[lilac blaze]

They didn't really give alotta loot lol

[graceful horizon]

(it's in the order first time entering maps, so it's possible of getting the dark valley ones before the garbage ones)

[lilac blaze]

Gotya

Wait are those the flash drive quests?

[graceful horizon]

no, those you can get any time

but those don't increase reputation

[lilac blaze]

So like would the stone flower quest in the swamps count?

[graceful horizon]

yes

that's not a radiant mission, just a one time mission that's a prerequisite for other missions

[lilac blaze]

Gotya. So is 3 bars of negative rep enough for them to be insta hostile or still neutral?

[graceful horizon]

not at all, they need to reach red

and that's 7 bars in the wrong direction

[late condor]

Counting in bars again?

[lilac blaze]

Gotya.

[graceful horizon]

what other gameplay element should we count? : )

[lilac blaze]

Alrighty back to the swamps then lol

Thank you for the assistance btw

[graceful horizon]

anytime

[lilac blaze]

But after this stone flower one others should start unlocking?

[graceful horizon]

I don't think it's the last clear sky fetch mission, but if it is the cordon ones should unlock

[lilac blaze]

Gotya. Then garbage then dark valley?

[graceful horizon]

if you entered the garbage before you entered the dark valley, yes

[lilac blaze]

Sweet. Sucks garbage is currently full of bandits but it's ok. You get these from squad leaders in areas yea?

[graceful horizon]

yes

[lilac blaze]

I'm just asking cuz that's gonna be hard I'm garbage cuz uh. Barely any loners in garbage lol

[graceful horizon]

just 2 loner fetch missions there

[lilac blaze]

Ah good.

[graceful horizon]

you should be fine with the flea market and another random squad

[lilac blaze]

Sick

[late condor]

it doesn't work like that

any other task is locked while another is offered, you can finish swamps and instantly go for warehouses skipping cordon

there's no requirement to do locations in order as long as you don't ask for tasks on other locations

once you have a quest offered, you need to complete it pretty much, but if you don't ask, you can get mw quests from the beginning of the game

[graceful horizon]

I'm not sure that's right

in my last playthrough the garbage missions were unavailable till I did the dark valley ones

[lilac blaze]

I'm currently on the 1 where you need to get the medkit from the military

[graceful horizon]

and the only thing I did differently was entering the dark valley before the garbage to circumvent bandits checkpoints

[lilac blaze]

I can try and test it.

[graceful horizon]

yeah that would be tight

[lilac blaze]

You are correct. Also just found a dude called swat officer decked out in an exo suit

[graceful horizon]

Swat officer?

make a screenshot

not familiar with that one and doesn't seem random

[lilac blaze]

Also uh does anyone in cordon sell silencers?

[lilac blaze]

Mutants just ate the rookie village

[graceful horizon]

really? that's rare. I've only seen that happen when I actively baited them

though marked matt had it happen too

if you eliminate the mutants new loners should spawn in

[lilac blaze]

Yup I'm not too worried tbh was just unexpected

I did clear out the military Outpost. Except for one dude

So what's the reason the loners like don't fight back when they're attacked in garbage? I know why they don't move but why don't they fight back?

[graceful horizon]

they should fight back, maybe bandits get stuck in the pre-assault stage where they lay down suppressing fire till something triggers them to actually attack

in that stage defenders don't react yet for some reason

a mechanic generally intended for the player to catch up so they don't miss the action, as far as I can tell

[lilac blaze]

Gotya uh I watched your video again is it recommended to let the faction war play out a bit more before killing the duty squad so the freedom/duty war can proceed easier?

[graceful horizon]

if they take that one critical point at the garbage, you could wait a bit to see if there's a moment where both point's you need to take are only occupied by single squads, coulds save you some reputation damage

[zealous lantern]

Funny enough, if you're neughtral or friend with both factions, and take a quest to clear an outpost from the rival faction, they will come and start shooting, but as long as you (the player) stay aside and not touch anyone, no one will die. they will just keep spraying bullets at each other, but not single NPC will get hit

I thought I could fool the game this way for some easy money, but the game fooled me

[graceful horizon]

yeah but a single bullet from you as player is enough to trigger the actual fight

[lilac blaze]

Like shooting someone directly or just firing a shot?

[graceful horizon]

needs to be a hit

[lilac blaze]

Ah

[graceful horizon]

might need to make a kill to get a reward, but I can't recall for sure

@modern girder you said you needed help with a faction wars thing?

[modern girder]

Im in the freedom faction..and i hsvr too take over a little spot in ahrprom (the entrance too the north..i already have thr south) bit nobody is coming

[graceful horizon]

have you checked if a squad got stuck in the garbage? they might not show up on the map

[modern girder]

Theres nothing

[graceful horizon]

has freedom taken the base in the army warehouse?

[modern girder]

Bro

Im in clear sky

[graceful horizon]

let me rephrase, what point are you at in the main story

[modern girder]

Yantar

[graceful horizon]

good

[terse crypt]

It often takes long for the faction to send a squad

[modern girder]

How long

[terse crypt]

Anywhere between 20 seconds and 20 minutes

[modern girder]

I can NOT go back into SLAVERY

[graceful horizon]

okay, my best guess is that you cleared a point before a freedom squad spawned to take it, it's always best to wait with attacking till there's a squad ready to take it

[tawdry cargo]

20 minutes? Hell nah I've waited 3 hours sometimes

[modern girder]

MY FREEDOM FACTION MEMBERS ARE ALL MORONS!!!!!!

[terse crypt]

[tawdry cargo]

Twice I've waited between 1-2 hours and once 3 hours

[modern girder]

I rather want too experience that Vova Vist eradication in the Cordon rather than wait for a squad

[graceful horizon]

then you're gonna have a bad time with the faction wars

[modern girder]

Im gonna do the thing that Tremor did in that one mission in call of pripyat

[graceful horizon]

[modern girder]

Exactly

[graceful horizon]

best advice I can give for faction wars: you're there to support the faction, not the other way around. It's best to follow squads that get send out and make sure they survive where ever they go, not clear everything and hope they catch up

[tawdry cargo]

Guess I'm just too good. They just can't keep up

[graceful horizon]

yeah, they get embarrassed and lose all motivation

[lavish jungle]

i did it guys,i got the true ending for SoC

CS is the only game i haven't finished from the trilogy

[tawdry cargo]

F

[unborn pawn]

go finish it

I lobe Clear Sky

[tawdry cargo]

I lobe clear sky

[lavish jungle]

yeah,i'll do that

and then i can play stalker 2

I have to say,man was that exhausting

Wasn't even that hard,just exhausting

[dense sapphire]

I lobe clear sky

I have been replaying the original Trilogy (no mods) after completing Stalker 2’s campaign, I’m on Call of Prypiat now (I had played SoC before HoC came out so I’ve played CS and now am playing CoP)

[terse crypt]

Peak

[dense sapphire]

It’s really nice to refresh on the old games before seeing the locations again in S2

[terse crypt]

Its really nice to play stalker games that actually work :3

[young ridge]

Wait until it wont work the next day

[terse crypt]

It will

[lavish jungle]

Damn stalker 2 still has issues?

