[lethal orchid]

What does SIRCAA stand for

[static compass]

Scientific Institute for Research of the Chornobyl Anomalous Area

[lethal orchid]

Does this acronym translate into Ukrainian well?

[rocky trellis]

Hermann is back, and he has another settlemen for us to rescue

[static compass]

It just translates to SIRCAA

[finite dragon]

Wow!! Hermann 🥰

[cyan canopy]

Gordon Freeman

[rocky trellis]

Surely we get back to helping him do these experiments?

Especially when there's very few people that can help him with them

[fallen folio]

I always knew the zone was caused by a resonance cascade

[glossy blade]

SIRCAA ate CIRCAA

[static compass]

Actually it would be СяРCAA I think

[finite dragon]

Major Degtyarev !? new zone!? no??

[somber hawk]

guys is it just me or does hermann look slightly like vsauce

[static compass]

We're not sure yet

[loud gate]

[lethal orchid]

[cyan canopy]

ngl Hermann looks hot in #📰┃announcement

[somber hawk]

young vsauce

[gilded flower]

He do look like Gorden Freeman

[cyan canopy]

he still had his mewing face

[finite dragon]

Heyhey! I want you to talk about Faust! 😭

[somber hawk]

he has became less fat now i think

[cyan canopy]

now we need half life refrence in stalker 2

or other game

[gilded flower]

Shadow of Chernobyl for example :
||Gorden Freeman Dead in electric tunnel of Wild Territory||

[rocky trellis]

an artifact that is a half life 3 disc, but when it's found it disappears?

[gilded flower]

but dunno what do devs exactly want here

[cyan canopy]

and Big Ben

[gilded flower]

yea

[rocky trellis]

finally found out why half life 3 is still not released

[cyan canopy]

we all know who he is..

yep Lord Gaben himself

[hardy bear]

So the background behind the game’s story is that skif found some kind of artifact outside of the zone

I was convinced he was an ex monolith, but apparently I was wrong

[warm linden]

anomalies have started showing up outside the zone which is a bit of a problem

[finite dragon]

All the characters that appear are cool. I think Major Degtyarev is also extremely good men.

[cyan canopy]

No Nimble that mean No Good

[tulip vapor]

Hermann looks like Danny Wallace

[lilac lily]

New Zone? Southern Comfort reference?!?!

[hardy bear]

A bit of a problem indeed

[finite dragon]

I'm just personally calling it that in comparison to Trilogy's Zone...

[somber comet]

Can't wait to kill Hermann

[cyan canopy]

kiss Hermann

[tulip vapor]

Zone 2: Electro Boogaloo

[cyan canopy]

[fair jackal]

hmm, trying to get the Trophy AK but none of the Stalkers have the mission

[somber comet]

I hate anomaly and gamma.
Id rather play Call Of Chernobyl or vanilla stalker.

Screw you.

And your "immersion"

[indigo marsh]

Bro that burger was bigger than his head

[still ridge]

Wow Hermann that’s such a bright idea. What could possibly go wrong?

[somber comet]

insert probably fighting the entire SIRCAA

[indigo marsh]

That means possible Herman team up

[finite dragon]

Just a cool fact: if Strelok survives CoP, then the ending slide says that SIRCAA was established

[rotund widget]

Not "if" — we see the SIRCAA being well-established, which means canonically Strelok survived & might be alive

[finite dragon]

Spoiler alert: Strelok is Scar

[rotund widget]

[still ridge]

No lol

[indigo marsh]

[still ridge]

Hermann gonna turn the zone into the the entire world

[finite dragon]

Man I wish I had the credentials needed to send an offer through jobs@gsc email to offer proofreading services

[indigo marsh]

Herman team up

[finite dragon]

But sadly I didn't even get a C1 English certification test, I just went into uni and said "yo I speak" and they let me in

[rotund widget]

They be letting anybody in at this point 😏

Given the feedback of those who played the demo it seems like Skif isn't particularly fond of Hermann, btw

I wonder if their relationship is about to evolve & in what ways

[fair jackal]

that bug that thing where you can´t draw a gun in a base is so dumb because it keeps making it so you can´t draw during base takeover missions

[somber comet]

GRANATA

[fair jackal]

i need to kill like another 2 bandits here but i can´t because of this issue

[somber hawk]

he actually seems like he could do that

[somber hawk]

.

[signal dove]

The twink's back and I want him NOW

[dense hatch]

twinks 4 zone

[somber comet]

I will personally rebuild the brain scorcher if you keep saying degenerate shit.

Stalkers like you bring shame to the zone and your faction, get out of here stalker.

[sand fiber]

shut the fuсk up weirdo

[hazy helm]

youre both weirdos

[somber comet]

Almost everyone here is weird

[somber hawk]

your'e all wierdos

[hazy helm]

[somber comet]

Boo hoo anyway I don't like the Monolith Faction.

[pseudo rivet]

Sadge, they're pretty based

[dense hatch]

[gilded flower]

We're sending you to brainscorcher

[somber comet]

I'd like you to try to reach darkscape then.

