[shell flax]

They’re lab mutants afaik

[vapid galleon]

it's not worth cleaning up the radiation, and hunting in the Zone is difficult. Once but more is more sensible

they made by C-Con

they are laboratory produced

[serene barn]

stalker wiki says they're decendants of the wolves

[vapid galleon]

ehh they made by C-Con bro

[serene barn]

idk, i think they did experiments on tthem but idk why C-con would make them in the first place.

[shell flax]

Which wiki

[serene barn]

uh, Stalker.fandom i guess

[vapid galleon]

don't forget that the main purpose is self-preservation, even the Monolith is a product of this. If you can control a being like a human so well, you can create and multiply mutants

[marble gyro]

What pun?

[serene barn]

i think most of the animals that lived in the area mutated when the zone came into being.

[visual mortar]

sin don't move. there's a very hungry camel behind you

[marble gyro]

I think that's your mom dude, have some respect

Gawwwd

[frigid axle]

ong

[visual mortar]

nah looks like a dromedary

[vapid galleon]

dude's so hurt and angry that he's really trying to provoke me

[frigid axle]

it's still her, treat her good

[visual mortar]

what

[vapid galleon]

lmao

[marble gyro]

She still got humps bro

[visual mortar]

no one is talking to you lmao

[vapid galleon]

cats and dogs maybe but not bloodsuckers, chimeras or pseudogiants bro

[frigid axle]

my tv just imploded, i was having fun playing veteran vanilla S2 so yk my fault for enjoying it

[marble gyro]

Best to take her to a chiropractor

They'll put her back right as rain

[visual mortar]

but she got two

[vapid galleon]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/561153801114091521

go offtop if you're not talking about Stalker

[marble gyro]

Wait this is about stalker?

https://tenor.com/view/random-kid-random-kid-meme-who-is-this-kid-who-is-this-guy-i-show-speed-meme-gif-5500368456913186520

[vapid galleon]

I never modded S2

because there's not big mod, just some usable content

[frigid axle]

bro read that again, my TV imploded, not the game or xbox, and it was vanilla

[marble gyro]

Ohhhhhh!! I remember you!!

[vapid galleon]

yeah yeah i got it

[serene barn]

bloodsuckers most likely weren't animal based, nor the giants and i am pretty sure the Chimera was made yeah

[vapid galleon]

why u playing it with a f***in TV

[frigid axle]

blood suckers are absolutely experiments, who could have that booty??

[vapid galleon]

yeah, as i said they made by c-con that's it

[serene barn]

yeah i think some were made and some just evolved, or devolved

[marble gyro]

You ever think a fart could have so much force to cause the reactor number 5 meltdown?

[vapid galleon]

dude, whoever control the monolith will definitely control a mutants and made mutants

[frigid axle]

what im saying is, the tv saw that i was having fun playing Stalker 2 so it decided to implode the hdmi port

[serene barn]

dunno what Polters coulda been before

[vapid galleon]

are snorks stalkers?

[frigid axle]

ghost busters mentioned

[vapid galleon]

.

[serene barn]

part of me wishes we knew more about how the humanoids came to be mutants

[hardy totem]

I have theories about snorks

[vapid galleon]

tell us boss

[serene barn]

like what really happened to Snorks.

[vapid galleon]

GSC stiil don't say anything about it even in 4. game lol

[serene barn]

or Bloodsuckers if they were ever human

[vapid galleon]

I think it's impossible for all of them to have a mask on their mouths and the mask stay on the same way

[marble gyro]

What if, snorks use a gas mask to prevent them from sniffing all the fumes the burers leave?

[vapid galleon]

they have no enough brain to do it

[vapid galleon]

@serene barn ?

[frigid axle]

nvm i just unplugged and replugged the alimwntatuon cable of the tv, all good

[serene barn]

they don't even have the mask on their mouthes i thinkkkk?

[frigid axle]

Burers fart??

[marble gyro]

They got the hose for the nose

[vapid galleon]

their heads then bro my saying is still applies

[marble gyro]

Nose filters out the bad

[serene barn]

don't super think so lol. like the mutants are also hostile to Monolith.

[frigid axle]

mouth doesn't filter anything

[hardy totem]

Snorks all seem to have remnanta of military outfits. I would theorize these would be from the military's first assault on CNPP after the zone's formation. At this point C-consciousness was still "new" and not as competent yet in its mindfuckery. They needed bodies to safeguard the center but weren't quite capable yet of something as sophisticated as brainwashed monolithians, so they turned the military assault into Snorks as a first iteration of defense

[serene barn]

single model thingy with nothing i can think of as why it is

[marble gyro]

Can you repeat that in English? @hardy totem

[vapid galleon]

yeah I was always thinking that, think you're C-Con and made the chimeras. You should program it like don't attack your soldiers bro chimeras definitely made by C-Con

[serene barn]

isn't the Chimera like part lion or something

[vapid galleon]

lol i was gonna say that

are they lion? wait, in Chernobyl?

[serene barn]

Chimeras is on the list of mutants i assume was made. rather than just evolved from an animal.