[young ridge]

If it does, praise monalit, if it dont, praise the Ukrainian autistic genius

[young ridge]

Its a stalker game nuntheless. Course the fckin thing gonna have issues right away maybe for as long as it exists

[terse crypt]

Nahh
The game is perfectly fine
Its just small stuff now
Like gamebreaking bugs, horrible optimization, tons of glitches, broken quests etc...
Small stuff

[dense sapphire]

Basically just like the old games at launch

[young ridge]

Nope

[terse crypt]

Ehh
The old games were nowhere near this broken

[young ridge]

Game is a downgrade compared to the original trilogy, old mechanics and features that nade stalker THE stalker aint there anymore and the only thing thats still the same is the amount of bugs and stuff

[terse crypt]

Gotta love how the trilogy has better ragdoll physics

Regardless of the pc u have, it is bllshite that stalker games runs as smooth as butter anytime every time

[lavish jungle]

Idk what to tell you man,but i haven't had a single issue with stalker

like no crashes,no bugs,no nothing

[young ridge]

I had it all.

[lavish jungle]

Guess i got extremely lucky

[young ridge]

God tier

U either lying, forgot if any happened by now cuz u dont play that much, or just devine intervention

[lavish jungle]

I'm being truthful,as i do remember well when a game crashed on me

[young ridge]

Ill be damned. Well cany argue much. Maybe i just had a fcked up luck

[open copper]

mine only crashed when entering dark valley for the first time

had to reload a old save before entering to fix it

[late condor]

Eh. CoP was fine.

[dense sapphire]

Fair

[late condor]

CoP was in all regards different from the first two entires. Reasonably scoped, announced when the game was halfway done, not at the start of development, shipped on time with 0 delays, very good level of QA & polish with it being more stable on release than the other two are now.

Cut content too! CoP is like 95% true to how it was conceived. You open desdocs and read basically scenes exactly as they appear in the game.

[dense sapphire]

Speaking of CoP, I got so used to the generous autosaves in HoC, I forgot to quick save just now and lost an hour of progress.

[late condor]

Makes it even funnier S2 went to repeat SoC’s mistakes again. I know it’s fully new team and GSC is a Theseus ship, but still ironic.

[late condor]

LotZ implements similar autosave system, it makes a save at a start of a new quest.

Not a fan of LotZ but it’s definitely a good change. Wish it was toggleable though.

[dense sapphire]

My friends got to hear me realize my foolishness in real time

Now I gotta go back to Preobrazhenskyi Bridge again, damn you Ranger Station quest for Owl

Find me a game made today that isnt buggy on launch 😂 ill wait

[terse crypt]

Modding on consoles is extremely limited and not worth anyones time
Thats why nobody makes mods for it

[late condor]

GSC put out lots of limitations for console modding which means that mods can’t go further than asset replacers sadly

No gameplay edits, no texts, no configs

No levels and no spawns

It’s not going to become any better unless GSC removes those limits

[round field]

Aw dang

Appreciate the answers @late condor @terse crypt

[trail ice]

they should rename #category-rules to trilogy-category-rules and #1215013259740979320 to trilogy-console-bug-reports

[heady dune]

Guys, best mods to replay the trilogy for modernising them a bit but stay true to vanilla?

[open copper]

idk dont think it needs them

[late condor]

For replaying CS SRP is a good choice

not really true to vanilla but fixes quite a few issues

[terse crypt]

I would say in most cases best choice for that are upgraded engines

[whole geyser]

^

[zealous lantern]

Wound't probably call these the best mods, but that's what I was playing with and what felt modernised enough for me:
SoC: ZRP, Absolute Nature, Absolute Structures.
CS: SRP, Absolute Nature, Absolute Structures, AtmosFear.
CoP: Absolute nature, Absolute Structures (+ vanilla spawn location mod), AtmosFear.

[whole geyser]

I'd skip ZRP

[young ridge]

Ooh momolit

Blow this man's anus to smithereens

[zealous lantern]

makes sense, kinda? I see a lot of people don't really like ZRP because it went far beyond just bug fixes and vanilla

though personally I didn't notice much difference. maybe because the last time before that I played like 5 years ago, idk. overall felt good for me

but sure, it's not a must have mod

[terse crypt]

No reason to use ZRP when you can just slap an upgraded engine in the game instead
Bugfixes, no gameplay changes, improved performance, improved loading time...
Better on all fronts

[rotund saddle]

so all 3 channels were merged into one? lel

[whole geyser]

Yes

People ended up talking about the other games in all the other channels as it was

[rotund saddle]

I think we should merge trilogy with 2 as well

people post S2 screenshots in the trilogy section all the time anyway

[whole geyser]

No and that should be fixed now

If people could read they also would post content in correct areas

[rotund saddle]

yeah, like clear sky stuff in the now missing clear sky channel

[rotund saddle]

how is it fixed?

[rotund saddle]

people still can't read

[whole geyser]

[open copper]

nah should be unmerged if anything

[rotund saddle]

merge everything into 1 channel

[open copper]

i can get behind that

[whole geyser]

there will be one channel and thats the clear sky channel and deviation from clear sky is a ban

From what Kuro told be about thr story Im not happy to say the least
Even some bigger stuff like Monolith still being around feels like a cheap fanfic and inability to move from the status quo

[dense axle]

Yeah I was interested in the beginning, mostly when I thought the story could pivot in some interesting way

It's just continued to go in the opposite direction I could have wanted

Some sections were cool but they did not last nearly long enough

Who knows, maybe the ending is awesome

The atmosphere is pretty neat at certain times, I can't deny

I wish the balance was good though

[stiff widget]

It's not that awesome

Just fun

[dense axle]

That's good enough for me, I won the game in the giveaway anyway

If I spent 60+ dollars this would be a different story

0%

[harsh heath]

just finished cop and the ending sucks man

it's like

having a party cake and shitting on top of it instead of putting a cherry

[dense sapphire]

CoP is probably my least favorite game tbh

the gameplay is fine but the story is just… not all that great

[harsh heath]

agreed

they nailed the side quests tho

[dense sapphire]

Absolutely 100%

CoP has the most enjoyable side quests

but the Military should not be totally bamboozled by the idea that anomalies move around after emissions, nor should they really not know what a bloody Gauss Rifle is (I mean they encountered plenty of them during Operation Monolith in SoC)

Hell the military’s been there the longest out of anyone

[harsh heath]

i was kinda hoping the helicopter accidents to be related with the giant gauss under zaton

or some cc plan

now i gotta wait for HoC to release in PS5 :(

[stable copper]

Which is best weapon in shadow of Chernobyl? Trying to get best one to complete first play through

[misty mesa]

Not sure what's objectively the best weapon. I think most Stalkers towards the end will carry F200, GP37, SA Avalanche or the Tundra S14 etc. If it has armour piercing rounds, then it's probably a really good shooter

[rotund saddle]

Vintar BC

[dense sapphire]

Gauss Rifle if you can get it

[graceful horizon]

Best weapon really is a matter of taste and situation

My favorite for all round use is the BC Vintar

[dense axle]

I like the AK

[eternal iris]

FN2000 is the best stats-wise (iirc), but only accessible either through a bug or VERY late locations like CNPP

not bad, needs more Stalker though

[terse crypt]

Its the least linear of the three
But also most empty one

Big open maps with lackluster Alife are a bad combo

[dense sapphire]

Clear Sky is probably the most linear imo

I mean there is technically only two endings, and one of them technically is just a non-canon failing one.

[light shuttle]

¿two endings?

[dense sapphire]

I say two because technically during the final sequence you can fail to disable Strelok’s psi-protection and there is an audio thing from Lebedev before the player is killed. It has no cutscene and isn’t considered a canon ending but it is an outcome during the final mission

[pale nebula]

Lackluster A-Life? Call of Pripyat has the most refined A-Life out of the three.