[hazy helm]

you need a psy radiation bath too ngl

🤷‍♂️ we should just ban half the server

[dense hatch]

we should just ban the server

[hazy helm]

completely right

[somber comet]

No this is the only place where I find quality stalker shitposts

[hazy helm]

quality
why do you lie

[somber comet]

Fine this is the only place where I find stalker shitposts

[dense hatch]

the reddit exists and 90% of the posts there should count

[somber comet]

I'd rather die than use reddit.

Let's just move to #💬┃en_offtop

[thick arrow]

why does hermann look like zelensky

[somber comet]

They asked him for the role trust

[thick arrow]

huh

i'd make a comment but considering the current political turmoil, i wont

[dense hatch]

he looks the same as he did in CoP except his lips aren't as full

[gilded flower]

I'm immune

[hazy helm]

you had your brained fried before we know

[gilded flower]

I entered darkscapes alot nothing new

[hazy helm]

quite noticeable

[gilded flower]

that's reason why I don't wear protection

[somber comet]

No brain no pain.

[gilded flower]

Who needs it anyway

[somber comet]

That's why you're a zombfied stalker.

[granite mortar]

[gilded flower]

at least I don't press F9 button every 10 seconds

[somber comet]

At least I can shoot accurately

[gilded flower]

meanwhile if you played SOC there is zombifieds in X16 aim better than Marked One himself which goes underline : Fresh_Zombified_Stalker

[somber comet]

Oh and at least my friends aren't only rock meatriders

[gilded flower]

to be more specific They wear freedom outfits

[silk sparrow]

i wear no outfit, i run naked

[fair jackal]

finally managed to kill all the bandits in the train depot but, of course, the mission doesn´t complete.

[hardy bear]

Might be one on the floor perhaps?

[polar orchid]

how many more days until the thing, you know the thing

[somber comet]

The true stalker

[gilded flower]

I wear wooden box

[fair jackal]

the map even said there wasn´t anyone near me when i was smack dab in the middle of the building so i loaded my save but it seems to still be the same issue now :/

[hardy bear]

Strange

[fair jackal]

sigh

[frigid badger]

Ebic

[gilded flower]

[frigid badger]

Reject leather jackets return to nakedness

[frigid badger]

Also how you doing egypt man

[fair jackal]

3rd time loading a save and now some Duty squad is having beef with Stalker squads moving for the Depot but they´re not supposed to be hostile towards each other. like, one Dutier is shooting over a box and the Stalkers are aiming at him as they walk past him

[frigid badger]

Average disagreements and how they end up

[gilded flower]

it's like Soc but after you disable brainscorcher

[frigid badger]

Could you also send me a link to the c consciousness server plis

[fair hatch]

Damn... the zone wasn't kind even to Hermman

[broken latch]

https://tenor.com/view/tuxedo-cat-uni-stare-look-cat-gif-10563445165587254274

Hello cats and stalkers

[limpid salmon]

wtf Zelesky in stalker?!

[sonic flax]

First we had people saying Dalin looks like Zelensky, now Hermann as well?
You gotta make up your minds, folks.

[dense hatch]

his lips are GONE

he used to have some real smoochers and they're just gone

[rocky trellis]

Can't say Clear Sky without ZelenSky

[keen turret]

I remember once the Strider trailer came out the second I saw Dalin I said "No way they added Zelensky"

[fair jackal]

do i even have to kill the bandits that did this because when i go to the Depot in open combat they despawn, then when i kill the last bandit combat stops, my gun is holsters because i´m in a base and then the like 3 in there respawn and turn hostile to me

and then the game won´t let me pull my guns out again.

[somber comet]

I cried when strelok said this is the end of your C-Consciousness

[sonic flax]

Yeah, I thought the exact same when I watched the Strider trailer for the first time lol

[fair jackal]

kinda thinking about if i should quit Clear Sky. it´s killing my desire to play with how buggy the missions are.

[silk sparrow]

games are for fun not for chores

[static compass]

Omg, car

[static compass]

Are.... are you talking about Hermann?

[silk sparrow]

who is zelesky?

[static compass]

Zelensky is the president of Ukraine lmaoooo

[silk sparrow]

no

[static compass]

Oh I see

[silk sparrow]

Zelenskyy is

[static compass]

[silk sparrow]

it is what it is

[static compass]

The second Y is optional I think

[keen turret]

That's stalker for you

[static compass]

I've seen it spelled both ways

[silk sparrow]

Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy

https://tenor.com/view/zelenszkij-zelenski-zelensky-ukraine-gif-25217874

[rocky trellis]

Meanwhile Runescape...
"How many hours would you like to spend grinding number go up?"
Players: "yes"

Not every game is all about fun, it's a massive generalization.

As long as you get something out of it in some shape or form

Is it fun getting bullied by FromStoftware bosses? No... but it's satisfying to finally beat them.

Is it fun to play horror games? Arguably hell not, depending on game far more stressful than fun

[dense hatch]

games are about having a good time which may or may not be fun

if you don't enjoy the experience it's not worth playing

[silk sparrow]

this is what i meant

no need to take word "fun" directly, but if your experience only bad, just take a break from game or dont play it.