[marble gyro]

Chimeras are made from like genesplicing multiple things

Including humans

[vapid galleon]

it can be true but tens of years past. If it were like that, their numbers would have been extinct long ago (they can't reproduce because they are all male). They must all have been killed by Stalkers

[hardy totem]

True enough

[vapid galleon]

yeah same i think, add this list to bloodsuckers, pseudodogs and giants

and controllers of course bro no doubt

[serene barn]

mmm i think Psuedodogs are just evolved wolves

[marble gyro]

They are

But, doesn't explain the cloning ability they have

[sharp sierra]

They need to add the regular psuedodogs back into the game, I remember packs of them taking over the garbage in soc lol

[vapid galleon]

I don't think they are because they're 'pseudo'. Radiation cannot bring an animal to a level where it can control a human. It only mutates them, but mind control is a science and a skill. It is done with intelligence and willpower, especially when something like the complicated human mind is involved

[marble gyro]

They literally are wolves

[vapid galleon]

will be there a argument?

[marble gyro]

They got their psychic variants from long time exposure to anomalies and radiation

[serene barn]

my list would be
made : Bloodsucker, Snork, Chimera, Controller, Burer, Poltergeist.

Evolved : Blind dog, psuedodog, rodent, Bayun, flesh, boar.

[vapid galleon]

as i said, radiation cannot bring an animal to a level where it can control a human

[marble gyro]

You missed where I said

" PROLONG ANOMALY EXPOSURE"

[vapid galleon]

yeah close to me I'll just put psuedodogs to upper

[vapid galleon]

it still, anomalies are kill not improve. Artefacts improve you

[marble gyro]

Psy anomalies dawg

They can zombify you technically

[meager crag]

I believe some official piece of lore says that some also wear suits stalkers would wear

[marble gyro]

Or reverse mutate

And evolve

[serene barn]

i wonder if GSC will ever add artifacts that give you Psi resistance like the tip and Sidor says there is.

[vapid galleon]

dude, if you're exposed to the psy anomaly too much, you'll die, you won't transform into a psy controller. Or you will be a zombie in max chance

[meager crag]

The weird thing is that that they all got that GP-4 style gasmask thingy

[hardy totem]

Must have missed that one

[vapid galleon]

yeah, how are all masks same

[serene barn]

i would have liked at least 1 other look for the Snorks

[vapid galleon]

++

[shell flax]

Game limitation

[vapid galleon]

agreed, but GSC just 2 more desings bro it's not that hard. They designed the Zone by zero

handmade 64km^2 map

8x8

[serene barn]

a part of me feels like snorks could be resurrected bodies.

[vapid galleon]

idk

I said everything in my mind

[dreamy plover]

whys nobody answering my msmgs

[serene barn]

imma see if i can find some video to watch on mutants.

[vapid galleon]

what is your msg

[vapid galleon]

yeah lore narratives are good, I just don't like to spend my time to them but they're good when I listen them

[dreamy plover]

whats was first the chicken or the egg

[serene barn]

i remember Anomalous Dugout had videos on them but idk how well it goes into it

[vapid galleon]

first was you

[marble gyro]

Rooster

[dreamy plover]

thats weet of you

sweet

[vapid galleon]

I was only watching videos of that guy making fun of A-Life

[marble gyro]

Rooster has to fertilize the eggs in the hen, in order for the hen to lay them

[dreamy plover]

i think it was the hen still

[serene barn]

i used to watch his stuff on the old games before i even played those.

[dreamy plover]

keep going

[vapid galleon]

aside from Stalkerthroughs, I don't really have much of a viewing culture. Sometimes lore narrative or news or some interesting things about game maybe some guide

[marble gyro]

Nerrrrrrrrrrd

Har har

[dreamy plover]

yo sin dont sin

[vapid galleon]

not enough to be a moderator

[marble gyro]

Who's a moderator?

[vapid galleon]

@serene barn *in world of stalker...

[visual mortar]

imagine being a dorky ass moderator

[marble gyro]

Imagine being tampico

[vapid galleon]

imagine being a 200th moderator on the server

[visual mortar]

dont have to

it's pretty fucking awesome

[visual mortar]

there's 200 of them??

where

[marble gyro]

Being a fruit drink?

[visual mortar]

[tight galleon]

I wonder what the "canon" ending is for HoC

[frigid axle]

does sidorovich lay eggs?

[vapid galleon]

no canon ending for now buddy

[tight galleon]

how else does he get his HD chicken legs

[main jewel]

skif or strelok

[marble gyro]

Maybe that's the secret under his desk

[main jewel]

those 2 would be the most sufficient for making a new game

[tight galleon]

Skif's ending is pretty much unleashing the zone worldwide right?

Wonder how that would turn out

[main jewel]

i dont want a usa stalker so

strelok ending would be fun

taking the zone back from strelok

killing him in the pod

[frigid axle]

Scar becomes bread armour and Strelok grows hairs, and he wears scar and fights skif again

[main jewel]

and allat

like a soc thing

[vapid galleon]

no canon ending for now, only theories until GSC comes again

[marble gyro]

That's actually my favorite drink

[frigid axle]

wait wym, all the 3-4 endings are not canon?

[main jewel]

well thats why i say sufficient not ho ho ho it definitely is

[vapid galleon]

nah, I mean anything/anyone on it can be canon

[tight galleon]

I mean it's a neat concept, how the world is dealing with anomalies now that they're everywhere

Alot of people dying definitely

[main jewel]

only one can be canon

one endin

if there were to be a new stalker

[frigid axle]

ohh righttt

[visual mortar]

he gets it

[main jewel]

scar ending virtually is like the worst ending

and no new games can come out of that

[tight galleon]

True

[frigid axle]

what's the Canon ending Of SoC? destroying ccon? i remember doing an ending where Strelok imagined to get rich and then i did the ending where i destroyed the ccon thing

[main jewel]

id rather stalker stay in ukraine

[tight galleon]

Yeah, SoC ends with Strelok blasting ccon at the end

[main jewel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1266191471963410573/1502434962199019641/attachment.gif

[serene barn]

loaded in on my save on Stalker 2, sneak up on a Ward Exo at the gates to Chemical Plant and i take him down with 2 others nearby and then a ward guy spawns right on me...

