[silver pagoda]

Majority of players are not hardcore fans nor they care necessarily about the universe, they just want gameplay and OG Stalker games are oudated af

[light hollow]

And in the long run its only benefitial for the saga

[proven shadow]

The most annoying part is that normies play anomaly and think they know stalker lore and how stalker 2 should be

[light hollow]

You may not like anomaly or gamma, and thats fair criticism, but the saga is getting lots of new people

[hazy helm]

Anomaly isnt more acessible than other standalone mods that are freeplay neither is it better than many other standalone mods
if you really want to pull the free argument out of your ass then go pirate the games

[silver pagoda]

I know many people who bought OG Stalker games after finding out about anomaly mod, so say thanks to the mod team and move on if you dont like the mods lmfao

[sleek tundra]

And?

[gilded sentinel]

Ppl who don’t play it 💀

[sleek tundra]

I won't bend over backwards and praise a mod with objectively bad gameplay

[light hollow]

And more people = good

[sleek tundra]

How?

[light hollow]

Dude are you serious

[gilded sentinel]

💀

[proven shadow]

That same argument can be made for many games.. the point is there are other mods out there and many of them are just better and actually stalker like.

Anomaly fans arent really stalker fans lets be real..

[sleek tundra]

It doesn't really benefit me or the good part of the modding community

[silver pagoda]

Bro you think OG Deus ex is the coming of christ, nobody cares about your opinion lmao keep hating a mod you dont have to play religiously to get some slight satisfaction and move on, literally you wont stop people from enjoying a great mod

[gilded sentinel]

You have no idea how far is that from the truth

[sleek tundra]

I won't, but I'll piss them off and that's enough for me

[light hollow]

It benefits stalker 2 sales 🤑

[hazy helm]

whu

[light hollow]

Can you explain how or why at least

[sleek tundra]

Stalker 2 sales isn't me

[silver pagoda]

Imagine being a clinical case with low self esteem that you want to people piss off who simply enjoy a mod you dont like rofl

[sleek tundra]

Imagine being so childish that you can't understand the concept of a mod being objectively bad

[gilded sentinel]

You’re jk ?

[light hollow]

Again, explain it

[hazy helm]

can you guys please make arguments without insulting each other

[light hollow]

If I'm in the wrong at least give me an argument

[proven shadow]

Trashcan is a gatekeeper but I hate anomaly because it overshadows better mods and the vanilla games

[gilded sentinel]

Yuck fou

[silver pagoda]

Different taste different people, you keep hating like a miserable and sad little man though, remember: you. dont. have. to. play. it.

[hazy helm]

[sleek tundra]

That's nothing, wait until I check his skin color

[sleek tundra]

You don't have to read my comments either

[hazy helm]

what?wtf are you talking about,who brought taht up?why bring it up?

[light hollow]

Time is passing august ⏲️

[sleek tundra]

Poor Vasim, he doesn't know that we're extremely racist

[proven shadow]

Trashcan arent you the one who hated healing animations in stalker 2 trailer ??

[silver pagoda]

Trashcan is just sad at this point, probably 7cmer lmao

[gilded sentinel]

I’m not a native speaker and I’m not going to waste my time explaining why more ppl means more idiots

[light hollow]

Bruuuuuuuh

He literally called me an idiot 😢

[gilded sentinel]

Who skip og and than ask what wish granter is

[proven shadow]

Seriously.. idiot is allowed here but other words arent

[sleek tundra]

If too many people join and prefer anomaly over the vanilla games - AKA most of the playerbase - the devs are going to make stalker 2 to be more like anomaly and gamma

[light hollow]

I said that because I'm new

[light hollow]

The devs aren't obligated to

[silver pagoda]

What a moronic point of view, this guy literally tries to gatekeep something because he imagines devs would make a game like a mod

[light hollow]

They will do what they want

[proven shadow]

I dont care bro I am just amazed by the bot here. It censors many normie words or at least used to

[hazy helm]

which is why I say,the stereotypical anomaly player archetype is a vocal minority but I do find it sad that ppl outside the hobby may find these videos and assume that this is what it is
once you look inside,all that fluff is disproven

[light hollow]

Oh right, yeah

[silver pagoda]

Trashcan, I have a great idea. How about you go and make your own game and leave devs to make whatever you want (imagine hating an amazing addition like healing animations lmao)

[sleek tundra]

They kind of are when the playerbase is playing X a lot more than the original, they'd be nuts to keep the original feel of the game when it has a lot less players compared to the new one.

[proven shadow]

Its always fun to see anomaly vs vanilla fights.. gatekeepers in this community are so cringe

[gilded sentinel]

Exactly

[silver pagoda]

Trashcan is kind of purist zealot, pathetic thing to do over a video game lmfao

[sleek tundra]

It's not anomaly vs vanilla, it's anomaly vs itself, AKA judging it as a standalone game

[light hollow]

Trashcan

[silver pagoda]

''If too many people join and prefer anomaly over the vanilla games - AKA most of the playerbase - the devs are going to make stalker 2 to be more like anomaly and gamma''

Now we know why this guy fears anomaly so much

[light hollow]

Go play

[proven shadow]

Bro answer my question were you the dude who hated on healing animations ??

[hazy helm]

the player base is playing more story mods than freeplay mods
Like I said,the actual number that is playing anomaly religiously and wants Stalker 2 to be Anomaly 2 is like a laughable few,I could count them with all my fingers,its not a REAL concern

[gilded sentinel]

Anomaly is bad . Even if you want to play it , just go for Redux , Reality or Gamma , better in every way possible

[light hollow]

See Vasim gets it

[silver pagoda]

I play anomaly and dont expect S2 to be like anomaly bro not sure what you on about

[light hollow]

Dude let people play what they want

[sleek tundra]

I said the animations would be a bad addition if the game was designed like the vanilla games

[native skiff]

personally, I don’t care as long as you have fun and don’t bother others

[proven shadow]

EFP is the best imo with weapons overhaul turned off.

[gilded sentinel]

No

[hazy helm]

see,the picture that LT paints is wrong
in reality,ppl realize that mods are mods and the games are games

[light hollow]

YESSSSSSSSS

[nimble cipher]

Gordon#3419 has been warned

Reason: Capital letters

[sleek tundra]

Makes you question why you'd get it instead of gamma

[silver pagoda]

Y'all who hate anomaly so much in here sound like Twitter activist morons, you dont make a change, you just make people laugh btw

[light hollow]

I always forget the bot

[proven shadow]

Yea right listen no offence but I was there and I know what you said. I cant be on your side bro you are like the greatest gatekeeper in here

[hazy helm]

that sounds wrong

[proven shadow]

You want to repair barrel and trigger and stuff ? Get out of here stalker

[silver pagoda]

I love EFP tbh

[hazy helm]

dont play EFP to begin with,play Old World,better

[sleek tundra]

What do you mean? What I said was what I said, the animations would suck if the game is designed like the original vanilla games

[gilded sentinel]

You can also play nlc 7 👀

[hazy helm]

sektoras cant tell me otherwise,he''ll have to keep boldint me

[sleek tundra]

Besides, what's the deal with calling me a gatekeeper?

[silver pagoda]

Trashcan is twitter activist

[proven shadow]

I played it its pretty good.

I like efp over gamma cuz its just more guns with magazines and some custom ammo. Put slow motion mod and you got yourself a pretty good shooter ngl

[hazy helm]

already am suffering thru NLC

[silver pagoda]

Just ignore him and let him be the old man of the discord wanting to keep things pure and play what you want

[gilded sentinel]

Where you at ?

[sleek tundra]

Don't you already have that with Gamma?

[hazy helm]

I am at the beggining right after doing the starter quest with nimble,Im lingering in the cordon doing side quests

[gilded sentinel]

I’d rather ignore person who’s constantly screaming give anomaly a chance

[silver pagoda]

EFP also has custom exclusive weapons

[proven shadow]

Cuz you are a gatekeeper. You want game to be exactly the same and shun people who play anomaly like its your job. You literally said healing animations would ruin stalker 2.. a game which hasnt even released

[silver pagoda]

Ignore 'em all, nobody should tell you what to play

[hazy helm]

I mean I also agree with this sentiment,so

[gilded sentinel]

You found the cup already ?

