[narrow tartan]

um does this have to do worh stalker 🤓

[small dust]

It's preferable to take an objective approach as to why it's bad

[hazy helm]

dont you like CS?youre not based and redpilled unlike us

[pseudo rivet]

Just be sure to not play it as a horror game

[sand fiber]

i will not surrender to CS propaganda

[pseudo rivet]

Anything's better than the previous topic

[hazy helm]

I explained why like 99 times in the past
ask trashcan

[solid dome]

STOC

[sand fiber]

CoP and SoC are OBJECTIVELY better

[abstract ridge]

Can you elaborate for me what makes Anomaly a bad mod? I am not looking to argue, I am quite curious of what I might be missing.

[pseudo rivet]

Let's just leave it at "War"

[sleek tundra]

Lack of content, weird fiction balance, some guns are stupidly overpowered and make others completely obsolete regardless of where you are in the game

[small dust]

Fair enough. Pardon my lack of knowledge in that regard

[hardy bear]

I make them whenever I complete a major plot point or visit an area for the first time, I've got a fair few already. I heard about one of the games having a long drawn out fight that you can't back out from, is this the one where that happens?

[glossy ore]

for one there's a sort of bloat, and the story is pure fan fiction and re-enacting the first game sort of

[hazy helm]

bad balancing,bad optimization,offers nothing of substance and is generally just a dead genre of a mod

[worthy lagoon]

Ask @nimble cipher

[glossy ore]

not even good fan fiction either, the most novel thing about the mod is being able to play as any faction

[abstract ridge]

What would you suggest to use then?

[sand fiber]

wolf has no taste and is literally a merc

[pseudo rivet]

Nah, @nimble cipher is faking playing CS. He's the worst of the worst. Real chads play Clear Sky vanilla

[worthy lagoon]

Maybe you are THE Merc

[hazy helm]

OGSR,Winds of Time,OLR2.5,Spatial Anomaly,Valley of Whispers are all quite good

[sleek tundra]

In the sandbox genre? Legend Returns

[hazy helm]

you tried it?

it good?

[sleek tundra]

Though even then, I'd just recommend you to play virtually any Eastern European slash Russian mod

[sleek tundra]

No, just heard good things about it from people who dislike anomaly

[hazy helm]

Im waiting for Spacey's DeepL translation

[abstract ridge]

Hmm I am quite curious about Legend Returns.

[sleek tundra]

You've played NLC, you should be fine with a machine translation

[small dust]

The only thing leaked so far were those two screenshots with a few images, right? Nothing vital yet?

[sleek tundra]

Gigabytes upon gigabytes of bloodsucker pornography

[hazy helm]

Spacey was playing with DeepL yesterday so he's gonna repack it and uplaod it,waiting for that

[hazy helm]

like 15 images were leaked

[sleek tundra]

Also, hundreds of messages of fast food competition

[small dust]

Definitely Freedom's doing then...

[sleek tundra]

I think the fast food one is actually true

[abstract ridge]

How would you compare Legend Returns to Anomaly pack, content wise?

[sleek tundra]

Anomaly pack?

Like, gamma or bade anomaly? They're different, same game but one is heavily modded

[small dust]

I'm doing a lent sort of thing away from 4chan, so I havent seen those 15.

[hazy helm]

anomaly pack?

[abstract ridge]

As in Anomaly mod and Gamma.

[hazy helm]

dude Nick leaked them in VK not 4chan

[sleek tundra]

Depends, what do you qualify as content? Quests? Guns?

[hazy helm]

well Legend Returns has actual content
brand new quests,new factions,new stories for factions,tons of new stuff

[abstract ridge]

Crafting, weapons, armor, interaction with the world. etc.

[small dust]

All Im saying is that 4chan has their finger to the pulse of that sort of thing. I don't know what VK is

[sleek tundra]

In that case, Gamma has more content, but that's purely because Gamma has 5 different variants of the same weapons. Actual content count, aka quests, is better in Legend Returns

[hazy helm]

VK is the biggest social media corpo of russia

[lethal ravine]

lol

anyways im going to play durak

[small dust]

Pardon my uninformed-ed-ness

[hazy helm]

if we consider gamma having content we need to say that misery has more content than base cop

which ahahhahhahhahahahhah

[sleek tundra]

I still find it hilarious how GSC broke their own rule 8 in #📰┃announcement

[hazy helm]

[sleek tundra]

[keen viper]

.........anyway

[lethal ravine]

????????????

[hazy helm]

shhhhhh

[small dust]

And now for something completely different

[pseudo rivet]

They can't exactly help it due to the situation they're in. Just be sure to not continue about this any further before people get muted/banned

[lethal ravine]

bro this is real life not discord

[keen viper]

the

[narrow tartan]

[pseudo rivet]

Dang, this is real life? Why am I even using this app

[sleek tundra]

Go give it a good, hard look

[narrow tartan]

Why are we even here?

[small dust]

Just to suffer?

[pseudo rivet]

Just to suffer

[muted valve]

Here specifically? Probably to talk about Stalker..

[lethal ravine]

i won durak

[narrow tartan]

👍Thanks for letting me know.

[hazy helm]

nobody talks about stalker in the stalker channel
we just bully anomaly players and mute ppl for rule 8

[sleek tundra]

Who's Durak 💀

[small dust]

I should finally get to day 2 of Pathologic...

[hazy helm]

nowadays moderators are rotten,all tehy know is eat chip,lie and rule 8

[sleek tundra]

He doesn't know

[lethal ravine]

durak is the most popular card game in east europe

[sleek tundra]

Thats not saying much since no one cares about card games anywhere

[lethal ravine]

you do not live in europe?

[muted valve]

Muffin Time is a fun card game

[hazy helm]

say that to magic the gathering idiots and yugi-ho no lifes

[pseudo rivet]

One day, I shall join your ranks once more

[hazy helm]

pokemon cards are money laundering

[sleek tundra]

Clueless

[lethal ravine]

clearly you have never been to eastern europe everyone plays durak

[small dust]

Im doing a personal journal, writing dialogue+thoughts. It's FULLAUTISM

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/salute-yes-sir-soldier-respect-gif-15342227

[glossy ore]

what card games do they play in the Zone

[hazy helm]

they dont

[muted valve]

Probably strip poker

[wide aspen]

half life 3 !

[small dust]

Caravan

[sleek tundra]

Still a card game, still gay

[wide aspen]

half life 3 is real!

[muted valve]

For that bloodsucker b00ty

[hazy helm]

please leave

[glossy ore]

poker but the chips emit deadly radiation

[sleek tundra]

If you ever played caravan in fnv just for fun, you have my respect

[lethal ravine]

jesteś głupi

[pseudo rivet]

I'm not sure, I've received a playing card from GSC itself

[hazy helm]

you say that to the same ppl who are the biggest exporters of gachimuchi content,ironic

[drifting fulcrum]

"ummm do not post memes in general guys" -🤓

[muted valve]

Hey, don't kinkshame freedom

[hazy helm]

[sleek tundra]

Read the channel's name, buddy

[lethal ravine]

Nah. I personally play Mille Bornes. (the french auto-racing card game)

[sleek tundra]

NOOOOOOOOO

[hazy helm]

!warn 247300892208922624 rule 8

[nimble cipher]

Bohdan Y.#1371 has been warned

Reason: rule 8

[hazy helm]

[sleek tundra]

He didn't know

[spring abyss]

It's just a warn

[pseudo rivet]

He got got

Simple warnerino

[glossy ore]

can't believe they just warned that person in cold blood

[remote karma]

LLLLLLLLLLLL

[slim sparrow]

Why?