[frigid axle]

why us scar worst ending

[shell flax]

If it does go to a new zone I want it to be even more horrid I won’t lie

[main jewel]

zombifies the whole zone

[visual mortar]

hehehe woah

[shell flax]

And doesn’t stop the expansion

[frigid axle]

damm, what ab the korkushnov one?

[tight galleon]

I mean to be fair with the zone completely uncontained in Skif's ending it could be ALOT worse

[vapid galleon]

well, it called "GSC moment" or "Stalker 2 moment" or "A-Life moment" buddy

[main jewel]

everyone becomes a zombie and in their heads is in a wonderland

[main jewel]

ward and the regulatory board now control all agents and have the power of mass surveillance

[shell flax]

Destroys the zone, gives mankind infinite energy but as a downside Agatha can see out of your eyes

[main jewel]

they can use the current agents

to spy on people

[main jewel]

this true

basically urm 1984

[shell flax]

To be fair ‘current agents’ is like
Eight people

[frigid axle]

oh noo she can see me poo

[meager crag]

All endings suck

Ez

[ruby gale]

[serene barn]

and it happened again....i guess i won't try to take these out for their loot. quietly

[main jewel]

well thats why we see a few tv’s open and ready not like all of them turn on

[frigid axle]

the cool ending which is the only one i did on S2 is the one where i let Strelok in the pod

[main jewel]

but also those could be skifs memories

[shell flax]

Exactly, which is why Red should’ve blown Strelok’s widows peak off in SoC

[tight galleon]

I mean, that's probably the "best" ending for the world all things considered, no room for new games either tho

[vapid galleon]

GO NORTH STALKER

[main jewel]

he might be right

[meager crag]

https://tenor.com/view/fist-of-the-north-star-hokuto-no-ken-kenshiro-thumbs-up-gif-18424526021065229372

[shell flax]

Skif didn’t go through the programming process, at most I think he’s essentially an unknowing surveillance camera

[main jewel]

lets cut into belarus

[marble gyro]

Two more days, and my stalker movie gets delivered

[ruby gale]

I've never done a single ending for stalker, and honestly I probably never will

[vapid galleon]

well you can leave now

[main jewel]

well its also why i think the tvs are just showing skifs memories cause on the tvs shows a guy infront of a tv on a couch so

[ruby gale]

3 more days and I get to play FH6

[meager crag]

Fr tho

[main jewel]

and skif did that every day

or something

[marble gyro]

Same man, same

[meager crag]

"CNPP is center of the Zone"

"Okay, so what's north of the CNPP?"

"Nothing"

Bro wat

[vapid galleon]

LMFAO

[ruby gale]

But after getting a pc I've been having a blast modding pd2

[main jewel]

belarus isnt real

[vapid galleon]

lmao and it doesn't exist in the game laspjlhjjlhjlashasll

[shell flax]

I honestly think it’s funny that the generators are the heart and the Stalkers somehow missed the fucking MEGASTRUCTURE

[meager crag]

It's mentioned in the lore

[shell flax]

Granted Stalkers as a whole are kinda stupid

And drunk

[vapid galleon]

let's Conquer Belgrad then

[main jewel]

urm taiwan is mentioned everywhere but some asian folks think its a psyop so erm maybe stalkers think the same way

[meager crag]

Wowzers

[plain star]

is the npc/mutant wallhacks fixed?

[marble gyro]

Yeah, update came out today

Buy stalker 2

[shell flax]

Actually thinking on it I’m more impressed the Zone doesn’t have a 100% fatality rate because everyone but Panas drinks lmao

[main jewel]

what even would be in belarus

[vapid galleon]

only masters will go there and and it only takes one to go

[meager crag]

Well, I'm not Asian, so I guess I know the truth

[shell flax]

Considering the current situation, nothing

[main jewel]

well id assume you only live till like 60 at most in the zone

[plain star]

bruh

[main jewel]

60 is lucky

[still current]

[meager crag]

Shamans

[main jewel]

60 is like staying in the rookie village all your life

[dreamy plover]

did you listen to the faceless mate?

[shell flax]

Truthfully I think the only people who live in the zone that are 40+ are gaffer, Warlock, Sidor, Strelok, Scar, Degtyarev and Scoutmaster

[marble gyro]

Yeah, I listened to some of their songs when we were talking about bands

[dreamy plover]

andddd

[marble gyro]

And I said they are pretty good

[main jewel]

degster my goat

[tight galleon]

Stalker 3 Strelok is completely bald, definitely

[dreamy plover]

if theyre good then idk really know whats better

[main jewel]

deggy was born in pripyat

lives in pripyat

[marble gyro]

Slaughter to prevail

[main jewel]

he probably goes to his old hoise

house

[shell flax]

Stalker 3 kicks off with a cutscene of Skif giving Strelok both barrels before smash cutting to credits

[dreamy plover]

why is it that you only get the option to use the Regenerator on Spirit if you do certain things...like there's no reason why we decide to keep that thing on us only if we're siding with specific people...

