I know someone who bought it twice on accident

[dense hatch]

what a shame

[static compass]

Then lost the receipt so couldn't get the canvas bag replacements they sent out

[wide flume]

What if strelok got hawk tuah

[spring wedge]

yep

love this server LOL

[celest blaze]

I got past the issue @granite mortar I'm finishing cotz rn pushing hard to the wish grantor

[finite dragon]

yo wtf keeps happening to my suggestion im deadass so confused

annoying nerds have it out for me

[restive ore]

anyone want to play rainbow six siege

[dense hatch]

why do you keep posting it if it keeps getting removed

[finite dragon]

cuz it doesnt break any rules and they should just hop off

[hidden stratus]

what is it about

[dense hatch]

it's in the thread where 3 people disagree titled lmao

should be just up a little bit

[finite dragon]

i just ask ai should be as capable as player and the UI should be more stylized like in trilogy and less placeholder

idk what the issue is tbh

[hidden stratus]

Yeah I think I saw it. Did you wrote it as..?
Title:
Description:

[finite dragon]

yuh

[hidden stratus]

Did you used profanity?

[dense hatch]

probably was suggested before or something

[finite dragon]

nah

Title: On A-Life 2.0 and the state of HoC’s UI

Description: I think the biggest advancements A-Life “2.0” could do for itself is making the world feel less ego-centric (even more-so) then the trilogy by letting Stalker AI utilize and fall victim to all the same systems and circumstances granted to the player character. (Example, AI Stalkers actually navigate and die to anomalies, AI Stalkers legit take quests from each other (which loses the player money), etc.

Just close the gap between player character and AI character capabilities.

Another thing I noticed is the rudimentary and incredibly minimalistic UI elements whereas the trilogy wasn’t afraid to use rusted gauges and fonts in the UI art direction. It’s almost as if the current UI is placeholder to the point I thought it was getting replaced, who knows though.

TL;DR: Let AI be as capable as player character and stylize the UI as seen in trilogy.

[dense hatch]

not sure about the UI but the a life one is probably a repeat somewhere

[hidden stratus]

It might be the last section there thats causing it to be deleted, just delete the spaces between paragraphs

[finite dragon]

as long as they dont delete it here im cool

i just want it up to look back post release tbhhh

[grim palm]

[dense hatch]

have you tried posting it again

[tropic summit]

My inner monolithian has taken over

[gloomy relic]

im loving how they grounded the artifacts since the earlier gameplay videos. instead of big glowy shiney things, they look like believeable

So wait are no longer a member of clear sky after leaving the swamps?

[loud gate]

?

[dim topaz]

After the events of CS they formed a new faction Slightly Overcast Sky

[static compass]

I'm in the Cordon and it says I'm not part of any faction

Do you have to rejoin them or something?

[loud gate]

you never join CS, you are just big big helper

[static compass]

Oh

[loud gate]

You can join other factions and you will still be with Clear Sky

[static compass]

Free Stalkers it is

[lethal orchid]

[sleek yoke]

Hi Stalkers

I watched the trailer. It was grim, bleak and depressing.

I'm sold

[vale patrol]

👌

[static compass]

[vale patrol]

You know what I think I finnaly found something I hate about master difficulty

Lmao the npcs just won’t fckiny stay alive 😭

Like if your doing a mission to defend and help a main npc. They just get absolute dogged on by the enemy npcs lmao

Like I started the mission where you go meet seryi at garbage to get the info on strelok and obviously there’s that scripted bandit attack you have to help him and the 2 dudes fight off

I’m telling you the moment and I meant the ABSOLUTE moment the bandits showed up and shots went off

Mfer Died 😑

[wide flume]

Buy the game

Pre order the 300 dollar physical copy

Shill out to GSC

GSC I CALL TO YOU, IN THE NAME OF THE ZONE ALLOW ME THE RIGHT TO PLAY YOUR GAME. ALL I ASK OF YOU IS A GAME KEY EARLY.

[static compass]

Bring back the Stalker shop

[frank egret]

BRUH. I don’t have any ammo, and none of the npcs kill the bandits to cross the bridge. What do I do

[wide flume]

Go get more

[wide flume]

You can still leave make sure to fill up before going through tunnel to

[frank egret]

I can’t kill these renegades with a pistol

[wide flume]

Go to trader, buy ammo, go back to bridge

[frank egret]

I found an AK, it doesn’t help. 0 SR also. Guess I’ll have to wait

[wide flume]

that is the way of the zone

[lethal nymph]

any good overall animation mod for stalker soc?

i have ZRP & OGRS Engine installed

[sweet oak]

Hello

How are you doing?

Is there any channel that I can advertise?
I am an artist and my commission are open

[finite dragon]

if its stalker related art then yeah you can

[sweet oak]

I can draw any art both in 3d style and 2d depends on the want

[cyan canopy]

OGSR CoP weapons

[finite dragon]

no thanks but thats not like the suitable server for advertising

unless its stalker related

[sweet oak]

Understandable

[worn oar]

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[finite dragon]

GMC GAMING WORLD please release game september 5 oh it wood be so funni

[sly matrix]

Yeah that's why they'd release the game early with extra spicy bugs, just for laughs

[vale drift]

Are the old stalker games the closest thing ill be able to find on console or is there another game thats more modern like gamma

[granite mortar]

The old games are the closest since they are literally the only stalker games

[fair jackal]

does anyone else start Clear Sky by spending HOURs looking for loot in the swamp when all you'll find is meh gear and meds?

[granite mortar]

You will find 2 scopes, Veles detector, Viper 5, many artifacts and few AKs

[fair jackal]

i´m just looking for money lol

[granite mortar]

Theres a guaranteed artifact that you can sell to sid for 12k

[loud gate]

I miss him too much

[finite dragon]

I spent about 80 hours just wandering around the Great Swamps and collecting stashes.

[fair jackal]

literally i´m just trying to find things to flip because i need money to upgrade my gear because i am trying CS on Master difficulty this time and i´m being killed in like 3 shots lol.

[granite mortar]

Just go artifact hunting
By far the best paid activity
Sidequests arent bad either

[fair jackal]

honestly i feel like i can´t do that yet

whenever i get near the areas i take too much damage from the anomalies

i know that there's things you can sell to stalkers in the field that pays much more than if you sold it to the vendors like Sid or the guy in Clear Sky's base

[granite mortar]

Errmm
Just avoid the anomalies

The fields are hand made
They got paths you can learn

[jaunty junco]

Do you throw your bolts?