[spare wave]

[lethal ravine]

if you are discord mod you have no life

[small dust]

Out of love

[wide aspen]

read rules

[sleek tundra]

I was making a joke

[celest heart]

well since you are new, read the rules i guess

[hazy helm]

this is true

[drifting fulcrum]

be careful you might get banned

[hazy helm]

I truly have no life

[sleek tundra]

"He didn't know, how naive..."

[magic reef]

Rip

[hazy helm]

still better than a HOI4 player

[spring abyss]

Just necos and python scripting

[lethal ravine]

that is extremely depressing

[wide aspen]

we do have a life, to automate and get more GREEN AND RED CIRCUTS!

[spring abyss]

I'm happy

[pseudo rivet]

I can confirm

[hazy helm]

bro Im still waiting for jack to make time in the schedule

[sleek tundra]

No politics

[lethal ravine]

you should have aspiration in your life not just computer

[wide aspen]

he sent me the modpack im also waiting for him to just say when

[nimble cipher]

Vulpix#4486 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[slim sparrow]

But I said nothing wrong it is fact that here in ua we pay mi****ry tax

[fluid abyss]

Mod cracked down on political talk before you got here

[hazy helm]

thats his job so

[spring abyss]

i dunno i really love my job as programmer

[sleek tundra]

• Eastern European
• Has a goth girl pfp

[remote karma]

only neco 24/7

[restive mirage]

is that a factorio reference?

[wide aspen]

hm, i dont know, but eitherway it was just a warn, warns dont do anything

[amber tendon]

Liar, you are neco

[drifting fulcrum]

did bro get warned for swearing

[hazy helm]

yes

[hazy helm]

yes

[wide aspen]

yes

[sleek tundra]

Doesn't matter, no politics.

[spring abyss]

You discovered me

[hazy helm]

the most neco's or arc is here

[small dust]

He can still call somebody a Taffer or scream BSOD

[sleek tundra]

• Eastern European
• Goth girl pfp

[spring abyss]

[lethal ravine]

saying same thing twice just makes it even more meaningless

[drifting fulcrum]

was it a slur or just a simple swear word

[celest heart]

whowouldwin?

[hazy helm]

prob the f word

[pseudo rivet]

No way... You don't think...? Is it Collector's alt?!

[slim sparrow]

Yeah but it is sad cuz that person don't know that buying S2 IS helpfull:(

[sleek tundra]

Not directly countering this says a lot about you

[lethal ravine]

what am i supposed to be countering

[small dust]

"You got to rotate your slurs!" - uncle ruckus

[sleek tundra]

Why don't you counter some bitches

[restive mirage]

yea i assumed a discord server based on a game in post apocalyptic Chernobyl would allow light slurs lol

[lethal ravine]

i dont give a F about your opinion about me so why should i have to defend myself against some 13 year old american

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, not this one

[sleek tundra]

• American

[hazy helm]

good thing Stalker isnt that post apocalyptic game bc stalker isnt post apocalyptic

[restive mirage]

you get my point whatever XD

[pseudo rivet]

It's got something to do with the media being really, really wack

[wide aspen]

they dont allow them yet if you search for some of them, they are said, user and moderator wise

[drifting fulcrum]

like as in thing against gay people or just

[restive mirage]

post meltdown, is that better XD

[remote karma]

(trashcan's a bit dim)

[wide aspen]

we do a bit of trolling

[hazy helm]

waht?no,the f and the u word

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be the First Disaster. STALKER exists thanks to the Second Disaster

[small dust]

Was the world normal outside the zone? I thought I heard that there were hard times on the outside or summat?

[sleek tundra]

Me about to show him my non American card (My AK's 7.62 is going through his skull)

[hazy helm]

yes,the world is normal outside of the zone

[pseudo rivet]

The Big Land is just normal like we know it

[lethal ravine]

your memes are so funny man.

[restive mirage]

doesnt the first disaster need to exist for a second one to exist by definition?

[sleek tundra]

What? No, Jesus christ. This is what playing mods does to a western player

[celest heart]

trashcan vs trashbin who would win?

[small dust]

Ah, maybe it was mod dialogue or something

[drifting fulcrum]

that is stupid why cant we say that in a discord server for a m rated game series

[hazy helm]

the first disaster is the explosion of the plant,the second disaster created the zone

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly, the meltdown that we all know is the First Disaster

[hazy helm]

that or some headcannon someone told you about

[restive mirage]

ok, so by definition isnt the game set post meltdown?

[sleek tundra]

Respects for admitting this

[hazy helm]

yes

[pseudo rivet]

Thank the media

[sleek tundra]

We need more people like you, Westerner. Maybe by then the world will be a better place

[celest heart]

IIRC because of official partner status

[drifting fulcrum]

bruh what do they care if someone says that

[sleek tundra]

You like men

[pseudo rivet]

Well, technically, most modern games would be post-meltdown, simply because that's a part of our past

[hazy helm]

you do as well

[tidal oyster]

Anyone ever get their hands on the books? I got Southern Comfort years ago and it was a pretty fun read. Idk what it meant to the lore though.

[lone leaf]

Pretty sure the outside is just a version of our world plus some black market for artifacts and some minor advances that Totally Aren't™️ based on anomaly research.

[restive mirage]

yes, and

[pseudo rivet]

Nah, not really. Those allow you to swear. It's thanks to some wacky problems with the media

[sleek tundra]

He does more, he's from Poland

[hazy helm]

cope

[small dust]

I think i read those looking for a Zone fix. It was plant-based, right?

[wide aspen]

@hazy helm @sleek tundra FOR GLA!

[pseudo rivet]

GLA

[sleek tundra]

Did you read the original inspiration for the stalker series?

[west harbor]

whats gla?

[wide aspen]

bruh

[hazy helm]

GLA?

[pseudo rivet]

Global Liberation Army from Command & Conquer Generals

[hazy helm]

hmmm

the liberation army

[sleek tundra]

Roadside Picnic, good read. It has a stalker reference in it

[hazy helm]

that one

[wide aspen]

bruh second time

[small dust]

Yearly, friend

[sleek tundra]

I LOVE TOXIC ACID

[hazy helm]

I prefer other books by strugtsky's honestly

[wide aspen]

its our special brew!

[small dust]

I have the doomed city, but havent gotten far due to family demands

[pseudo rivet]

More of a China enjoyer 🤓

[tidal oyster]

Yeah, Afganistan gets it's own zone after a major nuking. They did a good job making it feel like the game.

[wide aspen]

nah, gla enjoyer, even tho we dont have shoes

[hazy helm]

the books are bad as is to be expected from fan stuff

[wide aspen]

who needs shoes when you have acid !

[pseudo rivet]

Good thing the books aren't canon

[tidal oyster]

Definitely an interesting concept imo but yeah, definitely felt like a fan's love letter to it all

[lone leaf]

Why would nuking Afghanistan give it a Zone tho I thought you need the wacky noosphere tech to do that

[hazy helm]

@pseudo rivetgo to C-Con in Alt Topic

[pseudo rivet]

Oh boy

[hazy helm]

bc the books are fan creations and wack asf

[sleek tundra]

The books are pretty much fanfiction made by anomaly and misery players

[midnight tiger]

Don't worry guys, I'm writing the real STALKER book

[pseudo rivet]

So, what's up?

[hazy helm]

mez showed some stuff dunno if it's relevant

[tidal oyster]

From the wiki: "Because nuclear fallout alone cannot create a Zone, The Ukrainian Academy of Sciences sends an expedition into the New Zone to find out if its creation could be connected to another rift in the noosphere."

