Anything you see outside of this discord and official socials is nothing but an approximate date. GSC hasn't disclosed any new release date info. We'll get that mostly in like 10days from now ig hehe

Wake up dad

[rocky shadow]

Yeah. As i said. Could be true, but its most likely placeholder of that site.

[worn oar]

Well, tbh, disclosing release date update to publishers before fans is not entirely off the table tho? But, since GSC is apparently planning to make some big entrance after the long radio silence, I think they kept away that detail form all

[rocky shadow]

Yeah. My thoughts also.

[worn oar]

That's actually smart deprive them, then give them what they wanted most in order to boost their hype back ten times higher than ever haha

[worn oar]

It's like when your doctor forces you to follow a certain food regime then gives you the ok to cheat it all after a long while of deprivation

Everything would feel extra tasty then

[rocky shadow]

Some psychologic tactic there

[worn oar]

You might even cry haha

Well played GSC

[worn oar]

Eh yep

top G moments

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[worn oar]

Tbh, me playing ST2 was always my deepest darkest desire haha.. and seeing ranjid chatting took place after that

This guy became a new urban legend haha

I want to see him send something other than the usual at least once before I'm lost to the zone

[solid dome]

Say what!

[worn oar]

Why are you runnin

[balmy hound]

The rumors are growing but nothing is 100% sure. Gamescom seems so far

[calm bough]

other online german retailers also changed their release date now to 01.12

[rocky shadow]

Yeah. Amazon shows it too

[calm bough]

it is happening guys

[hazy helm]

I cant believe it

I lost the bet for 1 goddamn month

[calm bough]

official stalker2 .com site also now says available in 2023 in their banner

[worthy lagoon]

I won

[woeful frost]

Who knows when it’s coming out just have to wait till gamescom

[placid laurel]

anomalous dugout and its tommy love having a podcast about stalker 2, twitch, İtstommylove

[solid dome]

Join around the campfire

Twitch yourself over there, bois

[placid laurel]

how much is it gonna be collectors edition or ultimate phsyical edition

i would sell my kidney

btw will we be able to customize phsyical editions? like im gonna get everything in ultimate phsyical edition but ill get the deluxe instead of ultimate edition of the game

[frail sonnet]

T-10 days untill "gamescom: Opening Night Live"

[finite dragon]

Anyone here french?

[vestal laurel]

I can speak it a bit😂.

I’m hoping Stalker 2 is well-optimized.

[indigo karma]

Try to gamble

Worked for me maybe it works for you aswell this is not a advice

[finite dragon]

invest in stocks

[worthy lagoon]

Around 300€

[old jungle]

Yes.

[finite dragon]

Excited that the walking dead come to france?

[old jungle]

What? I don't know what you are talking about?

[finite dragon]

A new spinoff will be set in paris

[old jungle]

Ok I did not know.

[finite dragon]

Is it worth if I pre order the stalker 2 heart of Chernobyl??

[placid laurel]

so 1€ is 30₺, ultimate digital edition is 110€ but it says its 600₺, so how much should i expect the collectors edition to be, if we speculate it as 300€

excuse my dumbass

[finite dragon]

True..

[placid laurel]

dude i want the phsyical editions so much

and the board games and the game

sadly i need money, lots of, and a PC

uhm yes, why not

i love it so much and it would be good to have these things

but yes the price is "a bit" expensice

we'll see...

[fossil fiber]

Why do you think people buy collectors edition's? To collect stuff

For you maybe but not for other people

You don't die if you stop playing games lol
what kind of logic is this

People create entire rooms out of collectable stuff to create a certain atmosphere for themselves

What's a waste of money and what's not - is very subjective thing because it depends how people value stuff they bought.

[errant canyon]

It is a pretty subjective thing

I think as long as you find value in it and it makes you happy then it's worth it

Well that's why you be smart about

Essential needs first then after if you got some left over money nothing wrong with buying something you want

I collect vinyls and it does bring me joy and it's really fun for me

Even if I don't use them daily it's cool to see all of them that I've collected

Very fulfilling hobby would reccomend

As long as your responsible there's no harm in it

I'm totally going to buy the collectors edition for 180

[placid laurel]

people have different kinds of habits, some people smoke, some people play golf, some people collect things, people find peace while doing their habits in this situation i would feel happy to buy, it may be stupid, it may be stupid to spend money on something you just look at in your opinion and i respect that but many people becomes happy

[errant canyon]

Personally I'm okay spending that money knowing that it's going to a company based in Ukraine that most likely desperately need that money

[fossil fiber]

It is connected to the game people love. There is your value

[placid laurel]

also this

i was just giving an example 😄

yea thanks

[errant canyon]

Either way super exited for it

The statue has a bunch of detail in it and looks sweet

I never even noticed the artifact In his hand

The collectors edition comes with this really sick statue of a stalker

[placid laurel]

*figurine

not tryna be a dickhead tho dont get me wrong

[errant canyon]

And it comes with some patches that I'm totally going to attach to my bomber jacket

Nahh

Because they are awesome and very comfortable

Especially in colder weather

[placid laurel]

search bomber jacket its a kind of jacket not about bombs lol i didnt know too

nice opinion btw i liked the style of the bomber jackets

(not related) search albert bierstadt

[errant canyon]

It was mainly used in ww2 by American pilots which explains the name

[placid laurel]

oh-

[errant canyon]

Because of the high altitude they would get super cold so the jackets are made for winter

But after it became popular because they are just good jackets

[placid laurel]

bumblebee or optimus prime?

[placid laurel]

its nice really

[errant canyon]

However they can get expensive like very

I was lucky enough to find one of good quality but wasn't that expensive

[placid laurel]

hmm

i mostly like kind of "communist" jacket at least thats what my father says

[errant canyon]

Personally soundwave or shockwave is my favorite but I'd have to say bumblebee

[placid laurel]

ooh nice choices

well im jsut a casual enjoyer and i like optimus, except them i would probably choose ironhide

but the new lambo guy(i dont remember the name) is also cool and enjoyable

#📸┃screens_and_videos

[errant canyon]

I'm excited for that new transformer game that's in the works

[placid laurel]

idk tbh

[solid dome]

Bruh

[errant canyon]

What do you mean bruhh

[finite dragon]

I wait for the game alexander on gog.

Like many others.

Ok, gsc?

[civic drift]

OMG I am so happy, finally after months of troubleshooting I just bit the bullet and reinstalled Windows and now I cna play vanilla SOC

[placid laurel]

what OS were you using before

i installed linux to cure my addiction of games and it was halfly succesfull but then the summer came and i re-installed windows

[silent crescent]

hows it goin fellow Stalkers

[eternal lichen]

I'm not sure if it is true but are they thinking of releasing it sometime this September if so when should I grab it? 🥺

[onyx vault]

Playing SoC for the first time, then moving to CoP.

I'm about to enter X-18. I have yet to completely clear Garbage, Agroprom or Dark Valley. I haven't moved any further north pass the Bar in Rostok.

I currently have all of my 9×18 & 9×19 ammo, 9×18 & 9×19 specialty ammo as well as my 9×18 & 9×19 unique weapons at the Duty checkpoint in North Garbage with everything else (5.45×39 ammo/weapons, grenades, meds/food & anomalies) in the Rostok Bar preparing to venture north.

Do you have any advice for me moving forward?

