well, okay, not really

[tame panther]

Hmm i like to think that C-Con spread rumors in the Zone about a giant rock in the middle of the CNPP that grants wishes in order to create a cult of stalkers to lead into the center and then brainwash

[proven hollow]

wouldn't surprise me one bit, it needed more people to brainwash so that's a good way to get veteran stalkers to come to them

[rough lintel]

This might be true

[fickle hill]

Another day another chill up my spine

[kindred fable]

Technically it's present in the game since 1.7, although pretty limited

[hot quail]

yeaahh, that basically isn't A-Life

[smoky hawk]

PCPartPicker uses the price on amazon but you can penny pinch in a lot of those, get a refurb CPU or GPU, buy a lower end Mobo, use the original CPU Fan, underclock your stuff to use a lesser PSU, dont buy a case and use cardboard
or find some poor sod to lowball on a second hand website, you can get good deals

[still edge]

added but needs improvement and more layers of complexity , S2 in 1.0 didnt have alife at all, S2 1.7 has alife but its pretty barebone , need refinement

[serene barn]

checked on this today. it also had a better Gen of NVGs than i was using.

[empty hare]

Yep, no idea why they put the top tier NVGs in there as it completely removes the need to buy/find any of the other ones (Gen 2 are locked behind a story quest in Swamps) if you've ever played the game before

[serene barn]

errr

[empty hare]

I went from Gen 1 to Gen 3B and now I have no reason to even grab any of the other ones, the 3As are locked in Jupiter too

[serene barn]

idk if i remember being given Gen 1s from a story. the hunter is a side quest

then i got the Gen 2s i was using from the Burnt Forest camp questline.

[empty hare]

Yeah you can get them that way or from a locked room at some factory area in Cement Factory

Oh damn yeah thats right, i forgot Scoutmaster gives you some for free

[serene barn]

i also grabbed the GP37 with a scope rail installed from Yantar while i was in the area to compare it to the v2 and mayyybe use it some.

comparing their stats the v2 seems to be the better of the 2 in more than 1 thing.

[empty hare]

Im using OXA Core so the GP37 with the scope rail is a gigantic backpack clipping through my head right now, so im using the Kharod as my 5.56 rifle

The V2 kicks ass, i used it extensively in my last playthrough

[main jewel]

im just happy the gp37 accepts the underbarrel shotfgun

[frigid axle]

i LOVE the new 2 pistols of oxa, the p320 and glock, the glock it's so goodddd

[main jewel]

then i can feel like buck from r6

[frigid axle]

lmao

[empty hare]

Sadly they do significantly less damage compared to vanilla guns when using BB, so I've had to avoid them

[frigid axle]

huh? wym

[serene barn]

it unironically does. like it's got significantly higher damage and some more range to push it's max damage out a bit more but it can't take any other attachment than the underrail and that's annoying.

[frigid axle]

glock here is alr, it does same damage as a Mp5 since it uses 9x19

[empty hare]

When using Better Balistics the guns added by OXA are not configured the same as vanilla guns (whos damage values are modified by BB)

[tame panther]

@summer owl There is not a single Ecologist left in the Zone
And i have only one document

[frigid axle]

oh?

[serene barn]

another thing is how much cheaper it is to repair than a normal one.

[summer owl]

Bro did a genocide for a couple bucks 😭

[tame panther]

"I dont think you understand, the Zone isnt yours to conquer"
"I will burn your faction down"

[empty hare]

With OXA i was able to completely trick it out with a new laser, grips, optics, etc and it rivaled the Dnipro in effectiveness against monolith

[frigid axle]

i just checked and it's just a tiny bit for the glock, i compared it to the vanilla mp5 modified by bb and its doest just a little more damage, and you gotta consider that BB is not only ab Putting more damage to the guns, but also weakening the enemies too, so it's not so much of a problem id say

[empty hare]

Ill have to do an in game comparison between the OXA AK and the vanilla one in my save then, if the difference isnt too major I'll definitely grab one

[serene barn]

i don't have an AR suppressor for it but the v2 shows like higher in 3 stats lol.

[frigid axle]

So far every gun im using with oxa seems fine, i didn't encounter bullet sponges, like 2 shots with an Ak 74s to the chest and every bandit goes down

[empty hare]

Nice

[tame panther]

i have 206 Ecologist patches in my stash btw
and those are just the ones i picked up

[shell flax]

Hk P30, not P320

[frigid axle]

it does look like a p230

[summer owl]

You're bragging at this point lmao

[empty hare]

Do the suppressors offer any benefit other than noise reduction in vanilla? They slightly increase muzzle velocity with BB

[serene barn]

my GP37 with a Holo, 203 and drum mag makes it 6,6kg when loaded lol.

[shell flax]

It’s labeled P30 even in the busted localization on console

[tame panther]

Hmm i guess Sakharov, Hermann, Ozersky, and that egghead tech are still alive
Mayble they'll drop something

[frigid axle]

i just didn't know the name of it ingame and called it p230

[serene barn]

They increase range so your optimal damage range is pushed a little further

[frigid axle]

also the glock has a default magazine of 17 bullets, so the tiny bit less damage is backed by its ammunition count

[empty hare]

I typically do not bother with pistols at all and just stick to Skifs Makarov and upgrade it, however i found whatever the .45 handgun is called in game with an extended mag and optic and goddamn is it nice

[smoky hawk]

as if youll actually use pistols in stalker

[frigid axle]

im not talking ab vanilla

[empty hare]

If i could stash skifs pistol without him and the game having a melty id use pistols a lot more

[smoky hawk]

GRIM

[serene barn]

According to an outdated sheet. They increase velocity, range, distance and wear. Idk what difference that guy made between range and distance

[empty hare]

The increased wear really isnt all the bad in my experience, it's minor enough that i can affordably run a suppressor almost all of the time

[serene barn]

The Kora is nice.

[empty hare]

Thats the full auto one right?

[serene barn]

Uh no

That’s a Mac10 iirc

[empty hare]

No wait its the APSB or whatever its called thats full auto

[serene barn]

That one is burst lol.

[empty hare]

Lol ive never actually used it, i have a broken one in my stash that i haven't bothered to repair

[serene barn]

Have you not used the Kora then? The M1911, or Kimber something.

[empty hare]

Nope, not yet. Ive been meaning to play with the pistols more this playthrough so ill have to grab one

[tame panther]

There is nothing....

