lyric forge
#

susat and grenade launcher

#

i have no one to sneak up on

pseudo rivet
#

It's a matter of what you want, really

finite dragon
#

that being said

#

vanilla cop weapons

#

pretty cringe bro, pretty cringe

pseudo rivet
#

The SGI-5K has a high DPS with low recoil

lyric forge
#

yeah i dont have arsenal overhaul installed

finite dragon
#

arsenal overhaul

lyric forge
#

im just playing full vanilla

finite dragon
#

pretty cringe, pretty cringe

lyric forge
#

when i get to coc ill use it

finite dragon
#

arsenal overhaul is garbage compared to stcop

pseudo rivet
#

The GP37 is basically an automatic sniper with almost no recoil

finite dragon
#

dont use it

lyric forge
#

ight

#

been using it for around a year but ill look into that

finite dragon
lyric forge
#

ANYWAYS full game vanills situation only, how do. and dont say no more mods. VANILLA

finite dragon
#

arsenal overhaul has pretty garbage quality compared to stcop

#

and it doesnt have PiP scopes

#

unlike stcop 3.2

#

but yeah, its essentially RNG whether or not they die

pseudo rivet
#

Use either the SGI-5K or the GP37

#

Both are quite suitable for the environment

lyric forge
#

seeing as im in the situation of babysitting my team with a stryker and trs ALREADY, what do

pseudo rivet
#

Hmm

#

Exactly at which point are you?

lyric forge
#

pseudo rivet
#

lyric forge

No

umbral bay
#

lyric forge
#

how the heck*

pseudo rivet
#

By savescumming

lyric forge
#

yeah been doing that every contact with enemies

#

i jsut spam f5

pseudo rivet
#

Complete Mod is a joke, tbh

umbral bay
#

not really

#

lol

pseudo rivet
#

Maybe that's what caused the issue

lyric forge
#

complete is easy mode

umbral bay
#

in my second clear sky playthrough

#

i saw nothing of difference except for

#

a sleepingbag

#

and a better crosshair (but I play with no crosshair so it doesntm atter)

lyric forge
#

you get way more loot in complete more than needed

pseudo rivet
#

Anyways, I don't really know

#

Maybe @shrewd dagger could help you

#

But for the Pripyat Underground matter

finite dragon
#

@umbral bay dont play complete, it sucks

pseudo rivet
#

Just a whole lot of saving

finite dragon
#

honestly dont even play clear sky

lyric forge
#

anyways @pseudo rivet how th am i going to save a team of 4 morons

pseudo rivet
#

Oi

#

Savescumming

lyric forge
#

pseudo rivet

Good luck

umbral bay

finite dragon
#

umbral bay
#

ITS A SECOND PLAYTHROUGH BRO

finite dragon
#

umbral bay
#

how does it suck lol

lyric forge
#

fml i wish this game had squad commands

#

anyways brb

feral verge
#

"Don't play Clear Sky"
Daizen, please

#

Stop telling people not to play CS, it's 1 IQ and not a pro gamer move

finite dragon
#

okay

#

dont play it more than once smile_scar

umbral bay
#

the only thing i dont like about clear sky is the wack accuracy

pseudo rivet
umbral bay
#

and the lack of squad command

lyric forge
#

complete makes it more wack

umbral bay
#

i figured

#

well i just need to go through army warehouses

lyric forge
#

who even suggested that mod to you

umbral bay
#

and do limnsk and such

#

nobody

#

lol

#

i played it due to all the people who lose their brains over it

#

with a mod that infamous, you jsut gotta try it out

#

then im gonna replay CoP

#

well, i'l ldo SoC first

lyric forge
#

yeah its shi plus the letter T

umbral bay
#

so it's chronologically

#

wht mod should I get for SoC

#

that keeps the story

#

that's the onyl requirqement, it can change everytrhing else

late bramble

AMK 1.4 autumn edition is alright

#

Hey guys

#

Are there people who wants to improve english?