[prime spade]

September? Not a chance

The earliest speculated date is December 1st, that’s the only date that has any sense of backing

[eternal lichen]

Sry that's what I meant

[prime spade]

Ah, all good then

Imo don’t grab it until it releases

[eternal lichen]

Alright ^_^

[hazy helm]

where is Clear Sky

[prime spade]

No reason to preorder. If you want to be extra safe, just wait a few days after release to see if it’s a buggy mess or not

[eternal lichen]

Being extra safe is definitely what I'm aiming for

[onyx vault]

I heard Clear Sky was decent but not as good as SoC and CoP.
I heard CoP improved a lot of SoC (like being able to repair my unique weapons so I feel like I can actually use them).

[hazy helm]

CoP is the black sheep
CS is the evolution is many of the mechanics of SoC
and it should be played after SoC

[civic lava]

your weapons are trash 👍

[hazy helm]

and by bnlack sheep I mean

[onyx vault]

I am completely obsessed with SoC though. I feel like I'm establishing front lines and stocking valuable where they're needed.

[hazy helm]

CoP is completely different from SoC
it tries something different and smaller scale

but CS is a lot more like SoC

[onyx vault]

Yeah, I haven't unlocked 5.56 yet.
And I'm trying to save my unique weapons since they can't be repaired.
Like I said, I haven't cleared X-18 yet or gone any further than Rostok.

[onyx vault]

I just added it to my wishlist

[hazy helm]

why nobody like CS man

[onyx vault]

I have:
Fort-15
Walker 9×18
Martha
Noiseless Viper
Viper 9×18
Fast-Shooting AKM 74/2
Storming Obokan
Tunder 5.45

But I'm currently just using a standard Obokan with a scope and the Viper 9×18 with a silencer.
Wearing a Stalker Suit, hoping for an upgrade soon.
Anomalies: 1 Soul, 2 Slug, 2 Sparkle. But I'm going to just keep the Sparkle in my inventory once I find better upgrades.

I typically carry about 6 magazines of 9×18, 4 magazines of 5.45×39, 2 medkits, 10 bandages, 2 Anti-rad med, 2 bread & 2 vodka.

Preparing to enter X-18.

[fossil fiber]

Nobody?

[balmy hound]

I like it ! Some of the best pieces of music of the franchise + getting lost in the red forest was great.

Call of Prypiat was technically the best, but maybe not my favourite regarding the story.

[onyx vault]

What are your favorite artifact combos?

[hazy helm]

anomaly waht now?

you nplaying with a mod that adds anomaly activation or smth

[fossil fiber]

Clear Sky has a lot of small details that are now a fundamental part of the franchise. And just in general all 3 games try to do something different which should be respected.

[balmy hound]

I agree with you.

[onyx vault]

Sorry, I meant artifact

[hazy helm]

haa,well I mostly go stamina and anti radiation with a dash of bullet protection,at the cost of anomaly damage

[fossil fiber]

Not just you

[hazy helm]

I mean by the end of SoC I go full anti rad and bullet protection bc Im using exosqueleton so\

[onyx vault]

I'll definitely keep a couple of stamina artifacts in my inventory for sprinting to/from home base.
I like to collect everything I can and stash it.

I have like 150,000RU and like 2,500 rounds of 9×18, 9×19 & 5.45×39 and I haven't even gone further north than the bar yet.
I have like 150 medkits & 150 Anti-rad.
Like, 100 of every food.

And like 70 grenades.

[pearl jacinth]

how much does all of this weigh

[onyx vault]

Standard Inventory: 21.5k
Standard Obokan with a scope
Viper 9×18 with a silencer
Stalker Suit
Anomalies: 1 Soul, 2 Slug, 2 Sparkler.

6 magazines of 9×18
4 magazines of 5.45×39
2 medkits
10 bandages
2 Anti-rad med
2 bread & 2 vodka.

[onyx vault]

I will say that I don't like how there's a random chance a shot won't hit the enemy. The impact seems to be a meter or more away from the target, even while using a scope.
And also, are the enemies invulnerable while staggered? I'll burst fire like 6 rounds into them and nothing seems to damage them until they finish the staggered animation...

[onyx vault]

What are the best mods?
I'm looking at Memories of the Zone 1.2 and OWR3 with ZRP fixes. I really just want the weapons to feel better and for the atmosphere to feel darker and more dangerous.
Will these two mod packs work together?
This is my first time trying to mod.

[solid dome]

Keep waiting.
Cossacks fans among us still wait for 18th century units
Seven years have passed since.

[civic lava]

stop pinging me and get a better gear

[onyx vault]

Wow, you're so hardcore. You're really really good at a videogame bro.
You've gotten farther than me, what a badass.

[civic lava]

you're the one pinging me for b*llshit

play the game dude

[onyx vault]

You said, "Your weapons are trash."
You initiated a conversation with me and so I responded to you.
But you really don't have anything constructive to say. Just another guy on the Internet who wants to be a hard ass dude over the keyboard behind a screen.

[civic lava]

stop the butthurt and go back to your game

[onyx vault]

I'm not butthurt hommie. Just calling you out for being nothing but rude and confrontational behind the comfort of the Internet

[civic lava]

witch means: butthurt

[onyx vault]

Which means: annoyed that you're going to run your mouth and not face any repercussions

[civic lava]

got touched hum ?

[onyx vault]

Yeah, I get touched up with these boxing gloves, shins, knees and elbows. But I do the touching too

[civic lava]

look how strong he is he want a fight

dear lord dude thats the copest thing i saw here

[onyx vault]

I've been fighting 10 years.
You really have no idea who you're talking to

[civic lava]

i don't really give a sh*t dude

dude want a fight irl bc he got butthurt online LOL

[onyx vault]

You will when you think you can run your mouth to anybody out in the real world.
But you probably wouldn't ever do that, you'll just do it here.

[civic lava]

i'm crying rn fr

[onyx vault]

Just another weak person who really has no idea what is out there.
Go look up what Muay Thai is.

[civic lava]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

dude what person want to pick a real life fight just bc i tell you to play the game ? its the most funny thing i heard, how many insecure you need to be to do something like this ? KKKKKKKKK

[onyx vault]

I'm irritated that people on the Internet think it's acceptable to just speak rudely to anybody they want to.
And the people who do it really have no idea how easily wrecked they would be. Just want to keep laughing and being rude.

I'm not trying to fight you. I'm telling you that there are people like me walking around in the world who would completely destroy people like you and it wouldn't even be a fight because you wouldn't be able to touch me.

So be nice to people.

[civic lava]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK dude look at yourself, the same way you tell "easily wrecked" could be you hitiing the floor, just do your thing and stop being so butthurt with anything around you

[onyx vault]

Yeah, it could be. I've been knocked out. And I know what it takes to really train a combat sport.

[civic lava]

and still haven't learned the lesson? lol

[onyx vault]

Knocked out in an organized, sanctioned fight. Not on the streets.
Against somebody who really knows how to fight. Not some regular dude.

[pearl jacinth]

r y'all about to plan an mma match over the stalker discord server

[civic lava]

reaffirming yourself all the time just makes it more comical, how insecure you're dude, take this advise and stop calling people to real life fight just bc you got butthurt

[hollow field]

Was it confirmed that stalker 2 will have mod support?

[onyx vault]

This is exactly what I mean.
You really have no idea bro.
I'm 30, still in my prime and should be fighting pro.
But you're going to sit here and run your mouth and have no idea who you're talking to or what could happen to you.
You're lucky you're safe in your isolated, little world.

