The moment a game company lashes out at gamers, people wine and game devs lose reps and most likely layoffs begin to happen
Exactly
Also likewise I think retail employees should have a day where their store turns into an all out brawl
I support and encourage this
The Last thing you would want, is gsc to become the next ubisoft and lose stock shares over the commotion
Then any hope of stalker to be finished or a new game to come out, would not be a possibility
yes im sure if mol1t was allowed to he would come and drop truth nukes on chatters from time to time
i wish this was reality it would be so funny
I wonder what are his opinions on krezzin

Not in this day and age
Satisfactory upgraded engine to 5.6.1
Everyone can shit talk and cause fights, no one would win, it would be mindless banter back and forth
me talking about how much i hate people on a different shift ive never even met
I met night shift once at Walmart and I’m ninety percent certain they run on caffeine, nicotine & pure unadulterated spite
molly never cooked me butter chicken
yah when he comes back we gotta ask him to make us dinner
May God have mercy on my soul, I just encountered a chimera after fighting a bunch of vermin...
He would say you bunch are yappers in here
And me with a suit that has psi protection but no armor and almost no healing items
saw new announcement notification
instant boner
no patch news
peepee deflated
Time to play some oblivion
you encountered a methed up homeless man after fighting a bunch of fentanyl addicts?
@proven hollow thank you that thing was actually there
I'm on the Astra per aspera mission. I ran into a fentanyl dealer and his junkies, and I fought them. I also found more wild boars, more psi dogs, more rats, meat, etc., all with terrible visibility, and now I've encountered a chimera.
I don't understand how I'm going to get through this
there is a pseudogiant in the area too if you want one :333
Saw a bunch of loners go up against Pseudodogs today, they won for once
Shot the right dog
No pls.
i just found a hornhead that got beaten by a single bloodsucker
and also (I think because of their size or something) bloodsuckers struggle immensely against fleshes which is funny to watch
then do not go to a weird secluded island in the eastern part of the map thats bridged by a ship
I am in the north in the swamp area.
Everybody gets one
always am
Game is on sale during the holidays, and again now, but still no upgrade to ultimate editions...
The ultimate edition upgrade sale was last month and I missed it 

Wish they would do both at the same time
Fever subsided
I cast bubble guts 
Endless dry cough
Today had included a lot of big tires
i bought my self a milwaukee m12
The little battery ratchets?
The 3/8ths?
nah 1/2 in drive
Yippee
Oh, I have the m18
the claim looks too good to be true but torque test channel tested them to the max and they do indeed meet the claims
I dont think anyone here has one of those
im very excited
im surprised i have a fairly sizable DeWalt impact and the m12 is 2.5x more powerful and smaller
Granted most of the guys here use snap on with a mix of Milwaukee
I just have my 1/2" M18 for buzzing lug nuts
snap on air tools milwaukee electric tools
Pretty much
gotta take advantage of my up to 70 percent off snap on discount
while i can
if you want something let me know i might be able to hook you up
i dropped 500 bones on the m12 1/2 with 2 extra big batteries
Then an aircat 1150 impact if I need something with more power
yah those air impacts are nuts
But if a lugnut is really stuck you just put a breaker-bar on the lugnut and start jumping
and pray you don't hear the snap

