare canopy]

Eh?

[main jewel]

also at where lex the legend is, theres a night trader and a day trader

[main jewel]

kyne put new traders around

[sacred cedar]

PIg Farm in cordon, Loner base in CS

[main jewel]

in the mod

[spare canopy]

The past the old check point under the bridge?

[sacred cedar]

Yeah i assume its there

I dont use the mod but i can see it being there

[spare canopy]

Oh, it's a mod... I thought they added it as part of the game... I used love that base in CS... Shame it got abandoned.

[umbral lodge]

So far master has been interesting

[spare canopy]

Not tried it yet, waiting for the engine update to come out first, then wait for a months of patches to fix all the broken stuff.

and hopefully some mods get fixed for linux

[umbral lodge]

One thing ive noticed is sometimes guns falling through the map after someone's dies

Kinda annoying when you need the ammo

[spare canopy]

heard about artifacts doing that too

[umbral lodge]

Its improved

[spare canopy]

so not fixed still? just not as often?

[umbral lodge]

Its fixed

[spare canopy]

Cool

[umbral lodge]

I had problems getting the simplest of artifacts since launch on ps and was able to finally get the ones from ribs outside zlyssia

[charred nova]

eh

[spare canopy]

if your lucky you can get the star artifact, the one that massively increases carrying weight.

[umbral lodge]

You've got me curious

I figure you can only find at night right?

[spare canopy]

I think I got it during the day...

[umbral lodge]

What reigon do you remember?

[marble solstice]

I found him, no flashlight tho

[spare canopy]

it was in teh lessor zones, in ribs just south of Zalyssia and slightly to the east

[rancid kiln]

No that's normal xD They are a pain in the butt

[umbral lodge]

Ngl ive never found that and ive scoured the lesser zone through 3 playthroughts of honestly exploring

[weary hedge]

Get it on sale

[spare canopy]

It's a rare drop... I have only got it once.

[rancid kiln]

There is no real trick to finding specific ones (Some have a set one around the map) but it's really just hoping that whatever you want spawns. I got them all and it was a SLOG! Reloading saves again and again. There is places that they will spawn, that's locked in (Like only gravity will spawn here) But it's really just RNG

[umbral lodge]

The stalker rng in the lesser zone sometimes I swear

Just left the hub for the first time and got mac10

Last run I got a gp37

[ebon blade]

Are you sure about the name? Star artifact?

[rancid kiln]

Night Star

[spare canopy]

It was something NightStar, IIRC?

[rancid kiln]

Night Star is the best weight one, besides ||Weird Water||

[spare canopy]

Yeah, but weird water has some downsides though...

[rancid kiln]

True... but how much weight it gives... it's worth

[spare canopy]

Meh, if you build your stalker right, you really don't need it.

[rancid kiln]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[spare canopy]

But until that point, it's great as mule... and bringing half the zone back 😄

[severe coral]

bought the game a week ago full price standard edition for xbox, now there is no sale for upgrading to ultimate come on GSC 😿

[tranquil mantle]

It might just be my game but late game has been especially janky so far

[rancid kiln]

There should be....

Yeah that xD

[rancid kiln]

Yeah Pripyat tends to drop a bit... Verticality and dense will do that 😅

[tranquil mantle]

For me it was mostly the underground section and then going back to the doctor, seems to be better now

[sacred cedar]

You guys think we will get drivable cars with the new update?

[weary hedge]

No

[main jewel]

no

whts the point

[sacred cedar]

[main jewel]

whats a beat up lada gunna do against a grav anomaly

[sacred cedar]

I wanna drive around with the Colonel hunting Sparklers and Bandits

[main jewel]

the colonel doesnt wanna drive with you

[sacred cedar]

Fine I guess I just go play Gamma then

[ebon blade]

Hugging a Boar?

[vernal lily]

blind dog

[vernal lily]

borb

[plain star]

Best trader for selling stuff?

[ebon blade]

Traders that you turn green.

[plain star]

only barman from rostok and the other one next to wards base

[narrow olive]

Is the game fun without the hud?

[main jewel]

make more people green

[vernal lily]

Arms dealers and armor traders will give you more money than selling stuff to barmen, etc. Green traders will help for better prices, do side quests to turn the base green.

[main jewel]

YES I PLAY IT WITH ALL HUD ELEMENTS OFF

[karmic ice]

Depends on the player

[vernal lily]

Unless stuff changed, but last I remember those two people always gave you more money

[plain star]

barman offered 100 koupons for a 100% condition SPAS12 lmao

[vernal lily]

Def do not sell to barmen lol, they do not give you a lot

[narrow olive]

Any mods on console to make it feel more realistic?

[plain star]

I like using all hud elements off including crossair, and the healthbar being at like 10% oppacity

Feels a lot more inmersive

[plain star]

The two traders in rostok, the clothing woman and the guy with weapons, offered the same for same items, wether its guns or clothing pieces

[main jewel]

not yet

i mean theres mods that mod damage

bullet drop and damage and pen and stuff

[vernal lily]

Those are the people I was referring to. Always sell your stuff to people like them (traders that sell weapons or armor)

[plain star]

i have the sidequest that is about|| recieving bread in rostok||, will that help get green the base?

[karmic ice]

I'm pretty sure it can, but it's better to do the arena and barkeep's quests (along with the radiant quests) to increase your reputation

[vernal lily]

I wish the arena was repeatable

[plain star]

I already did, the barmans and arena quests

all i have left to do is the bread one

[karmic ice]

I honestly want more rounds in the arena

[plain star]

Infinite money

[karmic ice]

At least 10

[plain star]

I snuck out of the arena a LOT of armor and weapons

[karmic ice]

SoC Arena was fun imo

[plain star]

SoC was peak, even if its just about walking around

[karmic ice]

Yeah this is the thing about reputation, sometimes you do less quests to get the base green and sometimes it takes way too long for it to turn green

[plain star]

i wanted to have the same feeling of SoC in S2. the pale, dark atmosphere with a yellow ish filter when reaching yantars brain scorcher and other places

[weary hedge]

I am a hoarder;( I have too much stuff in my stash. And I don’t want to use it at all, lol. I have so much baton and vodka it’s nuts.

[plain star]

in my previous run i stored in my stash more than five hundred medkits

https://tenor.com/view/five-hundred-cigarettes-bortus-orville-cigarettes-500-gif-7580742793072271551

damn

[weary hedge]

I’m at 225 right now

And yes, I saw Bortus meme:)

[plain star]

Cool

[undone plaza]

About pale/ash
You actually can use settings in new upd?

[vernal lily]

Hello Roku

[plain star]

i did, and also used Nvidia filters, it looks very cool, but still missing that hostile, dark weather, and more brain washing

[undone plaza]

Hiiii

[shadow copper]

Has anyone gotten their collectors edition yet??

[plain star]

I have important question, in the bread sidequest, i got in the line b4 someone else, and he stood right behind me, IS he actually going to wait for his turn?

[undone plaza]

I think you can use some reshade

But in general every game have their own native gamma/colloring set

I like how stalker2 have very comfortable vibe, I don't know ?