[fair jackal]

like i´m near a gas or whatever and when i walk in i take damage even if im not hitting the anomaly itself.

i have been through CS before just on normal or what it was.

[granite mortar]

[granite mortar]

No
The bolts throw me

[jaunty junco]

I did just fine on those anomalies on master just revently

Just used a medkit and all was well in the end

[fair jackal]

i also just need to get better at saving

find out what key is set to quick save

[jaunty junco]

I try to not save as much

Makes fight more interesting

[fair jackal]

the first time i went through the trilogy in order then replayed SoC, i didn´t use quicksaves at all, i made all my saves myself.

[hardy bear]

My condolences

[fair jackal]

but it seems that i´ll lose progress a lot if i don´t use the quicksaves lol.

last time i was on CS i lost half an hour's

[vale patrol]

Only time you need bolts fr is the electric ones since it’s quicker

Just throw once they go off can run right through

[jaunty junco]

I do them for the fruit punches cause im blind lol

[vale patrol]

Oh lmao

[jaunty junco]

Took me way too long to realise this

[vale patrol]

I learned it on my first playthrough at wild territory

The little under pass where you find that deagle

Near where you fight the mercs.

[jaunty junco]

My first experience was anomaly (sad i know) so i didnt know shit

[vale patrol]

All good lmao at least you know now

[jaunty junco]

Thankfully now i rather prefer the originals

Every now qnd then i do play some warfare

[vale patrol]

I was surprised asf cause I thought the bolts were only just to find the shits lmao. Come to find out you can set em off purposely 😑

[fair jackal]

i feel like the modded ones isn´t interesting to me like it seems like a lot to micro manage.

[vale patrol]

In certain areas I agree

The main reason I would mod it tbh is simply for the facelift as far as the features it’s whatever to me

[jaunty junco]

Anomaly an hamma have massive amounts of bloat

[vale patrol]

Stalker 2 looks like it’s gonna be naked in with these new features tho so that’s cool

Baked in*

[granite mortar]

Rel rel

[vale patrol]

Jesus autocorrect 💀

[fair jackal]

i feel like 2 will literally just be like, STALKER but with new things which is what it should be.

[granite mortar]

[fair jackal]

it probably won´t be entirely overhauled like some of these mod packs out there

[vale patrol]

Well yeah 💀

[hardy bear]

Seems like it’s trying to achieve somewhat of a balance

[vale patrol]

Agree

That new school tactical survival a bit, but still old school stalker

[fair jackal]

i find it weird a little that they made all those new animations for using things

[vale patrol]

Why lmao

[hardy bear]

Honestly the only thing I would have maybe liked to see in s2 was the concept of temporary healing and permanent healing. Dont bother with all the body parts, I don’t like that very much, but the dynamic of having temporary healing in combat with a permanent fix that induces some visual wobble is a neat one.

[fair jackal]

but switching fire mode didn´t get animated but maybe that's being nitpicky of the issue lies in having to make the animation fit all of their 35 guns

[fair jackal]

the second part of the message is important lol

[vale patrol]

Oh nah lmao I read that now I had said why before you sent it

[granite mortar]

Its industry standard nowadays
But the animations are very quick so they wont hinder gameplay
I think you will be able to turn them off as well

[vale patrol]

I love ‘em just makes the game more immersive

Metro did a great job with that with animation work

[granite mortar]

Immersion is such a buzzword
I hate it

[vale patrol]

Not when it actually applies lmao

[jaunty junco]

Mah immersion is ruined!

[fair jackal]

again the second part of that message which i prolly should have included in the same one instead of posting it after, is where i´m getting at with that statement lol

[vale patrol]

Immersion in this sense would be when it’s bringing it closer to reality

[granite mortar]

Muh immuhshun is ruined broooo
Mercs need to have US accent or it ruins muh immuhshun

[vale patrol]

And Irl you actually have to do these actions not press a piece of food and it invisibly is eaten and heals you 💀

[hardy bear]

Immersion is such a subjective concept anyways

[fair jackal]

i like that we have to retreat to use things instead of just hitting the medkit key while rushing an enemy.

[vale patrol]

Exactly

[jaunty junco]

It doesnt for you?

[vale patrol]

Sure as shit wish 💀

[jaunty junco]

I dont lol, i like enjoying my food

[granite mortar]

Like
Whenever I hear "immersion" first thing I imagine is is your average soyjak reddit moderator with 4 goggle NVGs

[vale patrol]

Lmao your chronically online then Brodie

[hardy bear]

Hearing it gives me a headache at times, cause it could mean like 50 different things

[vale patrol]

Especially when talking about a game that’s last entry was like 16 years ago 💀

[granite mortar]

Uhh
Yeah
Sure...
Because I think immersion is a buzzword used by chuds...

[vale patrol]

It ain’t the next tactical open world game of the generation that drops one every year 💀

[granite mortar]

People who use the word most in the community are chuds and redditors

[vale patrol]

Get off of Reddit 🗿

[hardy bear]

Gives me the same energy as the word ‘clunky’. A catch all term that doesn’t really help much

[granite mortar]

I dont even use reddit

[jaunty junco]

Reddit is for poopy heads

[vale patrol]

Bruh

[fair jackal]

my only issue is that we don´t finish the whole food item when we eat things. i wanna look at Skif taking his 5min to chill with his can of mystery meat while bopping his head to that one song in the radio video they uploaded some days ago./s

[spring creek]

they use it to complain when they have to pick pronouns for their character
it can also mean elements of realism that make you feel like you're playing as a real person :p

[vale patrol]

Quite literally

[jaunty junco]

I only use it if i have a specific problem that someone knew the answer to 8 years ago

[vale patrol]

Only reddits I’ve ever even gave the light of day is developers community reddits

[vale patrol]

That too 😂

I swear everytime I search some shit yo someone on Reddit answered it already 💀

Jesus I fkn hate autocorrect

[hardy bear]

The saddest thing though is someone with the same problem as you but no answer after like 6 years

[vale patrol]

PlayStation stick drift mfers 👌🗿👌

Just sony purposely causing it tho so people buy more controllers

[fair jackal]

drift is the bane of my existence

[hardy bear]

I can’t imagine they’d make something intentionally bad

[vale patrol]

Used to be for me aswell so I just switched to razer controllers

[vale patrol]

They’ve already been exposed for it lmao

[hardy bear]

:|

[vale patrol]

Literally had a lawsuit against them for it some time ago

And Claimed to “fix” it

But then someone opened up the PS5 controller to check

And we’ll what do you know still not fking fixed 💀

[fair jackal]

i´ve had like 4 PS5 controllers and 3 of them got drift., one i got a refund on because it only lasted 4 months

[vale patrol]

A dude had just made a vid about it the other day actually LMAOOO

[hardy bear]

That’s crazy

Glad I don’t have that issue

[vale patrol]

Yeah nah fck that what they need is to get sued again the dumb fks

Fkn hate Sony

[fair jackal]

i attempted to fix it by opening one of the 2 white ones with drift that i have on my desk some time ago only to manage to make pushing down on the L3 make me go forward lol..

i´m thinking about if i should get a tool kit and a soldering iron and then try to make repairs for it myself because it´s so expensive to go and buy new controllers.