If its a good breaker bar it won't snap
i mean the fastner not the breaker bar
you'd be hard pressed to break even a harbor freight bar
Haven't broke anything yet
Well, other then a bunch of stupid plastic pieces manufacturers love using
well yah those always break
@ruby gale oh btw speaking of you sounded like you had used electric ratchets before
what is your opinion on them?
I have a milwaukee m12 i use for taking tpms off/on, uncle has a few snap on ratchets he seems to like
They can take a bit of force too if it won't spin it off so you can still use it like a normal ratchet until it does
what size would say is most worth it?
Like 1/4" or 3/8th, or length of the ratchet?
yah like what head size
3/8th probably, 1/4" is nice but im iffy on adaptors
I've had a few too many break on me so I just try to use the right size head normally
hmm ok
Electric? that must be awful compared to compressed air
i mean does it need to be amazing
its just for putting on fasteners
but like really fast
It does when you need to break a bolt after some one put 200lbs of torque off the chevy
well you use the impact gun then
the mission down below for the foundation in prypoat
is that like story ending? says point of no return. not sure if i sshould hold off on doing it
i dont want spoilers just like... heads up ig
id think anyway
I mean if those bolts are rusted that impacts is just gonna snap it
Seen it a couple of times
Yes it is
hmmmmmm i guess you might be right then since even the best compact size electric ratchets can only do like 70 Foot pounds
Yeah the said example happened to the 2011 F150 when one of the exhaust bolts snapped from the impact
i mean would you not in a case like this use a braker bar instead
i have 3 unexlpored areas yet
like i havent visited the power plant
or even got the guass gun
It wouldn't help it's so rusted under since we got it in Florida in 2015
Nice
Saddest part is the girl only has over 120k miles on it
so perhaps im not following how is the air ratchet more gentle compared to the breaker bar?
Well maybe I am confusing it for like an actual pry bar
im talking about this
When in doubt: blow torch
just mega stick
Oh that is one thing my father does not have in his tool box my boss broke 3 of those from his dodge
my safety instructor showed us this electric nut heater and that thing is even crazier than a torch
man how the heck you break a breaker bar
Dodge I guess
bro found the worlds worst breaker bar fr
I mean if I remember correctly he got em from The Freight
Cram eighty pounds of tannerite in the engine then fire a 12 gauge slug at it
Or Harbor Freight
oh fair
i mean ive not yet broken my 24in harbor freight breaker bar but
it does not feel like the strongest thing ever
Oh yeah no remember snap on makes their stuff in Vietnam harbor is whatever
not always
Fair even though that's like almost everything on my fathers tool aside from the MatCo
Air hammer and torch
It cant fight if its liquid
grrr
After sleeping for another 3 and half hours, I feel like myself again
24hr bugs suck
anyone else chewing on their toenails rn
I’m going to sell your ram to Microsoft
the good snap on tools are typically the ones actually made in USA
as that means they are usually an original design and not just some generic pattern you can buy from some other brand for a fraction of the cost
im the king sped
nooooo
yesssssss
whos the general then
general rahmi
howevrr you spell the last name word whatevrv
but he has general in his name
Im telling rahmi you think hes sped
.
just cause your running a sped army doesnt mean your sped
look at sped teachers
they arent sped
It takes one to lead many
Because they know what its like to be sped
Takes one to know one
i dont think the sped teachers in my highschool back then knew what it was like from heart either
i mean bro one of them was just hank hill and sighed alot
he looked like a human hank hill
hes like the normalest guy ever
sad tired
wants to go home
Id be sad too if I had hank hill butt
negative ass
Tragic
Wtf is this convo
I definitely got no hank hill ass
I'm too tired to give beatings
For some reason I feel like ive done cocaine
Just came off a 102 fever and cold sweat night, now I have a lingering cough
Knew itd happen
im actually mad that snap ons silly special box end tech
actually works
alright bro
thats too much
Just hope I don't lose my taste again....ughh can't go a full day without tasting food
was some character shaking there ass
Still hit 38 with it
It's basically the Among us fat twerk meme but modified to fit whatever Vtuber homie got the sticker from
the most chud description ever
It pretty much is
I what did I just open discord to just read, wth lol
why are you so vtuber
I dont watch the ones that sound like 12 year olds either
Those are mostly mainstream ones anyway, which are boring
simply sips Hi-C juicebox this is some conversation
yah we like to beat the anti fun allegations around here some times branch out in our discussion topics
Idk, been pretty dead here lately, hopefully upcoming updates liven the place up
true
most of the regulars don't even come to complain anymore
its so stale these days
Well from the Q&A stuff I read in this discord, updates are coming 
Vtubers are cringe
Been watching a Winnie the pooh horror film sequel review, apparently it was garbage
No
But some of my closest friends are vtubers, so I have to give them moral support
does that mean you don't have real friends
Oh Blood and honey? That one is pretty rad
Most yes, but not all, just how the whole youtube/twitch scene is
I dont have friends I have brothers and sisters
damn friends with benefits must be rough for you then

Right...
Mostly I have acquaintances
Or people I tolerate enough
FWBs is a thing of a highschool phase, never liked it before, don't like it now
Vauban got a heirloom skin in warframe, looks pretty cool
take everything too seriously
I ermmm....forgot how to laugh today
Apologies, for the vernacular I present
I'm just going to go back to sleep
was making a joke at the fact you said you don't have friends you have brothers and sister implying if you had friends they would actually be your sisters and brothers making friends with benefits pretty rough
RUINING THE JOKE MAKING ME EXPLAIN IT
XeSS + Framegen for over 175 fps in towns with lots of npcs
Gawd Dayum this is smoooth
bro mentioned frame gen make fun of users
eh? Are you a program? I don't understand
Understood, flooding Michigan
no way are they popular
1k followers at most, pretty small, but very chill
One has a mouth on her, literally you could think she is raised by a sailor
And the other she is just so good with communicating and interacting with her viewers
Sterlingcoffin and Sammichplays are their names

sorry im feeling a little edgy today
Sentence to death by death
Man quickly posted this like he felt the sniper lining up
lmao
or would the sugar daddy ferment you
spits out Hi-C ALRIGHT then this chat got spicy fast
fair
what is hi-c