[modern girder]

In the console version of clear sky theres a mod which turns bolts into boxes

It makes bolts useless for the entire game but its fun af too throw boxes at ppl

[late condor]

No movement of NPCs between levels and no offline simulation at all results in it feeling very lackluster compared to SoC and CS.

[pale nebula]

That's because maps aren't connected the traditional way. You can only move from one to another with a guide. What do you mean offline?

[late condor]

I’m aware of the reasoning behind it but if greatly limits the possible scenarios you can see, the other two games are way less predictable because of that.

Offline simulation is when NPCs move and fight when outside the simulation bubble (beyond the switch distance), such as when the player is on another level or just far enough away. That doesn’t happen in CoP, any kind of fights and movement only happen when you’re within 150m of those NPCs.

[pale nebula]

I didn't know about the bubble. I thought only 2 had it. In Call of Pripyat, I remember seeing a four way fight between a chimera, blind dogs and pseudodogs, fleshes and boars and a few zombified stalkers happening in Volkhov AA Complex while I was atop the Cooling Tower. I don't know the distance exactly, but it was far enough for me to need binoculars to watch it closely. Similarly, I watched a large pack of blind dogs and a huge group of rodents fighting together against a pseudogiant and overcoming him. I've never seen A-Life fights this grand and intense in the first two games.

[late condor]

If you see something physically, even through a binoculars then it’s already online simulation. The difference in S1 is that stuff that’s loaded does not unload upon you getting further, it only unloads once a level changes.

Afaik SoC did have offline sim only for movement (NPCs moved between levels freely without player involvement) but not fighting, CS had offline fights as well which you could observe in your PDA. CoP has neither.

[pale nebula]

Yes, but, realistically, as a gamer, I'd rather witness large, intense and interesting A-Life fights even if they are centered around you, so to speak, as to see them and enjoy them, than watching colored dots "duking it out" in real time on the PDA. I'm not saying A-Life is inferior in Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky, I'm saying A-Life in Call of Pripyat is made so the player can see it in action more often, with different possible outcomes. Also, Call of Pripyat maps have more interactions between NPCs and/or mutants than the other two, especially if the mutant related tasks have been completed, which is a big irony. Yes, I understand, if you stay in the Yanov station, nothing will happen more than 150 m away from you. Then again, what's the point of staying in one place and not seeing anything instead of getting out there and experiencing it first hand?

I mean, as a gamer, not a modder or a person who understands the intricacies of the game, would you rather see these interactions between AI even if they sort of follow your bubble, or just stand somewhere, see nothing, but know that somewhere, some NPCs are fighting?

[civic gate]

CoP had good gunplay but man gameplay was so bland

[pale nebula]

Doing all the sidequests, keeping all the important characters alive, hunting for artifacts and collecting guns was definitely not bland to me, at least. Call of Pripyat doesn't work if you rush it. You can rush Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky (to a lesser extent), but rushing Call of Pripyat will make you miss on a lot of fun stuff and make the game feel boring.

[civic gate]

I'll save it for later ig

i just prefer the gameplay of first two

[pale nebula]

What is ig?

[pale nebula]

Shadow of Chernobyl has a much better ending set piece, you go through the most awesome area of the whole series, CNPP, so it's impossible to beat that. Clear Sky also has an urgency feeling to it and the ending set piece is top notch too. Call of Pripyat has a much tamer vibe, there's no feel of impending danger, but it has its own advantages, some of which I've mentioned.

[terse crypt]

The point of Alife is NPCs and mutants doing stuff while the player is away so you can see how the world has changed in your absence

For example whenever I got hunting for artifacts in Zaton, I first go to the Scar passing the camp between Skadovsk and Ranger Station, I meet a squad of loners there
Once I finish my hunt that takes me around the whole map they havent moved an inch
Thats no fun

[pale nebula]

I totally see your point and I agree. All I'm saying is that instead of finding dead bodies throughout the map, I prefer seeing the action that leads to those bodies, even if I have to be there to witness it.

[terse crypt]

Id rather have the action not be player centered
It kills the point of open world with life simulation

Like, how would you feel if you had an aquarium with fish and the fish only moved when you looked at them?

[pale nebula]

Also, NPCs DO move around the map. Once, while in Pripyat, after choosing to remain in the Zone after the ending, I sold some high tier weapons to some expert loners hanging in the Laundromat. I sold a FT-200M, an RP-74, a SVDm and a G-36. After a while, doing multiple weapon runs to Yanov to sell guns found in Pripyat, hunting for artifacts and just messing around the maps, the expert loner squad vanished from Laundromat. I figured they went out, which they did. I found them dead at the Yubileiny Service Center. Luckily, they must have died moments before I found them, killed by quite a few zombified stalkers and a horde of pseudodogs, so I took back the weapons I sold them several in-game days before.

[terse crypt]

They only move around few pre-determined points when the player is close by
Pripyat is actually pretty small so they are loaded most of the time

[pale nebula]

I know, but let's reverse this. How would you feel whenever you look at the aquarium, all the fish happen to be in another place, doing their stuff. Eventually, you want to see them, no?

[terse crypt]

Thats literally how aquariums work
The fish do their stuff in them, swim around, hide behind the decorations and plants when they need to

[pale nebula]

I like animals and nature in general. Whenever I hike, I know the ecosystem is working and life is doing its routine, but when I get to surprise a deer or see a hawk catch another bird it feels good and refreshing.

My point is it is rewarding to see something you know it's there every once in a while.

[terse crypt]

It is rewarding to see something thats there once in a while
But thats much more limited when you need to be around for something to start happening
If I see a deer outside, it feels nice, but if he was just standing there untill I get close enough to see him then thats not rewarding knowing he didnt move when I wasnt there

Point of seeing rare stuff happen is that its rare because it most often happens when you arent around

[pale nebula]

Mutants in Call of Pripyat don't just stand in one place, they move around too even if it's just a small area. It's like they patrol their territories.

Call of Pripyat also added the Chimera and the Burer, so AI-Life fights are more complex.

[terse crypt]

Burers and Chimeras barely spawn outside their scripted quests

[pale nebula]

Seeing blind dogs, pseudodogs and rodents work together to bring down a mighty pseudogiant was amazing.

[pale nebula]

Not true. After you do the mutant related quests, chimeras are more frequent in Jupiter and even in Zaton. Of course, they aren't blind dogs, but if you mess around the bases for some time and don't kill everything in your path, there's a good chance you'll run into a chimera in Jupiter if you explore the whole map.

Burers also seem to come out more frequently during the night.

Chimeras usually spawn near the Concrete Bath anomaly, but I've found them in other places in Jupiter.

[terse crypt]

why would I explore a map thats empty
argument of "if you wait long enough" is dumb because theres no reason to wait when the Alife had its kneecaps broken with a demolition hammer

[pale nebula]

When is the last time you've played Call of Pripyat? I get the feeling you are wandering into another "argument" for the sake of arguing.

[terse crypt]

like a week ago

[pale nebula]

Oh. For how long? Did you complete the game, do sidequests and move across the maps?

[terse crypt]

yes
YES I DID

[pale nebula]

The maps definitely aren't empty. You can say that about Heart of Chornobyl, but not Call of Pripyat.

Of course they are "empty" if you go by that premise from the get go and you don't explore. You can't see what you don't search for.