[vale patrol]

Xbox does the same thing with the Rb button funnily

There’s an extra piece of plastic that keeps the LB in place better that’s not on the RB button

Then again that was for last gen idk about new gen

Since new gen I’ve had only 2 controllers

A Power A pro which lasted me forever lmao for like 50 bucks, then the razer V2 that I’ve had forever now

The controller that came with the console I still have in pristine condition 💀

[fair jackal]

the controller i got with my PS5 got drift after just 4months.

luckily i had bought a second when i did get that but man.

[jaunty junco]

Mine is about this or more old and mine is fine

Though i dont use it often

[fair jackal]

idk what the flip happens when people tell me they've used the same controller for a long time

it should have been me!

[vale patrol]

Well it always Varys

[spring creek]

poor quality control perhaps

[hardy bear]

Pushing too hard on the stick maybe?

[vale patrol]

Time usage, how hard you press your buttons, if you clean it here and there

[fair jackal]

i like to think i´m not rough with my controllers

[vale patrol]

Ect there’s a lot of factors. But that still doesn’t excuse Sony for not fixing the issue they got sued for years ago lmao

[fair jackal]

out of fear of breaking them then having to replace them. lol

[hardy bear]

Use keyboard for

[vale patrol]

I have special key binds for stalker in my controller I’m chilling for 2

Razer has extra buttons up top

If I didn’t enjoy immersing myself and playing stalker so real lmao and slow I would be popping the npcs like it’s fkn cod

But ain’t the way to play stalker fr. Here’s hoping 2 has iron man perma death man

I can only wish 👌🗿👌

[broken latch]

May you all be blessed with cats today

[nimble cipher]

thebulletkin has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hardy bear]

Wait what

[vale patrol]

You have been wolf’d

[hardy bear]

Not sure why but hey go

[vale patrol]

Bayun 😈

[hardy bear]

Lemme rephrase - With the accuracy changes I wonder how they will balance gunfights given you can just one tap everyone now with perfect accuracy

[broken latch]

I've been using my PS3 controller with stick drift for over 6 years because all controllers are overpriced

[vale patrol]

Just make the npcs more accurate and do more damage dependent on difficulty done

[hardy bear]

Yeah the inherent changes to accuracy will effect them as well to be fair

[vale patrol]

But set a good enough base to where novice is still at least challenging

[somber hawk]

guns probably do little damage

[broken latch]

I'd rather prefer if difficulty changed loot rates and stuff like thay

[vale patrol]

I’m playing fkn master Ironman if they have it I’m trying to speak it into existence

[loud gate]

[hardy bear]

Can’t imagine it’d be like that, people would complain about bullet sponges if that’s the case. They’ll probably just make it a glass cannon type balance

[fair jackal]

funny the PS3 controller i have for my PS3 console that i have had for like forever, works just fine. it just feels small for my hands now lol.

[broken latch]

Pls mail it to me

[broken latch]

Just use the highest difficulty and quit the game after dying, no need for fancy difficulty

[fair jackal]

i´ve been slowly trying to play through the Ratchet and clank series and most of the games are available on the PS3, even had to buy a digital game on there like a month or so ago lmao.

buying a game on the PS3 store in 2024 is whack lol

[broken latch]

Finding a PS3 controller in Balkan is whack

[vale patrol]

Ain’t the same 🪦

[hardy bear]

Is a substitute though

[vale patrol]

I need my save to be deleted immediately

[broken latch]

Don’t worry I won’t say such mean things

[vale patrol]

Don’t worry worlds too soft nowadays anyway to keep it a stack

Quite literally some mfers would spas in early days cod lobby’s if they think today is shit

[jaunty junco]

Your the one getting upset at someone saying "womp womp" lol

[vale patrol]

I was clearly joking lmao wtf 😂

I ain’t mad at y’all lmao he literally did a cat smoking my pack lol

It all jokes I don’t mind

[broken latch]

Just don't try to avoid the Wolfs automod, it exists for a reason

[vale patrol]

Bruh people avoid wolf all the time 💀

[jaunty junco]

Swearing hurts my feelings

[vale patrol]

Unfortunate

[broken latch]

We enforce it when we see it, don't let others bad decisions influence your own

[vale patrol]

If me saying The F word in a discord about a game where we literally talk about killing mfers and all types of degeneracy is a bad decision then ggs man 💀

[jaunty junco]

I swear like a sailor but I learn to restrain myself where its not allowed. You can too

[broken latch]

You should know better that all places have their own rules, #📌┃rules

[vale patrol]

Obviously all places have rules 🗿 I’m not sitting here spam braking them lmao. The speed limit down here is 25 and occasionally I go 30 or 35 💀

You blowing it up for no reason it was all in a joking manner it is what it is

People avoid wolf all day everyday don’t single me out like I care enough

I ain’t hurting no one and I’m not spam baiting him lmao

[hardy bear]

Was just watching through the deep dive for like the 4th time, was reading through the descriptions of items just to see if there’s anything I didn’t catch and it made mention of cooking canned food over a campfire, is that just flavour text do you think or might that mean there’s some kind of cooking mechanic?

[broken latch]

I just asked you to not do it, and you kept trying to justify yourself

And I told you we enforce it when we see it

We are all humans after all

[vale patrol]

No one’s justifying themselves did I say it again?

