[spring abyss]

it's interesting to think about because apparently stalker 2 is going to take place a lot after the last title, we're going to have a lot of new characters but I really hope that at least they have stories of the ends and deeds in the zone in the last years, migrations of the factions, crises and like some big ones characters are gone

Like how sid buy the copium industry and die of overdose of copium

[twilit field]

Are they still taking suggestions ?

[azure mural]

do you guys know anything about the 2 sec stalker 2 gameplay seen in TGA 2022?

[distant knoll]

With the glitch that whenever you talk to the trader the game crashes can it happen multiple times after you fix it

[solid dome]

🌋

[hazy helm]

I hope they don't listen to most of these awful suggestions

[twilit field]

[twilit field]

Yeah like adding sex and women

[solid dome]

[hazy helm]

we shall follow the ancient greeks,except the thing with the little kids

[solid dome]

You can even have sax if you take a trip to Ibiza

[distant knoll]

no im in dutys base doing a shooting range and i lose my guns when im done

[finite dragon]

in a box probably

like the arena in soc?

I'm pissed at CS rn because of loners being broken should get through it

[distant knoll]

y does my game crash when i move to another location

[finite summit]

skill issue

[hazy helm]

I can't say if you are playing with a mod that's notoriously broke and unfinished

[distant knoll]

im using faction wars mod

For stalker clear sky

[hazy helm]

Yes like I said a notoriously broken and unfinished mod

[distant knoll]

oh

Reason: Capital letters

[distant knoll]

In the normal stalker clear sky game you can join factions right

[hazy helm]

You can fight for factions but you'll never be formally in that faction

[distant knoll]

Ok that’s the last question thanks

[cedar sparrow]

blyat.

I can't believe I joined the official stalker discord. and my first message was mispelled "Cheeki Breeki."

[hazy helm]

hehehehe

[finite dragon]

you can join them but there's no point because your enemy spawns no matter

[hazy helm]

you get a lot of perks by joining the Faction Wars
but youll never truly be a member of said faction youll always be Scare the Mercenary

a gun for hire basically

[finite dragon]

yeah I'm just pissed because loner is broken and I choose loner and spent way too long trying to take over the bandit base

[hazy helm]

Bandit is the one thats broken

havent seen too much broken stuff on loner side

[finite dragon]

I thought SRP would fix it but it doesn't all the way

well the bandit base keeps getting taken over by bandits and they're the enemy of loner so thats what I mean

[hazy helm]

huh,yhea thats not a bug,you know when something so big as a Faction gets their forwarding base taken over they dont roll over and die,they regroup and plan out a retaking of said area to reorganise and get back to fighting

you'll never truly wipe a faction off the game

[finite dragon]

but they spawn IN the depot when I have a guide and there.

there was nothing bug green dots

its specific to that base

[hazy helm]

yhea,bandits are broken asf

[finite dragon]

some people have luck with them staying away once you wait for your troops to take it over once you do. takes a while for them to come but yeah it worked for me for a long time but them bam, full of bandits everywhere again from nowhere

I might try one more time or just ignore that base and play the story

[hazy helm]

like I said,youll never truly wipe off the bandit forces,theyre a gang,new members will always join and its not just bc a forwarding base was taken that theyll keel over and die
Faction Wars is eternal

supposedly you take the enemies base and you get rewards and thats it

[finite dragon]

yeah but other bases you can take over.. they don't spawn in the base after you take it over

[finite dragon]

took it over again, whatever not too big deal with actual weapons and armor

i think if you captured some points as loner you won't be able to capture them with freedom

[worthy coral]

In SoC, I bought info from Snitch. How do I view the info that he gave me?

For example, he said he gave me the coordinates to the emitter in Lake Yantar, but I don't see them on the map

[silk locust]

ecologists are useless lets be honest

[remote karma]

He kinda useless imo

[cyan canopy]

ok

[hazy helm]

Ecologists arent a faction to begin with dunno what you expected

[silk locust]

they arent? damn im stupid

i thought they were

[hazy helm]

[hazy helm]

Ecologists are simply the denominator of the group of Scientists under gov payroll inside the Zone
they dont operate like a faction,theyre a handful of guys in bunkers handing contracts to stalkers for retrieval and protection using the money they get from the gov

[silk locust]

ohhh

[hazy helm]

theyre called ecologists bc its cooler than being called scientists

[rotund fox]

What not playing vanilla does to a mf

[silk locust]

im playing soc rn wdym

[rotund fox]

Do it again then

[hearty vigil]

