clever verge
#

Any progress on that?

tired anvil
#

i think the russians are getting somewhere further than the english speakers but other than that its pretty much at a stale spot

clever verge
#

Wish i could help, but i'm too dumb for this stuffs.

tired anvil
#

same sadly

buoyant loom
#

What would be cool IMO would be a core character and storyline in an inexpensive game, and annual character+storyline DLC releases. Each one a full campaign. 2020 you're playing Nimble. 2021 you're playing Wolf's Story. 2022 we get to play as Ghost. 2023 we get to play as Fang with a major game engine update.

tired anvil
#

im not a big fan of dlc

#

could be interesting but i doubt stalker fans would want dlc

finite dragon
#

An inexpensive game that can be modded would be great. Dlc would be extra costs I'm not sure I would buy

gaunt merlin
#

THE SERIES IS ON SALE

#

HERE’S MY CHANCE

#

F****** YES

tired anvil
#

you mean youve never played it?

#

@gaunt merlin

gaunt merlin
#

nope

#

i have never touched stalker ever in my life

#

i’ve been meaning to since i love metro

tired anvil
#

howd you find out about it?

#

also what region are you in since its not on sale for me

gaunt merlin
#

it’s on sale on Indiegala

#

i’m NA

#

found out about stalker through metro

#

should i buy the games individually or just get the bundle?

tired anvil
#

bundle is cheaper but you dont really support the devs using a 3rd party site

#

so whatever works best for you

gaunt merlin
#

damn, wish it’d support them but at least i’ll be supporting indiegala 😃

#

if the bundle is cheaper i’ll just get that then

#

is it just as easy to mod with the bundle?

tired anvil
#

the bundle is literally all 3 games

#

just packed into 1 for faster purchasing

#

it will be identical as to buying them 1 by 1

gaunt merlin
#

ah okay sweet

#

ty ty

glad cave
#

Whats even the best AR in SOC other than the 2000 or whatever its called?

tired anvil
#

not gonna lie i liked the ak

#

and the one thats like black with bandages wrapped around it, dont recall its name

glad cave
#

The PN94?

#

I kinda liked it, but against the OSS in the arena, it was a painful experience

#

OSSN? whatever, the ultra spetnaz guys

#

The AS VAL seems like a pretty good weapon but like... The ironsights are kinda chunky and the ammo is heavy and not plentiful

tired anvil
#

SA Avalanche

glad cave
#

Send an image to me of it

finite dragon
#

this one?

#

an94 is really cool irl

tired anvil
#

nah

#

wait

#

yeah the ak

#

thought you were talking about the other one for a sec

finite dragon
#

forgotten weapons has a video about it

plucky root
#

Hello!

gaunt merlin
#

just bought the stalker bundle!!!!!!!!!

plucky root
#

noice

gaunt merlin
#

what should i do before i jump into SoC for the very first time?

plucky root
#

I'm not sure, there's Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat.

gaunt merlin
#

are there any expectations i should have?

#

anything i should download beforehand?

#

anything at all?

plucky root
#

You don't need to download anything as far as I know. Where did you get it from? Steam?

gaunt merlin
#

yup, Steam

#

bought the key from Indie Gala

plucky root
#

Then you don't really need to download any other thing

#

Just download the games and you're all set

gaunt merlin
#

cool. highest difficulty correct?

#

i hear it's a must to play the games on that

#

so you can actually deal damage

plucky root
#

I mean... It's up to you, really.

gaunt merlin
#

got it

#

also, ODST is the best

plucky root
#

c:

gaunt merlin
#

rip rookie

#

plucky root

f

gaunt merlin
#

should i install ZRP 1.09 or 1.07?

plucky root
#

?

gaunt merlin
#

@plucky root zone reclamation project

#

different versions

#

i'll do 1.07

plucky root
#

Oh

gaunt merlin
#

since 1.09 is experimental

plucky root
#

I'm only familiar with Call of Chernobyl

finite dragon
#

I'm pretty new to the series and am almost finished with Shadow of Chernobyl. Is there anywhere I can learn about the lore, because I think I might be out of the loop

