Gimme mod rights and I'll fix the #📜┃s2_suggestions mess in notime. Dedication does wonders.
Its not about abusing. Its about at least one person giving a fvck whats happening around. Not a single one so far.
To ease GSC not doing anything themselves?
It's collective commitment
You can't care about something the person next to you doesn't care about.
Gimme mod rights and I will do a lil bit of trolling
Yalls should be insta-banned for admitting to sins you have yet to commit
☝️ 🤓
heres a suggestion GSC have corpses NOT DISAPPEAR AS I'M DRAGGING THEM kthx
STOC soon to become one with Garbage
Did you read what we wrote me and vasim? We both mutually agreed that it's no longer serving its true purpose and will be purged soon. By purged, we probably mean nuked hehe
Confirmed, carrying bodies will happen in ST2
Idk, maybe then, it reopens when devs need it to be if ever.
Or at least filtered and closely moderated
If I was submitting VALUABLE FEEDBACK in #📜┃s2_suggestions I would do it via Google Docs to prevent the same thing
I said Id purge it and wathc it more closely to stop trolls not that it would be nuked
It wont really matter at this point Father, it's all void. Maybe when the server opened, but now? It kinda feels like too late. Wouldn't expect any of the suggestions you see to be implemented unless the devs needed some ideas for a final touch when the development completes, perhaps it might find its true purpose in the aftermath of the release, dlc stuff maybe? It sounds more tangible to speculate that, to me at least
1sec Mr Vasim hehe
Here you go.
Besides, it would be better if it gets nuked tbh. Since, I'm done seeing pubg suggestions haha


Truth be told! We do have some degree of understanding, you an me I suppose.
Haha the only thing I care abt nowadays is the dev progress. I just hope everything is going according to plans and the team is nailing it already. 🙏
The rest is just bull$hit you know.
Devs are not just nobody you know. I wouldn't really believe they missed the thought of making a quality gun play for example.. I mean duhhh! UE5? NEXT GEN? It's clear enought that quality will be considered among the top priority list
Taking into consideration recent AAA titiles, anything can happen
I think, the purpose of opening that section was entirely nuked when trolls joined the posting lol..
We still don't know the full potential of UE5. Whatever we had now is rather considered demos hehe
the guns arent mirrored so the arsenal looks took a big blow to coolness
Yall acting as if the world was ending and the game's development was stopped just because of some discord channel which maybe is totally ignored by devs
Guns were the least of my worries from the start. It's unreal engine 5 bro.. it will never be bad, especially that the team did not fall into the trap of "adding huge arsenal".
I'm not being optimistic, it's just clear enough to me. The lesser the guns, the better the quality. I know my poison.
I can't disagree with Rahim
Game industry ended. World itself... we're on it.
We are all going to die because of #📜┃s2_suggestions
Idk if you got exactly what we were talking abt or not. What you said does not apply on me. I clearly explained the situation we are having now. Besides, duh! That section was a bonus, not a must.
Why even care?
I can see @dense stone in you
Rahim.. come on! You know better mf
Exactly!
I did say that I don't really care abt that, and the only thing that matters to me now is seeing the game released and me playing it. The rest is freedumb weed to me haha and you all know what freedumb weed means to me lol
Imagine caring for a game whose developer doesn't care for you caring
Sounds like TikTok story to me
You want it to be fake yet it's real
🙂
GSC is not my girlfriend, or mum bro haha! I'm not seeking care here. It's damn business man. The only care they owe us is making a game that is worth the legacy we still carry.
And since we have no tangible product, we can't make judgment.
Thus, leave judgment for later.
My point being any company exists thanks to its customers
Employees too hehe
Zamn, sorry for the typo
Krezzin my boy
this somewhat feels like talking abt a step dad haha
Hello son! What's a lololon?
I can't understand whether Rahmi wants to encourage/discourage me from leaving the STOCPP
You see, you should just appreciate the company 
You got friends here. We have many trolls to troll back!
Ayer-ayerer
When you seek to troll a troll, ping me.
When you want to speak abt something, ping me
There is no need to leave while you can just engage in occasional discussion or talks yk