[sand fiber]

experience can be bad, it's more about engagement if anything

[dense hatch]

the experience being bad would be if you both gained nothing from it and did not "enjoy" it

[silk sparrow]

yea

[dense hatch]

a game can be unfun but still enjoyable, therefore still has a good experience

[silk sparrow]

why force urself to do something if you dont enjoy

sometimes games has chapters of "bad experience" or "not enjoyable" parts which challanges you.

so you decide if you want to continue or not

[dense hatch]

like the boat section of half life 2 on replays

[silk sparrow]

its like driving small boat through toxic water cannals?

[dense hatch]

yeah it's driving with very few distractions for around an hour

[silk sparrow]

i kinda liked it because of those ramps you can jump 😄

[dense hatch]

I liked it on a first playthrough but it along with the entire intro always discourages me from replays

[rocky trellis]

Well... getting stuck on 1 boss for multiple days for sure is a bad experience, but there's only 1 way forward

[silk sparrow]

for me in general is difficult to replay games

[dense hatch]

getting stuck on a boss can be rewarding once you beat it

[pseudo rivet]

C&C4 kinda

[dense hatch]

the half life 2 airboat section puts me to sleep consistently

[dense hatch]

command and conquer?

[rocky trellis]

Try increasing or lowering tickrate, it will instantly become more interesting

[pseudo rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/heavy-is-dead-spy-engineer-correct-right-gif-26313261

[dense hatch]

I did not play any of the games

[pseudo rivet]

It's more, like, well, the game can be fun, but also can be a bit bland or just a bit awkward to work with. The concept is cool, but entirely misused. It's like liking the game for the concept it presents

That's why I always talk about how C&C4 Renegade would be a cool concept

[silk sparrow]

tf2 was such a good game

[dense hatch]

was?

[silk sparrow]

yea

[dense hatch]

did the servers shut down?

[rocky trellis]

Ehh... it's just not as good as it used to be

[silk sparrow]

isnt game full of bots now? also i played tf2 when it was with price tag. basicly in prime. so it was very nice.

[dense hatch]

nah they cleaned em out

[rocky trellis]

Bots are gone but I still prefer back when it didn't start competitive balance changes...

[dense hatch]

now the only issue is that sniper exists

[pseudo rivet]

Gotta love how this is #💬┃en_offtop at times

[silk sparrow]

so in stalker you kill bandits right?

[dense hatch]

THEY BROUGHT IT UP

[rocky trellis]

Don't worry, it will connect to stalker somehow somewhere

[pseudo rivet]

I mean, I'm guilty of it as well

[dense hatch]

stalker needs rocket launchers that aren't the classic rpg-7

[pseudo rivet]

With how often Fallout gets mentioned here, it's kinda unavoidable

[rocky trellis]

Well, when the game comes out doubt there's going to be much of off topic

[pseudo rivet]

Honestly? I doubt we'll see anything other than the RPG-7u

[dense hatch]

it's a shame

[pseudo rivet]

I wonder if we'll see more LMGs, though

That'd be neat

[dense hatch]

I'd like a new single shot grenade launcher

m-79 maybe

[rocky trellis]

RPGs are mostly meant to be anti tank weapons. Not exactly all that effective for fighting against humans, I mean, not any more effective than just regular grenade launcher

[pseudo rivet]

Meh, underbarrel grenade launchers exist

[dense hatch]

what if you don't have a gun that uses them, it's perfect for that

[pseudo rivet]

RPG-7u is the best sniper rifle in the game

[lilac lily]

Maybe they added fragmentational warheads

[pseudo rivet]

Get one that does or just create distance to give yourself more time? That or grenades

[dense hatch]

they should add acid rounds from resident evil

[lilac lily]

[rocky trellis]

artillery only run when?

[pseudo rivet]

YES PLEASE

[balmy forum]

Ya'll have no imagination, obviously the best method is to throw the grenade in the air an hit it like a baseball with ya gun

[dense hatch]

normal grenades aren't the same as underbarrel and making weapon variety possible/ encouraged is nice

[rocky trellis]

Also you can have molotovs. Who doesn't want their mutant pre cooked?

[pseudo rivet]

STALKER's RPG uses the OG-7V which is meant for anti-personnel

[dense hatch]

molotovs would be fun

[balmy forum]

Molotov launcher

[dense hatch]

low tier bandit throwables

[pseudo rivet]

Back-mounted Holy Water mortar launcher

[rocky trellis]

Not saying that it can't be used for that, but I don't think rocket launcher is even remotely the best option against infantry, even if you modify it for that

[pseudo rivet]

Because it's a great sniper rifle

[dense hatch]

because it's fun

[spring apex]

its a multi purpose in squad basically. anti armor/anti infantry. usually used in a group of team

[dense hatch]

screw those 8 people in particular

[rocky trellis]

Nothing more fun than saying "f*** it" after missing every shot and correcting that with an RPG

[dense hatch]

I just wish it wasn't as rare

[unique wave]

i must announce

clear sky was misunderstood

mic drop

[pseudo rivet]

Easy to buy in CoP

[dense hatch]

this server is like 90% CS supporters

[pseudo rivet]

Real

[dense hatch]

it's easy to get basically anything in CoP

[unique wave]

good

[rocky trellis]

If I recall right you can buy them after getting some achievements in stalker cop, but I might be remembering wrong. At very least was the case of RP-74

[pseudo rivet]

True

[spring apex]

lol true cs

[rocky trellis]

RP-74 isn't exactly the best weapon for much of anything, but at least it radiates massive pp energy going full auto

If there was a horde of mutants then maybe

[fair jackal]

up close it´s a monster.