But are you playing it vanilla 💀

[silk locust]

i dont even know how to install mods

[hearty vigil]

Never change brother

[silk locust]

yup

[finite dragon]

Woo finally unmuted

[worthy lagoon]

Scientist are the ones who can put an end to psi emissions though

They're key characters to change the faith of the Zone

That will surely be the same in STALKER 2 too

As we saw in one of the trailers, there was Prof. Hermann with Skif, in the truck

[worthy lagoon]

In Vanilla i think in SoC or CoP they're classified as ecologist

And not as scientists

[solid dome]

They do b never getting the real gist

[rotund fox]

Yea but Sidorovich is for example classified as a "Trader" in the groupings, you wouldn't say that there is a separate clan of stalkers called Traders

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah yeah of course

I was just saying where the ecologist thing was born

Idk why they changed it multiple times

Maybe they actually wanted to create a faction

[rotund fox]

For the same reason characters are named different in the Rus and Eng versions of the game probably

[solid dome]

Petruha remains Petruha no matter the change, you can't toss Petruha around expect for things to change, Petruha

[faint badge]

hey, does anyone have the option of actually pre ordering the ultimate physical version of the game? I've checked all the other versions on gamelegends.com and the 3 other options have the green predorder icon

[dry imp]

you cannot preorder the retail versions in the US. no info of when that will be, or when the game will even come out. it's honestly not a good idea to preorder at all until there is info

[faint badge]

but im from canada, so is it just unavailable in NA

[hazy helm]

I don't think it is,GSC is working on it but I don't think even they know when they can get it working

[dry imp]

yeah

i assume US because literally every single one asking was US

[solid dome]

Certain folks of us do have the option to pre-order by not pre-ordering. Still a viable option.

Joke aside... Game Legends seems to be out of touch.

@dry imp I have a thought... Can we pre-order a pre-order?

Like securing pre-order before its gone...

The internet will need him when stalker 2 comes out, to show the new players how the old stalker mods are junky and great, but absolutely junky

[worthy lagoon]

I still see him on Steam playing some games

Might have a chat with him tomorrow to see how he is

[hazy helm]

being retired from the internet doesn't mean being grounded from using your pc

We are the jury, each and every stalker

Testify or be sent to the Gulag, where you suffer endless jetlag

[worthy lagoon]

They do

I mean, they know there's like some paranormal activity

Normal people knows the existence of Anomalous Zone

However

Most of them believe it's a myth

That's how it was in the past

Now with SIIRCA spreading info like in the radio, the public probably knows more about anomalies and mutants

Is there anything to back this up? I don’t remember a single piece of info mentioning that people outside the Zone think it’s a myth.

[worthy lagoon]

Some random chat with NPCs in SoC, you'll find out that most people didn't realized the Zone was actually THAT bad and rumours were true

[solid dome]

Charbored?

[worthy lagoon]

The government had the interest to cover up as an ecological disaster

Since they didn't had control over the Zone

And well, there were people literally brainwashing others

Def not anything mentioning people believe Zone is a myth.

[solid dome]

You need proof, ask Prof. Grygorovych

[solid dome]

No dialogue like that ingame, you have 100 street credit by that

[worthy lagoon]

I am not saying that, i am saying certain things such as anomalies

And unhuman mutants and zombies

[hearty vigil]

People are literally order mutant parts.

[worthy lagoon]

While they do know the existence of artifacts they do not know how bad the Zone actually is

[hearty vigil]

Like bloodsucker jaws.

[worthy lagoon]

That's the black market

Where artifacts goes

I am talking about normal people

[limpid salmon]

i think some rich people know about the zone because artefact

[worthy lagoon]

Which are probably downplayed by the government as anyone else would do, because there would be panic

[hearty vigil]

Normal people go as tourists to the Zone.

They know of anomalies and mutants.

[worthy lagoon]

Since when there are tourists in the Zone? That are there only to do tourist stuff

Besides the fact it is illegal to enter

Unless you are a member of the gov, military or scientist

[hearty vigil]

Sid mentions tourists about four times.

The quest to clear mutant camp near Electra tunnel, the quest to kill two bandits on Garbage.

[worthy lagoon]

Still, it is very much plausible that the Anomalous Zone was downplayed by the gov

It wasn't that famous

For obvious reasons

[hearty vigil]

It is possible but it is headcanon.

[worthy lagoon]

Until events of CoP

Bit I'd have highly doubts that the government was openly declaring what was really happening in the Zone

That is like shooting at your own feet

[hearty vigil]

There are other options apart from openly declaring and hiding/downplaying.