[serene barn]

the Kora was added when the Mosin was. it's an M1911 or some model of Kimber. it's chambered for .45 like the UDP is but it does significantly better damage but holds less ammo. there is a unique one with a supressor and an extended mag attached and is chambered in 9mm. it retains pretty much the same stats other than being unable to get the muzzle break modification like any other gun does if they come with a forced on suppressor.

highest tier armor i'vew used it against currently was a merc exo or 2 in Yaniv and i think it killed them in 2 shots to the head.

the unique one holds 2 rounds more than the normal one does with the extended mag.

but i wonder a little how it does against mutants if i used HP ammo as there isn't HP of 9mm but there is in .45

[main jewel]

ough

[empty hare]

Ive actually found that HP 9x39 is the single best anti-mutant round in game, 2 body shots to a bloodsucker will kill it with HP and a chimera can be taken down in under 8 shots from close range

However it's incredibly rare and expensive

.45 HP is quite good too in my experience, although i wish there was an HP 9x19 option

[serene barn]

Maybe there isn’t because a Bizon in 9mm HP could be silly good lol.

I haven’t yet used a Rhino on this run but i have the edition one and a normal in yellow i haven’t yet repaired.

[main jewel]

only if there was 7.62x51 hp

[main jewel]

buckshot rhino

[serene barn]

I feel like I remember the edition rhino missing a modification.

I wish i knew the stats of different ammos. Closest i know is an outdated sheet last updated in January 2025. Sigh.

[cerulean bough]

Hey Stalkers, is anyone play on master with immersion mode on? Can you tell me a little about your experiance with it?

[tame panther]

well if every egghead is dead
I guess this counts?

[hollow jungle]

Anyone knows of a mod that ID stalkers similar to what gamma does when you aim at anyone? It shows their faction

[visual mortar]

trueeee

me when I play for stalker coop but then get stuck in a typical grindy mmo that had entirely pay2win monetization

[frigid axle]

WHAT JUST HAPPENEDDD,

i was walking my way to yaniv starting by the cement factory, and there was an emission coming, i couldn't find adeguate cover so i went to the nearby Bandit base, The emission started and i was still outside, with like 2/4 of my health i entered in their base, went in to a little room and started healing my self (im using a mod where medkits heal you way slower) and i used like 3 of them in a row to heal faster, then ALL OF THEM started to jump me in the room from left to right, my bulat armor mostly saved my life but if i didn't shoot them quickly i wouldn't made it, I HAVE THE CLIP that explains everything better

im also using BB

[kindred fable]

Post the clip

Ah, for some reason I thought you meant that they've started to jump, literally. Not in a sense of "ambushing" you or something like that, lol

[frigid axle]

nah mb i forgor to add "me"

[empty hare]

Sometimes those guys spawn all at once, ive had that happen before in that exact location where fleshes spawned inside the building only after i entered it

[solemn ibex]

I am very nostalgic for Shadow of Chernobyl vibes - sounds itself I can write an essay about it

[frigid axle]

nah that was a bandit base, i visited it numerous times in my playthroughs, they were all in bcs of the emission

found a Ram-2 near a stash while doing a mission in Malachite. gotta mod it up, might be my fav shotgun after the Texan variant

[frigid axle]

maybe i should make the teaser of my challenge alredy but idk if i got enough clips... better make more

[austere pagoda]

damn u still here bro

[serene barn]

i feel some sometimes those moving electrodes or what they're called will just lock onto you if you're in certain places.

[ruby gale]

If you have artifacts on they do

[opaque glade]

Okay, so the FPS problem... I tested the game even on GeForce Now and wtf, how is it buggy? First of all, let us disable this DLSS crap, etc. They need to stop putting Nvidia in most games these days. I disable it and the result is an FPS gain. In conclusion, guys, DLSS isn't the future, it's garbage. To be honest, I think the FPS problem comes from the fact that the developers don't even let us disable it.

[gloomy dock]

So is the ue 5.5.4 update ever going to happen? We're already past their "roadmap"

[ruby gale]

It'll probably still be awhile

[serene barn]

What about giants? Lol. I’m making my way to kill some bandits in the Red Forest and deal with the Collared Giant there.

[empty hare]

Probably do a lot better than any standard ammo other than HP 12ga

12ga is only really useful pretty close up, 9x39 HP can reach out a lot further

[serene barn]

the Ram-2 actually has decent range and it's got the tightest spread. the crosshairs for it can get so small it makes a ring with a dot in it lol.

[still current]

[serene barn]

well, i let it lose, fled then let them fight it out before dumping a mag of my Kora and almost 14 shells into it and it worked out with minimal repairs needing to be made.

[feral sigil]

whats yall fav npc from cop

[frigid axle]

Strelok

[frigid axle]

i think my challenge could come up tomorrow, I need more clips though now that i got newer tactical gear TwT

[still current]

cool

[frigid axle]

i made the Objectives way less boring to do and there are sooooooo many of them you literally do them without even paying attention

though Trying to Kill 3 exo monos with a knife will mostly end a lot of people's playthroughs maybe- lol

[frigid axle]

nvm for no freaking reason now everything is corrupted

Rn im tryna figure out what's wrong, im trying disabling all the mods but it crashes still, so, EITHER 1 mod decided to expire randomly or the playthrough is done for

[still current]

A mod probably

You kinda made a salad with your game haha

[serene barn]

it feels so bad when you come across places just littered with bodies lol.

[still edge]

like hundreds of corpses?

[serene barn]

no but like, you know that fire anomaly cluster in the Burnt Forest with the helicopters? there's a spawn for a Hornhead and i keep finding like 10+ bodies there.

[still edge]

GSC still has a script to auto spawn npcs one next to the other, it was used before 1.7 to simulate conflict between npcs but its time based, so the result might be the zone getting flooded of npc in offline alife mode

[serene barn]

there was Freedom bodies, there was bandits, some loners and like 2 ward. just, doesn't feel good not to mention they're laying in places i for a fact know they did not die in and the game moves them around when you enter the vicinity and turn them online.

[still edge]

thats the problem of alife not being map wide spawned , the spawner is greater than before 200mts+ but the result is flooded zone and fake encounters every now and then

hopefully they figure out how to spawn npc map wide and keep them in a sort of stasis when player is 1000mts+ from said npc ,so we dont find npc spawning right next to the other, instead kinda like soc where there npc are always there even from far away

[serene barn]

i also don't like that bodies aren't solid with each other

[still edge]

are the bodies flopping around?

[serene barn]

like there was this place in Cooling Towers where a group of Mercs seem to have rounded up a container full of zombies and when fragged it and finished the surviviors off and then started looting, i'd pcik up the bodies just to make sure i got all of them.

[serene barn]

if i move away yeah lol.

but what i mean is they clip together

and i know for a fact it can't be that hard a thing to program because a modder managed it seemingly just fine.

[still edge]

a modder fixed the problem?

i wonder how... maybe
"npc dead" -> disable physics simulation
if "npc touched by any entity" -> "enable physics simulation"

[serene barn]

a modder made a mod way back when i even played a year ago iirc. that made it so bodies would stack on each other instead of just clip together.