[pseudo rivet]

Dude, it's a monster, both at close range and long range

CoP, at least

[spring apex]

dude it shreds pripyat-1. give a whole squad all rp-74

[rocky trellis]

more effective just 1 tapping the dome most of the time. For most mutants would still prefer predator or eliminator

[fair jackal]

i think it even seemed better in CoP than in Bugged Sky

[sand fiber]

false!

[dense hatch]

[rocky trellis]

except that big chonky health buffet... damn it has a lot of health

[unique wave]

that thing in clear sky was a monster istg

[pseudo rivet]

9x19mm JHP shreds through them

[dense hatch]

does anyone know why there's that one crate in garbage in CS

like is it a leftover from testing

[fair jackal]

crate?

[dense hatch]

*SoC had CS on the brain

if you don't know there's a crate at the top of a tower in SoC that has around 2000 rounds of 9x19mm JHP

[spring apex]

dual wield viper-5

[rocky trellis]

dev stash

[dense hatch]

is that confirmed or are you guessing

[rocky trellis]

No way that is a regular stash, just compare it to other stashes and what they give, it's very clearly an odd one out

[fair jackal]

what's in it

[dense hatch]

this

[pseudo rivet]

Oh, that crate

Not sure, tbh

Nice easter egg, maybe

[dense hatch]

it's player accessible and there's nothing cheeky around it

it's just in a tower in a normal crate

[spring apex]

nahh there is no info, really. its just randomly there.

[fair jackal]

oh i thought we were talking about CS, i do remember it in SoC

[broken latch]

Someone was preparing a stash

[fair jackal]

i do think it´s more than 1 crate and a lot of the ammo will stay up there it seems

[dense hatch]

you can still get like 500-1000 depending on luck

[broken latch]

Mostly around 800

I spend it so fast

[spring apex]

pray to the xray engine

[dense hatch]

I got like 600 once and then another time it glitched and I got all of it

[pseudo rivet]

You can buy a Gauss Rifle for 800 RU

[indigo marsh]

[lean quiver]

uh was Herman this young

[pseudo rivet]

[untold silo]

[pseudo rivet]

Dark Valley, at the pig farm

[untold silo]

[lean quiver]

Hopefully stalker 2 is not full of quriky characters

[untold silo]

It hopefully won't

[jaunty pebble]

Highly Experimental Weapon for a Satisfactory Deal!!!!!

[untold silo]

800 RU is a bargain tbh

[jaunty pebble]

At first when I heard about it, I thought it was a bait for ambush

[indigo marsh]

"STALKER 2 Currently Runs at 25 FPS on Series S, But Xbox Is Helping with Optimization; Devs Praise Their Support" tf? is this true? read too many articles with this title

i dont have an xbox but i feel bad for them

[granite mortar]

We saw Xbox gameplay and it was running at 60 fps

That may have been Series X tho
But thr difference isnt THAT big

[tall tree]

yeah but it wasnt on serie s

we talking about S not X

[granite mortar]

I doubt the difference is big enough for one to run it at 60 and other barely reaching 30

[tall tree]

what

whatever, imma go

[ruby warren]

Damn you scared him off

[granite mortar]

[loud gate]

Quality mode, yes.

the target for quality is 30fps afaik, which is standard, I guess

[rotund widget]

PS clout goblins have taken a single quote outta WCCFTECH interview & running around with it shaming Microsoft for the S-series, end of the story, lol

[fair jackal]

what PS is the Series S supposed to be?

like, spec wise

[broken latch]

For consoles lol

[loud gate]

And what do you think a Series S is?

[rotund widget]

Ofc most of them have forgotten to add the fact S2 is currently in its optimisation phase (which was clearly stated in the interview), tho clout seekers never cared

[broken latch]

Console players be like: human eye can't see more than 30 FPS

Also them when they look at 240fps gameplay

[ruby warren]

I only see in 1 frame per minute I’ll be fine

[indigo marsh]

The real question is why don't you have magic powers?

[granite mortar]

Because I have metal plate in my skull so demons cant enter

[indigo marsh]

For air power, use grenades. For artillery, use grenades. For ground forces, use grenades

[wide flume]

||peak sky||

[indigo marsh]

And can you guess what sniper should use?

[pseudo rivet]

RPG-7u, obviously

[indigo marsh]

This

[wide flume]

[indigo marsh]

It was a trick question

You would think grenades but then wouldn't it be just a ground force then

[karmic vale]

Idk im a kobold

[lean quiver]

Weirdo

[indigo marsh]

Wait so [] please is his first name with no middle or last

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[granite mortar]

Middle names are weird

[pseudo rivet]

STALKER controls are zased as fvck

[indigo marsh]

The only thing I change is the spirit and the quick medkit (and quick meds and quick health for CS)

[lean quiver]

what did that key in Clear Sky that was K or something that was something along the lines as give order or something

[pseudo rivet]

Mods fr

[fair jackal]

do you guys think that i should stop doing Faction stuff in CS or should i keep trying to make the Depot attack register when i play tomorrow? was really fed up with it earlier today.