#

To practice in voice chat talk to people and stuff ?

gaunt merlin
#

wow turning the music off in CoP makes the game so much more immersive

near star
#

I feel betrayed by the CS AO moddb page

#

It says there's an AK-12 and AK-12 M43 included, but I'm looking through the texture files and I see nothing pertaining to an AK-12

finite dragon
#

cs mods are never very good

#

cs's engine is a finnicky POS and people dont wanna bother modding it

pseudo rivet
#

Too bad

#

It's a great game

finite dragon
#

@stoic stone based discord tag

stoic stone
#

@finite dragon ?

finite dragon
#

The discord number for your profile

#

Why is it 1488

#

@stoic stone

lusty elm
#

I guess if he has Nitro he can change the number or it's just a random number in there

finite dragon
#

It's just pretty odd that it's that specific number lol. That number has a lot of meaning

#

Also sry for talking here and not in off topic

stoic stone
#

@finite dragon use google

finite dragon
#

Yes I know what it means, I just think it's funny that you set it as your discord tag

lusty elm
#

Lol 1488 and 0488

finite dragon
#

My number was completely by random tho

lyric forge
tribal jolt
#

One of em got peed on

lyric forge
#

the bugged one instead of overtime heals the player, it just auto maxes me out in health

tribal jolt
#

Probably a developer test one

lyric forge
#

Ah...

#

Anyways since I got to pripyat with the whole squad alive, I tried to save Zulu at school and told him to go to laundromat, yet everytime I TP there hes not there, is my game bugged or what?

lusty elm
#

Lol some bug

lyric forge
#

welp I cant get his PKM than

#

nvm i just had to sleep

#

so apparently before I left him I bought it off him for 25k RU and when he got to laundromat he just gave me another one feels_good_stalk

#

Oddly tho, one weighs 11.95 and the other weighs 10.53 (KG)

finite dragon
#

the best gun is the vintorez imo

pseudo rivet
#

Maybe because of the amount of ammo?

finite dragon
#

that sucks yeah but

#

just sell stuff for rubles

#

then buy the ammo from that dude in yanov

#

or grab the ammo from that soldier in the laundromat

pseudo rivet
#

Impossible

#

Hawaiian only sells 7.62x54mm PP ammo boxes when you're a Friend of Duty

#

Not sure about Owl, though

lyric forge
#

I just use a standard 556 rifle or switch up with a 7.62 sometimes.

tribal jolt
#

Fn2000 best gun of SoC

#

CoP I dunno

#

Probably the VSS or the Vintorez

robust forge
#

Umm

#

But you know that Vintorez is VSS, right?

pseudo rivet
#

I'd say the NATO weapons

#

To be honest, I'd rather have a TRs-301 than a FT-200m

shrewd dagger
#

vanilla guns all suck

#

chocolate guns best

tribal jolt
#

Yes

#

I prefer dark chocolate though

#

The Fn2000 clone has to be the most overpowered gun in the game

#

In SoC

frail spire
#

I rather the peashooter known as bizon

tribal jolt
#

If you hear that vanilla saw noise of death YOU HIT THE DECK

frail spire
#

Lel yeah

#

Trying to take over the checkpoint near rookie village is a pain

tribal jolt
#

In the reactor in exoskeleton you can get murdered easily

frail spire
#

But you be damn sure you'll get sweet loot

tribal jolt
#

With the Fn2000

#

Just snipe the soldiers

frail spire
#

Iirc you don't start with anything that can snipe

tribal jolt
#

Just buy a scope

frail spire
#

I remember rushing in with the knife and just using whatever they dropped to fend em off

tribal jolt
#

lmao

frail spire
#

Or using some toz from random bandits

tribal jolt
#

I remember doing the Agroprom mission and going from 0-100

#

I had a shotgun and pistol

#

and they had like

#

Ak74’s

frail spire
#

I mean, the shotguns are pretty a-tier for me

tribal jolt
#

The one thing SoC needed to be perfect was gun repairing

#

I had the two barrel sawed off

frail spire
#

The double one over other barrel toz is pretty much a sniper

tribal jolt
#

Wasn’t all that effective against people with ak74’s sniping you

frail spire
#

Well thats why you rush in like a dumbass

#

I remember not even bothering getting new armor

#

Due to getting shot constantly

tribal jolt
#

Lmao

#

Yes

#

And going “WHY AM I LOSING HEALTH” when having radiation

#

And looking it up on the internet

frail spire
#

Usually meant insta death when caught off-guard but usually wouldn't have that issue