[hazy helm]

not gonna even try,I do not need the computer,its useless

[gilded sentinel]

A very wise decision

[proven shadow]

Yea and I love that they stopped being like tarkov. The modpack took a different direction and it became its own thing. They have a big contracts war weapons submod that will change anomaly guns forever

[sleek tundra]

I shun Anomaly and the people who expect anomaly to be like the original games, sorry but criticizing a garbage mod doesn't equal to gatekeeping, especially since I don't even like the original stalker formula compared to some modded ones

[silver pagoda]

So trashcan's goal with hating anomaly is essentially to silence those who like anomaly better because of his irrational fear GSC might make the game like anomaly, lmfao

[spring abyss]

I juat hate anomaly bc he is sh!t 👍

[silver pagoda]

bolt boy ill 1v1 u on en_offtopic

[proven shadow]

Yea it does. Its not garbage. It has flaws but all mods do. Its fair to say anomaly isnt the only mod and its not a stalker game but chill

[sand fiber]

anomaly is a shit-ty mod that hurts the community by attracting people uninterested in anything but shiny guns
you're LITERALLY a GATEKEEPER!!! you want STAGNATION!!!!

[sleek tundra]

If it was up to me I'd make stalker 2 to be like NLC

[proven shadow]

If thats not gatekeeping idk what is

[gilded sentinel]

You monster

[hazy helm]

please no,youre wrong,please stop

Stalker 2 should be a total war game its obvious guys

[silver pagoda]

NLC aka phasmophobia with guns, glad u are not making stalker 2 trashcan lmao

[native skiff]

stalker VN would actually be fire

[proven shadow]

Stalker call of Ohio

[stark plover]

Good thing I'm not Albanian.

[silver pagoda]

thats STALCRAFT

[spring abyss]

Another thing, I don't understand why people are so stupid to protect the anomaly, you can't say a little thing and they start crying in your ear like a child (you're not one of them) they can't even take a joke without getting annoying patience and crying

[sand fiber]

Stalker 2 New Concept based on Stalker 2 Old Concept?

[hazy helm]

you wouldnt want me making stalker 2,Id maken it like the OG games,and base the game around Spamming consumables and being usain bolt with shiny rocks at your belt

[proven shadow]

:))) tbh I played it but its not my type. Idk I played too much stalker and it feels to easy and grindy

[silver pagoda]

i dont protect anomaly, i dont care if you like it or not but the subject is memeable with arguements and i respect all who dont like it, but trashcan is a virgin purist zealot at this point

[hazy helm]

you LIE

[gilded sentinel]

Good thing there’s only 2 million of them

[stark plover]

You know... I could've been adopted so maybe I am 🤔

[proven shadow]

Im Romanian so shut up or I will steal you

[sand fiber]

yeah, possible to keep in their containment
a buncha more millions and we'd be screwed

[hazy helm]

I bet Trashcan went to Greece after going out of Serbia

[spring abyss]

Like i said you're not one of them, but those anomaly fanboys really can't hear a critique to his precious mod whiteout crying loud about how stupid they are

[silver pagoda]

Id make anomaly a Sims game for real, run around picking up hot radiated b***ches all day

[sand fiber]

freedomer

[proven shadow]

Send Kratos to fight the zone next pls

[hazy helm]

next fortnite collab will be stalker

oh my god stalker X fortnite would be absolutely based

We need blood sucker skin in fortnite

With schlong

[silver pagoda]

Id teach him to play anomaly if he came here

[spring abyss]

Also, when the xbox stuff will start?

[silver pagoda]

22:00 Greece time so i guess 21:00 germany time

[hazy helm]

ho trust me,he has played anomaly,too much

[spring abyss]

Anybody bought Hogwards legacy to annoy twitter activists?

I bought 4 copies, but slytherin has the wettest p***ssy for real

[hazy helm]

shouldve preordered Atomic Heartl and Rogue Trader,same effect,better games

[spring abyss]

🤨

[silver pagoda]

I got atomic already, cant wait for 21 february bruv

[hazy helm]

you only lack Rogue Trader now

[proven shadow]

Ayo it releases this soom ???

[cobalt nexus]

I think most people who don’t like Anomaly are just saying so because it’s popular, same goes for Gamma. The same thing will happen with S2 if it’s popular.

[silver pagoda]

i dont like crpg games, too boring, too much reading and no combat impact lel

[hazy helm]

[proven shadow]

I want more 40k games. Good 40k games*

[spring abyss]

I still waiting for more atomic heart rule 34 content dlc

[sand fiber]

lmao

[proven shadow]

Gothic armada 2 was so good too bad they abandoned it

[spring abyss]

No

[gilded sentinel]

Best 40k game ever period

[sand fiber]

@silver pagoda please DO NOT donate me comical amounts of money it's hurtful and will annoy twitter activists

[gilded sentinel]

It even has its own little gothic armada

[silver pagoda]

Space marine 2 is coming this year, i dont care about any other warhammer game

[hazy helm]

I will donate you money,in the form of games

[proven shadow]

I like it. I dont like that it overshadows vanilla and other mods and that its being praised as the best thing ever. Same with gamma. Gamma simply isnt stalker.. its a hardcore weird mix

[silver pagoda]

Titus is coming to f**k shit up, and aint a damn thing yall heretics can do to stop the ultrasmurfs this time nerds

[proven shadow]

I would love a custodes game

Seriously make a golden banana boys game someone do it now

[silver pagoda]

I mean what would you do though, stand in a room all day guarding a throne?

[spring abyss]

Warhammer mod for warband >>>>>>>>>>

[gilded sentinel]

Standing in one golden room for hundred years

[sleek tundra]

That's really not true since I wrote an essay on why it's actually bad, besides, I like OGSR and it's popular

[silver pagoda]

U play warband? i love u

[proven shadow]

Indomitus sent them into the galaxy so no

[sleek tundra]

Well, more like a single paragraph, but you get the point

[spring abyss]

I already played every mab

[silver pagoda]

u are my new friend, vasim relation decreased

[hazy helm]

putting a nail in the coffin,the ammount of stupid ppl that say stuff like hooo anomaly is better than the OGs and new players should play it as an introduction to the series is a vocal minority taht isnt treated with any real reason
thats what LT is referring to,but he is blowing it out of porportions making it out that any anomaly player is like that,whihc is untrue

[hazy helm]

didnt like OGSR that much tbh,but its not the worst

[proven shadow]

Yeap.

[silver pagoda]

Just give me an Eternal Crusade game done properly in Triple A budget and i'm done with buying other games

[proven shadow]

Yea never gonna happen sadly 😦

[silver pagoda]

It will, its inevitable

[proven shadow]

I would like games about anything other than space marines. Custodes.. guardsman anything else.

[late copper]

One more help on Anomaly. Is there a way to increase the number of bullets dropped by dead NPCs?

[cobalt nexus]

Anomaly got me into the series I will admit. I’m 39 and was aware of the original games but didn’t have a PC at the time. I enjoy Anomaly and Gamma a lot but my favourite so far is SoC , I’m playing it unmodded right now.

[proven shadow]

There is probably a addon for that.

[silver pagoda]

I want space marines, but more divisions. Not just the space marines devastators etc. Inflitrators, reivers, eradicators etc.

[hazy helm]

go into the files and change the loot drop number in the games files

[proven shadow]

That but not smurfs pls. Anything but smurfs again. Give me salamanders pls

[sand fiber]

whenever we talk about anomaly some random person comes in and asks how to do something in it

[proven shadow]

And while we are at it not another strategy game would be good

[silver pagoda]

i'd take space wolves or continuation of blood ravens

[sand fiber]

this is a curse

[proven shadow]

Ye that works but SW got their game. So did blood angels and smurfs. We have so many more

[sleek tundra]

Every time we get a new member, they ask a question related to anomaly. "It's just the vocal minority, dude. Not everyone starts stalker just for anomaly"

[light hollow]

You can ask that in the anomaly discord

[silver pagoda]

There are also leaks that sega might be making a new dawn of war

[vernal magnet]

Idk where all the goldeneye talk in here came from but I do have the scrapped 360 remake image backed up for those in need

[proven shadow]

I hope they make it like the first game. The last game was sadge

[light hollow]

Trashcan on his way to throw the worst take possible

[sand fiber]

I mean, i doubt lots of players of original games would have questions about it they can't look up on wiki

[hazy helm]

the ammount of ppl that start with the games is a lot larger than these kidns

[sleek tundra]

Good point

[silver pagoda]

I like both 1 and 2, 2 felt more personal

[proven shadow]

Blame the dozens of ytbers who only talk about anomaly

[hazy helm]

its skewed perception like nozar said

[proven shadow]

2 was more personal but dawn of war eternal crusade had the sickest burns

[silver pagoda]

bro i loved the campaign of vanilla 2 so much

[cobalt nexus]

Can we keep the Warhammer talk to #💬┃en_offtop

[silver pagoda]

Scientists managed to tap into the... noosphere, and what do we have a decade later? Halo infinite

[light hollow]

Can we keep the stalker talk to #💬┃en_offtop pls uwu

[hazy helm]

btw dont expect stalker 2 to be at xbox direct

doesnt seem likely

[silver pagoda]

it wont be, its for in-house studios only

Arkane Redfall, Bethesda ESO, starfield gets a seperate showcase later in february

[hazy helm]

@pseudo rivet when are we playing fallout tatics coop????