[pseudo rivet]

Whatever you feel like

[indigo marsh]

Wait,So it became silversphere for some time?

Damn, I missed it all

[granite mortar]

Why does Sir Crispy hate me
I thought we are besties

[fair jackal]

it´s just that the first playthrough i did, i never joined any of the factions. but this time i have but it´s been so buggy.

[indigo marsh]

We call those chips in the USA

[pseudo rivet]

[granite mortar]

Chips?
You mean Fries

[granite mortar]

No name
Just title
So peak

[fair jackal]

i also tried to get the Trophy AK today but no one wanted to give me the mission for it.

[granite mortar]

Its last mission
You have to do all previous Cordon loner missions

[indigo marsh]

Omg it's !

[granite mortar]

And to start missions in one map, you have to complete the questchain you started in another

[pseudo rivet]

Hope you like it

[indigo marsh]

So I have to do all CS fetch quest before starting loner quests?

[granite mortar]

Yes
Now I will go sleep
And when I return

[fair jackal]

the only one they ask me to do it to take a bivuak or whatever it is but as soon as i do and i get paid they just walk down the hill back to base and then another group of mutants is spawned in to take it over again lol

but like so do you mean that until i have been able to win the faction war between the Stalkers and the Bandits, that i won´t be offered the mission to get the trophy AK? because that just sounds like i´m SOOL.

[exotic hamlet]

I did not know this community had so many gooners in it.

[dense hatch]

nah, only the unique quest

[dense hatch]

they're just quite loud

[exotic hamlet]

I'm scrolling through the member list and, at least with Freedom, like every other pfp was a furry or cropped anime content.

[fair jackal]

what unique quests do i need to do before then?

[dense hatch]

I think the detector, clearing the farm, and uh

I really can't remember I barely bother to do them

you need to help wolf?

[exotic hamlet]

Even Duty has a lot of mutant minglers and people who probably have PDAs that need to be searched amongst them.

[fair jackal]

Wolf is the guy at the village, i saved his brother from bandits, there´s more?

[lean quiver]

So is the demo at gamescon the full episode 1 or just a chunk

[exotic hamlet]

Oh no. That was MONOLITH with all the furries and anime people? You mean to tell me Freedom is worse?

[dense hatch]

can you quit yapping

[dense hatch]

first chunk apparently

I think someone mentioned it earlier

[dense hatch]

I'd honestly recommend just looking at the wiki

[exotic hamlet]

It's so much worse.

[dense hatch]

[spring creek]

[fair jackal]

I did but I don’t remember it saying anything about needing to do anything in order. I was reading the page on the gun.

[exotic hamlet]

Too much exposure to psi-radiation in the form of unfunny band kid coomer humor. I have become a zombie.

[fair jackal]

I’m off to have the wildest dreams possible, of Clear Sky not being buggy.

[exotic hamlet]

I think you just played SRP.

[fair jackal]

No but if I had known it would be like this I would have asked sooner if there was any mods for bug fixing etc.

[dense hatch]

nah I was trying to bait

[spring creek]

aaaahh hehe

[dense hatch]

but I don't really care enough to put effort into it

and I would rather actually do it with something I care about, like fo4 slander

[ornate rampart]

where can I get hold of a mod who is online? I have a suggestion about the discord but I'm not sure where to post it

[still ridge]

What’s up

[ornate rampart]

this is kinda silly but wanted to suggest adding a music bot like Jockie so we can have this 24/7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RpoqUw-UAc

or other stalker vibes songs

because it sets the mood while waiting for S2

[ivory nymph]

GSC, you can keep your news, annouces and stuff. You just teasing now. Its only been a few years of waiting, after false rumours, false starts, cancels and stuff.

[lean quiver]

Then why are you here bro lol

steam forums is next door

[celest blaze]

lol

[dense hatch]

it's either a bot or someone with the same level of intelligence given the twitch link in the bio

[hazy helm]

I mean... they are doing waht they are supposed to...and what ppl asked of them for years...

[ornate rampart]

confused S2 with GTA6 probably

[ivory nymph]

Twice in 1 day ive been called an alt.

[dense hatch]

it's the twitch link

no normal person has a twitch link in the bio

[ivory nymph]

Honestly dude. Its done* when its done. But my heart skips a beat everytime new announce pops up.

or the lack of one

[ivory nymph]

Twitch streamers aint normal.

[nova wedge]

Most arent

[ivory nymph]

and?

[hazy helm]

are you self reporting or self fladgelating or smth?

[ivory nymph]

im always self fladgelating. Thats my life story tbh

[hazy helm]

weird way of doing so

[nova wedge]

The algo there loves to bury good streamers tbh, unless you got your starts early its hard to fight against a legion of booba streamers and vtubers

[hazy helm]

it is not our fellow players who we should gatekeep, it is the twitch streamers

[ornate rampart]

it's not a secret that you have to work on yt first if you even want to get twitch working, cause no one will discover you otherwise, but that's just my 2 cents

[celest blaze]

i gatekeep CS haters

[nova wedge]

Oh for sure. Thats what my friend had to do. He was streaming for a while but not really any dice but he cut up a challange run he did into a video and now hes getting traction on YT

[ivory nymph]

Well im not a "twitch streamer" that wants to use the latest game to buff follows. Im a player and promoter of stalker from way back. GSC announced S2 and i started streaming.