#

Just chug vodka and run across the radiated field

tribal jolt
#

I get rid of it all the time because of the paranoia

#

Get that rad x

earnest token
#

Personally I just used any assault rifle that had "Single Fire" action available an did nothing but headshots....I'm lame that way.

#

Clear Sky, I just used the M4A1.

late bramble
#

clear sky doesnt have an M4

#

none of the vanilla games do

mint oracle
#

I’m guessing he means a modded clear sky or the LR300

earnest token
#

Meant the TRs 301. Sorry, my mistake. They just look similar.

finite dragon
#

owl does @pseudo rivet

#

but it's expensive from him

frail spire
#

Everything is expensive from him, killing him and the whole ship crew would end up being cheaper than buying from him

#

Chessing the AI is so fun sometimes

finite dragon
#

true

pseudo rivet
#

Thought so

#

Owl is the most expensive trader in CoP

#

Although, I don't know if the Friend of Duty achievement makes it more expensive

mint oracle
#

Owl's ending slide is literally happy merchant

#

@frail spire

tribal jolt
#

Owl is secretly Jewish?!

robust forge
#

Yes

#

And he is the most expensive trader because there is no Sidor

pseudo rivet
#

The most expensive traders are random Stalkers

finite dragon
#

Tried to get that Trafficker of Information and Man of Balance so that Owl can lower his price. But I got to sacrifice Strider.

crystal badger
#

The difference between the quality of discussion between En/Ru channels is disturbing

robust forge
#

which one is better?

crystal badger
#

Seems Russian channel. But they have added bonus of the games being made with Russian culture and soviet past in mind

#

I just hope GSC doesn't follow the on-rails experience of Metro. I do not enjoy that

robust forge
#

nobody did tbh

#

also

#

you haven't seen the polish channel...

#

it's like, the worst part of our community

crystal badger
#

oh I have had the bad fortune of being in Polish War Thunder clans ...

#

not all are bad, but the bad ones are really toxic

robust forge
#

yeah, I get you

#

same with every post-soviet country tbh

#

we have good parts and really toxic parts

crystal badger
#

Ukraine?

robust forge
#

yeah, alongside with many more mainly slavic countries

crystal badger
#

I'm here mostly to lurk and see news when they arrive

robust forge
#

Yeah, I see

#

I think that I'm pretty active here

pseudo rivet
#

You're almost passing me in MEE6 rank

#

Seems like I moved up two spots, which honestly surprises me

tired anvil
#

im sitting at like 40 or smth

#

way less active for the past few days lately though

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, I'm just below you

#

You're 40

tired anvil

it is said that nothing is perfect

all 3 stalker games

tranquil breach
#

X)

finite dragon
#

its flawless

#

even tho it now beats it with graphics, it just cannot, regardless of how hard they try, beat the amount of quality s.t.a.l.k.e.r story has.

#

good example: ea making you pay iirc 40 bucks to unlock a fucking character.

#

also, ea charges for a weather system. [sims 4]

pseudo rivet
#

Just a heads up, try not to swear

#

You'll get warned by the Moderators

finite dragon
#

y no swearing

tranquil breach
#

cuz it's a stalker server

finite dragon
#

you cannot not swear when talking about 2019 EA.

pseudo rivet
#

Because we live in a modern era

tranquil breach

a modern stalker era

pseudo rivet
tranquil breach
#

X)

finite dragon
#

instead of just updating any fifa game, they release the exact same one with only a few minor improvements

tranquil breach
#

improvements being the graphics

finite dragon
#

bro graphics don't matter

tranquil breach
#

exactly

pseudo rivet
#

Exactly

tranquil breach
#

that's why their "improvements" doesnt matter

finite dragon
#

today's people only care for the looks of the game

pseudo rivet
#

Yep

finite dragon
#

i have never seen a game with modern graphics and an actual good story

You can't swear because all the Fortnite players' Christian parents will get buttmad