[hazy helm]

no wait its in builds and cut content

dammit

I am dumb

odododood

[tidal oyster]

But yeah, can't recall all that happened in it though

[sleek tundra]

I like fallout, good game

[small dust]

Ah, no. Im talking about "The Southern Reach" trilogy by Jeff VanDerMeer. I got baited by a zone in that

[pseudo rivet]

Oh, kek

[lone leaf]

Americans trying to create a Zone in Florida would be funny

[magic reef]

In Alabama

[sleek tundra]

It's already a zone, just without the artifacts

[midnight tiger]

Chornobyl has nothing on Florida

[lone leaf]

I just want Florida to be worse

[sleek tundra]

Chaotic neutral

[glossy ore]

the hole in the noosphere was already there

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, those are legit. Wonder how he got them

[reef granite]

What do people think of Sin?

[glossy ore]

they don't exist

[hazy helm]

they are bad,and there is a reason why they were cut

[tidal oyster]

Oooh okay, gotta look intot that.

[sleek tundra]

I can't think of something that isn't real

[celest heart]

they were axed

[pseudo rivet]

Sin doesn't exist

[glossy ore]

as for the idea it kind of comes off like Monolith Lite™️

if that's what they were even supposed to be anyway, they sure are in portrayals like that of Anomaly

[sleek tundra]

More like Monolith Advanced according to mods

[pseudo rivet]

While Sin doesn't exist, dark stalkers do. They are a mere nightmare and nothing more

[sleek tundra]

Especially in gamma, you can shoot them 10 times in the head and they won't die.

[hazy helm]

Anomaly has no good writting anyway

[sleek tundra]

You're saying African Americans are nightmares?

[midnight tiger]

cringes in oblivion lost

[celest heart]

[glossy ore]

"a monolith dude turned all the psy-stations back on"

[sleek tundra]

Oblivion lost is a masterpiece and should be treated as such

[solid dome]

Lol, right

[pseudo rivet]

No, those would be Zombified, as can be seen in SoC's Survival Guide

[hazy helm]

the dark stalkers

[spring abyss]

Lost alpha animations are worse

[pseudo rivet]

The Dark Stalkers, mentioned only once in the entire series

[reef granite]

Idk I like the concept of Sin.

[sleek tundra]

• probably likes anomaly

[midnight tiger]

Maybe it's lost alpha I'm thinking of. The one with the really goofy illuminati plotline

[glossy ore]

something mutant centric would be okay but other than that can't really think of anything

[hazy helm]

the reaosn why they were cut is bc they were conceptually just a lite version of monolith
instead of diluting the pool deepen the monolith lore
Sin is bad anyway

[sleek tundra]

DEUS EX?

[glossy ore]

I think mutants don't like Monolith, and zombies like Monolith depending on the game iirc

[reef granite]

I don’t like neutral interpretations of them tho. I think a death cult in the zone makes sense

[spring abyss]

Lost alpha is really fun but you can't take the plot serious

[small dust]

Been too long since I read, but I remember being disappointed

[hazy helm]

need to play Lost Alpha pre DC

[glossy ore]

well in a way Monolith is kind of already the death cult, they're just missing a way to turn themselves into wacky crystals

[reef granite]

Monolith and Sin really only have one thing in common and that’s they worship supernatural phenomena

[autumn shale]

oh god. I hated those books lol

[spring abyss]

[hazy helm]

like I said,they share the core tennant,why have 2 very equal factions?cut the worst and deepen the lore around the best
which is what they did

keep Sin on the ground

they dont deserve

[glossy ore]

it'd be more interesting if they didn't work with Monolith and just had a more psychotic interpretation of their worship, whereas Monolith is controlled by the people behind everything

[midnight tiger]

Sin was just Monoliths goth phase

[reef granite]

Naw I want them back. I wanna play a crazy cultist

[hazy helm]

youre not gona play as monolith in S2

[sleek tundra]

You can't play as anything OTHER than a loner though

[small dust]

I've honestly forgotten that it's about plants. I got baited so hard back in 2013

[midnight tiger]

Duty and freedom technically

[sleek tundra]

You still can't play as them, just help em slightly

[midnight tiger]

True

[reef granite]

It struck me as odd that the mercs weren’t joinable

[glossy ore]

it's more like Courier from FNV's relation with factions instead of being a true member

[hazy helm]

bc you are a loner of course they arent

[glossy ore]

also too poor

[lone leaf]

You do not have UN contract

[hazy helm]

wanna hear the UN scientists story

[jaunty pebble]

If we can even join to factions on S2 it would be dope IMO

[lone leaf]

I don't wanna be shot

[hazy helm]

it'll be like SoC most likely

stalker isnt a freeplay game after all

[keen saffron]

alright what should I do now. I’ve done trilogy / anomaly vanilla / gamma / EFP / radiophobia/ spatial anomaly and stalcraft

[jaunty pebble]

Also I don't know how the map will be effected, as S2 is 10 years(?) after SoC

[hazy helm]

there is OGSR and Legend Returns

OP2.2

[jaunty pebble]

Touch grass

[hazy helm]

NLC7

Reborn

[keen saffron]

I don’t wanna touch the grass on my front lawn because just looking at it makes me think it seriously needs a reshade

[keen saffron]

Ok I’ll look at these

[jaunty pebble]

I wonder how they will fill the empty spots between areas. Since I belive S2 won't have any loading screens from area to area

It will be a huge open world, right?

[glossy ore]

I think this line might be about 10 years since Zone's creation

which was 2006, so 2016. I think CoP was around early 2010s iirc

[keen saffron]

Even if it’s as on the rails as SoC I’ll be happy

[glossy ore]

apparently SoC and CoP are in 2012

[keen saffron]

I just want a taste of real stalker content after so many months with fan fiction mods

No more body health systems and taking charcoal pills

[hazy helm]

play OLR2.5,buildo based

or play the OGs

nothing can beat that

[keen saffron]

Looking OLR up right now

Ohhh! Yeah I bookmarked this a while ago. Ok

[hazy helm]

[drifting fulcrum]

this is stalker in 2012

[reef granite]

Do we know that’s who hired them?

[hazy helm]

no

[reef granite]

If any governments wanted to do anything in the zone I’m pretty sure the military would be the go to. Mercs are for non government entities

[sand fiber]

???

wdym

[reef granite]

I doubt the mercs are working for any governments

[amber tendon]

They

[glossy ore]

military is UA military, not anyone else's

[amber tendon]

They can work for gov...

[sand fiber]

how else a non-ukrainian government would operate inside the zone lmao

[glossy ore]

if you want to get your nose into Ukrainian territory you wouldn't ask their military, or send your own troops in

or at least hiring mercs is far more subtle anyway

[sand fiber]

even SSU would probably use merc force

[reef granite]

I would be surprised if there weren’t official diplomatic channels

[glossy ore]

I would imagine UA might be willing to share or have joint missions or whatever, really depends on the mood of the government

[reef granite]

That’s what I’m saying

[sand fiber]

absolutely not

[reef granite]

The fact that mercs are a single faction makes me think they are loyal to a corporation

[glossy ore]

for one thing yeah, they have a monopoly on the Zone and its wonders - smuggling aside. But if they wanted to there'd be nothing to stop them from doing so

[sand fiber]

they aren't a single faction, they were planned to be such, but no

[glossy ore]

and in another note I guess the Zone would be more publicly discussed, an international issue

[sand fiber]

nevermind the fact the mercs are all supposed to be foreigners and ex- foreign militia

[sand fiber]

not much information escapes the Zone, really

[reef granite]

Wouldn’t governments have they’re own agents to go into the zone? If they wanted to go behind Ukraines back.

[glossy ore]

I don't get the impression literally only people around it know that it exists

[sand fiber]

Why would you risk compromising your people, your diplomatic relations when you can outsource everything to mercs

[glossy ore]

or that the anomalous stuff exists more specifically, that's the kind of thing other governments would be aware of at least superficially

[worthy lagoon]

Or simply gather technology for military purpose or such

[reef granite]

I mean the CIA does all sorts of shady stuff. The Zone is probably safer of those types of operations because of the of lack of government control.