[ornate rampart]

then why the hate?

the game is out soon

[ivory nymph]

Never hate

[iron roost]

is there any better texure mod for cop other than absolute structure?

[ivory nymph]

i remember the rumours and false starts. And then delays

[ornate rampart]

still, that doesn't matter anymore, why dig that up now

[ivory nymph]

wow guys, im not "against" you. Im a very old school gamer, had a PC, now have an xbox. I rinsed Cossaks, supcom, stalker back in the day. Dam i was on CS from 0.3

[ornate rampart]

it's just that your original comment wording was kinda weird and prone to misinterpretation, that's it

[ivory nymph]

then you are from US and UK humour goes right over your head

[ornate rampart]

wrong assumption, I'm from EU

[ivory nymph]

i am kinda wierd

[ivory nymph]

then you should have known it was full gest. Always will be.

Would it be possible to mount an aks74u rear sight on a pp19

[ivory nymph]

What the point of mounting a sight on AKsu, its like putting a scope on a shotty

[frank egret]

No like the rear sight of an aks74u on a pp19

Iron

[ivory nymph]

Is that the little ruski glock 18?

a full auto pistol with a silly stock?

Bad idea in the zone.

[still ridge]

No it’s not

AKS-74U can still hit targets at 300m

[ivory nymph]

so can a long shotty

you have 30 tries with AKsu tho. Something will hit it

but at 100m+ give me long cz AK74. On94

300m with aksu is just wasting ammo

[still ridge]

You’re underestimating it

[ivory nymph]

nah, i just drop it the moment i get man sized AK. It will 300m, if you ask it. But long AK74 hits everytime, hense not a waste of ammo

I dont know if this is the right chat to ask this but does anyone know if we're getting a restock of the ultimate edition of stalker2?

[frank egret]

No I meant a vityaz ak

[dense hatch]

nah

[acoustic rock]

That must be a record, 12 hours before first crash in Shadow of Chernobyl

[dense hatch]

now do CS

[acoustic rock]

Still gotta beat Shadow

It's, not exactly that hard? At least not to the extend people hype it to be

[dense hatch]

yeah stalker in general isn't really difficult once you get used to it

[acoustic rock]

Oh and corrupting 4 hours worth of saves; now that's classic Stalker

[dense hatch]

I've only had issues with save corruptions with standalone mods

[acoustic rock]

Say, where is the crash log for Shadow?

[dense hatch]

I didn't think there was one, for vanilla

probably somewhere in the game files but that's not really helpful

[cyan canopy]

In documents,Stalker SOC and appdata

[dense hatch]

just kinda wave off crashes over here

[acoustic rock]

I mean, If I could figure out why the save won't load, it'd save me 4 - 5 hours

[finite dragon]

I have something to question about. How old are Scar and Faust? In CS, Scar was sometimes called "old man" by Bandits...

In particular, has Faust ever been married?

[worn oar]

[old jungle]

Sakharov also called him "young man"

[cyan canopy]

Hmm.. Scar almost resembles to the Stalker.

In the movie

[finite dragon]

If I'm not mistaken, Scar's appearance (age) in the game was originally a young man. I think it might be an error in the dialog.

[old jungle]

or it's a matter of perspective

[finite dragon]

In the mod that can be changed to TPS, Scar's appearance was a common Loners.

[prisma goblet]

You need a quest to bring lucky detector, once you complete that, ask another group of loners and they will give different quest, continue like this until you get Trophy AKM quest

[grim palm]

Sold out

[fiery tundra]

Already?

[grim palm]

Doubt they restock

[fiery tundra]

I thought you couldn’t even order it yet

[grim palm]

It was sold out in 2021

and then they did a re-run. That also sold out

[fiery tundra]

What

[grim palm]

With even some saying they've had their order cancelled

[fiery tundra]

How?

do you mean people ordered a product almost 3 years ago and they still haven’t even gotten it?

[grim palm]

Game isn't out yet

and yes

[fiery tundra]

😐

[worthy lagoon]

The game is not released yet

[fiery tundra]

I know lol

I just mean the fact they allowed people to buy it

3 years in advance

That’s a bit much

[grim palm]

delays weren't planned

well, they were. But initially the game was to be released in 2022

[worthy lagoon]

The game was delayed several times

[grim palm]

I think we have a better game for it

[fiery tundra]

Awww

Why do I have to kill Duty to do this lol. I don’t know if I want to do that as idk if I can rejoin or even be on good terms with Duty if I do that.

[sly matrix]

Killing 2 squads is 1,5 bar in reputation at most

Just make a hard-save before trying it so you can go back if you don't like the trade-off

mannn, i had hoped this time it would work because the stalkers made their way to the Depot and attacked together with me and pushed in then started killing the important bandits while i was forced to holster but now nothing is happening and i´m pretty sure we killed them all

look for every corner of that big hallway (with hills and stuffs). there is a openable door. it looks very vague soo yah

We are crying

Always remember to read the comments in the thread, as sometimes these kinds of posts might spread some inaccurate info: for example, here it says "the quest markers are no longer seen on the map in PDA", while we did see them being there in the Deep Dive. My guess would be the author just accidentally toggled em markers off in the PDA without recognising it 😁

[clever needle]

Maybe gsc changed it

I hope they didnt

[rotund widget]

I rly doubt it. It would've been a strange design choice to say the least 😅 I'm pretty sure the author just toggled em off on accident and didn't notice it (there was an option to toggle everything off in the OG trilogy, so won't be surprised if the option's still there).