[terse crypt]

I do explore, I try to do every sidequest and get most stashes, I spend hours running from one anomaly to another to get artifacts
and other than the few spawns that are bound to happen theres barely anything going on
usually people just respawn and due to their positioning they clash with someone else
which again, is nearly bound to happen due to their spawns

[pale nebula]

We must be playing different versions, because whenever I play there aren't two identical encounters. Did you finish Trapper's mutant quests? After you do, many mutants increase in numbers and the rare ones like the chimera and pseudogiant can be found in the open. On my last run, I played Call of Pripyat for more than 50 hours and I've seen A LOT of stuff. For example, the bandits from the Container Warehouse have been completely wiped out by large numbers of blind dogs and pseudodogs, the bandits from the Checkpoint left that area and starting wandering around until they got killed near Yanov Station. I've seen one Duty squad move around the map for some time (several gaming sessions) until they got killed, but each member in several places, not in the same spot.

On several ocassions, I've had mutants spawn around and IN Yanov Station, something which is well known among players. I even had a chimera trapped inside Yanov Station.

You can say a lot of things about Call of Pripyat, but that "the maps are empty" isn't one of them.

@late condor, if Call of Pripyat doesn't have offline A-Life, how do you explain the deaths of the bandits from Container Warehouse and Checkpoint, and why did the ones from Checkpoint leave their spots and wandered around the map until they got killed? Both of these situations must have happened when I first went to Pripyat and spent some time there.

[late condor]

This is weird and does not align with my experience. I will check for sure later and come back to you.

[pale nebula]

Anyway, this is the first time hearing Call of Pripyat has a bubble. Can you tell me where did you find that information?

[late condor]

It’s switch_distance in alife.ltx lol, all three games have it

You can edit the value to a smaller number and see NPCs spawn in front of you

[pale nebula]

So, then all three games have it, not just Call of Pripyat?

There's the A-Life bubble in all of them, correct, but the rendering distance varies?

[late condor]

The rendering distance is also the same in all of them, 150m

It’s not rendering distance though, it’s online simulation distance

They don’t just stop rendering they switch to essentially dice rolls for simulation

[pale nebula]

OK, then why did those situations happen? I named only three, the Container Warehouse, the Checkpoint and the Duty squad. The Checkpoint bandits died near Yanov Station, but I don't know what or who killed them. Like I've said, these situations happened in my absence.

Also I couldn't find anything regarding Call of Pripyat missing offline A-Life. Can you provide a link?

[late condor]

That’s something I heard a few years ago from a modder in a chat, and at the time it checked out with my personal experiences, so no link, and take this with a grain of salt. That being said, I’ve already said I will check out for sure through code and get back to you (#⭐┃trilogy-general message).

There is a chance that happened when you came back or when you were just leaving, or maybe there is indeed offline simulation and I am wrong, I will need to examine this to say for sure.

[pale nebula]

All I can say is that when I returned from Pripyat for the first time, with the calibration tools and a crapload of weapons to sell, I started exploring Jupiter again and completing some of the remaining sidequests. I immediately found Jack and 2 or 3 of his goons dead near Yanov Station. I didn't remember his name from when I helped Vano, but I recognized his face in the inventory image. I googled him and I've found out who he was. I went to the Checkpoint, which was completely empty. I remember seeing more than a few bandits there when I helped Vano, so they must have died too, but their bodies probably vanished after a while. Jack's body is still near Yanov Station to this day.
Regarding Container Warehouse, I simply stumbled upon their bodies (Shishak was still inside the hangar), while the others, like Yoga, were either in the courtyard, or near the entrance. There were also two loner bodies around and a few dead blind dogs. The rest of the blind dogs and a few pseudodogs were roaming around the area.

[terse crypt]

every time you start a playthrough the beginning will be near identical
you meet the two stalkers on your way from spawn, then at the camp between skadovsk and rangers station stalkers, mutants and bandits will fight in various orders

[pale nebula]

That's your example? OK.

[terse crypt]

it is my exaple because it literally happened every single time I played through Zaton

[late condor]

Tbh game start is identical for SoC and CS as well

[pale nebula]

That's a scripted event, right at the beginning. It's like meeting with Doc in Agroprom Underground in every playthrough.

[terse crypt]

should the camp fight be unscripted tho?
like sure, the two guys are scripted but rest of spawns shouldnt be

[pale nebula]

You can literally get out of Yanov Station and go to the Cement Factory. The silos are almost constantly disputed by loners, bandits, Freedom, Duty and zombified stalkers.

[pale nebula]

There are constant fights right near Skadovsk, between bandits and loners or either of them and mutants. And this happens for the rest of the game.

[terse crypt]

thats because Skadovsk is neutral area so squads of both will go there when the player is around :3

[pale nebula]

Sure. That's why you also find new bodies around the area all the time, not just fights.

[pale nebula]

On a more cheerful note, I don't know if this clip comes from vanilla Call of Pripyat or modded, but I find it very funny:

Here’s a fun challenge
Go the Pripyat underground with only a knife and on

[pale nebula]

Call of Pripyat has a lot of good weapons to choose from. Take a good assault rifle like Strelok's SGI-5K, GP-37, FT-200M, AC-96/2, SA Avalanche, Thunder S14 or its unique variant, the Storm, and a good shotgun, like the Eliminator, Predator (modified Chaser 13) or Carabiner (modified SPSA-14).

its pretty easy since you dont really need to kill anyone there

@late condor, did you find anything?

[merry tendon]

Is the ssp-9m viable for raiding the cnpp?

[pale nebula]

Yes.

It's especially useful inside the Sarcophagus and Monolith Control Center thanks to its 2nd generation nightvision. Depending on how you play, you might need a new suit once you hit the rooftops. There are exoskeletons inside the Sarcophagus and Monolith Control Center and Skat-9ms on the rooftops.

[merry tendon]

is the bullet resistance good?

[pale nebula]

Yeah, it's 40% if I recall correctly.

[merry tendon]

okay, thanks for the tip

[pale nebula]

No problem.

[late condor]

it is going to take a while, I will get back to you once I have anything

My idea was to place PDA spots on every NPC and see if it updates on other locations but I would need to recompile engine for that

[pale nebula]

By the way, since you know the engine and its perks, take a look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1zM3ePkYPo&t=12s
This guy does a lot of interesting comparisons between these games. What I wanted to ask you is this: When he follows NPCs and mutants around, he seems to be in a free camera mode of some sort, not actually there, since the AI is oblivious to his presence. Would that mode still trigger spawning in some cases?

[late condor]

Do you mean if the "bubble" follows the player or the camera? The player. You can even fly further than 150m and observe lack of NPCs.

[torpid rapids]

So i have a question im playing shadow of chernobyl and I just got out of streloks cash, what the hell were those those black entities at the end before I exited

Ive tried Google and nothing

Black entities?

Im pretty sure you mean Controller but hes not black and theres only one in that level

He screams, twists your vision and deals damage

unless you have a mod installed there should only be a Controller there after you find Strelok's stash

So finally took garbage for the loners. But it says there's some bandit squads left even tho it's completely empty. So wherever I leave they retake everything. Are those bandits in agroprom I have to kill?

[graceful horizon]

Yes, but do it with the missions of Orest, the leader of the loners there. That'll disable the bandit spawnpoints there indefinitely

So you got loners to occupy the depot?

[lilac blaze]

I did yea.

I think a squad died and it let some more loners spawn

But I'm on the part where all my stuff was stolen now

But the loners occupied the depot but fot some reason more bandits keep spawning in there and overwhelming the loners inside the depot. Even with the extras from yantar

I think I'll just let the bandits keep it lol

[graceful horizon]

Bandits shouldn't respawn when loners occupy the depot. What version are you playing?