[still edge]

also a modder added dynamic flashback in day 1 of stalker 2 and GSC havent added that yet

maybe GSC has too much QA loops. make 1 change have to do a full QA check of every single thing until verify completely

[frigid axle]

though like why? like out of no where? there wasn't any update or patch

[still edge]

the only thing that comes to mind, your Antivirus deleted a file /marked as suspicious

[frigid axle]

I'm on xbox

[shell flax]

What mods do you have?

[still edge]

wtf how it could break on console

[frigid axle]

about 2 pages and a half, which are 32 i think?

[frigid axle]

idk bro like 10 MINS AGO IT WAS ALL FINE

i crashed after an emission came and now every time i load a save i crash

[shell flax]

what mods are they?

[frigid axle]

1 sec

[shell flax]

Tag me in screenshots

[serene barn]

@still edge like i like the game but brooother.

[still edge]

one thing its kinda in our favour , Stalker game is GSC front runner, its do or die with the stalker games, they dont have any other game , stalker games is the only thing GSC has to focus on

i have hopes S2 wil eventually be an acceptable form for og stalkers like me, it might take a bit of time tho

[serene barn]

idk if i feel like that's any comfort lol

like just look at the state of the gamehow many things is there still after what, 17-18 months

[still current]

Happens if the game loaded a specific unupdated data. Sometimes, when a patch is not updated, it still works until it's not

[serene barn]

i am nearing 600h on steam but dude really.

[still current]

Perfectly possible

I don't know how to explain technicalities, but it is what it is

[frigid axle]

so you say that 1 mod just imploded 20 mins ago on it self?

[still current]

Maybe

I'll try to explain it in a simplistic non technical way

[still edge]

compare 1.0 to 1.9 there was enough improvements , still missing alot of things but also alot of things has been added

[serene barn]

i'm not saying there hasn't been done things

i remember enemies spotting me from so far away before they made the foliage actually help with detection

[still current]

Let's say you have a mod that adds a cheese item and it wasn't updated in the new version config, game might still work until it is forced to load that inexisting item that was already spawned in your current game but is still missing in the new files

Or the newer file is missing something that is necessary for the new version

It's two ways around

[serene barn]

or how they did a bandaid fix for A life not working in the slightest by making the game spawn in enemies like 10m behind you for no damn reason

[still edge]

it was really bad day 1 , like really really bad

[still current]

They didn't. Some residues may still be found technically.

Newer ai is less obvious than what it was

[frigid axle]

ohhhh, so it crashes when the mod loads smt that wasn't meant to load in that patch since it was unuptdated

[still edge]

i heard they spawn in offline mode most often and thats where the hicups of the over populated zone happens, its better than spawning right next to you , but really needs to be fixed

[frigid axle]

6 mods remaining and theire all vital ones, ill have to see wisely which is the Impostor that makes me crash or if i remove a wrong vital one, instead of crashing by a mod i crash because the save depended on that mod

[serene barn]

i also remember when the AI didn't loot bodies like they did in the old titles.

idek if those npcs keep the stuff once they get out of your range and despawn if you were to try to return to them

[still current]

Not really updated in that regard. Shay might be best suited for that area

What we have now is still not alife but let's say pretty close

0.7 lets say out of 1

With hiccups ofc

Can be better, and will be better

Just eventually

[still edge]

is shay only doing the modding? cant they just pay shay to do the alife and add it to the base game?

[still current]

Something like that yes. Some stuff require player render distance so yeah

I can be wrong, but it's likely a case of similar explanation maybe

[still edge]

devs sometimes should have modders working with them, its extra hands + the motivation of wanting the game to be better

[ancient fractal]

Akimbo shotguns

[still current]

I can't share anything in his name. So, I can't really answer any related question.

[still edge]

its NDA?

[frigid axle]

i found the imploded mod, it's BB it self

[serene barn]

it also annoys me when things become worse in games like the bodies being moved around or looking like they just got powered down and keeled over when they didn't use to be that way is just not good.

[frigid axle]

and i cant play without it it seems

[fickle hill]

The AAs died

[serene barn]

or however they managed to make telekinesis mutants throw things through the map somehow.

[ancient fractal]

Crack bloodsuckers mod

[still current]

I mostly don't know and I can't answer even if I do. We have not signed any document too. So, I can't really share anything in principle even so

[still edge]

sucks but also it does happens in development, you have feature-A working, you change feature-B , feature-A breaks for no reason

[still edge]

does that mean there is a chance of shay working with GSC?

I want to believe 👽

[serene barn]

it's also annoying me when there's loot but it's under the box it's supposed to be in. like i wonder how much there is that people just don't ever find because they didn't check if it would spawn in correctly.

[fickle hill]

Just pull a Dev "I might know or I might not know" or just say "I have a bomb above me so no comment"

[serene barn]

i also had a tile wall in a building in Rostok or Wild Territory or what it's called again that isn't supposed to be there and i walked right through it.

[still edge]

i have bloodsuckers big milkers mods + jiggle physics mod too

[still current]

Not that I know of

[fickle hill]

Okay I have seen enough

[frigid axle]

so now i remain with BB and headlessarmours mods,

and it seems like they conflict with eachother, JUST NOW, Like not before, just now they conflict

[still current]

But he's a tester so, feedback is normal in that case. I can not say any more than that. If you're curious about something, he's best suitable for answering.

[serene barn]

i'm also confused about why shotguns seem to be the only one i can unload by switching ammo even without any alt ammo on me but other guns won't lol.

[still current]

Cuz I simply don't know

Or rather limited to minimal knowledge that can be just misinformation

[still edge]

kinda bonkers to have shay as tester, i remember he was really insanely passionated day 1 when game released , he was non stop testing and trying to fix alife

im sure he has alife as main priority most likely will push for those changes until alife is in a respectable state

[still current]

I don't emply people to gsc but if I were them, I would've ig

[still current]

Most of the team are sharing their feedback by default

The whole program itself is self-explanatory

Test, report, and suggest when needed.

So, anything is possible eventually

Only thing worth knowing and I'm willing to bet on is engine update being priority over config tweaks and QoL changes.

[still edge]

im in hopium for stalker 2, it has to be perfect game eventually, its one of my top videogame saga

[still current]

Once it's done, I'm pretty sure all that will be left is what's obvious and dlc work

[ancient fractal]

Share???