[clever needle]

Yeah

I just got attacked by 5 bloodsuckers

[fair jackal]

got the Trophy AKM, what ammo should i even be using in it since it can take the normal round that the PKM takes

[granite mortar]

just use whatever you can get
theres a big 7.62x54 stash in Red Forest
will come in handy for Limansk

[fair jackal]

i know that you get 2k of the ones the PKM takes, just wondered if the stats are better on the boxes with a yellow line around

[granite mortar]

yellow are APs no?

[fair jackal]

not like, certain since that´s what the SVD takes

but i have 2 different stacks of the yellow lined boxes

but they say the same thing

[sly matrix]

You cam try if the crosshair chages between ammotype

[fair jackal]

supposedly there´s 4 types of 54R in CS

only seen 3 so far.

the standard only used in the PKM normally, is the 7.62 PP.

and they´re the same stats wise according to the Wiki, as the 7.62x54mm 7N1

is there any known issues with CS freezing up when attacking the Depot? i just had it happen now 2 times in a row but it didn´t before

Sometimes repeatable crashes happen at random points

It opens the task manager

Back when Goldsphere was commonly mistranslated as Golden Balls

[indigo marsh]

I love how Chymo is being name abused by everyone

[pseudo rivet]

Literally how tho? Bro is just [ Goldsphere ]

[sly matrix]

Speaking of, when you have bandits taking over the duty base, how do you prevent duty from respawning inside an coming out?

[pseudo rivet]

I don't

But Duty won't fight them as long as I'm not at Agroprom

SurDno didn't know it was actually even possible

[sly matrix]

It's weird, a freedom squad in the base prevents duty from exiting, but bandits don't

[pseudo rivet]

It doesn't for either

I do have this weird anomaly with Freedom, though

If Freedom comes to the base to take it, they suddenly turn hostile

[indigo marsh]

Is that an anomaly reference

[sly matrix]

Oh that *is weird

The k waves have affected

[pseudo rivet]

Pretty funky

[sly matrix]

Right now I have the rookie village empty and nothing spawning in because the loners are at max capacity from spawns in yantar. I'm hoping mutants will move in as Matt showed us so the spawn is blocked altogether

[pseudo rivet]

I managed to finally captured that spawn point, but, well, I have to redo it all again

[sly matrix]

Yeah bandits seem to be willing to go to yanter, but anything south of the cordon railway they won't touch

Except maybe the exit to the dark valley

Pinch, Punch first day of the month (From where I am)

[pseudo rivet]

I haven't been able to try out capturing the rest, unfortunately

[jaunty pebble]

I see. I think these bugs are already fixed but were not implemented to the demo, the gameplay and the game still feeling like the STALKER is a total win

I was afraid of the possibility of the gameplay being too modernized until its no longer STALKER, but Deep Dive made me sure it wasn’t and the Demo impressions make me be happy

[rocky trellis]

At least to me atmosphere of the first game and pripyat is quite different, for large part due to the design on the safe area and the area around it

in the first 2 levels, the safe area creates a great contrast between safe/relaxing and unsafe/stressful

I remember when I first played didn't really want to leave the ship at all and go outside where the spooky mutants roam around 😂

Took a while between every mission to recharge my batteries

[ruby warren]

Lack of impact? So do the enemies not flinch when you shoot them and just tank it like they're terminators?

[rocky trellis]

even their older games have stagger mechanism... would be weird if there's nothing similar in stalker 2

[mental vigil]

Brand spanking new lol

[still ridge]

Haha

[ruby warren]

Part of SoCs charm is figuring out the lore as you go imo

[old jungle]

then what are you waiting for

[granite mortar]

I will Grok you

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, I can definitely recommend playing the games. Part of the experience is uncovering all the lore NOT mentioned by the wiki or loretubers

[mental vigil]

Where do I start? I’m on console Xbox series X

[pseudo rivet]

Legends of the Zone

[jaunty pebble]

Legends of The Zone version should be on Series X

[old jungle]

Shadow of Chornobyl

[granite mortar]

with Shadow of Chernobyl

[pseudo rivet]

Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and then Call of Pripyat

[ruby warren]

Do yourself a favor and turn off aim assist tracking immediately when you boot it up on xbox

[still ridge]

Legends of the zone bundle I think @mental vigil

[mental vigil]

That bad?