I’m justifying why I don’t care

[jaunty junco]

Probably flavour text but we'll see when game is out

[vale patrol]

It’s not a big deal and is broken all the time by other so I’m not boutta sit here and act like you singling me out just cause you happen to see it now matters

[hardy bear]

Yeah I imagine we would have seen it by now if it was a system. Dont really know what it would add, as you’d just be getting more out of each meal with no real downside

[vale patrol]

If rules can be broken when no one’s looking why should I respect you getting on me trying to enforce it now

You either before your rules or you don’t

[broken latch]

All I ask of you is to not do it as it is completely unnecessary

[vale patrol]

Brodie…

And have you seen me say it since 💀

[broken latch]

All rules can be broken when no one's looking even irl?

[jaunty junco]

I got so used to cooking everything thanks to dayz so id love to see some cooking but wont be upset if its not there

[broken latch]

I don't see how cooking a flesh would be healthy

[jaunty junco]

Do what you gotta do to survive

[vale patrol]

That’s literally the analogy I made about the speed limit 💀

[hardy bear]

I suppose they could potentially have some kind of mutant hunting system, but I feel like that would make it less important to return to civilisation after a long journey

[broken latch]

We'll end the matter here, I only asked you to stop avoiding automod and nothing else

[vale patrol]

Isn’t hunting confirmed?

[broken latch]

Wouldn't it be safer to just eat another stalker?

[vale patrol]

And like I said and will say the last time🗿 have you seen me since

[hardy bear]

No clue, don’t remember seeing a showcase where anyone looted a mutant part

[vale patrol]

Damn we should do an ask gsc lol

[jaunty junco]

What faction would be tastier you think?

[vale patrol]

Duty 😈

[broken latch]

I reckon the duty would be cleanest

[vale patrol]

Ong

[jaunty junco]

I beg to differ, they train the most of any faction and probably use steroids, i think theyd be lean and tough to chew on

[fair jackal]

well i think i´ve procrastinated enough. time to get in the zone

[hardy bear]

Doubt they’ll comment on it just yet. I can see it being an interesting way to let you extend your time spent walking in return for expending ammunition and health by fighting something, but if balanced poorly it might just let you live out there forever

[vale patrol]

Well that’s simply gonna be based on the risk/reward factor and how hard the mutants are gonna be able to put up a fight and provide

Just make the easy mutants bit give as much since they would likely be the small one anyway so makes sense and the big ones a challenge and more rewarding

[hardy bear]

Yeah, having to go out of your way to decide whether to find a dangerous one to kill or return back to safety could be an interesting dynamic

[vale patrol]

And whatever one it is big or small would likely determine what you have to use and how much to take it down

[vale patrol]

Exactly

[hardy bear]

It’s like the whole concept of emissions but covering a different mechanic

[vale patrol]

It’s all just risk/reward. Like hey I’m low and skiff need to eat and heal. I have enough to possibly take down this boar but also just enough gear to make my way back to a trader and fight the possible enemy’s on the way there what do I do

That would be the preface of hunting obviously more fleshed out but you get the gist

[vale patrol]

Well ehh difference is an emission you don’t got a choice lmao

You gotta get to shelter or your dead regardless

[hardy bear]

More so referring to how with emissions existing, you are going to be constantly evaluating how far you are from shelter and whether, should one strike, you can actually get back in time. A similar dynamic of choosing to push out or stay near something solid to hide away in

[vale patrol]

Well that also just depends on what you need to be in shelter wise. As far as the stalker map goes at least from the original trilogy you were never really far from anything. And even just being in at least a small little covered building could protect you

Unless they make it in 2 to have to be a fully setup covered up decent conditioned building

But I doubt it as that would probably just be too tedious tbh

But we shall see tho

[finite dragon]

is there a way to load into maps in cs with the console??

[storm heath]

No(

[misty kite]

this is killing me

[hardy bear]

Tbf the map is so big now that even if it’s just mild shelter you need, the distance between shelters will be so much larger that the impact of that decision to push out further would be felt even more

[misty kite]

i remember someone posting a meme here a while ago where there was some guy walking into a house in stalker with a shotgun on the table and then nirvana plays and they run out

[vale patrol]

That is true I wonder how large the undense areas of the map will be

[misty kite]

if someone can find it you are epic

[vale patrol]

I would assume to most undense ones would be swamps or like zaton

Imagine an emission comming and your stranded in a fight with a fkn controller in swamps 💀

I wonder tho if npcs will react and retreat if an emission started during a gunfight with them

[hardy bear]

I imagine they would. Haven’t actually been in a gunfight while an emission starts to chec

[fair jackal]

Just have a truce for a moment with a Controller in a shack

[karmic vale]

Perfect time for kissing

Just kidding i mean ANNIHILATING THAT STUPID MUTANT

[vale patrol]

😂😂

[vale patrol]

Controllers look like a malnourished handsome squidward 💀

Scratch that a malnourished fallout super mutant 💀

[celest blaze]

bro looks like he never skips neck day

[fair jackal]

is it only in CoP that you can sell ammo to stalkers out in the field or am i forgetting something.

[rocky trellis]

from what I remember there isn't really much of a reason to sell to stalkers out in the fields, due to prices and the small amount of money they carry around

[fair jackal]

i know that in one of the games it was very lucrative to sell them ammo

[worn oar]

[rocky trellis]

I just carried all the ammo for my buddy Owl

[fair jackal]

now to try to survive getting into Cordon...

[jaunty junco]

Good luck

i hate this so much lol.

sometimes it feels like i get 1 hit, other times 2-3

Congrats on making it past Vova Vist

[fair jackal]

or whatever it is.

to be honest i was thinking about turning on god mode but then i went back and to the other entry point up north

[static compass]

Just gotta be quick enough

[fair jackal]

but the loners don´t like me so i got shot at for trying to go through a tunnel.

[granite mortar]

Literally Hunting Rifle

One of first guns you get your hands on

[pseudo rivet]

PMm Gang

[dense hatch]

bullets disappear for some reason after a short distance

[fair jackal]

eh. it didn´t feel super effective when i used it.

[dense hatch]

it can feel jank but it works well with the accuracy upgrade

[granite mortar]

If you upgrade it you can effectively headshot enemies from 60 meters away

[dense hatch]

which doesn't actually disable the ability to use shot if I recall correctly

[granite mortar]

It does

[fair jackal]

i´m still early on so i am not loaded.

[granite mortar]

The upgrades cost like 1.5k in total

[dense hatch]

I think it's like 600 or something

[fair jackal]

too late now as i don´t have one and i don´t know if i think i will use one

[dense hatch]

works really well with how open the swamp is but it isn't a huge deal considering you can get a good gun immediately after getting into the cordon

[fair jackal]

accuracy in CS is really messed up, without upgrades combat is annoying.