[civic lava]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[worthy owl]

Yes it's in the steam description of the game

[civic lava]

this makes you fell good ? tell people that you're at "prime" and make threats to then ? dear lord how losser you are man KKKKKKKKK

[hollow field]

Alright, so the mods would most likely be hosted through steam workshop then right?

[worthy owl]

I don't know but that sure would be great

[onyx vault]

No, it makes me very irritated that I come to a community to discuss common interests and run into people like you on the Internet.

[hollow field]

Would you also know what the "multiplayer" aspect is? I thought stalker series was primarily a solo experience

[civic lava]

and make threats and pose as "macho" shows how mature and brave you are: "on the internet" KKKKKKKKKKkKK

the whole thing is pretty hypocritical don't you think?

[worthy owl]

Check the multiplayer in the previous games it's probably gonna be the same thing

But who knows

[hollow field]

thanks

[worthy owl]

Np

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[onyx vault]

I'm not threatening and I'm not posing.
I asked a simple question, you wanted to be rude. Then I told you that you're weak and would easily crumble.
You're the one who can't accept that.
But for real, I could break you.

I'm done, you aren't going to learn until you get put in your place.

#🤨┃stalker_memes message

@vale bison what

[civic lava]

you can

remember garik ? he can lead you back witch is a plot hole

bc you do that big destructive quest in the underground while garik just found a funny map to pripyat

[civic lava]

don't worry, do some quests for the army fellas and garik will appear at laundromat

cop itself is full of plot holes, i wish he wasan't canon at all

the dude who was sleeping right next to nitro or the cardan friend ?

i know him

well keep exploring the map, especially the area with the big mining well where is full of anomalies and listen to all stories at station

some npcs tell stories at the station, those stories are not by text but voicely, listen and confront the npcs

one of then will tell lies based on your adventures

😎 👍

[waxen spire]

How in hell can you get your cover blown as a loner (anomaly). Like yes i dont run around with a gauss rifle and a smaller tier suit. So like how

[hazy helm]

I dunno,this is a Stalker channel not a Anomaly channel

[civic lava]

check that one freedom member who got a fat face

also have you done the chimera hunt quest ?

and the nitro quest to find materials ?

also here is a cool one for you, have you found the fire ranch anomaly field at yanov ? close to the zombie village, look further the anomaly and you can found a shoot down predator drone

no, not this one, nitro got another one for you

the materials quest to found some random stuff in a place at yanov

no dude thats the tool quest

the materials quest is different, talk with him

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Radio_equipment

this one is unmarked, have you saw a place full of zombies where theres some btrs parking ?

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Yanov#Container_Warehouse search for this location at yanov, theres a door in the basement use the code there

wrong location

Volkhov AA Complex this one

you can find a rpg there

is not worthy for me but its a rare gun

yeah it is

you have to kill him fast, he can mess up with the guns and f*ck the guns durability at the arsenal including the rpg

just knife him to death

yeah

but when you spam knife on him at close range he raise his shield and will try to use his close range atacks, use the quickbutton for the medkit

no, its this engine

this engine hitboxs are insanily big in some parts

so he keep standing when ded, bc his foot is too big

[vale bison]

What the military said about the stalker, I expressed my support by calling it "base and foundation"

[civic lava]

they will in the dezzwave stalker 2, those guys got the xray engine 2.0

[vale bison]

sorry, I did not know that you are an English-speaking person, so I wrote in Ukrainian

[civic lava]

no ue5, all my homies play with bugs

base games are very stable

mods

soc got some bad builds before the stable one

some really bugged stuff, like fix your armor on anomalies bug

much before the steam, soc was sell on cd rooms i used to got one myself, pirate of course

the first builds got some junk stuff like almost infinite durability, broken artifacts, broken npc logic, it was really fun but those small issues are there

actually steam was already a thing, but i was too poor to have internet

yep, you're playing the stable soc

and theres even more fixes today like the zrp

now you need to check that one place with the big mining weel, search for a injured stalker

yeah the big one excavator

also if you din't heard his lies i dunno if this event will trigger , but its good to check

yep

Hello there

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/598839708474408971.webp?size=44&quality=lossless

[sterile scroll]

Is ok, tho I'm having ukrainains as my neighbors (I'm romanian) so you were close

[timber violet]

they speak directly into your brain

[onyx vault]

I downloaded these two mods:
1.) Memories of the Zone 1.2 (+JSGME)
2.) OWR3 (+ZRP)

It looks like MotZ 1.2 has OWR3 (+ZRP) already. Can somebody help me get this going?

I had OWR3 installed already and it was working but I changed some settings in the mod manager and now SoC won't launch.
I read online that I might be the "dynamic fire lighting" setting. I changed it back but the game still won't launch.

So I deleted everything and I'm reinstalling it now.

[vale bison]

This is very cool bro

[sterile scroll]

It ain't cool when russian drones hit right next to your border

But is cool we offer access to the Danube river

Imma head out see ya

[vale bison]

Yes, you're right, I just had loud explosions yesterday, and that's because the Russian scumbags launched two ballistic missiles at us, It is very bad

And what really sucks is that the rockets flew to the air alert, this is not the first time, I live in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region, you must have heard of Kryvyi Rih

A few weeks ago, the Russian scum also launched two ballistic missiles, according to information, they wanted to hit the SBU building, but unfortunately, these stupid missiles hit a multi-story building with people

Now, thank God, I lived, and so did my mother, we live under shelling that we did not expect

Sorry for the offtopic

[vale bison]

Bro, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm used to it

No one deserves this at all, only the Russian state and people who support the war in Ukraine deserve it

[versed perch]

Are the other games as buggy as SOC?

I'm playing vanilla and it seems like almost every thing I do, something breaks

also is there a reason to join a faction?

[errant canyon]

Not as buggy but they still have many bugs

[errant canyon]

Depending on what faction you join they might give you certain gear that is very very good plus i like to join the faction that I think is right @versed perch

[fossil fiber]

Normally it shouldn't happen

[errant canyon]

Highly reccomend bug fixing mods

[onyx vault]

I tried installing Memories of the Zone 1.2 but idk if I put it in the right 📁.
I found xrEngine.exe but it already was a shortcut and had " -steam in the properties.

I don't think it did anything...
So I installed OWR3 and put the gamedata 📁 in the SoC 📁.
That works.

Tried putting MotZ 1.2 in the OWR3 gamedata 📁 but I don't think it did anything.

Also, I think when I change the fire or flashlight settings in OWR3 it causes my game to not start and I have to delete everything and reinstall everything.

[civic lava]

My little bro, you can't join a faction in soc, by normal ways, you can became friend of her witch don't have many gains, all that happens is that the other faction will hate you. But in cop, help faction until became a friend give you a achievement and every time you get in trouble a random squad of that faction will come to rescue.

Now speaking of join, i really don't recommend, if a mod is allowing you to do this i recommend to play a properly freeplay mod and not join in soc. This feature was never properly implemented, you can broke some quests bc the relation of faction is incomplete, as an example, by join freedom the ecologists will become hostile to you breaking your game, so don't do it. Play coc or anomaly to get a faction experience.

[errant canyon]

I was looking for the songs from shadow of chernobyl on spotify but it sadly seems it's not on there

[lost frost]

MotZ is stand-alone

Like completely stand alone

[onyx vault]

What do you mean?
I'm playing using Steam so I have the game in my steamapp/common folder.