Man, remember when Fortnite players were CoD kids back in 2010~

mint oracle
#

I didn't start playing online multiplayer games with a mic till I was 14

and it was CSS

giving prepubescents a microphone is irresponsible parenting

pseudo rivet
#

I agree

#

I started playing multiplayers when I were 11~12

mint oracle

same, Runescape was my first

pseudo rivet

Because of my Christian parents, I were only allowed to play Battlefront as an FPS

Haven’t done yet even through playing COP 4 times over, from the whole squad from the mission Pripyat 1: is there any good ending at the end of the game with them?

Also a side question:
At the end of the game for COP, I chose to stay once but after finding out I can’t travel back to yanov or Zaton through fast travel, what else is there to even do?

pseudo rivet
#

You should just be able to travel back to both Zaton and the Area around Jupiter

#

Try talking to Garry, he'll guide you back to those areas

#

The endings of the Squad are individual

lyric forge
#

How? Garry left same as military

pseudo rivet
#

If one of them dies, you'll receive a bad ending

lyric forge
#

I went back to laundromat no one was there

pseudo rivet
#

Huh

#

That's weird

#

It should be filled with Free Stalkers

shrewd dagger
#

there's nothing else to really do besides side quests you might not have done

lyric forge
#

At a certain point in cop you can’t travel back and that’s when strelok steps in

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

#

You've completed that

#

Stalkers should now inhabit the Laundromat

lyric forge
#

I’m at the point where I have to get to the helicopters to leave and end the game

pseudo rivet
#

Alright

#

Press stay in the Zone to free roam through the game

#

Once you return to the Laundromat, the base will be filled again

lyric forge
#

Odd... because I did choose to stay one time.
I couldn’t even find monolith walking so I just went to anomalies

#

Idk I’ll have to check again

shrewd dagger
#

staying in the zone will get boring quickly though

pseudo rivet
#

True

lyric forge
#

Eh I just walk around and do random stuff, trying to avoid main quest.

shrewd dagger
#

OGSE is the best experience in the series for that

lyric forge
#

OGSE?

shrewd dagger
#

a mod based on SoC, although it uses a custom 64-bit version of that engine

#

OGSE 0693

#

top tier mod

lyric forge
#

I’ll have to look into it.
Hey speaking of SoC, I probs wanna get back into that, I enjoyed SoC the most for story mode. Although I was rather irrational with my decision and died of money.
I wanna complete it with destroying the C-con

shrewd dagger
#

greed gets the best of all of us

#

here's a little clip of what OGSE gameplay is like

#

or the weapon customization at least

lyric forge
#

Yeah greed kinda.
Idk my first time playing cop all I ever did was kill bandits at Yanov, take all those weapons followed by a lot of Hercules to Pripyat and get all the weapons fixed for free, then sell to either owl or Hawaiian, usually at yanov. Sometimes even if loners has enough RU

#

Had around 4mil+ doing this for a good amount of times

#

Now all I do is take AK and 556 rifle ammo and store it in my lockers

#

And since barters don’t dont a lot for ammo I just hold it

#

@shrewd dagger and damn that clip looked nice, got a link to the mod? And why stalker games is it compatible with?

shrewd dagger
#

it's actually standalone

#

no games required

#

Normally OGSE is really lacking in guns so you'd want to wait for that weapon mod

finite dragon
lyric forge
#

Is it a safe and verified download?

shrewd dagger
#

yes

#

it was uploaded by another stalker related discord server owner who isn't malevolent

jaunty furnace
#

cool

#

greetings muzhiki

frail spire
#

I'm playing anomaly in warfare mode and theres legit 30+ squads in wild territory

#

I can't even pop and shoot because I get hailed in a straight line

frail spire
#

After an uphill battle at wild territory I gotta push the monolels out of rostok and 100 rads bar

