[hazy helm]

no

[bold sphinx]

Nah it happens all the time

Just beware it probably gona end up ugly

[ancient sleet]

IS THIS REAL??? Was there any official confirmation about this?

[latent flame]

Ah

[latent flame]

Alr.

I kinda just think that Clear Sky has the most reasonable Ideology tbh.

I think i saw this person before on yt. The one with the memes and the stream

[torpid totem]

guess ill have to buy the game twice, sadge

[latent flame]

Btw, Idk what the Renegades are or what makes them stand out from bandits.

From what i know theyre like, Bandits in the Swamp constantly clashing with Clear Sky

[carmine crest]

theyre bandits but worse

[broken latch]

It's just a cover up

[gaunt burrow]

this

[broken latch]

They are basically a sub faction that divided from bandits due to leadership issues and now is fighting clear sky in the swamps because they have no place anywhere else

[latent flame]

....oh. Well thats quite Underwhelming. I thought they'd be Bandits that somehow united

[solid dome]

Oh man, oh boy, oh boy... its 24.12.2023, for some, a holiday, for others, an ordinary day and what do we, stoked for STALKER 2 fans, get? A CALENDAR.....

[worthy lagoon]

[broken latch]

Why not

[torpid totem]

I explained why wym

[broken latch]

Didn't see it

[torpid totem]

starts here

its literally 7 msgs below xd

[latent flame]

Btw is it ok to talk about mods like Anomaly or Gunslinger?

[broken latch]

yeah

But if you have questions about it, check out their server

[mint fossil]

STALKER 2 is coming out 30th of February 2024

[sand fiber]

stalker 2 is gay confirmed!?

[torpid totem]

ye

[mint fossil]

STALKER 2 is only meant to be played with the real ones

[broken latch]

No, there will be women

[solid dome]

Wish I was in a cryosleep chamber not to endure the pain anymore

Very nasty thoughts going through my head these past couple days, boys

[latent flame]

Oh, alr. So i have this Issue when playing Call of Chernobyl, i was playing as Clear Sky and i recieved this quest of delivering a PDA to Nimble from Clear Sky base to Rookie Village, the Problem is that i cant seem to find a way to enter Cordon without fighting the Military, is there a way to Sneak By or an alternative route?

[mint fossil]

in STALKER 2 a lot of mentioned-only stuff is going to finally appear physically, like women and uhhhh foreign soldiers or whatever

[latent flame]

Its mostly a gameplay issue, not a bug.

[mint fossil]

near the railway in the great swamps theres a passage to the cordon if i'm not mistaken

[sand fiber]

women weren't mentioned-only they just weren't

[latent flame]

The one in the Upper Right corner?

[mint fossil]

mhm

[latent flame]

I think that could work, only thing id have to deal with is the Military or Renegade encampment and the Checkpoint in Cordon. Ill try soon.

[mint fossil]

no, i'm pretty sure in like CS or CoP a stalker tells us how him and his girlfriend was stop at the entrance at the zone by like some soldiers that weren't USSS

[gaunt burrow]

there is an alternative route yes

[latent flame]

Ill also have to go through that mill and car park which is filled with Bandits but eh, its better than having to go through a Minefield.

[mint fossil]

thats quite literally ISG/NATO/orthatotherforeignfactionthatwillappearinstalker and women

[latent flame]

Plus the Bandits and Military hate each other so thats a plus.

[mint fossil]

i forgot the name of the faction that has the NATO thingamajig on it's patch

[gaunt burrow]

@latent flame bypassing machinegunner (Vova Vist) isn't that hard

[latent flame]

Havent tried yet

[gaunt burrow]

run as soon as you'll enter the Cordon so Vist won't react in time

follow the fence

[latent flame]

Yeah, and i hope they wont call air support on a lone Clear sky member

[broken latch]

Lower the difficulty, on master difficulty it's impossible, only way to snipe the gunner without lower difficulty

[broken latch]

(which is impossible due to CS rng)

[gaunt burrow]

there's pinned message about machinegunner. better check it out @latent flame

[sand fiber]

yes but that doesn't count

[latent flame]

I watched a bunch of Bandits get Vaporised by an Attack heli 💀

[broken latch]

Only mentioning of women is in zombie voice lines and strelok himself

[mint fossil]

i wonder if there will be any important female characters

[mint fossil]

c'mon the daughter stuff doesn't count

[latent flame]

And i got chased by the same heli bc i got seen by a military guy

[mint fossil]

theres other mention of women too

[broken latch]

They say mom too

[mint fossil]

doesn't one of the artifacts also mention women too lmao?

[broken latch]

But the sightings, only one by strelok

[gaunt burrow]

Women called Leska is literally mentioned by Orest in Clear Sky

[mint fossil]

yeah the Scarlet Flower artifact

[sand fiber]

yes

[broken latch]

Red artifact forgot the name

[mint fossil]

yes

[latent flame]

I dont really think it would be Reasonable for Women to be in the Zone, unless theyre Crooks.

[ancient sleet]

Best place to build your base?

[gaunt burrow]

I think something like ecologist women would make sense

[broken latch]

A what

[gaunt burrow]

but i just can't see concept of woman stalker tbh

[mint fossil]

ecologist women make sense

[latent flame]

Reasonable

[mint fossil]

some women in the army, norma loners and etc... freedom too yea

[broken latch]

They do even harder stuff then regular stalkers

[sand fiber]

there was also a story in some desdoc about a stalker experiencing an anomaly/dreaming up a woman

[broken latch]

Loners women make more sense then ecologist women

[latent flame]

Tho it would be really risky on thier side

[mint fossil]

mhm

[sand fiber]

no not really

[mint fossil]

merc women, monolith women, duty women and bandit women would be a bit unusual

[broken latch]

It's 4pm, time to enter an anomaly

[broken latch]

Why?

[mint fossil]

well

[sand fiber]

bandit women are much more likely than loner women btw

[latent flame]

Bandits maybe bc theyre criminals, idk about the Mercs and Duty, Monolith, Maybe.

[mint fossil]

maybe

[broken latch]

Why

[mint fossil]

i mean i woudn't be surprised if those 1990s russian mafiamen brought their girlfriends alongside them to the zone

[latent flame]

I cant really say the reason why for the Bandits bc it would get me in trouble

[broken latch]

Do you even know how monolith recruits?

[latent flame]

Brainwashing?

[broken latch]

So why wouldn't it brainwash women?