[lost frost]

MotZ doesn’t even require SoC

[onyx vault]

Something said to just make a new folder. So it's the whole game for free?

[lost frost]

Yeah and don’t put it in your steam folder either

[onyx vault]

Ah, ok. I think I'm going to just settle with the guns all being fixed.
I really wanted the nights to be much darker and the storms to be more intense.

I have all the guns acting realistically and damage being insane, 1-2 shots for the enemy to die & for me to die.
Still awful accuracy at times though...

[lost frost]

It’s a game from 2007

Learn to love the jank

[hazy helm]

its not even jank its just how the gameplay is

[lost frost]

Yeah true

[onyx vault]

I'm sniping military members on the road from a hill outside of the rookie village and my rounds will hit like 3 or 4 METERS above and to the right/left of my target...

[hazy helm]

I dunno man
Maybe you should play something else other than skyrim stealth archer

[fossil fiber]

What weapon are you using?

[onyx vault]

OWR3 Obokan with a scope.
I'm like, maybe 80 meters away.

Just out of their aggro range

[fossil fiber]

I don't think Obokan is a good weapon for snipping people.

[worn oar]

How dare you?

[onyx vault]

Yeah, it's not an actual sniper rifle. I set the fire type to (1) and use it as a marksman rifle.
But still, my rounds should be THAT FAR off of target...

[worn oar]

How dare you spit facts davincii

[onyx vault]

Instead of true trajectory it's like there's a big cone and the rounds can go anywhere within that cone randomly..

[hazy helm]

bc that is how it works

[fossil fiber]

Well, it's Stalker for you

[hazy helm]

Stalker actually has Counter Strike DNA

[onyx vault]

Are the other games like that too?
Does OWR3 not fix true trajectory?

[fossil fiber]

My apologies. I forgot we are not allowed to do it in STOC

[hazy helm]

OWR and FWR only change models and animations
and CS is also like thjat,I think CoP is the same tbh?I cant be sure rn

that IS part of the gameplay

it also plays into the upgrade system in CS and CoP

[onyx vault]

Hopefully not carried on to S2

[hazy helm]

hopefully,it is

we need to keep the Stalker DNA intact

I assure you,Counter Strike accuracy is essential in it

[fossil fiber]

Why not? It encourages player to upgrade his weapon

[onyx vault]

I want my guns to function like real guns.
Not a cone of random accuracy and a percentage of hits not registering when they're perfectly on target.

[worn oar]

Do they not?

[hazy helm]

they shoot
real enuff

I bet you also think the OICW shouldnt be in the zone

it should

[worn oar]

Join our cult and you'll be allowed to do so freely

[lost frost]

stalker isn’t about realism

[fossil fiber]

I'm already part of the NDA Cult though

[onyx vault]

What is OICW?

[hazy helm]

this is false btw
if a bullet hits,it registers,there is no percentage

I need to say this bc it was an urban myth

ppl actually thought it happened

[worn oar]

But have you joined SToCtown church yet?

[hazy helm]

crazy expensive experimental 2000s AR with a Airburst Rifle

[fossil fiber]

Can you be in multiple cults simultaneously? 🧐

[hazy helm]

give em to the Monolith soldiers in Sarcophagus

it fits

so well

[civic lava]

i have her, in my super fun mod

But she is just a f2000

[hazy helm]

well that is bc youre based

[civic lava]

I want to fix her, use the bullpup animations without hud to create reload the glauncher magazine

The thing is every grenade launcher is set to 1 round

[hazy helm]

make it a new weapon and make a custom animation for reloading and shooting the grenade launcher

as tho you were shooting a normal one

it will be less satisfying BUT

Im like 100% sure its an engine thing

[civic lava]

Make animations is harder and that's not the problem, the glauncher mag size is hardcoded

[fossil fiber]

If you want guns to be more accurate - upgrade them. This is a part of stalker progression system

[hazy helm]

like I said,save yourself the trouble

[onyx vault]

I'm playing SoC rn. Just getting into the series.

[hazy helm]

the Abakan is not a sharpshooters rifle,and its not supposed to be used like that
as you progress you will get more accurate weapons but the AK's are not accurate

[worn oar]

Ofc! @solid dome WILL FEEL YOU IN

[hazy helm]

this is due to how progression is tied to equipment

[worn oar]

Fill* hehe

[civic lava]

Let me show you her

[hazy helm]

the LR300 will have more damage and better accuracy
the SGI even more
and the FT200m will be the top line

[fossil fiber]

Well, then find better guns. Some guns are not really suitable for snipping.

Basically what you need to understand about Stalker series is that it uses rpg-like progression system without actual rpg mechanics outside of improving your gear

[charred fox]

yea

perfect description

[placid laurel]

does devs actually see emails or read discord suggestions?

[fossil fiber]

Which e-mails do you mean?

[onyx vault]

I can feel that. I've gotten super obsessed with it, feeling like I'm actually paving a way to the center and establishing armory caches in various levels.
I play Fallout/Elder Scrolls, D&D and other RPG classics so I'm really digging Stalker.

[fossil fiber]

Yep, having your own stashes is part of the fun. And then other part of the fun is actually choosing what stuff to bring with you when you go on a mission.

[fervent swan]

yo, that's that weapon from half life 2 beta

[hazy helm]

Hum...sure!

[errant canyon]

I recently bought metro exodus and was trying to get into it

I feel so conflicted on it

[civic drift]

Windows 11 but it wouldn't work without using OGSR or mods th at use OGSR

[balmy hound]

I understand. It's really a corridor-like story-driven game, like COD, so if you think the story is not that good, it's hard to get into this franchise (I never played exodus). Stalker is a way higher experience.

[civic drift]

Metro Exodus is a open world exploration stealth fps unlike the previous 2 games

[balmy hound]

And yet, when I see some footage on youtube, I can't be hyped enough to try exodus...

I don't really know for sure what makes Stalker work and not Metro.

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[balmy hound]

You too Ranjid ! I was waiting for your message, i'm coming out of bed

[fossil fiber]

Stalker is life, Metro is a movie

[placid laurel]

which? like the ones players sebd

[worn oar]

Stalker marked the evolution of 2000s games. It is the inspiration to many other games. I can't count how many games actually used stalker gameplay aspect and built upon in their games

Stalker is life as DaVinci said

[pearl jacinth]

once you enter the zone, there's really no leaving it

[worn oar]

The zone has a will of its own. Call it a huge space bubble 🤣 once you're trapped, there is no getting out

[worn oar]

What do you think? Considering how twisted that channel is right now?

Perhaps it was considered the first year or two? But now? I highly doubt that.
The game is already in its final stage. So, 🤷

[solid dome]

Come on, stalker. Pipe down. Let me feel you in.

[worn oar]

@fossil fiber this is your Q

[fossil fiber]

What did you do to Petruha?

[worn oar]

He felt him in

[placid laurel]

[finite dragon]

Hello. I am going home by plane.

[west harbor]

anybody knows what happened to that freedomer's radioactive joint?

most importantly, what happened to the dude who smoked it

[glossy blade]

Nothing good

[worthy lagoon]

[icy wadi]

Never gonna play OLR with cheats ever again...