Lyrics by Rahmillionaire
Yes, you may do this too
That's the spirit hehe! See? It doesn't need to always be this damn depressed moon! The game will be released eventually. Then we can depress if it wasn't as we hoped it to be. Haha why getting ahead of ourselves when it's all futile yk?
Moon... idk what's wrong with my keyboard haha but whatever haha
It sounds geh af lol
How can we "depressurize" ourselves once the miracle Stalker 2 happens in our lives. Do we go out and scream our lungs out "WE ARE NO MORE VIRGINS"? Do we play for 78+ hours with no food just water?
tampcio
Do we create account on Pronhub and upload uncut Stalker 2 footage?
Uploading filthy amounts of Bloodsucker clips for people to stare at
Most viewed upload: "Bloodsucker Balcony Action"
Freedumb stuff? Seeking riches huh? On the back of freedumb faction
Probably hehe! I did just that when I first played the trilogy hehe
Rahmi, can you picture peoples faces when they open a page and they see blurred STALKER content indicating adult scenes?
Lmao
I am going beyond nuts
And an attractive title +18 tagged
Freedumb content as I said
Disclaimer. Intense bloodsucking. Viewer discretion is advised.
Bruh?
I did.. but in the warehouses not wild territory hehe boai
Well I did and I’m scared
At the start of going to collect them x16 documents I encountered one
I though it could jump kinda far
But then I see the smirk SUPER JUMP to me
Screenshot it and send it in the mod channel
Umm ok

But is there a way to pause the game while still showing the game
Yes
Check your keybinding settings and see what key you have assigned
It's usually the pause key
Great, now I can shoot you all fine 
lol
yeah do people not like it? i think the gameplay is a nice jump over soc
Monolith is been 15 years where are you with the milk

isnt it because you have a potato microwave for example?

hmm
So is there any news about Stalker 2? I was hoping it would have a trailer at the xbox showcase. Any updates about the game so far that I might have missed since then?
Nothing, six months of camping in the dry desert.

has anyone ever tought of bringing a dvd player to the zone
Projector too?
Screen FRIENDS to the suckers?
To bandits
Bandits watching the sitcom Friends? The zone is truly terrifying 
theres computers and whatnot in the zone already so probably yeah
its probably more of an issue to find a place to plug it in
Artemida will ban me preventively
then borrow it instead
It is not fair
my dream is to cahnge Xray just enuff so that we can play videos with audio on TVs,why?Brat 1 on TV in an hideout
sounds epic
that...would actually be really cool. have TV in the bar playing actual movies with sound
Aye,problem is that the TVs only play frames, they arent actual videos,so youd need to do a lot to change that
That will be a fun summer project
Id love to see this become a real thing
you could just play a gif and play sound with it separately
Nhaaa man,it would be better to make the framework to accept videos,then just compress them to the most deep state
Can someone gimme a rundown of why people don’t like Clear Sky
I don’t think it’s the GOAT entry or anything but it feels like SoC with more QoL and a graphics update
Can’t find anything particularly offensive
I heard its cause of their mood, they like a bit of fog

Is GSC supporting trollposting?
Hey guys. So I started my adventures with this masterpiece of a franchise that I've been following for years now. I am half way through Shadow of Chernobyl and I was wondering about a completely unrelated question.
So as far as I know there are standalone modpacks, "games", like COC, Anomaly, Gamma, Dead Air and so on. My question is: Are these standalone mods work only with COP, and if they do are there any standalone "games" for Clear Sky, or SOC?
Purged*! No nukes will be used
lol I made a 6 word joke suggesting multiplayer coop ironically and some mod muted me for a week
so apparently they don't like innocent stupid troll posting but other troll posting is fine
Standalone means that it won't need the base game to work as long as you installed the game at least once in your pc.
The mods you mentioned are all CoP based, most of them does not even require the game to be installed at all.
And are there any standalone mods like these that are based off of SOC?
Plenty, yes!
There are mods that rework the whole story and use cut content from early builds of the game.
Holy shit that's nice
Other quality life mods are basically in need for the base game as most of them(that if nobody repacked them) comes as gamedata expansion.
Lost Alpha, oblivion lost remake, etc..
Well for my first walkthrough I am using ZRP, original weapons renewal, and HD models addon
And that's basically it
I hate the HD models addons
NPCs are good as they are.. haha
Rest is fine
Best mods to use and keep the old good stalker exp intact are basically texture add-ons, weapons maybe, and tweaks etc..
That's our job your talking abt! We are the troll hunters!
We shall troll the troll for the end of time
What's better ABR or Arsenal Overhaul for CS
Neither
FWR for CS
Fallout 76
Sir Vasim they banned me in gamma server 😭 krual world
KEK LMAO
Sir Vasim why is the world so krual 😭
Any good game recomendations besides Stalker and its mods? Mainly fps type
harry potter, anomaly
All you need in your miserable life
Trepang2
Spec Ops: The Line
wait thats a cover shooter not fps 
i didn't read the last part
Easy! Make another discord account and hop in again lol
ABR
i beat the final station yesterday it was really good
classic
Thanks for the recommendations
Is Autumn Aurora 2 something that I should store for my 2nd walkthrough? I only want to implement addons that are mostly basic quality of life, such as, texture upgrades and bug fixes. Does AA2 reimagines S.T.A.L.K.E.R SOC and kind of gets rid of the original playstyle and feel, or it's just a texture upgrade? Does it change anything story wise?
@hazy helm coop when
Sex Villa then lmao
starts with citor3 on steam?
No, the virgin level
idk
when belarus translation happens
i said this and you muted me for a week
nice to see the consistency and everyone else getting the same treatment 
Playing SoC should i get SEVA suit or exoskeleton?
try arsenal overhaul redux, a friend of mine made i recently helped him with new guns for the next patch, the ksvk will be added
you're asking for too much
exo if you're fine with not being able to sprint
its runs fine
What?>
i rarely ever had performance issues with any of the games
🤔
As fad as I know, it doesn't change much. It's rather a style change
.
yeah
I think I had like 2 crashes on clear sky throughout the entire playthrough but soc and cop ran well the whole time
I create a Garry's mod server in 8 moth who recreate STALKER in gmod 😉
hi chat
No.
Hello im ceo of gsc, strelok will be alive in the zone on february 24th
damn that's crazy,
Buy scar nft to revive clear sky faction in stalker 3
Both games have NOTHING in common, there is no way to make a collab. Also tf2 sucks
I liked Titanfall 2...
Titanfall 2 rocks! We are talking abt Team Fortress 2 (I assume)
Well youre right
I am always right
Actually I thought we can turn minigun into ak-74/2u
And heavy for stalker outfit but thats weird
Really weird and out of place
so true
You are just playing tf2 too much
Idk what to play
Definitely not that time waster
Actually I just quit tf2
Nothing good
and no update
I should continue lost alpha
or whatever
or play Minecraft
Maybe open a new page on stalker cs
Well I actually play minecraft
On tlauncher and Lemme show my skin
come to #📸┃screens_and_videos
Potato machine hehe
It does lag a bit in low range machines that's pretty normal lol.. any game would lag if it runs on a juiceless potato
I wish you all a good day be well
stupid idea
valve just should fix their game
They actually need to update and release their hl 3
what? 💀
That would be worse bro
worse than what
update? they aren't even making it 
Heavy would reach the zone centre by himself, I'm not gonna lie
haven't been for like 7 years
no its not
but still bad
you're the one that brought it up 
Ik
and that was a bad idea man
I should delete that message tho
dont delete it 💀
hello timmy