[still current]

https://tenor.com/view/iamrigbycat-gif-17122096475275233787

[still current]

Probably linked to dlc in the future

Limansk

There is no point in having one option otherwise it's planned to serve a purpose later (I hope I'm right)

[serene barn]

i'm currently making my way there to him on my Spark run but i no longer have the Regenerator on me.

i'm not fond of that type of thing

[still current]

Then you'll just get the other option to let him die

Easy

I think he would accept regardless of your side

Only his replies change either way

[serene barn]

like hey you're on the good guy path but listen because you asked nicely you don't need to extort information out of him by holding the 1 thing that could possibly save his life. so he's just gonna tell you and then die

[still current]

Hmm you sure about that? Do you know who spirit is? He's literally one of the original spark that was fucked over by scar

So, I'm not sure its the right path since scar twisted the whole faction to his delulu land style

[serene barn]

no i mean when i did my first run, i didn't side with Scar.

Spirit bled out

then, on my 2nd playthrough for Ward, i extorted him by using the regenerator to make him give me the information.

[still current]

Yes, neutral way would also grant you the generator if I'm not mistaken, so you not having it may be a bug or something

So, there is a way to save him in all variables where you don't throw the gen

[serene barn]

now on my 3rd playthrough, which is a Spark one. i don't have it so i assume i can't save him either.

[still current]

Yes

He's gonna curse you and die

[serene barn]

i just don't understand the plot reasoning that you'd know to keep that thing on you only if you're doing it for Ward

[still current]

A quest item that is part of the main story should have a need regardless. It's mandatory, but since some players may fail to see it, they would throw it away.

Thing is, originally, that item was not throwable in the first place

I remember suffering it's weight until I used it eventually and saved myself some extra room to carry

Point was that it was supposed to go to strider but since shit happened, it was stuck there until further progress which kinda felt super painful to most and maybe that's why it became dispensable

People like me would appreciate exploration over straight main story progress, so you could figure how painful that would be, running with that thing stuck on you

[serene barn]

it's marked as a quest item so you can't remove it. it's taken from you if you're not with the Ward, for no reason i recall

[still current]

I also remember launch patch being bugged, so I didn't even reach spirit. It was literally stuck and then despawn around burnt forest edge

[serene barn]

like it would've been nice to just keep it so you get that good feel from saving the guy

[still current]

No idea? So, the despawn still happens in the Ward run

Not exactly, sure, what I remember seems different

But we'll, my memory isn't really that dependable, so maybe I'm remembering wrong

[still current]

I had a ward run last time I played and I saved him

Lol

He cursed me and called me ward scum

[serene barn]

that's what i mean though

[still current]

But took the generator eventually

[serene barn]

like why do i gotta help Ward, one of the bad guys, just to have the option to save Spirit

[still current]

The only thing that triggered me is the guard from his squad

I wanted to shoot him for acting so tough and ungrateful

[fickle hill]

Just reload a save and pack him with lead

[serene barn]

it's a little funny how often the game really makes it clear that Scar isn't what he seems lol

[fickle hill]

Shove 900 rounds of shotgun ammo where the sun don't shine so he's just mist

[serene barn]

@still current say, if i do spark, Spirit dies but is mad at me?

[still current]

Yes, should be so

New spark fucked up real bad and has part in ending the real spark along the ward

[serene barn]

but, i found a recording in Orbita, that i just played for Spirit and it seemed to make him believe that there was more to things and then he told me about the bunker

[still current]

Not sure, I haven't played the spark run, so maybe he submits to the illusion scar gave and forgets about the grudge

Tell me if you do the mission

I want to correct myself if I'm mistaken

[still current]

4runs and I haven't killed him yet

Takes lots of resolve to not to lol

[serene barn]

the mission?

[still current]

Yes

[fickle hill]

Ward is the only faction to where he will live

[still current]

Oh, I forgot you don't have the generator

Well, idk

I can search it but I'd rather play it myself

[fickle hill]

Strelok he dies and spark he dies the regenerator just disappears after you escape from korsh

[serene barn]

well i am on my way to the bunker now. Spirit seemed at peace with passing.

[fickle hill]

Sounds about right

[serene barn]

i just wanted to still save him but i can't because the regenerator is taken from me lol.

[still current]

I dont know if it's a bug or not

Then

My memory got messed up now

[serene barn]

there was 2 Ward Exos in the bunker, that's new

oh wait no i think i hear more

3 exos, 1 lower tier warden

got the Diamond Exo, gonna see how it holds up now

hmm, against the SSP SIRCAA suit, it loses out in anomaly protection but it has max radiation protection, about 1/3rd less psi protection but max physical protection.

means i don't need to run a Compass artifact.

also gives me 25+ kg of carry weight

so i only need Weird water to hit the cap of 140kg

yeah i feel like Diamond is still the best suit in the game.

[marble gyro]

[deft plume]

[old aurora]

GSC did an amazing job making Skif's character

[tame panther]

You can make up for 12/05 with a Clear Sky DLC

[old aurora]

Skif is the definition of a true S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[waxen marten]

is Skif OP?

[small quest]

05/12

[charred nova]

Skif vs Goku

[old aurora]

Yeah. Pretty much. Is shown in the game to be definition of natural talent, battle iq, and perseverance. He has the best traits of each protag

[tame panther]

He no diffed the two other Zone Legends. Hes OP

[old aurora]

He's shown in the game to basically be an unstoppable force or nature

[meager crag]

He's PC

Playable Character

[old aurora]

Deggy is the only one I think could have beat Skif. But give Skif like an extra year or two in the Zone and he low-diffs Deggy

[meager crag]

Which makes him just as OP as all the other playable characters

[waxen marten]

Degtyarev would no scope him

[old aurora]

Skif is canonically only in the Zone for a month or two. And beat 2/3 legends of the Zone

[meager crag]

Like, let's be real

[proven hollow]

Mol1t ragebaiting again

[meager crag]

Those fights with Strelok and Scar are just unrealistic

[old aurora]

Not really

[meager crag]

They would just load a previous save and kill us

They canonically have that ability, same as Degtyarev

[tame panther]

For sure

...Is this a hint to Degtyarev killing Skif in the future

[old aurora]

Oh yeah. Can't forget that. But the boss fights were underwhelming af.