[west harbor]

[icy wadi]

I turn on god mode cheat and got tangle up in that gravity anonaly

He was a good STALKER, Now he is Worm Food

[earnest spire]

I made a request for a physical copy, but my confirmation email said region "empty". I made a new request and made sure I filled out everything but same result. did I do something wrong 😅

[glossy blade]

You can DM me with exact details of your request and I will check what is going on

[unique zinc]

I was playing SoC and something came up on my screen saying electro articact appearing at 5 am or something
anyone know what it is?

[pearl olive]

moonlight artifact.. should be lying around at night in certain areas - lots in the wild territory anomolies

[unique zinc]

thats weird because you usually never get a warning of an artifact appearing

and a moonlight at red forest.

[split kestrel]

Hello stalkers

What's up?

[thin pawn]

Gold fish and fruit punch best artifacts🚬

[fossil fiber]

The audacity to post it right in front of Mol1t

[granite coral]

😄

It has been not confirmed yet btw

[fossil fiber]

Sometimes silence is very telling if you know what I mean

[granite coral]

I just wanted to share 😄

[rocky shadow]

It was shared here a few time already i think

[granite coral]

I wasnt online sorry

[rocky shadow]

NP. Just reddit and everything is full of it. I suppose almost everyone saw it already.

[granite coral]

I think GSC will be confirmed it during the Gamescom

or after the event

[placid laurel]

😄

[timid lotus]

hmm noice

[placid laurel]

[timid lotus]

[worn oar]

Gamescom will tell

[worn oar]

Turkish are invading the chat

Well, we share a similar flag I suppose I'm the only Tunisian stalker here

[placid laurel]

[worn oar]

He's seeing illusions

[full estuary]

your face is a downgrade

[pearl jacinth]

woaaghhh

[worn oar]

Nah that's bloodsucker fart

[ashen niche]

have played and completed both gamma and anomaly before trying out the og games

[worn oar]

Beware

[pearl jacinth]

WRONG

[placid laurel]

does pink smell.. fishy?

[ashen niche]

what a vibe this is

[pearl jacinth]

this new shit from the bunker goes absolutely crazy

[worn oar]

[worn oar]

Let us not get rude here

[full estuary]

I'm not, don't be a snowflake issa joke

[worn oar]

I would've recommended the opposite

[pearl jacinth]

eeheehhh rahmi, have you ever heard of the gorilla that escaped the zoo

[worn oar]

good, that's the spirit buddy

[ashen niche]

its like playing the prequels

[pearl jacinth]

gamma and anomaly aren't canon

[placid laurel]

exactly

[pearl jacinth]

clear sky is the prequel

[placid laurel]

but without main story its a good way to understand the zone tbh

[placid laurel]

this

[worn oar]

That's the problem! Ppl consider abnomaly now a prequel hehe

[pearl jacinth]

i guess not... being a very quiet gorilla has its perks!

[ashen niche]

wait i meant anomaly is the sequel and the og games are like the prequel

[worn oar]

rings a bell

[pearl jacinth]

stalker 2 is the sequel

[ashen niche]

yea you are right anomaly is more of a spinoff

[worn oar]

💀

Somebody shoots me

[full estuary]

counter strike 1.6 is prequel

[worn oar]

Plz

[worn oar]

GTA 5 is the prequel, don't troll the guy.. cmon

[full estuary]

ok ok my bad

[pearl jacinth]

but who's gonna march towards saving the planet, while not letting dangerous anomalies, mutants, anarchists, or bandits get in their way?

[full estuary]

Franklin joins monolith and becomes white while Trevor gets raped by freedomers and is lost to the zone. Michael befriends strelok and they become gay friends

[worn oar]

@cloud crane will take on my footsteps

@solid dome will guide him through.

[placid laurel]

are ya winning son?

[worn oar]

Stalker 2 story content is forbidden 🚫

[full estuary]

it's from 2011 build

is allowed

[worn oar]

My bad then

[placid laurel]

[worn oar]

Who? Marked one?

[rain pulsar]

Yar builds a lada in S2 and drives across the pacific to get to canada

[full estuary]

Next week finally gamescom starts imagine that

[placid laurel]

[worn oar]

How many days left?

[full estuary]

[worn oar]

Come friend, I'll put the artifact I found in your pocket

[pearl jacinth]

PIPE BOMB

[worn oar]

Help me find the skip button

[placid laurel]

[worn oar]

Shhh, it's not a pipe bomb

Wouldn't kill a clearskie

[pearl jacinth]

[placid laurel]

soon i will paint the skies of all clear to blood red...

[worn oar]

Hehe something for you dudes to study in the afterlife

[worn oar]

[full estuary]

Do it like my autistic friend does it, just sleep to skip time

[worn oar]

Work has left the server.

[full estuary]

Yeah you need to be autistic or a kid so that you don't worry about work

God i wish i was autistic

[worn oar]

Sadly I'm not both then

[worn oar]

The prices we are willing to pay to play stalker 2

[full estuary]

I'm down bad for new lore of the game

[ashen niche]

i really am looking forward to the blind guy's story

[hazy helm]

I hipe they dont ruin the lore but Im hopeful

[full estuary]

We can only hope

[worn oar]

No vasim, noooo.. I would shoot myself

I rather fight a controller naked than think abt that

[full estuary]

Wards are the new Duty

[worn oar]

?ah

[worn oar]

Dovy

[full estuary]

He means the one from the trailer where he roasts a duty guy

[ashen niche]

from the trailers mate

[worn oar]

Shhhh

[full estuary]

Look Duty is my favourite faction too but i have a feeling we'll have to face new chads in the zone that are also paramilitary like

[worn oar]

The Monolith Socrates?

[cloud crane]

We work together?

[worn oar]

I may be blind but it is you who can't see

[cloud crane]

I thought I was captain?

@worn oar yk you raised my rank as captain and gave me groza

[placid laurel]

btw what is max's group?

[ashen niche]

also, the guy on the roof in the seva suit, hes strelok right?

[placid laurel]

which

[ashen niche]

has glorious hair tho

[worn oar]

We will be facing that, but it doesn't mean we're not going to see duty

[full estuary]

I hope not because his hair aint the same there, but the seva suit color is the same as strelok's doe

[worn oar]

In that case, we wouldn't be seeing freedubs too

[cloud crane]

@worn oar ???

[full estuary]

Im not saying that we wont see em, they are confirmed to be there anw

[ashen niche]

man, I cant wait so see more of stalker

[cloud crane]

Colonel

[ashen niche]

later this month right?

[cloud crane]

Im just asking

[full estuary]

Starting 23rd

[worn oar]

Yes! In case I shoot myself, you'll follow krezzin's guidance and become the new colonel in my stead

[worn oar]

You mean, the influence?

[full estuary]

Wat

[worn oar]

Well, it's not a secret now

The story is revolving around Monolith and the ward

[cloud crane]

Yo I can turn off

Lemme go turn off the brain scorcher

I did it for once before

[worn oar]

Other factions, except free stalkers will kinda have minor influence, or at least that's what I think.

[cloud crane]

@worn oar I turned off for once

is that good and affects my career?

[cloud crane]

ALRIGHT

[worn oar]

Nope

[worn oar]

Bruh haha

[cloud crane]

but good?

[worn oar]

Your ex- exp is already giving you goodwill strelok

[cloud crane]

really my old mission succeses really does good?

[worn oar]

You opened the way to the north

[cloud crane]

btw you asked me to turn off brainscorcher before

shall I march and kill monolithians for it?