[lilac blaze]

Legends of the zone version

[lilac blaze]

IT WORKED

[graceful horizon]

Oh, with legends of the zone all bets are off

[lilac blaze]

They finally did it. Holy crao

Do the bandit squads in agroprom count for war in garbage?

[graceful horizon]

They count as squads in the squad counter, and point they capture may or may not count to faction resources

@lilac blaze But awesome that you managed it! You're the first on this server to say so as far as I know. Feel free to post some screenshots.

I know this is stupid but, does changing the graphic settings from advanced tab work in the existing save? I'm using ZRP mod only

.cheekibreeki. has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lilac blaze]

The loners eventually just had enough squads that every time bandits spawned in the depot they overwhelmed the bandits. Didn't even really need reinforcements from yantar. I think a chunk died at the flea market from a bandit attack and they just started moving. Also just finished off the last bit of bandits in agroprom so. FINALLY the bandit menace is wiped from the zone

Now I just have to deal with zombies and monolith.

[deft summit]

I want to play SoC again, but with better graphics and more realistic gungame. I played AA2 before. Is there anything better now?

[late condor]

I mean, vanilla is better than AA2

[deft summit]

Vanilla gungame is still spongy and trash in my opinion.

I want that one-shot-instant-kill experience.

[late condor]

The game is designed with gun progression in mind, you get that once you progress enough

Getting high damage high accuracy guns on early levels is like giving yourself max level in an RPG

You’re meant to struggle at first

The game has no skills and anything alike, gear is the only real indicator of player progression

[deft summit]

Not when the enemies are just as deadly.

[deft summit]

I can see your point.

[late condor]

No, because that still kills the difference between poor-gear player fighting good-gear NPCs

[graceful horizon]

Did the bandits wipe the fleamarket?

[late condor]

Enemies get deadlier with your progression and so do you, but most gunplay mods just kind of kill that by making everything kill from a single headshot from 50m

[lilac blaze]

They didn't. Just killed a chunk of em. Rookie village straight up died tho

[late condor]

But they did attack it on their own?

[graceful horizon]

LotZ is weird...

[lilac blaze]

The bandits attacked flea market yea.

[late condor]

Classic lotz

[lilac blaze]

Rookie village got eaten by mutants. Lower half of cordon is just infested. Even the military Outpost.

[late condor]

That isn’t supposed to happen cause there are quest characters in there, it’s specifically set as non target for bandits and not even an important spot so that they don’t consider it in faction war

[lilac blaze]

Got one military guy just. Standing vigil down there

[lilac blaze]

Mutants got it. Legitimately no one is left there

[graceful horizon]

The military didn't respawn...?

[late condor]

I referred to flea market

[lilac blaze]

Ohh

[late condor]

Military respawn in vanilla is bound to two nearby camps, if those are occupied they won’t respawn

[lilac blaze]

Yea bandits attacked flea market regularly

[late condor]

Remnant of an earlier idea where they spawned north of outpost and came there

[graceful horizon]

Did you witness new squads spawning there and moving to the depot?

[lilac blaze]

I did

[graceful horizon]

Sounds like bandits wiped out the original squads bit by bit. Once all originals were gone and replaced they started sending out squads. If pc version logic holds any value in LotZ(hmm...)

[lilac blaze]

I'm still surprised rookie village is straight up dead

[graceful horizon]

Happens when they're wiped out and the spawncap is reach by squads that spawn in elsewhere

[misty mesa]

Rookie Village is getting battered by mutants for me too. In fact the entire Cordon is overrun, I helped them clear it out a few times, but they just come back. Each time I got tasked to take an objective, the only guy to help me is the squad commander. Just me, him and a lot of blind dogs/flesh 😂

[paper pivot]

Bruh how the HELL do you get out of that x18 lab? Says someone is holding the door

And no spoilers alr?

[late condor]

Those are swamp things, not bloodsuckers. Back during CS development they were marketed as new mutants and their ability to perform dozen meter long jumps as something unique for them.

But then patch 1.5.03 made them spawn on Swamps without this unique script making them a simple bloodsucker reskin.

And CoP even further confirmed it to be a bloodsucker subspecies by changing “swamp thing” to “swamp bloodsucker”

And again making their abilities indistinguishable from regular bloodsuckers

Upgrade and repair your things, do not rush the story, sell artifacts, spend time for the exploration, buy stashes.

[round field]

Soo.. just play it like SoC?

[late condor]

Well you do not upgrade and repair in SoC. Also in SoC you won’t run out of meds normally but in CS that happens quite often, but if you explore for scattered loot and breakable containers you should have enough.

Stash buying mechanic is also not in SoC. They may hold quite a few unique things but it’s often a gamble.

[dense sapphire]

Also be careful about when you join a faction, it could make specific sections of the game much more challenging

[misty mesa]

If you come across a field of anomalies, remember to pull out your detector and see if there're any artifacts hiding within
It's possible that rarer artifacts can only be revealed by more advanced detectors tho

[scarlet slate]

Hey, I need some help with Clear Sky. I want to obtain a GP37 and since I'm a Duty Member, I can't get the bandit one, or the freedom quest one from the Army Warehouse. But the wiki claims :

"Another GP 37 is available as a reward for an optional side mission given by random Loners, Duty, Freedom or Mercenaries squad leaders in the Army Warehouses"

But no General has any available side quest to do

Am I missing something? I have just cleared all my side quests I had lying around to make sure I have space, I helped the mercs getting out of the bubble, but nothing so far, despite having great rep with duty and loners. Do I have to kill the freedom commander first? Do I need to finish the whole red forest questline?

[round field]

Youre with duty?

[scarlet slate]

yes

[round field]

Im sorry

[scarlet slate]

?

[round field]

I hope you make a swift recovery

[scarlet slate]

D-do you know anything about how to solve my problem though?

[misty mesa]

I only know of the bandit faction GP37 personally, I've not seen any stalkers carrying it around either

[scarlet slate]

the wiki also says no npc carries it. It's apparently the third side quest reward from the army warehouse quests. And from a reddit comment it seems like I couldn't receive one since you can only have one delivery quests active at a time. I still need to collect the reward for getting an inscribed pistol back, so that seems to be the problem

[misty mesa]

Emissions removed Scars ability to multitask unfortunately

[scarlet slate]

Welp, apparently that did not do the trick. I got my reward, waited till the next morning, went back to Army Warehouse and they still won't give me a quest

[late condor]

Getting reward is a separate quest, it shouldn’t stop your progress with Return Item

[scarlet slate]

Oh reddit person, here my response to your last comment:

I picked up a retrieval quest for some duty soldier, I think at the entrance of garbage. Didn't do it for a long while then completed it after having no luck at Army Warehouse for the first time. Didn't went to receive the reward until you said I could only have one retrieval quest.

I recieve my reward around the time I just helped the mercs out of the bubble, then done the fight at the bridge against the bandits, went back to Clear Sky, got the F2000 and then went back to Army Warehouse but still no luck.

[late condor]

It shouldn’t matter when you received the reward, again, that’s separate quest and has no impact on availability of others. After completing the duty soldier quest, did you have a case of asking anyone else for a quest, them offering it to you and you not accepting?

Since you mentioned CS ammo quest in Reddit comment, I will elaborate: this only refers to Return Item quests that require unique items with a map marker, not Bring Items quest which asks for common items and is repeatable.

Your best course of action is starting to ask around in Garbage and further locations. Someone must have something that you can complete.