[tame panther]

Skif has more autosaves

[meager crag]

HoC moment

[old aurora]

Wish the Zone LEGENDS put up a better fight and fought more powerfully and agile. Like they are in the games (pretty sure)

[meager crag]

[old aurora]

Strelok is the only one to do that. And it's just quick dashes

[meager crag]

just make a game where you have to fight someone over and over again because he can keep reloading the save, only way to win the game is making him ragequit

[tame panther]

Im siding with Duty in the DLC, i always didnt like Duty. Byt i DESPISE what Freedom has become

[sage dew]

UGH*

Master difficulty + Poltergeists = not fun xD

[tame panther]

Sniper rifles are goated on them

[old aurora]

I'm siding with Duty since in-lore their goal is the best of any of the factions

[sage dew]

Noted - Clusterfuck worked nice in Veteran

[tame panther]

You want to destroy the Zone? MY ZONE?

[sage dew]

in veteran I finished with over 800 deaths ...

[old aurora]

It's killed so many people and all that's been shown is it brings out the worst in most. Freedom's idea isn't good. Matter of fact most people would join Duty. In-game things are gameified to be fun but if it was Irl very few people would come out of the Zone happy. If they make it out...

The reason people support Freedom is since we play as op sobs in each game. Irl we wouldn't. Without meta knowledge most of us would perish in the Zone

[old aurora]

Master, at swamps, got like 170 deaths

[primal nimbus]

I pick Mercs since the amount of tomfoolery those guys are involved with is funny

[sage dew]

Zone needs to engulf the earth, why? Well because earth is being run by Elite man-eating pedo-vampires xD it would sure end their regin and would probably cancel some other things like wars, before new zone related wars would start xD

[sage dew]

Oh god - the swamps I do not look forward to swamps xD

[serene barn]

which NVG is the best one?

[hardy totem]

The most expensive one I would presume

[serene barn]

see i've got 2 different Gen 3s and they're listed with the same value i think

[old aurora]

Gen 3B

3A is green 3B is blue

I'd just try them out before you sell them

[serene barn]

yeah i got thew 3B before i found 3As

[old aurora]

Only difference is color IIrc

[serene barn]

a part of me feels like the B one is a little more blurry but i'm not sure

[old aurora]

Watch some videos on it

I'm green colorblind so B is for me so I can't really say for sure

[hardy totem]

Green color signifies uncommon and blue signifies rare rarities, so stick with the blue one

[serene barn]

i found one of the changed stashes that now has a scoped MK1 in in it but like, idk why they'd even put this gun so late in the game when the SVU is literally just a better one

[meager crag]

I thought you were a Clear Sky sympathizer

[meager crag]

Again, look into Shaman lore

[old aurora]

Which game do they appear in?

[meager crag]

Clear Sky has the only Shaman NPC in the Trilogy

Mentioned in SoC tho

[tame panther]

I am
But i just really hate the new Freedom

[old aurora]

So are they like a cult or smn?

What do they do?

[meager crag]

Nah, just regular stalkers who aren't seen as hostile by the Zone

[old aurora]

So what happens to them if they're not seen as hostile? Does the C-Consciousness just ignore them?

Don't hit them with emissions?

[meager crag]

Same, HoC writing fr

[old aurora]

The writing is fine. It's not bad.

[meager crag]

Have you played the Trilogy?

[old aurora]

Not yet

[meager crag]

Exactly

[old aurora]

Fair enough

[meager crag]

Everyone gets hit by emissions tbf

But that's usually a whole topic of "Is it Zone controlled or C-Consciousness controlled?"

To which the Trilogy doesn't give an answer but hints towards the first

[old aurora]

Are they centralized in one region or just when they happen they occur everywhere in Zone?

[meager crag]

It's more on an individual basis

[old aurora]

Wdym? Like 1 region each?

[meager crag]

No, like, it's up to the person's mindset

The guy you're looking for is Hermit

[old aurora]

Are emissions hard to do by the C-Con?

[meager crag]

He's pretty well hidden so most people don't even meet him

[old aurora]

Why didn't they just do them all the time?

[old aurora]

Huh?

[meager crag]

That's never explained in the Trilogy, so I've got no answer for you

As for Desdocs and HoC, I'm pretty sure those lean towards C-Consciousness doing them

But I see the Trilogy and HoC as separate canons

And desdocs are just desdocs

[serene barn]

in what way has Freedom changed?

[meager crag]

Freedom was more about researching the Zone, letting people in the Big Land know what's up and challenging anyone who wants to control or fight the Zone

But the new one seems more focused around economy

[old aurora]

I looked it up and it says they are released built up energy from the Noosphere

[meager crag]

Fanfic or HoC lore?

[old aurora]

So they're done to prevent C-Con systems from being overwhelmed but not done constantly to avoid letting the barrier fully fall

[meager crag]

I imagine you looked it up on the STALKER wiki?

[old aurora]

Idk ai overview.