[worn oar]

Yes! Take what you need from the armory

A squad is already waiting near the eggheads bunker

[cloud crane]

alright

[worn oar]

I marked their coordinates in your pda

[cloud crane]

I heard krezin is here too right?

[remote crow]

Strelok please don’t go out and find them anymore you haven’t been home in almost three weeks

[worn oar]

Krezzin is praying on the top of the antenna

He's trying to get the zone to speak to him and reveal stalker 2 release date

[cloud crane]

@solid dome What the hall?

(tables are turned)

[remote crow]

Krezzin stop being a bad influence

[cloud crane]

Btw the north goes to Pripyat right?

[worn oar]

He's on duty

[cloud crane]

If I move on from duty base to pripyat

[worn oar]

New amnesia.

[remote crow]

FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS

[cloud crane]

Idk Man I forgot the way to pripyat

but thanks for coordinates

[worn oar]

He's climbing ranks fast! His work is paying off so let it be a month if need be.

[remote crow]

Ok fine, I’ll say I’m proud 😌❤️

[worn oar]

He's a captain already!

[cloud crane]

I lead my group

for turn off the scorcher (I did it in game once)

[haughty escarp]

monolith is hot

[worn oar]

You know what's really hot?

[haughty escarp]

the sun

[worn oar]

Yes!

[haughty escarp]

lets goooo

[timid lotus]

is there any bloodsucker?

[worn oar]

Ask freedumb..

[timid lotus]

yessir!

[solid dome]

Wonderful. I caught with my scanner on a rarely used frequency a distant voice echoing something along the lines of "Skeeef... beeef..", it kept going for 2-3 seconds then static noise came on.

What the hulk would it mean?

[narrow tartan]

Why is Anomaly so disliked? I haven't played it so I'm just wondering.

[solid dome]

I could swear it was ""Skeef....beef" and not "Skeep...beep" like "Ska-ba-di-bi-dip" like Scatman John sang in 90s

Am I hallucinating?

[worn oar]

the nosphere is reaching out to you!

[solid dome]

I sat on top of the antenna, 400 m above ground

I almost had a date with - umm -- the lady in red

[worn oar]

umbrella xD

[solid dome]

What the hueck!

[narrow tartan]

[worn oar]

cuz its being called a prequel

ppl playing it before og

and coming to throw their twisted abnomaly lore here

[narrow tartan]

What's different about it?

[worn oar]

asking for sin or isg lol

[worn oar]

its a mod, and thats all

[solid dome]

Abnormaly tends to malfunction a lot due to the poor dough bakers use and feed it with

[worn oar]

there is no isg and no sin in stalker

[narrow tartan]

There was going to be.

ISG probably still exists though.

[worn oar]

and then it was not

[solid dome]

Twitch fam - Its an amazing game

[worn oar]

lore is dev work, not modders

[narrow tartan]

There's references to UN scientists in The Zone.

[solid dome]

Reddit - What a piece of gem the game is

Google - Error 404

[worn oar]

you wont get my point

[solid dome]

Molit, tell us on what frequency we can talk to her, her magnificence The Zone

[worn oar]

I dont hate abnomaly, I just hate when ppl consider it too much than normal.

[solid dome]

Who loves Abnormaly anyways

[worn oar]

the right way to play the game is starting the OGs and then mods

[solid dome]

It. Is. Abnormal... Explicit.

[worn oar]

doing otherwise, will only get the exp twisted

[worn oar]

plenty

hehe

[narrow tartan]

Anomaly looks very polished.

[worn oar]

not entierly, but yeah, the devs did a good job making it

still, I dont feel great playing it

[hazy helm]

It never existed to begin with

You cannot "still exist" if you weren't created to begin with

[solid dome]

[drops mic]

[pseudo rivet]

And not of ISG

AKA UN is definitely canon

ISG Bn't

[hazy helm]

there are references about the UN in The Zone
mainly of them getting traumatized and running away with their tails beetween their legs swearing to never come back

[silver glade]

i hope there are big buff shirtless men in stalker 2

[prime spade]

anakin asking for ISG for the 10th time

please....just let that fake faction die already

[worthy lagoon]

Not ISG

[dark river]

hi, I am in desperately need of some meshes (OGF/OGM, partially textures and sometimes even ANM files for my mod/repack based on CoC 1.5r6 - I've tried out about 4-6 different weapons which I really want to integrate into them. Some simple SMGs did work while some did not - regardless whether I was trying to port them from Anomaly 1.5.1/2, some ShoC-Mods, CoP-vanilla-Mods or other weapon packs - regardless whether I've imported them from English or Russian Forums ... I am missing the AK-9, the OC-12/"Tiss" (the AKs74u-like-looking 9x39 cal. SMG), the PP-19-01-"Vityaz" - but apparently all those are leading to a CTD even before the Splash Screen could disappear....no matter whether I've imported (and adjusted the configs, file-paths, and so on!) from SGM4COC1.4.22, Anomaly 1.5.1 or 1.5.2, A.R.E.A.-Mod, even imorting some of those weapons from StCOP-(or other, like KBT ver.5.0+) weapon pack(s) didn't work - I have the feeling that the OGFs/OMFs/ANMs(?) aren't somehow compatible to the actually "same" 32-bit-xRay-Engine CoC 1.5r6 is using... Does anyone could share any advice, hint, link to some archive of at least some of the mentioned weapons so I could integrate them into it? I am really desperated after weeks if not months of trying to get this stuff to work...
Sorry for that text...but I guess that either someone could share his ideas...or I'm rather fcked and don't know how to proceed....neither found any competent answers (rather no answers at all...sadly), neither on the two reddit-stalker-channels, nor on Eng./Rus.-Speaking forums, nor the hand ful of STALKER-telegram channels....I'd be very thankful for any hint, advice...as I get to get as more desperated.... :/

[worthy lagoon]

Wha

Pretty sure you got the wrong server, you should ask in the Anomaly server

They probably know a thing or two regarding porting stuff to Anomaly

[worthy lagoon]

What are the specs of your pc?

[pseudo rivet]

Do you have SoC, CS and CoP?

[silent crescent]

are the Stalker games even out on xbox?

[pseudo rivet]

PC only

[silent crescent]

yeah just what i expected

i gotta finish Clear Sky

[pseudo rivet]

S.T.2 will be on Xbox as well, though

[silent crescent]

and basically the whole OG Trilogy lol

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, it's based

[silent crescent]

i started playing Escape from Pripyat that made me love Stalker games

just never finished any of them

[pseudo rivet]

Sorry to hear you started with a mod

[silent crescent]

i mean i was recommended to play that

[pseudo rivet]

Exactly

[silent crescent]

at that time i didnt had the money to buy Tarkov and i got told that has a few elements like Tarkov i was like okay

[pseudo rivet]

Oof

[silent crescent]

but i def want to finish the OG Trilogy

with actually paying attention to the lore cuz my ass never did that lol

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, well, I've been playing STALKER for years and still found stuff I didn't know to this day

Read as much dialogue as you can, including the NPCs and the different outcomes

They're pretty interesting

[rain ice]

Cant believe this game comes out on my birthday

[pseudo rivet]

Dang, didn't know your birthday was TBA

[silent crescent]

there isnt a specific day announced yet

sadly its still possible we'll get a delay on S2

[hazy helm]

hey as long as I dont lose my bet

[pseudo rivet]

At this point, we'll be more likely to see STALKER 2 in the future than RoH

[silent crescent]

cant wait to see the hype of the launch day on the server tho

[hazy helm]

good ridance
have you actually seen RoH artworks?