[misty mesa]

I was in a similar situation myself, looking for a way to get an exoskeleton before heading into Limansk. I assume it's highly unlikely to find one for sale unless you have joined a faction and helped them enough in the war?

[scarlet slate]

Yeah, pretty much every other region has quest, garbage has some, I think red forest had some. But I didn't want to get bogged down more, as I finally wanted to get a good gun. Do I need to complete a few more side quests elsewere for Army Warehouse side quest to appear?

So, I went back through a couple of maps and noticed no one offered any quest, I went back to clear sky and saw people offering item delivery quests, so I did all I saw there, and now I could accept other quests. Which worked so far, did 3 side quests in Army Warehouse, but not the one for the GP37, and now one one offers it. I still have other quests in garbage and red forest, so I don't think a delivery quest is active, I also checked every green and yellow dot on the map in Army Warehouse and talked to every commander there, but they all are not giving me any more quests.

What problem am I experiencing now?

[graceful horizon]

are there still loners in the army warehouses?

[lilac blaze]

I think this final segment has ruined clear sky for me.

it's not where the game shines, no

DID ITFECK U STRELOK

That uh. Was an ending

[scarlet slate]

yes, one camp to the north and one near the exit in the top right with duty

also it seems I can only accept quests in the red forest currently, but I did receive item missions like 3 times already from 3 different commanders, and I talked to none of them while doing the 3 missions in army warehouse, only after I went around and no one had any quests

no wait apparently not, it seems red forest suddenly stopped now as well.

[scarlet slate]

well I found a quest giver in the duty base did it, tried army warehous again and no luck

[graceful horizon]

you playing pc version or LotZ version>?

[scarlet slate]

I'm playing on PC, completely vanilla Steam download

but I give up, went back to the duty base 3 times now and did a item retrieval quest and I still get no other quests in army warehouse.

I now spent over 6 hours on trying to get a gp37, I give up. I am just gonna use the F2000, despite wanting to use a different weapon this time.

[graceful horizon]

Sorry to hear that, I couldn't tell you why it's not showing up

[late condor]

You need to do them in order

All Agroprom, all Yantar, all Red Forest and only they will you get the mw quests

If you found one on duty base then you have at least two location in front of you (and potentially more quests at Agroprom too)

[graceful horizon]

Yeah but they already managed to do 3 of them in the army warehouse, so I don't get the logic either of the next one not showing up

[late condor]

Oh I must have missed that, which ones have they done?

[scarlet slate]

I've done the one for the pda, then meat grinder and a third I forgot

[late condor]

There’s a 24 hour cool down between taking several retrieve item quests from the same squad

Might be that?

OH FUCJ

[scarlet slate]

oh right the ammo from the helicopter was the third

[late condor]

I think I finally yndetatand why you can’t do that

[scarlet slate]

I spent 4 in game days since I did the first 3 quests, so that can't be it

[late condor]

If a specific squad (freedomers on the hill under bloodsucker village) has died then you can no longer take the quest from ANY squad, it’s a known bug.

[misty mesa]

Sorry to hear that. I can only think to do the usual reload an earlier manual save and retry the section, or maybe one of the autosaves might unstuck it.

[scarlet slate]

Hmm, last time I had to reinstall the entire game when a similar thing happened in garbage maybe I try to reload an older save then...

[misty mesa]

Worth a shot

[late condor]

Post the crash log

[scarlet slate]

where is that?

found it, let me post a pastebin

[late condor]

Nah that’s a generic application execution trace log, need the game’s specific one

[scarlet slate]

gotcha

[scarlet slate]

that leads me only to an empty xray log file and similar files in an mdmp format

[late condor]

Oh if it’s empty then crash reason is obscured. :(

Is it empty after every crash? Is copy buffer empty as well?

[scarlet slate]

I don't know I have been playing Rain World for the past hour or 2 since I am feeling really burned out rn. After spending 6 hours to gte the GP37 just to find out a bug is preventing that, as well as the final section being buggy and causing crashes

I'm looking into it tomorrow probably

Yeah that is useful.

I will take a look a bit later

[scarlet slate]

Also before trying, I completly reinstalled the game, so it's a fresh install

[late condor]

Very few issues in stalker are fixed with a reinstall. I will take a look at the code when I get the chance but I am currently really sick so it might take a couple days if you’re ok to wait.

[scarlet slate]

no worries, take care and good luck on the recovery!

[paper pivot]

Does nimble die after you give him the jacket in soc?

[granite jungle]

Not as a rule to my recollection

[graceful horizon]

Nah he's generally fine

[granite jungle]

Obviously anything can happen occasionally with the way the game works but he usually hangs around the rookie village

[paper pivot]

Yah

[paper pivot]

He dies after I've given him the perfected suite

Like in his sleep

[paper pivot]

Not immediately but after I came to check on him, he's dead

[late condor]

wut

Weird af. Usually NPC don’t die for no reason.

Closest to that is collision death.

[paper pivot]

Idk man. I gave him the jacket, and I just wandered the zone for like idk 1 day or so and when I came back, bro layin in the floor bed there DEAD

Used zrp tho

[vast bluff]

most of the time (for me) he's dying when I'm coming back to Cordon from Dark Valley and there would be bandits in the car park again

[vapid flower]

I wish they'd do a sale for the clear sky and COP for the spring sale

[novel musk]

They discounted it last spring sale. Surprised that they didn't do it this year. All 3 games costed around 10 bucks during the prior steam sales.

[vapid flower]

Yea I got Soc during that sale. Which is why I ask, i miss how cheap the games were. Clear sky isn't expensive but I cant exactly drop 20 on a game like I used to lol

[glacial epoch]

Why STALKER trilogy didn't getting any discount this sale?

I want to gift my friend STALKER bundle as an surprise today

But when i check it up the price remain unchanged

Do i have to wait at some period of time for it to finally get discount or the game developer really just don't wanna give's any discount in this sale

[dense axle]

That's actually a bit strange

Stalker trilogy tends to go on sale very frequently

[dense sapphire]

I’m pretty sure I bought the entire trilogy for like $15

[rotund saddle]

last time it was on sale it was during Winter Sale

it was on sale last Spring Sale, maybe they don't discount everything at once

[late condor]

My guess is it might have to do with upcoming LotZ pc release

Setting a discount and then selling the port for 3x the price a few months later may make the LotZ price seem even more absurd than it already is

[glacial epoch]

Damn it

[dense axle]

Yeah I got all 3 for 10 bucks

[open copper]

same

[paper pivot]

Is he a important guy or something?

[merry tendon]

nimble? nah, but he appears in the other games

[paper pivot]

Alr then

Thanks!

[true path]

hey, I cant find any info on this online, but, how can I use artifacts? attaching to belt seems to do nothing

[faint wasp]

What ones? How are you determining it doesn’t work etc.

[true path]

fair question actually, I dont know if it actually works or not

[misty mesa]

Some artifacts have mediocre stats, so it can be hard to notice if it's doing anything beneficial.

[faint wasp]

You basically need to suffer from a thing to tell if it’s working. Whatever it’s for

[misty mesa]

When the artifact makes my brain 2% more resistant to the Psy-Emission

[obsidian willow]

You now die horribly in 10 seconds instead of 8

[true path]

When are those horrible deaths coming? I played till the part where I have to steal the military documents and its been very easy so far

[merry tendon]

probably a few more hours in

thats still the early game iirc

[granite jungle]

It's not really as hard as its reputation suggests

[vast bluff]

nah not really

[naive hollow]

Just checking, on what difficulty are you playing?