#

I'm really enjoying the game so far and it's now one of my favorite games, beat only by every game in the Half-Life series.

plucky root
#

I'm more of a Halo fan, as evident in my pfp. But I have a special place in my heart for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

finite dragon
#

I think halo might be a bit better, I only beat Halo:CE recently and havent gotten around to halo 2

plucky root
#

I've played a majority of the Halo games. I pretty much grew up with the franchise lol

#

I do wonder what other standalone STALKER mods are there besides Call of Chernobyl

gaunt merlin
#

damn, i thought that since i love metro id enjoy this game but i find it really frustrating :/

#

the gunplay is so atrocious...

#

the discrepancy in health and accuracy between me and enemies is ridiculous

#

yeah, this is awful... (imo)

finite dragon
#

Do you use grenades?

#

Do you use cover?

#

Stalker isnt call of duty...

potent bluff
#

I think stalker has the most realistic gun recoil. Better than other games

celest flame
#

@potent bluff the x-ray engine is pretty solid for realism and smooth gun fight gameplay. don't forget to prone while shooting.

#

@gaunt merlin the gameplay differences you are feeling are understandable. it's a different game style entirely from metro. or any other game I can think of. I would not recommend the 'misery' mod for you. as it adds lots of frustrating fun to the game, after you've mastered the base game would be a good time to try it out. Just don't give up!

celest flame
#

^ thanks for this, first time seeing it!

robust forge
#

As for anomaly, wait for 1.5 to come out of beta

#

I certainly do

celest flame
#

oh, it's a recent mod? even better 😄

robust forge
#

Not really

#

But it got a new update

#

Which is in beta phase

gaunt merlin
#

@finite dragon >cover

yes

nades

yes

glad cave
#

Ok what difficulty are you playing on and weapons are you using? Are you letting your reticle reset or spamming like a moron? Crouching?

#

Are you even good at shooters? Unlike Metro, pretty much no weapons in SoC are laser beams designed to kill anything instantly

#

Additionally, whats the condition of your weapons? At what range are you engaging?

shrewd dagger
#

lol @ people who find stalker hard

#

you're probably naked fighting armored soldiers hence that discrepancy

#

also if you picked the hardest difficulty and expected even balance in any shooter then I don't know what to tell you

magic pawn
#

Morning here, i finished both games, and wanna start playing with CoC Yopu guys have any reccomendations? I love something that adds red dot sights as well.

robust forge
#

both?

magic pawn
#

yeah the games i was told to play were, SoC and CoP

#

Steer clear of clear sky

robust forge
#

mhm, ok. Your choice

magic pawn
#

is clear sky good?

robust forge
#

depends

#

its very unpolished

#

but its still a gem

magic pawn
#

Alright, so if i wanted to start with CoC what are some addons that id like?

#

or better yet best ones in your opinion.

#

R6? or r7?

robust forge
#

I mean

#

I wouldn't start with CoC tbh

#

It's just a base

#

If you still want to just find some modpack

#

If you speak russian just pick stasonium

magic pawn
#

im american

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

You onow

#

Play something like The Last Day, Anomaly, Road to the North or Dead Air

magic pawn
#

hmmm why not CoC?

robust forge
#

It's very rough

#

It's like CoP but with all locations

#

But if you really want to play CoC find some modpack

#

My friend was making one but I think he cancelled it

plucky root
#

Are there other standalone mods like CoC?

magic pawn
#

Dead Air

#

Anomaly all i can think of.

#

@robust forge might know more.

robust forge
#

I don't really know which ones are standalones

#

I guess DA and anomaly

#

Because both have odd installing process

#

I don't know if RttN and TLD are standalones

magic pawn
#

CoC is very popular but the installation on arsenal overhaul are confusing

robust forge
#

You can use STCoP aswell

#

It's more quality > quantity

magic pawn
#

Call of Pripyat?

robust forge
#

STCoP for CoC

magic pawn
#

so absolute nature can be used?