[still current]

Logically, we can presume that everything should be underway cuz there is no way its not

[still edge]

not in nexus mod, its banned there

[still current]

So, when things go live, things will be rather moving toward bug fixes, optimizarion, and QoL improvements

[still edge]

sending mod on PM

[still current]

Might be. I'm also hopeful it would at least be good enough

[serene barn]

do we know if they're working on letting us use more optics on the guns?

or is it just uniques from the trailer

[shell flax]

We don’t know

[still current]

No. We don't

[still edge]

major fracture detected, hopium administered

[still current]

But again, I already said that it's most likely all engine update for now and compatibility/optimization

Would think about that maybe around dlc release if engine update released before that

[shell flax]

Engine update then probably rapid fire hot fixes then DLC I imagine

[serene barn]

i put the Collimator sight on the Ram-2 earlier because i remember using it but like, the front irons sight is still there just flipped down but like, it takes up so much of the sight picture and i am almost certain i remember it not doing that so i have to use the Holo instead.

[still edge]

i would think optics are super easy to make , like any modder could do it in a few hours , i hope they add more of thoese

[still current]

Well, time isn't really unlimited, so work should be already finished in base as they announce it

No?

It's a fair assumption cuz the summer isn't really that far

[still edge]

true , they kinda been in crunch time because of the day 1 release, i hope they get ahead eventually so they could do more development in a more relaxed way

[still current]

It's kinda hard to achieve that

Unless everything came out quite well

Also, I think it'll always be work cuz after this dlc we will be having another one, and then maybe the MP since it was not taken back yet

[serene barn]

in the trailer we see an SVU with a Collimator sight on it and you can't do that to any at the moment but there is already mods that let you put other sights on guns.

[still current]

Well, variants can come as unique guns

[shell flax]

Dev work for S2 will likely never get fully ahead because there’s the fact that internal testing and even Testers will never be able to catch every single bug, sometimes shit slips through and GSC needs to patch it up

[still current]

Or they decided on implementing more freedom with attachments

[serene barn]

a part of me hopes the shotgun we saw in the Trailer isn't actually a unique but like a normal one with new things

[still current]

Yeah, that's what unique means

[still edge]

but also stalker games are meant to be a bit buggy , the system is way too dynamic and complex to not have bugs

[still current]

Guns with name and special additions

[serene barn]

because another unique 860 seems kinda ass.

[still current]

Like the texam for example

[shell flax]

‘Another’
There’s one in base game

[still current]

It's a ram but blond haha

Lol

[serene barn]

a unique for me, is any gun that you can only get 1 of, it comes with altered stats and or attachments.

the 860 just sucks weener

[serene barn]

yeah and another, would make it have 2 unique 860s..

[still current]

Not necessarily. Unique is just guns that can not be found twice and may carry special stats or additions, even names

[serene barn]

so just a rewording of literally what i said

[still current]

Strelok ak literally being an ak with better Rate of fire

[still current]

I believe I said it before

And thought you objected so I rephrased it

[serene barn]

no that is what a unique is lol

[still current]

[serene barn]

same gun, possibly altered stats. possibly stuck on attachments.

can only be obtained 1 of.

[still current]

So I read the message again and it seems I skimmed through it without actually reading

Joke on me

Nobody is wrong here, just one guy in red being sleep deprived haha

Apologies

[serene barn]

i need to find out what is different about Glutton over a normal PKP.

assuming the sheet while outdated, still just reflects that there isn't really any.

but i wish it had better stats like the description always said it did

[still current]

Thing is, I think we are getting a rebalance cuz guns are in deep need for an actual thorough change. I would really feel better about gunplay if unique guns at least get more noticeable changes in stats and stuff rather than being almost identical with altered looks

I totally agree with that

Hopefully, guns will get the love they need

[serene barn]

i want to still be able to pick my optics. i dislike b eing stuck with the 1 on the gun.

i also dislike missing out on a modification because the devs put a forced attachment on resulting in the mod being unavailable

[still current]

Would expect that from a mod tbh.

First part about optics

[serene barn]

like i think there's a thing with the Rhino and it's unique Edition one where you can't get the muzzle break and it's like a 20% spread increase for like hipfire.

the unique Kora also cannot get the muzzle break for better hipfire accuracy.

i'm also still not sure if you lose the benefit from something when you put an attachment on like when you put the M203 on a GP37 with a foregrip, do you lose the foregrip's benefit or not lol

or like mentioned, the muzzle break's effect if you put on a suppressor

hows vanilla alife going for ya hehe

felt the proof yet 😄

[proven hollow]

imma be honest with you shay, i don't even remotely remember what that conversation was about

[austere pagoda]

it was a video on me explaining how alife worked up to that patch, you euhm didnt believe me

[proven hollow]

aah, well i'm sure you were wrong

[proven hollow]

must've been good trolling if you still remember it from a year ago

[austere pagoda]

you're my only hater in the past 1.5 years

ofcourse i will remember my day ones, good or bad ❤️

framing this one tho

[proven hollow]

based

[kindred fable]

Since you are here... Is that alife mod you were doing still in development?

#☢┃stalker-general message

That one

[proven hollow]

honestly i still haven't installed any mods for stalker 2 ever 😛

[frigid axle]

ONG WAIT MAYBE I RETRIEVED THE IMPLODED CORRUOTED SAVE, AAAA

[kindred fable]

Me neither. I want to make a full vanilla walkthrough when game's finished before touching mods

[frigid axle]

ok so NEWER SAVES crash but old 30 min old ones don't, PHEW

i thought i had to trash all the playthrough but im safe

[austere pagoda]

you can tag me, its fine i dont bite 😄

[proven hollow]

but if you wrong him he'll remember forever

[austere pagoda]

that one is simply a "tool" to see npc movement on VANILLA A-LIFE. so what u see is VANILLA with just a tool thing to see where the npc is since we dont have it in release

[austere pagoda]

its just the list is very, very small so not hard to forget

[austere pagoda]

as u know i got my own alife mod but what u see there is NOT it

[kindred fable]

Ah, right... But weren't you developing something that enhances that vanilla a-life system? Also, are you planning to make that tool public?

[austere pagoda]

i am kinda adding my own alife atm 😄

kindaaaaaaa, just lairs, who can take over where, who can roam where, how much where, blabla yaknow

[austere pagoda]

so idk depends what u think enhances is, as for the tool thats a no i think as it doesnt do a lot really just shows who is where

and only limited to humans, didnt develop into much more, just needed something to test my alife changes in offline

[kindred fable]

I see. Basically the same system but with a "custom config", if I understood it correctly

[austere pagoda]

but needed to track the npc movement for it

[proven hollow]

bro just editing some configs

[austere pagoda]

yeah kinda, im using the sdk to add in alife and change current alife

for instance im adding dynamic patrols to checkpoints that can be taken over by opposing factions

that in turn changes the flow of the region due to increase in humans, so i gotta account for that for mutants, and that gets the ball rolling further and further

[kindred fable]

Aren't you scared of GSC redoing the system completely after the engine upgrade so you'll have to start from scratch in the future versions?