yep and they are censoring the sleeping reactions lmao
Really???
yeah cant even show how boring it is i guess
Bruh, or could be because of Z from the ruschists
I removed sleep emojis because they have Z symbol in it
to avoid provocations
that's the last thing i would have thought of but that makes sense
Sleepy Joe wake up
wow people still active in here?
I just see a gsc dev chat here
Yea very excited for stalker 4

anomaly is more fun for me, but I prefer to play vanilla game
True taste
I already tried to get my friends into stalker...they all said nope
wh-wh-what
kill them
the only way. I will hit them with my car after work
They are not your friends
Should I rewrite the message?
My second brain says no

Thats why I replied
But first brain says yes
You're a dumbass dovy
sooooo, mol1t....when are ya'll going to update that steam release date to 2024 
Announcement, announcement, announcement
Dear children, Father Krezzin has been shot by Loners, thrown off a cliff, found with a stone around his neck and almost torn apart by dogs and yet he was able to reach the Change HQ to create a petition you SHOULD sign up right away.
You know you want to do it:
https://chng.it/qGQXCWs7PW

Anomaly isnt a gsc game
I know you'd think such petition is a waste of time, though it's indicative how much people care for the actual future of the franchise
Stats do tell more than words at times
kill your friends
What is for money?
The petition
I pay you for signing up
Idk man
I haven't found a better way to do this
Anonymous signing won't work because of people tend to troll to no avail
Crap won't be fair
Btw I just started hitman 2
"Hi there, Would you like to sign my petition?"
what
gsc didn't make postal lmao
oke
a man of culture and class right here my friends 
Good hehe boai
No mol1t noooo god plz nooo

I dunno, I like that GSC is radio silent. It appears that they won’t reveal anything more until the game has gone gold. Rockstar games does it this way and it works. Too many other studios create a hypetrain wankfest and don’t deliver.
but maybe I was correct, who knows
Have a good evening, chat
My favorite GSC member, HI! Long time no see
You had to chase the ones behind the arena I suppose
Thought you would ask duty for help, since you have a duty colonel with you here 