[worthy lagoon]

Like?

[hearty vigil]

Silent treatment. Not censoring to avoid backslash but not openly talking either.

Lambee mentions that Ukrainian people know they can get drafted to the Zone.

[worthy lagoon]

That's not how a Government works

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/657579158314024969.png?quality=lossless&size=48

It would be dumb

Imagine sending military in there

They die

And their families will get no response

Like, they'd give an answer, but it's most likely lying

[hearty vigil]

Your son died trying to contain the perimeter of the Zone, where marauders and monsters constantly try to get out and kill everyone in their way, your son is a hero.

[worthy lagoon]

Sure you don't want to say they died because of a freak holding an extremely powerful experimental weapon

[spring abyss]

If theres no tourists, how do whe get tourists delights?

[hearty vigil]

Anyway, there is more evidence to suggest that people know of the Zone. Maybe not the details but general idea yeah.

[worthy lagoon]

That's literally downplaying

But whatever

[spring abyss]

Theres is a down predator drone in cop

[worthy lagoon]

The Zone sure is a thing of debate in Ukraine

But you can't allow yourself to radio silence or say the bare minimum in such hot topic

Most logical solution is lying/downplaying

And i think that's what they are still doing, well, what SIIRCA is doing

As we saw in the trailer

The truck one

The Zone probably didn't stopped expanding, as C-c said

[spring abyss]

nah, that was a good discussion, but the world already knows that the zone exists and the artifacts are used in the outside world just like fur and mutant parts as the item texts say. (and I don't understand how a woman can wear a pseudodog furr coat)

[worthy lagoon]

Unless SIIRCAis saying the truth

[worthy lagoon]

I am more like talking during CS - SoC timeline

But after SoC the or even CS the Zone had a huge boost of stalkers

[spring abyss]

The mutants parts are only show in vanilla soc i think :/

[worthy lagoon]

But well, fact is

The Zone won't be as easy as they will expect

I am mainly considering Roadside Picnic where their expectations are far worse they would've thought

[frail spire]

You have chimeras that can probably eat hmg bullets

[spring abyss]

Its def not, but doesn't mean that the world not know its there

[frail spire]

They're not going to have fun

[worthy lagoon]

That's not my point

[spring abyss]

Make sense

[worthy lagoon]

I think Controllers are far worse than Chimeras

[spring abyss]

I think theres a quest in cs about a coward novice the wolf sends scar to help him

[frail spire]

Also anti-psi gear is very hard to make and expensive

So you wouldn't be sending just full platoons in unless you want to end up with 3/4 of your forces zombified and used by controllers

[spring abyss]

Yeah, now imagine that in the gunslinger universe

[worthy lagoon]

I don't know if those would actually work

[frail spire]

They don't

I don't know if its gameplay only but even with the special helmet you still get cucked by controllers

[worthy lagoon]

I believe Controllers psi emissions are different from other sources

[spring abyss]

A single controller wipe out a squad of military stalkers in cop

While 3 loners could take a chimera by themselves

[frail spire]

A controller would die piss easy against a whole squad, but only if the squad gets to see it first

[worthy lagoon]

Meanwhile, Controller in CoP, gameplay: Proceeds to melee everyone

[spring abyss]

Yeah

[frail spire]

And that never happens, controllers will always get the drop on anyone

[worthy lagoon]

Controllers are smart, they know their territory and they can create illusions, they can easily trick a squad

[spring abyss]

But you know, it only need one stalker zombified by a controller with a grenade to make a big mess

[frail spire]

Since as far as I know a controller needs to focus on one person to actually do something

But can easily mess around with the whole squad by making small sensorial illusions

Until he gets hold of one member who will proceed to gun down the rest

[worthy lagoon]

Although Controllers are rare mutants

I doubt they actually reproduce

But i guess they have a very long lifespan

After all controllers are most likely only escaped test subjects from the X labs

[spring abyss]

but we also don't know much about how many mutants like bloodsuckers, rodents and chimeras have the ability to reproduce so there may be stronger unique chimera subspecies, or alpha chimeras like swamp bloodsuckers but that's just guesswork

[worthy lagoon]

Bloodsuckers do reproduce

If i am not wrong

But i have my doubts on Controllers

[spring abyss]

Too humanoids, its really hard to think there's is a female controller somewhere and even less that she can also reproduce

But whe know they can talk and lure stalkers

[worthy lagoon]

They can talk

Telepathically too

[spring abyss]

Yeah, wrong word my bad

[worthy lagoon]