[late condor]

The game is easy if you get good equipment and don’t play like a dumbass

People who complain that it’s hard usually rush it with a broken weapon and suit and then complain they die too fast and their weapon doesn’t do shit

[sullen minnow]

Honestly, I can understand how someone can die with decent armor in one of the higher difficulties but in my opinion, the weapon and player damage scaling in stalker is quite possibly the best I've ever seen in a shooter game

[dense sapphire]

I didn’t have a problem really until the CNPP fight on my first playthrough of SoC

not that I remember at least

[true path]

Stalker I think?

[true path]

I didnt get good equipment lol I just ran thru everyone and picked up their weapons

And I had 1k+ 9x18 I had to drop it cuz of weight

[naive hollow]

Then I guess that kinda answers your question

[true path]

Picked that cuz it seemed like the "default" difficult

Can I turn it up now?

[misty mesa]

I think difficulty can be changed at any time if you want, whatever makes the first playthrough most enjoyable

[vast bluff]

you can change the difficulty somewhere in the settings while in-game i think

[open copper]

hell sometimes i still rush and do fine mostly…

[sonic dew]

what is the best weapon in clear sky?

cuz i like g36

[granite jungle]

Not really a single best weapon, but your usual suspects of 9x39 weapons and high end 5.56 guns like the SGI 5k and GP37 are always solid

[sonic dew]

ah so same same as uhhh, soc?

[granite jungle]

yeah pretty similar

I tend to use the Vintar since it's Scar's signature weapon from the opening cinematic, and the ammo is plentiful enough in the endgame

[rotund saddle]

lobing clear sky

[karmic horizon]

Choose the weapon that you can get the most ammo looted in the field. If you carry a boutique weapon that requires boutique ammo that you can only buy, you're going to have a bad time.

Do artefacts respawn in clear sky?

yes but its buggy

[graceful horizon]

it's unlikely to happen in normal gameplay

[dense oxide]

So I'm new to series going through SoC and it's a challenge but not in a bad way

Going through some tunnels atm that this guy Mole sent me through

[ripe storm]

Did you talk with him before going to tunnel?

[dense oxide]

He just said head into the tunnel but I didn't talk with him in the menu

Was I supposed to?

[late condor]

Are you playing pc trilogy or LotZ?

If you are playing lotz no you don’t have to talk, but on pc it’s essential to enter dialogue with him before going underground

[dense oxide]

It's all good I have a save but thank you for letting me know

@late condor is there anything that influences sprint-speed in CS?

[late condor]

No, think it’s always the same value, why?

[graceful horizon]

someone commented on a video of mine that I seem to sprint faster than normal, just their mind playing tricks on them I suppose

[terse crypt]

Did you maybe edit your FOV?

[loud folio]

is COP gameplay better than clear sky?

I hate clear sky so much i dont think i can play cop if it is similar to clear sky

[primal basalt]

personally i enjoyed both a lot and i guess CoP feels more open if that addresses your specific concern

[tawdry cargo]

Get this man

[loud folio]

Im mostly concerned about the gunplay aspect

Like the gun fights in clear sky was so trash even a full durability ak74 would have a 5m dispersion at 20m range

[primal basalt]

hmm guns felt fine to me but i always prioritize longer range weapons (scope) + shotgun so it worked well for me

[loud folio]

What about the 5 grenades thrown at you every 10 seconds

[primal basalt]

lol that's the fun tho

[loud folio]

It’s fun at the start but not when you have to fight monolith in tight spaces like the stupid clear sky ending

So my base accuracy is trash and I have to keep dodging grenades at the same time

And the only gun with good accuracy was the vss with 15 round mag

[primal basalt]

ye ending fight is rough ngl, i feel CoP def is more "fair" in that regard if that makes any sense; if these were your concerns I feel you should be able to enjoy CoP

[tawdry cargo]

It's easy tho. Loads of guns are accurate too, just upgrade them

[loud folio]

Yeah I don’t mind the difficulty I was playing at veteran mode and doing fine until that part of the game, so seems like cop would be a better game then

[tawdry cargo]

Last playthrough I went through the point of no return with no meds and only used about 200 rounds

[loud folio]

I couldn’t, in the technician the tabs were all locked

[tawdry cargo]

Flash drives

Trilogy is easy enough on master

[misty mesa]

Gunplay in CoP functions similarly to CS, but weapon accuracy is slightly better by default iirc, so it's generally easier to hit your intended targets

Upgrading weapons and Equipment is also similar to CS, so you can upgrade your shooter to be pinpoint accurate

[primal basalt]

ye i do generally upgrade accuracy/flatness first and that helped a lot

[remote anchor]

Yes absolutely but its a bit boring at first so give it time

[vast bluff]

damn

[graceful horizon]

If you hate CS you'll probably love CoP

I'd describe it as "mellow"

[charred prism]

CoP is the worst stalker game
Make that what you will

[civic gate]

i agree on that one

[pale nebula]

Worse than 2?

[charred prism]

Yhea

[pale nebula]

OK. You must really hate CoP for whatever reasons to say it is worse than 2.

[whole geyser]

its true though lol cop mid as hell

3 maps and an incredibly retarded military who didnt know anomolies moved yet in previous games it was established

[granite jungle]

It's good for one playthrough and then you have seen all the game can offer basically

Main story is barely there but it has some well produced side missions

[whole geyser]

Fr side stories best part imo

[dense sapphire]

Strelok pulling up to the military like he didn’t gun dozens of them down at Ahroprom alone literally two weeks ago

Military wondering what could possibly bring down a helicopter when “065” and an unknown Airmobile squad ate shit due to an electrical anomaly during Operation Monolith

(Unknown because despite there being a squad onboard “065” they’re not listed on the Operational plans you can find)

[misty mesa]

Degtyarev investigating the helicopters: hmm, interesting. It seems like it crashed because the crew put on Bandit Radio at full volume and drank more Cossacks than Zulu

"here's to a steady hand!"

[edgy geode]

i have a question, whats the lore reason for me to have to go retrieve the x18 documents in the underground lab (SHOC)? i know i gotta find strelok but how does all this connect?

[graceful horizon]

X18 is just to help the traders

[edgy geode]

oh so im just giving a hand while i look for strelok

also should i know why i should find strelok yet? im scared i skipped important dialogue that explained it on accident

[graceful horizon]

Consider it 2 intertwining storylines

One is finding Strelok, the other is finding a way to the center of the zone for the traders

[edgy geode]

i see

[graceful horizon]

And you generally need to do the latter to get the chance to advance the former

[edgy geode]

whats in the center of the zone?

[graceful horizon]

CNPP

[granite jungle]

That's what they want to find out. The rumors say there's potentially many riches to be found, and an object that can grant your wishes

[edgy geode]

awesome

so in game im still figuring everything about the zone out while i look for strelok

the whole reason i look for strelok is cuz i found his pda and he might know what happened before i woke up?

[granite jungle]

Yeah basically

It's your only connection to whatever happened before you were rescued from the truck

[edgy geode]

makes sense

[pale nebula]

If CoP is mid, HoC is bottom of the barrel. Oh, wait. It actually is. By S.T.A.L.K.E.R. standards, of course.