#

and atomosfear compatible?

robust forge
#

I think

#

I'm not really that into addons

glad cave
#

@shrewd dagger the game even at master diff is pretty balanced

#

Imo my biggest issue is just some guns are flat out unusuable cause they're so bad, like the Deaglr

#

Couldn't kill a pseudodog if I used an entire mag but I can one shot it with a fucking makarov lol

magic pawn
#

@glad cave what about you my dude? Any reccomendations after ive beat the core games to start off with for mods?

glad cave
#

Honestly, haven't played all the games or all the mods myself

magic pawn
#

Theres just so many of them. lol

glad cave
#

You could try Paranoia :p

#

Though thats more of a half life mod in the xray engine

#

Still a bit of Russian horror though

magic pawn
#

hmmm any other place or discords to discover good mods?

glad cave
#

You could always just try going to moddb and sorting by top and trying what peaks yer fancy

#

And theres a channel for asking about mods

finite dragon
gaunt merlin
#

i wasn’t hostile towards anyone

plucky root
#

Always quicksave before you get in a difficult firefight

gaunt merlin
#

@shrewd dagger “... are you spamming like a moron?”

“Are you even good at shooters?”

You: “lol @ people who find stalker hard” (strawman)

“also if you picked the hardest difficulty and expected even balance in any shooter then I don't know what to tell you” (not an expectation i had at all)

shrewd dagger
#

Did you pick master difficulty

gaunt merlin
#

yes. i did. i was told it’s best for a first playthrough to alleviate bullet-spongyness

shrewd dagger
#

Luckily you can change it at any time

gaunt merlin
#

well ofc, but if changing it increases bullet spongyness, then it looks like this is as good as it’ll get

glad cave
#

I asked because the way STALKER difficulty works is that bullets are deleted from existence the lower the diff. I asked if you're good at shooters because STALKER simply isn't as simple and straightforward as other shooters like METRO, despite being from 2007.

#

Both of these things can massively impact your STALKER experience and overall playstyle

shrewd dagger
#

I honestly don't recommend vanilla stalker ever

gaunt merlin
#

i’m excellent at shooters. the problem isn’t my accuracy or positioning. it’s the insane amount of health enemies and the god awful weapon spread

glad cave
#

Again. What weapons are you using and what ammo. It depends bruh

shrewd dagger
#

You should use Oblivion Lost 3.1

glad cave
#

If you're using an mp5 against exos, of course you're going to fail

#

An ak47 SMG against Spetnaz? Of course you'll fail

#

Deagle against anything? Might as well just play another game

shrewd dagger
#

Not sure how OL3.1 balance is by default though

tired anvil
#

ngl i liked the viper

glad cave
#

I did too

#

It was nice, but I found better weapons eventually

tired anvil
#

same

gaunt merlin
#

i’m just starting the game so it’s an mp5 and ak against bandits

shrewd dagger
#

I took agroprom primarily with the PM

glad cave
#

Yeah, so that part of the game near Agropom is going to be quite difficult for you unless you're very resourceful, conservative, and good at the game. Additionally, do spray in the game. Ever. Theres bloom and you lose out on the perfect accuracy of a one or triple tap.

gaunt merlin
#

also are medkits supposed to be this scarce?

#

i only have one left

plucky root
#

Never run and gun.

rain dock
#

medkits are not scarce, the beginning of the game is just really hard but you'll start finding them like candy if you explore more.

glad cave
#

And they're ultra cheap

#

It sounds insane, but you just gotta stop getting shot

#

You see Nerf, you're problem is that you haven't achieved The True Man's World yet