Aight bro! Good eve. Hop in sometimes when you can man
I feel like the original trilogy should have got a little tickle up and re release for PC and debut on Xbox. Nothing over the top just a slight visual update and a bug fix. Would have bought more time for Stalker 2. Even a third party could have handled this.
Look, you should know that each studio do it the way the management sees fit. GSC had some rough time with all the $hit going on, it goes without mention. If there was an update worth sharing, they would've shared it.
You obviously don't think straight typing those 3 sentences.
Radio silent does not always means problem tho! It can be anything.
How so? Should I create a petition instead? It would get more people playing the originals first instead of anomaly and introduce Xbox players to the beginning of the story.
Exactly its the best thing they can do in the situation.
You just hang on to that idea! The game is under development and that's all we need to know. Footage can wait, announcements can wait, and hints can wait.
Hmm... that NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB minimum requirement looks like a bit too much for steam deck. I'd really rather not touch windows anymore...
maybe there is hope if I potatofy the settings? 😂
seriously screw windows
and their micro shaft
You might see that after ST2 release achieving a global emission you know? Haha
But since mods actually did that, I doubt it'll ever happen
Perhaps support to other platforms maybe? But I doubt that too
"Introduce Xbox players" [to IP never had anything to do on consoles in the first place]
Conversation ended here. Thanks for sharing your opinion, though.
Come to dms
Yeah because the sequel is releasing on their platform. If it was you wouldn’t you want to play the first games?
Loving vanilla is always correct, Based Captain Mol1t 
@solid dome waiting for news be like
So you bought Wolfenstein The New Blood on Xbox, liked the title and you want to replay Castle Wolfenstein too and you want it to be released on the platform too so you can play the first game too? I know the given franchise isn't the right example to use but whatever.
I am not sure even the most sane person on Earth can answer your question
Officially not cool. Good luck with the petition. Maybe you will have better luck with the Xbox community getting signatures
I am not doing a petition for signatures, and I'm not doing it to reach GSC in any way - it's solely for stats, to know how much people care about where STALKER as an IP is going. Good luck being Xbox triggered thou.
👌
No need for a petition, I think they already know it
Just need to wait and let them work, one day we'll get news.
I often think of that sentence when I see someone asking for something 
Then let them know it again. 😄
You need to let them know it every day, because in the end of the day, anomaly lovers and real fans are 2 different groups
@solid dome Wolfenstien the new order is the first in that series. I’m not sure if you quite understand what I’m getting at. The original games need to be introduced to the new audience that is getting into stalker. Most people that come on here are new to the franchise and are not sure where to start before Stalker 2 releases. If there was a Stalker trilogy available on whatever platform they play on that is brought up to current standards then they will start there. Sorry for mocking your petition btw, your entitled to have your say.
hello, i just learnt that Stalker series are a thing and just finished SoC (quite dated game i know but despite that i finished it, only using ZRP as a bugfix modpack). That said, what mod are recommended to someone who wants to see the good SoC mods before i move on to Clear Skies?
its good to complete all base gvames before moving on to big mods
use SRP for Clear Sky,and Call of Pripyat is ok to be played vanilla
fair enough, i assume because if i play the "remastered" versions first i will feel the games too dated then? Will go to Cleark Sky then with the bugfix pack
remastered?there are no remastered versions,Stalker was never remastered
oh sorry wrong word, i mean those mods that seems to have quite a lot of overhauls, like OGSR i think
"Quite dated game"
How would you describe 1980s videogames? Trash?
i mean, by modern standards of today, the mechanics are dated, thats a fact. But is just a product of age, not of the quality of the game. And i said i liked the game, but im not going to lie i had to push past certain areas to keep playing though just to see the ending
Modern standards are for trend setters
Still I got you
Outside of the topic...
I hope the Xbox release sucks and the franchise stays PC centric
are we not over console vs pc yet
We?
OGSR is not a remaster,OGSR is a new game
What happens on PC, stays on PC. About Vegas, I can't say, never travelled to Vegas. @verbal sedge
just to offset you i hope they’re secretly developing for console first and the pc port is 5 years late, buggy and unoptimized
Hey does anyone know what guitar the song "He was a good stalker" was recorded with? Im learning it right now and I was curious.
just look on mod db
try OGSR or STALKERSOUP or OP-2 I guess
acoustic