To humans

But yeah, i just things controllers are supposed to be very rare mutants with a long lifespan but they only come from X labs

Unless there's someone who keeps making controllers in some X labs, but X-18 should be shut down technically

[spring abyss]

There's also that theory from cs that the zone can copy living things like she copy father valerian, and also thats the anarchy cell plot

[worthy lagoon]

I know but that is not proved

Besides i doubt it's the same for mutants

[spring abyss]

Yeah it's not, but if not, than there's probably active x labs producing new mutants

[cyan canopy]

I think father valerian died in during CS timeline

[worthy lagoon]

That's for sure

[spring abyss]

It is bro, but there's two father valerian in the game, one dead in the red forest and one in cordon, but its the same model so there's is this theory from the cut plot from anarchy cell

[worthy lagoon]

Like, i really enjoyed X-18 labs plot in Goldsphere

Really an interesting plot

[spring abyss]

Probably the monolith warblab, i really wish they would appears in stalker 2

[worthy lagoon]

Nah, some other labs like X-18, i believe the one they showed in the trailer

[spring abyss]

[cyan canopy]

Well yeah,but my theory is Valerian take a trip from Cordon to Red Forest with their group for searching around that unexplored zone

[spring abyss]

The military planning to raid the center of the zone:
The military find out new x labs:

[spring abyss]

I think that its the canon lore, since the copy thing was cut

The devs just forget to get rid of the npc in cordon

[hexed brook]

thoughts on the stalker complete 2009 mod? using it for my first stalker soc playthrough.

[finite dragon]

firing up cs, expect rants

[worthy lagoon]

Complete mod sucks

In my opinion though

Tbh I'd say go without mods, SoC itself is patched

[hexed brook]

so far i have no clue whats different, except sleep. i refuse to use it mostly.

it did fix my crashing problems though, that was needed.

[worthy lagoon]

You can use ZRP

[finite dragon]

ZRP is included and you can use ZRP and it keeps it vanilla

[hexed brook]

i will check it out, fruitlessly though. as i am already through most of the game i think. just got through the military warehouses

[spring abyss]

In each one, complete mod the ai got aimbot on master

And also, is very bug, so good luck with them bro

[hexed brook]

i got my difficulty on veteran and i dont really find it buggy

aside from that sleep mechanic, i do not trust it.

[spring abyss]

That's good

The only thing that i liked is the option to repair your stuff

[hexed brook]

can you not repair your items in vanilla?

[limpid salmon]

no

[spring abyss]

@hexed brook no :/

but some quests in complete are very buggy like helping the ecologists in the wild zone, at least for me, it was buggy a lot and I lost some saves because the teacher didn't leave the place

[hexed brook]

thats kind of nuts you cant repair things, vanilla players live with that??? damn

[spring abyss]

Yep

We call that fun and masochism

[hexed brook]

in hindsight, the marked ones voicelines to the barkeep are out of character when repairing items. i found them odd

[spring abyss]

The repair is better in cs and cop, true mechanics will do that

[hexed brook]

played and completed CoP as my first stalker game a month ago, CoP is very much superior with its repair/upgrading/UI imo

soc atmosphere top tier tho

[spring abyss]

Yeah, cop is great

Did you try cs?

He have faction wars

[hexed brook]

nope, gonna give it a go after soc

it was a bummer i couldnt join any faction in either games

(atleast i think i cant join in soc?)

[spring abyss]

In cs you can join, the loners, duty, freedom, bandits, these 4

[spring abyss]

You can in complete but i not recommend since can buggy some quests with the ecologysts

For some reason the freedom is enemy to the ecologysts

[hexed brook]

BANDITS? i know who im joining 🙂

[spring abyss]

Hehehehe

[hexed brook]

isnt ecologists neutral towards everyone?

[spring abyss]

It is, but that thing is just in soc

[finite dragon]

damn why would they be political, i guess I'll find out in cs

[spring abyss]

Probably some unfinished faction relations stuff

Noooooooo i dont want to go to the wolfs room

[hexed brook]

who are we protecting by censoring those?

[finite dragon]

Duty can't handle it

[hexed brook]

i feel safe with wolf in the game but here he is scary

[spring abyss]

Who knows, the game is rated M i think

[finite dragon]

yeah it's a violent horror game lol

[fluid abyss]

publisher moment

[hexed brook]

publishers dont manage discord servers do they

[spring abyss]

Yeah, kids shouldn't played it, so i dunno why censor words

[fluid abyss]

"no we need game media to be wholesome uwu no swearsy wearsy allowed!!! and certainly no spooky mutants or anomalies.... that would scare the average 14 year old!"

