[gusty hearth]

Hello people

[copper radish]

honey bbq I never tried but I'm interested

[cobalt fiber]

Honey mustard glaze on gammon for example

Oof

[harsh jungle]

I like sweet chili with my spicy nuggets at Wendy’s

[cobalt fiber]

I got some steaks in for tomorrow though. Took a trip to the farmers market

[potent knot]

Oh sweet chili is awesome

[cobalt fiber]

Idk if it’s international but McDonald’s here does sweet curry dip

That dip is next level

[potent knot]

Apparently they offer plain honey at McD's, I've never heard of anyone having plain honey with their nugs

[copper radish]

I don't go to McD 👀

[cobalt fiber]

I go every now and then if I wanna eat on the road

Just a box of 20 nuggs for the road

[potent knot]

Wendy's is the cheapest and best option here in Canada if you want a quick bite

[harsh jungle]

I haven’t been to McDonald’s in at least a year

[cobalt fiber]

If I remember right they were talking about trialling a few Wendy’s in UK

We got Popeyes finally a couple years back

[gusty hearth]

Mc IS MID

[cobalt fiber]

My first popeyes visit was on the way into the city centre to a club after pub crawling

Went down a treat

[gusty hearth]

Why Not the local Italian

[cobalt fiber]

I’m not sitting down for Italian food before going clubbing

[gusty hearth]

No class and No culture

[cobalt fiber]

The culture of getting smashed and potentially getting a smash is fine for me

[shell flax]

Demolish a large cheese stuffed crust pizza solo then smash ten shots

[gusty hearth]

Duty IS a failed faction

[cobalt fiber]

[smoky hawk]

brazillian

[plain fiber]

Ward vs. Spark basically falls into the standard "Fascists vs. Nutters" trope.

[heady parrot]

Brazillian boar?!

Never heard of em tho 👀

[gusty hearth]

Or weird vs Mentally

[cobalt fiber]

Honestly the factions were very underwhelming

The best was Noon due to the tie in with Strider’s ending slides in CoP

Even they were underwhelming cos of how limited their appearance was

[gusty hearth]

But scar IS mental

[cobalt fiber]

Hoc Scar is not Scar

[gusty hearth]

He has a scar in the brain

[hazy haven]

When do you think the new update will be released people?

[pallid nest]

2nd or 3rd week of this month is my guess

[plain fiber]

Yeah, February will probably be the first update of the year.

[final mica]

you think they will patch that train car strat to get into pripyat early or?

[pallid nest]

no

[plain fiber]

They might, they've been patching out every shortcut to Pripyat that seems to get found.

Honestly a bit disappointed we can't use that excavator that's extended onto one of the rail cars. Seems like a really obvious and rather easy way to get in.

[shell flax]

I personally think they purposely only patch one or two early prip jumps

Truthfully it would’ve been pretty simple for them to completely lock us out early on but they didn’t

[plain fiber]

Mmm.

[final mica]

I get it. ya but tbh i don’t think they can patch the train car one since it’s a very difficult way to get in

[plain fiber]

That anomaly tunnel was surprisingly easy to get through. I went in on my own with just a bolt and you really wouldn't even need the scanner to begin with.

[hazy haven]

They should consider adding another mode of transportation to the game.

[plain fiber]

Highly doubt that would ever happen. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has always been a walking game. They originally wanted vehicles in Shadow of Chornobyl, but uh....it didn't work out.

[hazy haven]

For example, when completing missions in the swamps, it is quite far from the nearest settlement.

so boring

[plain fiber]

There's a teleport anomaly you can take to get out. Drops you off right above Noah's abandoned ship.

[hazy haven]

horse, bike, donkey... whateever

[hazy haven]

do you have any more info about it? I never heard this one

[plain fiber]

In that farmstead in the swamps, the one filled with the flashbang anomalies. It's on the roof of one of the buildings.

[marble gyro]

Huh, so GOG updated their terms of service and is no longer affiliated with CD PROJEKT

[plain fiber]

I mean it got sold back to the original co-founder or something right?

[hazy haven]

I'm just thinking that I'm still stuck in the story. I haven't played for a couple of weeks now, but I believe I never saw the full body of my avatar Dunno if it was created

[plain fiber]

That's been there since launch, you've always been able to see your body.

[still current]

Shrooms

Nasty stuff

[hazy haven]

I'm so excited for more unlocked locations in future updates. Especially, I would like to see more of Pripyat.

[plain fiber]

Looking at Wikipedia, it was a wholly owned subsidiary of CD Projekt until December of 2025 and now it's fully independent.

[still current]

CNPP, Iron forest, Limansk, ****?????********, ****???? are on the way

[plain fiber]

It also says that "the studio will continue to support GOG for its games.".

[marble gyro]

Thats cool at least

[plain fiber]

Yeah, so I don't think there's any bad blood between the companies.

[marble gyro]

That's good, thought there was a fallout happening between the two

[plain fiber]

If there is I haven't heard anything about it.

[barren ginkgo]

So I never finished cop what ends up happening to ur character I always just called him the major

Does he complete his mission and go back to mainland does he die etc what happens to him?

[still current]

He does complete it and remain in the zone first as a military stalker then establishes a new faction to occupy yaniv and surrounding regions. He's present in stalker two.

[barren ginkgo]

Really?! That’s dope asf

[still current]

He's actually a military stalker from beginning

[barren ginkgo]

Why does he stay tho?

Yea I know that I always loved the premise behind cop

Lone badass spec ops guy has orders to infiltrate the zone and figure out what happened to the other units of troops that went missing

[still current]

Do military stuff

I don't quite remember the exact motives

But he stays and establishes the crops

Or corps

[barren ginkgo]

What his name in s2 major whatever his last name was ?

[plain fiber]

Farmer Degtyarev.

[still current]

I always get the spelling wrong

[still current]

Corps

My bad

Farmer major

[plain fiber]

Nah it's funny.

[still current]

Now farmer colonel

[barren ginkgo]

What?

His names what?

[still current]

Deggy

[plain fiber]

Alexander Degtyarev.

[still current]

Alexander degtyarev

His new rank is colonel ig since he owns a faction now

[barren ginkgo]

Is he a guy you end up fighting or have a choice of what?

[still current]

Choices

[plain fiber]

Well at the end of CoP it mentions he turns down the rank of colonel, so maybe he ended up taking it later on.