[mint fossil]

Monolith women, it's possible, but i think it would be in lower quantities

[latent flame]

I dont know. Maybe Female Stalkers who are deemed capable enough.

[sand fiber]

bandits in the zone are criminals on the run, loners on the other hand just go to get rich/because they're depressed

[latent flame]

Thats why i said Maybe

[mint fossil]

i don't think it depends on how much the person is capable

[broken latch]

It will brainwash anything

[latent flame]

Ja

[mint fossil]

they just pick people they find off the ground and throw into either a hallway to get C-Con agent'd

[latent flame]

Oh.

[mint fossil]

or put them in a chair to get monolith'd

[broken latch]

Doesn't mean all members are the same

[gaunt burrow]

Except me. I'm built different

[sand fiber]

?

[latent flame]

I kinda saw in the game how the weak ones are killed off and the strong ones get taken in

[broken latch]

A better armed bandit isn't different

[mint fossil]

the C-Con doesn't care who they're throwing in the mono/agent grinder if they don't know the person, but i bet they did something to Lebedev

[latent flame]

I prob was lied to

[gaunt burrow]

Ouch

[latent flame]

But eh, ig so

[mint fossil]

i wonder what happened to Suslov

[latent flame]

Who's Suslov

[gaunt burrow]

I mean Lebedev was a former C-Con member. If we assume he survived that emission then I see no reason why C-Con wouldn't brainwash him

[latent flame]

I havent Played CS yet

[mint fossil]

the Clear Sky trader whom is one of it's three members that is a former The Group scientist

[gaunt burrow]

Also Lebedev would be way more valuable to them than most

[mint fossil]

i think Lebedev was just The Group, not involved with the C-Con itself

yeah Suslov and Beanpolev survived and went their paths, they were only able to catch Lebedev himself

i actually really like one theory that says that the Mercenaries with a capital M are hired by The Group

[broken latch]

Not c con but ex scientist before the zone

[latent flame]

I just really liked the faction for thier belief

[mint fossil]

the C-Con is a small group of volunteer scientists within a greater group of scientists studying the noosphere, The Group

The Group i'm pretty certain is on International Levels

this is why they'd hire mercs to be sent to the zone, since they lost contact to all of their zone field researchers & other scientists after 2006

so they just hire the mercs to go the zone and try to retrieve anything related to them

[latent flame]

Im kinda baffled too on how the Military just uses choppers in fairway. Why not Artillery? If the Zone is small enough for thier guns to reach CNPP that is.

[mint fossil]

Strelok and Scar had pretty different experiences with mercs ngl, in shadow of chernobyl Marked One/Strelok met up just asshole mercs with asshole groups like Wolfhound and Ara

[broken latch]

no

[mint fossil]

but Scar met decent and cool mercs like Hog and Leshy

[gaunt burrow]

Scar himself is a merc tho

[mint fossil]

damn there goes my argument

[gaunt burrow]

Its logical that he would have other mercs as his friends

[mint fossil]

he also fought other mercenaries though, like if we decide to help freedom

[gaunt burrow]

Not all mercs tho yeah

[mint fossil]

mhm, he meet way nicer mercs than strelok did

[gaunt burrow]

True I guess

[mint fossil]

Strelok would've had it worse if a lot of the other merc leaders didn't get cut

like Dushman, Tyran and others

[latent flame]

Oh wait nvm. Discovered the Zone is like, 60 km large

[mint fossil]

i mean, you can bring in artillery

[gaunt burrow]

Trilogy only covers south part of the Zone

[mint fossil]

but a sky anomaly or anything else can just swallow it

[gaunt burrow]

Not the WHOLE Zone

[latent flame]

Makes sense.

[mint fossil]

true, the Polesie is like even larger than the Ukrainian side

[latent flame]

Land vehicles wouldnt work too, and it would be more dangerous

[mint fossil]

i mean, they could work, the military constantly uses them

but you gotta be a skillful drive to not just... swirl into a vortex and send your whole crew to the orthodox cross convention

[gaunt burrow]

Military doesn't know the Zone as well as Stalkers do so it's not surprising that most of their operations fail

Also many high ranking Duty members (in Clear Sky at least) were ex Military. Krylov, Kolobok and others

[latent flame]

Maybe 65km? 70? If i include the 2 emissions.

[nimble cipher]

paxmanculdeerailways has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gaunt burrow]

Wolf as always

[broken latch]

They work

[mint fossil]

can't swear boowomp boowomp

[gaunt burrow]

Warns ppl at the worst moment

[latent flame]

Its terrifying on how every emission, the Zone grows by 5 km of smth

[broken latch]

That is a myth

[mint fossil]

i think tanks could kinda work in the zone

[latent flame]

Idk.

[mint fossil]

but taking into consideration it's goofy anomalous terrain, how would you even get it unstuck if it feel like into an anomaly field

[broken latch]

No you've mistaken it for granted wish making the zone bigger which is a myth

[sand fiber]

first and second raid participants thought so too

[latent flame]

If a well coordinated map and if they work fast enough before an Emission..

[latent flame]

So the Zone was always 60 km large?

[mint fossil]

i wonder how the Yantar lab will look like in STALKER 2

[sand fiber]

and that's why there are broken tanks everywhere in the zone

[broken latch]

We don't know the exact size

[latent flame]

I really wanna look forward to the Animations

[mint fossil]

wonder if we walk into it and see like some rotten brain all dehydrated laying aside

[mint fossil]

i liked the facial rigging, it's pretty good on the trailers

[latent flame]

Like eating, drinking, or Smoking

[gaunt burrow]

If it was the case then Zone would be big af in CoP, but doubt it is the case since no one talks about that

[mint fossil]

i also analyzed the trailer for the goofiest reasons, like counting all the militards that show up, dead or alive

[latent flame]

Prob be concerning enough for other countries to pay attention to it

[broken latch]

Which is why Mercs exist

[mint fossil]

the Berill-5m shows up pretty often and i guess now the ukrainian army figured out by looking through shadow of chernobyl's unused content that their uniforms have hoods

[latent flame]

Mm, maybe we could just settle on it being really big.

[gaunt burrow]

Fair

[latent flame]

I thought they were hired by Private clients, not countries?

[mint fossil]

so far from what i have seen the state security regulars were more simple uniforms with just their hoods pulled up

to me, Mercenaries are hired by The Group, Private Clients, People within the zone

[latent flame]

Mine was Private clients.