#

You'll get there eventually, and then you'll be a master STALKER

gaunt merlin
#

why can i not play a single 10 year old+ game without stuttering every 5 seconds

#

holy shit

#

it was not this bad yesterday

#

whatever

#

back to new game+ on metro exodus

#

lul

glad cave
#

Eeeeewwwwww

#

I'm getting baited into someone talking about a stalker clone trom disheveled Bolsheviks

shrewd dagger
#

Exodus is meh

#

And I don't get stuttering

#

Even in CoC

#

Enjoy your clunky game with like 6 guns max lol

glad cave
#

I'm on w10 and using a mod and steam overlay and i dont even stutter

#

Is Nerf trolling confirmed?!?!?! Banned CONFIRMED?!?!?!?!?!?!!????!?!??!

robust forge
#

My pc stuttered very hard on Anomaly 1.4

#

Idk about 1.5

finite dragon
#

does anyone know any coop mods for stalker

robust forge
#

There is supposedly one in progress of being made

#

But unfortunately there are none working

grizzled tusk
#

L

robust forge
#

Oh kuro

grizzled tusk
#

Hello.

robust forge
#

Do you remember the old times?

grizzled tusk
#

Yes.

#

Ah, what a depressing time it was.

finite dragon
#

there xrMPE and ROH

#

but theyre not playable yet

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

Both are wip

silver arrow
#

Playable

#

But not for all now

robust forge
#

Good old merit

finite dragon
#

also im pretty sure roh is a scam because roh has had many years for this and a pretty pro team for coding stuff

#

but xrMPE has existed for a few months and already has almost the same amount of content

#

by coop and multiplayer wise

silver arrow
#

It's not a good point to compare xrMPE and RoH

#

On the start point yes, they can be compared

#

But now RoH it's a game, not even a mod

#

With all custom parts, not just multiplayer

strange horizon
#

Hope we will one day play this game... long time waiting

finite dragon
#

well roh litterally has two people making it now and a patreon with barely any progress

silver arrow
#

You're not right
I'm patron and I saw it and has access to their patreon
And also I know Stalkmen and other team members

#

I guess you have and out-dated info

#

and*

#

an*

finite dragon
#

k

#

but still they started it in 2017

grizzled tusk
#

Wait, what's the name of the song that you can play at the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 page?

finite dragon
#

and in my opinion progress has slowed down alot

#

wasnt there a mod called stalker online

silver arrow
#

I have to agree with you on the one point

finite dragon
#

ment for coop

silver arrow
#

They didn't show a lot of content since.. 2017

#

But they made a lot of changes and a big progress on the code/engine level

#

I know what I'm saying

finite dragon
#

u sure

#

???

silver arrow
#

100%

#

Do you know they started work on the new scripting-system?

finite dragon
#

im seriously amazed if they get this done by 2030

#

thats how slow i think progress is going

robust forge
#

What will be fiest

finite dragon
#

and no i didnt know

robust forge
#

Roh or Stalker 2

finite dragon
#

stalker 2 will come first

robust forge
#

What if

#

Roh was stalker 2 all along

finite dragon
#

it isnt

robust forge
#

But hey

#

It's just a theory

#

A gay theory

#

Also yeah

#

I hope for the best for roh

#

But again

#

As for stalker 2 aswell

#

It's just hope

silver arrow
#

imho, even if s2 will be released earlier than roh, i guess not so much earlier

#

Because..
I have a few thoughts on this

#

My guess, they are different projects

#

And another guess

#

RoH is a S2

grizzled tusk
#

You think S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will be a Epic Store exclusive, @robust forge?

robust forge
#

I hope not

grizzled tusk
#

Wait, what engine is the game going to be using?

finite dragon
#

unreal 4 or a upgrade xray probs

#

i just want to play stalker shoc or cs or cop

#

also stalker wil release in 2019 or 2020 probs not 20 21

#

so the thing on the roh site is wrong about 2021

grizzled tusk
#

L

finite dragon
#

im sad

#

i want to play coop stalker

#

and have the game be extremly glitchy but not at the same time

gaunt merlin
#

@glad cave >stalker clone

plays nothing like stalker and has a completely different atmosphere with the only similarities being both set in russia with russian characters (mutants too though that’s not an original concept)

#

@shrewd dagger i haven’t found it to be clunky, and the guns are incredibly fun to use!!!