[still current]

You can either side or trample

[barren ginkgo]

Also so does the stalker 2 story line lead you to every single seperate area in the zone naturally or do u have to go off on your own to explore them

Well I’m definitely siding with them cuz the major is sick as hell

[still current]

Well, he stayed as a military stalker then established his faction which means he ended up being his own colonel

Paramilitary faction ranking at its finest

[plain fiber]

Unless he took the rank from the military later on and then founded the faction.

I don't think there's a ton of detail on the founding of The Corps.

[still current]

Seems not the case if we consider CoP lore

But maybe

[plain fiber]

Are The Corps actually independent of the military/government? I'm not sure if it's ever stated in-game.

[still current]

His men are likely military stalker in origin

Like him

Not actual military

They are pretty different

More like military agents with no official military ranking

[barren ginkgo]

I just know I’m after sircaa and strider and noontide attacking the base so it still feels like stuff is rapping up and there’s a lot of the zone I haven’t explored so is the story gonna take me around town or do I gotta do it myself

[still current]

Yeah

[plain fiber]

They might be military/government-aligned but independent.

[still current]

You're mid way ish

[barren ginkgo]

Gotcha

[still current]

You'll meet him anyway

[barren ginkgo]

Well dang this was a good purchase lotta game time

[plain fiber]

I'd explore the Cooling Towers on your own. It seems that the story doesn't take you there until the Point of No Return.

[still current]

But your choices will determine whether he likes you or not

[plain fiber]

If you disappoint Deggy I'll shoot you in the foot.

[shell flax]

Vati actually put a video up today about this stuff

[plain fiber]

Welp, I'll have to watch that then.

[still current]

If you're siding with some specific side, he'll not feel happy to see you, so

[barren ginkgo]

Gotcha is there good stuff there ? Also after game completion is it like a new game plus one thing where u keep ur gear and allat or do u just go in exploration mode with no objs or do u gotta totally restart

[plain fiber]

No New Game+ and probably never will be. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. isn't that kind of game.

[shell flax]

35 minute vid on the ‘canon’ stuff

[still current]

I rarely watch stuff. I'm into beating lore myself

[barren ginkgo]

You mean ward? U mean to tell me I’m not gonna be cool with deggy cuz I sided with ward

[still current]

Yeah

Bingo

[plain fiber]

You sided with the Ward? Oh dear.

[barren ginkgo]

Well every other ending screws skif the one guy here said

[still current]

You have plenty of chances to mend that

Tho

So, no worries

[barren ginkgo]

Said ward was the only ending where skif didn’t get screwed over

[still current]

All yeh

[barren ginkgo]

Oh good if I can help homie in ANY way I will. Dudes a legend like skif went through basically the whole zone smashing heads

[still current]

Even the one you wish to end up seeking

[plain fiber]

Lol, who told you that?

[thin bear]

How u using it?usb o bluetooth?for me it doesnt work on steam

[shell flax]

Me

[still current]

See, the 3 protagonists from the original trilogy are there

All are not aligned

[barren ginkgo]

Strelok is in stalker 2??

[still current]

Yeah

He's okay with deggy to some degree ish

[barren ginkgo]

What about the one guy from clear sky

[still current]

Not in reality but somewhat

[plain fiber]

Oh yeah, everything works out great for Skif. ||He just becomes the unwitting pawn/spy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s equivalent of the Illuminati. There's no way it won't come back to bite him in the ass.||

[still current]

The biggest plot twister

[plain fiber]

Scar? He's alive but...

[still current]

Literally bread lover

[shell flax]

||And he gets locked away to starve to death, trapped in a pod for eternity or zombified into a false paradise in the others ||

[still current]

He hates sausage apparently

[barren ginkgo]

Ooooh right see I didn’t like clear sky I didn’t realize scar was him

So I’ll be killing scar cuz he’s with spark/noontide

[still current]

It's him, and not entirely him at the same time.

[plain fiber]

Don't forget ||trapped in the Zone in the Strelok ending.||

[still current]

His lore is weird in S2

[barren ginkgo]

So basically I should be siding with ward to make sure none of that happens to skif

[shell flax]

||that’s the starve to death||

[still current]

Kinda not like his old self

[plain fiber]

Ah my bad.

[still current]

All ending are bad

All

Just all

[plain fiber]

The Ward ending isn't "good" either.

[still current]

[shell flax]

I never said it was good, I just said it was the one Skif doesn’t get totally screwed over

[still current]

Well, ward ending was kinda miserably backstabbing to korsh

Korsh was real to his belief

But the higher up were the ture evil all along

[plain fiber]

I'm hoping the ||Project Y/Kaymanov|| ending is the canon one. The way it's presented certainly feels like that's the case.

[barren ginkgo]

Listen guys I just want skif to survive and not be killed or brain dead

He deserves that much

[elder glade]

If I was skiff I wouldn't care abt nun, new home, whatever I want, sounds good

[plain fiber]

The one where he ends up in the pod doesn't lead to his death, it seems more like some weird ascension.

[still current]

He's alive in 2 endings

One is more miserable than the other

[plain fiber]

I mean...technically he's alive for all endings. Whether he lives very long past the endings is up for debate though.

[still current]

One is trapped in the zone under tyrannical rule, and the other is a pawn to the X masterbrains

[still current]

Shining zone = dead
Pod= dead

[barren ginkgo]

Trapped in the zone is better than anything in seeming to understand

He has somewhere to live shit to eat, drink, stuff to do. Etc

[still current]

Subtle matter is still a non defined theory

It's either AI or true

Merging with the zone is kinda eh

Not sure if you can bite it

[shell flax]

Nope, because here’s the thing. The Zone is 100% sealed off. It’s a slow death.

No more new stalkers, no supplies

[still current]

The other one gave him an option but he decided to play along in a weird way

[barren ginkgo]

Oh dam well then if that were me I’d go find the biggest fight I can find and die in a blaze of glory

[shell flax]

You get forcibly brain touched, take it or leave it

[plain fiber]

Oh screw it, we're in the spoiler channel anyways...

Strelok ending: Trapped in the Zone

Scar/Spark ending: Zombified

Ward ending: Unwitting pawn, spy, and possible sleeper agent for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s equivalent of the Illuminati.

Dr. Kaymanov/Project Y ending: Locked in a pod but you ascend to a sort of godhood and allow the Zone the freedom to make its own choice...or something. I need to find more of the lore and see the ending for myself still.

[barren ginkgo]

Man why the game gotta be so drab

[still current]

New God, an unreasonable new ccon with one con

[plain fiber]

Eastern European/Slavic media: "You must be new here."