[mint fossil]

i doubt countries would like to put their own mercenaries related to the other Mercs that are in game

[broken latch]

Everyone

[mint fossil]

y'know, the same kind of people that hanged Lingov and also did other crimes within in the zone that would result in the death penalty and a formal execution with a lethal injection of 9x19mm to the head

i doubt countries would dress up their mercs in blue

anyways i wonder if knocking out people will be a thing, like walk up to bro and idfk bash a frying pan against his head and take his stuff whilst not killing him

[sand fiber]

ehhh wouldn't make much sense gameplay-wise

[mint fossil]

depends if it's like a stealth mission or we are like supposed to kidnap someone i dunno

[sand fiber]

oh god i hope they don't reintroduce stealth

[fiery berry]

You mean 9X18?

[finite dragon]

are you kidding me

[mint fossil]

i bet it will be maybe like a sniper mission or two

[gaunt burrow]

Why knocking people out when you can just kill them?

[mint fossil]

9x19mm was also a thing

[finite dragon]

there better be stealth mechanics at least in terms of getting detected

[mint fossil]

y'know the funny ammo for the Viper

[sand fiber]

no.

[finite dragon]

I mean stalker technically has them it, its just broken..

[mint fossil]

i wonder if it was a developer goof up that they gave the STALKER 2 controller normal hands, or if they truly redesigned him like that

[gaunt burrow]

Stealth IS possible but most just aren't careful enough

[sand fiber]

stealth is rudimentary, there are only 2.5 games that do it right

[gaunt burrow]

https://youtu.be/oyiYbvS3YXY?si=BrTACk75PesIDcmh

I recommend you guys to check this video

[mint fossil]

tbh they should add back the civilian/USSE victim zombies

they would work in certain enviroments or certain situations as an annoyance, and then just have them sometimes naturally just walk around the zone

although i'm unsure if the cut zombies that had the chernobyl zone patch had anything to do with the USSE

[sand fiber]

honestly they should just do Oblivion Lost instead of S2

stalker is a failed franchise anyway

[mint fossil]

i've imagined before Oblivion Lost with like STALKER 2 graphics

[gaunt burrow]

[mint fossil]

just a buff dude with a Berill-5M, biker helmet and like M113 minigun

[gaunt burrow]

Your opinion is even worse than opinion of people who think Renegades are a good faction, Nozar

[mint fossil]

i bet if there was an Oblivion Lost movie, Dwayne The Rock Johnson would appear in it

[sand fiber]

i have literally the best opinions and tastes across media

[mint fossil]

people said 👎 to trenchcoat controller, i'll now keep myself safe

[gaunt burrow]

[mint fossil]

trenchcoat controller looks good, can't change my mind

[gaunt burrow]

Controller wearing trenchcoat isn't really necessary but I'm curious what controller would look like in a trenchcoat tbh

[mint fossil]

it's a thing in some mods, it's pretty interesting

i also wonder what Izlom in a trenchcoat would look like

i bet the Izlom will return in STALKER 2 and with it's full planned mechanics

[sand fiber]

humanoid mutants hiding under stalker clothes literally were in S:OL don't let anyone shut you down

[broken latch]

nuhuh

[sand fiber]

huhuh yes i do

[mint fossil]

the Burer wears a trenchcoat, what stops a Izlom fro-

oh right their lanky arms, they can't fit through it lmao

but a controller can put them properly, sure they'll look like a weeb with a fedora

but still

anyways imma post in en_offtop trenchcoat controller

sentient humanoid mutants in STALKER 2 should have crippling alcohol and smoking addiction

y'know, walk around the corner see a Burer with a Belomorkanal cigarette in one hand and Smirnoff bottle on the other

[fossil oriole]

Hi i just wanted to say that i finaly i got a stalker clear sky and call of pripiat at ones for chistmas

It is very important thing for me and I want to know what you think about it

[broken latch]

Did you get shadow of Chernobyl?

[fossil oriole]

I got it in may

For my birthday

[mint fossil]

i had a version of Shadow of Chernobyl with the Non-Stop

[fossil oriole]

Nice

[gaunt burrow]

I advice you not to rush the main story

[fossil oriole]

If you say so

[gaunt burrow]

Take your time to read dialogue of NPCs, explore the word etc

[fossil oriole]

Ok i will do this this way

[gaunt burrow]

Don't be in hurry

[mint fossil]

i used to have a version of STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl with robots

[fossil oriole]

Im never in hurry

[mint fossil]

i'm just fooling, it's just build 1098...

[gaunt burrow]

Nice

[mint fossil]

build 2205 was cancerous when i played it, Garbage was truly just Crashland

[fossil oriole]

So... ima headout merry christmas

[mint fossil]

the terrain from the Cordon in build 2205 feels like the world war one western front, thing is more uneven and full of holes than countryside roads

[gaunt burrow]

Merry Christmas to you too

[fossil oriole]

Thx :))

[gaunt burrow]

@mint fossil you seem to know modes pretty well. Any good mode you could recommend me?

[mint fossil]

what

you mean mods?

[gaunt burrow]

I'm gonna be honest, I have 0 knowledge in Stalker modes

Good job auto correct

[sand fiber]

OLR 2.5

[mint fossil]

well theres stuff like Oblivion Lost Remake 2.5 and it's western cousin Vector of Alienation

[gaunt burrow]

Sorry about that lol

[mint fossil]

theres also Goldsphere Completion which feels like someone crushed the Goldsphere into fine powder and snorted it

[bold sphinx]

Try anomaly best mod for the first timer

[mint fossil]

don't

[bold sphinx]

Lol

[mint fossil]

anyways, theres also mods that fix the game or change it slightly

like those winter mods, the autumn aurora and clear sky reclamation project

[bold sphinx]

Try it atleast @gaunt burrow

[mint fossil]

which actually makes clear sky playable

[sand fiber]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/561139727638593566/1089314658109894788/anomaly.gif

[gaunt burrow]

I might give Anomaly a shot out of curiosity

[bold sphinx]

It’s not for everyone but it’s one of the most popular so try it and a lot of popular mods are just expansions of it

[mint fossil]

playing vanilla anomaly is like bitting into a raw egg, what you need to do with that egg is to add to turn into an omelette aka, download a thousand addons to anomaly to actually make it barable

[bold sphinx]