#

God damn

#

Nevermind got across a bug rendering the whole run moot kuznetsov

acoustic zealot
#

So, hello Everyone?

finite dragon
#

Hello there fellow stalker

#

The skorpion is a good weapon

acoustic zealot
#

And Scorpion have a good weapon too

finite dragon
#

Would be nice if we had an Glock machine pistol too

acoustic zealot
#

that will be perfect

finite dragon
#

Oh yeah gotta put those 9x19 to good use

finite dragon
#

i hate the "all out war" idea

#

so i just do some jobs here and there

frail spire
#

I just hate the constant trader and tech switch

#

Since maybe you upgrade the tech but then he walks out and gets shot

finite dragon
#

yep

#

I still can’t believe these bandits shoot at me when they attacked that stalker camp in agoprom

#

beta days

frail spire
#

Now you have to get all the stuff again

finite dragon
#

i would just love

#

a nice revamp of the quests

frail spire
#

Also I kinda find lame how they removed the rusty/worn weapons

#

Also the craftable recipes take too long to find

#

Most of the time you already have all the gear

#

Also its pointless since theres no only-craftable-gear to be had

finite dragon
#

there goes our neutrality with ecologists...

#

no more psi helmets

frail spire
#

They could have added a pda that detects all squads

#

Or improved kevlar plates

finite dragon
#

yeah i was disappointed with version 3.1

#

i thought it was as it stated

#

all natural squads

frail spire
#

Also they added a bunch of backpacks but the hunter kit is the only one worth using

finite dragon
#

yeah

#

only drawback is the weight

frail spire
#

Unless you're done with mutant parts and want to carry more stuff

#

But I always find more useful to get more parts

finite dragon
#

well

#

depends on the faction

#

i mostly go for patches

#

for aslan's lottery

frail spire
#

Its nice to field dress a chimera and get 5 claws

finite dragon
#

and sell it to ecologs that im no longer neutral to 😛

frail spire
#

They could have made a backpack the increases the chances of getting more patches

#

Or a gunsmith backpack that lets you get moreparts or ammo

#

Hell why not add an exo-skeleton upper frame on the backpack slot that decreases recoil or makes you immune to dropping your gun

#

And increases grenade throw range

#

Since I usually find myself crawling in grenades

finite dragon
#

really useful stuff

#

for grenades id always evolve from throwing them to shooting them from launcher addons

frail spire
#

Why not add an eco device that attracts artefacts from anomaly fields with gravity

#

You know, like having two goldfishes in there generating a gravity field

finite dragon
#

that would be hella op

#

should be as costly as a pda 3.1

#

55 grand...

#

well depending on progression difficulty

#

you know

#

i think some mutants are not meant for the zone

#

just killed a karlik in the area

#

i dont think they fit in

frail spire
#

A what?

finite dragon
#

karlik

frail spire
#

Haven't come across one

finite dragon
#

a dwarf mutant

#

he is like

#

tyler1

frail spire
#

It runs fast and has psy powers?

finite dragon
#

ye

frail spire
#

Oh then I did saw it on earlier releases

#

Also I'm glad they added those sprinting zombies

#

Makes them more threatening

finite dragon
#

oh

#

the ones underground?

frail spire
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

that look like mummies

#

a bit

#

and their psy field

#

i was glad they added a psysucker

#

first time was scary as hell

#

i didnt realize that it used illusions of itself

#

then there comes a lil moment

#

our merc fellas knock down some zombies

#

and they spam the comms with

#

"lets see if we can extract some information"

frail spire
#

They should have added psygiants

finite dragon
#

oh no

frail spire
#

They just kameha you

#

Like burers

#

But way bigger

finite dragon
#

well luckily i have nade launcher

#

as far as ive used it

#

it one shot chimeras and pseudogiants

frail spire
#

Thats kinda op, I never used launchers since they suck ass most of the time

#

Also I can't make launchers nades bounce

finite dragon
#

i always use a weapon that supports a sight or scope, suppressor and nade launcher