[dense hatch]

the second you upgrade literally anything it's extremely effective

[fair jackal]

ehhhh

[dense hatch]

requires actually investing into a weapon, but then pretty much anything is viable

[fair jackal]

i run a Viper at the moment that has some things and yet it still feels incredibly innaccurate

[dense hatch]

beat the game with the starting akm

[static compass]

I sold my hunting rifle

But I found a Vintar so

[dense hatch]

or just not the viper, which feels a little worse in CS

I think it's the animation which feels really odd to use

[odd locust]

Hey guys I have a question, I am playing stalker anomaly and I can not find a single duty npc to make a companion anywhere in duty base, though I did with a free stalker, he is just incredibly bad and can not survive easy fights. I have 2000+ goodwill score on duty

I wonder if DLC weapons would get added

[celest blaze]

i hope so

[celest goblet]

I think it would make sense as a part of the story expansions to have some new items

[granite mortar]

I wonder if the additional quest is tied to new areas

[celest blaze]

Same im curious

[broken latch]

Me staring at a city with 700 garrison and 10 nobles that each have 150 soldier in warband

[granite mortar]

Errrrm
Thats offtop

[hidden stratus]

I wanna think that they'll treat the expansions how CDPR did with Cyberpunk 2077

New gear, new location, new story

[granite mortar]

Well they said story expansions

And leaks seem promising too

[hidden stratus]

Aint no way they are already working on the expansions

[still ridge]

Probably just ideas at this point

I’m sure they’re not devoting actual time to them instead of polishing the game

[hidden stratus]

At the most concept art

[celest goblet]

Preproduction may have started on dlc already

[static compass]

A few I'd like to see are molotovs, perhaps a Kar98k, maybe an RPD if it's not already in the game

[dense hatch]

molotovs would require functional fire though

[celest goblet]

So that when the game is complete and shipped they have something for the development team to transition to right away

[static compass]

Explain

[dense hatch]

because molotovs spread fire?

like for a proper burn visual effect and dot

[static compass]

Oh

[dense hatch]

which is a lot of work compared to just applying damage

[static compass]

Maybe landmines then

Small ones

[granite mortar]

Lighters exist

[hidden stratus]

Well they can work on it based off the burner anomalies

[celest goblet]

Well if there is bleeding then there is already the capacity for damage over time

[static compass]

Yee

[dense hatch]

as a visual effect goofus

[finite dragon]

stalker anomaly just froze for no reason at all, I was in the swamps

[granite mortar]

Doofus*

[dense hatch]

not literally "how would they light it" but "how would they make it not garbage like the fo4 one"

[still ridge]

cool. Play vanilla and maybe it won’t happen

To be fair Anomaly server isnt much better unless you ask someone like Kalak

This picture of Syak was edited to make him look less chad so people could handle it

[ember fossil]

how to fix voicelines being skipped in shadow of chernobyl? like when i talk to npc they skip last few words and start saying next sentence

[wide flume]

Believe that is just happens

Can’t rly do anything

[ember fossil]

everyone has same problem?

[dense hatch]

verify game files?

[wide flume]

I’m play it on Xbox now, you gotta have the no mods mindset

[dense hatch]

it's just like a reinstall

[ember fossil]

verified game files

no issues found

[dense hatch]

are you skipping dialog or anything?

[ember fossil]

no

[dense hatch]

can you record an example

[ember fossil]

ok ill try

[fair jackal]

got some money saved up now on CS, just 30k but it´s ok. found 3 bodies with VSSs so i kept one.

[hidden stratus]

Def spend them on your suit

[celest goblet]

Armor first then guns is how I do it

[fair jackal]

i still have the CS one lol

[celest goblet]

I usually go for Bulat or SEVA in CS

Depends on your play style and how much you like artifacts

[fair jackal]

i want a new suit but i can´t remember what there is available to me as the earliest upgrade

i love artifacts lol

[celest goblet]

Then probably SEVA for you

Though it can only be fully upgraded by bandits

[fair jackal]

i haven't even been to the garbage yet on this run

[somber hawk]

duh really?

[still ridge]

Yeah it’s kind of silly

[indigo marsh]

Lore wise it makes sense tho

[somber hawk]

how

[indigo marsh]

Limpid was a working for the defense industry of Ukraine until he did a crime and was sent to a penal colony and now is a bandit

[somber hawk]

oh

i havent played yet CS so yk

[indigo marsh]

The crime was stabbing a plumber with a screwdriver because he had a disagreement with him over a bottle of liquor

And the reason he went to the zone was because he lost everything after he got sentenced

[somber hawk]

bro stabbed mario

[indigo marsh]

With a screwdriver

Bro thinks he's John wick

[hardy bear]

Really hoping for another trailer on Tuesday

[inland granite]

Is it correct that Stalker 2 would have total 35 weapons? i swear they were going to have more than 35

[dense hatch]

yeah

[inland granite]

Well that's kinda disappointing that means that some of the weapons from trilogy won't make it to Stalker 2

[granite mortar]

Yeah

Hope Hunting Rifle remains

[covert delta]

gsc has said that theres gonna be a modding sdk released sometime after launch so any weapons that arent in the game can be modded in

also nice spec ops the line pfp

[inland granite]

Now obviously, i'm sure there will be a gazillion weapon mod packs but it's not the same

[covert delta]

fair

[inland granite]

I'm fond of original weapons from trilogy i have some good memories about them it's kinda hard to explain. Nostalgia?

[dense hatch]

I'm hoping they're attempting to reduce secondary bloat a bit

most of the secondaries weren't really super useful by midgame

[celest goblet]

Believe we have seen it in screenshots before

[inland granite]

Pistols were redundant in late games yea

I hope that Stalker 2 would gives us an extensive weapon upgrade/modifications to make them feel unique and powerful

[buoyant hornet]

Big ben soc

[celest goblet]

I like that we are getting a dedicated pistol slot. Not making you use one in place of another weapon will make them more desirable

Dedicated backup weapon instead

[hardy bear]

Which one’s the hunting rifle again? Not good with weapon names

[inland granite]

Fellow black kite enjoyer

[celest goblet]

the over-under double barrel

[buoyant hornet]

not just any black kite, Big ben! a 9 by 39 two shot machine

[covert delta]

the toz-34? (iirc)

[hardy bear]

Ah I think I know the one. We know that one’s coming

Unless I’ve got the wrong one

[still ridge]

Correct

[dense hatch]

goes hard in CS

[still ridge]

What was it?