glad cave
#

stalker clone in the fact its an open world game set in a shitty rundown post ussr world in an area thats pretty much shit and you play and essentially universal jesus

#

also, the gunplay isn't clunky, its just boring

shrewd dagger
#

Movement/climbing is clunky

glad cave
#

not clunky, just weighty and boring

#

russian call of duty, for the nonstalkers

shrewd dagger
#

Your character in Exodus doesn't automatically step over small ledges or pieces of rubble he should automatically step over, resulting in him getting stuck constantly

#

AI in the game is also retarded, worse than the previous Metros

#

All the time I was playing Exodus I thought to myself how the gameplay is largely a discount version of stalker

#

Similarly sized levels yet nothing like A-Life for humans, you will only get into combat with humans at predictable intervals that won't change on a replay

#

Broken AI and only like 6 guns

glad cave
#

you have to press e to climb ladders lol

shrewd dagger
#

I understand that decision at leasy

#

Least

gaunt merlin
#

@glad cave >open world
metro isn’t open world

gunplay isn’t clunky, its just boring
laughs in diverse range of weapon classes with different feedback and sound design
weighty and boring
i’ve yet to see stalker do anything good in terms of movement. you run awkwardly as fast as a cheetah and jumps are far enough to qualify for the olympics
russian call of duty
lol
you have to press e to climb ladders
i like not being forced into a climbing animation by mistake simply for passing by a ladder

glad cave
#

exodus

gaunt merlin
#

@shrewd dagger >resulting in him getting stuck constantly
not once did i get stuck

AI in the game is also retarded
since i played the game stealthfully, i can’t critique this, though i never noticed the AI being obviously terrible
the next couple of paragraphs are comparing apples to oranges, so calling the game “discount stalker” is disingenuous
6 guns
9 guns, all with incredibly different handling and sound design. no two act or sound the same.

glad cave
#

phew alright now that i have a moment

#

exodus is open world, if weapons were different then there wouldn't need ot be different weapons, everything feels more grounded than a ps2 tank control games, most weapons are instakill perfect accuracy weapons, and stupid cinematic styled interactivity from the awkward xbox era is stupid and backwards

#

sound design and different handling also doesnt mean something is good. graphics and pure individualism is not a true merit to base actual gameplay on

gaunt merlin
#

@glad cave >exodus is open world
no it isn't. the game is overall linear with large levels.

if weapons were different then there wouldn't need ot be different weapons, everything feels more grounded than a ps2 tank control games
what does this even mean
most weapons are instakill perfect accuracy weapons
huh, almost like that's how weapons should work? you know, without rng?
stupid cinematic styled interactivity from the awkward xbox era is stupid and backwards
i have no clue what you're saying
sound design and different handling also doesnt mean something is good
never said it made it good. i implied that it makes it so there's a lesser chance of gunplay being boring, since no two guns act or sound the same.
graphics and pure individualism is not a true merit to base actual gameplay on
graphics? individualism? who the hell brought that up? lol

glad cave
#

ok so what im seeing is half of your response is ignorance and admitting it doesnt mean something it good or not understanding complexity or design choices

i stand unopposed upon the apex once more

gaunt merlin
#

@glad cave great, so you neither answered nor elaborated/clarified on anything

shrewd dagger
#

AI is worse than the previous games for stealth too, since in a few spots they can see right through solid objects

#

And comparing A-Life to the absence of it isn't apples to oranges

#

Exodus has something like it for mutants but not humans

#

Really dumb design

verbal slate
#

To be honest, I am disappointed in Metro Exodus.