kiddy juice
oh
its when parents dont want you to have soda at a fast food place
as a kid
i heard abiut it alot from my amercuan friends
Was the BEST shit ever when I was a kid, it was the contender for Kool-aid in pre 2015
its usually powerade or hi c
You in the UK?
well your a bun cause now theres red bull
I drink Ghost energy
i wasnt quite a “kid” when i moved to america from germany with my family
lore drop
i just drank water cause i was scared americans put a bunch of lead in their food
UK? Lexa is more murican then most of us here
Ah from Germany. It do be on my bucket list to visit one day. Need to see that Berlin Wall
and drinks
I LOVE LEAD
Reason: Bad word usage
my parents told me that but they didnt know either
GET WOLFED NERD
WTH lmao you thought lead was put in water in America hahaha
NNANNANNANANA BOOOBOOO
well they thought water was the cleanest thing
until they learned lead was in water and not in everything else
Mmm lead
then i drank bottled tea
Just a million preservatives and sweeteners
I mean over here we have a well, and there has been traces of lead in it
Maybe during the 1980's when our pipes were not the greatest lol
is thus why your built like this
our pipes still arent the greatest
That's how I'm built
I got lead poisoning once while working at a range bc I was around it so much
Well it's why you attach a filter to your tap water at your sink or use your fridge to dispense water. It has filters lol
do you need to wake up wondering if you should bring a medkit to work
if you dont get that reference then womp
if you do
im sorry
it only joke
Well now I want to understand


He needs to wake up every morning wondering if he needs a TdAP booster shot LMAO
Luckily I don’t work there anymore
Is Tdap another term for T Virus?
Good night
Tetanus
Tomorrow is going to rain
You really want me to go full pharmacist on you on this one?
R/Woosh

Dunno what kind of concoction my brother gave me just now, but all I know is that it had tequila and it cured my cough
He just gave it to me, boiling hot and said "Drink"
Reason: Bad word usage
god damn it >.>
Oof
i am alive
papa did you find the milk yet ;-;
Guys what do the npcs keep talking about when they speak of an emission cuz I’ve been playing and nothing has happened
Or maybe it has but idk what happens in an emission
the wind
emission = big red sky and deth
K
Think my game is glitched, emissions have not happened since the first scripted emission
Violently shaking because 0 koupons
Hit F9
me seeing a new stalker announcement
it being about women and science
congrats scientific women
if we didnt have yall
i probably wouldnt have half the things i got
other note
patch news when, i cant keep looking at game with daves videos giving myself hopium instead of truthium 
Late February
Wish we could pay the Mercs off in Banzai’s group quest.
-# I have +2M coupons.
Patch won't be next week, it will be the week after that.
I don't think you can as his group is being hunt by some other force, one that pose more of a thread, one that can't be deal with.
+2 weeks
I know but I wish I can pay those guys off
Same here but your coupons cannot save them, they know too much.
A Stalker could wish
Question for those who understand game files.
Is it possible to extract the weapon review animation that appears when entering the arena and use it at any time?
I thought that there wasn't enough review in Stalker and remembered that the implementation already exists.
Again, Late February
Next week is still mid February
They said so(GSC I mean)?
werent they promised lifes on the continent or something like that ?
Been a minute
Testing hasn't even started. And that process goes for several weeks usually. I don't think we will see the update in February tbh
Does anyone know where Immersive Mode's FOV is set in the config files?
Can they start testing without making it public
Ofcourse they can lol
What they are doing internally is none of our concern, only what they release to the public
all testing so far has been done without making it public
why chat so dead tho
Dead game
A-life game
Yes
No
Boring stalker theories:
Lebedev joined C-Conciousness
Real sh* theories:
Lebedev is the dark stalker.
What is Dark Stalker
Dark stalker is a myth a about an npc
Level thing like "the princess" Creepypasta or that kind of stuff
True atomic heart is worse than stalker 2
oooooo right on
Never played it, Heard and seen footage but was never interested
I’ve heard it’s aggressively mid
As a atomic heart enjoyer
Indeed it hurts damn bad what has become
Cuz it seemed way greater if it chosed a more horror fps alike and not some weird crazy trip
But we all agree ost is 🔥
Still haunts me all the alpha footage
It looked so promising
Only to end knowed by the typical dual booba bot

No crime worse than that for a vid gamed
Yah
Could've been worse, could've been Highguard
lol
A guy like strelok can farm more aura in less of 30 seconds that all screemtime of p-3 in atomic heart
Strelok aiming skiff while looked so kind of angered and triggered
ooooph
Ouch
Relooted was made with a similar mind set to dust born

I can’t even explain why relooted is such an ironic game because it’s a banned topic
extraction shooter? or hero shooter
Clearly it was not a very good shooter 😄
Yea when i played Atomic Heart it also just felt very... mid, no better way to describe it tbh
Atomic heart is a great demo for find what songs You like the most of it and never play it ever again
I never really finished it i think didn't even get that far tbh, it just didn't grab me
Thats why i don't stop saying
They shouldnt lay off the creepy/horror elements and take it seriously
Not the weird trip they turned it on
I literally was thinking
"What about if Even in the sequel after all this mess they add something like some kind of NATO coming to take over or Even point out americans are in this world?
Putting an american side with the ruskie to Made dynamic-
Oh no, they really gonna still go with the weird booba bots."
god i'm glad communism isn't a thing in The Netherlands
I thought the lore was America lost
And was just gone
I was just thinking to handle it, they Made some kind of NATO
(Just as a theory)
Like unite with other nations to keep strong
And maybe for a sequel they could appear to take over after all the mess in first Game
But that was being hopeful they would learn and move on with cooking right
And as i said...
They just stick with booba bots.
I'm not forgiving that, ever.
nothing wrong with booba bots, the batteries need to go somewhere
If your world cant offer more than some clankers
Then your world was doomed from the start.
fair, it definitely should be more than that
Yah it’s kinda funny they tried to move away from the robots
And once that didn’t work
They just brought the robots back
Literally all the alpha footage gave us the impression or idea that the Game would be like
A project went wrong
You are part of a clean-up crew ready to fix this mess
But the only thing Will You meet, is face to face with the horrors of playing like a god
i think i played it on xbox gamepass, which was probably for the best
They really moved on from that to
"Hey look this steel badies 🤓"
I cant be mad on mechanics ore gameplay cuz
Hell development
But zamn
The only most important thing they shouldnt messed up
And they did
but i feel in general there's a lot of aggresively mediocre games out there these days
5/10
Better Buy GTA 4
Streloks from the zone, what yall going to gift this valentines day