Nah

[sand fiber]

i imagine playing vanilla anomaly at this point is like playing vanilla coc

[bold sphinx]

But also try gamma

[mint fossil]

it will give you radiation poisoning

[bold sphinx]

Honestly @gaunt burrow just play whatever you think looks the best

[mint fossil]

anyways has anyone else noticed in STALKER 2 that basically suits and other outfits will all have randomized stuff like pouches and etc... ?

like, per example

[sand fiber]

cringe

[mint fossil]

in the Come to me Trailer and the Strider Trailer, Strider and some other monolithian share the same suit however with different ammo pouches

[bold sphinx]

The word cringe is cringe

[sand fiber]

a bit

[mint fossil]

in the Come to me Trailer two other monolithians also share the same suit too but one is cropped out of the scene and has like pistol pouches in his vest

[bold sphinx]

Gtg see ya guys

[broken latch]

Bandits literally have randomised teeth

[gaunt burrow]

Cya bro

[mint fossil]

dude, everyone has randomized teeth except like unique characters

but bro, they're ALL universally horrid and yellow

[gaunt burrow]

It would make sense if everyone in the Zone would have very yellow teeths tbh

Since logically hygiene in the Zone would either be very bad or non existent even

[mint fossil]

for a good while i thought Strider was missing a tooth, but when i analysized better the trailer i realized it was just really crooked

the "good hunting, stalker" loner we meet in the first gameplay trailer has some uhhh... gums that shoudn't be appreciated by no one but horse owners

[sand fiber]

oh god i just realised, medics in zone probably subject stalkers to medieval tortures when it comes to dentistry

[gaunt burrow]

I would actually be dissapointed if anyone in S2 will have perfect white teeths

[mint fossil]

pretty sure the STALKER 2 burer has better teeth than the "good hunting, stalker" guy

[gaunt burrow]

Because that would make 0 sense considering what kind of place Zone is

[gaunt burrow]

💀

[mint fossil]

not even Zelensky has good teeth

pretty sure out of all characters in the trailers so far, his teeth are the most yellow, they look like corn

[gaunt burrow]

Man not gonna lie, whenever I think about hygiene in the Zone I want to puke

[mint fossil]

shitting in the bushes is official business

[gaunt burrow]

Imagine dudes who eat MREs regularly, sweat, don't bath, don't brush teeth etc etc

[broken latch]

Golden like pirates

[gaunt burrow]

Smell in the Zone gotta be terrible

[mint fossil]

the outhouses in STALKER are always not dug in, so just imagine the smell

[sand fiber]

"good hunting stalker guy🪱 " you mean griga?

[mint fossil]

oh yeah who else noticed the static corpses?

the heads on stakes are coming back, thats pretty obvious

but they added a new chump to the "corp.object" gang

i found a charred corpse if i'm not mistaken in the Bolts and Bullets trailer

looked pretty realistic

[broken latch]

He meant sid

[finite dragon]

These calendars are sweet

[mint fossil]

no, the guy that puts his hand on Skif's shoulder and go

"good hunting, stalker"

y'know, in the campfire trailer

[sand fiber]

yes that's grigorovich

[gaunt burrow]

Ye

[mint fossil]

that guy is shaped after the CEO?

must be that pepsi addiction of his.....

[solid dome]

@glossy blade If I tell you my life ends in the first few days of January, will you fulfill my wish to see STALKER 2 in action with no editing on top a dream come true?

[gaunt burrow]

Ayo

[sand fiber]

yup, i think he also appeared in the leaked build 2137

[mint fossil]

🫎 i didn't really pay attention to the leaked builds, just to the concept art and models

[sand fiber]

[mint fossil]

this is how i found out that the insert Evgeniy Grygorovych and Sergiy Grygorovych commiting murder SFX

[sand fiber]

evgeniy would turn you into an nft before killing you i think

[mint fossil]

people who don't risk, don't see god, so i'll tell you what i saw

i saw the concept art of a mutant that resembled the Izlom, thats all i have to say

[finite dragon]

Santa was just at Odessa

[gaunt burrow]

Izlom is cut mutant that is long and looks humanoid right? @mint fossil

Looks like*

[mint fossil]

Did Moroz moment

[mint fossil]

yeah it's the lanky guy that is like 2 meters tall, left arm is long and crooked

USSE victim lab coat, jeans pants and really long neck

once again people who don't risk, don't see god

it's literally the same mutations on the concept art i saw, tall hunched over man with a long extremely crooked left arm with an extremely mutated hand

however in the concept art this cousin of the Izlom looks like a homeless chechen, no shirt, ripped jeans pants, long white beard and a bald head

[gaunt burrow]

Ahaa

Do you know what another cut mutant is called?

The one that looks like mutant cat

Forgot its name

[mint fossil]

bayun cat

[gaunt burrow]

Aha thank you

[mint fossil]

it was also a cut mutant from ShoC, only appeared on vanilla as a SFX at Agroprom and as a taxdermy statue

it was brought back because it was international cat day or something like that

let's hope long left arm day is in January

[finite dragon]

[mossy shard]

Any word about the PC Ultimate Physical Edition?

[balmy hound]

Nothing new recently. The best source for info is www.stalker2.com about that.

[mossy shard]

Yeah, there's been nothing for a while. Just thought I'd check here

[hidden stratus]

You looking for anything specific? The lamp specifically for example? We are getting close to release so at this rate it looks like some people are just going to need to get ready for those ebay offers

[mossy shard]

I mean, everything in the Ultimate looks great. Especially the lamp and figure.

People will probably sell the lamp alone for close to $300. Sounds nuts, but they will for people whose countries might not get it

[spare trail]

How to install ZRP?

Shall i drag and drop its files?

[finite dragon]

Merry christmas!

[hidden stratus]

I highly doubt it, on average statues and items like that don't go that high even for bigger titles than stalker. It will probably end up at around $100-150 depending on the size

Could always just get replicas as well

[mossy shard]

$150 + $100 international shipping 💀

[balmy hound]

Merry merry merry Christmas !

[hidden stratus]

Don't overthink it, Stalker is a good game but not big like GOW, I was recently was looking for the hammer from the collectors edition and it is about 100 on ebay.