shrewd dagger
#

A lot of people were

#

Artyom being a mute also breaks the narrative

robust forge
#

And him being a walking demi god didn't help neither

shrewd dagger
#

So is Strelok

robust forge
#

But Strelok didn't have a book about him

glad cave
#

also strelok was practically a walking anomaly and pro stalker

that we'll never see again whistles ...until A R T Y O M

#

unlike*

#

not until, oops

robust forge
#

Strelok was a Mary Sue kek

#

Wait

glad cave
#

no

#

strelok is a rifleman

robust forge
#

Yeah

glad cave
#

wheeze

robust forge
#

He has the reason to be like him

#

Also some people don't really like him

#

And I don't mean the enemies

glad cave
#

and least he isn't the local jesus for 3 titles

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

Also tbh Strelok wasn't really that recognised

#

It was just his group that became a myth

glad cave
#

is strelok even mentioned outside soc

robust forge
#

Hmm

karmic jay
#

Well. He kind of is.

shrewd dagger
#

And he is an npc in CoO

#

CoP

karmic jay
#

But he isn't really praised or super famous.

#

Sidorovich doesn't even seem to know him.

robust forge
#

He isn't

#

His group has some sort of myth around it

#

But that's all

karmic jay
#

That's better than being a celebrity anyway lmao

shrewd dagger
#

Doctor is the most famous member of the group

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

But it's still isn't like

#

"Oh god, Doctor came. Dima, let's get drunk with him and praise him"

shrewd dagger
#

Newbies don't know him

#

Only more experienced guys know the legend

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

They're more of a ghost story told at a campfire than anything

#

But in Metro?

#

The game))

#

In Metro Artyom is a celebrity

shrewd dagger
#

He is a Marvel superhero

karmic jay
#

You're pretty much a nobody in all three Stalker games as it seems. Barely anyone knows you.

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

Also

shrewd dagger
#

Metro games should have followed the books more closely

robust forge
#

In Metro book artyom is a total beta

#

Like

#

He doesn't do that much

shrewd dagger
#

I think he kills only one person in 2033

#

And gets hanged for it

robust forge
#

He didn't kill him, I think

shrewd dagger
#

Khan does all the killing

robust forge
#

He attacked him

shrewd dagger
#

He did, bullet right in the head

#

A nazi

robust forge
#

Ah yes

In 2035 he headbutted a nazi

In the patched version its a merc suit.
Unpatched it's a stalker suit.

Climb the building behind Wolf. Sprint and jump from the building to the building beyond.

Go to the roof on the opposite side, knife open a box. Should be nearer the road.

Oh, in that crate thing?

brittle linden
#

Yeah.

finite dragon

Theres a bandage, a medkit, and a...

Should be a full size wooden box.

anything else?

I have the GOG version too. I can check again later.

Aight. I know you can get the perfected suit, as well.

@shrewd dagger >AI is worse than the previous games for stealth too, since in a few spots they can see right through solid objects
this never happened to me

And comparing A-Life to the absence of it isn't apples to oranges
yes it is. you're comparing entirely different systems within entirely different environments
Artyom being a mute also breaks the narrative
i find it more immersive

shrewd dagger
#

More immersive to have people asking Artyom questions or Artyom being tasked to convince Miller without saying a word? Not responding to urgent calls for no reason? Awkward silence and pauses? Silent Artyom worked for the previous games (LL was pushing it though) but not here. Only a true fanboy who doesn't care at all about storytelling doesn't care

#

Exodus has an A-Life equivalent for mutants not humans, so humans end up being static and entirely scripted. You always know exactly when and where you will get into combat with humans. Waste of large level design

#

A game like Exodus needs some limited A-Life system so that action doesn't only happen at predictable times and only when you're around. Immersion breaking, though it's hard for you to imagine something like A-Life without experiencing it

gaunt merlin
#

@shrewd dagger >Only a true fanboy who doesn't care at all about storytelling doesn't care
nice strawman. guess people who enjoy critically-acclaimed story-driven games such as metro, halo 3: odst, half life, and legend of zelda don’t care about storytelling

You always know exactly when and where you will get into combat with humans. Waste of large level design
it’s not needed for humans. they have much more specific guard posts than stalker and areas they need to cover. mutants do not.