[cobalt nexus]

It’s literally the only game that has a chance of releasing this year

[hazy helm]

what S2?hahahaha hahahahha hahahahhaha

[silver pagoda]

Starfield, Redfall all release this year and its first party games of Microsoft

[proven shadow]

Stalker 2 and cyberpunk dlc are pretty much the only games I care about rn

[sand fiber]

why

[pseudo rivet]

X on that being possible

[sand fiber]

There is coop in tactics??????

[hazy helm]

X on your X
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vIMEW2t6Pk

[pseudo rivet]

Based X, my dude

[silver pagoda]

Space Marine 2, Stalker 2, Dead Island 2, Redfall, Starfield, Sons of the Forest, Last of us PC, Pioner (stalker-esque mmo), Atomic Heart

[patent cargo]

I dont think the game is going to be realesed this year

[sand fiber]

i'm so unsure about redfall

[cobalt nexus]

Maybe Redfall but Starfield won’t. It’s going to be Mass Effect andromeda 2

[silver pagoda]

Oh and dead space remake in 2 days seeeeeesh

[hollow hull]

Yall think if nothing is shown with stalker 2 on the xbox developer direct, that the game is delayed like some guy on steam said?

[pseudo rivet]

How real, tho

[silver pagoda]

Bro xbox direct has nothing to do with stalker 2, its about first party titles of Microsoft, maybe we see things in E3 or something

[sand fiber]

l4d coop stalker far cry immersive sim sounds like too much

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl, the only one I'm excited for is Space Marine 2

[proven shadow]

If game doesnt release this year I will personally use my hoi4 and total war skillz to end the war

[pseudo rivet]

Don't care about S.T.2: HoC

[hazy helm]

tatics has multiplayer already on so most likely they ported it to the main story

[cobalt nexus]

Try telling Xbox fans that. They talk like S2 is first party

[sand fiber]

Vasim, when are we playing Fallout Brotherhood of Steel coop for PS2?

[pseudo rivet]

Isn't this just singleplayer with each person controlling one character?

[silver pagoda]

Microsoft has a deal with GSC for gamepass and exclusivity but its not a first party title since GSC is not their studio. I hope im wrong but im 99% sure we wont see anything today about S2

[hazy helm]

its portrayed as COOP so I believe lmao
I may be wrong,and if I am,I will be sad,so so sad

[pseudo rivet]

Thought they said so in the beginning

[hollow hull]

First party title is only for studios that microsoft owns?

[silver pagoda]

Yes

[cobalt nexus]

What has a bigger chance of releasing this year? S2 or The day before?

[sand fiber]

yes that's why it's first party

[hollow hull]

Ok probably nothing being shown today then, so false flag from the person on steam

[sand fiber]

what is The day before?

[hazy helm]

they said remote desktop GODAMMIT
I mean we could play COOP maps

[pseudo rivet]

Told you

[silver pagoda]

You never know, but the probability is definitely not good, Its mostly going to be arkane and bethesda crap

[cobalt nexus]

It’s actually vanished from Steam.

[sand fiber]

what is it

[silver pagoda]

Day before got delayed for 9 months

[hazy helm]

I wanted it to be rela

[hollow hull]

Its no longer on steam?

[silver pagoda]

due to trademark issues, its probably a fake game after all lol

[pseudo rivet]

Same, I'd hella go with Snake again and piss the hell out of you

[hazy helm]

[silver pagoda]

Yeah it happened yesterday. They said its a steam glitch but then they came out and said its delayed for 9 months because of trademark issues

[hazy helm]

this scam game taht was DMCA'd off steam

[cobalt nexus]

It’s a very popular Unreal 5 tech demo that people hoped would one day become a game. The Day Before like Anthem was faked then built after.

[pseudo rivet]

Okay, but fr, what kind of new thing does it even bring to the table, because it just looks like a clone of already existing games

[sand fiber]

What the hell its "gameplay demo" looks like that coca cola GTA commercial

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, come on, it even uses the stupid Last of Us font

[sand fiber]

ai generated videogame

[pseudo rivet]

It's just a clone

[hazy helm]

its a scam game what do you expect?

[silver pagoda]

Division is the most boring crap ive ever played i am not even sure why yall excited for the Fake Before

[cobalt nexus]

I wish it went up for preorder to teach people a lesson not to preorder

[spring abyss]

Nah, nothing is more boring then booderlands without coop

[sand fiber]

there were at least 2000 lessons to not preorder in the last ~25 years, gamers will never learn

[light hollow]

I am excited for the True After tho.......

[silver pagoda]

pre ordered stalker 2 suck me

[light hollow]

Duuuuuuuuuuuude

[spring abyss]

"Pre-pre order the game that we jusr think about and he not even got a engine"

[silver pagoda]

Bro you could not even pre order Fake Before as far as i know

[cobalt nexus]

I get preordering a physical edition with collectables but there is literally no point in preordering a digital game

[silver pagoda]

dev team probably a bunch of trolls

[sand fiber]

as well as fake games, there were countless examples of just straight up scams yet people get hyped about anything anyway

[spring abyss]

It's literally a Division copy from what I've seen

That and TLoU

[finite summit]

go ahead and say that a lot of AAA projects have their first trailers pre-rendered

[cobalt nexus]

There’s no way they had it running like that already with those assets. It’s was all faked made in engine

[sand fiber]

what trailer are you talking about

[finite summit]

The first gameplay trailer

[cobalt nexus]

The first gameplay trailer. Maybe in 2021.

[sand fiber]

what makes you think it's fake lmao

[cobalt nexus]

The Stalker 2 one was probably faked too

[sand fiber]

it's just paranoia at this point

[finite summit]

Idk, maybe the long artifact pick up animation which would definitely have no place in gameplay

[cobalt nexus]

It’s not paranoia, it’s how most games are created these days.

[sand fiber]

artefacts in starfield real???

[pseudo rivet]

Lmfao

This convo honk

[cobalt nexus]

I’m talking about the original Stalker 2 gameplay trailer btw. The latest one looks totally real

[spring abyss]

Paranoia, the half life mod where you can play as a russian special forces and shoot soviet zombies while try to reach your useless knife to get some broken melee combat

[finite summit]

Unless the devs were indeed inspired by far cry and their skinning animations

[sand fiber]

🤡🤡

[empty hull]

[pseudo rivet]

It's real. Doesn't matter either, we haven't really had a good trailer of S.T.2

[sand fiber]

long weird animations is something that devs do so it's not that unreasonable

[sand fiber]

Paranoia Agent, anime by some cool guy i think

[spring abyss]

Paranoia, that movie where a guy harass his neighbor until they found that his is actually a serial killer

[finite summit]

Paranoia, that song by Black Sabbath

[cobalt nexus]

Anyway…Starfield will get delayed again. Bethesda is in over there head. Creating a such a massive game is very complex. They haven’t even been able to create a game on a 15 square mile map that isn’t riddled with bugs.

[pseudo rivet]

Nobody cares about Starfield

[sand fiber]

Paranoia, a medical diagnosis

[finite summit]

But it's literally No Man's Sky 2

[pseudo rivet]

Paranoia, that mini boss from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

[sand fiber]

it's worse

[pseudo rivet]

It's worse...

||It's Bethesda-made||

[late copper]

Maybe because is a Stalker game based. Just maybe....

[cobalt nexus]

No in NMS you can fly to a planets surface and land. In Starfield you can’t

[finite summit]

I know that it's a Bethesda game, but it's the closest thing we have to No Man's Sky 2

[sand fiber]

procedurally generated planets with MMORPG gameplay that feels like another skyrim

[pseudo rivet]

You mean a STALKER mod

[sand fiber]

and?

not a game btw yeah, a shit mod

[hazy helm]

hmm?

you alerted the vasim

Shadow of Chernobyl is a mod for Anomaly

[pseudo rivet]

Most who've played it haven't played all the Vanilla games either, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sand fiber]

clear sky is based on scar's return 2

[cobalt nexus]

Even though we are way off topic this discord is for Stalker games created by GSC. For Anomaly questions use their discord. I would strongly suggest playing the original games first if you haven’t.