But yes depending on location you might be taking a big hit to your wallet when it comes to shipping

[gaunt burrow]

[bold sphinx]

[gaunt burrow]

[granite coral]

Hey guys

5 days left to the new announcement

[fast stratus]

Merry Christmas

[covert wolf]

the physical version of stalker will have global keys?

cause I want to buy one but I need to do it from German shop instead of polish and I was wondering

[bold sphinx]

Let’s go

[granite coral]

💯

[broken latch]

Yes, but restricted for Russia I believe

[bold sphinx]

They can still pirate it right

[broken latch]

@glossy blade what's the extended campfire content on s2 site preorders

[finite dragon]

u think so

[finite dragon]

some stalkers talking about their lifestory and lores

[granite coral]

Yup

[covert wolf]

thx

[loud gate]

How is everyone today?

[worn oar]

Sleeping till 3pm 🥹

What else to do other than that

[glossy blade]

stories, stuff like that

[broken latch]

Mmmm

I hope standard edition will have campfire jokes

[pallid minnow]

Could we meet strelok after finishing living legend ?

[leaden ice]

I hope we will get some news this year

[broken latch]

Anomaly mod?

[pallid minnow]

Yes

[vernal magnet]

Merry Christmas King

[solid dome]

After years of work
Anomaly players learned
STALKER 2 will not be ANOMALY 2!
Alone and lost, they will start
losing their minds
Ultimately, killing each other in
a Escape From Tarkov match
Nobody will bury them

[leaden ice]

Monolith

[hazy helm]

This is my last mod abuse of the year

[granite coral]

Source: my butt

[vernal magnet]

I dont want to live in a world where Vasim cant post a cat meme

[normal bobcat]

What does STOC stand for?

[hazy helm]

Stalker Official Community

[normal bobcat]

Ah

[solid dome]

Ukrainians celebrate Xmas today I heard, so why nothing yet?

MOLIT YOU BREAK MY HEART, YOU BAD BOY

[granite coral]

They wanted to surprise us

I want the days to pass quickly

💯

[latent flame]

Day 4 since ive begun downloading Stalker Gamma

So real

[solid dome]

You downloading a gay mod

[granite coral]

Play the trilogy

[bold sphinx]

It’s good isn’t it, don’t listen to the haters they are just bad at the game

[latent flame]

Havent finished downloading yet.

[latent flame]

I play what i want to.

[hazy helm]

4 days and it hasnt yet finished downloading hehe

[latent flame]

My wifi router isnt built for downloads of this magnitude.

[bold sphinx]

Lol

Gamma is a good mod hard but good

[bold sphinx]

Well there isn’t much left to this year anyway

But you mod abuse is funny mod abuse so keep on going

[broken latch]

[bold sphinx]

👍

👉👈

[gaunt burrow]

💀

[bold sphinx]

[bold sphinx]

How did your Christmas go?

[gaunt burrow]

pretty well, your?

[bold sphinx]

Same played some Italian games with my 5 million cousins and aunts

[bold sphinx]

You ate some good Georgian food?

[gaunt burrow]

I ate some lobiani and khachapuri and some salads

[bold sphinx]

Nice

[gaunt burrow]

same as usual

wbu?

[bold sphinx]

The usual here just panettone and lasagna

[bold sphinx]

You guys got any Christmas traditions in Georgia

[latent flame]

I just love the vibes. Its hard but every achievement feels good

[bold sphinx]

Yeah

[latent flame]

Its not hard to the point it slowly makes you want to stop playing, Its hard bc your character isnt some guy with extra ordinary buffs or special stuff, he'll be just as squishy as anyone. Plus, if it'll take away the fun aspect of a challenge if it gets too easy.

[bold sphinx]

Yeah it is like that and it’s why I love it

[latent flame]

And the gunplay too

[bold sphinx]

Gunplay is peak in gamma

Artifact hunting though is anoying

[latent flame]

Unline what ive experienced in Fallout NV and its mods, where a half naked man with an SMG can resist a 12 gauge to the chest point blank or a 357. Magnum 2 shotting you even if you wear this steel clad exosuit.

[bold sphinx]

Yeah it’s very realistic

[latent flame]

The exoskeleton exists but it doesnt make you invisible from small arms fire, i can still die to sustained AK fire from bandits even if i wear it with multiple armor artifacts.

[bold sphinx]

Yeah

But the absolute worst is the artifact hunting and durability

[latent flame]

I only wore it in SoC bc of the repair kit mod, but in CoP it costs me half of my savings everytime i go out.

[latent flame]

Yeah its kind of stale if you do it long enough.

[latent flame]

Mfw i have to spend 20k on repairing my Exoskeleton on 90% durability after getting in a prolonged gunfight with bandits:

[hazy helm]

These guys never heard of NLC7

[latent flame]

The CS-3a armor in CoP is so good, wore it till the evac

[gaunt burrow]

sorry I saw your question a bit late. Important Christmas tradition is "Alilo", basically a joyful and colorful parade which marches across almost every town. Participants carry icons, Georgian flags and crosses while singing Christmas carols. Priests bless the crowd with the holy water, and some people wear Bible related costumes.

[fast stratus]

I AM the zone

[bold sphinx]

It’s ok and that sounds so awesome

[gaunt burrow]

it's pretty cool yeah

[bold sphinx]

In Australia it’s just going to the beach for the day

[fast stratus]

Well hey how you guys been doing lately

[latent flame]

In the Philippines its going to the church

[bold sphinx]

Lol

[gaunt burrow]

All good, thanks for asking. You?

[fast stratus]

Well I was so sad. But that's nice to hear you guys are good6

[latent flame]

It along with the compass, Moonlight, and the Screen helmet has protected me from Controllers trying to make me blow my head off.

[fast stratus]

Not really

[bold sphinx]

What’s wrong mate?

[latent flame]

The protection isnt permanent but it gives you enough time to flee and shoot

[gaunt burrow]

Not many people use it in CoP

[fast stratus]

My friends don't get online and I miss them

[gaunt burrow]

But to each his own I guess

[latent flame]

Agreed

[bold sphinx]

We will be you friends👍

[latent flame]

Ja

[latent flame]

Why tho?

[gaunt burrow]

I use SEVA and then exo, after unlocking sprinting ability for it

[latent flame]

SEVA?

[bold sphinx]

Same

[latent flame]

I dont really use the SEVA suit that much, even in the Jupiter Underground.

[gaunt burrow]

People like armors like SEVA, exoskeleton and such more

[bold sphinx]

Yea

[fast stratus]

Ohhh. Thanks for being kind. Usually people don't like me

[bold sphinx]

Nah don’t worry about

[latent flame]

I use that military helmet with Night vision that can go up to 3rd generation with the chem upgrade, compass, and a meat chunk.