[indigo marsh]

Especially with slugs

[hardy bear]

Ah the toz, we’ve already seen that one

[covert delta]

ok good, i couldnt remember if the over-under shotgun was the toz-34 or the toz-66 😅

[worn oar]

Insect like parasite that lives within stalkers and pops out of them like corn

[still ridge]

wtf

[worn oar]

Yeah

[still ridge]

yeah I don’t like that very much

[covert delta]

that sounds horrific but cool asf

[celest goblet]

the attachments system seems more developed in this one. we also know there are upgrades though we haven't seen it in action yet

[dense hatch]

yikes

[fair jackal]

is there actually like a full suite of mods for the Hunting Shotgun

[still ridge]

Apocalyptic ass parasite

[granite mortar]

[dense hatch]

the hunting rifle only has like 5-6 I think

[still ridge]

We did

[hardy bear]

We’ve seen a full 3D model of it

[worn oar]

Haha I'll try to find the vid, exclusive stuff from the dev phase

[dense hatch]

one is a 50% accuracy bonus and is supposed to disable shot but doesn't

[fair jackal]

hmm. does it have notably more damage or something over the others

[still ridge]

Bruh I’d actually use able to play rttn if it didn’t have the horrible weapon clipping

[fair jackal]

i did find out and repaired it then i tried seeing what it could take but it only had a few

[still ridge]

Like the clipping is actually atrocious and there is no way around it

[granite mortar]

[fair jackal]

it does on my game.

it´s the 1 mod i put on it

[dense hatch]

ah

[dense hatch]

it really, really bothered me but I just tried to ignore it

[celest goblet]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message from press kit

[covert delta]

oh that is beautiful

[dense hatch]

ooh

[celest goblet]

It's a little old so it may look a bit different in final version but it is there

[granite mortar]

[dense hatch]

wish someone made a replacer for the FNV caravan shotgun

that weapon is so garbage

[hardy bear]

The 3D model from a few years back looks the same, so likely it hasn’t changed much from that screenshot to now

[worn oar]

@still ridge @granite mortar

[granite mortar]

[covert delta]

oh my god its a chestburster from the alien movies

[worn oar]

I don't even remember what it was named. It's from 2019 or 18

[granite mortar]

What exactly couldnt the engine handle?

[dense hatch]

some dead space 1991 type stuff

wicked

[still ridge]

Me after 1 hour no zaza

did RTTN add more mutants in general? I didn’t play long enough to see if there were any

[dense hatch]

probably properly spawning it and replacing the thing it kills, and also making it "spawn" naturally

[still ridge]

Besides the cut ones from the originals

[still ridge]

It’s peak

[granite mortar]

Yeah
It added Nightshade

Its tied to the story

[indigo marsh]

That sounds like a plant or something

[dense hatch]

did you know that

[fair jackal]

might you have been thinking of a mod for the Chaser or Spas maybe or something, i feel like i remember a unique one saying it couldn´t use Buckshot but it could.

[granite mortar]

Well I think it would be scripted spawn anyways
So it wouldnt even have to replace
It would just spawn an NPC in the area and then boom

[still ridge]

RTTN seems like a pretty peak mod but the grievances I have with the weapons make it pretty unplayable for me

[granite mortar]

Its good
Me like

[still ridge]

GROK could do this!!!!

[covert delta]

it is, a very poisonous one at that

[dense hatch]

that's the hunting rifle yeah

[granite mortar]

By far best fork of Call of Misery

[dense hatch]

best version of crap

[granite mortar]

Grok could steal it

[dense hatch]

wouldn't be the first time

[granite mortar]

I mean
It really stands out considering its "competition"

[dense hatch]

I'm surprised nobody has attempted to implement it though

[covert delta]

grok is the guy that made* gamma right?

[still ridge]

Demosfen would be proud

[still ridge]

Yeah

[dense hatch]

even like, really poorly and janky

[granite mortar]

The ALFAmodmaker

[fair jackal]

idk i swear there is one of the uniques that says it can´t use buckshot.

[still ridge]

Someone call demosfen I bet he could do it

[granite mortar]

He aint no BITСH to ask for permissions

[finite dragon]

grok = the gamma guy
GSC = the stalker guys

[still ridge]

After stealing all of gunslinger’s animations and putting them in RTTN

[dense hatch]

that's in the original and it's threaded

and I think it ALSO doesn't actually work or something

[still ridge]

The Nikolai video with the demosfen clips was hilarious

[granite mortar]

Didnt see that :(

[still ridge]

Although I bet if I watched his videos now I would lose braincells

[finite dragon]

demosfentanyl

[dense hatch]

can't wait for grok to see this in 2 hours and start complaining about it

[still ridge]

that kind of humor ages pretty badly

[covert delta]

what did he steal? im not well versed in stalker community lore

[still ridge]

it’s a meme

[finite dragon]

i dont understand

[granite mortar]

What did he NOT steal?

[dense hatch]

he stole my heart

[granite mortar]

Real

[indigo marsh]

The earth

[granite mortar]

He stole my permission to enter his server

[still ridge]

Nikolai videos are just like 2017 MLG stalker meme videos

They were good back then but re watching them doesn’t have the same effect

[dense hatch]

many such cases!

[indigo marsh]

M4A3 became an M4(FL10) for a second before becoming normal and teleporting back to spawn

[still ridge]

Some are still good though

[indigo marsh]

This is was after I spawned

Bro thinks he is a agent/monolith

[dense hatch]

the style of content just hasn't aged the most gracefully

[still ridge]

It’s a meme because gamma is a massive mod pack with like 500 different mods from different modmakers that may or may not have been asked permission to use their content

@covert delta

[granite mortar]

Lets not talk about it
We dont want another "Grok vs Demosfen meme drama"

[dense hatch]

grok is french too

[celest blaze]

someone should make a gamma version of tes games

[still ridge]

That was my fault lol I shouldn’t have pinged the guy

I didn’t think he would react like that, no disrespect was intended but it became a shit show 😭

[dense hatch]

[granite mortar]

It was funny tho

Some of you guys were straight up bullying him lmfao

Had to step in

[dense hatch]

I missed bullying?