[still current]

It's serves the dlcs coming ahead

[shell flax]

I remember a huge argument in the lore channel about the shining zone being some sort of true paradise ending and I’m like

Please shoot me instead of this paradise

[still current]

So, maybe the reason for that all can be found in the future expansions

[barren ginkgo]

Dam man I just want skif to have a life like the other games main guys

Deg had it best seems, scar was alright and apparently strelok is Alive still too

[plain fiber]

Also I'd argue that the vibe of the Dr. K/Project Y ending is much more hopeful than the other endings. I'd have to hear it again, but the soundtrack was much more...happy?

[still current]

Literally zombification, I mean even the devs showed the truth to it. It would've been a good ending if they only showed the shinging zone without showing the real side of it

[shell flax]

He does have a life in the ward one, Tim is forgetting one thing about agents: they still have free will, they aren’t monolithians

[plain fiber]

I didn't forget, I'm just saying that being an unwitting pawn isn't true freedom.

[shell flax]

And all the others are?

[barren ginkgo]

Hey ima soldier kinda guy pawning is what I’m best at

[plain fiber]

I mean...the whole theme of the Dr. K/Project Y ending seems to be about the freedom to make your own choices.

[still current]

Scar in S2 is more of a fanatical instrument. Bro literally fucked everyone so bad . He's the plotteister in the story, second to faust

[barren ginkgo]

Take orders fulfill them without asking questions soldiers shouldn’t think they are best as robots that’s their whole job. Commander says shoot that PHUCK you shoot that PHUCK

[shell flax]

I don’t buy the ‘ascending’ thing from the project y ending. Unless Skif turns into something like Agatha, that’s as good as death to me.

[plain fiber]

@barren ginkgo You care about spoilers?

[barren ginkgo]

So being a pawn gives dude jobs and direction and life

I do not at all that’s why I’m asking all this lol

I always read ahead I’m terrible for it I like reading last page before the first.

[plain fiber]

Alright:

All but one of the previous protagonists die in S2 at some point and so do a bunch of the other returning characters.

[still current]

Canon ending will answer our questions when the dlcs are done. I mean, maybe ward ending is the real one cuz it has possible continuity. Strelok and skif too. I mean, it's kinda hard to pinpoint the Canon one tbh

[barren ginkgo]

Deg is the only one I don’t want to die like wtf

[still current]

3 can kinda have a continuation

[plain fiber]

Wait, does Deggy die in that fight with Korshunov? I can't remember.

[still current]

He's actually one of the guys without a sinister plan

[plain fiber]

Deggy is the only one who didn't go nuts.

[still current]

Strider was the best tho

Saddest mf in the zone

[plain fiber]

Strider deserved better.

[shell flax]

Nope

[barren ginkgo]

If Deg does die it needs to be tears of the sun style last stand going out like a soldier type shi or im deleting the game

[still current]

If I get one wish for S2 is getting strider to get what he deserved

[plain fiber]

Same.

Justice for Strider and Noontide.

[still current]

He was cool btw. Bro gave a good fight

[shell flax]

Understood the DLC has a scene of him beating the shit out of Dalin

[plain fiber]

👀

[barren ginkgo]

Dude deg dying is dog water.

[plain fiber]

Where'd you get that info? Are people data mining shit already?

[shell flax]

He doesn’t die though

[barren ginkgo]

I’m angry now.

[plain fiber]

Sorry I misread that, Deggy doesn't die in the fight.

[still current]

One ending tho

[barren ginkgo]

I’m just confused then ig lol GCs are always like this

[shell flax]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-metal-gear-rising-revengeance-senator-armstrong-revengeance-i-made-it-the-fuck-up-gif-25029602

[still current]

Well know for sure after dlcs

If he lives then yey

[plain fiber]

Aw.

[still current]

The only one I truly dislike is scar tbh

[plain fiber]

Scar was likeable in Clear Sky before he went completely nuts.

[still current]

Absolute nutjob

[plain fiber]

To be fair...it's not his fault.

[shell flax]

Honestly CS Scar would probably be a more jokey Zotov I won’t lmao

[barren ginkgo]

Deg simply needs to stay alive and skif too. I could care less for the rest of em

[still current]

Well, I find it hard to believe he's our scar. He may be a dup

Who knows

[barren ginkgo]

I spent a lot of time with deg I’ve had that guy go through some SHIIIIIIT

[still current]

Or he got so badly brainfried after being captured in CNPP

Last ccon brainwash

[shell flax]

He did get another mfer plugged into his brain

[still current]

He was the last agent programmed tbh

[shell flax]

Like quite literally Scar had another dudes mind transplanted into him after CS

[still current]

God knows what kind of shit was uploaded to his brain

[barren ginkgo]

I’m big on the soldiers shi lol. Don’t like seeing good soldiers die. Skif is def a good one and deg was too

[still current]

From a mere merc to a cult leader

[still current]

Then your ending should be off the Ward and scar

Then you get you buddy safe and sound

[shell flax]

Rahmi CS Scar was brain dead at the end of CS, it’s literally another dude crammed into his head with half garbled memories

[still current]

Idk for how long tho, but he survives

And you miss his master combat skill

[barren ginkgo]

Wym off u mean follow ward

[still current]

With a knife

[shell flax]

Scar himself is dead

[still current]

Nope

[barren ginkgo]

Aw man I already followed ward

[still current]

Stay away from ward and scar

[still current]

You have plenty of chances to side with other sides

You can pick one over later

[barren ginkgo]

So follow anybody that isn’t war or scar? So who tf do I follow then?

[shell flax]

Strelok is a traitorous backstabber, I’m not following him to see Deggy like four times

[still current]

Nobody, or strelok

[still current]

He won't be dead tho

[barren ginkgo]

How do u side with nobody lol ? Is there a choice later on to say phuck everybody I’m going my own way?

[still current]

Will likely get killed by the monolith in the after math

Cuz knowing deggy

[shell flax]

Deggy doesn’t die in any of the runs though only Scar & Strelok do

[still current]

He wouldn't really submit to strelok's fantasy world

[still current]

Ward run he dies fighting korsh if I'm not mistaken.

He stabs korsh

[shell flax]

You are mistaken

[plain fiber]

Dr. Kaymanov/Project Y ending is the closest you're going to get.