[austere pagoda]

hmmm not really

[kindred fable]

Or something like that

[austere pagoda]

yeahhhhh, we had 1.5 years to see what gsc does

[frigid axle]

now i dumbed down the Number of mods from 32 to 23

[kindred fable]

Kinda fair...

[austere pagoda]

not really tbh first well the 1.5 years gsc had and second, its mostly running of the quest system believe it or not

and i dont see them changing the quest system for 5.5

[kindred fable]

I see

[deft coral]

Installing mods is for the weak who can't accept the vanilla life (?)

[austere pagoda]

most of my stuff now runs as a quest and quests can have depth compared to config structure

[frigid axle]

i alredy played vanilla, i cant play only vanilla bro

[austere pagoda]

and well if they want to release phase 2 narrative tools (make your own quest) i dont think theyll nuke how quests work now just for that

[deft coral]

Im joking, i cant imagine playing this game vanilla more than one or two times

[kindred fable]

Somehow it makes it sound like they had a "temporary solution becomes a permanent one" moment during the development of alife system

[proven hollow]

i can't even imagine playing the game for more than two times at this point

[frigid axle]

btw i found out the instability of my Mod pack, 90% of it was just Lootable zone, now that i removed it everything is going well

[austere pagoda]

idk what to say after such a long time hmm
i see the bigger picture that might be there but at current pace we are years away from it from gsc themselfs, let alone modders to the depth anomaly has

[kindred fable]

I know that I might be very naive but I'm hoping for a big overhaul after the engine upgrade...

[austere pagoda]

who knows man, maybe huge changes, maybe not :/

[proven hollow]

they must be working on something all this time one would assume

[kindred fable]

In the worst case, there are other vidyas to play... But it'll be sad nonetheless if they won't do anything with the current system

[frigid axle]

squirrels

[gaunt sorrel]

I enjoy STALKER 2 to the point, where I keep playing it.. not just once or twice.

[frigid hill]

rainthunderspark has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gaunt sorrel]

it's a great game

[serene barn]

wow, got hit back to back by 2 snork's pounce attack and they hit hard, i died.-.

[gaunt sorrel]

what did you even have as armor?

leather?

[serene barn]

...the SSP 100 SIRCAA suit

with a Compass i have a little over 4 bars of protection but they still did more than half my health in 1 hit....that does not feel like how it should be

[frigid axle]

that's the zone brother, everything can't abide by you, sometimes you just die

like when there's an emission coming and you're km's away from cover

[serene barn]

i went near that little building outside of Duga and got insta killed. i know about the snipers there but didn't know they reached that far out

[frigid axle]

you can use "no instagib" mod if that's a problem, prevents those guards from 1 shotting you

Finallyyyyy, i retrieved my Challenge playthrough, made it waaaaaaay more stable, i didn't encounter any crash so far at rostok, and it seems more enjoyable

@still current all good now, the challenge is indeed coming

[serene barn]

nah i just walked over to see if there was loot but i had saved not far from there so i just went back into the popper area nearby and killed 3 mercs with my Ram-2 again then avoided the building.

i do think they could and should've addressed that type of insta death in the game.

Metro Exodus had this thing where if you looked at signs it would have a translated text pop up.

could've done something like it then put warning signs around.

would also let us read all the many many writings around the map

[still current]

[main jewel]

gsc would never

[deft tartan]

On the new game

[main jewel]

the dlc

maybe some extra quests

lighting tests with the engine

tweaks

[deft tartan]

Copium

[kindred fable]

Maybe they'll even fix polter

Maybe...

[main jewel]

well the dlc is probably gunna have extra little dlc only side quests

[deft tartan]

Yeah, ofc. I'm hoping for an expansion of the second half of the story, with the locations like Yantar filled with more content and quests, preferably as part of the base game or mixed with DLC content. But the release is pretty soon and we still don't have any info about the scope of it, so we can only cope

[charred mortar]

Copiummaxxxing it's all we have.

[golden gulch]

Honestly i feel like this game is very half ass when it come to its open world, while its true that the side contents we having are very good, they feel so little for the crafted world, that not to mention almost every single sidequests are skipped after a certain story point.

[serene barn]

tsk, i am dealing with a polter in a place near Duga and it's acting like it's got no cooldown on throwing things.

[deft tartan]

That's how I feel too. The level/art design and overall atmosphere are insanely good, locations are awesome, but half of the map, if not more, lacks side stories and "purpose" that would make those locations feel like part of one big world. Currently S2 past first few locations feels like a linear game in the open world (in terms of content aside from the main quest), it needs more side quests and events, and also a big self contained side stories like the Stories Untold to feel complete. Imagine if each region had it's own unique side story in addition to the side quests, that would be awesome

[main jewel]

we need pripyat quests

and pripyat expansion

[proven hollow]

game could have twice an many quest content and still feel a little empty tbh

[main jewel]

maybe not lock more than half the buildings and make a whole big chunk inaccessible

[proven hollow]

that's also a performance consideration of course

[main jewel]

i wonder how well the performance will be when they add the iron forest

that place has alot of foliage and stuff

i wonder if the fog being added can aid that

[frigid axle]

wym, i headed to the iron forest early and it seemed fine

i dont assume they changed Iron forest THAT dramatically

[sleek hemlock]

I'm wondering when the release will be I seen May 12th alot but...eh I really hope so

[frigid axle]

id not be surprised if it will be a payd Dlc

[weak tangle]

Hi yall

[frigid axle]

[weak tangle]

[proven hollow]

if 12th may is anything it'll just be an announcement i'm sure

if it's anything of note and they haven't started teasing it yet then they might as well fire their entire PR department

[frigid axle]

guys is npc combat overhaul mod good? Last time i used it the Npc's had inverse effects, they were more precise and more terminator like

@austere pagoda sorry for the ping, but is living zone getting an update or smt? i cant see it anywhere

oh never mind, my mod browser was tweaking

[sleek hemlock]

Or shadow drop because didn't they say they wanted to aim for a spring release then want cost of hope to release in summer?

[austere pagoda]

im fine with being pinged, IM NOT FINE FOR JUMPSCARE PINGS

https://tenor.com/view/ayo-ayo-what-the-fuck-what-the-fuck-gif-16592310

[regal sinew]

I can see engine update and DLC both being aimed for nearer the end of August tbh, gives them the most time to work on it.

[proven hollow]

pff, first they said 2025, then they said early 2026, then they didn't say anything anymore

[sleek hemlock]

Probably to lower expectations because if they keep saying a specific date then cancelling it doesn't exactly help I think it's may 12 for something at least

[proven hollow]

yeah, but they don't say a specific date but then do upload a video of binoculars with 12/05 written on them

on a model that previously didn't have that date on it

[sleek hemlock]

It's very lined up and too convenient

[unique locust]

Anyone here tried using DLSS Enabler for S2?