[finite dragon]

I mean I think the world is so violent and now with the internet STALKER is nothing compared to whats going on

[spring abyss]

Yeah, manhunt was already a thing when stalker come, so why bothering our words?

[hexed brook]

didnt publishers try to water down the stalker trilogy to please the mainstream audience?

[spring abyss]

I hope not

[finite dragon]

Kids definitely being so the F word these days, it's like damn 20 years ago

[hexed brook]

would be cool though, imagine: paying $19.99 for a weapon skin for the makarov. beautiful.

[spring abyss]

Or a nft

[finite dragon]

I bought all the Trump ones

[hexed brook]

before i was familair with stalker i heard something about stalker franchise and NFTs

[spring abyss]

Stalker 2 was planned to have your face as a nft in the game, but it was cut

[hexed brook]

thankfully

[finite dragon]

Finally have two artifact slots, it seems like hp artifacts are actually good in cs

[hexed brook]

are hp artifacts not good in soc?

[spring abyss]

Also, that was keeped in cop

[finite dragon]

I mean I would use them here and there if i was low on supplies or going afk but i thought they weren't useful

[spring abyss]

I dunno

[finite dragon]

think selling them is better but also money is infinite in soc

[spring abyss]

I only used the stamina artifictas to get infinite run

[finite dragon]

yeah same, maybe radio ones if i was traversing certain areas

[spring abyss]

Infinite run is great in soc, especially in the late game

[hexed brook]

negative radiation artifacts carried me well through CoP

[spring abyss]

You can find those artificts in electrical anomalys

[spring abyss]

Yeah, but you dont got that much of anti radiation artifacts in soc

[finite dragon]

hmm I had a bunch

[spring abyss]

Indeed, jellyfish even got other properties in soc

[spring abyss]

Soc?

[hexed brook]

and the ones that are negative rads have even worse side effects

[spring abyss]

Maybe i Wrong but i only remember cristal a some antirads the downsight in blood loss

[spring abyss]

Yeah, but cristal got no negative effect but its also very rare

[finite dragon]

yeah I forgot which ones were good but I used a couple

oh yeah I guess urchins and them, just looked it up. they were fine for just crossing radioactive areas

[spring abyss]

Yeah, i neve liked them bc i got ptsd from blood loss

Cs inital armor makes blood loss never stops

[finite dragon]

Yeah SRP makes it better but it was still hard AF

having armor made the game fun but before i was getting very frustarated

I'm not a patient person I thin STALKER will make more patient

[spring abyss]

Thats the cs experience

In my first playthrough i just give up and broke my gamepad

Those are great times

[finite dragon]

I'm playing on veteran, master without armor or a decent weapon would be maddening

[spring abyss]

Hehehe

Imagine do that with only a Makarov

[finite dragon]

Like having a scope and armor makes HS easy so I could see master being fine but the beginning jfc

ill play CoP on master I think or will try

[spring abyss]

Yeah, but never use a silencer bro, NEVER

[finite dragon]

yeah don't silencers nerf guns in all the games

and stealth is broken so whats the point

[spring abyss]

And cut your accuracy

[finite dragon]

lol thats funny i think in irl it can make guns more accurate

[spring abyss]

On my first playthrough i used and i don't even know why my game was so hard

Until i realized that the problem was the silencer

Sup bro

[finite dragon]

isn't the silencer the most nerfed in soc

Stalker is a video game

loosely based and inspired by a good book that inspired a good movie

[spring abyss]

I really dunno

#👥┃faction-choice

Vanilla for a fist playthrough

[finite dragon]

First playthrough of SoC I would recommend ZRP

[spring abyss]

Yeah zrp

[finite dragon]

Don't use any of the optional stuff

[spring abyss]

Them you can try lost appha, gamma, anomaly, the Freeplay stuff

But first, tries the vanilla game to learn how the stuff works

[finite dragon]

It looks fun from the videos but videos always short the fun parts. i guess a couple i watched showed how janky it is

I think a STALKER multiplayer mod would be fun but maybe the engine made it too hard or something

Something like HL2RP with stalker would be fun

[hexed brook]

ask around

[finite dragon]

that your first stalker game

[spring abyss]

Try good old dead air, its less buggy

[finite dragon]

damn upgraded the kevlar and having two artifact slots with the hp artifact im a god now

game over

[hearty vigil]

#🔩┃trilogy_modifications

Don’t ask mod questions here

[hearty vigil]

ZRP booooooooooooo

[finite dragon]

ok i get it purist, god forbid a community patch that just fixes bugs

[hearty vigil]

That just casually decides what’s bug for itself, community patches might be good, ZRP ain’t one.