[shell flax]

Deggy doesn’t show up after you enter point of no return in the Ward run, he exits stage left as far as I remember

[still current]

I am

I mixed up

He didn't die and it was against the ward

That's actually skiff ending i thing

[barren ginkgo]

Alright I guess it rilly doesn’t matter what ending I take I don’t care long as skif and deg are left alive ffs

[still current]

He fights korsh with skif

And survives

[barren ginkgo]

So choose project Y because strelok is a back stabbed and ward gets deg killed

[shell flax]

No it doesn’t

[plain fiber]

Deg doesn't die in any of the paths, I was mistaken.

[shell flax]

Bro the conversation literally just said Deg doesn’t get killed

[barren ginkgo]

Gotcha sorry guys lotta different people saying different shit

[still current]

Yeah

He doesn't

[barren ginkgo]

Came here to avoid a lengthy yt vid

[shell flax]

Which is good lmao

[plain fiber]

In S2, Strelok becomes an unhinged obsessive and Scar's brain is just gone.

[still current]

I mixed up his fight to him being dead but he was hammered by an exo punch, so death was a bit less painful

[barren ginkgo]

Alright so I’m sticking with the ward ending ? Def doesn’t die and skif doesn’t get screwed he ends up being a pawn?

[shell flax]

Yep

[plain fiber]

Good ol' Deggy; the one OG S.T.A.L.K.E.R. protagonist who doesn't go off his freaking rocker.

[still current]

Your first go should be on your gut feeling. Just follow your guts

Ignore our convo

[barren ginkgo]

Ima spoiler guy remember

[plain fiber]

Just finish your Ward playthrough and go for the others another time.

[still current]

I can literally show you the fight

[shell flax]

Because he doesn’t idolize the Zone like Scar & Strelok, hell considering Deggy’s hometown is The primo shithole in the Zone I imagine he hates it lmao

[still current]

Him being badass

[barren ginkgo]

I just wants skif not zombified or dead and deg alive yall said deg doesn’t die in any ending and ward keeps skif from being screwed

[still current]

Yes , but you miss the heaviest deggy interaction instead

[barren ginkgo]

I will not be shooting at deg non matter what

[plain fiber]

I mean, it sounds like Prypiat was mostly fine until the Signal.

[shell flax]

Still funny that Korshunov straight up Attitude Adjusts Deggy, John Cena style

[barren ginkgo]

Idc I don’t need to interact with the guy or see him I just want him left alone and not killed

[plain fiber]

He gets the shit kicked out of him but he doesn't die.

[shell flax]

No not really lmao, the Zone still ruined his already debased home

[still current]

Okay, since you have your mind set, wanna see the epic battle then?

In vid instead

[barren ginkgo]

But as I’m hearing siding with ward means ward attacks corps and attitude adjusts deg? Just doesn’t kill em ?

[still current]

Yeah

[shell flax]

No

[still current]

They'll let you go

No fight, no trouble

[plain fiber]

I swear I remember dialogue stating that Prypiat was solidly locked down until the Signal occured, at which point it really went to shit.

[shell flax]

Deggy doesnt fight the Ward in the Ward run

[still current]

They'll commemt on you but nothing more

[barren ginkgo]

Gotcha

[still current]

He'll say that you're not welcome cuz you're a ward dog

[barren ginkgo]

Thanks gentlemen I’m gonna continue to sloth my way to a trader to unload this loot

[still current]

Something like that

And he'll keep his eyes on you

[shell flax]

The Zone itself ruined prypyiat, I’m not talking about monolith

[barren ginkgo]

That’s fine I’ll be a ward dog idc, I just want mr OG to live

[plain fiber]

Go to Zaton and get the Weird Water artifact.

[still current]

And that you can stay in his base but don't outstay his welcome

[plain fiber]

Well my point is that it got worse after the Signal.

[still current]

Great then

[barren ginkgo]

I have a bad habit of picking up every single thing I see and taking it to a trader and selling it all

I’m constantly loaded to the gills jonesing for a Hercules lmao

Never moving fast at all 🤦‍♂️ I’m like the worst loot goblin there ever was

[plain fiber]

Weird Water ups your carry weight.

[barren ginkgo]

If I could send a picture in this chat I’d show yall my inventory and you’d either puke or laugh ur ass off

[plain fiber]

Pair it with an exo and you'll max it out.

[barren ginkgo]

Zaton where in zaton

[plain fiber]

Uh....Northeastern section iirc. Honestly just look up a video guide and save yourself the frustration.

[barren ginkgo]

Gotcha

I think discord is way better than sitting through 45 minutes of yt

[plain fiber]

I promise it's not 45 minutes, the artifact is very easy to get so the guide video isn't long.

Honestly all of the arch-artifact guide videos are short. Provided you know what to do, they really don't take that long to get.

[barren ginkgo]

Gotcha

[still current]

Drunk vision

[final mica]

it’s been 4 hours and i’m still save scumming for the compass at waste burial

[barren ginkgo]

Anybody like hell divers?

[final mica]

never played it but any tips on S.T.A.L.K.E.R?

[frigid hill]

leninthagreat has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[barren ginkgo]

Yes don’t be a loot goblin hore like me

[marble gyro]

FOR SUPER EARRRRRRTHHHH

[barren ginkgo]

Just don’t do it work for ur money

[barren ginkgo]

I’ve been playing at level 150 since I was like 10 lol I’m a bit of a bad mf in that game I run 4 different squads Alpha bravo Charlie delta

[marble gyro]

I'm level 75, but I have like all the war bonds

[barren ginkgo]

I’m the voted leader, I play the game very organized. We drop together we move in formation and everybody follows orders.