[glossy ore]

if there's no official agreement then it's better to just hire mercs, for plausible deniability

[sand fiber]

We have no idea, it's a mess in release
In S:OL it all kinda made sense, Zone being a recent thing and featuring less people, perimeters being closed by UA militia, even the planned ending cutscene featured diseased Messer being presented on a UN meeting

Then close to SoC era there were some concepts around C-con affecting UA government, SSU, which could explain public disinterest in the territory

CS planned intro even was about Scar guiding some UN force to Generators

None of this remains in SoC, though

I also remember that the word Snork came to be due to a german reporter visiting the Zone who called them something nose-related (in german), but i have no idea if it remains in release and when that story was written, at the times of early OL or later

Or that Messer cutscene was related to the concept of 2004 Stalker 2? Lemme check

[glossy ore]

Wouldn't the black market lead to people knowing about the Zone? Not just by itself, but I think that would contribute

[pseudo rivet]

People know about the Zone, it's not exactly a secret. However, what is going on within the Zone is a secret, albeit a poorly kept one

[sand fiber]

1. Yeah it is
2. It's actually 2002 Stalker 2 lmao

[sand fiber]

It would, yeah, but we don't know much

[glossy ore]

Now sure, chances are even spy satellites can't get a good look into the Zone. I just think world governments might be aware of its anomalous nature and thus would try to see what's going on there

[sand fiber]

Again, it's all a mess in SoC, black market, constant tourists, mercs, nothing makes sense

[pseudo rivet]

Satellites can't fly over the Zone, because they'll spontaneously combust

But there are UN observers in the Zone

And obviously Military Stalkers

[sand fiber]

source?

[pseudo rivet]

Nimble, CoP, when you buy the FT-200M or the GP 37

[sand fiber]

no way let me check

[glossy ore]

The scientific expedition organized by Professors Hermann and Ozersky was a success. The data they collected facilitated the development of groundbreaking medicine and technology, which prompted the Ministry of Education to allocate additional funding for researching in the Zone.
This is one of the endings for CoP for example. How do you hide this?

[sand fiber]

it's inside ua lol

[glossy ore]

Yeah, and it's a Ministry of Education. Not military or anything of that nature

Or would you say all Ukrainian people would be in on keeping the Zone a secret

[pseudo rivet]

The Zone isn't a secret. It's just that everything that happens inside the Zone is supposed to be kept secret

[glossy ore]

yeah especially the psy-labs

but I wouldn't say everything is a secret

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, when it comes to the labs and any documents, they'll try to cover that up as good as they can, although they don't destroy the labs

[pseudo rivet]

That's why I said "supposed"

[sand fiber]

give me a second

[pseudo rivet]

And with people leaving the Zone and Freedom's goal being to tell the people what happens within the Zone, that's pretty hard

[fleet glacier]

Since GSC Game World have now Publicly acknowledged the leaks, It's Now More/Less Likely than ever that we would get something on this Month.

[glossy ore]

Or take SIRCAA for example, the fact it even exists is probably enough of an admission that at least everyone would know there's anomalous shit in the Zone - that'd be all it takes for the rest of the world, mainly superporwers, to look into it

[sand fiber]

RU/UA version features no word about "Ministry of Education"

[glossy ore]

English translation strikes again. SIRCAA then, which is part of STALKER 2

[sand fiber]

It's just "They got more funding"

[pseudo rivet]

Heck, literally everyone knows about the Zone and what's inside it, it's just that the Military is trying to keep all the Group stuff a secret

[glossy ore]

yeah I think it's more something along those lines

[sand fiber]

stiiilll it'd be inside of ukraine

[pseudo rivet]

It's not particularly hard to find out when even within the Zone, they've heard the story of a guy who has an artifact that can get him a harem of women. Like, if this is known within the Zone, it's definitely known in the Big Land

[sand fiber]

oh wait actually, were there any concepts in S2012 that would explain all this stuff

i haven't read the disdocks

[pseudo rivet]

Neither, but they're not exactly canon, so eh

[sand fiber]

Sytyanov gave the new GSC all there was to S2011 and 12 and they heavily base S2 around that

And, i mean, it'd provide at least some sort of explanation

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, already figured that one out

[tawdry vapor]

Hi guys

[pseudo rivet]

Heya

[tawdry vapor]

When will STALKER come out

[pseudo rivet]

Soon™️

[sand fiber]

already did

[pseudo rivet]

True actually

[tawdry vapor]

I mean stalker 2

[pseudo rivet]

Soon™️

[sand fiber]

it was cancelled in 2012 haven't you heard

[tawdry vapor]

Wait what im kinda stupid

[pseudo rivet]

AKA we still don't have a release date

[sand fiber]

kinda a production hell considering they were making it since 2002

[tawdry vapor]

Nope I never cared about this game before actually

So I didn't know ok nvm

[pseudo rivet]

Dang, you should play the original games

[sand fiber]

seriously though, we don't know, supposedly it will release in 2023

[pseudo rivet]

Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat

[sand fiber]

and yeah this

[pseudo rivet]

[tawdry vapor]

Thanks for info bro

[sleek tundra]

The anime artifact

Real question is, how would they know this inside the zone?

It's not like there are any women there to test the artifact on

... Huh, just realized this. We could've been holding an artifact that makes women like us, but we wouldn't have known

[brazen bolt]

Stalker ain't Stalker if it doesn't leak

[keen viper]

zones are a bit like asking the universe for something, you have to be more specific
it attracts women to you, but it never specified what species

[pseudo rivet]

Because he got the harem outside of the Zone. Besides, it's not like Stalkers don't leave the Zone and return to it. Maybe some Stalkers even went to the Zone to find such an artifact

[sleek tundra]

I don't want that image in my head

Stupid freedomers

[pseudo rivet]

*Bandits

[rotund vine]

as it turns out the leaker is a member of the russian donetsk militia

good on gsc to stand their ground

[solid dome]

You think the general community cares about his background to even come here and point that?

[rotund vine]

eh doesn't matter

[solid dome]

Well you brought it as it matters

[dry imp]

i knew gsc wouldn't do anything .

actually a based response. "we dont care. go ahead"

[sleek tundra]

It doesn't, all we care about is the fact that he's Russian

[sand fiber]

i mean i hope they don't improve the security so we get more leaks

[sleek tundra]

It's not like they'll lose anything, this is tame in comparison to every other game that got leaked on the market

The leaks there were usually a lot more importsnt than some devs discussing fast food and old build screenshot

[sand fiber]

uhhh it's a lot of stuff actually

[dry imp]

i like how they basically said that if you look at the leaks its your own fault

[sleek tundra]

Nothing important

[worthy lagoon]

So hacking a database is normal?

[timber valley]

Stay strong GSC! Don't give in to terrorists. Looking forward to release when it's ready.