[finite dragon]

give me one reason?

[hearty vigil]

It actively changes canon by modifying in-game texts.

I had an essay about it somewhere but I’d need about 20 mins to find it.

[finite dragon]

eh ok it keeps the story the same and changes very little

[hearty vigil]

Changes very little is still not the same.

[finite dragon]

there's essays about why fascism is good too

like you purists

in any case I think it makes it more playable and it may not be perfect much like the games themselves..

also it only changes secrets, and gives you the option to go to default.. very not a big thing and esoteric

does not change canon, fake news

[hearty vigil]

“Give me one reason”, “I don’t like that reason”.

ZRP ain’t a pure patch, it does not maintain dev intentions, period.

[finite dragon]

lol you said it changes canon, it doesn't

so it's not a valid reason

changing the description of a stash (which is optional) is not canon

The devs probably didn't want their npcs to spawn in fire too or for all the things to be broken

[hearty vigil]

It does. It makes Wolf claim Bes is his friend for whatever reason, in vanilla there is no reason to suggest they know each other

It changes random dialogs to@mention several scientist bunkers.

Although canonically at the moment there is just one.

[finite dragon]

Well perhaps those are included in the secrets and in the future I will suggest maybe people don't use that but its still pretty benign

It is optional

[hearty vigil]

Those are not. It is not optional. This is in main ZRP package and there is no way to turn those off.

Those are just two examples out of hundreds though.

[finite dragon]

eh "Secrets are a bit more interesting to read (English only). (Rename gamedata\config\text\eng\stable_treasure_manager.xml to restore vanilla text.)"

[hearty vigil]

I know about stash description changes, I’m not talking about that.

I’m talking about non-optional text changes included in the main package.

I had a full list lying around, I swear.

[finite dragon]

I'm curious ima peep the zrp readme

[hearty vigil]

Oh yeah I found the list.

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/nvquqj/comment/h18jlsv/

Have fun.

[finite dragon]

To be fair, I've skimmed it and he changed some of the stuff including the Bes and Wolf stuff in the last release

[hearty vigil]

And again, this is JUST text. Something that’s easy to look into and see what’s been changed. ZRP changes hundreds things that heavily deviate from dev intentions and vanilla experience.

[finite dragon]

which is why I didn't remember it

Whatever I'm sure there's some things up for debate but it does objectively fix a lot

That post is from before the latest release so I don't want to break my head canon with what I remember too much

I'm sure it's not perfect but I would argue it probably doesn't change things too much and is worth it overall

[hearty vigil]

It does fix a lot but it’s not an objective improvement to vanilla as it deviates a lot.

Second playthrough? Aight. But first time you should just play as devs wanted you to.

Sure, the game is a bit glitchy and sometimes you’d have to load an earlier save but that’s just how it is.

[finite dragon]

It goes back to I don't think the devs intended for the game to have the game breaking bugs and I think for a lot of new players it would try their patience

I'm curious about the differences dialogue wise in the latest version

[nimble cipher]

street cred#4937 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[finite dragon]

it's already a game that requires patience too but I can see your point, I guess it's preference but I wouldn't call ZRP anathema like other mods

[steel finch]

I don’t like to visit agroprom again

My quest said I need to go there again

[finite dragon]

speaking of patience

lol I weirdly like going back and forth in Stalker and other games with a good world

[steel finch]

Last time I was there, I heard screaming

And then I remembered it’s mine

[finite dragon]

oh you have to in the lab or whatever

damn just got mama's beads in CS going to need a third slot

[finite dragon]

||damn getting robbed sucks, def going to save scum||

[delicate chasm]

medkit icon changes (why?), pseudodog tail in the inventory got brighter for convenience, but still not really a vanilla move, bandits with IL86 on Garbage at first visit.... some other stuff i can't really recall right now...

it's a very personal change kind of mod in many ways

whatever the author deemed to "make sense" to themselves was implemented

NatVak?

[hearty vigil]

Yeah NatVak is his name.

[hearty vigil]

Also Max giving you Black Kite instead of Walker P9M.

[delicate chasm]

Wasn't that the original GSC mess-up fix?

Or was the text wrong?

[hearty vigil]

It was, Max promises a Black Kite but gives a Walker. But the right fix is to change the text.

Since it originally was a Black Kite, the gun got replaced but the text still references the old version.

[delicate chasm]

True. I wonder which one of those actually came first though. Did we look into the builds for that?