[marble gyro]

I play off and on

[barren ginkgo]

I’m level 97 and have all the ones I want

Every realized what happens to our dives when orders are not followed lmao

I pick everybody’s strats and boosts guns and armor on them to choose tho

[marble gyro]

Always explore and look for stashes, there are a bunch of secret stuff not marked

Speaking of Stashes, in COP they suck, all they are, are a bunch of items piled on top of eachother

[final mica]

i heard that if you have 4 or 5 batteries you will take negative damage thus repairing armor when struck by anomalies

[barren ginkgo]

There’s alotta stuff people don’t realize about hd2 and squad leader is a must for every single dive that knows all of these unspoken truths

[marble gyro]

Not really

I just dive, shoot shit and make it dead

I play on super helldive

[barren ginkgo]

I mean u CAN play that way I just don’t I run my dives on militant precision and effectiveness

[marble gyro]

Play my music, and zone out

[barren ginkgo]

Triangle formation, we do objectives in a line that makes sense leading back to extract

I call each strat nobody tosses shit without permission

My guys love it lol I have met a lot of people that absolutely hate it but my boys in each of the 4 squads love it

[river chasm]

That sounds like it would be extremely annoying in a matchmade game but if your group all likes it then all the more power to you

[barren ginkgo]

Lotta times I’ll have us all online a once each squad staffed and I appoint a leader and we all hit the same planet same region at once

[barren ginkgo]

Yea no matchmake that ain’t gonna fly lol, but then again I do not play with randoms at ALL can’t stand the way some people play lol. None of my guys play randoms either if we aren’t on together we aren’t playing

[marble gyro]

I only play tactically on pubg and arma

But other games, I just zone out and do my own thing

[barren ginkgo]

I hate it most when all 4 of us are in 4 totally different areas of the map like 300 meters or more apart

[marble gyro]

Thats me, I have a loadout equipped for solo

[barren ginkgo]

Every 30 meters apart the divers are from each other another patrol/encounter spawns in. And it stacks 30, 60, 90

That’s a SHIT load more enemies than there needs to be with no intersecting fields of fire or any organization

My boys rinse and repeat high resistance high level attacks on super helldive like it’s a walk in the park lol we maybe loose 5-8 reinforces

[marble gyro]

They despawn after you die tho

[barren ginkgo]

If you played with me and the boys you’d like it a lot I promise it sounds terrible but it makes for such good gameplay

[marble gyro]

I have video proof of it

[final mica]

i heard that if you have 4 or 5 batteries you will take negative damage thus repairing armor when struck by anomalies

[barren ginkgo]

That sounds great I haven’t had the chance to try it though

So I thought spark was with noontide/monolith? I just witnessed a squad of spark guys and monolith guys waste each other

[nova quartz]

What a day. No coupons, zero loot and an empty stomach...

[barren ginkgo]

It’d be bad ass if you could duel wield

[marble gyro]

It be badass if I can dual wield in hitman

[barren ginkgo]

Hitman is another one of my favs played every single one except for the first one

Never had a PC

They should add the silver baller into stalker 2 as a little Easter egg type deal or if that incurs legal crap cuz of copyright just add the hardballer it’s the real world version of the silver baller

[marble gyro]

You are not missing anything, first one was extremely tedious

[barren ginkgo]

AMT hardballer u can buy one in real life but good buck finding one AMT went out of business early 2000s

It’s my dream pistol to own I want the government edition

Easily a 4000$ pistol

It’s all stainless steel though from what I’ve heard tho they suck. The steel on steel causes the slide to gauge the guide, and if not kept clean they jam and they are extremely heavy like you could kill sometime just throwing it at them without shooting em. But they are seriously accurate

[weary geode]

is there any good mods on steam workshop or any mods that rework how the mutants work to make it like the older games?

[barren ginkgo]

Which trader has higher tier nvg

[marble gyro]

Higher tiers are usually found

[barren ginkgo]

Where

[marble gyro]

Gen3B yantar

Gen3A Jupiter Market

Gen 1 waste processing station

[river chasm]

Gen 2 is in great swamps

[barren ginkgo]

Could you possibly point out in the map where the nvgs in yantar are?

Like precisely so I can just go grab em

?

[marble gyro]

Don't remember where but Gen3b in yantar is in a bunker and you need a code for it

Code is 5578

[barren ginkgo]

I think I can see the bunker on the map thanks a lot this gen 1 sucks donkey dik

[graceful dirge]

https://youtube.com/shorts/e9_RBinO2nk They are at the dam not the scientist bunker

I actually prefer gen 1

Good evening, Stalkers,

Skif suddenly stopped sprinting and started moving much slower, even after removing all items from the backpack and being very light. I no longer have a previous save because I’m playing on Master difficulty, and it auto-saves 🙁
Has anyone managed to fix this bug?

[copper radish]

haven't seen it yet, sorry

[pallid nest]

I dont know either but maybe try sleeping?

[honest niche]

I even slept a lot and ate everything as well, but nothing changed.

[barren ginkgo]

Can okay so can someone plz explain why the actual PHUCK I just got gang banged by like 10 plus bloodsuckers at once???!!!

[modest notch]

There’s a dwarf enemy that stole my shotgun

[barren ginkgo]

Going towards lloynas house after fighting in defense of zaillsaya

Absolute gang phuck of bloodsuckers just took all my ammo😡🤬🤬🤬

Dude the further I travel to this stupid house the more bloodsuckers I run into. I think I just counted like 15

What is going on rn?!

I’m bout to he down to just pistol. I generally carry 500 rounds 556 300 rounds .45 and 80 rounds 12 gauge. I’m out of 12 gauge down to like 30 rounds .45 and only 100 of 556…

[dull osprey]

ggrrr burers

[karmic jay]

At least they can’t yoink Skifs pistol

[dull osprey]

skif's pistol is way better than every other gun ever invented/manufactured

[river chasm]

they're clearly building them different than when degtyarev got his commemorative PM

[hardy rune]

Im in a trader outpost or whatever its called. and next to the bed theres a box for loot. can i keep stuff there or will it be stolen/lost?

[barren ginkgo]

It’s safe and unlimited storage and all boxes across all posts are connected

[hardy rune]

oh cool

[barren ginkgo]

Also… total amount of blood suckers… 23

[hardy rune]

thanks

[barren ginkgo]

23 phuckin blood suckers dude!

[hardy rune]

oh dear...

most i fought at once was like 5

[barren ginkgo]

Then I had to deal with monolith after llonyas house… that was a desperate ass fight guys. Was down to my last mag of pistol ammo scavenging dead bodies mid shootout

[hardy rune]

i hate them

[twilit burrow]

where do you guys think we will be going in the dlc(s)?

new map expansions, completely new map, etc etc...

And uhh... do we think we get major expansions that end up basically being their own games ala Prypyat and Clear Sky? Idk...

[barren ginkgo]

Dude I got gang phucked by like 10 at once and every like 50-100m there were like 3 more

GSC made SURE I had NOOOOO ammo to defend zalisya

[hardy rune]

wtf

[barren ginkgo]

Dude check my previous rant about up top… I ran through like 1100+ rounds of ammo from all combined weapons between monolith and the dam blood suckers

[twilit burrow]

So there is guarenteed 2 Story Expansions... and other dlc? What is on the horizon...