[pseudo rivet]

CoP is based on Priboi Story, but just really sucked at doing... well, anything really

[hazy helm]

that is merely a vocal minority

[pseudo rivet]

🤨

[spring abyss]

Vasim hate minorities

[pseudo rivet]

Of course we do, we're gamers

[spring abyss]

😎

[cobalt nexus]

I hate everyone equally.

Doesn't matter, the reference shall still live on

[pseudo rivet]

All gamers do

[spring abyss]

Yeah fr-ench

[finite summit]

Based Vasim

[sand fiber]

gamers never change...

[pseudo rivet]

AAA games do, by the roads they walk

And this road has come to an end

[timid trail]

Hey guys, I have a friend that have a problem with the Gunslinger mod for Cop, but I don’t know if it’s a bug or something but the minimap doesn’t show the numbers of people around him, he is playing the game at Stalker difficulty

[cobalt nexus]

There may be a mod to restore the original minimap I’m not sure

[spring abyss]

Hm maybe the gunslinger devs have removed it on purpose, i do this too on my mod, you can add it back if you got the ui* script

[spring abyss]

They are talking about the npc counter

[timid trail]

Yes that’s right

[cobalt nexus]

Doesn’t gunslinger have a custom minimap?

[timid trail]

Thanks for the help.

[spring abyss]

If you unpack the game you acess it, also I'm not sure if it will work but you can try download the smurt hud for coc and use only his ui addon minimap hud
It's on a subfolder

Don't forget to use a mod manager

[timid trail]

Oh ok, I will investigate. No problem. Thank you 😃

[fading ridge]

Hello, I would like to know how to open a support window to consult a question

[hazy helm]

sorry?if you want to ask GSC a question go to #🔍┃ask_gscarchive

[fading ridge]

ok thx

[dry imp]

is it about the game? you could just ask here

[silver pagoda]

En_offtop watch along party xbox when it starts?

[dry imp]

its not going to be there

but go ahead i guess

[spring abyss]

Based, i made the s2 dutyer bro

[dry imp]

[spring abyss]

#🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[spring abyss]

So, no sdalger?
3 hours of a super sh!t game called redfall?
Good joob ms

[hazy helm]

why would you think there would be sdalger???GSC isnt part of Microsoft studios

[spring abyss]

We are talking about that today

Brick.gif

[vernal magnet]

just got back from the xbox showcase and what can i say

[dry imp]

but they are releasing on xbox?

[full estuary]

no on android

[vernal magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointing-snape-harry-potter-serious-gif-10575424

[dry imp]

and ios

[hazy helm]

the show is ONLY for Microsoft studios
what you talk about,is a publishing contract
they are different things you moron

[spring abyss]

Yeah, redfall looks like a mobile game

[dry imp]

man vasim on it today

[tender torrent]

we'll have to wait until E3 2023 for a real Stalker 2 announcement

[dry imp]

hope you feel better buddy

[hazy helm]

[amber tendon]

welp developer direct was disappointing

[dry imp]

(he's just upset because sdalger wasnt shown )

[spring abyss]

And them booom
Stalker call of chernokyl announcement
Made by gst
Games Sylky and Tampico

[tender torrent]

The game must be further refined, take your laurels and rest, the developers need temos to continue working and bring us an even better game

[dry imp]

thats what I SAID when when YOU were uh when you uh when

[amber tendon]

we are all upset

but it shouldn't let us down

[tender torrent]

I take back the comment to make it clear to everyone that the game is still being refined and that necessarily, it still takes time, it will be useless to want everything too quickly, that's how it is

[spring abyss]

No, CocK announcement on e3

[coarse reef]

idk why people always assume that stalker 2 will appear at every gaming event

[tender torrent]

[spring abyss]

It's bc we don't saw him anywhere so they should be somewhere

Lemma check the sony event, maybe stalker will be there

[tender torrent]

because they are too hyped

[coarse reef]

there could be like some fricking dota live event in the jungles of vietnam streamed on youtube and people will just be like "waow no stalger? thanks gsc"

[hardy bear]

it wasn't listed on their website as being present so I assumed it wasn't going to appear

[spring abyss]

I don't blame gsc, i blame bethesda bc bethesda sucks

[tender torrent]

We can't go faster than the music, unfortunately, that's how it is, having a quiet party and taking care of yourself

[spring abyss]

Tasks today
Hate bethesda ✅

[dry imp]

the release date also isnt listed

[coarse reef]

it is listed, soon™️

[dry imp]

get this man a

[spring abyss]

Soon like 2030 or soon like half life 3?

[tender torrent]

Bethesda wanting to buy Xbox, and trying at all costs to try to make games as quickly as possible seeing Sony largely exceeded them from the point of view of games

[spring abyss]

Xbox, bethesda? Wake up dude it's 2005 let's play return to castle wolfenstein

[tender torrent]

I quit since Skyrim actually

[dry imp]

get this man a 🤓

[tender torrent]

Life is worth all the value in the world than being permanently locked up in video games without having a real life

[dry imp]

what?

[delicate chasm]

love that game. played the hell out of it as a kid

used to remember every secret place

[spring abyss]

Yep, i like the real return to castle wolfenstein too

[delicate chasm]

and that music is forever ingrained in my mind, and every sound of the game

[spring abyss]

I'm trying to check the console versions, they got prologue maps

[delicate chasm]

wdym "real" RCTW?

[spring abyss]

👍
Good mod

Theres one too for doom 2

[delicate chasm]

Never played it O_o just looked it up

might try it out. We have to close work today early because of a snowstorm so I get stuff to do now lol

[spring abyss]

They are pure junky, but really fun

[spring abyss]

Also, it's a good time to play blood again
I'm trying the extra cryspy mod but it's not working with the gog version

[delicate chasm]

I wasn't the biggest fan of the newer games though I must admit the Hendrix scene made me tear up

my dad felt nostalgic and played them a lot more than i did lol

[spring abyss]

I kinda like it, it's fun

But that coop one with the Bj daughters is really bad

[spring abyss]

😎

[deep heron]

when do companies usually stop allowing the physical pre-orders

[bronze valve]

Im playing stalker clear sky

How do i go underground for returning duty member's case

[worthy lagoon]

Talk with the leader of Duty

He will tell you how to get underground

[bronze valve]

The door to the building is locked

I can't get anymore quests from duty unless i finish return case

[worthy lagoon]

Are you hostile to them or what?

That's weird

[bronze valve]

Door is locked to the leader of duty

No

I have like almost 1 square

The rep thing

[worthy lagoon]

What Faction are you

[bronze valve]

Loner

[worthy lagoon]

Oh okay

[bronze valve]

Do i have to restart

[worthy lagoon]

You should reload the save before accepting the case task

So you know if the leader door is open

[bronze valve]

Its locked

Is there any console command to cancel the task?

[worthy lagoon]

Reload a different save

Before you took the case task

[bronze valve]

Bruh i don't

I used quicksave

I found the hole but i need permission

[delicate chasm]

People here get the weirdest bugs

[bronze valve]

How do i talk to the duty leader

Hq door is locked

Have to kill freedom

Ok nvm

Killing freedomers does not make duty love you

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah, maybe you should use hard saves too

[tidal eagle]

you need to progress the story missions, raid them labs boy

[tidal eagle]

Oh damn, that's another issue entirely
That can happen if player starts blasting people inside rostok, you should try rolling saves if you have any, or just keep playing, and wait for it to unlock itself.

[bronze valve]

I never entered rostok

[worthy lagoon]

At what part of your main quest are you? @bronze valve

[bronze valve]

Its trying to make me do stuff for freedom

Do i kill them all to get onto duty path?

[worthy lagoon]

No lol

[worthy lagoon]

Finish your main quest first

Then it will tell you to go to the Duty

[bronze valve]

That involves helping freedom

[worthy lagoon]

That's how the story goes

[delicate chasm]

Did people fcking forget how to read or what

[bronze valve]

I cant complete it i just attacked freedom

[worthy lagoon]

Reload a save

[bronze valve]

I have to see if my autosave doesnt have the bad rep

[delicate chasm]

Like literally read your tasks and look at the PDA to assess who you're gonna have to deal with

[bronze valve]

Ok found it

[bronze valve]

I have to deliver ammo

[worthy lagoon]

Yeah, next time hard save too

[long harbor]

but not too much

i remember hard-saving like it was quicksave when i first started playing stalker

a bit annoying, but works extremely ell, takes up a lot of space though

[tidal eagle]

yeah, you learn to impulsively hard save every like.... 12 minutes

[long harbor]

12 minutes? bro i save it every time i kill an enemy or finish an objective

i used to hard-save every 3-5 minutes

[bronze valve]

Question

Why do bandits instantly fill depot after i leave it for a few minutes

[sleek tundra]

Welcome to my life, Wolf

[light hollow]

Go play the damn game

[silent oyster]

anyone here played oblivion lost?

remake 2.5

[solid dome]

Because C-Con said so

[lament dew]

would yall accept stalker 2 adding skills and skill point allocation

somewhat like what fallout does but more realistic

[solid dome]

No place be empty whatsoever

[solid dome]

No need for that

Better focus on the wep customization & artifacts

[lament dew]

or probably like realistic experience gain

[solid dome]

Wep customization would be better imho

[lament dew]

like the longer you stay in the zone the better you hone your combat skills and such

[solid dome]

Dunno. I myself find skill points too much.