[pseudo rivet]

Can't wait to be a mod again on that day

[silent crescent]

even tho i most likely wont be able to actually play the game

[hazy helm]

its,hilarious

[pseudo rivet]

Didn't get a good enough look, would love to

[hazy helm]

ho damn,we getting crimson back?

Im all for this decision

[pseudo rivet]

Doubtfully

[pseudo rivet]

Make a petition I guess

[hazy helm]

https://media.giphy.com/media/QTDNYQhY4XFX0SFWRf/giphy.gif

we despair

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl, I'm feeling pretty middle, lowest row

Got le RoH artwork?

[silent crescent]

what is RoH? Im pretty sure im missing out on something

[pseudo rivet]

Ray of Hope

[narrow tartan]

Whose to say it isn't ISG? They're international scientists after all.

[pseudo rivet]

Not mentioned, so it's not them

[hazy helm]

its pretty damn funny

[pseudo rivet]

It was basically meant to be a sort of MMO for STALKER, except STALKERn't

[pseudo rivet]

Bruh

That's a gorilla fused with a dog

[silent crescent]

ah i see

poor UNISG getting hated on constantly lol

[hazy helm]

ISG is a community made term
They are the UN
they ahve 2 textures and a collective of 5-6 lines of audio for combat,literal dry quips saying taking cover and shooting
this from Clear Sky builds
we have rumours and stories of course all of them state that the UN has utterly failed at every task it set out to do within the zone and that each time they tried they got more discouraged
the only thing the UN does is send some mainland scientists,get them all killed and do nothing

this does not make faction\

[pseudo rivet]

Dude, too many words

[hazy helm]

ISG and UNISG factions are community made

[pseudo rivet]

He won't read that

It's easy to explain

[hazy helm]

the fun doesnt stop
look at him...

look at his face...

[pseudo rivet]

ISG isn't mentioned, UN is. UN canon, ISG canon't because made up

[silent crescent]

dude in other Stalker related discord servers i see Duty and Mercs hating on each other

here i see everyone hate on UNISG LMAO

[pseudo rivet]

[pseudo rivet]

Literally Space Bubble shenanigans

[silent crescent]

dont know what SIN does or who they are but im happily listening lol

[pseudo rivet]

Nothing more than a bad dream...

[hazy helm]

they were an earlier concept that was fighting for spotlight with the monolith and so it was cut to give monolith the spotlight
and it was the right decision

quite honestly

[pseudo rivet]

You can ask Ashot!

[silent crescent]

they are a secret faction currently arent they?

[pseudo rivet]

They're a "DOESN'T EXIST' type beat faction

[hazy helm]

Sin doesnt exist in cannon
there are some easter eggs related to "dark stalkers"

but it never escalates

[silent crescent]

UNISG 1.0 basically?

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, doesn't exist in canon

[hazy helm]

nha

Sin had actual lore and concepts,with quests and such

it was not a non existant community made faction like UNISG

[pseudo rivet]

UNISG is indeed made up wackerino

[hazy helm]

all my homies hate UNISG

[pseudo rivet]

Just like CoC thinks that CS is basically a scientific Duty

[hazy helm]

I mean,ever since CoC made all factions playable,they were not doing it to be lore frendly,so I dont really see a problem with doing their own thing as long as their own thing somehow misleads ppl

[silent crescent]

right what is CoC (sorry for dumb questions)

[pseudo rivet]

Call of Chernobyl

[hazy helm]

Call of Chernobyl,the OG freeplay all maps linked mod

[pseudo rivet]

Basically a big ol' sandbox standalone that's unbalanced and wack

Usually modded to hell afterwards

[silent crescent]

right thanks for answering

[pseudo rivet]

It can be based, I'll admit

[hazy helm]

if you want to do smth more close to a game instead of a sandbox you will probably use CoP SDK or OGSR or OpenXray

[pseudo rivet]

But as-is, it's definitely unbalanced

[hazy helm]

I dont think you should make CoC balanced,I just think you need to make it fun

bc,doing the same thing you did in 10 minutes,but repeated over however much time you play,really isnt

[pseudo rivet]

CoP's weapons are balanced... mostly

[hazy helm]

Imma be honest with you,playing CoP has made me realise I prefer CS's and SoC's balancing more

and that I actually like weapon packs with 1001 weapons

[pseudo rivet]

But I refuse to mag dump a trenchcoat Bandit in the head more than once and him still being alive

[hazy helm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/550869975385112606/1133054221965607022/image0.gif

[pseudo rivet]

CS' balancing is the same as CoP... ish

[silent crescent]

i love how in CS (i assume in all the other original games) the PMM is the most inaccurate thing in the world

[hazy helm]

no not really,CS still tries to use a RPG like system where you are switching equipment for better one down the line but allows you to customize it to your preference's

CS really had the best gunplay in the series...

[pseudo rivet]

PMm Gang, it's literally a sniper rifle

[silent crescent]

i probably would like it better if i didnt start with EFP

[pseudo rivet]

Same with CoP, but when you unlock all the upgrades, then there's definitely more choice

[pseudo rivet]

Also, true

Because CS is clearly the best game in the series

[silent crescent]

i heard quite the opposite 💀

[pseudo rivet]

Those heretics don't know anything

[hazy helm]

not really
ewapons in the lower tiers are made viable by upgrades while in CS you cannot just use the AK for the entire game,you need to ujpgrade
CoP lets you ride it in the ass even with no upgrades
CS will stop you and spank you if you do not upgrade

like have you tried playing CoP?stuff is easier than I dunno

[pseudo rivet]

So, let's say you're playing CoP and you've got an AKM-74/2U. Would you trade it for an IL 86?

[hazy helm]

no

[pseudo rivet]

Dang, bad choice ngl

[hazy helm]

lmao

[pseudo rivet]

GP 37 then?

Just had to say IL 86, simply because I like it so much

[hazy helm]

I will be completely honest with you brother,I would keep the AK bc of its ammo

IL86 is fine tho

[pseudo rivet]

IL 86 with 5.45

[hazy helm]

I would but here is the thing,I could just,yknow,use the normal AK and not have to worry about anything
in CS that kind of mentality would never fly,the later levels would be very unfun if you forgot to upgrade
but in CoP,its just,it doesnt matter,as long as its a rifle with ammo it will do the job no worries

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl dawg, I don't ever want to use a CoP weapon without upgrading it

It feels so bad

In CS, new unupgraded weapons at least felt normal and useable

(Another point for CS )

[silent crescent]

slugs in CS feel literally useless ngl

[hazy helm]

just a result of CS superiority

[pseudo rivet]

They are

[silent crescent]

explains a lot...

[pseudo rivet]

Don't bother with them

Barely worth the price, either

[silver glade]

i love big hunky shirtless men

[pseudo rivet]

And they weight a ton

[silver glade]

it should be a faction in stalker 2

[pseudo rivet]

Ayy, nice to see a fellow Team Fortress 2 fan

[silent crescent]

i dont since i realised that they are just as effective as shooting air

[pseudo rivet]

@silver glade
My recommendation

[silver glade]

i have the ultimate edtion pre order to stalker 2 and i think shirtless men should be in the game

[pseudo rivet]

Controllers are already confirmed

@hazy helm
Still got some of the RoH concept art of the outfits and the factions?