[barren ginkgo]

Don’t even get me started on the med kits. I have zero left used like 50

[karmic jay]

What difficulty are you playing on?

[dull osprey]

probably the ChNPP

Maybe thermal vision even.

I keep seeing vids from ukraine war where they explain how stuff works. Like thermal vision. That it works better than someone thinks.

[simple jackal]

qq, do unique weapons respawn? or issit gonna be random drops after acquiring it?

[dusky pawn]

The blue tinted ones ARE white phosphor

The 'white' part in phosphor doesnt refer to the color of the image it refers to the tubes' technology

Its a screen that uses white phosphor and converts electrons into visible light from what I can tell

[dusky pawn]

Thermals would be very useful esp since it's greatest enemy barely exists in stalker (windows)

[dusky pawn]

They do not respawn

But almost every gun has a unique version

[simple jackal]

thanks @dusky pawn, that sucks. i wish upgrades can be removed.

Is there a excel sheet for guns that can have scopes/red dot

[cobalt fiber]

May as well start a tally chart at this point

[stark crescent]

Maybe we cna lay bets on it

Make it a discord event.

[stark crescent]

They do not. You have one chance to get them. For instance, there is a stalker on the way to rookie village, 2 stalkers are attacked by a group if boars at some silo things. The injured stalker carries a unique spetsnaz ak 74u. You wouldnt know it. There is only one way to get it...

If you dont get it, the stalker will either despawn, or die someplace random. Good luck trying to find it then.

[proven hollow]

I'd like to order one patch please

[feral gust]

same, but no news for now

[dusky pawn]

Did you caliber swap something ?

[dusky pawn]

He has a unique gun ?

[iron wind]

no

[cyan sparrow]

Damm you did hold yourself for 2 min

[proven hollow]

i felt guilty 'cause he was new to the server

[tough bay]

I wish atleast one of the DLCs will be heavily based in the northern most part of the zone, above the CNPP and the Generators because its a part of the Zone we have literally never seen

[proven hollow]

why? they just tried to fix the map a bit making it more realistic, it'd just be swamp and a river

[visual mortar]

no they should make it based in the middle east and you play as an arab man

[tough bay]

I just think it would be interesting to see a completely new and possibly untouched part of the zone, and there are some POIs north of the plant that could make for interesting locations

Would also be a good place to have some X labs lore wise

considering how remote it is

[proven hollow]

it'd make little sense, 'cause as I said, it's nothing but swamp and river

[tough bay]

I see your point but GSC has the capacity and ability to fill what would normally just be swamp lands with a bunch of POIs

Like Zaton

[wicked magnet]

Personally, I’d rather they focus on the existing territories. For example, they could add some events to the Rostok hub, put a Hunter NPC there or smth else

[tough bay]

I mean yeah theres still a lot that could be added to the existing areas I just think it'd be an interesting thing to explore

[spring acorn]

Maybe its time to step away from the keyboard for a bit bud

[dusky pawn]

Hi deathfart

Jokes aside cause your account is old
THERE IS NOTHING NORTH OF CNPP

Big river and completely wild swamps and marshlands that dont even have ROADS

Then belarus border and MORE SWAMPS

What poi do you want ? Swamp no.1 and swamp no.2 we already have two locations based on that area (zaton and swamps) what the f is the obsession of everyone with swamps just go outside and you can see some there is nothing there

Water, straw and birds poi's

[shell flax]

Also considering recent events I don’t think we’ll ever see the Belarus part of the irl zone

[dusky pawn]

The belarus part of the zone is the same sht
Swamp

Belarus is a poor underdeveloped country with like 10 mil people despite being quite large precisely because half the country is a swamp where nothing grows and nothing can be built

The pripet marshes are 270 THOUSAND square km they are literally the largest marshlands in all of europe

And when it comes to population density some areas there come close to wyoming which is the emptiest US state

[tall hawk]

"belarus is a nuclear desert where nothing lives nor exists. All of it is like this."

[dusky pawn]

All of south belarus is yes

The emptiest voivodeship (region) of poland has 60 people per km^2
Almost of belarus' south is below 20 people per km^2

In fact FINLAND is on average more densely populated than that swamp and I mean all of finland on average

[charred nova]

yah but finland is awesome

https://tenor.com/view/omw-on-my-way-coming-driving-winter-gif-5594256148966739955

[dusky pawn]

How hard do I have to nail it in that that swamp is literally just wild marshlands with absurdly small human presence that stretches for hundreds of kilometers

[dusky pawn]

NOKIA WOOD COOL CARTOON AND HATE RUS RAGH FINLAND NO.1

Angry birds too no ?

[charred nova]

yah i didn't even know about angry birds

i thought sweeden did angry birds but no it was finland

[dusky pawn]

Finland just cooks something crazy every ten years

[mystic temple]

I spent a day in Helsinki and all I bought was moomin merch

[dusky pawn]

When in rome bro

When in helsinki you buy moomin merch its that simple

[mystic temple]

Literally

[dusky pawn]

Its like copenhagen and lego

Oslo and bad food

[mystic temple]

They had a little Easter egg hunt thing where if you went to every shop and had them stamp ur card you got a prize at the end

[dusky pawn]

Sweden and going to the vasa museum

[mystic temple]

Or ikea tbh

[dusky pawn]

I think ikea is not sweden exclusive but I guess its mandatory to buy food when in one

[mystic temple]

I only say that because I don’t have one near me - I think 10 hours to the closest one

[dusky pawn]

I have no idea if there is one close to me probably not
I think there are like 2 in all of poland

[tough bay]

Literally just curious as to what a mostly untouched part of the zone would look like, and its not like GSC havent gone out of their way to add POIs that arent present irl

[dusky pawn]

It would look like the great swamps but impossible to traverse the end
Also they can add the pois where it makes sense lmao its why they moved zaton and swamps

The river runs close to the cnpp and the damn city gets its name from it they cant just delete it from lore lol

[tough bay]

Im not talking about extending the map to the bank of the Pripyat river

Shouldve made that more clear

More interested in the smaller locations near the border of the map

[dusky pawn]

Bro but thats whats near the border lmao

[digital lichen]

Hey anyone have any word about their ultimate edition order?