I previously was able to get it to work, but now it just crashes my game on startup for some reason

[serene barn]

seeing a lotta mercs lately i feel. killed like 20+ in the last 2 hours

[hushed wyvern]

Im genuinely curios what the DLC and engine upgrade will bring to the game

What I mean is that I hope its more than just some story missions and some guns + better performance

[frigid axle]

fr like i disabled the living zone mod for smt and mercs just started spawning at every event bubble spawn thing

[main jewel]

erm no thats just probably when we will here an annoucement

or theyll just add binoculars

[serene barn]

it's not too bad because i feel like their guns are more likely to be yellow than red. or at least than when killing bandits.

[regal sinew]

I’m hoping some new side missions, at least in the later game areas and other areas that are barely touched. Some new artifacts would be cool too, hopefully they add in some that gives psi protection since there’s none in game atm that does that. I’d like to see some form of psuedo legendary/arch artifacts like the Heard of the Oasis coming back as a 1 of 1 with some HP regen and some kind of ‘teleport’ artifact like how a Gimlet works in other mods.

[hushed wyvern]

Oh yeah this too !!!

You basically took what I wanted and typed it out haha. Imo we need HP regen and psi protection artifacts. We have too many that do the same thing right now

Also I would like for more stuff to loot, idk valuables or stuff you can sell for money so its not just a ammo/food/meds spam in every box..

[serene barn]

gotta get ready to leave in a bit. then when i get home it's back on to retrieve the red guns i stashed in a safe and haul those back to Rostok.

[regal sinew]

They did add in computer components you can find and sell from the Sealed Truth update so that’s a start. Hopefully more things like that to come too.

[hushed wyvern]

Yep I hope we get more of that

[regal sinew]

Hopefully further weapons customisations and less restrictions on what you can currently use. Like adding a bigger mag or swapping scopes on some of the uniques. Kinda annoying how we can’t do much with them.

[hushed wyvern]

Yeah and mby better balance between weapons. Some are really wacky and its just weird

Its not as bad as at launch with the mutant HP buuut it could be better

[serene barn]

can only be found in that lower part of X-18 where the quest revolves around.

iirc? i'm yet to find parts outside of there.

[regal sinew]

I think mutants are fine rn tbh, they just need toned down in terms of spawning and being able to encounter a random Chimera or Psuedogiant would be cool. And maybe have bloodsuckers not combo you like they’re playing Mortal Kombat.

[regal sinew]

Nah it’s just inside the lab, but it’s still something new.

[hushed wyvern]

Idk bloodsuckers still feel too tanky sometimes but its playable compared to launch.

The biggest problem for me in the game is that we have a incredibly deep and well crafted world with next to no reason to explore lmao.

We just need more stuff to find in stashes

More sidequests + multiple side quests at the same time

[serene barn]

i hate it when bloodsuckers just juke my shots.

sometimes it even feels like the Ram having as tight a spread as it does, hurts it when i'm using it against Bloodsuckers.

[regal sinew]

Aye stashes could definitely do with an overhaul tbh, less of them with stuff inside but more varied stuff when you do find one with stuff inside it, possibility of finding a detector inside a random stash giving you a chance to get a Veles early type shiz. No more 12 boolets, a bread and 2 beers.

[serene barn]

i still wish there was a hydration thing besides just hunger.

[regal sinew]

Yeah I dunno how I’d feel about that with Skif having the absolute worst stamina in any STALKER game lol, he’d constantly be dehydrated.

[hushed wyvern]

Skif also seems to not understand where he is and what is going to happen if he does not RELOAD HIS FKIN GUN FASTER

Fr now bro takes 10 years to slap a mag in..

[regal sinew]

Get coupled mags.

[serene barn]

they changed stamina so endurance ONLY makes you regen faster. in the old games it gave you more stamina, simple enough

[hushed wyvern]

Irrelevant to my point

Its immersion breaking to see the lad lazily reload his gun

When I am facing unholy abominations that can turn invisible

It doesnt even have to be faster, make him miss the magwell and whatnot

[regal sinew]

Not really, they speed up reloading. Would be nice if the more you used a gun you gained more proficiency in it and build up reloading it quicker.

[hushed wyvern]

Even when he changes the mag to the other one its somewhat slow

Now I am not expecting ready or not levels of reloading speed

But he served in the army.. like cmon skif lock in

[regal sinew]

Exactly lol.

The god awful waving around when looking through a scope too.

No need for the sway to be that exaggerated, it’s not a .50cal you’re holding Skif.

[hushed wyvern]

Yep haha

Im hyped for the dlc anyway I wont lie

My biggest cope is that we will get new endings

[proven hollow]

my biggest cope is that there'll be some form of faction warfare

[hushed wyvern]

This text is an official announcement regarding a promotional collaboration between the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 developers and the Ukrainian supermarket chain ATB. Millions of collectible cards sold out much faster than anticipated, with organizers admitting the response "surpassed even the boldest forecasts." They acknowledge continued demand and are "looking for ways to please the fans," hinting at future news. Additionally, due to community demand, pre-orders for an additional printing of the "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Interactive Almanac" have exceeded 100,000 copies—marking one of the largest print runs for an art book in Ukraine in recent years.

Communities of Stalker 2 and the Metro game series are huge in their homeland

many thanks my good homie 👍

[cyan sparrow]

Gamma will get better alife!

[frigid axle]

guys do you know what type of mod error happens when you die, you try to load the save but you crash, you try to load past saves but you crash still, so you have to load older older saves to get stable again,

like i cant guess if it's a mod, a mod conflict or anything else, because it doesn't say anything about mod conflicts, and even if i disable all the mods, i still can't load the recent saves,

i was thinking about that my 3rd playthrough saves were corrupted a bit because i turned on and off too many mods, so idk if it happens because of that or because there's a funky mod that after hours of gameplay decides to implode randomly

[sleek hemlock]

Corrupted file in game code try reinstall

[frigid axle]

damm i gotta disinstall the game and reinstall it on the xbox??

and also are those the exact symptoms?

[sleek hemlock]

My best guess probably I should've said that's my guess

[frigid axle]

and should i delete the playthrough?

[sleek hemlock]

Now I'm making it very clear this is a best guess honestly I'm not sure if it'll fix the problem

[frigid axle]

like idc much ab the playthrough and reinstalling the game, just yk it would take ab 5h-

well still better than not trying

[frigid axle]

also why is your guess that specifically?