[sleek tundra]

When you're a company that big? Yes

[dry imp]

true

[sand fiber]

true btw

people be like "waaah waaah they underdelivered it's worse than in the trailers" and like dude stop watching trailers

[dry imp]

"waaah the story was spoiled!!!"

literally just dont pay attention to the leaks

[brazen turret]

trailers honestly do be a plague apon games, but it really isnt that hard to avoid, it's called skip the ad or dont be looking for it in the first place

[finite dragon]

what did i miss today

[sand fiber]

ru stalker community figure threatened GSC with leaking S2 script and docs

[finite dragon]

i was around for that yesterday but any juicy developments other than the announcement

[dry imp]

i blew up my toaster

[finite dragon]

good riddance

[reef granite]

Found out through Warlockracy. All this because they didn’t wanna do the game in Russian

[sand fiber]

oh wow he leaked a woman

[reef granite]

And I thought American gamers were bad

[finite dragon]

based

[sand fiber]

and a buncha concept arts

[sand fiber]

https://vk.com/wall-165011456_32758

[finite dragon]

ah yeah just refreshed it

[dry imp]

wdym 💀

[sand fiber]

i find it funny how warlock used to work for a russian nazi before

[finite dragon]

I will say I will be sad if gsc makes the devs ruin their work and change it

[dry imp]

i dont think they will

[sand fiber]

nah it won't, who cares

[finite dragon]

idk most games would make them change the plot if it gets leaked

[dry imp]

they literally said that they gonna carry on and stand their ground

[reef granite]

Hard to talk about it without getting political

[finite dragon]

any other game that gets leaked they've changed in the past because from a capital perspective, more people will buy a game if they dont know the ending

[sand fiber]

no not really

[dry imp]

its already political go ahead

[reef granite]

Idk but I love his stuff

[finite dragon]

wdym not really its happened to several games

[sand fiber]

leaks nowadays are a marketing tactic

[finite dragon]

i agree but not a complete plot leak

[sand fiber]

what happened to hl2b for example wasn't only due to the leak

[finite dragon]

nah hl2b was old by time it got leaked i know

[dry imp]

valve loves leaks

[sand fiber]

SoC got leaked in 2006 too, but it wasn't the reason they made the final changes and cuts

[finite dragon]

valve leaks stuff on purpose for data miners but not the complete plot of an upcoming game

[dry imp]

well the complete plot of half life alyx was pretty much known

[sand fiber]

well judging by what games he makes videos about he's different now, i guess

[sand fiber]

just look at atomic heart, the leak only hyped that game up

[dry imp]

exactly

it's free marketing

[finite dragon]

eh we'll see maybe they wont change it its just happening so many months before the release

[finite dragon]

wasn't the leaked plot different / out of date

[reef granite]

Russian nationalists are like a parody of the the already insane American alt right

[dry imp]

i mean there were variances but its the same concept

[dry imp]

american alt right isn't really involved with the game industry

[reef granite]

It would be like there being a backlash because a game from China not being translated to English

[finite dragon]

lol but they spawned from 2000s early gaming culture

[sand fiber]

oh and yes i forgot to mention, game development is harder nowadays, it's much more difficult to redo the thing even if it's minor

[dry imp]

so true

[reef granite]

I know but as an American it looks just as silly if not sillier

[sand fiber]

Have you just forgot about the gamergate?

[dry imp]

idk what that is

[sand fiber]

It was a plague

[reef granite]

It was kinda a snowball effect I think

[finite dragon]

we'll see if they change it i guess we'll know when it comes out, i guess they probably wont if its just in polishing stages anyway

[dry imp]

i still think that the leaker has an old build of the game so it won't really matter

[sand fiber]

young white gamerbois rapidly turning right-wing with fake outrages and scaremongering about the sjw ruining games, still lingers on today, was in its peak in 2016

[nimble cipher]

Calisota#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dry imp]

i always thought it was an ongoing thing that people believe. its like that in normal politics

[finite dragon]

so GSC is going the "eh f it, do what you wanna do" route with the leaks?

[sand fiber]

i mean, half the blame is on the youtube recommendation bar

[dry imp]

[finite dragon]

ok i need to go to town and the bog before it gets dark

[sand fiber]

yes

[dry imp]

the bog?

[finite dragon]

want to walk my boy in the beautiful bog

Thats some serious Ballz.
Esp in that industry everything revolves around development secrets. If they had a large publisher that would look different i guess

[spring abyss]

You're in some medieval fantasy world?

[sand fiber]

uhhh

no it doesn't revolve around that

[dry imp]

no not really

[sand fiber]

people make leaks look much, much more important than they are

[dry imp]

true

[finite dragon]

you misunderstand me, very few large publishers dont give a f about leaks. If you leaks stuff from GTA 6 you got the popo on your ass very soon as an example

[finite dragon]

i dwell in the woods and galivant in the bog before twilight

[spring abyss]

[sand fiber]

because corporate hell be corporate hell

in actuality it doesn't matter and honestly they should just leak all of this themselves

[dry imp]

do you have electricity

[jaunty pebble]

That would just enter to revealing. As you are leaking your own content

[earnest bear]

The stuff i am interested are the the technical aspects of the game

How far is it from completion?
how the ingame world is
True open world or anomaly on steroids
Will it use the old Stalker map's or rl (prypyat is in the wrong place)
Will there be vehicles?

[spring abyss]

No vehicles, open world(you can try ask this on the #🔍┃ask_gscarchive channel where the devs answers questions, some maps from the classic stalker games will return

[reef granite]

Yea it was a mess. I almost fell into that trap. Started with “hey this lady has terrible video game takes”

[sand fiber]

stop playing anomlay delete this shit from your computer

[earnest bear]

Why?

[sand fiber]

you WILL watch 2000 sargon of akkad's and thunderfoot's videos on anita

[reef granite]

I mean her vids sucked but people really overreacted

[sand fiber]

bad mod

[earnest bear]

What should I use instead?

[sand fiber]

whatever

seriously though, play and mod what you like, i'd recommend looking at Legend Returns and story mods

[mental mirage]

try Call of Pripyat with AtmosFear mod and AbsoluteNature addon. You get the original story and vibe, but with beautiful graphics.

[nimble cipher]

biglob#0423 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sand fiber]

particularly OLR 2,5

[earnest bear]

I am concerned about that those are 32bit meaning they are limited to 4gb ram afaik

[sand fiber]

so?

[earnest bear]

Potential performance issues

[reef granite]

Good graphics make games harder to play

[sand fiber]

Not really.

[reef granite]

All games should look like wind waker

[sand fiber]

Not really.

[sand fiber]

Open more possibilities, rather, sadly they aren't being used as much

[earnest bear]

Actually yes
Also the NPCs in anomaly are brutal difficult

On vanilla it's easier but still hard with lots of bushes and Trees

[sand fiber]

i mean who cares if you're replaying

[mental mirage]

u are so edgy sheesh, how old are u? 13? lol

[sand fiber]

invalid

[mental mirage]

it is not about your opinion, but the way u formulate it kiddo

[fossil chasm]

Hi guys

[sand fiber]

playing release game is cringe anyway, real fans play half-working builds with no community patches

[earnest bear]

Yea but Stalker is pretty old so a bit more towards 2022 graphics would be good

[mental mirage]

privet shampun, no ty mylo

[sand fiber]

meeee

[spring abyss]

I still play vanilla doom

[sand fiber]

lmao no it shouldn't move to whatever "2022 graphics" is

people call 2007 old smh

[fossil chasm]

have you heard about what the Russians wanted to earn?

[sand fiber]

every modern gamer should be forced to play the first system shock or even better, the first ultima underworld

no they should be forced feminized

[spring abyss]

Gamers destroyed the gaming community, dawn gamers

[mental mirage]

no, what did russians wanted to earn?

[sand fiber]

no not really

[fossil chasm]

Blackmailed gsc the flow of data

[sand fiber]

if they were they would be based

[fossil chasm]

With a downpour

I don't know how to translate from Ukrainian

[mental mirage]

ah, yeah, heard that. i mean, they're ruzzians. what do you expect from them?

[fossil chasm]

I use a translator

[spring abyss]

Silent hill downpour is a cool game

[mental mirage]

Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava, Smertj Vorogam!

[fossil chasm]

I thought about it too, but it's kind of strange

[solid dome]

Lol yeah

[fossil chasm]

After the start of the war, I accidentally ran into some Russian YouTuber on stalker, and he was filming content about GSC this evil and stalker should be forgotten forever... but he still made content where he also said that the stalker is evil

[mental mirage]

and if you look at the vk page of this hacker dude, u can see that he comes from so-called dnr and is fully supporting ruzzian invasion

[solid dome]

And so what?