to strelok?
To yall beloved bloodsucker
Atomic Heart was shit
I swear Atomic Heart is the best looking worst game ever
Nailed the atmosphere and graphics, everything else was so sh!tty executed, it's unbelievable
yup
Cant even sprint and heal/reload
the developers,of this game are dumb.
Can't sprint because you're too packed?
Cant sprint and reload/heal at the same time.
Weight is 72kg out of 160kg
Well, true, but it kinda makes sense
Get some distance between you and the chimera, then quickly heal
Lemme,run 900m, i will be back soon
Good luck
The ost! Dont forget the ost!

What is the actual backtory of strelok besides the zone backstory he has?
I mean, the person
He had ever family?
He was a vet? Just a civilian?
Three line rifle with high quality bullets and a few shots with the spa14
They are pretty easy if you can manage your stamina
7.62 by 54r converted dnipro, took less than a full mag 
whats going on with S 2? kinda been radio silence recently. but i get it. its the new year
They stopped support to focus all teams on the development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 3: Lung of Chornobyl
i can tell you right now what ever is cooking is probably gonna be a major let down
it was last year
doubt this will be different
the real update wont likely drop till april
1.9 patch notes:
*added anime girl skins for mutants
LoC
😂
anime girl snorks?
No no no, Lung of Chornobyl is DLC. It's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 3: Kidney Stones
What’s the purpose of the survey?
im in heaven right now, fighting 4 blood suckers , 3 snorks with 2 freedom bros in the mix
that forum has nothing to do with this server please take it else where
Stalker 3: The aftermath of intense, long lasting radioactive poisoning
GSC will come out with a roblox game called lead eating simulator
Actually
There is a roblox game being develop
That is literally OLR 2.5
Out of all the things to port, I think its interesting that olr 2.5 was the final decision
Sadly, most of the team behind it (if not all of them) are actual neo-nazis
i mean most of the most famous games on roblox are just copies of other paid games
its just rare that the companies behind said games do anything about it
Stalker 3: Alife implemented.
Yeah, but its surprising olr got ported lol. I was expecting like, idk, Anomaly? CoC? Lost Alpha? Smth smth
like the only 2 examples are pokemon company and facepunch actually going after roblox devs for copying their games
facepunch is ruthless apparently
They've made Rust, so it figures 
yah like one guy tried making 3 different progressively different rust clones
and none of them made it more than a month
Instant CnD
they were crazy popular too by roblox standards back in the day
Strange because Facepunch don't own the rights to the survival game concept
They didn't even come up with it themselves
they own the rights to rust
which the games were clearly heavily inspired by
and by heavily i mean copied many iconic rust mechanics 1 to 1
Inspired by is not an IP infringement, otherwise Battlebit, Tarkov and a whole ass bunch of other games would have been shut down
it had the same building system as rust the same research system as rust similar visuals to rust even the same up keep mechanics