[meager crag]

Oh

Wow

Yikes bro

[old aurora]

I'll do dedicated research later. Busy rn

[meager crag]

https://tenor.com/view/headbanging-cat-headbang-cat-metal-cat-heavy-metal-cat-gif-21213763

[meager crag]

The thing with the STALKER wiki is that it's full with fanfic, so the best source is always the games themselves

Which I imagine the AI took the info from

[serene barn]

i'm certain that the trilogy explained that the emissions is a result of excess energy being built up and being released...

i think even the c-con guy in SoC explains it to Strelok

[meager crag]

Yep, but not in SoC

One sec, I'll grab a pic

@serene barn @old aurora

[serene barn]

see idk because

[old aurora]

Thanks

[serene barn]

in Clear Sky they paint it like they don't know about the C-Con and thinks it's the Zone doing it as a response to Strelok making his way closer and closer to the CNPP

but in HoC it appears that higher up in Clear Sky, was working with C-Con as it turns out that Scar was made an agent back then.

[meager crag]

Inb4 you're going to mention HoC fanfic

Yep

Called it

Reminder that HoC was made by a different GSC and didn't do full research

[serene barn]

i think that Emissions ARE excess energy being released. but i also think the C-Con could trigger them early and that i think, is why they happened more in Clear Sky because C-Con knew Strelok and his group was trying to get to the CNPP.

excess energy from the C-Con's unstable connection due to 1 body being missing and the damage done to the machinery they used to connect

[meager crag]

Okay, I know this is theory crafting, which I am usually against, but consider the following

Before the events of Clear Sky, there were occasionally emissions

[serene barn]

yuh

[meager crag]

But during the events of Clear Sky, Strelok went beyond the Scorcher and the Zone started spewing out Emission after Emission

During the events of Shadow of Chernobyl, we only see one Emission happen

All the way at the end of the game

[serene barn]

i think that was due to the C-Con making it happen more often to try to stop him from getting ther

[meager crag]

And during the events of Call of Pripyat, emissions happen every single day

[serene barn]

haven't replayed CoP yet but i don't remember it being a daily thing

[meager crag]

With the assumption that CoP is sticking to the events of SoC and disregarding HoC entirely, the most likely ending of SoC would be Strelok destroying C-Consciousness, which the Representative tells us was to keep the Zone from expanding

And suddenly after that happened, emissions are starting to appear every single day

https://tenor.com/view/coincidence-i-think-not-coincidence-i-think-not-the-incredibles-gif-5096707

Now, this alongside SoC having only one emission can obviously just be a gameplay thing

Another thing worth considering is why the Zone was constantly spewing out emissions during CS but not during SoC

[serene barn]

i think another thing is that SoC was the first so features changed over the next games but they didn't yet know what to do with the emissions

[meager crag]

Yeah, so it could just be a gameplay thing

We really don't know

But seen how Clear Sky acts and what the Representative says in the Trilogy, I personally doubt it's controlled by the Group

[serene barn]

i have a video in my Watch Later list on youtube that i will watch after my playthrough just in case it spoils the story i've not yet seen.

you know i'm listening to a video from Dugout about Psy-Emissions and i forgot that the old trailers used models of people that looked entirely different than what they would in the game

like Strelok

or Strider, or would be strider, wearing a mask covering his face

[plucky jewel]

Lebedev in the begining of CS says that someone, Strelok, was upsetting the Zone and causing the rapid release of emissions

[frigid axle]

ohhh that's why there aren't no emissions in SoC

lowk imma replay CS

[plucky jewel]

The only emission in SoC is at the very end when your entering the CNPP

[frigid axle]

oh wait yeahhh

[robust pendant]

And this is backed up by SoC too in a way, there is only an emission when everyone is trying to reach the center. Its inconsistent, yeah, because in CS its not like they are always trying to get close to the CNPP, but still

[main jewel]

by the way, items are indeed persistent in vanilla S2, how else would static pre placed loot stay then?

yes pre placed loot can't No clip underground, but also loot that you drop can't no clip underground, unless you do it on purpose, like dropping items very near a wall

[serene barn]

i still wonder what gun the description of the APSB was supposed to be for because it clearly wasn't it

[frigid axle]

what is it like

[plucky jewel]

How much would I have to pay GSC to add the Trench Coat from CoP into S2 in a future update?

[serene barn]

"A silenced pistol, once a staple of the Soviet Special Forces. In the zone, it quickly became a tool of choice for discreetly resolving all manner of problems."

apparently the slide, slides back when trying to fire but having no ammo when you're aimed down sights lol.

[plucky jewel]

I think GSC was going add the PB1s but replaced it with the APSB

[serene barn]

with there being attachments in 2 that wouldn't really make sense

but idk how you leave that in for so long when it feels like it'd be such an easy thing to fix

[plucky jewel]

The PB1s wouldn't have any attachment capabilities other than a High Capacity Magazine and maybe a Sight Rail

I have seen a weapon mod pack that adds the PB1s to S2, sorta

i dont think a roadmap makes any sense by now , they only need to update alife , engine and make the dlcs

[hazy haven]

it looks like Stalker 2 development is coming to an end. No Dev blogs, devs are absolutely quiet for months

[hazy haven]

Yes, that is called a roadmap, isn't it?

[still edge]

but GSC been way too quiet, i would at least wanna know what plans are for Alife, i asked in #📜┃gsc-answers but they dont seem to answer

[still edge]

Roadmap

• DLC cost of hope
• alife update
• engine update

happy?