[lament dew]

im not saying skill points

its like gaining passive field experience

faster reloads, less flinching from getting shot, etc.

[solid dome]

Sounds too much like CoD stuff to me

[lament dew]

you dont expect most rookies to know how to handle guns and how to fight

[solid dome]

Well-well

Nowadays even kids can handle firearms. Times changed.

[lament dew]

especially gen z mfs

oh wait

im one of those mfs

[solid dome]

Too much FPS games have the skill point system

What year you're born, mfer @lament dew

Don't tell me 2006. The day the 2nd Accident occured.

[lament dew]

Close, but no artifact.

[solid dome]

2004?

2001?

you were as hot as the circus anomaly with 2006

[lament dew]

nyes

[sleek tundra]

[lament dew]

i am sadly younger than shrek

[glossy ore]

better to just leave stat changes to suits/upgrades or equipped artifacts

i want to reexpernice playing plant vs zombies for the first time

[sand fiber]

It's so dark in here... Almost as if i'm under the Shadow of Chernobyl

[sleek tundra]

I have to answer... the call of pripyat

[hazy helm]

Today I'm not gonna have a Clear Sky

[sand fiber]

this isn't a joke it's literally the plotpoint of CoP THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED COP

[sleek tundra]

Shut up, Noz

Think my Heart of Chernobyl won't last the cold today

CoPs and Bandits: Rapellent

[bronze valve]

Why do bandits instantly spawn in depot

[spring abyss]

Soc?

[solid dome]

Because it is their rape spot. Don't go there. It's a wild gangbang. DISCLAIMER FOR EVERYONE.

[spring abyss]

[cyan canopy]

Bandit shaker

[solid dome]

[solid dome]

What are you, denying the WEATHER FORECAST?

[sand fiber]

it's full of lies

It's Clear Sky today

[bronze valve]

CS

[spring abyss]

In brazil we only get the weather forecast right twice a year, because everyone here refuses to use glm or satellites

[spring abyss]

Download the infinite spawn fix, skill issue

[bronze valve]

I only know how to mod stalker anomaly

[cyan canopy]

Beuh

[spring abyss]

get out
GET OUT

[lament dew]

in the philippines there are none, its a game of roulette

[bronze valve]

Gamma*

[cyan canopy]

Have you ever play Call Of Chernobyl

[bronze valve]

No

[cyan canopy]

Try it its good

[bronze valve]

Why did everyone get mad at when i said i mod stalker anomaly

[cyan canopy]

Start with Ecologist or Loner

[bronze valve]

But not stalker gamma

[cyan canopy]

And edit game_relation.ltx

Change the value between freedom and clear sky into neutrals

[bronze valve]

I only have CS

[lament dew]

play it

[hazy helm]

I mean,you should start Stalker franchise with SoC then play CS and then play CoP but anyway

[solid dome]

Get out of here, Anomalous Bread

[sleek tundra]

Stalker anomaly is hated because it's generally just a bad game, it takes away a lot of what made stalker special and whatever was left sucks

[cyan canopy]

Also Set bandits and mercs neutral eatch other too

[lament dew]

nobody likes a gamer who goes straight to anomaly without playing a game in the trilogy

[solid dome]

Get out of here, Anomalous Bread. Get out.

[bronze valve]

Im trying to main Duty

[lament dew]

get out before i shove a spider web in your face

[cyan canopy]

I play CS first ,but that kinda good idea for new player

[solid dome]

Outta here, stallker

[hazy helm]

CS relies on established mechanics and story points+lore from SoC so that's where ppl should start

[lament dew]

start with the game with the jankiest mechanics then work your way up

[solid dome]

CS sucks because the Swamps have tall grass

[cyan canopy]

The best weapon in CS is ToZ34 sheet that weapon very overpower at beginning

[lament thunder]

Just finished Clear Sky. I didnt like the gunplay. Last map was cancer

[cyan canopy]

I wonder why it was cut in SoC even tought the weapon still can be spawnable with debug menu

[bronze valve]

Then stalker mobile edition

[sand fiber]

last map as in cnpp or hospital

[sand fiber]

it exists lol

[cyan canopy]

Limansk is very hell

[bronze valve]

I cant even play because i can't understand Ukrainian

[sand fiber]

wdym

[bronze valve]

There's no version of stalker mobile in english

[hazy helm]

The Hospital is cool,I like the arena,but the bugs with pathfinding and the helicopter bring it a peg down...
And I didn't really like the CNPP boss fight tbh

[sand fiber]

ah

[bronze valve]

Im american and whoever made stalker mobile edition put it in ukranian (or russian idk) so i don't know what to do so i just kill everyone in rookie village and steal wolf's aks74u

[lament thunder]

Cnpp when you are engaging Strelok

[hazy helm]

CS should've based their story around the faction war concept just like they planned to

[glossy ore]

winning faction goes to the center of the zone and gets their brain fried, a win-win

[lament thunder]

Another thing i felt was that you didnt have much use for new guns. I stuck with my upgraded ak74 for the whole game. Since when i found new guns they where worse in their upgraded state and there where no one to upgrade them unless i backtracked along way

[hazy helm]

This I do not aggree with,while yes weapons you find after Limansk are less useful since you can't upgrade them weapons you get while doing the game before Limansk work into the ladder of progression,with the upgrade system so long as you use it to your advantage and build

[solid dome]

Yeah I dislike that crap

You have to walk 500 kms to the technician to upgrade your stuff then go back. What the heck.

[lament thunder]

What is the easiest way to change your FOV in COP?

[spring abyss]

I think theres a mod for it

[lament thunder]

Yeah, i found something i try that.

[dry imp]

sit closer

[finite dragon]

in stalker soc on steam, are Zone Reclamation Project, Absolute Texture pack, multi-pack and patch 1.0008 compatible with each other?

[spring abyss]

Multi pack is for 1.0006
Absolutely nature is just a texture mod

Zrp work with 1.0004 1.0005 1.0006

[finite dragon]

then why is there a unoficial patch for stalker if it isn't compatible with other mods?

[spring abyss]

What?

[finite dragon]

https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/503-stalker-shadow-of-chernobyl-unofficial-patch-10008/

[spring abyss]

And?

[finite dragon]

why is this patch not compatible with other mods?

[spring abyss]

I dunno, ask that the devs

[finite dragon]

i'm gonna ask them on ask gsc

[spring abyss]

I only know what its write on the requirements
Multi-pack is for 1.0006
Zrp 1.0004 to 1.0006

1.0008 is not official

[pulsar hollow]

Stalker gonna have raytracing for xsx?

[finite dragon]

is it worth the patch then? or i should ignore it?

[spring abyss]

Ignore it

[dry imp]

oh yeah i ws wondering that too

well not for xbox

[pulsar hollow]

1?

[hazy helm]

You'll have to wait until we get more info

[finite dragon]

did they say if it's going to be xbox-pc mp crossover?

[spring abyss]

Hum it's possible, both will be on the live

Like the pc and the xbox live, it really should have a integrated multi-player

[dry imp]

im not sure they did but that would be cool if they did

[pulsar hollow]

Depends what's the gamesplays like is it more like cod or seige

[hazy helm]

They haven't made any comments or promises on mp except it's a separate client

[spring abyss]

GET OUT GET OUT

[nimble cipher]

Sylky#5506 has been warned

Reason: Capital letters

[hazy helm]

Neither

[pulsar hollow]

What's it's like then tarkov?