[tough bay]

The river is more than a kilometer away from the two locations Im interested in

[dusky pawn]

locations more like emptiness

#📸┃screens_and_videos here you go there is nothing there only the generators and the part they used to make zaton

its so crazy that i have to explain this when its obvious this is why the cnpp is the narrative center of the 2 games BECAUSE its basically the last stop of the zone

and because of geography it cannot be reached any other way but the south cause lol imagine going through 20km of mutant infested marshland with no roads

I can't seem to find it while doing a google search but has anyone else experienced their ui just disappearing? subtitles, hud, saving icon, loading screens, and pause menu just disappear after playing for more than 10 minutes, sometimes after 3 minutes.

[vast frost]

I still think stalker 2 is bad

little bit more optimised than before but generally soul less

still

[tall hawk]

ragebait

S2 is probably one of the best games ever made

I'd honestly say only maybe Halo Reach is better

[barren ginkgo]

What are we talkin about here

[dusky pawn]

Bait used to be believable

[dusky pawn]

The cnpp being the absolute northernmost thing in the zone and how some people insist the devs must add something 'beyond' even tho no such thing exists and even tho it would dimimish the status of the cnpp/generators as the hardest places to reach

[proven hollow]

yeah, just give me a DLC in downtown London, and I don't mean that a zone popped up there, just straight up London, roughly as dangerous as the zone as it is tbh

[cobalt fiber]

Londons soft compared to Liverpool

Tbh all southerners are soft arses

[copper radish]

is it worth spending money on the exo that I could buy from the Duty merchant?

[dusky pawn]

Hell nah

[marsh wren]

Do you guys think playing on PS5 would ruin the game experience?

[cyan sparrow]

Did you played on pc?

[marsh wren]

No, I only watched videos about the game. Most of them play on PC

[marble gyro]

25 more days until the new resident evil comes out

[cyan sparrow]

Then shouldn’t ruin the experience.

[marble gyro]

Depends on your perspective, of "What a ruined experience is"

[marsh wren]

I do not know, I have just wanted to play this game since launch, but my PC is pretty bad, so I bought a PS5 to play the games I like that do not run on my PC. I was just afraid that the PC experience would be very different from the console one

[marble gyro]

Then nah, ps5 runs at a more decent stable rate, enough to keep you entertained in the zone, my only complaint is that the sensitivity is too slow so you can't make snappy quick decisions in combat as much

Have to play it like metro

[marsh wren]

But isn’t this sensitivity thing just about changing it in the settings?

[marble gyro]

I have everything maxed, even the custom settings are tweaked for a linear aim feeling, still not fast and snappy

Like literally, play metro series on max sensitivity, it's the exact same

Talking about Controller sensitivity btw

[cyan sparrow]

Controller throwing things through the wall

[marble gyro]

if anything, that performance improved 😆
at first your gpu was pushed almost to its limit, 95% there --- then later it's only pushed to 70% of its limit 🙂 it doesn't have to work as hard

Those halls are well worn by the time of stalker 2

[marble gyro]

Oh so like I'm dumb, but I figured out that you can shoot through walls with a pmm

Bullets can travel through concrete cover

So if people get shot through walls, is because it's an intended mechanic, as for the polters, yeah no that's a glitch that they can phase objects through

i hope better ballistics gets that fixed with the new system with material pen

cause a 9x18

[marble gyro]

All we have here is a firehouse sub and quiznos

[main jewel]

eats you

your loss bro

[marble gyro]

The cool thing is, that the firehouse sub is local to our area and all profits go to the fire department

[main jewel]

im so lazy

[marble gyro]

They make Hella bomb Chicken BBQ subs

[main jewel]

Sure I'll buy you a sub

[charred nova]

[main jewel]

[marble gyro]

Don't mention it

[main jewel]

[main jewel]

its like dayz

[marble gyro]

Thanks for the offer, but I'm kinda chocolate out, had like 8 Twix bars earlier

[main jewel]

guys indontbwant these m&ms can someone take them

[marble gyro]

Melt the chocolate into like a bowl and dip some fruit in them

Your own personal fondue

[charred nova]

i want them

[main jewel]

of course you do

take them

[charred nova]

what ever do you mean

[main jewel]

they are looking at me

[main jewel]

claymore

[marble gyro]

Speaking of a claymore, they should add them in stalker for us to use

[main jewel]

TRUE

but

actually

why

whwn would they be useful

gsc should actually add smokes and flashbangs

since the ward uses them

[marble gyro]

Well, in my games mostly all the encounters I were in, all had flanking NPCs, they would sprint behind my cover and just blast me, now if I was allowed to lay down traps like claymores I would prevent exo suit npcs having a brain and think twice from pushing me so much

[main jewel]

true

i think that would work better indoors

gsc should add like a ipsf vehicle that slowly roams around on the roads

and stops and turns and goes around road anomalies

that would be tuff

imagine getting supplies from that

or a ipsf heli you can shoot down

[marble gyro]

I just want them to add npcs that are like artifact hunting or something

Also MORE ARTIFACTS IN ANOMALY FIELDS

Like a chance for 2 or 3 to spawn at once, so that way we can make more money

[main jewel]

true

call of pripyat with its 3 artifacts

[marble gyro]

It's addictive, regardless if half the time you get were crap artifacts

[main jewel]

true

[marble gyro]

Money is money and gear maintenance was expensive

[main jewel]

gsc should realistically up the selling value of things

cause good lord

they are way to low

like some things arent even worth selling they are so low

artifacts should be way way up

[marble gyro]

Ikr???? Artifacts in COP for like crap ones were like 3k at most and common would be close to 10k

And 9x18 rounds were 7 stack

Plus medkits?? Ain't no 147 koupons worth, in COP were like 45 or 50 for basic ones

[main jewel]

yess

mythical artifacts in stalker 2

basically are priced like

a bag of gummy bears

cause why is a small bag of gummy bears 4 bucks

[marble gyro]

Because gummy bears are delicious

But Artifacts being worth that much when they are essentially life altering things is wild, like okay, to balance this, if Artifacts are priced the way they are, then do this instead, make Emmissions less rare and more frequent

Or just make 3 of them spawn

So instead of getting like 1k per run, we should be getting a chance to get more than 1k

3 artifacts 3k, I say thats a fair trade, higher rarities 10k x3

Good trade or could be shit, I want to feel rewarded when farming for artifacts

Or at least, have a feeling of "I tried but next time ill get something better"

[main jewel]

technically emissions show up in stalker 2 after like a full day or full 2 day cycle

without the use of guides and sleeping

[marble gyro]

Really? Huh never noticed because I never get a notification in my face saying "STALKER AN EMISSION HAS PASSED"

Or something like that

[main jewel]

well

gsc decided toooooo

remove that feature

and turn the pda into a shit pad

basically just a ipda

i wish everyone had the old pda’s

why did gsc have to switch

how would a switch in the real zone like that work

cause thats hundreds of devices that have to be reconnected to eachother

n stuff

[marble gyro]

At this point seamless traveling, we are not ready yet, just give us back loading zones or something

Maybe we'll have more assets loaded in

[main jewel]

i just want old pda’s, better prices, more guns and optics but oxide has that taken care of

[main jewel]

maybe we can actually get npcs to render farther

[marble gyro]

Gun quantity is okay imo, but attachments I agree with you there

Like to be real, I only use like 4 guns at most in my entire playthrough

[main jewel]

oh my lord tho oxide is cooking

[dull osprey]

distant horizons by shay?