Ah okay, so there was a Black Kite originally.

I recall that conversation in SW but very poorly

[hearty vigil]

Anyway, understanding how to fix things properly requires a good dive into development history because dev intentions aren’t always clear.

Main issue with ZRP is that it never tries to analyze what needs to be changed and what doesn’t.

And it’s very disappointing that people advertise this as “vanilla but stable” because all of those differences pile up and people get a totally wrong impression of the game.

[delicate chasm]

Did he even fix the Pripyat saves corruption? lol

Because I don't wanna hear anything being called "stable" in any patch-mod for SoC until it fixes that issue

[finite dragon]

Pretty sure that's fixed, had 0 issue with that

[delicate chasm]

It ruins a lot of people's anticipation of the game's climax, because the nearest safe save is the level autosave.

That's where I gave up on Stalker for the first time, I was on 1.0001

[finite dragon]

ah yeah I definitely quicksaved

[delicate chasm]

I literally got to enjoy freeplay and still do because I never wanted to go to Pripyat lol

whereas my first mentality was just to play through the story

[finite dragon]

I think my main argument is that in this day and age for new players to want to get through the game I think ZRP is a good idea even though it's not perfect.. Lots of games out there that are good these days. The differences are largely nitpicky but god bless if you're a fan and not down, some valid reasons

I don't think my Stalker experience really suffered and I played the shit outta SoC and am doing the same with CS

I really, really don't think I would have the patience for CS without SRP, i will go to the gulag now

[delicate chasm]

I know it's not really reasonable to expect everyone to be as much into vanilla as we are, but without a little bit crazy people like us vanilla would get buried in a lot of Mandela effect stuff and not explored as deeply as it is. People would not appreciate the rarity of certain bugs because they'd think it's a mod thing or something else.

But for me it's a kind of rabbit hole when I discover super rare bugs and then with the aid of others try to figure out why/how they happen.

[finite dragon]

yeah fair enough, part of the reason why I'm here to navigate my stalker experience with this discord

also i know what it's like to want that feeling of playing a beloved game again for the first time lol so I like to rant here

[delicate chasm]

I have the only video on the internet showing in 1.0006 a bug with an NPC selling harmonica and guitar for nominal price while having no purchase restrictions

[nimble cipher]

Wolfskopf#9067 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[delicate chasm]

Do you know how f*cking excited I was when it happened and I managed to record it? lol

[finite dragon]

lol what do they do

[delicate chasm]

What do you mean?

[finite dragon]

i mean are they worth a lot or something or just cool props

[delicate chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1gg1FsV4Cs

[delicate chasm]

You can't get a harmonica anywhere in SoC unless there's a bug like this.

[finite dragon]

ah true, yeah never seen one

[delicate chasm]

Guitar only exists in one place in Dark Valley, but for the longest time it was considered to be THE ONLY one in the game.

[finite dragon]

found one guitar yeah

I think I kept it

[delicate chasm]

Then there's a sale restriction element to this bug. There is none. I see all what the NPC has to sell -- the hidden items -- and the NPC can buy any of my shit as long as he has the money

Then there's a pose in which the NPC is stuck. It's an alert low crouch, aggro on an enemy, but with a dialogue option. You can't talk to an NPC when they are aggro'd.

Like, this is a cascading bug

[finite dragon]

so the NPC is full of em bugs

[delicate chasm]

One thing leads to another leads to another

[finite dragon]

secret instrument dealer is cool, freedom should have that in the other games

[delicate chasm]

anyways, I was really excited about that bug, and the more I looked into it the more exciting it got lol

[hexed brook]

so its my first time playing SoC, i decided to side with freedom and give my life for them. although i was hoping duty around the 100 rads bar wouldnt recognize me. i was wrong. am i outcast from the place? or is it as easy as massacre-ing everybody i find around 100 rads?

[finite dragon]

Pretty sure that works

[hexed brook]

blasting fools infact works? only like half agro. the rest dont want the smoke

[finite dragon]

yeah there's a lot of loners there too

but I think everyone aggros I thought once you cross the border? idk

[hexed brook]

duty sympathizer loners i would assume.

[finite dragon]

I think there's something with the bar that makes everyone attack but it's weird

[hexed brook]

very unique that only half the loners aggro.

[finite dragon]

only one way to find out

[hexed brook]

bouta bust some caps frfr

[hexed brook]

update: i killed 2/3rds of the population and every duty bootlicker that attacked me first. (it was self defense i promise) the last 3rd is too scared and dont want any of me. 100 rads bar and its bar-goers are unharmed

All the games were great. Took me a little while to start enjoying CS during my playthrough, fun nonetheless.