[visual mortar]

i dont aee no road

[charred nova]

Wrong order

[hazy haven]

not because you are not dev

[still edge]

its like making a todo list

• clean house
• work

[visual mortar]

this is a shelf map

[charred nova]

There is a dlc coming sometime in the next 3 months

[still edge]

why you want GSC to say in a roadmap

• engine update -alife update and - dlc
  we already know 2 out of 3 of those features are coming

[charred nova]

Why release a new roadmap

We haven’t finished the old one

[hazy haven]

It would be nice if GSC were more transparent with the community and not shut off from communication for months. This doesnt helping to game

[still edge]

just asking for roadmap for no reason, its like you asking for a placebo or something

[charred nova]

They have been this way since the war don’t expect it to ever change

[still edge]

thats true, but roadmap makes no sense

a roadmap should have a list of detailed features , at the very least more then 12 features

[charred nova]

We have begged and begged for gsc to change there ways going on 4 years

They simply just won’t

[still edge]

either they

• dont want to commit to promises that they cant realize
• or they want to keep in close lips because they want to surprise us

if they genuinely want to surprise us, then its fine by me

[charred nova]

The surprise angle is rough considering how much disappointment has been delivered but

[still edge]

then it makes sense to not commit to any promises like saying "we are planning to make a full economy overhaul" to then realize its a way toughter task and have to back down on the promises

[proven hollow]

imagine putting an engine upgrade and binoculars in a 2025 roadmap and then still not being able to deliver that half a year into 2026

[plucky jewel]

The only things I want added in S2: Trench Coat from CoP, Some Weapons from the Old Games brought back, and Limansk (including the Old Hospital)

[proven hollow]

they should add a smoking hot tampico to stalker 2

[visual mortar]

[proven hollow]

shame those don't exist

[visual mortar]

someone thinks they exist

[charred nova]

You’re handsome Tampico don’t let them keep you down king

[small quest]

People seem to be quite happy with the overall game if they only want some guns adding?

The game feels like it's tied together with some loose string at the moment. Everytime they tighten something, something else falls out. I would hazard a guess that they really don't have a handle on the systems in game yet.

I mean hopefully engine upgrade fixes this but at the same time, it's a huge upheaval. I'm not overly optimistic about whats coming.

[exotic bane]

i called the happening department and they said shits gonna go down

[river chasm]

I think if anything is actually gonna happen at this point there will be an announcement of some sort first

[visual mortar]

you think so?

nah they're gonna drop a full game rework silently you watch

[river chasm]

When was the last time GSC ever dropped anything by surprise

[visual mortar]

what??? why is there a 250gb update....??????

[visual mortar]

everything from GSC is a surprise 🩷

[keen topaz]

did they do something im playing right now

[balmy bay]

guys just started my first run in 2.0, the update looks pretty promising but im not sure replacing gaffer with a talking flesh was a good idea

[hazy haven]

game feels unfinished, incomplete, or even abandoned in some cases (like still existing mutant spawn bug that devs can't fix for some reason, or Walls that are not Walls because objects can freely fly through). And for a player, it just doesn't seem that Devs are doing enough about it. Especially when patches are less and less frequent than the pace that we saw in the first year

I really wish do be more positive about it, sorry

And these things are not even player wishes

[keen topaz]

Let them cook, they’re working under literal bombardment, so the fact that the game even launched is pretty incredible

[visual mortar]

if Albert Einstein was Mexican, he would be Alberto Ernesto

[small quest]

Agree entirely with this, it's a total mess. I can't even feign a playthrough as it's just not worth the time. Playing an early access version of a game, hoping it might get fixed at some point.

The last 2/3 updates have been terrible. I'm not talking about new content, i think that's a diversion for the amount of crap not fixed.

[serene barn]

i really hope they fix whatever they've done to the spawn system. it just feels bad when i leave a location, i run to a trader, then when i run by the location on the way to loot one i haven't yet been to, there's already new dead bodies having been spawned there and even mutant bodies too. i'm really not gonna be happy if the DLC has the same issue.

albert ep…

[dreamy dagger]

S2?

[visual mortar]

albert episode

[digital geyser]

This is just completely untrue. Theres nothing quite like Stalker 2 out in the market and the stuff that is there and works is still a great time. Mods just increase this sentiment and if you disagree thats fine but saying its a terrible experience is just lying. Ive done like 5 playthroughs and always have a fun time

[solid trench]

Hopefully this update comes with weapon fov

[small quest]

suppose that entirely depends on the amount of bugs you encounter? I'm not using mods, not since they break after every update.

I'm not saying it's not got good there, I'm saying it's a mess.

The world is 10/10 — like you say nothing like it.

The rest is like 6/10.

[dreamy dagger]

With the wallhacky AI?

[golden gulch]

Another hype media post? Mol1t please rush GSC

[dreamy dagger]

Where?

Another useless post into the useless channel of uselessness?

[golden gulch]

#📺┃media message

[dreamy dagger]

Oh, I'm not interested in that

I thoght they made another uselessnnouncement in the uselessnnouncement channel

[serene barn]

ah so they did put the drum mag in for the grom

[meager crag]

Yeah

[meager crag]

Cute

I mean, it's literally in the sentence

[dreamy dagger]

Acute door?

[meager crag]

Bcute door?

[dreamy dagger]

[frigid axle]

let's not talk about the Mosin, who tf would put a rail modification like that, it would surely damage it

[sharp sierra]

It's a garbage rod it's fine lol! Incidentally Google the syrian war modified mosins, modern optics, PKM barrel replacement and so on

[frigid axle]

wym, installing a rail like that on that part on the Mosin would be totally not good and cause problems soon

[sharp sierra]

Sorry I was being mean to the mosin not serious. Though the Syrian ones are quite nice. Incidentally a guy I chat to on twitter got himself a bubbad k31 and its actually really nice especially for the price he paid

[frigid axle]

That looks like a Modern Mosin model or smt-

[meager crag]

Where does the Mosin begin and where does it end?