[worldly lion]

hey guys in stalker CS is there a way to destroy both duty and freedom

and bandits

and stalkers

[sleek hemlock]

Idk honestly lmao but if I had to guess the update may have corrupted the playthrough and or game file it may or may not fix it so full reinstall of game

[frigid axle]

the update? i made the playthrough 2 days ago i think

[sleek hemlock]

Then I'm not sure Google is your friend lmao

[frigid axle]

alrr thanks still

[frigid axle]

oh gemini says smt ab zombie script, it says that if i save the game with a mod, and then remove the mod in that save, the game when loading that specific save tries to find the mod i removed but doesn't find it, so it crashes

To me them big mutants don't make much sense. It always feels like I'm simply tanking them, simply exchanging "numbers" between us like it's morrowind or cheesing them by taking a highground

Meanwhile in original games mutants didn't feel dangerous after some point

At least they weren't annoying... But still, I don't know how to make mutants good

funerals will take place if krezzin gets banned

[main jewel]

ooo i use it to

[regal sinew]

I tend to kite Psuedo’s around while sniping them in the face, 5-6 shots with a Super will kill them. Chimeras are still fairly lethal but if you do enough damage to it while it’s lunging at you, you can avoid damage and it stumbles. They still need to be made a somewhat rare encounter but more unscripted.

[ruby gale]

In other news I might be getting a pc soon

[meager crag]

Damn, in that case, they should've banned the game from being sold in stores

[vernal lily]

Last time I played I was only looking to get S rank so I was using pepper balls or whatever that gun was

[main jewel]

aint it banned in germany or sold but everything is changed

[meager crag]

Yeah, basically

Or, well, at least the swastikas

[ruby gale]

They buffed pepper ball weapons in think, way more effective now

also killing nazis is a W but siding with them is a fat mega L

This one is specifically in reference to the RtCW game tho, right?

[visual mortar]

it literally is a logo designed to replace majority of swastikas due to censorship

[meager crag]

I mean, that is objectively the best Wolfenstein game

[visual mortar]

but i suppose i know nothing

[meager crag]

Tbf, I see more swastikas in those games than the Wolfenstein symbol

[visual mortar]

because its not censored where you are

evil mistress taking his life from him

[slow crypt]

spam of chernobyl 2

[meager crag]

Even more 🗿

Not a good look on our part, ngl

[dusky pawn]

Its the opposite

Unless we consider east asia but within europe the east is insanely prejudiced against giving custody to fathers and this has been recently changing for the better while the same exact trends have existed for a long time in the west and have developed more

I dont think there is even a single post commie country where paternal custody is granted in more than 30% of cases and in most its like 10%

[meager crag]

Oh damn fr?

[dusky pawn]

To get custody in russia or poland you have to prove the mother is basically a skinwalker lmao

[meager crag]

Thanks, didn't know that

So it's bad on both sides

[bold smelt]

in america its mother-sided heavily in the modern day

[slow crypt]

yeap

In Romania, I don't even remember ever hearing of a father with custody

[bold smelt]

historically here it was basically impossible for mothers to do such things in court but in the modern day its kind of an expectation for the father to have an extremely rough time in court if hes against the mother

[dusky pawn]

Its mother sided everywhere the point is it is less so in countries where these shifts first originated

[bold smelt]

well here its odd because its shifted from extremely father-sided to mother-sided with time

but that might also be a trend everywhere

[ruby gale]

Im glad I was given to my dad

[dusky pawn]

In poland custody was
30% joint
5% father
65% mother in 2003

60% joint
5% father
35% mother 2022
After divorces

Funnily enough men are more likely to get a positive outcome after applying for custody but I assume this is done when there are grounds for change

[bold smelt]

here there a lot more single mothers than fathers but thats more for reasons outside of court

deadbeat dads are just not uncommon unfortunately

it makes the cause of single fathers even more marginalized though

mine had to pay child support to my mother until i was nearly 10, she hasnt directly helped raise me since i was 3-6

so years of money went away from someone who could actually use it on me, done "for my sake" according to the law

[ruby gale]

My mom got addicted to drugs and was forced to sign me over but ran away before she had to

[sage dew]

Wow

[bold smelt]

i was more like a familial bargaining chip against my dad if that makes sense

[ruby gale]

And no one could find her for 10 years, until eventually she messaged my dad wanting to see me, turns out she was in the same town as us for over a year with no one knowing

[bold smelt]

damn

[plain fiber]

Is Anomalous Dugout still here?

[sage dew]

What did I just walk into?

[plain fiber]

No idea, I just popped in too. Seems like a rather serious discussion.

[ruby gale]

Went from wolfenstein to tasers to talking about parental custody

[plain fiber]

I just had a response to his recent video regarding the more recent retcons we're apparently seeing.

[dusky pawn]

Bruh

[ruby gale]

Last I knew she was in some kind of rehabilitation housing/neighborhood

And that was 3 years ago

[plain fiber]

Damn, I think he's gone from the server. That's a shame.

Well anyways, my response was this:

I wonder if GSC might be treating the engine upgrade as a sort of "clean slate" not only for the game itself but also for S2's lore, and that's why they're introducing retcons to S2 stuff.

[ruby gale]

I wouldn't be surprised

[shell flax]

He’s here still

[old aurora]

I think we need S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in VR

It would be so cool

[ruby gale]

Bloodsucker jumpscares for everyone

[hushed wyvern]

Sure but we need other stuff first lmao game still has issues

[old aurora]

Oh yea ofc

[hushed wyvern]

Basically fix post SIRCAA

[old aurora]

I wasn't saying we need it first. Just that I would love to have it.

[hushed wyvern]

Ye

[old aurora]

And I hope it does happen at some point

[hushed wyvern]

Im waitin for the new steam VR

I got a pair of Pico 4s rn and I want to upgrade when that comes out

[serene barn]

how long has Bloodsuckers had that attack where they rush in and swipe but keep going forward?

apparently with the sneak damage, an M701 can 1 hit a Bloodsucker in the head.

[visual mortar]

soon

steam frame is gonna be so awesome

[proven hollow]

i just hope stalker 2 becomes awesome soon

you'd expect something after so many months of silence

[still edge]

GSC: best we can offer is stalker 2 nft

[vapid galleon]

i still can not believe how many absolute dumbasses walked into that scam with open eyes

you remember pre release nft decision?

[vapid galleon]

[still edge]

GSC almost walked themselve into a cliff like a lemming

[serene barn]

what is it Readiness affects again?

[still edge]

how many drugs was involved in that nft decision, luckly they had an intervention and reason came back to the studio

[still current]

Yeah

[proven hollow]

how quickly you ADS i think

[still current]

But it was a bit tempting

[serene barn]

no that'd be uh, aiming speed.

[still current]

Readiness is basically how fast you pull out your weapon

[proven hollow]

i thought that was rotation while ADS

[still edge]

always use your main fap hand to increase weapon´s readiness

[proven hollow]

and projectile speed

[still edge]

now we are talking

[still current]

I honestly would like to be in-game but not as micro transaction lol

[serene barn]

i just put almost all the modifications on the Kharod i had in my stash and was thinking about if i thought i'd need it or if i should skip it to lower the repair cost.