yeah... thats why i asked, there a lot of stalker mods, and i dunno if this list i found is updated enough, but yeah. Usually is fine to ask in dedicated communities which is the popular consensus
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZyqBI70RFiON8OaAQt23fpFgRmbPHrq0818Ap2nCG0c/edit#gid=0
I meant what model
I dont think the guitar model matters and we'll likely never know unless you can detective work your way into knowing who was the guy who made them
Yeah, probably right
I have a little mini guitar and the song sounds better on it than other $1k+ guitars ive tried
Well, if you are a musician it really matters, but I don't really think the guy who recorded it really remembers it
Like I said, the song sounds better on my cheaper mini guitar than it does on a bunch of higher end guitars Ive played it on.
Maybe thats part of it, having a cheaper guitar makes the song sound more like the real thing.
I wouldnt read too much into it
Hello, I have a question. Physical version is not available in Poland (pre-order). My good friend who i work with is from Ukraine - he said he can order there without a problem. Question is - if we do that, the "extras" such as the letter from Devs or manuals/etc will be in Ukrainian only, or are You preparing a 1 multi-language version?
(Limited edition physical ver for PC)
Manuals are localized per country - in the old days. Nowadays - English almost everyone speaks.
Dev letter? A few lines of text on a paper wrapped in an envelope does not matter.
That's a mod based on early stalker builds + author's base vision to the game
Not recommend for new players
Finish the trio first, then move on to big mods
shut up before i kick your ass
Go on with it son
Boot it, son
im about to finally reach Limansk in clear sky, what should i take with me and do before going and how do i optimize my max carried weight
I was part of stalkersoup dev group and I still didn't recommend it for new ones
i like how stalkersoup looked and i like its UI but i got bored pretty quick
But you still ended up recommending it
I see an anomaly
Son, you come in the hood do random gang signs expect to respect?
i have bad adhd everything bores me
Last night Evalya was evaluating the situation from afar @worn oar
Decided to frame Petruha for sex trafficking
that was most likely my evil doppleganger
aight, but why the agressive approach
i was just kidding around lol
from all ppl, you picked a duty colonel
if i understand correctly - you mean that manuals will be in english right?
👆
hahaha 
maybe for You. i would like to read it. And if ordering from Ukrainian shop means it won't be in english - i'll have to reconsider that choice. :)
hmmm perhaps a monolith
boys, load your shotgus. We are hunting today
just leave a note that you want it in english
i dont even give a damn
duty will hunt you where ever you go then
im a disembodied voice you cant kill me
will put your name in the top of my hitlist
I killed sauron, you wont be a problem stalker
and how would that work? If i order from idk (not aware of the shop names there) UA version of BestBuy - how on earth would that be accomplished? They would either have to order a uniqie copy directly from GSC or open the package, replace the needed items before sending it
(no sarcasm here, just a bit tired)
GSC does all copies
every single copy would be prepared by GSC before going to the resellers? Wow
Normally, the devs are in charge of making the copies, either on thier own or with a certain partner (collectibles if not made directly by GSC itself).
Retailers does not take charge of making anything on their own
yeah i know, that's why they are called "re"sellers. I am just amazed by the possibility to write a note "
Dear GSC, for order 000xxxx42069 please put inside the English versions of any printed document that comes with the game itself"
check retailers and order an english copy
as far as I believe, the order language will depend on your country. International sales will mostly be English based.
oh... OH. I thought i was late, and we were waiting for some extra shipping which will be limited
no, the game has no release date so i dont see a point in preordering yet. only like four countries have the retail version available anyway
because the "main" part was already "ordered out"
still, money from the peorders still goes into GSC account, right? (let's forget for a minute about commissions, resellers etc).
This alone makes enough sense - i would like to support the devs with the preorder
well yeah, but why are you paying for something you're not even sure is gonna come out
That's called having faith in someone
no its not
I did that with CP2077 (shame on me), and i'm willing to do this again with S2
until they show me that the product is worth buying i will wait
Plus - I'm Polish, I have some friends from Ukraine and I volunteered myself to help with giving out clothes/toys for kids/food/etc for the refugees arriving at Warsaw's train station. IIknow it's not that much connected with the game, but still the devs have it a lot harder than any other gamedev company right now. My sign of support would be the pre order. :)
they're not in Ukraine rn
plus - it's not like GSC is a small no-name companmy which will take your money and disappear
heard that, still my point is valid
how do you know