bro just wanted to make roblox rust
and facepuch wasn't gonna let that happen
So a lack of legal distiction
Kinda short sighted, though I still don't know how Battlebit got away with it, because thats hardly distinct from Battlefield
so many elements of rust were basically carbon copied into the game it was not really possible to defend it as just inspired
they even copied locals from rust almost 1 to 1
DayZ was an ARMA2 mod, I don't think Rust originated with ARMA
Right so it was a literal clone then
more or less yes
Again, very short sighted
the second time they tried the only thing they really changed up keep system
Though if it was made by some kid who didnt know any better, i guess its udnerstandable
everything else they just kept the same and hoped facepunch wouldn't come back lol
oh and also made the map a desert now
I mean at that point why not just.. uhh.. play Rust 😄
apparently the actualy devs did heavily
oh rust was heavily inspired by the mod
which is funny
but the reason roblox copy games are so popular is A they are free and B they will run on a way weaker pc normally
Most survival games were inspired at least in part by DayZ, even the extraction shooter genre has large amounts of gameplay elements inspired by it
Makes sense I guess
like if your a 12 year old kid your way more likely to get into the roblox version of rust than real rust
the rust at thr time also pretty much copied the assets of alot if the stuff too
Having played Rust and experienced its "community" I can tell you without a single doubt, that is not the case 😄
i wonder when rust became like rust looking
i was enslaved and called a n word multiple times
Yeah, it did start off looking very much like ARMA/DayZ
well if all you got is like a chrome book then yah your gonna be on roblox rust
Yeah, its got an incredibly... interesting community
bro copy my paper but don’t make it obvious ahh
back when i was a kid what we did was play apocalypse rising on roblox squad up with randoms then ask if they wanted to skype
Well, DayZ was kinda the OG survival experience, makes sense its DNA is wrapped up in everything survival/extraction based since
surprisingly most people were pretty chill back then
(its still the best one too)
for context apocalypse rising was heavily inspired by dayz mod
basically less hardcore dayz
and no long term base building
a base lasted basically as long as you had someone to watch it
once you all logged off it was good as gone
Kinda the same deal as DayZ then lul
Reason: Bad word usage
basically how base building worked is anyone who had found a building tool could easily just break into your base with zero resistance
beyond maybe a land mine or two
so if you wanted to try and stash loot somewhere and come back for it at a later time you had to hide it somewhere
The only reason bases last longer than a day in DayZ is because of modded base building tbf, similar story, find some explosives and its basically free
Burying stashes is always the safer bet, and they dont even last that long because the server removes them after a time
Seems very rudimentary
oh it was
lol
but it was what was kinda super addicting about it in a way because the gameplay loop in many ways was the perfect length
if you were skilled enough you could kill someone with a maxed out kit with something as common as a M1 garand
they also did not have any one shot kill weapons either
everything was at best 3 head shots to kill so you could not just instantly die to someone you never even saw
like it was such an interesting game because in the years since it became clear the devs did not really understand why this formula they had patch worked together in the late 2000s worked as well as it did
i wonder if they will sell DLCs separately or you'll have to upgrade to ultimate to get them
they obviously will sell them seperately thats the point of the ultimate edition
yeah, and ultimate is probably be cheaper vs buying them separately
and it says 2 confirmed DLCs and any future ones, so if they plan a third one you will get it as well
hello, how do I get the deluxe and ultimate items? I already completed A Needle in a Haystack, but the quest Seek and You Shall Find did not start, and the journalist USB is not in my stash.
pow
Bang
keep doing missions till it pops, think it pops once you give senors or something.
sensors*
or after the sphere mission
I’ve already completed these two missions, and I’m currently at the garbage
Do you have the mission in your pda?
nope it's not on the pda, I only got 1 mission
crazy, a usb stick should be in your stash near the top, if its not then i most likely bugged
damn, i guess new save game then 
why does xray engine mess with windows explorer 😭
you can clear everything in lesser zone in 5 hrs , even less on lower difficulty
Womens of the server
Would You date the strelok?
I see maybe i'll do that I started on veteran difficulty lol
JESUS, this game is just !@#^ I fired RPG rocket at chimera in arena and guess what?? The ROCKET entered quantum tunnel and disappeared! And then I got torn apart from 2 meters by the mutant
The rpg sucks anyway, would've died regardless
seriously though, this game glitches in the most meme kind of way. I was on the arena, didn't know Miklucha provided me confetti rocket. Or maybe the chimera used scroll of town portal
Morning
Need a mod to make explosives even remotely worthwhile for the most part
Skill issue
and now Tyrant has shot me through concrete pillar
can't this game chill with glitches for 5 minutes???
If I shoot a 40mm into a room of bandits wearing nothing more than leather coats and bally's, I expect them to be turned into red mist, not to grunt and otherwise be unscathed
Not a glitch, actual intended, you can do the same
I do like how GSC made that fight, you can get him to screw himself over an thats just very funny
excuse me?? since when concrete is made of styrofoam?
W quote
Piercing values are all over the place atm, was proven in a video, you can pierce that same concrete via a percentage chance with skifs pistol
lmao
sounds like stalker to me
in Anomaly I'm using an AKS right now and I've shot through railings in Agroprunder more than once
Pretty much
Thus, still leads to a skill issue
I chose TOZ-34 
TOZ makes that fight way easier
i pretty much solved how to beat any gunfight in anomaly, all you need is a shit ton of ammo and a silenced gun
trying to do it with the ak is almost impossible
shoot and scoot from cover with a ghillie suit
you have to hit mostly head shots to win
why would you tho, youll have to go too close now
I chose the Rhino 
you gotta get close anyways cus if you don't get enough headshots you just lose
not really ehe. I killed him with a knife
i did this before exo dudes got nerfed to be fair
where it would take almost every single ak bullet to kill him
and most of them had to be head shots
I don't know I just like suffering, I blew up all 4 propane tanks and that fool still sent me back to loading screen 5 times due to his magic bullets
Skill, issue, git gud
and now the door to arena glitched and is constantly screeching
I have the better ballistics redux and even that doesn't do anything for the rpg, must not be touched in it
rpg is just a nerf gun
Pretty much, better off chucking grenades
lore accurate stalker 2 rpg
Rpg works for me, unlike the trilogy aka shadow of chernobyl it takes 3 shots from rockets to kill a pseudo giant in stalker 2 and not 5
Don't they have double organs?
they only got like one head
That has a thickness of concrete
still just meat
Rpg7 is also just used for armor piercing and does not have shrapnel, a focused explosive charge
doubt it would matter much
So without you shooting at something like a tank, it's effective against flesh, but not as much
I don't know tbh, I'm using OXA Prototype an I'm not even sure that touches it, though it seems to effect all other explosives. I've just not bothered picking up an RPG to test it
you'd not survive
It's not like the movies how they exaggerate it
im aware it would blast a hole straight through you more or less
If you got shot by an RPG round it would punch a giant f*ckoff hole through your stomach and explode on the wall behind you, you'd almost certainly not be walking away
It's Nerf or nothin