[still current]

No? You sure aboyt that?

Cuz last time I checked, it was how fast and ready you are to shoot

Does not affect more than pulling and hostelling your weapon

[proven hollow]

the correct hand certainly increases my projectile speed

[frigid axle]

Btw robo did i message you before? because i remember someone like you with that pfp, i remember telling you my past like challenge in my past account but i dont really remember if it was 100% you

[vapid galleon]

[frigid axle]

[proven hollow]

not afaik

[frigid axle]

hmm who was that person

[proven hollow]

but honestly my pfp should be the only pfp allowed on this server

[frigid axle]

dam?

don't u rember someone called as merko or zedlepplin?

[vapid galleon]

Duty moment

[frigid hazel]

blimey, since the recent update the game spends 10 minutes rebuilding shader cache every time i launch it.

[serene barn]

went into a place in the red Forest with a controller and, i just put like 4 or 5 shots into it's head from afar through the chainlink fence and it didn't seem to try to pull or move much. lol

[empty hare]

Yeah if you're far enough away from that one it seems to kinda just get suck, i sat back and killed it with an AK one time and it just sat there

[serene barn]

It was kinda nice because last time I remember it having been after they gave it its AoE roar ability and it had full wall penetration and no cooldown so it was completely unfair

Then after I killed it and 10 or so zombies my game dropped to 5 fps and i got off and decided to get ready for bed instead of getting back on

I wish a bit that you could get cheaper repairs from techs you were on good terms with.

[empty hare]

Yeah that bunker has a hugely negative effect on framerate for some reason

[frigid axle]

im SHOCKED from how stable LTZ is lmao, like, I STILL DIDNT CRASH ONCE SINCE I STARTED, im panicking bro

not even a crash at rostok

[old aurora]

[frigid axle]

this means that every other player that tries it will have the same stable experience, at least on xbox

[old aurora]

Wait how do I favorite emojis?

Wait no

[frigid axle]

i dont think you can fav emojis? Just like use them a lot to have them in your recents

[old aurora]

I figured it out nvm.

[old aurora]

You can. On PC right click the emoji in the emoji menu

[jagged rapids]

Just booted up Stalker 2 and played for a few hours. Combat still needs a major overhaul. Tired of the "Rules for thee but not for me" gameplay.

Was shooting at a guy. We both had shotguns. He was hitting me, but I wasn't hitting him, because of range

Anomalies grab you from outside of their fields. Was artifact hunting and just got an artifact and was standing in place while oriented myself when vortex (spacetime anomaly bubble) sucked me through a building and out the other side. Was hilarious, but I wasn't even close to the vortex

Still a frustrating experience, rather then frustratingly fun experience.

Still no snork fingers

[empty hare]

Yep, i got rekt by a whirlygig through a brick wall of a house like an hour ago

[still edge]

shotguns for npc is always kinda op, playing modded soc and the most powerful gun a npc can have is a shotgun, the spread nullifies any horrible aim you can give to a npc, only way is if GSC gives npc such an horrible aim that they cant even hit you with a shotgun but then they become a joke with any other gun

[jagged rapids]

That's not my complaint

[empty hare]

Even with NPC Combat Overhaul they still somehow manage to nail you with every pellet at 75m (realistic for 00 buck irl) but yours cant seem to even tickle their chin

In fairness shotguns are fantastic weapons, especially considering S2 engagements cant take place beyond 100m. That being said their damage drop off in the hands of the player is extreme

[marble gyro]

Man this s26 ultra phone is awesome

200mp pictures

A crazy good graphics card

And 4k quality and wifi 7 compatible

Yeah the ultra series does pretty well

Still happy with my S23

Season 2 of virus outbreak and my prayers were answered to have another virus outbreak, hopefully it wipes out humanity this time

Does the next update have a release date or window?

[regal sinew]

Summer is all we know.

[foggy olive]

Yeah 16 GB RAM

[marble gyro]

I just upgraded from a s 10+, and I agree, that phone worked even underwater!

[marble gyro]

Yeah, let's not wish for that yeah?

[proven hollow]

but you're part of humanity

[hushed wyvern]

I wont let that happen

Terra invicta baby wooo

[proven hollow]

I have a great idea guys, how about we influence the world and all of humanity in some way to remove emotions like anger, cruelty and greed and other negative factors? The world would be so much more peaceful and better!

[hushed wyvern]

Sounds like a great idea ! With the best of intentions ! What could possibly go wrong ?

Fr the noosphere is the bigger brother of alpha gal syndrome (if scientists actually wanted humans to stop eating red meat)

[proven hollow]

I bet greedy and evil people will try to stop us

you know, now that I think of it, that's actually what happens in the spark ending, isn't it? Greed is removed, fear is removed, and all that's left is husks who are perfectly happy but unable to actually survive in the real world

[hushed wyvern]

Yeah.. worst ending

I really hope we get new endings in the DLC, specifically a Duty ending where we blow the damn Zone to hell <3

Tbh the ending could be beyond the zone since journalist quest line shows they built generators around the world..

[cyan sparrow]

Gamma 095 got better Alife than S2?

[hushed wyvern]

Yes

[cyan sparrow]

better perfomance, and QoL's 😮

[hushed wyvern]

And zero story

[cyan sparrow]

My days... time to swap the boat?

[foggy olive]

Gamma have different alife then trilogy?

[cyan sparrow]

Not in this particular point. They stated a improvement in recent update.

[hushed wyvern]

Short answer yes

[foggy olive]

Does thay finally have a normal warfare mode?

[foggy olive]

And what is the difference?

[hushed wyvern]

More areas in anomaly = heavier Alife to simulate and all that

• addons and custom stuff for Gamma

Someone made a addon that adds another logic layer on alife so you can see npcs going to do X around the map and all that

[foggy olive]

Ok area, what about Alife ? Does NPC have different moves or making something what thay dont something in trilogy?

[hushed wyvern]

Kinda.. depends ? Maybe ?

[foggy olive]

So what a difference with clear sky?

[hushed wyvern]

Read my name bro lmao why u gotta mention THAT stalker game 😂😂

Nah but in all honesty I dont remember much from CS, alife is more like CoP

[proven hollow]

smh hating what you don't remember

[foggy olive]

You know, it looks like they just took alife from CS, added more land and new items and stuff, and called it like a brand new alife system

[hushed wyvern]

I remember very well it being the worst game of the trilogy <3

[hushed wyvern]

I mean yeah but they simulate way more cuz the map is bigger and there is some new addon where the npc's have a new logic layer on top so they do more stuff with purpose

Still way better than stalker 2

[foggy olive]

For example ?