[ruby warren]

The aim assist is fine, but headshots are king in this game and the tracking makes it stick your aim to the body

[fair jackal]

well god damnit, leaving Duty for the Stalkers makes them not wanna sell me the ammo they used to

[ruby warren]

I beat the trilogy on xbox, you're in for a good time homie

[mental vigil]

Sweet! Is that what you use to play? Looks like it just released earlier this year

[mental vigil]

Sweetttt

[still ridge]

The games are from 2007-2009

Most of us played on steam

[ruby warren]

Save every 5 seconds though, the games are pretty prone to crashing, especially clear sky on xbox

[pseudo rivet]

Legends of the Zone is from this year, but it's basically the old games ported over to other consoles

[still ridge]

Yeah the Xbox version is a port of the original games, which are old and come with some jank, especially on consoles

[jaunty pebble]

With some fixes aswell

[still ridge]

still gems though

[mental vigil]

Sorry meant like is what you play on now but wasn’t sure if PC

[mental vigil]

I play DAYZ no worries

[celest blaze]

i remember how janky console dayz was lol

[jaunty pebble]

LOTZ edition is basically the PC Versions of the OG 3 games but with some fixes aswell

[mental vigil]

One my favorite games of all time, start last year and it’s just

Addicting and love able

[mental vigil]

Ahh I see!

[jaunty pebble]

And said fixes are still not on PC

[pseudo rivet]

Do you have a general idea of what STALKER's gameplay is like?

[mental vigil]

With space marines 2 coming out, metal gear solid snake eater and HEART OF CHORNOBYL

I am trying to see which to dedicate my time to lol

[mental vigil]

Unforgiving

[ruby warren]

Marines in Space 2s gonna take up all my time next month

[pseudo rivet]

[mental vigil]

[mental vigil]

[pseudo rivet]

[pseudo rivet]

27 bucks. I'm not even kidding

[mental vigil]

Looks really good for that price

[mental vigil]

I actually bought the M70 Tundra IRL since I loved it so much in game

Kinda worried what stalker will do to me when I see items in game 👹

[celest blaze]

i wish i could buy the AN-94 from playing the trilogy but i have no clue how to even get one here lol

[mental vigil]

Where are you based? I’m here in Texas so you could get almost anything here 😂

[loud gate]

#💬┃en_offtop

[fair jackal]

apparently a faction's progress seems to be reset if you leave them then rejoin them lol..

[sly matrix]

Oh, what did it do to the mexican stand-off at the depot?

[mental vigil]

Thanks everyone for the info!! Very welcoming 🤙

[granite mortar]

you cant

I doubt they even export working versions

you can get demilitarised ones tho

[indigo marsh]

You guys know the bandits keeping hound hostage?

So when I shot one of them with a shotgun they all disappeared

[granite mortar]

yes
Im "the bandits"

[indigo marsh]

No

You are [AsmonGoldsphere]

[fair jackal]

i think there stalkers there stayed and might have fought the bandits after those respawned.

it´s super annoying that the bandits can shoot your straight though the gate

and i´m also experiencing that being at the depot will crash the game or something, it freezes up and stops listening to any commands like if try to shut it down.

[sly matrix]

Yeah killing them with the gste closed is annoying

[fair jackal]

never had any issues with the game freezing up until today :/

[sly matrix]

It's actually supposed to be open at this stage of the faction war

[indigo marsh]

I tried it again and when they see me they disappear

[sly matrix]

So something weird is going on on your side

[fair jackal]

i just rejoined duty

Duty's progress seemed reset.

but because i left Duty they don´t wanna sell me the good things.

[celest blaze]

[finite dragon]

PS4, PS5 Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat

[fair jackal]

i´m starting to regret having left Duty in the first place now because i feel like the thing that was bugged before with them not sending people to hold a spot is still an issue

[loud grotto]

How can you wound a stalker

[still ridge]

You can’t

It’s not just some AK

[loud grotto]

I want to take one

[naive moth]

ok

[cold frost]

Homie is crying (in article) just thinking about performance being 25FPS on the Xbox Series S even though devs already mentioned they're working on it

https://fandomwire.com/that-is-highly-unacceptable-stalker-2s-coming-under-fire-after-fps-revelation-angers-fans/

Like bro it's not our fault you bought the cheapest console available. That's like buying a cheap gaming laptop and mad it won't run the newest games on the highest FPS

[granite mortar]

I saw lot of people crying because they didnt choose adequate hardware or treat it poorly and it doesnt perform well

[cold frost]

Like I really just want to make an X account now to reply to him lol

[granite mortar]

usualy its "booohooo laptop manufacturers cant make good vents because when I run cyberpunk on max details this 2 centimeters thick device cant cool itself"
Cheap consoles are new to me

[still ridge]

Series S moment

[celest blaze]

i think the series S is weaker then the xbox 1 X

[granite mortar]

doesnt it cost like 200 bucks?

[still ridge]

On Twitter it’s all Sony console war children going apeshit about Xbox and Microsoft

Nothing about the game

lol

[celest blaze]

lol

they should just buy a pc tbh

[granite mortar]

Microsoft master race

[cold frost]

Series S when it came out was like 400. If you know where to look you can buy a near new one for 150 USD

[celest blaze]

i have PC, Series X and and xbox 1 S

[granite mortar]

damn
who could have guessed that a console with price of single low-midrange GPU wont run triple A games on 60fps

[celest blaze]

hell even the series x couldnt do 4k 60fps

[granite mortar]

I doubt any console can do 4K 60fps

[celest blaze]

you need big power for that kinda stuff

[cold frost]

According to the ranter he prob wants Xbox Series S to do 8K 120FPS ☠️☠️☠️

[celest blaze]

[cold frost]

All for less than 200 USD

[silk sparrow]

bro this channel is so offtopic