Humans don't stay in one place forever, it's unrealistic and severely limiting to its gameplay

#

And someone who doesn't care about the protagonist coming across as a mute when he isn't, leaving urgent calls for help unanswered, simply not responding to all questions for no reason, magically convincing his superior to do something without speaking obviously does not care about storytelling since that is such a broken narrative

#

Not a strawman argument whatsoever, you blind yourself to all the many flaws of Metro Exodus like a true fanboy

@shrewd dagger >Humans don't stay in one place forever, it's unrealistic and severely limiting to its gameplay
they do move around if you wait long enough, though some will stay in their positions because they are ordered to do so. it’s not a difficult concept.

And someone who doesn't care about the protagonist coming across as a mute when he isn't, leaving urgent calls for help unanswered, simply not responding to all questions for no reason, magically convincing his superior to do something without speaking obviously does not care about storytelling since that is such a broken narrative
completely ignores the point i made earlier addressing this
Not a strawman argument whatsoever
yes it is. i never said i don’t care about storytelling.
you blind yourself to all the many flaws of Metro Exodus like a true fanboy
nope, also a strawman

You guys still having this debate?

#

Jeez.

shrewd dagger
#

Nothing to say = strawman in your mind

#

And they don't send patrols or scavenge dynamically, that is what is meant by AI not moving around

(available for ТЧ 1.0006) with that modification you can expect unexpected things because all npc, and mobs goes where they want freely without any gulag limitations!

How dangerous is it in red forest? Can i go trough there?

karmic jay
#

You don't even have full arti set?
Smh.

merry blaze
#

I mostly walked around SoC and clear sky maps

#

Going to skadovsk now

karmic jay
#

Don't forget to carry -rad artifact on you at all times.

merry blaze
#

There is an artifact that lets you carry more, yes?

karmic jay
#

Artifacts can have a ton of effects.

#

Dragon's Eye adds something like 40kg if not more

merry blaze
#

I really hate how i have a few food items, some healing, 3 guns and ammo and boom 30 kg

finite dragon
#

Buy a bunch of anti-rads :)

karmic jay
#

Search for artifacts, they're often worth the time.

merry blaze
#

I need to go to anomalies, yes?

#

I have veles detector

karmic jay
#

Yep.

#

Take care.

#

Don't forget you can make your own stashes. Pretty useful to have one in the Bar.
I had three: one for "meat", food and medicine, one for arms and equipment, one for artifacts.

merry blaze
#

Yeah but map is very big, would suck to travel all the way to other side to put something

karmic jay
#

I mean, I was constantly using cash to travel around at that point.
So you can just have a stash in every merchant location or wherever you want.
But for later Bar is kind of okay.

merry blaze
#

How do i use veles detector? I went to anomaly and nothing is appearing

karmic jay
#

Equip
Press "O"
Have fun

merry blaze
#

Yes ik but

karmic jay
#

By the way, have you played Call of Pripyat?

merry blaze
#

You wont always find artifact, yes?

#

I did

karmic jay
#

Oh, alright.

#

Sometimes anomalies are just empty.

#

Besides, it's best to find marked anomalies.

robust forge
#

Yeah

karmic jay
#

I don't know if unmarked ones spawn anything at all.

robust forge
#

I think that dynamic anomalies allows that

merry blaze
#

There was artifact at some psi anomaly

#

It has some electric thing

#

Cant even get in

karmic jay
#

It may be difficult to find a way through. Worst case, you can shoot an artifact you can't reach so that it moves closer.

robust forge
#

Yeah

karmic jay
#

Or, like, out of anomaly itself.

robust forge
#

Also

#

First thing to do in Yanov is to run to parking lot

karmic jay
#

#

I think there's 100% chance of artifact spawning first time you get there

#

Also don't forget about heart of the oasis

@shrewd dagger >Nothing to say = strawman in your mind
you have no idea what a strawman is

And they don't send patrols or scavenge dynamically, that is what is meant by AI not moving around
so what? one game is open world, which suits patrolling and scavenging, and the other isn't. it's an apples to oranges comparison that says nothing about which is better. they are different AI systems for different purposes