[finite dragon]

i hope separate client doesn't mean separate game

[pulsar hollow]

Stalker game but like fallout 76 with tye regular game play but with others

[hazy helm]

Stalker MP takes heavy inspiration from counter strike and quake in many regards

I expect the new one to be faithful to the old ones since quake and counter strike culture in Russia and Eastern countries is still quite strong

I certainly hope not,and I'm very hopeful on this one

[hazy helm]

The developers have already said countless of times there would be no coop

[scenic phoenix]

Helloo

[finite dragon]

I’m thinking about preorder stalker 2 but I’ve never preordered a game before out of fear.

[dry imp]

dont. it doesn't even have a release date. for other games it makes sense but this is the worst occasion to preorder. wait for a release date.

[finite dragon]

That’s what I was worried about. Remember when it was supposed come out in April 2022? Pepperidge farms remembers

[dry imp]

[finite dragon]

[solid dome]

Dude I should stop with the walls of text over in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive before I get bananed for asking TOO MUCH

[stark plover]

no Krezzin don't stop, keep asking. what's the worst that could happen besides a million answers?

[dry imp]

now take a look at mine

[solid dome]

I'm on the quest to ask 50 and 100 questions. 100 being the highest milestone.

[solid dome]

You almost always ask stupid questions, bruverino

[dry imp]

is there rtx

[solid dome]

You should ask why is Griga texting you on Tik tok every Sunday at noon. Don't be shy.

[cobalt nexus]

Ew TikTok. I dunno, I personally don’t like giving a company partially owned by the Chinese government access to my phone camera and microphone

[dry imp]

okay!

[hazy helm]

You already have discord lmao

I mean I also hate tik tok but...

[dry imp]

discord is literally owned by pedos and groomers so i wouldn't say its any better

[cobalt nexus]

Touché….Touché

[spring abyss]

Basically the internet

[cobalt nexus]

Anyway… I have found a physical version of SoC in mint condition with the booklet and sleeve. Should I buy it? It’s a tad expensive.

[finite dragon]

the multipatch is already installed on steam versions of soc?

[cobalt nexus]

Yeah I think it is. I tried rolling back my version on GOG to 1.005 because 1.006 is actually buggier if that makes sense. I couldn’t figure out how to do it which is one of the reasons why I’m buying the disc version

[finite dragon]

thanks

[finite dragon]

because i wanted to install the multi patch and says i don't have the game installed even if i did

[night sluice]

are the developers even alive

[cobalt nexus]

@finite dragon Try see if the answer is on here https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:_Shadow_of_Chernobyl

[cobalt nexus]

That’s not really funny. The game is being developed in Czech Republic now.

[night sluice]

no i am asking actual question

because i heard they are fight in ukraine

[cobalt nexus]

I think we try not to talk about that on here. There’s people from both countries in this channel.

[dry imp]

i think we do talk about it because its a very important current event

[night sluice]

i am interested because i downloaded stalker soc again and think where is stalker 2

[spring abyss]

We already got a trailer very recently

[hearty vigil]

It’s there yeah, both of them.

[finite dragon]

how do you fix the vsync then?

[hearty vigil]

pre1.0007

[finite dragon]

v.1.0007?

[hazy helm]

Go to options,advanced and turn off vsync 60hz

[spring abyss]

Based

[finite dragon]

ok thanks

[hearty vigil]

No, pre1.0007.

In steam beta tab

[finite dragon]

ok

[cobalt nexus]

The latest version is 1.0006.

[finite dragon]

why can't just work the vsync?

[spring abyss]

It's even on the requirements of the multipath
1.0006

[spring abyss]

Just play the game bro

[hazy helm]

BC it's not capping the frame rate at the Hz of your monitor but calling it at 60,it's in the name

[cobalt nexus]

Why do you want vsync? Just limit the frames to match your monitors refresh rate.

[glacial quartz]

is dynamic seasons confirmed or is it only dynamic weather?

[spring abyss]

Bannerlord got dynamic seasons 😎

[cobalt nexus]

Seasons are in the season pass

[glacial quartz]

dynamic seasons would be so nice to have such as snowfalls and remains there

but i believe even if it's not a feature we might get it through modern modding

[cobalt nexus]

It will most likely be modded in later if it’s not part of Vanilla

[glacial quartz]

yeah i agree, i love the new graphics, story etc but what i am most excited for is the endless modding for stalker in next gen fashion

if modders could keep the games from a decade ago in such good shape imagine what we will get from the new modding system.........

might need one terabyte of SSD solely for stalker 2

[cobalt nexus]

Oh yeah. The first mod I’m going to make is performing and recording the pre order camp fire songs and releasing them for everyone.

[glacial quartz]

ill buy everything available once they release it

i am also gonna play with my partner, so i hope co-op is a thing

[cobalt nexus]

I don’t think co op is included

[glacial quartz]

didn't they mention a multiplayer mode?

[cobalt nexus]

It’s team deathmatch

[hazy helm]

I don't understand this since you'd neve stay in the zone long enuff to see the effects unless the story involves time jumps

[hazy helm]

The developers have already said that they're against coop and won't be adding it

[cobalt nexus]

I do think not having shared world multiplayer is a missed opportunity. If it was just like single player but 10 characters on the map are real players it would make things interesting while not messing with the lore. But I understand why it’s not included, too much work post launch to maintain

[hazy helm]

I'm expecting the multiplayer to be a evolution of what we had in the originals

[dry imp]

battle royale

[cobalt nexus]

Extraction battle Royale with paid skins

[glossy ore]

Artifact Ball

[dry imp]

exactly broo

[hazy helm]

Inb4 Stalker 2 MP is the revival of arena shooters

[formal rapids]

Hey has anyone here got any tips for me for building a pc

[dry imp]

yes

[glacial quartz]

so stalker 2 is solely single player? darn i was hoping to play it with my girl since i keep telling her how awesome the game is

[dry imp]

what are you looking for

[formal rapids]

Messaged you

[hearty vigil]

It is not, pre1.0007 is the latest version of the game.

[hazy helm]

There will be a online mode added later after release but the game is supposed to be single player
No coop,and the online will be a separate thing,a separate client too

[hearty vigil]

It is not, there will be multiplayer modes like in original game, just no coop.

Cause that ruins the immersion, yk? Feeling of loneliness and all that stuff.

[hazy helm]

Hoping it's an evolution of the OGs multiplayer
It's a lotta fun

[hearty vigil]

yeah, CS one is pretty well balanced

[cobalt nexus]

Never heard of that version. It says in the bottom left of the menu screen 1.0006

[hearty vigil]

Then you got 1.0006 installed.

[glacial quartz]

How will the modding work if for example 2 people want their own server?

[hazy helm]

We dunno,from what I am expecting you won't be able to mod the online portion,and don't expect a coop mod for the game either

[hearty vigil]

I don’t think multiplayer modding has been announced.

[glacial quartz]

Jesus that's not good

[hearty vigil]

Eh, modding sucks anyway.

[hazy helm]

Ok...

[glacial quartz]

I wanted to mod the game and be able to play some sort of online with my friends

[hearty vigil]

Just play how devs intended and that’s it:

[glacial quartz]

You say what mate

[hearty vigil]

This will not be possible even if online modding is here.

[hazy helm]

yheeeerrrrr don't expect it

[hearty vigil]

People could mod x-Ray, all coop projects still failed. It’s HUGE amount of work, absolutely huge,

[cobalt nexus]

Yep 1.0006 is the latest version of SoC but GSC has revoked it. They recommended 1.0005 but steam and GOG push 1.0006 for some reason

[hearty vigil]

They never revoked it? What? Where do you even get that info from? And why do you keep insisting 1.0006 is the latest one when pre1.0007 has been released for years now?

[glacial quartz]

Honestly I was expecting a system like rust or ark survival evolved....

[cobalt nexus]

Too much admin post launch for that. Dealing with complaints, cheaters and balancing

[hazy helm]

Why would you?we never had that in the OGs!

[hearty vigil]

It’s not coming and people won’t be able to mod it in for years. Online coding is hell.

[hazy helm]

Netcode you mean,yhea like I said modding this kind of stuff in is VERY VERY hard even with source code available,with UE5?with only a SDK?don expect it to be done ever

[hearty vigil]

You basically have to write twice the amount of existing code for every object to perform client-server sync.

[glacial quartz]

Well playing with a friend or partner is rather very important in modern gaming, and modding together is even better

[hearty vigil]

That’s what both Ray of Hope and XRMPE failed at, they tried to do coop in a short timespan and now they’re in development hell for years.

[hazy helm]

sorry then bro,this game series quite antiquated

[glacial quartz]

I don't want to enter the game with random people stuck with a buggy base game being camped by 5 pk'ers

[hazy helm]

I hope it'll be an arena shooter,you?!