Yeah
Screw it, im gonna spawn one in with the console an see if its changed by OXA in a bit
Give me a fitting target to shoot it at, chat
exo suit guy
Alright, easy enough to find
Rockets works on humanoids, mutants have extra resistances
In vanilla yes, not in OXA
They're treated as fleshbags
Expansive ammo utterly mulches them, as you would expect
Though the downside is, its also expensive so on Master mode, you're hard pushed to get it in any large quantity
Look up what an RPG does to a ballistic dummy
You’d still explode
After essentially being impaled by the rocket 
Not really more expensive, as the price values are the same in veteran
It's just expensive in general
look my problem was that I fired rocket and instead of explosion it just disappeared
More expensive in relative terms, becuse you invariably have less money
Nah, items sell the same, artifacts are still 1800 a piece(commons), 9x18 still sells for 0, on master I have about 200k from selling nothing but yellow weapons and pristines
The economy in general sucks
But you still get a lot of money
Maybe OXA adjusts it some then, because im not making anywhere near the same income I was prior to Master mode
Though I am also taking less risks due to playing perma-death, so there is that
Yeah that's a factor definitely, less artifact hunting
can polters throw keys?
Not even just artifacts, just not going into overly dangerous areas and not taking every fight if I don't have terrain advantages
I refuse to use high-tier armour because it very easily makes the game a joke, even on Master with harsher balancing, if I get shot, I want to know about it because that makes the gameplay more engaing
Damage values from enemies are a bit scuffed atm
They can one shot you at random
Even with OXA
Again, Prototype rebalances a lot of stuff anyway, both the player and the AI deal more damage than they otherwise would
An like, being one shot because a dude put a rifle round through your skull is fair game imo, don't peak when you don't have a good position to do so
You still have the piercing values scuffed too
Regardless of a mod you use, unless it specifically fixes terrain penetration
Oh the being shot through walls thing, yeah thats mildly annoying
Though I must admit, the biggest pain-point for me with the game's current state is the hive-mind AI
You shoot one of them, even suppressed, he's not close to any of the others, they all know about it
Like Oblivion didn't have hive-mind aggro in 2006. Why its present in S2 is baffling
So I have a theory on that as to why it's scuffed
I have reloaded save and can confirm, polters can throw keys
Enjoy trying to open a closed door. The key might have been thrown through walls and be inaccessible.
On stream, I noticed enemies will ignore you if you reposition yourself outside of the area you last were spotted from and the game actually leaves a "last known position area" right?
If you get to close and that blue bar in your compass lights up it negates everything and they automatically know where you are at because their hearing is adjusted way to much outsider of their sight range
Because that bar is supposed to be only a sound detector
They have a hive mind because they can hear you from 50m
I dont know about the HUD element on account of never having played with HUD on, but yeah, hearing might well be over-tuned
One more patch that focuses on that should fix it
It feels very unintuitive currently, you can only just hear them walking at some distances, you move a tiny bit, whilst crouched, which should be quieter and they home in on your position like they have the nose of a dog. Doesnt feel great
Because on the original trilogy, enemies have that same detection rate, only they don't hear as much and you can Flank them because they are heavily focused on your last known position
Indeed. If AI gets some tweaks and you can effectively outplay them with stealth, that would do wonders for making the game play better
just one more patch
Now I also tested a silenced shot without moving from a bush since bushes now hide you from being spotted, well certain bushes, as long as you do not get spotted(via the white bar on lower difficulties) you can shoot them and kill them via a silenced weapon and not get spotted
Now with master you cannot tell if one dumbass enemy is looking your direction which will alert the entire camp
just walk behind the enemies and stab them one by one they usually walk in single file
Weird it works from bushes, because it does not work in buildings. I was at the depot in the Red Forest yesterday doing the mission for Freedom up there, got on the pipes on the side of the building, in through a window and killed the leader with a silenced weapon. The entire group both inside and out instantly knew about it
No callouts, just instant hivemind aggro
i think in general the enemies spawned by missions act differently than those randomly spawned
My guess is, one enemy spotted you before you started climbing or walking on the pipeline, left a "last known position in that area" and once you shot they knew where it was coming from
Nah, they have no line of sight from that angle whatsoever
None of them spawn down that little side alley and I went in from the traintrack side
Seems a bit of a stretch, there were no signs of aggro till I shot my weapon, though I guess there is the possibility
But I believe one more patch should fix this, if they are working on AI
I did also get shot through a wall in that building a couple of times, so maybe the peircing values arent just the problem and enemies are literally able to see through the walls
Ofc you expect them to know your rough location, because thats how AI works in games anyway, but to that degree is a pretty big yikes
And they can spawn junk if there is none to hit you with
Im not sure Burer's can do that though
Hmm... didnt feel like it when I was at the train tunnel behind the water treatment plant, though i also didnt exactly want to stand in front of it
Yeah, we all know about the guns thing
I was in a field of grass and a burer somehow spawned a soccer ball to hit me with
Lmao
The most innocuous object and probably the least dangerous one to have chucked at you 😄
I have had a number of runs die due to being clobbered with a chair or some other random object with polties though
Innocent my ass, it felt like I fell 3 flights of stair cases when that ball hit me
Imagine if this game had OG trilogy ragdoll animations
You know what this game needs too??
Enemies using their sidearms because every goddamn bandit has vipers or shotguns
I have yet to see any of them pull out their side arm
Lore accurate stalker saga g36
Nerf Stampede ecs
That would be good tbh
Markone
Wadajal
Yeah... That would be nice. Like we have limited ammunition, it would be nice if the same limitation was given to the enemies. Sure give them unlimited sidearm ammo, but limiting their main weapon magazine count to 2/3 would be quite immersive
nerf guns in stalker would be kinda funny
I don't think anyone thats been past the swamp section of the game tends to carry a great deal, so it'd probably work well
a rare thing for a rookie loner to drop
Tarkov blicky energy
Probably there is a mod for that, check it out
Especially when you only get 10 rounds off them anyway
Indeed, though it would also in theory give the chance to get nothing from them
Which would be a good thing imo, but people would have differing opinions on that ofc
Mind you, after a point you all but stop using stuff like 9mm
So it would be largely irrelevant in many cases
I checked and didn't find anything, might be able to make one myself
Reason: Bad word usage
tf
awful muzzle velocity, poor rate of fire, bulky ammo, but enough damage to vaporise whatever you can hit
Thats wolf, fairly annoying
wolf is based
If I knew how to animate and what not, I would love to put some disgusting endgame gun into S2, like the Venom from Return to Castle Wolfenstien or summat lol
American 180
Lol
Wolf3D minigun maybe
lmao
beautiful
it's like a crossover of a tommygun and a mingun
Yeup 😄
hi uncs
Child
i think the first few custom guns with custom animations are rolling off the assembly line
tho they are mostly imported from other stalker games
unc spotted