What does this have to do with game data leaks? Stop putting politics on top of the actual topic, you're simply aggravated like heck.

[spring abyss]

Rule 8 friend

[solid dome]

Rule 8 alert ye

[fossil chasm]

Lmao, I thought that if anyone in Russia would not support the war, it was stalker fans

But I was wrong

[mental mirage]

no it's not politics on top of data leak topic, it is exactly the opposite. the reason for this data leak are politics. because this guy is just one guy out of thousands who try to damage GSC in any possible way, after GSC announced that they wont include russian language. i mean he even said he wants that GSC should apologize to all russian speakers, otherwise he will leak all the data

[fossil chasm]

Guys, watch the video on YouTube of those who support this whole circus

[spring abyss]

Pls friend rule 8

[solid dome]

This guy, lol

[spring abyss]

[fossil chasm]

It's full s#@t

[solid dome]

Rule 3 now

[mental mirage]

😶‍🌫️

[spring abyss]

I finally discovered what the rule 3 means

[earnest bear]

Was Thinking the same but it makes sense that Stalker fans from one particular country think different

[fossil chasm]

I talked to a man who was a neighbor of the hacker who threatened GSC

[spring abyss]

So the ua and ru bad words are much more bad then the english, when gsc made the rule they just translated but the rule 3 is more likely for the ua and ru channels where bad words are away bad

[solid dome]

He keeps going. Lolzers.

[fossil chasm]

He says that he once called the SBU because of his actions

[solid dome]

[earnest bear]

One last politik thing hasn't the dpr and lpr been included into Russia a few months ago?
So they no longer exist

[spring abyss]

Friend

Stop

Last warn

[solid dome]

Those don't care about warnings. Hammer time!

[spring abyss]

[fossil chasm]

Wasn't it like that in the beginning? In my opinion, the "republic" in this case is only a formality

I wish discord had an auto Translation feature so i could read the Ukraine Chats

[spring abyss]

I knew a guy who got one

@finite dragon

[finite dragon]

Download betterdiscord and following this youtube how to install the translate plugin and how to use it, it's pretty cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44bQZN6ID8k

[haughty gorge]

So.. i have installed like NVG better movement etc, now my game freezes : time to get new gamedata

[spring abyss]

On anomaly?

[haughty gorge]

Correct

[spring abyss]

Or a vanilla game?

[spring abyss]

Oh good

[haughty gorge]

Idk how to mod steam games

[spring abyss]

Don't do this on the main games

Mods overlay the bin foldert

To unistall some mods on the vanilla unistall the game

[haughty gorge]

interesting

[pseudo rivet]

@hearty vigil
Replay CS and CoP and only use the IL 86, a weapon befitting a Chad

No bloodsucker photographs again

Are those banned everywhere...

[finite dragon]

lol idk

I wish it was the 15th now

I guess the leak will be the 14th for americans

[solid dome]

Free marketing

[finite dragon]

It's true, I think honestly because of how things are right now with the war and vibes, I think the fact that this politically motivated somewhat will actually equate to positive marketing for them

its like reverse atomic heart

I think its a conspiracy now, gamer nordstream

[reef granite]

I think it’ll be like Animal crossing New Horizons. Where current events significantly boosts sales

[finite dragon]

I don't want to rant I guess politically cuz not allowed but I think there'll be some articles talking about them being targeted by Russians and yeah it will end up boosting sales

[sleek creek]

Back after my mute

[dry imp]

he's back

[sterile hedge]

I just don't want those sales to be streamers that make it too popular and ruin stalker

[finite dragon]

eh i dont gatekeep video games, its not an underground rock band. they're making it to be popular and its AAA so there's going to be a lot of marketing..

[sterile hedge]

as long as xqc doesn't touch it we fine

[finite dragon]

i dont know shit about streamers

[sterile hedge]

glad I don't either

[finite dragon]

gate keeping a great game from a wider audience is a major hindrance tbh. if people see the game and want to play it, what’s the trouble in letting it get some publicity? even if it is from someone you personally don’t like

[sterile hedge]

I don't mind new players, i do however mind people who only play games because they're popular

[finite dragon]

god sigma insufferable take

that's like telling people not to eat pizza or something

its the nerdy record store nerd archetype in the 90s who says "I liked them before they were cool"

[sterile hedge]

they should at least play soc before stalker 2 to understand what's going on and not be clueless

[finite dragon]

i don’t think it’s really necessary to play three games that were created over 10 years ago

eh i get the nerds saying that about anomaly but its made to be stand alone probably and will get a lot of people to play the originals

[sleek creek]

Ah what a nice day

[sterile hedge]

Im just tired of people jumping straight to anomaly and filling the subreddit with dumb questions any og player would've alright known

[sleek creek]

ok

[finite dragon]

god forbid people want to get excited and join a community to learn and explore lol, have a good night/day man

[sterile hedge]

sorry but "what do artifacts do" just makes me annoyed

[finite dragon]

bruh you're having a stroke about a game coming out in 9 months getting new players, its all good

[sleek creek]

How get sickler in stalker if you know plz tell me

[finite dragon]

what is an artifact tho

[finite dragon]

good question man, idk either honestly

[sleek creek]

Did someone now how get a sickler ?

[finite dragon]

i think its a tarkov thing

[rancid hornet]

just beat soc, ready for clear sky

[finite dragon]

nice, i hope you savored SoC

[pseudo rivet]

If only I were memeing

[rancid hornet]

i did. Before going to the lab i spent quite a bit of time just enjoying it, overall took about 30 hours for me

[finite dragon]

Hey anyone here on the EFP discord server?

i dont know what efp is

[solid dome]

r/stalker tends to be trash 98.5% of the time

Have you been born yesterday?

[finite dragon]

its true, i havent seen much content there thats good

most game subs r trash, half-life's even worse

I learned about the leak and gsc ceo being evil through r/stalker at least

[solid dome]

Those are the last 2%

[finite dragon]

Yeah I saw this in a comment lol, someone said GSC is being blackmailed with gbs of leaked S2 footage

yeah its in the announcements here

probably have some juicy content 3 days

[cobalt nexus]

I wish there was no East and West. Imagine if we all got along and prospered together, the things we could achieve…

[finite dragon]

I'm down, would also love my country to lose its hegemony, not been a good paradigm, seems like its doing it on its own accord tho

[finite dragon]

If anyone here is in EFP could you request my unban because I haven't done anything but leave their server a couple months back. And even then that was a past account

dont think this is the place for that sport

yeah nah I just found a link to their modpacks download from third party

ah you were just trying to get a dl link

[solid dome]

EFP another one of those lousy modpacks, nothing interestin @finite dragon

[haughty gorge]

Idk EFP looks cool, I was watching a YouTuber playing warfare as monolit with EFP

[sleek tundra]

Mandatory reminder that #📰┃announcement didn't make a Russian translation for the first time ever

[amber tendon]

big loss

whatever

[sleek tundra]

Least racist stalker

[amber tendon]

I would expect of like

Google images and twitter feed blasted with leaks but

[cyan canopy]

Damn S2 got leaked

[finite dragon]

lol that's weird

[cyan canopy]

Well atleast its not full game its just Dev build i guess

[hazy helm]

bro you lying thr your teeth
Images and little videos of concept art and stuff is being leaked

[finite dragon]

its not a build but images and assets and the plot

[hazy helm]

Nothing of the plot has been leaked and the leakers say they wont release spoilers

[cyan canopy]

Ok i guess i wrong then

[finite dragon]

wdym they said they would release the plot on the 15th

[hazy helm]

I read what they said with my own eyes
They said nothing that they released would be spoiler

[sand fiber]

uhhh

[finite dragon]

i mean they did say no spoilers but how do you release the plot and it not be a spoiler

even saying "x" character is in it is a spoiler

also i dont think the hacker bruh is the most mature guy i have a feeling we'll see some big spoilers

mf has discord demands

[clever nest]

He dont have a plan posted spoiler

[finite dragon]

if he doesn't ever post a spoiler i think its an inside job

[hazy helm]

hahaha,how funny

[spring abyss]

Here is a spoiler you will like stalker 2

[autumn shale]

I have another spoiler
Skif is in it

[spring abyss]

you ruined the game to me

[finite dragon]

Strelok kills Skif

[spring abyss]

Staap

[pseudo rivet]

We all know Skif will be in the game, but the real question is...