[glacial quartz]

Lol ok

[hazy helm]

Let the Russians do it
They're the ones that made Quake-based Lore Books
They will revive the arena shooter scene

[glacial quartz]

Arena shooters are shit

[hazy helm]

you are entitled to a wrong opinion

[glacial quartz]

And you are persistent to a questionable taste

[cobalt nexus]

There’s Stalker servers for DayZ

[grim palm]

"after years of work, a group of modders managed to tap into the xray engine. The Zone's informational field. And what do we have a decade later? Mods. In our image after our likeness."

[glacial quartz]

Yeah I am playing a stalker server on dayz atm, quite sad we won't get something similar

[hazy helm]

Bruh you calling me anomaly ugly?that's too low an insult!

[grim palm]

cheeki breeki

[hazy helm]

I for one am happy that they confirmed it won't be a larping fest

[glacial quartz]

It doesn't hurt to have co-op though, some people have friends and close people to enjoy games together.
Especially now the gaming community is 10 year old kids

PvP mode as an addition? Sure thing why not

[hazy helm]

IG,if the game wasn't designed for the ground up to be coop centric it won't work well,and the developers have said so,coop would hurt their vision,it's not Smth they wanna do thus they aren't going to do it
I respect it

[tender torrent]

10-year-old child whose parents are totally overwhelmed

[cobalt nexus]

The more I think about it the more I’m glad it’s just single player for the main part. I don’t want to play with friends. Multiplayer tdm or whatever will be fun but I’m all about the loner experience

[tender torrent]

I think the other mods with co-op multiplayer mods maybe, will come a lot, but a lot later

and so much for the solitaire mode, it leaves the devs focused on the game

[hazy helm]

Don bet on it,at least,I wouldnt

Unless the entirety of the source code is leaked,and even then,hard to believe

[glacial quartz]

i wouldnt mind online modes at all but nowadays gaming communities are so toxic that it makes you feel very out of place and question your existence

[hearty vigil]

It’s what stalker multiplayer historically is

Why change that? No one would suddenly make a new Quake a narrative experience.

[cobalt nexus]

I wouldn’t count on co op ever being a thing even with mods. But it is unreal 5 and not X-ray

[tender torrent]

Maybe, or maybe nothing at all, time will tell, the developers will have the last word

[hazy helm]

if you start questioning your existance,put the phone down and go talk to someone,no one needs to that

[glacial quartz]

times change, original stalker was a sea of bugs too

[hazy helm]

take care of yourself man,don let the little ppl on your phone ruin you

[glacial quartz]

agreed, friend

oh well, i am 101% sure modders will implement co-op anyways, so i am not too worried

[hearty vigil]

Yeah, but people come for continuation of stalker.

[tender torrent]

I'm over 25, 15 years of experience in all modes, and I can only see how things have deteriorated over time, like here in France

[hearty vigil]

Thus “stalker 2”. Not a completely different thing instead.

[hazy helm]

you have no idea of the hardships,tribulations and pain that comes from doing these things my friend

[glacial quartz]

also if stalker 2 has even 20% of the bugs original stalker had you'll bash your head into the screen

[hazy helm]

?????????

[hearty vigil]

Stalker games are not that buggy, they’re still perfectly playable.

[glacial quartz]

just stating that things have changed not only technologically but also systematically

[grim palm]

*"Died in an anomaly. Shot by loners. Found with a stone around his neck. Thrown off a cliff. Torn apart by dogs". *We've all experienced that at some point. It's kind of hilarious that GSC World likeness us fans to brainwashed monolith soldiers as we are fanatical about how stalker should be played: "You cannot kill God... just like you cannot get rid of the sky above. I am blind, but it is you who cannot see." as in "I'm right your wrong. This is the ultimate stalker experience, it should be like this!" I think STALKER 2 will disappoint a lot of people

[hearty vigil]

And most bugs are easy to work around, so no issue here. I play it constantly with nearly zero issues.

[tender torrent]

what will be the cognitive capacities of our children? we can already see the beginnings of what will become of it, I am not the only one

[glacial quartz]

best solution: don't bring any innocent souls to this wretched world

[hearty vigil]

Idk, I’m here for stalker experience, including multiplayer. And I’m glad GSC is getting this one right.

[glacial quartz]

it's kinda lame that, though, mods and modders kept stalker franchise alive and we don't really get anything dedicated to them

life is unfair huh

[hearty vigil]

Mods and modders are what ruined the series and resulted in the creation of anomaly.

They deserve exactly zero respect, maybe even a bit less than that.

[glacial quartz]

you're joking right?

[hazy helm]

gsc promises mod support day one man

[glacial quartz]

anomaly introduced me to stalker and caused me to buy all the games and play them

[hearty vigil]

Shame, bad introduction.

[hazy helm]

I hope you enjoyed the games

[hearty vigil]

Some mod support day one, extensive later.

[grim palm]

Mods are good, you can have your wish granted. But don't expect STALKER 2 in the likeness of mods. The zone is hard, but it's hard for everyone, not just you. It's not a FU simulator

[wild haven]

stalker

[hazy helm]

Truly

[wild haven]

[tender torrent]

lol, that we see that the birth rate is the lowest since 1945 in France, and that everyone in mind adopts pets, like cats and dogs, fish and others, that gives the idea this discussion is going to go away must go in en_offtop

[hearty vigil]

GSC does not endorse Anomaly, neither they do endorse any other standalone. It’s, I quote them, “not paying for the game you play”.

[glacial quartz]

dogs > humans

[hazy helm]

Where did that come from...

[hearty vigil]

Cause dogs don’t make stalker mods.

[glacial quartz]

from here, i'd rather adopt a dog than have a kid lmao

[grim palm]

I paid thrice. Once for a hard copy, then on steam, then on GOG

[glacial quartz]

i think one of the main things that makes stalker games replayable is due to its live AI

[grim palm]

A-life is life

[hearty vigil]

I paid thrice for SoC, twice for CS and got CoP steam key for free.

[hazy helm]

Let's hope A-Life 2.0 is good

[tender torrent]

GSC gave all the things to moderators who themselves created the game anomaly in 2014 when Stalker 2 was canceled in 2012

[hearty vigil]

What

[hazy helm]

This is VERY wrong

[hearty vigil]

CoC released in 2015, how could anomaly be done in 2014? And anomaly utilises no stalker 2 assets.

[hazy helm]

He's just joking... I hope...

[tender torrent]

from what i heard on a report from a YouTuber

[hearty vigil]

Well don’t listen to them anymore lol.

[tender torrent]

what is the real version according to you?

[hazy helm]

Well that's wrong they are spreading misinformation
COC the first freeplay mod was released in 2015

[hearty vigil]

S2 2011 became Survarium. Anomaly is a mod of a mod, originating from Call of Misery, which is merge of CoC and Misery.

[glacial quartz]

you're either the biggest troll on this server or just have no freaking clue what year or planet we're on

[tender torrent]

[hearty vigil]

Whatever you say bud.

[hazy helm]

My brother in Christ,that guy is spreading misinformation

[tender torrent]

But while she is the real information ?

[glacial quartz]

yeah i've never seen such level of troll

i thought he was a merc at first but then i realized it was another tag, thank lord he's not one of us

[hearty vigil]

Me? Regarding S2 2011 becoming Surwarium?

[hazy helm]

No the guy that told AYM the stuff he did

[hearty vigil]

Oh aight

Vostok games got formed out of old GSC devs after Grig stopped the development, and Survarium engine is basically a developed X-Ray 2.0.

[hearty vigil]

any different opinion
Damn that must be a troll

[hazy helm]

Real info is that after CoPs release an SDK was also released and then stalker 2011 production began on full swing,it died however and in 2012 the studio closed doors,many went to create vostok and survarium with experience and resources from stalker 2
We had no leaks of Stalker2011 code until the lest 2 years

Call of Chernobyl,the first freeplay mod and the blueprint for every freeplay mod after,was made using the CoP SDK

[hearty vigil]

We did have small leaks, like screenshots or renders. Not assets though.

Also we did have early desdocs of the first plot iteration, where Strelok died.

[hazy helm]

code leaks
We had concept art and 2 model photos and that was it
Not worthwhile stuff

[hearty vigil]

We did have desdocs, concept art, a couple of renders, some SDK screenshots, uhhh what else…

[tender torrent]

never heard the information in the francophone community

[hazy helm]

AYM was saying that code and assets from S2011 was used in Anomaly and that's just straight wrong

[hearty vigil]

Yeah of course it’s wrong. I think community got hold of them in Sep 2020, nobody had it before.