Nope, you were lied
GSC are corpo now
they could just cancel the project and your preorder wouldn't even go through
and then refund your money like any other copro/company?
they wont. they dont have to, you preordered knowing the risks. you paid for an unfinished product
no corporation would give that much money back in refunds
anyway - it's nice to discuss that topic, but i will make my own decision what to do with my money, just wanted to clarify the language issue if i order from UA.
Thanks for all Your answers guys!
i would just wait if/until the preorders go global or something
i'm not ordering the ultimate edition - I'm not that rich lol
anyway - i appreciate the safety tips / precautions
i didn't say you were, it doesn't matter. its still not available
only llimited edition for me. Not interested in the lamp from ultimate:P
They’re legally required to either do full refunds or give a product, there are no in betweens
no they arent
boys beating the dead horse
everyone will get his product when the time is up
thats all. EZ
Don't gaslight GSC. Once gone bankrupt, not too late to go bankrupt for the last time.

So you are saying it’s fine for a video game company to commit fraud, embezzlement, and false advertising 
I’m pretty sure there are more regulations out there than simply allowing companies to do whatever they want with pre-ordered products
Given they don’t issue refunds
that doesnt fall under any of those. like i said, you acknowledge the risks when you purchase the preorder, or the unfinished product
What is defined as an unfinished product to you?
Something that can’t be played? Or something vastly below the promised product?
something that isnt out..?

the game isnt out. its not completed
^ the entire conversation revolved around them not providing, not based on when it’s provided. They can provide it whenever they want as long as it’s actually given, canceling the program and not giving a product or refund is illegal
its not illegal
if they simply dont have the funds to continue the project they probably cant afford to give out refunds
that would be unfair for the studio if something came up
This is why pre orders shouldn’t exist in the first place
At that point, they would file for bankruptcy and liquidate their assets, if they can’t even provide refunds after canceling the entire project
But in that case, they can’t give any money, since they have none
this is why i dont preorder 
because i think its silly. you're not gonna get the game any sooner
I pre-ordered bf2042….last thing I’ll ever preorder
Just gonna wait at this point and buy it for the same price
exactly
There are other devs in Ukraine, they just dont use people's emotions to make people think buying their game is donating to the country
https://11bitstudios.com/ polish studio that donates money to UA folks
gsc has just made a PR statement to donate to the military..
i think part of the team is in ukraine rn... part moved, part stayed
How come there is so much drama/irony/even hate in You guys? we are talking on STALKER discord, not any other UA gamedev/software house.
I hate these kind of arguments.
I am aware that not only GSC is experiencing what is happening RN in their home country. But that wasn't the topic of our discussion. You guys just pop up with new arguments - even barely related to the topic (yes, other companies are not my concern. I like the Stalker series, that's why i'm here, not on any other discord) just to flex that you're right.
get a cup of tea, black/white/red one, choose your favourite, eat a cookie
and smile. That will be bether for us all lol.
My edited chill response is - STALKER is IP and not devs making the new one aren't the ones who made the games you like. Actually 4A has devs still in Ukraine during the way and has OG STALKER devs.. It's cool you want to help and it's fine to like STALKER, I just don't want people to mix up corporate IP with like mutual aid.. People come in here and talk about preordering multiple copies to support UA but really they get dopamine from helping and supporting a game IP.. It would be best if it went to people in the country who can't leave / really need it
for every copy of stalker 2 sold i buy two copies of atomic heart
Aren't the developers of 4A Games in Malta?
They have devs in Ukraine and many are Ukranian
He right, 4A has offices in both countries
4A has made a PR statement in the past few months that they have devs working on the new Metro in Kyiv and provide extra stuff for them (i said stuff but IDK what exactly)
I believe GSC also has staff in both Ukraine and the Czech Republic. Not all people were able/wanted to be relocated at the beginning of the conflict. And many work from home.
@finite dragon knows his stuff
But I think this is old information. I don't know what the current picture is like.
They do, I think my main contrarian take is that there are actual devs from the STALKER games in 4a
err probably game (not plural, mostly SoC I think but im sure there was more bleed over the years)
go screw yourself CS. five emissions in a row