[hazy helm]

I dont know why he looks like a character from death stranding

ho and

[pseudo rivet]

Hmm

Acceptable, just not for STALKER

[hazy helm]

I dont even know why they though the designs needed rework or why they wanted to redo the models at all

I...I hadnt seen this one

?????

I just dont know where they want to take all of this

[pseudo rivet]

Alright, but not for STALKER

[hazy helm]

I mean does this look bad?no...but if I told you those are the scientist suits youd call me a liar

they look like spacesuits more like

haa well,Ill see you tmrw

gonna go sleep\

[pseudo rivet]

Cya

[civic lava]

Starfield new suits?

[narrow tartan]

ISG is on their suits.

[pseudo rivet]

Okay, where?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/stalker/images/9/9c/GIS_LogoMain_Badge.png/revision/latest?cb=20200418135748

I don't see "ISG" on the logo

Nor on the suits themselves

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/stalker/images/0/03/Act_ISG.png/revision/latest?cb=20101014211237

[narrow tartan]

That's not the ISG texture.

[pseudo rivet]

Ah, of course, it's clear it's not an ISG texture, despite it having a logo quite similar to that of your avatar

Honest mistake

Can you show me the ISG textures?

[narrow tartan]

I'm not sure where it is online, but it is in Anomalous Dugout's video on ISG

[pseudo rivet]

Ah yes, a video of a mod

Let me take a look

[sonic wasp]

hey

[narrow tartan]

It's about ISG and them going to be in Clear Sky.

And references about them later on.

General info.

[sonic wasp]

does anyone mod?

[sonic wasp]

Sorry to bother you but I'm currently modding stalker shadow of Chernobyl an I added a few mods and now stalker just won't even open up

[pseudo rivet]

Don't use mods, especially when you're playing the game for the first time

[pseudo rivet]

Might've gotten confused at some point with the suits, but the fact remains that ISG is not canon

The UN being around in the Zone is definitely canon, though

Mentioned only, however

[narrow tartan]

I feel like these UN scientists might actually be ISG though, since we've already known of a faction composed of international scientists.

It would be strange if they weren't.

[pseudo rivet]

ISG isn't mentioned, so it's not canon

UN is canon, but we don't know what they wear

It's kinda like the Shamans, in a way

[sonic wasp]

First time modding not first time playing

[pseudo rivet]

Except, in the case of the Shamans, we actually find one of them in-game

[pseudo rivet]

You can probably get some help around #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

I'm not really a mods guy, I'm afraid

Sticking to the Vanilla lore

[sonic wasp]

I'm doing some bug fixes and environment enhancements and graphic enhancements, that's all

[pseudo rivet]

Aye

Perhaps the duders in modification can help you out

[sonic wasp]

I just want to play the bass game, just enhanced

[cobalt nexus]

Just use ZRP, a weapon texture mod, an fov mod and reshade. Anything more is not the base game.

[worn oar]

Damn stalker haha that's savage

Isg again 🤡

Abnomaly influence ...

[hazy helm]

ISG would be the name of the SQUAD,not a faction

also

the textures featured in build 3120 are literally dirty edits from GSC bc they didnt have time to make the UN textures

this not mentioning that Build 3120 is a build made by Loxohotron which is essentially a mashup even featuring some mods

not to mention,Build 3120 only has one playable space which were the swamps

I dunno why youre practicing such mental gymnastics just to say "ISG at least existed" when everything points to they were never cannon and even in the writers room they never considered the UN a big player

[pseudo rivet]

We like to call it "coping"

[hazy helm]

yhea

bottomline
the squad had a temporary name ISG and was part of the UN and the sequence was as quickly taken out as it was put in the game

[finite dragon]

What do you think mgs volume 2 will include?

[reef raptor]

question, if on retail sites the ultimate edition is out of stock
will the stock come back or is it gone forever on that site

[worthy lagoon]

It will restock

[reef raptor]

oh thank god lol
now part 2 is hoping that I can ship to the faroe islands

[timber violet]

One more week for gamescom :)

Imagine if Stalker2 make waves like Baldurs Gate 3 did

[pseudo rivet]

No way it will

[prime spade]

I seriously, with the greatest degree of patience I can give, kindly ask you to PLEASE SHUT UP ALREADY

can you seriously stop bandwagoning on some suit and vague scripts of text that don't even point to ISG as a faction?

It would be more realsitic for us to see UN peacekeepers than see "ISG" in stalker 2

you are literally basing your entire personality on a fake lie that you have told yourself over and over again

or really, since you meantioned anomalous dugouts video, I don't even know if you can convince yourself of the fact it exists, seeing as you immediately pointed at that video

[pseudo rivet]

If I were still a mod, I'd pin this historic moment of basedness

[silent crescent]

[narrow tartan]

I don't play Anomaly.

[narrow tartan]

Calm down dude, I'm just trying to have a conversation with people.

[prime spade]

you bring up the same subject every time, with the same lies every time, and then try to continually convince people that you are right

[narrow tartan]

Sure?

[prime spade]

....

[narrow tartan]

I just like the concept of ISG, ok?

[prime spade]

that's an understatement

[pseudo rivet]

Which is?

I mean, we know literally nothing about them

[prime spade]

the concept of ISG extends to a pre-alpha build

THE VERY IDEA IN THIS COMMUNITY, is based on a pre alpha build

[silent crescent]

I love killing Bandits 🙂

[narrow tartan]

Same

[prime spade]

but they have nothing

[narrow tartan]

And Freedom, I hate Freedom.

[prime spade]

as I said before, it is more likely to see UN peacekeepers in the zone, than see what you call ISG (we might see something similar, but not 'ISG')

[silent crescent]

Duty on top

[prime spade]

both of which I said, are unlikely anyways

[silent crescent]

they have nothing but it feels good to kill them

[prime spade]

UN peacekeepers would also be a pretty bad idea

[pseudo rivet]

Ngl dawgs, I like killing Dutyers and the Military

[silent crescent]

its the biggest satisfaction i can get out of Stalker

[silent crescent]

now i lost respect

[prime spade]

why do we have to pick sides? I love killing everyone

[pseudo rivet]

Dang, didn't know I am a Freedom-respecting Shaman?

[silent crescent]

actually you are right

Lets kill Mercs together 🙂

[narrow tartan]

Duty is the best faction in The Zone. They even forward artifacts to Ecologists.

[pseudo rivet]

Ayyy kill Mercs

[silent crescent]

and Monolith

[pseudo rivet]

Hah, if only you knew

[prime spade]

why tie yourself down with emotional bonds in the zone when you can kill and loot everyone. Equality in the zone is corrupt anyways, why not make your own version of it?

[narrow tartan]

Mercs are assholes. Tried taking the Rookie Village.

[pseudo rivet]

He's on his first step to becoming a Bandit

[narrow tartan]

Bro never made a friend in The Zone

[pseudo rivet]

No frens :(

[prime spade]

in the zone, friends are those things that you use as human meat shields when walking through the swamps

[silent crescent]

who needs friends when you can just kill Mercs by yourself?

[narrow tartan]

I can't tell either if you're joking or trying to be cool or edgy

[pseudo rivet]

Why join a Faction when you can just follow their ideals on your own, right?

[narrow tartan]

Isn't that Loners?

[silent crescent]

why join a Faction if you can be a faction for yourself?

[pseudo rivet]

Roleplaying to be cringe