[hazy helm]

CoC was released in 2015,Anomaly,was released in 2018,anomaly is a fork of CoM using the OpenXray64 engine which is a update Xray1.6 engine

I have no idea where you got that info but tha guy was talking out of his ass

[tender torrent]

Moderators received all uses of stalker SoC from Clear sky and COP with improvements

[hazy helm]

???????
No

[hearty vigil]

What??

[tender torrent]

for anomaly

[hazy helm]

Why do you mean man...what??no...

[hearty vigil]

No they did not? Anomaly is just a CoC mod, what could they even possibly receive?

[hazy helm]

Anomaly team never received anything from GSC ever

[hearty vigil]

Most GSC devs were long gone by the time anomaly started development

[tender torrent]

from what I had heard, unless they put me on the wrong track

[hearty vigil]

They did, and we’re telling it to you for like 20 minutes now.

@hazy helm we had concept art leak in 2011 and earlier storyline desdocs leak in 2015.

[tender torrent]

[hazy helm]

I am sorry AYM you feel victim to a prank

[hazy helm]

like I said,no code leaks,the dezowave team had them for a long ass time tho

[tender torrent]

I'm quite confused now

[gusty grove]

Hi everyone ! I have a question. Do You know if there will be the second wave of limited edition of stalker 2 sales ? Or the one in 2022 was the only chance to get it before December 2023 ?

[hearty vigil]

they didn’t, they received it at the same time as everyone else did

Autumn 2020

[hazy helm]

Just re read what we told you,GSC has absolutely no affiliation with Anomaly whatsoever,it's only a mod,CoC the father of all Freeplay mods was released in 2015 using the CoP SDK,CoM was made which was a merge of CoC and Misery,and Anomaly was made and released in 2018 based around CoM using OpenXray64,a open source evolution of the Xray1.6 engine used in CoP

[hazy helm]

Wasn't there a mod team makin a mod with S2011 code and assets way before th leak tho?

[hearty vigil]

Depends on what you mean by way before the leak. Internal, non-public leak happened in Sep 2020. It was published on the internet in Jun 2021.

First mention of Old Concept ACTUALLY using S2 2021 stuff is Oct 2020. Before that they just recreated the models.

[hazy helm]

Before the internal leak I remember there being a russian mod team working with assets,source code and everything from 2011 S2

[hearty vigil]

So you can do the math.

Yeah, they had the leak before most people did. But they were not the first people to get it either.

[hearty vigil]

OldCondept was a thing before the leak, but they did not actually have any of that. They based their mod on previous leaks such as desdocs and concepts.

[tender torrent]

on the xray 1.6 I completely agree, from what I had understood in the background, it was that GSC had left source codes to make anomaly Gamma

[hazy helm]

hmmmm they must've had a field day with the leak then

[hearty vigil]

They based it on X-Ray 1.6 too.

[hazy helm]

This is completely wrong,the source code for various build of stalker leaked and reverse Engeniering efforts intensified allowing developers to directly change the engine itself and thus allowing engine forks such as OpenXray64 to exist,it has nothing to do with GSC at all,it's all community made

[hearty vigil]

wtf are you talking about what source codes

Game resources are easily unpacked by anyone and their mother, and engine source code has been leaked in 2015, again, to everyone.

Nobody leaked ANYTHING specifically to Anomaly or Gamma devs, and none of that was leaked by GSC.

[tender torrent]

Wait, I'll find the YouTube video that explains this

[hearty vigil]

You either misunderstood it entirely or it’s full of bullshit.

Gsc specifically said they do not endorse standalone mods such as Anomaly or Gamma.

@hearty vigil @hazy helm

https://youtu.be/W7ax8BO7fOY

Here is the video explanation which apparently I would be wrong with 136,000 views, I found it Stalker anomaly, however it is in French, I don't know if you can translate it, hoping you can read it

[hazy helm]

This guy doesn't understand what he is talking about simply and purely
The SDK was released before their closure
And the engine forks were made while GSC was extinct thus they can't have a say in wether or not they are here
Anomaly is not endorsed neither does it have connection to GSC

Also he consider anomaly the true and complete version of stalker which is laughably wrong,anomaly is a mod,it bears no resemblance to the original game neither does it try to

[limpid salmon]

GSC is against anomaly

[tender torrent]

GSC was off yes, and independent moderators (community) took charge of developing stalker anomaly, it's in the video, unless the guy doesn't know what he's talking about

[hazy helm]

I am quite tired of these ppl hyping anomaly as tho it's the "true and complete stalker experience" when it couldn't be further from the truth

[hearty vigil]

Not “against it”, they simply don’t endorse it.

[limpid salmon]

they hate it

[hearty vigil]

Yeah, a mediocre mod that barely resembles actual stalker games apart from same setting lol.

[hazy helm]

The talks out of his ass,he doesn't know what he speaks off,he can barely get the sentiment
Quite simply,the way he words it makes misunderstandings very easy to make and is very vague

Disregard that video,I'd call it unwilling misinformation,I don't think the guy meant anything wrong but he clearly lacks the knowledge to talk about the subject

[hearty vigil]

As most stalker youubers are tbh

[tender torrent]

136,000 people therefore took his reasoning seriously and were totally deluded

[hearty vigil]

yeah. Common. A lot of stalker vids out there and a lot spread misinfo.

It’s a complicated subject with years of development and iterations, so it’s easy to screw up.

[limpid salmon]

typical french

[tender torrent]

I understand, in any case, this will leave some without the real truth

[hazy helm]

As it happens frequently,best I can do is clea up any misunderstandings that ppl might have

[tender torrent]

Just a guy who doesn't know what he's talking about, and he wanted to attract people to this video

[limpid salmon]

french

oui oui mon video very bon

[tender torrent]

Oui oui ma vidéo est très bon * i am french lol

[limpid salmon]

close enough

[tender torrent]

Anyway, I was really taken in by this story lol

@hazy helm you have 135,999 people left to fix the error

[hazy helm]

I don't think I'll be able to clear this task

[tender torrent]

unless it is published in a celebrity page

[finite dragon]

Is there anymore Ultimate Editions floating around for UK?

[worthy lagoon]

Physical?

[finite summit]

psychical

[worthy lagoon]

Either way, both XBOX and PC ultimate edition are out of stock, temporarily, might be available when they will announce the definitive release date, you might be able to pre order it via Game Legends, check #🖤┃s2-pre-order

[onyx nexus]

I need something to draw, Stalker themed. Any ideas?

[hearty vigil]

City-32

[steep mantle]

First time playing STALKER... starting with Call of Pripyat. Is Master the only difficulty worth playing?

[hazy helm]

I urge you to start with Shadow of Chernobyl as taht is supposed to be the newcomers introduction to the series

and for any difficulty related questions refer to the difficulty chart

[steep mantle]

Ok, thanks

[carmine crest]

all difficulties are worth playing, I'd start veteran

[cobalt nexus]

I asked GSC but they probably won’t answer but does anyone know what platform the physical edition of S2 on PC will be? Steam, GOG or Epic?

[carmine crest]

steam 100%, not sure about the others

It should be standalone in my opinion but if you gotta piggyback off of steam or whatever launcher to get it to work so be it...

I guess it's because no one has cd-drives anymore which is stupid that they're being phased out, but I thought that was the whole purpose of buying a physical copy to begin with :U

[cobalt nexus]

Cyberpunk 2077 physical was redeemable on GOG but CD Projekt own it so that makes sense. I think physical PC games should be on a non write able usb stick. Anyway I hope S2 physical can be redeemed on your platform of choice. I want the DRM free version preferably

[tight timber]

Hi there, anybody know when the stalker 2 will come out exactly?

[sand fiber]

2023

[sand fiber]

All versions will be DRM free, won't they?

[junior blade]

if I purchase the ultimate physical edition it comes with code to redeem on pc?

[dry imp]

tomorrow

[tight timber]

Really?

It is comes out for Xbox one also right?

[solid dome]

Don't get physical on anyone, you fool. You hurt people.

What's the matter with you, @finite summit You get physical with people. You monstrosity.

[junior blade]

Marked one…..

[jaunty mason]

beat them all to death

beat every last one of them

[solid dome]

[solid dome]

what the hell

[junior blade]

[dry imp]

yep

the original xbox one

[steep mantle]

Can't wait tomorrow is the big day

[cobalt nexus]

I hope so

[dry imp]

yep its going to be so cool

[cobalt nexus]

What’s happening tomorrow?

[junior blade]

the marked one finds out who strelok is 🤯

[harsh swallow]

dude wtf

how do i fix this guy stuck walking into the door i cant get thru the door at the loner camp