attention stalkers emission approaching
hi there, as the new ceo of gsc, i wanna say, we wil be collabing with jeffery epstein for a new bundle in the stalker shop 
Was up
Hello everyone. How are you doing?
@safe badge I wish you and everyone a great day be well 
I wish you all a good day be well
I wish everyone here the best day possible
You are too late
I wish you all a good night
Look who ended up joining our ranks
I doubt you even sleep nowadays hehe
Another day of no sleep too
5 pm in the bunker
Close enough
🤪
My bunker office is basically boring when no stalkers are here..
So I sleep there hehe.
@cloud crane come take your first mission
what is it Colonel.
Your initiation task is not real. The leadership made it up as a trial of some kind. Accomplishing it will define what rank you will begin with.
There is a mission, a made up one.
I have sent a stalker to zaton with some documents to hide from you. I will be giving you hints and you should locate both the documents, the stalker's location, and the obstacles you'll find your way.
1 hint: the docs are hid under your feet. A place that once been lair of terror, bloodsuckers.
Okay how I reach there?
any underground thingy?
2: The stalker is camping in a place that once been a murder and suicide scene. 1 killed, 1 shot himself after killing the other.
Okay. I will check the bodies
3: a monster that hunts in the night, a true terror that once took lair in the place hinted in the first hint.
Bloodsuckers and hunter monsters?
I need my ak 74 ready
I'll give you half of the points
You do not need to visit these locations. You just have to tell me the place, preferably exactly where. Giving info on the place will only get you half of the points
And like I said, this game will define what rank I will give you.
Now we playing?
Alright
I see a underground ladder
there are few rooms
It's not a real mission. Wouldn't risk getting you killed soldier.
Alright
you want me to tell me what I see?
Asking again
Yes, you may tell me the results of each hint.
1 is the docs place
2, is the stalker's whereabouts
3 is the main obstacle you met in the mission
3rd riddle is easy to answer, just saying.
3 has connection to the first answer 2. You can get both answered if you got 1 of the 2 right
first is in an underground bunker which is once been terror of bloodsuckers
second is a dead stalker was laying in a campfire near of the underground enter
I might give you a second chance to reconsider your answer stalker
Maybe its wrong?
well gonna answer the 3rd
Sure
Hunter monsters are probably killed bloodsuckers and probably hurt the stalker in zaton
Beacuse bloodsuckers once been luring there
true?
so
You mean, the 3rd hint is referring to bloodsuckers?
Yeah They were luring at the same place
It has possibility
Good! You may answer the rest
2nd is
2nd hint is also a place in zaton. Bandits used to camp near it. Noah's ark is close too. A stalker was killed there and his killer killed himself after being discovered
Is the killers victim a stalker?
Both stalkers used to be seen at skadovsk
The Victim stalker is actually the stalker that put the documents in underground he was sitting near to campfire and when the killer stalker saw him he thought him was a bandit but when he finds out its the stalker that you sent he didnt take it anymore and commited suicide
Beacuse he sit on the bandits campfire
major degtyarev found abt them in the past
It is a past event! You just need to know the place
There is no conspiracy theory stalker
Okay then, we have to change the task then
I liked that thing too Im sorry sir
Next time I should play clear sky or call of pripyat
You never been to zaton. So, it's not fair to ask you abt it
Ive been in yantar,pripyat,etc.
Let me prepare your task then. Be back real quick
Back sir @worn oar
game releasing tomorrow i think
A soldier was sent to a hostile territory, mutants and other stalkers alike. They both are willing to kill members of our faction.
His task was to plant a signal amplifier device in a tower there. However, something strange happened.. he launched an sos signal and then gone radio silent. Few days ago, his signal went back, but he seemed to move too slow. Your task here is to identify the hostile entities, both human and inhuman.
The place where the stalker was tasked to plant his device, where did he go after sending the SOS, and what fate did he met.
There are 2 locations you need to find out about on your own, based on the hints.
1: people in green, and mutants unseen.
2: a place abandoned, homes barricaded, and no one dares to go there unless it unbelievably necessary. (The highest place there is your answer)
3: He sent an SOS, ran for his life, got past a road block guarded by people in green who wants him dead as much as whatever terror he met, got past them somehow, then something broke whatever sense left in his head. He escaped from death to a place of a different kind of death.
4: hints found in the third one have your answer
or later today
if u only played soc then go with cs, that way u will play them in release order
Here you go
cant wait
want to got shot or what?
yes, only if its in stalker 2
game releasing now I think
Sitting between 3 duty soldiers, High and bluffing?
I would love to just get shot
@cloud crane

Oh shit a freedomer
Poor man.. offer him a drink and send him back to lukash guys
Im here
Freedummer
Free drummer
A human drum
@cloud crane

Its should be kruglov
...on track..
I fill my rack...
I don't do crack
DAMN!
Look, a freedrum sitting close to 3 dutyers
are yall hyped for the release?
Or do yall think its gonna get delayed again
Hue hue
Lemme answer it
Aliens or drums
<- (clueless)
Maybe professor kruglov
Okay, the 2 locations are the warehouses and the red forest
Radar*
Somebody said earlier Lukash was killed in the most gruesome way and displayed hanging on a tall tree
Red forest is close to Yantar
The locations are strictly mentioned
Ok
Could it be @cloud crane who, in his anger, pulled a bullet through him.... then made it look like Bandits did it?
I said send him off to lukash
piñata
Let him think! Do not confuse him
This is his initiation exam
Hold on boys, which Marked One we talk about? A lot of marked ones right now?
@solid dome you may help him with his task, I'll look away this time
@solid dome
Wait a moment
Hey...somewhat off topic but is there a way I can suggest something to the stalker devs... a big part of my nationality finally made it into a game and not even 3 days after it, the chinese communist party threatened the russian game studio and they deleted it, what they deleted was the black bauhinia hong kong flag, and it's never been in any video game (officially/steam workshop) since 2019-2020.
(They tried to cover it up by deleting Ukrainian Military Flags, Russian Military Flags, SS Flags and Right Wing flags but kept the ussr flag)
But yeah , is there anyway I can suggest it?
Christ
I'm not gonna read so much text, @worn oar
thanks ❤️
Tf?
what game is this im intruiged
Innawoods.
a reddit thread is available of the whole situation
its a dress up game?
yea
Wait, do you want the developers of this game to...
include a chinese flag in Stalker 2?
I want them to add a character from hong kong who uses the black bauhinia hong kong flag (unofficial but only supported flag by hong kongers) in stalker as a patch on his uniform, he'd be an NPC or a side quest mission or something.
seems reasonable
I am confused
I don't see them adding a patch where isn't needed simply cause one asked them to. Modders will do it, for sure.
not like suggestions are 100% going to be put in game krezzin
chinese stalker
Ah....so a futile suggestion then?
mhe,who knows
Hong Kongese...please...
I only know one mod from that part of Asia,it is not Chinese tho...
is "Hong Kongese" a nationality?
I mean, Chinese isn't either
There's a lot of Chinese nationalities, idk which one Hong Kongers are
Why not add it yourself once the title is out?
hopefully youre able to
I want it to be official...that's the issue, if it's something community related (unless it's GMod Workshop or Gamebanana), CCP doesnt care cus all they can do is blacklist that sub url from chinese browsers
Xi gaming
See, I am like whatever if an unfitting patch is added to an uni as I prolly won't notice it, though give it a try, message one of the green roles instead
@worn oar sorry sir I didnt found time to answer
uh...i dont think directly dming GSC game devs is a good idea
I don't think actual developers are reading the suggestions channel at all at this moment
Same channel is full of bullshat
Its also in rules
yea...i figured
Not pinging
wait... HOW IT PINGED
you goddamn...
HAMMOND YOU IDIOT
Messaging
Hahhahahah, he fell into his own trap. Loooooooooooooool.
Reason: Rule 4
Was that Marked?
Goddamn
He wanted to direct the guy, why 1 week long 😄
Reason: Unspecified
Well, I guess that's it for Hong Kong, only 2 days of existence in ANY video game and now it's gone forever, 4 years of streak restarted
Bro marked one communicating in emojis
What were we discussing..
flags in a dress up game
I was being an annoying contrarian when i said it was reasonable, i don't think this is maybe the game for the flag my bro
but godspeed
At this point I just accept the fact HK will be buried by the ccp
And we will never be mentioned past 2019.
Nak, I have to mention to you discussing politics in this server is forbidden. You know the rest.
Just so you know
was feisty last night after having a few last night, was surprised to still be here in the morning