Looking at Discord’s events, will people eventually move to Matrix?
not the majority
Historically, companies have provided good services, later became shit and most people (even with great alternatives) didnt move because they are used to it and all of their things are stored/placed there
Thats why many still use windows even tho linux is there.
Same for twitter, same for facebook, etc

precisely 👆
many still use Windows due to its backwards Compability
in fact the reason they even dare going to these lengths of user abuse is because they're fairly confident that the users are sufficiently entrapped and won't switch away
Wdym exactly? I don't know this (probably)
it allows apps made for earlier versions of windows to still work on later versions of it, its why you can still play SOC, stuff like Mac or Android just lets old apps die
Doesnt linux do that tho?
With different programs of course
But I know that theres lots of emulating freedom and backwards compatibility
backwards comp is sometimes even better on Linux 🤣
you can install old versions of programs with their old versions of support sometimes, not always
just try to boot up a pre-2000 game on windows 11, you'll probably fail
Well, lets say that it is the case, which is cool.
The other 90% of users can just switch and not feel much of a difference
it works for me
And most of the ones that do need to stay, is because companies havent made their stuff for linux, not linux fault but the company
I believe it's 90% inertia --- people are used to one thing and they stick to it
Also not really true tbh
not because it's better, but they are used to it
At most you need 1 patch to fix it
But I know that linux doesnt have many differences in this case with windows. And that emulating is even better there
the 10% that's willing to switch, at least half likes to play some kind of competitive multiplayer and can't switch because of anticheat, and they rather endure the enshittification of windows than give up their beloved game 👀
the remainder have already switched.....
not really, Linux can run certain stuff from windows using a myriad of emulation layers which add complexity and can break even more stuff in old games that are used to old functions
Mmmmmm
Linux > Windows
In a way thats true, but afaik, its fixable, most of the time
But tbh I'd have to try it properly before talking more about it
But then again, most users can switch unless specific problemsz like in this case
its a lot easier to fix in Windows, which is the enviroment that the game was supposed to run at,
yuh people tend to prefer something familiar than something new even tho it means getting your data harvested
sadly true 😢
also, I should have thought of that username, I'm envious 😛
Handsome Jack gave me it
noice
if i remember correctly
Found a rifle that 3 taps chimeras
People fans of Cyberpunk 2077 doesnt know and get crap about cyberpunk genre
Random crossovers huh
Ok
Strelok x maki zenin