[celest blaze]

im innocent this time

[dense hatch]

damn

[celest blaze]

i think idk

[hazy helm]

demosfen is prob busy scammiing his fans again

he doesnt care

much

[granite mortar]

It was some time back
Before you became active here

[still ridge]

Demosfen doesn’t care because he doesn’t have a positive self image anyway

nobody thinks about demosfen being a goated mod maker like Doctor X

[granite mortar]

Demosfen is literally the "yeah I stole it, what you gonna do about it bitсh" type of guy

[celest blaze]

ONG Doc is legendary

[dense hatch]

what a shame

[celest blaze]

id trade them to bring doc back

[granite mortar]

Demosfen thinks of himself that way

[hazy helm]

that shit is literally small potatos, did you know he takes patreon cash and commisions, then grabs the commision money, lowballs a modeler and reaps the benefits

[celest blaze]

no theif is ever goated unless its me ( i steal good memes )

[hazy helm]

then after all that he goes on his patreon and begs for cash'

[celest blaze]

[granite mortar]

So based
He is more corrupt than the country he comes from
True patriot

[celest blaze]

that sounds like a sad life honestly

id rather work fast food then beg for cash

[dense hatch]

[granite mortar]

Did you see his convo with guy who ordered ingame model of himself from Demosfen?
He kept begging for cash so he could afford financial literacy courses

[celest blaze]

???

[dense hatch]

but why

[granite mortar]

There was this massive post on VK detailing Demosfen practices
Sadly I cant find it

[worn oar]

I don't know excalty.

[hazy helm]

as I said

the gfunslinger drama is literally small potatoes

[dense hatch]

this is yet another example of the fallout mod community sweeping

instead of drama 90% it's just extreme creator burnout

[covert delta]

oh gotcha gotcha

[hazy helm]

I have yet to see a pdf file drama in the stalker community

yet

[dense hatch]

listen

[granite mortar]

Do you by chance have link for the VK post dear Sir Slinger

[still ridge]

I mean realistically could grok actually ask 400+ people if he could use their mod?

[dense hatch]

most of us speak the same language

[still ridge]

How much time would that take

[celest blaze]

true tbh 400 emails and waiting

[dense hatch]

yes it takes like less than a minute to send a message

[celest blaze]

well tech 447 emails

[granite mortar]

To his credit
Anomaly devs didnt ask for shit either
Nor did they really credit anyone

[dense hatch]

if they don't reply then they clearly consent

[still ridge]

That’s fair

[indigo marsh]

The EN community is relatively calm if you ignore the anomaly community

[granite mortar]

They already consent by posting the mods and not specifically stating they dont want them used in modpacks

[celest blaze]

i agree

[indigo marsh]

Mainly because that's most of the en community

[dense hatch]

I don't care enough about anything relating to stalker modding to have a viewpoint

[dense hatch]

I just think it's funny

[still ridge]

It is funny

[celest blaze]

aslong as you're not profiting off other peoples work and mod devs dont say hey dont use my mods for x then its fine mostly imo

[worn oar]

@still ridge btw, all weapons were clipping you said? Or it's just some of them?

[dense hatch]

I don't really mind gamma for being what it is or anything around it

[still ridge]

Nikolai videos were peak fiction when they came out

[hazy helm]

the only reason you dont see this stuff in the En Community is bc there is no one in the En Community

[granite mortar]

Iirc its mostly Mosin specific issue

[hazy helm]

yall fuckers are all LAZY
aitn no one releasing mods

[celest blaze]

i think this server is about 90% of the en community lol

[granite mortar]

Well there isnt really reason since most people wont give a shit about the mods anyways

[dense hatch]

there really isn't anything to argue about in the stalker series besides lore and memes about faction choice

[worn oar]

The weapons I added from TAZ were fine. All the shit is part of STCoM pack

[indigo marsh]

Well, I mean people are releasing add-ons for anomaly and add-ons are technically modifications

[granite mortar]

renegadis gods of zona

[granite mortar]

[dense hatch]

preach

[still ridge]

All weapons with stocks/two handed animations

So basically everything other than pistols

Some worse than others

[granite mortar]

The addons are technically shit
Except for Dynamic Zone since that one makes Anomaly players suffer :3

[celest blaze]

the biggest thing in the EN community is pro peak sky chads vs cringe anti peak sky skippers

[worn oar]

Weird! The only problem I left that was fixed almost instantly was few upgrades I forgot to rework

[indigo marsh]

Actually it would be Anomaly

[granite mortar]

You mean everyone dogpiling NozAr

[still ridge]

You can actually see it if you watch one of the arsenal vids

[celest blaze]

[worn oar]

I wanted to redo everything, but the main dev didn't agree and wanted to keep the old saves compatible, so my work was limited to that.

[wide flume]

Gamma is better than clear sky

[worn oar]

I could only add new and fix old ones if I could

[celest blaze]

RTTZ has a side mode made for fun tahts basically a BR

[granite mortar]

Yeah.. it's a shame it didn't end up in the mod tho

[pseudo rivet]

The most based thing you've said so far

This one is so old

[pseudo rivet]

It's just that the name is so boring

Super emissions have always been a thing

CLEAR SKY IS IN S2

[still ridge]

It’s good

[granite mortar]

Well the term was first used in Clear Sky

[still ridge]

What’s the alternative lol

[pseudo rivet]

Have you seen them? No? Then it's not confirmed yet

super emissions better than no emissions

oh god

True but there are several of them across the franchise

[pseudo rivet]

Cool, so where was that answered or did you just breach NDA?

[celest blaze]

duty losing their base is a skill issue

[granite mortar]

Getting Clear Sky faction back would be cheaper than Clear Sky on sale (2.5€)

[still ridge]

Or seeing like 3 former members or something

[dense hatch]

audio recordings in stalker?

[pseudo rivet]

Bro broke NDA fr

[wide flume]

He beasts out my mp5 and seva suit

[still ridge]

I know more stuff was added but the weapons I used all had this issue

so maybe it was that specific arsenal mod that is bugged?

[worn oar]

It's simply based on mol1t's answer and the logical line of thoughts.