Gives me better protection that the suit.

[fast stratus]

I'm reading Roadside picnic lately

[bold sphinx]

Oh nice how’s it going

[gaunt burrow]

We aren't those people no worries

[bold sphinx]

Everyone is my mate

[latent flame]

Nah we're chill

[bold sphinx]

Gota look out for other stalkers

[gaunt burrow]

Sphere M12?

[bold sphinx]

Night vision just turn up the gamma level lol

[gaunt burrow]

Been a while since I played CoP. My memory could use a refreshment

[bold sphinx]

Yeah same here

[latent flame]

Ig so

[latent flame]

I want the extra pain

[gaunt burrow]

Night vision helped me a lot

[latent flame]

Going through jupiter underground and cryying for the 20th time bc my teammates wont stop charging head first into the Snork horde

[gaunt burrow]

Still does actually. Can't imagine roaming around the darkness in CS without night vision

[bold sphinx]

Yeah it is pretty useful but I don’t need it that much anymore

[gaunt burrow]

I can use flashlight but nights are still dark af

[gaunt burrow]

Relatable

That part is (or rathet was) hardest part for me in the Stalker trilogy

[latent flame]

You know whats more painful imo? The military in the evac mission

[gaunt burrow]

I could solo Jupiter Underground but not only you gotta kill mutants and Monolithians but also babysit your teammates

[latent flame]

The soldiers spread out, they get left behind,they rarely take cover, and somtimes they charge in head first and die to monolith snipers

[bold sphinx]

For some reason I never rly had trouble going through

[fast stratus]

Thank you

[fast stratus]

I'm at page 30

[gaunt burrow]

Military evacuation weirdly wasn't that hard for me

[latent flame]

Mine was a nightmare

[bold sphinx]

Nice when I read it I took it real slow

[bold sphinx]

Nah that was so easy

[fast stratus]

I love book and I'm inspired by these books to write my own

[latent flame]

Mfw Strelok takes cover at the bus thats on the opposite direction where the monolith fighters were:

[gaunt burrow]

@latent flame I highly recommend you to use Eliminator shotgun in Jupiter Underground

[bold sphinx]

I have read a lot of the brothers work

[gaunt burrow]

It helped me a lot and is pretty OP

[bold sphinx]

Yea I used it too

[latent flame]

Naw i use the shotgun that trapper gave me, i use Gunslinger

And Strelok's SIG 5k against monolith

[gaunt burrow]

Streloks SGI is pretty OP

That gun and Eliminator are my favorites in CoP

[latent flame]

I lowered the fire rate to preserve ammo during pripyat

[fast stratus]

I'm going to read too. Damn I miss my friend

[hazy helm]

Teammates surviving is entirely optional

They can get killed and you can continue

You are not forced to

[gaunt burrow]

I know, but I always went for the perfect ending

Can't imagine finishing CoP with bad slides of Vano, Strider, Zulu and Sokolov

[bold sphinx]

Gtg see ya guys

[gaunt burrow]

Cya bro

[bold sphinx]

Stay safe broski cya

[gaunt burrow]

You too

Oh by the way guys

Vano is also Georgian like me

First time I saw him in CoP I was pleasantly surprised

Also Ashot (Freedom trader in Clear Sky) is most likely Armenian, judging by his name and accent. Would be cool to see more stalkers from other countries in the second stalker

[latent flame]

The people i kinda feel bad about the most is Vano and Strider ngl. Vano bc his cheery attitude is kind of rare in te Zone. And Strider for being an Ex Monolithian.

[gaunt burrow]

Striders situation could've been even worse

Its good that Degtyarev found Strider and his comrades instead of some other hostile stalker(s)

That could've resulted in a bloodbath

[latent flame]

Fair, Monolith wasnt even seen as people, maybe lower than that.

[gaunt burrow]

Ye, Monolithians aren't loved in the Zone

[latent flame]

Kinda thinking of making a short backstory of my dude in Gamma.

Random clear sky rookie that was somehow in the great swamps after Clear Sky, then stayed in the village for a few years before going "F*ck it, im going out there."

[gaunt burrow]

I like the idea

[latent flame]

Ye, i also noticed how Ai is advanced enough to have conversations with, wouldnt it be interesting if you can chat with the NPCs and have them respond using AI?

[sand fiber]

no it wouldn't

[latent flame]

It might increase immersion by being able to talk to them but might break it if theyre slow tho

[latent flame]

Oh, my bad.

[sand fiber]

yes

[latent flame]

What

[gaunt burrow]

I dunno anything about mods but imo NPCs dialogues are already fine in vanilla

Their dialogues have its own special charm I suppose

[latent flame]

Maybe, it could work in other games if possible, tho it would be complicated.

Mmm

[digital lynx]

Anybody got news about the release of the game ???

Ive seen some of you said GSC will release a new trailer or something

[granite coral]

I'm expecting a new announcement on 30th December but we'll see

[gaunt burrow]

15.02.2024

[granite coral]

I hope so 🙂

[fresh zephyr]

how do you get past the machine gunner in cs?

[gaunt burrow]

Check pinned messages

You might find pinned message about Cordon machinegunner very useful

[fiery berry]

Merry Christmas!

[gaunt burrow]

Merry Christmas to you too

[granite coral]

There is a way to get past that machine gunner in Cordon

[fiery berry]

Why this date? Have you heard something?

[granite coral]

The Strider trailer has been posted on 30th November

It looks like GSC will follow this announcement schedule

But it is only a prediction

[fiery berry]

Awesome! Now I have something to look forward to. This is my first STALKER game and I’ve been waiting for it ever since the E3 trailer in ‘21

[granite coral]

We have been waiting for 15 years

[latent flame]

Cant wait to get the true stalker experience by having my pc turn into a grenade when i download Stalker 2 too

[hazy helm]

True Stalker

[fresh zephyr]

i understand why clear sky is hated

i havent played CoP is the shooting wonky there as well?

[gaunt burrow]

Most hate it because its not a newbie friendly game

[hazy helm]

Not enuff time grinding cordon

[gaunt burrow]

For people who play it for the first time Swamps and Cordon machinegunner can be very hard, but after Cordon game becomes easier

At least it was the case for me, in my very first playthrough

[hazy helm]

I mean all stalker games are easy so

[gaunt burrow]

True

[fresh zephyr]

im helping stalkers fight the military in Cordon and my bullets are going everywhere

[gaunt burrow]

What weapons are you using?