Oh and something I forgot to add.
If you have 2 SSDs/HDDs, you can dual boot, fixing all problems 
Sounds dumb, until You realize the cyberpunk GENRE is a warn and reflextion of what we could go and become if we let corpos get more control than they should
And how deep we can fall for an artificial better versión of us
Not about dying like a maniacal prick.
sounds dumb, maybe, its made bc ppl thought it looked cool
Thats the point.
damn, it looks cool, we should become cyberpunk
People doesnt wanna see it the thing or way they like stuff
Is stupid
not CyP2077
that looked bad
Time to play CP2077
You know Even a ripperdocs are low on mods, Even there is one that speeches about dangerous of mods
Even that if one day a sun wave comes, Will fry every single one of people depends or use Even minimal mods
you sound like someone whose perception of an entire genre is predicated on a single bad modern game
hmmm
You sound like You just wanna call me party pooper lmao
I would but then I realize you gained this opinion after playing CyP77
and yhea, if that was my only point of contact, I would hate it all too
that game sucked
Of course??¿ I never said i was a hater
But
Im hater, but in fact how is not RPG
"now the point is You cant change the city You mean sh*"
If they sold it as rpg, it should let me
Do what ever i want
And i state, i elaborate the point about the real point about the cyberpunk genre, cuz i learn about it personally
The only games I know of that you can really do whatever you want is fnv and bg3
People would call out new Vegas enjoyers just glazers
But is true
That is the only Game that does PERFECT the point of RPG
BG3 sucks since its made with the world of D&D
Hopefully the remake is good like oblivion was
I mean yeah, if you dont like dnd I can see why some people wouldn't like it
why is the three captains mission still bugged
Are you unable to start the quest?
no, the mercs dont show up if i side with beard and sultan
LOOK DOWN AND SHOOT THE WALL NEXT TO THE GUARD STATION AND THEY WILL ACTIVATE
Sorry caps
it worked
When we are talking about destroying the system but a punk with a che Guevara shirt comes in:

only system i want to destroy is the X-network
The only thing i really want is A-Life
then get a life...
wanna hear a real joke?
Badum tsss
sure
Not your life, because yours isnt even funny
yours is such a joke that it is funny? 
Me when I slightly miscalculate my rocket shot on a pseudogiant he comes charging me down and stomps me to death because I'm out of stamina and health kits

i hope a life gets deleted
next update wont be engine
thats 2.0
wait 4 months just to have all mechanics break down togather with new DLC 
Thats so overused man, gotta have something better
Update 1.9 will forever break all mods ever
2.0 is engine update?
damn near certan
Greaaaahhh when 2026 roadmap
Im guessing 1.9 is probably just an update to prepare for 2.0, or just qol stuff
2.0 is all socials closed and game deleted from steam
The wait will be longer than the wait for gta 6
gta6 next year
well thats an easy wait cus idgaf about gta6
Gta 6 got pushed back another year pretty much, probably get pushed again to mid 2027
Would love a content update for 1.9 but its probably qol, which i really dont mind
it might be the next wave of modding tools
Genuinely the wait is so long that the game will flop no matter how good it is
Oo that would be amazing... but someone will eventually make stalker 2 gamma so might as well just nuke the world now
i want fishing, herbalism, cooking, blacksmithing
Eh, it might have some traction
I just want the ai to react in situations
what do i do with this new found power
Nothing
AI wont be smarter than what we had in 2010
yah nothing i like being a powerful tyrant actually
wouldn't want to do something to upset my power

I bet gsc will simply skip 1.9 version and make the next patch 2.0 with the engine upgrade. They even tried to avoid calling the last patch "1.8", it was just "stories untold content update"
we gonna get stalker 2 2 
who cares what the number is behind... all matters what the number brings
2+2=1.0
Might be stupid but are we only missing the binoculars and zone kit?
think longer day and night
and small patch like ue5.5.4
and the local save restoration
Stash rework too mabye
binoculars for what? to zoom in 100m?
More content across map?
i guess
im hoping it comes with the engine overhaul
We did get hontas quest
so we can get 300m bubble range
And the untold stories update
Still empty side of the map
from what i understand engine wont bring anything for alife. maybe engine can bring more performance so gsc can boost buble numbers
Wait did the stashes loot rework already happen?
Yeah we need content in pripyat
Nah im pretty sure were missing that
Idm the pre filled stashes
they added the burnt forest settlement and the dudes chillin there
Soooo for a stash rework we talking like....refillable stashes?
That would be a something
not many items in the game to have something interesting in stashes
they could start adding artifacts
yeah, stashes were rebalanced a bit and now there are memory cards with coupons
"chances for koupons to spawn"
also i dont understand memory card for coupons. why not just put money in it? i missed some lore here?
free gentlemens club month long pass found as a 1 percent chance from stashes
people wondering why there is only like 5 women in the zone turns out bro
they were all in the same place
u can find birch in the stash, 1% chance 
deployable birch
it just spawns a log
all we will have will be the eternal knowledge it'd never be as good as OP2.2 
In logs 😲