stalkuh
whar happ ned
Comedy show
I think it’s Cantonese
I want isometric game based on the Stalker-verse
I would give my bank account for a Commandos x Stalker crossover
Any time of the day
so trur
Jimmy, have you ever played Commandos in your life
politics in general?
hasvr yoi revet ihg!?#T>
Isn't that Atom RPG game basically that?
nha ATOM RPG is a Fallout inspired Russian Post Apoc Isometric RPG
its Russian Fallout
Right, was just checking it again, thought it was
Atom RPG? Don't know of such
Though isometric is top-down. I suppose RPG can work too.
play Tunguska
Very few game studios develop isometric games nowadays, I only know of MiMiMi Games (German)
Tunguska, good that you mentioned it. Slipped off somehow.
Zero Sievert looks like Stalker inspired top down but I think it’s an extraction shooter
I played it when it came out of EA,its not stalker
Yeah it’s I’m looking at it now. It’s isometric Tarkov but single player
Not stalker either but Conscript looks really good
aye it does

Stalker isometric RPG would kill it imho
Though real time stuff, not the turn-based crap
I like turn based stuff
Sheesh
Turn based stuff I only like has to be the Heroes of Might & Magic games
Loved those way back
Heroes 3 my beloved
Guess who back?
What would happen if we all pinged the devs at the same time? Like, yo! What are you guys working on this week?
Even GSC itself lol
fighting intrusive thoughts rn
oke
@cloud crane You thank Father Krezzin for lowering your sentence to 3 hours, my son
He was facing 14 days of silence in the cell
Ik man
Thanks for everything
Marked One, next time look at your PDA when you're typing and don't stare around!
Dont worry man
No chicks around, man
Oh silly you, nothing to thank me for. 😛
His 3hs solitary
Krezzin daddy vibes
started playing planetscape torment, weird isometric rpg that's pretty cool
its pretty old tripping sci-fi shit, lots of reading, inspired DE as well
How developers doing in Prague? Anybody knows current location?
Nobody other than those inveolved with the studio have any idea of exact office location. Safety concerns, right.
Seems like they're must be a strict NDA, haven't heard a peep from anyone about anything
You know, there is something I was wondering... what "vali kozlov" (which is said by mercs) means?
"kozel" is a male goat, but the word is used as a swear word, usually regarding someone selfish, but generally just about someone you dislike in the same vibe as "dog" or "bastard", etc, and "vali" is slang word for "kill" but literally means to fell, cut, bring down, and a whole bunch of other contextual translations
First playthrough?
I wish I could experience metro for the first time
Is it redux or normal?
On Steam - you can't anymore
I would try getting a pirated version on the internet
In my opinion it is better in terms of atmosphere
Darker colors and stuff like that
Can't list all cuz I haven't played both for some time
I never change fov in single player games
I go sweat mode when I play multiplayer games
But low fov is totally different experience
I have the original on disc just no disk drive. Try Google metro 2033 cd key. A grey market seller will have it
Ok, it's up to you
idk if it is ok to send here links to such sites
I sent the link in dms
After u finish redux give the normal version a try
whatever, do what u want
would i be losing too much lore if i skip clear sky? 😦
it is not ok to skip clear sky
Why would you skip CS? It’s good