[hazy helm]

Upgrading your gear and getting closer helps

[fresh zephyr]

idk if its just the stalker effect bc when i first play SoC it seemed like that too but now im used to it and have no problem with it

[digital lynx]

https://youtube.com/shorts/HkmK7nvOTqk?si=-dquxJn_Fw7O9PpU

Dumbest person i've seen on the internet today

[stark steppe]

Until you mod it

[fresh zephyr]

small ak

[latent flame]

Someone mail a controller to his doorstep.

[digital lynx]

He said in the description "S2 feels like a scam" and he compared it to Crysis

[digital lynx]

Lmfao

[hazy helm]

CS made almost every weapon more innacurate to force you I to closer conflicts and to highlight the upgrade system
But in all stalker games the later weapons are always better and more accurate

[digital lynx]

[gaunt burrow]

I recommend you to upgrade weapons and armor

[hazy helm]

It's not psychological just a numbers thing

[fresh zephyr]

imma let them die then xD

[latent flame]

Master mode may work

[hazy helm]

You don't have to win EVERY engagement in faction Wars

It just helps

[latent flame]

In SoC it made the weapons accurate, somehow

[fresh zephyr]

understandable that they didnt want to make the game point and click sniping but the enemies arent innacurate at longer ranges

[hazy helm]

To do

[gaunt burrow]

You can try and raid the military outpost and pick up AK or Obokan, but it might be challenging for you if you play for the first time @fresh zephyr

[fresh zephyr]

in SoC ez , but in CS im not so sure xD

[hazy helm]

Faction Wars is optional btw
It's just,VERY profitable

[gaunt burrow]

Give it a shot. Make a save just in case and once you get AK or Obokan from a dead soldier things should become easier

Military outpost is a good place since you can get tons of AKs, Obokans, ammo for them and other resources

I loot all soldiers, then put everything in inventory of 1 dead soldier and drag the body in Sidorovichs bunker to sell everything

It should be around 10k rubles per raid (if you collected everything)

Another thing is that even if you kill all the soldiers in the outpost other soldiers will come so their numbers will never end

[latent flame]

Infinite money

[gaunt burrow]

Pretty much

Hi Mozi

[loud gate]

Hello

You guys realize that we're probably just 1-4 days away from a new trailer and release date

Right, @glossy blade ?

[gaunt burrow]

[remote crow]

[loud gate]

15.2.2024

[gaunt burrow]

[loud gate]

Imagine the Release Date is 29.02.2024

That would be super cool

[gaunt burrow]

I still prefer 15.02.2024 tbh

[loud gate]

My prediction when I saw Q1 was always 14th February

[gaunt burrow]

[loud gate]

You know, Valentine's day. HEART of Chornobyl

[gaunt burrow]

Mozi what do you think about your emoji btw?

[loud gate]

I love it

[gaunt burrow]

Me too

Korshunov emoji is also one of my favorites tbh

Goes hard af

[loud gate]

I wonder when we will have the Ward role in this server

I think at release, alongside all the other factions.

[gaunt burrow]

I guess in the same day we'll have smiling Skif emoji

[bold sphinx]

That day will be amazing

[gaunt burrow]

Aye

[bold sphinx]

Sure will be

[fathom trench]

COME TO ME
AFTER YEARS OF DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE 🎄
A GROUP OF GSC DEVELOPERS MANAGED TO RELEASE.....

YOU CANNOT KILL SANTA

I AM FESTIVE
BUT IT IS YOU WHO ATE ALL THE KUTYA

[half bone]

The only reason im at their discord server is to post mods

[latent flame]

I dont see anything wrong with it, its just a mod.

Does it have some kind of bad reputation?

[grave hearth]

its just stalker discord members coping because youtubers picked a mod over the actual trilogy and made them popular as a result

[latent flame]

Eh, Quite odd.

The trilogy is still cool, im just downloading mods to get new content and not get bored of it.

[half bone]

The game was better before these modpacks starter to appear

[grave hearth]

which is normal in 99% of game communities but i think this server is an exception

[half bone]

Call me a gatekeeper I don't care

[grave hearth]

bro you crying about mod packs making the game worse is literally a you problem. Just don't download the mod GSC doesn't shove gamma down your throat. Neither do the guys who play it (usually)

[half bone]

Gamma is a just a western mod with the worst dialog system and doesn't make any sense plus with fake Eastern atmosphere to calm down the purists.

Imagine installing 500 mods and expecting the game to be better without crashes

[grave hearth]

Gamma is a Anomaly offshoot. it being western doesn't make it better or worse. It's literally a bigger feat when it comes to mod making than the vast majority of mods out there.

[hazy helm]

Modpacks were a thing even back then man

[latent flame]

I dont really see any problems with adding stuff to continue having fun at Stalker or to make it looks prettier, it wont damage anything at all other than change it. In my 2nd playthrough on SoC i didnt mind adding a few tweaks in the game like better textures and items.

[grave hearth]

gamma rlly is just personal preference because some people prefer anomaly or just free play modes in general. That's all

[latent flame]

True.

[hazy helm]

I mean anomaly ain't stalker it's just anomaly
But I do like mods

a live fake gun profile picture guy reaction

[silver pagoda]

You have to look at the pfp you have at some point my brother in christ and understand ''I am a cringe teenager who thinks he is a hard man holding a fake plastic AK"

[grave hearth]

bro the gun is just some old decomissioned PPS-43 you look way too much into a satirical pfp

[silver pagoda]

Old and decomissioned aka plastic from the store, get your bb gun outta here my boy

[latent flame]

My pfp is a random bottle of cetaphil that i took in the attic

[silver pagoda]

your pfp is badass bro

[grave hearth]

it doesn't shoot anything because the magazine and bolt doesn't work anymore

[silver pagoda]

so its a fake gun and you are a poser

Yes! He's the father of the Monolith faction. He mated with a rock and gave birth to countless braindamaged stalkers

[silver pagoda]

oh monolith the snow camo guys yes, i saw nikolai video about this very funny video yes

so he is leader of monolith?

[half bone]

Some mods are good but most mods for abobali suck

90% of them are spaghetti code mods that don't even work properly

And somehow they are deemed as gods

[hazy helm]

I love my nonsensical mods like Nature Winter 2.3

It's schizoid love

[silver pagoda]

vasim are you moderator?