[graceful horizon]

Disagree to disagree

[terse crypt]

the difference is that HoC isnt finished (it has chance to be good) while CoP has been mid for around 15 years now

[edgy geode]

does it matter if i give the x18 documents to either sodorovich or the barkeep at bar? (shoc)

[granite jungle]

You can show them to Sid but then he will have you bring them to barkeep anyway

[edgy geode]

oh bet

[whole geyser]

Bad bait

[charred prism]

considering that HoC does much better than CoP
hard to say wether its bad bait or genuinely terrible opinions

[edgy geode]

can i put a silencer on the saiga?

[tawdry cargo]

Whyy

[dense sapphire]

DAMMIT I IMBED FAILURE EVEN HERE

[terse crypt]

epic embed fail I saw there

[dense sapphire]

*insert “powder that makes you say ‘Real’ “meme

CoP can’t hold a candle to PEAK Sky anyway

[pale nebula]

That's why it's the highest rated of the three, everywhere. Because it's "mid".

[charred prism]

yes actually

[terse crypt]

it is mid
just because majority enjoys something, doesnt mean its good
just look at how many players World of Tanks has

[charred prism]

its the highest rated because it is the one that has the least complexity and is the easiest to understand for the average consumer

you said this as a joke, but yes, you are 100% correct

[pale nebula]

Least complexity? Like the best upgrades for weapons and suits and best artifact hunting, with the most refined artifacts?

[charred prism]

Yes, artifacts are balanced horribly as they become nothing more than meaningless baubles used to obtain money, they are too common and easy to obtain, as well as not justifying the downsides of their use on protection side, this system will homogenise your build as everyone uses the same artifacts without fail, however, it is definitely a plus if you play with your brain turned off not wanting to engage with the mechanics
Same is true for the overall balancing of the game, the upgrade system including, the way the game his balanced is to warrant the least energy input by the player with weapons that will never need upgrades only becoming ever so much better with them making the game so easy that there is not even a reason to have fights in them, the accuracy of all weapons is also a interesting thing, since everyone turns into a sniper engaging enemies from 500 meters away trivialising every fight

Indeed

This is the best game of the series for people who hate to do anything but click thru dialogue and hold the w key

Cope and seethe, SoC is the best

[pale nebula]

Exaggerating for the sake of hating on something. 500 meters? There is no situation where you will have to engage anyone from that distance.

[pale nebula]

True, but for completely different reasons. Shadow of Chernobyl being the best doesn't detract anything from Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat.

[charred prism]

Every single thing I have just said is a problem with how neutral and Boeing CoP is in it's balancing, but I can continue, of courses the narrative is a neutral and boring one as well, nothing outstanding comes from it, the maps are ugly and not well designed, the game entirely relies on it's side stories which can be said to be rollercoaster rides, fun the first and second time however shallow, the game completely guts it's simulation systems and lobotomized itself to make sure the player requires the least amount of attention required to complete the game
In this way it attains a larger fan base, the reason why it gained the most traction is entirely because of this, while the other games forced your hand to their own terms, CoP is all too happy laying with it's belly up, ending with nothing all too interesting to show for it past a few scripted moments
Maybe it is also the most enjoyed as it is the most reassembling a western game, it's very showy but surprisingly boring and stale

It is no suprise that CoP is the most atypical one for the series in terms of design

[pale nebula]

It's not Boeing, it's Antonov.

[whole geyser]

Hell even gamma better then CoP tbh

[icy hinge]

Gaming has fallen through the floor, too many games to are absolutely garbage, but the youngsters don't know better. That is all they have been brought up with.

Soc is the best one, Clear Sky has an annoying trick shot grenade spam...

CoP, is just rubbish.

[granite jungle]

We're still getting great games constantly, just mostly not from the big names of yesteryear

[icy hinge]

I don't think putting mechanics into annoy players, frustrate, them, artificially make things grindy to force people to keep playing to meet subscription playtime quotas is ever good.

Micro-transactions, fomo, and other sinister tactics just make games frustrating annoying.

But people claim these games to be good... When they are really really bad.

Most games are about exploiting the player.

i agree with you that soc is better

but i honestly commend the game for adding all the new mechanics and stuff, also id much rather not die from bleeding every 5 seconds lol

and being able to run is nice too

but yeah artifacts didnt make much sense to me in cop

so imo COP is not the worst but not better than SOC

[primal basalt]

nimble got me the best sniper he's such a bro

[pale nebula]

Which one do you think is the best?

[primal basalt]

it was the ||Lynx||

[graceful horizon]

I wouldn't call any of Nimble's snipers as superior over the others

They all have their own strengths and weaknesses, but I consider them equally viable for their specific purposes

[primal basalt]

ye obviously it's subjective - I like how it shoots, I like how it sounds and it worked well for me

[pale nebula]

The Lynx and the Tide are still better than their normal counterparts, especially when it comes to accuracy.

[graceful horizon]

Oh absolutely, I'm not counting the default versions

[pale nebula]

Ah, OK. I misunderstood.

The Lynx is VERY good if you want long distance shooting until you, eventually, get the Gauss rifle.

[primal basalt]

haha i picked up the gauss, shot once, and switch back to lynx immediately

[pale nebula]

The gauss rifle is still unmatched if you want 1 shot kills against humans without aiming for the head and it's instant death with just one shot for almost every mutant, except the pseudogiant. I think chimeras also need headshots to go down in one round, though.

[graceful horizon]

It's hard to get around the gaussrifle in the sniping mission tbh

Really tried it with others, but they just don't perform as well.

[pale nebula]

One shot? When you engage the Mercs?

[graceful horizon]

Yeah

[pale nebula]

Well, yes, obviously. Those guys are well armored and, unless you headshot them even with the Lynx, they won't go down in one round. Nevertheless, I've got something better for One shot, the RPG-7u. One round for Serbin and Jackal, and one or two for the remaining mercs that flee. Only one or two, tops, manage to escape. 😄

[sullen minnow]

The amount of times I've tried it with the svdm they give you thinking the previous times were just a skill issue

And then miss due to sheer lack of accuracy

[graceful horizon]

Tried that actually, fairly amusing

[pale nebula]

The SVDm-2 you get at the start of the mission is just for cash.

I can't waste more time playing again

I'll just skip that mission

Now I need to ask something

Who are the best people that I should recruit to go to pripyat? (No spoilers alr?)

[pale nebula]

For the game to advance to the next step, you only need one more besides Zulu. There are three guys you can recruit, but you said no spoilers.

[paper pivot]

Yah I got them

All of them

[pale nebula]

It would make your life easier if you would give them better weapons. ||Sokolov|| and ||Vano|| could use higher tier assault rifles, like upgraded AC-96/2, TRs 301 or SGI-5k. If you have the cash, by all means, give them upgraded GP-37. ||Vano||, however, will be a great addition against mutants with his default shotgun. ||Strider|| will be valuable against the human enemies towards the end with his sniper, so let him as default. ||Zulu|| has a great weapon, but is the most fragile of the lot. Do not let mutants gang up on him as he can die quite easily.

[naive hollow]

Now do the Pripyat-1 Run with no armor and only a PMm

[paper pivot]

The monolith guy has a sniper rifle, zulu has a freakin machine gun and the other guy has a shotgun i think

Like a monolith soldier with no weapon and stuff

That's the shit we do

Sokolov is in the most dire need of a new weapon. Have the weapons prepared in your inventory and immediately after you start the mission and gain control of your character, drop the new weapon in front of him. He will pick it up on the spot.

Not really, Monolithians are effectively war machines. To rush into gunfire is suicide, a waste of a good soldier. Not even Monolithians are like that. You're looking at 40k instead

[naive hollow]

So little?

Yeah, that's enough