Edillon is possibly right

[still ridge]

find out more about their fate

[dense hatch]

[still ridge]

They’re cooked bruh

[pseudo rivet]

Then don't spread misinformation

[celest blaze]

ill break NDA || Grok is in charge of the DLC and its going to GAMMA 2 ||

Yeah, possibly SToCM weapons pack

[still ridge]

Right now closest thing is Ward

[celest blaze]

🗣️ In GROK we trust 🗣️

[worn oar]

1 sec

[wide flume]

Ward sound like less edgy and more nerdy sin

[pseudo rivet]

But, like, Ward doesn't even seek to coexist with the Zone

[indigo marsh]

Ward is more a police force tho

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom does, though

[still ridge]

Clear sky but unbased lol

[celest blaze]

lol

[still ridge]

Outside of that

[pseudo rivet]

So, like, if you want Clear Sky but not, then pick Freedom

[wide flume]

Strider for life

[still ridge]

Ward is also conducting scientific experiments within the zone for some unknown reason, presumably for the SIRCAA

[fair jackal]

do people have an easy time with picking which faction they believe the most in? lol

[worn oar]

"You will get to know more about their fate", Mol1t.

[indigo marsh]

Maybe the ecologists will still be there

[still ridge]

free stalkers gang

[still ridge]

certainly

[pseudo rivet]

They're so cooked fr

[wide flume]

I like blue armor

[worn oar]

That was his answer to is cs back or not

[indigo marsh]

No

[covert delta]

free stalkers wya???

[pseudo rivet]

Wait, they are doing it themselves? Where was that revealed?

[worn oar]

The other answer was NDA rock when it included remnants, so yeah

I guessed, and it's possibly right

Since it's not a no

[still ridge]

Maybe not for themselves but they’re doing it for someone AFAIK

I might be misremembering

[pseudo rivet]

Are they though? Don't they just support SIRCAA?

[wide flume]

What if car anomaly that’s makes cute cars

[worn oar]

Ward and SIRCAA are connected for sure

Their relation is weird tho

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, they protect SIRCAA and the discoveries they've made

[indigo marsh]

Maybe they do it for themselves too

[still ridge]

Yeah nvm I’m tripping I thought korshunov said something about it in the nov 20 trailer

[worn oar]

I can't really pin it down

[still ridge]

He just said “Ward’s official affairs” not anything relating to scientific studies

[pseudo rivet]

Ward just Duty but even more tyrannical

Amazing

[dense hatch]

nice

[lean quiver]

and probably twice as failures

[still ridge]

Duty but not based and not mutant destroyer pilled

[static compass]

Clear Sky was all like "aight we gonna head out"

[lean quiver]

Duty and based? what an oxymoron

[static compass]

Based and zonepilled

[wide flume]

Duty is like duky

[worn oar]

Nope, they are not duty, they are worse than military to neutrals. Duty was never called that.

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, Duty is at least based for taking the "We're the saviors of this world and nobody even knows about us" pill

[worn oar]

They are more military than duty.

[pseudo rivet]

True, all my homies hate Ward

[static compass]

It's on sight for Korshunov

[wide flume]

Real shit

[indigo marsh]

Duty has different attitudes depending on the region. In the rostok area and the border, it acts as a police force. Outside of that it fights the zone and bandits

[still ridge]

I bet we’re gonna have a lot of “random” encounters with Ward guys mugging poor rookies or free stalkers

[worn oar]

Mercs but military. That combo is itself toxic as hell

[still ridge]

Those bastards…

[static compass]

Wouldn't doubt it

[static compass]

Jeeeeez

[pseudo rivet]

Former mercs, but yes, just Duty posers but worse

[worn oar]

Possibly, but what I saw in the past trailers showed skif doing missions with them lmao

[static compass]

I bet they're also gonna protect (extort) a bunch of loner hubs

[celest blaze]

i hope we can protect loners

[still ridge]

You probably have to though before you can get a chance to turn against them

[static compass]

Free Stalkers rise up

[still ridge]

Same with the noon guys, Faust and Strider

[celest blaze]

ong'

[worn oar]

Again, they didn't say worst than duty, they said worst than military.

[pseudo rivet]

Hope Freedom is still like the previous games now that Mikluha's running the show

[still ridge]

Military was worse than duty so therefore ward < duty

[pseudo rivet]

Which is obvious worse than Duty

[static compass]

I was thinking to myself the other day, imagine if you fall asleep in the poppy field and you have some sort of anomalous nightmare

[pseudo rivet]

So yeah, that's another point for Duty being more based

[covert delta]

hell yeah, free stalkers WHERE YOU AT???

[still ridge]

Skif thinks he’s Maximus fr lol

[static compass]

[still ridge]

Gladiator larp

[worn oar]

You just have to be a freedom to the core right

[still ridge]

Duty redemption arc in S2

[wide flume]

Peak sky is gonna come in and safe the day

[static compass]

I'd like them more of they weren't so mean to me

[indigo marsh]

No

[celest blaze]

ong

[indigo marsh]

They are dead

[covert delta]

clear sky is LITERALLY dead

[pseudo rivet]

No, I like both, I just think that Duty is really put through the grinder in the Trilogy when it comes to what they do and how they were created

[still ridge]

Marvel ass moment where duty and freedom join forces to fight ward and sircaa

[celest blaze]

guys we are meming lol

[still ridge]

That would be epic (ass)

duty def gonna try and get rostok back

Without a doubt

[wide flume]

What if the imposter from among us kills ward in electrical

[covert delta]

id fw that

[pseudo rivet]

Would likely be a quest, yeah

[indigo marsh]

Unless they got a better base

[still ridge]

Unless they’re at Yaniv

[pseudo rivet]

I just wonder if we're going to see factions being more splintered apart

[static compass]

Captain America Civil War ahh moment

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be neat, tbh

[still ridge]

Man of balance is probably canon tbh

Crimson what do you think

[pseudo rivet]

X

I'm going with Freedom

Which would go so against what Degtyarev is, and yet...

[still ridge]

Why would deggy, a military man, side with anarchists

[somber hawk]

no duty ending is canon

[wide flume]

Cause he’s Chad

[still ridge]

Unless deggy didn’t gaf about the army and was just zone pilled

[somber hawk]

at jupiter

[still ridge]

I mean this is basically canon, he’s still in the zone as of the end of CoP

[static compass]

I'm coining the term Zonepilled if it wasn't already a thing

[pseudo rivet]

I don't see it either, and yet, I feel as if he did

[somber hawk]

is from the military and they help duty and vice versa or smth

[still ridge]

if he was military bootlicker I see him siding with duty

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely

[still ridge]

if he was truly zone pilled I see him siding with freedom

And if he was just le regular stalker before CoP I see man of balance

Him not wanting to get involved in faction affairs