...Will Skif be as cool as Scar?

[finite dragon]

i didn't think scar was that developed so yes he will be cooler

[spring abyss]

Bald man with gun

[finite dragon]

p much

[spring abyss]

There's nothing more to know

Scar >>>>

[pseudo rivet]

Genuine skill issue, he prevented the Third Disaster

[finite dragon]

i guess ill give him that but maybe the third disaster would have been good

[hazy helm]

Bruh

[pseudo rivet]

True, no SoC and CoP

[finite dragon]

exactly that was an inside job too

[autumn shale]

the more disasters the better

[finite dragon]

its 520am and i havent slept and im connecting all the dots

[pseudo rivet]

Did you open your third eye as well?

[hazy helm]

Nha Scar is the coolest stalker character

[autumn shale]

Yeah. I saw bread

[hazy helm]

[sand fiber]

nah, just check his page

[hazy helm]

I mean the hacker has posted like 2 more small leaks to respond to gsc so no

I would say hes not the most mature guy

[finite dragon]

yeah i was kidding he seems like a chode

i think he could have actually gotten a point across but he made himself sound stupid af

[jaunty pebble]

Wait Stalker 2 got leaked?

H... How?

[hazy helm]

[finite dragon]

my new homepage

lol got removed whoops

[jaunty pebble]

I hope it's nothing major

[finite dragon]

ive seen it shared like 59 times here didn't think it was a thing

[jaunty pebble]

I haven't seen it and I don't want to see

[hazy helm]

i mean do you want me to tell you?

[jaunty pebble]

If it includes spoilers for the games story, no. If it doesn't then DM it

[finite dragon]

its just concept art right nothing much, he will supposedly release more on the 15th

maybe because gsc said f off he'll release more sooner who knows

[amber tendon]

Here is a spoiler for main plot
Bread in the zone will get more stale and it won't be as nutritious

But it's going to be full of iron

[pseudo rivet]

Maybe not coolest character, but definitely coolest playable character for me

[pseudo rivet]

Ayo wacky internet, I was referring to this

[lunar basin]

I have a question, in Shadow of Chernobyl, would it be better to shoot at the head or for the legs?

[pseudo rivet]

Head or chest

[finite dragon]

is that a real question

[lunar basin]

Yes, as I want to know if the legs happen to be well armoured.

[pseudo rivet]

There is localized damage, but I'm fairly sure they're equally as protected

Go for the chest or the head if possible

[finite dragon]

Like every game in the history of video games or shooting people irl

[lunar basin]

I see, thank you.

[pseudo rivet]

Depending on your weapon, either aiming for the head or the chest is the most effective

What matters most is that your shots connect to your target

[hazy helm]

Shooting in the legs and arms is the same as shooting in the chest only the head gives bonus

[pseudo rivet]

Yup

[hazy helm]

@lunar basin

Where did shooting legs come from,never heard of a fps where that did more damage than head

[lunar basin]

Thank you.

[lunar basin]

Only when I have thought of the legs being protected.

Not being protected enough.

I have thought of testing it myself, however I have also thought of asking your opinions of shooting the legs than the head.

[pseudo rivet]

Nah, definitely head

[hazy helm]

Only head gives bonuses

[pseudo rivet]

If your weapon isn't suited for that, aim for the chest

You'll have a bigger chance the bullets will connect to the enemy and a chance they'll hit the head

[lunar basin]

Of course, with your frequent phrases I do know that already.

[pseudo rivet]

Kek sorry

[lunar basin]

Apology accepted, Comrade Crimson.

[pseudo rivet]

[amber tendon]

Eft

[hazy helm]

???

[amber tendon]

Yea

[hazy helm]

??

[amber tendon]

Apt since high level Armor and helmets don't cover legs

People used shotguns to kneecap everyone

But that's old news

[hazy helm]

Sounds extremely dumb

And wack

[amber tendon]

I didn't buy it for reasons

[hazy helm]

I still ask my friend why he gifted the game when he stopped playing right after

Muh cheaters

[ebon imp]

Jeez, there are some petty folk on Twitter saying the leak was warranted because Stalker 2 is not releasing on PS5.

[amber tendon]

No... No. Lay twitter off and get a nap.

[hazy helm]

Twitter is a cesspool and you shouldnt look at it

[lunar basin]

Escape from Tarkov, short for three letters meaning, EFT.

[hazy helm]

Ew

[amber tendon]

He got it

[ebon imp]

I absolutely love the gun customization in Tarkov, but that's about it.

[hazy helm]

ew

I shall judge you now

What's wrong with the gun customization?

[spring abyss]

Do you know cod cursed guns?
This

[hazy helm]

Ew

[amber tendon]

The ak is fine

[pseudo rivet]

Let my upgrades be mostly internal, just like the OG trilogy

[hazy helm]

guhhhh you need to manually disassemble the gun and change parts to...
No!the mechanic will do kt automatically,and I shall have a M4 in 5.45 by the end

[pseudo rivet]

Like, just read the descriptions of the upgrades, they're really, really interesting

Now, if those upgrades could only physically change the weapons

[hazy helm]

No need to unless it is something that is external as well

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly

Like, some change the handles, the barrels, etc.

Even the trigger, I believe

[hazy helm]

Yhe,but you arent gonna zee the trigger now are you

Change the handle and magazine

If it is an upgrade like modernization of ak change the receiver but aside from that you dont need to do much

[glossy ore]

how else would it be done? attach things yourself?

or does customization mean like skins and whatnot, which iirc STALKER 2 has already

[spring abyss]

nfts

[pseudo rivet]

I, a detail appreciater, will

[hazy helm]

Mechanic upgrades friend
Attaching things like scopes was already a thing

[glossy ore]

yeah I just remembered

[pseudo rivet]

Attachments =/= a substitute for upgrades. I just hope GSC realizes this

[spring abyss]

I hope silencers will keep as a useless attachment

[glossy ore]

those should just be superficial changes like new capabilities, while upgrades are deeper

[pseudo rivet]

Well, the joke is that silencers also reduce recoil, so there's a chance you'll just use it as a compensator

[spring abyss]

I finished the the trilogy whit silencers on the first time

i didn't know they are bad back them

[pseudo rivet]

They aren't exactly bad

It's more like situational

Use it if you have to, detach it when you don't

[glossy ore]

don't notice much of a downside so I tend to keep them on for the placebo effect

[spring abyss]

Funny how the silencer have appeared in the first trailer, that's not a good sign at all

[pseudo rivet]

It reduced damage, accuracy, flatness, but also recoil

[glossy ore]

but then the gun I use most is Vintar BC anyway

[pseudo rivet]

So it's kind situational

[spring abyss]

It's screw your accuracy at long ranges

And half the gun damage

[pseudo rivet]

Nah, 20%

[hazy helm]

Its more pseudo helpful,it doesnt do any noticeable good things

[pseudo rivet]

There are three good things it does - silenced shots, recoil reduction and no muzzle flash so you can see what you're aiming at

[spring abyss]