[main jewel]

yhe soviet grau index scopes are gunna be amazing

[main jewel]

im not using it

[marble gyro]

Console players do not have the luxury for better mods

[main jewel]

well we do have it

all the way up too 200m

[dull osprey]

yea..

[main jewel]

bu

but

like

[dull osprey]

250m methinks

[main jewel]

yea

[dull osprey]

foliage covers everything though

[main jewel]

but performance is an issue

[dull osprey]

no high places to jump bandits

[dull osprey]

im running it fine :3

[main jewel]

i wish foliage covered lines of sight

[main jewel]

oh okar

[marble gyro]

It should, and it sometimes does work

[main jewel]

ACTUALLY

issue

depending on the version

150

200

or uh 170??

250

saving zalissya would be hard if not impossible with 250

[marble gyro]

Like when I hide in a bush enemies don't have a line of sight BUT, for some reason they always know my last known location regardless if I flank

[light rover]

New game + when 😢

[main jewel]

never

[marble gyro]

We don't need a NG+, just an incentive to have an actual endgame free roam

[dull osprey]

just like helldivers!!

[main jewel]

the story doesnt allow a newgame plus to effectively exist

[main jewel]

this

[light rover]

Actually I agree, more endgame free roam before that "Can't Turn back" quest

[main jewel]

we could have a free roam separate from the story

[marble gyro]

Well hell divers, you are always known on your position but that's why you have an arsenal to take down armies with 4 people

[main jewel]

some story parts after the point of no return i believe you can just walk away from the mission

[light rover]

End game free roam would be amazing especially once multiplayer is implemented. I just wonder how they are going to do it

[dull osprey]

not with the stealth divers!

[main jewel]

like assaulting the red fortress or sittijg around kaimanovs area

you can theoretically just leave

[main jewel]

gsc isnt interested in a coop

its gunna be like an arena game

which sounds actually fire

[marble gyro]

But again, there is no like, wow factor in exploring because nothing really happens as much after the Lesser zone area, yeah you'll fight mutants, but you don't have that feeling of "I feel like underpowered for this situation" so you just mow everything down

[light rover]

Or teleport mod iI would assume. I've already completed the game with the Ward ending (don't hate me). I just want to be out there exploring more and stuff.

Ohhh really? So multiplayer but like....idk Tarkov arena?

[dull osprey]

tyrant!!

[main jewel]

probably

[dull osprey]

rostok arena

[main jewel]

we are gujna have biggr areas than the arenas in the trilogy

[marble gyro]

You know what else we need?

[main jewel]

what

[light rover]

I can't wait for GSC to give us an update on where they are at right now

[main jewel]

shut your bitch ass up troy

jus kidin

[marble gyro]

Traveling NPCs with leaders that allow us to buddy travel with them to their next location, or hitch a journey to your desired location for a price

[main jewel]

true

do you use oxaaaa

ritmalsoorrp

[main jewel]

maybe true

[light rover]

HELL YEAH I DO...but localizations are broken for it rn because the mod just updated

[marble gyro]

Like COP

[main jewel]

you have pc right

i have xbox

eeuuuuhh

how fun and amazing is it

[light rover]

Yep PC master race

[main jewel]

ifnur on pc

[marble gyro]

I'm on playstation

Don't need mods for my adhd ass to enjoy something

[main jewel]

ive played vanilla stalker 2 so much

i cant touch it again

its too bornf

[light rover]

So, O.X.A is REALLY nice because it adds a lot of stuff in there, I use the standard version, not the prototype version (because it's in the name, it's a prototype and very poorly optimized, it's meant for public testing and feedback). Since the mod recently updated though, it has broken a lot of translation localizations in the sense that if you scroll over an item, it might say OXA_brokensilencer_XXXX_XXX. It is frustrating, but not as frustrating as seeing an item that says OXAOLDASSET with a giant red X going across it in the inventory. Not only that, but outside of inventory it, the physical object mod (o_mod) is literally a lightweight military backpack in olive/forest/green beret uniform camo

[main jewel]

bland

[marble gyro]

Hell I still play Oblivion and skyrim vanilla

[main jewel]

i use oxa standard roo on xbox

[light rover]

Skyrim modded is so much fun kekek

[main jewel]

all the standard stuff is on consile

[marble gyro]

Modded skyrim looks fun, but I'm more of a modded fallout person, like tale of two wastelands

[light rover]

Hopefully modding with console becomes a lot more versatile because using mods like PRZ + ReLook on PC version of Stalker 2 makes the game look like what it could have been if they had more time to develop it and optimize it (which they ARE currently doing and I am so proud of them for it)

[main jewel]

im gunna watch the new game with dave stalker video

cause it says cut content explained

[marble gyro]

I saw that this morning

[main jewel]

pgo 7v pls come back

[light rover]

Oh shiz I should do that too

Does console have it's own version of frame gen btw, Lexa? Even vanilla Stalker 2 is very resource demanding, like turning your console into ignited aluminum/magnesium coils kind of fire XD

[marble gyro]

Never done that once

And also no frame gen on base ps5

So that would mean as well xbox does not have frame gen either

[light rover]

Darn, I hope the game is as stable as can be for you guys

[marble gyro]

It's pretty stable

You only see like frame dips that are noticeable at like trade hubs

Other than that on the field it runs pretty well

[light rover]

Oh yeah, the trade hubs are pretty bad and that's just because of how many entities there are there I would think

[marble gyro]

Yeah, other than that it's pretty solid

[marble gyro]

Hmm.....more revolvers in stalker would be nice

[light rover]

making them stronger would be nice too. But in generally more weapon, more gear, new mutants would also be welcome as DLC are released or with community updates