[grave hearth]

[hazy helm]

Yes

[half bone]

[hazy helm]

[worn oar]

He's like the dad who forgot to bring the milk

[hazy helm]

Monolith Leader is this guy called Mozi,they're the gay faction see

[silver pagoda]

[silver pagoda]

[loud gate]

[hazy helm]

I only say truth

[worn oar]

I'm speaking the truth man! Why would you think I'm trolling.

[silver pagoda]

is gamma an MMO?

[hazy helm]

Yes

[silver pagoda]

ok nice, can i trade with other players?

[worn oar]

It's an open world survival and VR sometimes

[hazy helm]

Yes

[silver pagoda]

ok cool i go download STALCRAFT

[hazy helm]

Stalcraft is single player man

[silver pagoda]

my friend says Strelok is main hero of METRO games, why are there references about him in this community?

is it shared universe or smth?

[loud gate]

[hazy helm]

Yhea our Main Character is called Artyom IG

[silver pagoda]

i mean i know METRO takes place in the metros of ukraine but is it like after stalker events?

[half bone]

radiobobia 3 got updated?

[hazy helm]

It's a prequel

[silver pagoda]

i see ok ok

i remember when in first metro where you start as strelok in Moscow metro in ukraine, i heard 3rd installment became open world like GTA

[hazy helm]

Yes yes it is very very bad just like GTA4

[silver pagoda]

[silver pagoda]

ok back in real sektoras

no more troll, i need to start true stalker but ghostrunner consumed me boys

[worn oar]

Bruh, that mod is super nice so far. Fk ghostrunner, go for it.

[loud gate]

I'll go ply True Stalker too , brotherman.

[silver pagoda]

bro dont sheettalk ghostrunner, its amazing

also true stalker UI overhaul alone i would pay actual money for it

i saw tommy play the game but stopped like 1 hour in to avoid spoilers, that shit looks amazing

[worn oar]

I literally left the stream the moment he started playing too.

I started playing 2days ago

[silver pagoda]

my only gripe is gunslinger, not because its bad, but because i played so much with gunslinger it pisses me off that i wont have new weapons at all

[worn oar]

And I'm still in chapter 2! I'm taking my time really. It's nice, the economy is nice, cutscenes are nice, everything so far is good stuff.

[worn oar]

Well, I'm familiar with guns modding and stuff, so I can tell you that it's not bad at all. I loved what they did to the upgrades system. I kept my eyes open for feedbacks and I actually saw a couple of ppl complaining about some bugs related to weapons upgrades. Didn't have any crash yet, so it's probably something else?

[loud gate]

Did you also have problems with carry weight limit

[worn oar]

not so much. I adapted.

||got a new backpack||

[silver pagoda]

how is gunslinger changed in TS?

[worn oar]

I have 50kg limit now

[silver pagoda]

i read that they adapted it to the mod and its normal gunslinger, but how much it changed?

[worn oar]

Well, so far, I saw no real change except for the good in-game implementation.

I didn't really pay much attention to weapons collecting, but I loved how they allowed you to get some nice guns through exploration and tasks related to them.

The most annoying part in weapon modding is the upgrades sections. So far, it's all good.

[idle frigate]

should i get gamma and anomaly

[hazy helm]

personal preference choice really

[sand fiber]

if you desire

[loud gate]

People, today is the first day in my prediction calendar of an announcement

The Hopium is insane

@gaunt burrow Plesae, reassure me I'm right

[gaunt burrow]

Can confirm

[old jungle]

Didn't you say the trailer would be on the 23rd? It's full copium city over there

[loud gate]

Yeah, but that didn't happen

[old jungle]

of course it did not

[loud gate]

What do you mean "of course"?

[old jungle]

there was no way

[loud gate]

You gotta take a copium injection, brother

[gaunt burrow]

[old jungle]

I'm good thanks

we wait for January now

[loud gate]

What

You've lost all faith?

[gaunt burrow]

Waiting for Anomalous to make video about 15.02.2024

[old jungle]

We got the post for Christmas, next step is new year.

[loud gate]

Remember 2022, though?

Back when the game wasn't even ready to be launched

[old jungle]

what about it?

[loud gate]

They had a post for Christmas, then Come to Me

[old jungle]

We already got Strider.

[loud gate]

Christmas post on the 24th
Come to Me announcement on the 28th
Come to Me Trailer on the 29th

[loud gate]

Yeah, but GSC still hasn't announced a concrete Release Date + it would be normal for them to start publishing more trailers as we are getting very close to the release.

[old jungle]

I does not mean the same will happen now.

[loud gate]

Why not, It wouldn't be the only time they did big stuff for the end of the year.

[old jungle]

It was also "normal" to be at TGA

[loud gate]

Well, we expected them to be there, but it was also quite foolish of ourselves since they only published Strider a week earlier than that.

[old jungle]

expect nothing and you won't be disappointed.

[loud gate]

Come on, Anomalous. I know deep down you're just as excited as I for the Trailer

Only that you choose the intelligent way

[fathom idol]

Stalker online store pleeeeese❤️

i'm so stoked for this game to drop. This coming from 61 yo mom gamer

[old jungle]

Nice

[finite dragon]

Not many mothers left in the zone

[loud gate]

[granite coral]

👆 💯

[steel vault]

I still can't believe stalker 2 is coming out

[granite coral]

There has been no news of postponement so far. This is a good thing, but it can come at any time because I don't trust GSC in this regard.

[loud gate]

It feels surreal

[loud gate]

Actually, everything they said only implies more and more that the game will release Q1

[granite coral]

We'll see

[loud gate]

We'll see

[granite coral]

I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes

[turbid crag]

And at the end of the day, we become a new trailer with release date.... Q4 2024

[finite dragon]

Hey uhh, I tried posting a meme about a stalker bandit cat blowing up, but it disappeared twice. Is there any rule it could have broken to be removed, or does my discord simply not work ?

(Its a png cat, not am actual cat blowing up)

[fast stratus]

Why?

[loud gate]

@gaunt burrow Went full Dalin and changed my background too

[granite coral]

My day is boring lol

[loud gate]

No S2 news = boring day

[loud gate]

Uhm, I don't know, sorry.

[finite dragon]

Imma try it again, react to it if you see it

[gaunt burrow]

[finite dragon]

Aight you saw it...

[loud gate]

Yeah, I see it.