At close quarters is cool, but when you have to fight in close quarters you're already fighting at close quarters

[pseudo rivet]

I dunno, I'm using a silenced IL 86 in CQC and it really helps

The recoil reduction is hella handy

[spring abyss]

I mean, you just know that's it's cqc when you're already in cqc

zone life

[pseudo rivet]

And you know it's sniping when you're sniping

[spring abyss]

long range battles is fun

[pseudo rivet]

I wish the IL 86 was just a bit more accurate. It's kinda ridiculous at times

[spring abyss]

Bc the enemy can snipy you with a rusty makarov so every ranged battle is balanced rsnged battle

[spring abyss]

I never tried her apart from mods

I can't use her for long on soc bc she jams alot

[pseudo rivet]

Try it in CoP, it's kind of a weird weapon

I suggest using it in single shot mode instead of automatic mode

And using a silencer

[spring abyss]

i always use guns at single shot

I wish the other stalkers have unique guns like in soc and not just already upgraded guns, theres some in cop but no much as soc

[hazy helm]

the upgrade system in CoP and CS replaced unique weapons
when it could just not have

but a well

[pseudo rivet]

Well, it still has unique weapons

Especially CoP

[hazy helm]

Streloks SGI

[pseudo rivet]

Although I never use them

[hazy helm]

but they lost a lot of charm

since the upgrade system homogonized everything,I feel like,if that makes sense

[spring abyss]

I drop her to strelok, i wish that cop have a dialogue to give him his gun back and not just the notes

[spring abyss]

Agreed

Hope whe can have both on s2

[spring abyss]

The strelok sig i mean

Cop did a right thing with unique stashs with notes about major characters

[hazy helm]

the only ones I liked were streloks stashes,but thats a quest
I dislike the way COP treated stashes

but it fits best for the type of game COP is trying to be

[spring abyss]

the stashes are not stashes in cop, like, the stalkers are just dropping things randomly

Only the strelok ones are stashes

[toxic coral]

i liked that in cop you could loot stashes without coordinates but the fact it was just dropped items made them tedious to collect at times

[spring abyss]

Soc and cs stashes are fun bc you never know what you gonna find

Theres so many stashes

[toxic coral]

true

[spring abyss]

The only one that i know what it is the seva suit in the wild zone

[toxic coral]

in my last playthrough of soc i managed to get the hunter duty suit so i was pretty happy

[spring abyss]

[hazy helm]

the thing is in CoP they arent real stashes,they are loose items you can find
in SoC and CS they were random stashes that would only spawn once you got their coordinates

[spring abyss]

Yeah cs and soc stashes are fun, but i wish that the best stashes are not tied to buy them

[wheat gulch]

So is the game ready at 25% now?

[hazy helm]

??

[wheat gulch]

According to some tester or something the game is 25% complete

[hazy helm]

source?

[wheat gulch]

The leak

[hazy helm]

send me

in dms

bc thats not what the leakers said

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl, SoC/CS and CoP stashes are both based

Now, if those two were combined into one game, then you'd have the ultra based

[vernal magnet]

they wouldnt even know that with a 15-30gb archive.

[sleek creek]

I buy stalker 2 when the game will come I will get it automatically on steam?

[vernal magnet]

if you buy it on steam it will unlock on the launch date

[sleek creek]

oh ok

[sand fiber]

according to the leak stalker 2 will feature estrogen injections and hot gay sex

[wheat gulch]

That I do not believe

[sand fiber]

wrong

[spring abyss]

Freedom faction leak hum?!

[worthy lagoon]

And you

(male)

[spark summit]

I want some of that.

[stark lynx]

Damn russians are really throwing temper tantrums now

[sand fiber]

if i'm male how is it then that i have boobs

checkmate, globehead

[stark lynx]

Will stalker 2 be released in Russia in the end?

[sand fiber]

it won't be available for sale in russia and belarus

[worthy lagoon]

You don't

[spark summit]

ikr

[sand fiber]

there will be russian localization though

[spark summit]

I... unfortunately, have seen some of the leaks.

[sand fiber]

i do

[last pine]

Proof

[spark summit]

But it's actually not that bad. Some of the concept art has me even more excited ngl.

[sand fiber]

unfortunately

[hazy helm]

hard not to

unfortunatly

[spark summit]

Yes, unfortunately. It was funny when GTA 6 was leaked - it will probably be released once Elon Musk puts a human being on Mars.

But it's not fun seeing it happen to STALKER.

[sand fiber]

it is fun

and in fact the best thing that could've happened aside devbuilds

[hazy helm]

I am not allowed to say my thoughts on the leak

[sand fiber]

gsc boytoy

[spark summit]

nah

[sand fiber]

explain

[spark summit]

My man... the devs are already stressing enough with the delays and the fact that some childlike grown up decided to bombard the country. They don't need people stealing and leaking their shit.

[sand fiber]

they do

[spark summit]

Explain why. And provide a good reason why you support the group attacking GSC then 🤔

[This is proof of an embed failure.]

[vernal magnet]

dont take the bait bro

[spark summit]

I'm gullible, sorry.

[hazy helm]

all I ask is that you follow the rules
especially rule 8

[spring abyss]

Neco embed power

[sand fiber]

stalker wouldn't be as half as interesting without Oblivion Lost and SoC leaks, S2012 desdocks are a goldmine

[spark summit]

Awwe, cute.

[vernal magnet]

while this is true, the timing of these materials releasing is the questionable part

[sand fiber]

having development content of any game is important, nevermind stalker

[vernal magnet]

im as glad as anyone else to have the materials but I think GSC main concern is spoilers and expectations. if this stuff came out post launch I dont think they would care at all honestly

[sand fiber]

it doesn't matter, builds of SoC were leaked in 2006 and that didn't affect anything

[spark summit]

But it's 2023 now. Hackers can do more damage.

[sand fiber]

if you look at spoilers for a game you wait that's on you

[spring abyss]

Hey, you came here yesterday? Be welcome fren
Be careful with a few things

-do not troll on #📜┃s2_suggestions and #🔍┃ask_gscarchive
-do not post offtop things in #🤨┃stalker_memes and #🔍┃ask_gscarchive

Be welcome

[vernal magnet]

I hear you on this, believe me. STALKER will still do fine. But its demoralizing for the developers who want to show the game in its final form for release

[spark summit]

Am aware, thank you, Stalker.

[vernal magnet]

not really once this stuff is out there in the zeitgeist its gonna become spoiler landmines online for anything related to the game

[spark summit]

This. Exactly this. This is why I'm against leaks and hacking.

[sand fiber]

it doesn't matter, again

[vernal magnet]

you say that but people are braindead already asking why the leaks have 2016 graphics. Majority has no clue how development cycles really work. it can misrepresent the game. But for those like us that are obsessed with stalker history, of course we are going to scarf it all down with joy and get more excited

[sand fiber]

i disagree, leaks now serve a more of an advertisement purpose than anything, atomic heart's the most recent example

and well i doubt the community would benefit from people who don't understand how development goes anyway

the most oppressed group - gamers™ will always act as idiots, no matter the subject

[spark summit]

So you're basically calling all of us - including yourself - an idiot?

[spring abyss]

she is the bait master

[sand fiber]

sorry m8 am not a gamer

[hazy helm]

in the end,arent we all human?dumbasses so to say

[worthy lagoon]

Lie

[sand fiber]

prefer watching Seinfeld instead

[hazy helm]

you lie,I already have your steam account and will leak it to expose you for your crimes

[sand fiber]

untrue that was my little brother

[nimble cipher]

Cappunocci#6446 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spring abyss]

I'm not a idiot I'm a buffun, squizo, pilk addicted, half dwarf and gamer
But not a idiot

[spark summit]

Wait what.

[hazy helm]

I read it dont worry