At this point, is it still a Mosin?

[sharp sierra]

I am looking at 1 with an m4 style stock and a quad rail some questions are better off not asked!

[serene barn]

looted what i think is in Jupiter. now i go to Yaniv to sell things and then i will ry to get to Prip without getting in any fights so i can have as much space on me to loot a lot of guns during the assault on the Corps guys

[slender abyss]

Since I sold the Riemann smg can I require it in late game? I am in my main save rn

[main jewel]

um.. no??? its perfectly fine sitting over the bolt carrier group and allat

like

[meager crag]

Afraid not, that's a unique weapon

[main jewel]

maybe the value of it would go down

[still edge]

it only makes sense if GSC is working overtime to do the engine update, engine update is not an easy thing to do , but its crucial for the future of the game

[slender abyss]

Damn it

[main jewel]

but its perfectly fine

itll sure get damaged if you rip it off

[serene barn]

lol, the normal ones basically do the same so you can just find another

[main jewel]

evil ass mosin

with the most retarded scope

[meager crag]

Night vision scope fr

[slender abyss]

But how after I sold the unique gun how can I get that gun back later on in game??

[meager crag]

Reloading a previous save

[slender abyss]

Well kinda cant

My main save is in extremely late game I am in pripyat

[serene barn]

you cannot get the Riemann back if you sold it and that trader's stock has been cycled. it's a unique gun and there is only 1 of it. it is from the Edition of the game you bought. however, the uniques from the Edition aren't like notiably better than the normal gun. in fact some of them even have their own downsides. the Riemann is an Integral-A that just has a modification preapplied to it but it also cannot use the suppressor and suppressors are pretty helpful in this game.

[meager crag]

Yeah, honestly, those unique weapons are just nothing more than a skin

There's barely any difference with the original

[slender abyss]

Google says I can go back to the stash later on in game and I see

[slender abyss]

Well um can I get the extended mag again from the intergal smg? I will just call it the vector

[serene barn]

normally uniques have different things such as more durability and or different stats.

[slender abyss]

Since it was sold with the attachments

[serene barn]

yeah there's extra of those mags, just gotta find another. i think i've seen 5 of them, its almost a little much lol

[slender abyss]

Man I wish I can require the unique gun ;-;

[serene barn]

i've kept all the unique guns

[slender abyss]

I could of in my main save but I might go back to the stash on the new save

[main jewel]

dude raemann is not just a fucking skin its a unique variant

the monolith uniques are skins

the raiemenann

is a custom model

with red colors

thats what i want out of uniques

[meager crag]

Yes, I know, but you know what I mean

[main jewel]

its like a cod blueprint

[meager crag]

The stats are nearly identical

[main jewel]

cod blueprint is a better way to put it

original warzone days

ougg

[slender abyss]

Srry for asking u guys just want the gun back in stalker 2

[serene barn]

there's really no reason to because like i said, it's actually a slightly worse version.

[meager crag]

Yeah

[slender abyss]

Ok how do I get the normal version then?

[meager crag]

If you really want it back simply because of the look, you'll have to go back to an earlier save or replay the game if you don't have one

[serene barn]

only noticable thing about that one is the fact it's a lot cheaper than the normal one for some reason. which means it should be cheaper to repair.

[meager crag]

But the original is basically the same

[slender abyss]

I am to lazy to Google it

[serene barn]

i remember a yellow worn one in Cement Factory

[slender abyss]

I just feel bad for asking u guys

[serene barn]

@slender abyss have you done the new X-18 mission?

[slender abyss]

Yea on the other save

On the main save I couldn't sadly ;-;

[serene barn]

what save are you on now

[slender abyss]

The main save the other save is in simi late game I already have the riemann

I just don't have the diamond exoskeleton which is late game and I have the ssp 100m sircaa but I can't get the third radiation protection until late game

[serene barn]

well i can show you where a normal one is unless you've already taken it before.

[slender abyss]

Hmm idk if I have taken a normal one tho

[serene barn]

i onlly got the Diamond yesterday and before that i almost exclusively used the SPP-100 SIRCAA suit

[slender abyss]

Well in my main save I almost fully upgraded the diamond suit so yea

So if I fully upgrade the vector it becomes good if I like that kind of smg?

[river chasm]

Once you are around mid game the integral should start showing up regularly enough on enemies

[serene barn]

yeah, the only other smg that might be better is the Bizon

[slender abyss]

Ah ok

[meager crag]

Nah dawg, don't worry about it

[slender abyss]

Oh ok coolio

[serene barn]

the difference between the Riemann and a normal Vector is that the Riemann has slightly more range but putting a suppressor on a normal one will make it have more range. the other bars are the same expect that the Riemann is missing a modification to reduce either your Recoil or your hipfire spread, which is another downside for the Riemann.

[deep saddle]

[slender abyss]

Ok so regular one is better got it

[still edge]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZFVJYU9_Rwk?feature=share new gsc short

[marble gyro]

Riemann is better

Also

Why would you care about range? The gun is a mid-short range you shoot it in bursts that would immediately dump your magazine

[nova valley]

I've just returned to Stalker 2 after a full year break. Is it just me, or did the AI became even dumber than it was previously ? NPC's are shooting at each other without moving / looking for cover, just standing in place

[marble gyro]

Sorry to say