[obtuse crag]

Cs needs SRP and fun reach 100

[hazy helm]

CS very good game
You are cool guy

[obtuse crag]

i loved vanilla without srp but yeah it was needed

[finite dragon]

Now you can consider yourself a expert

[timid summit]

[obtuse crag]

i didnt enjoy soc and felt weird one day my wifi was dead and i found it in my pc

completed the game in 17 hour

ofc school eating working and i counted time it was 17 hours

[timid summit]

SoC took me 26 hrs.

[obtuse crag]

i am playing it again

it took more than 26 nowdays cuz more school and training and a good but time taking job

[hazy helm]

Vanilla replaying of SoC?count me in

[obtuse crag]

It hurts me I can't kill those thugs because of a freedom pact

[worthy lagoon]

But it's not a ESG exclusive, and S2 will be obtainable on Steam since day 1

[solid dome]

Lol

One thing's for sure

Knowing the CEO's interests and crap... Everything can be expected, even the least expected unexpected.

[dawn violet]

Well, we will get to know tomorrow anyway

[finite summit]

I still remember how they decided to give in to the angry mob and cancelled NFTs

I lost my faith in them that day

[delicate chasm]

that's one way to call a concerned fanbase

that doesn't want to see «XxX~P*ssyDestroyer1466~XxX» scribbed on walls because someone donated

[finite dragon]

Yes, it's yo

[delicate chasm]

It's like ö in his name

[finite dragon]

Yeeees

[solid dome]

I lost my faith in them for 2nd time

[finite dragon]

[obtuse crag]

i fked my car up after running over a mattress on purpose so it was time to get a new car

i traveled 7 miles on foot to the nearest dealership and walked my white ass up to the counter and asked for their best deal

they took 1 look at me and knew i was full of shet instantly that i was not to be taken seriously as a customer

but it seemed they were still willing to hook me up and i trusted theme because the guys who worked there were all jocks like me

and if you are a nerd thats something you'll never understand

they blindfolded me and drove me someplace for 20 minutes then told me to get the fk out of the car

they coaxed me deep into a wooden area by jabbing me with a spike even though i was just fine to keep walking without the spike

they took off my blindfold and i saw the worse car i could have possibly imagined it was all fked up there were no windows

it smelled like poison and it was covered in pictures of mutilated fetuses because it was ones used at abortion protests or something

but other than all of that it was pretty good

the dealers made me sign some papers and cut off one of my ears and i was good to go

i thrusted my feet thru the floor of the vehicle and started her up by running my legs like fred flintstone

it was instantly to me that i have been fooled into purchasing a fking caveman's car

[solid dome]

Woah woahhh

Switch into lower gear, son

[dry imp]

what

[solid dome]

One can't work through so much information into such a short time span

[dry imp]

is this a copy pasta

[solid dome]

TLDR required

It's not pasta most definitely

[obtuse crag]

it is spaggeti

[solid dome]

...they cut one of your ears and let you go?

[obtuse crag]

yes

[solid dome]

Hear me out, we track those pussies and hand them their death prescription pills

[obtuse crag]

[solid dome]

We fake the bills, okay, we do

[dry imp]

[solid dome]

[dry imp]

[solid dome]

You missed the photo Petruha posted few hours ago

[obtuse crag]

Yup

[dry imp]

[obtuse crag]

and btw

there is a role that makes you able to post here

how they didnt give it to you?

[solid dome]

I was about to ask the mods about permissions like that so I can post the fancy pantsy banner for Project Lone yet...

They'll tell me I'm no content creator!

[obtuse crag]

Unfair

[solid dome]

Reality hits hard

I have been content creator for the past 2 minutes

No seriously, anything STALKER related put sum effort into, is content creation

Excluding memes as those are 99% plagiarism

No, even more serious... I'll go ahead and ask a mod, thanks Son @obtuse crag

[obtuse crag]

np brother Krezzin

and if u were a freedomer i will call u Kremen

[solid dome]

[fallen adder]

quick question do you think stalker 2 should have dynamic combat music or no?

[sand fiber]

no

[fallen adder]

yeah same

it would devaulue the meaning of S.T.A.L.K.E.R

[sand fiber]

not really

cs and cop's combat music is pretty good, it just doesn't fit some of the times

[fallen adder]

true but I wish there was a setting for it

[sand fiber]

there is

or you mean in S2?

[fallen adder]

yes thats what I think too

[sand fiber]

ehhhhhhhh