#

its a must have

#

the only way i passed stalker misery was that way

#

i just came across the third version of the headlamp

#

with the oracle night vision

frail spire
#

I usually just use supressor and 2 scopes

finite dragon
#

or fourth i guess

#

you can just snipe a pack of bloodsuckers sleeping by just nade launching the place

frail spire
#

And have like, 2 big guns and 4 pistols

#

Rifle with snipe scope, rifle with assault scope or shotgun, 4 pistols all of which use their own ammo

finite dragon
#

pretty big arsenal

#

you carry all of that or have them stashed?

frail spire
#

Carry

#

I just go around with titanium grids

#

Also guns aren't that heavy, gun weight makes up for maybe 10% of the weight

finite dragon
#

ah

frail spire
#

Everything else is tools, medkits, food stuff like that

finite dragon
#

its kinda annoying my game ended up being just like this

frail spire
#

Also for ammo the snipe rifle only gets armor piercing stuff

#

And same for pistols

finite dragon
#

go to limansk at night and kill monolith, do some fetching here and there

#

rinse repeat

frail spire
#

Yeah I usually do that too

#

Mercs just have it really good if you survive the first trip

finite dragon
#

i did ofc

#

its just night time that makes it op

#

and a suppressor

#

i could have sworn i remember that there was a path from dead city to wild territory

#

there isnt though

#

i wish leopard could lead you there and not only zaton and back

#

the scouting expedition quests help in securing areas for your faction which later on appears there

#

so thats pretty neat

#

holy shit i just had a sixth sense moment

#

since boars are so hard to hear in this mod, you can barely hear them very close

#

i was in red forest again and killed a burer when i heard one behind me

#

i instinctively jumped on a rock as he was about to hit me

finite dragon
#

how do you get a svarog detector though?

random loom
#

Get quest from Owl to give technic at Jantar Lab 3 detector_veles, wait "few" days and get it from Owl back in Skadowsk.

frail spire
#

If you mean vanilla do the owl questsline, regardless of telling him to fug off or not you get it for free

#

If anomaly do quests for ecos and they should have one when maxed goodwill or with deep pockets

finite dragon
#

svarog is easy in cop

#

i was meaning anomaly the entire time

#

ok im exploring a bit of zaton at night time

#

and i just saw in the death reports

#

beard and gonta dead

#

monolith are taking what is theirs

#

skadovsk now only has nimble and owl left

silk charm
#

Does anyone here has STALKER Anomaly?

robust forge
#

Yeah, I do

#

What happened?

silk charm
#

Yo bro, quick question

#

I have STALKER Anomaly, specificaly the Beta 2.4 version and i recently saw a new 3.0 update

#

Do you know if there's a way to update my game to 3.0 without having to redownload the whole game again?

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

3.0 is a standalone already?

silk charm
#

I have no idea

robust forge
#

i didn't actually update it

#

So I can't answer

silk charm
#

Hm, alright

red tulip
#

Ask at the Anomaly discord.

silk charm
#

Where do i find it?

red tulip
#

Lemme DM you.

silk charm
#

alright

finite dragon
#

its standalone

#

full reinstall is required

#

because of the launcher and stuff

#

is the legend of the death lamp artifact true for gameplay?

frail spire
#

I just see it as "fug you for picking this without a container"

#

Like old itcher

finite dragon
#

ye

frail spire
#

So I just got sniped by a controller from 4 screens away

#

I guess thats lore-friendly?

finite dragon
#

yea...

#

i just realized miracle machine and brain scorcher are off for non story mode gameplay...

#

all that effort for disguising myself

#

i guess i can put it to other good use

finite dragon
#

hello you all ppl

#

i was in a party in poland

#

2 people got so drunk they forgot where their clothes were

#

that's epic

finite dragon
#

a bit too much cossacks vodka

pseudo rivet
#

Only 2 people?

#

What a letdown

robust forge
#

Yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Besides, who even pulls their clothes off?

robust forge
#

I can party better

finite dragon
#

less weight

#

more stamina to expend smile_strelok

pseudo rivet
#

You pull off your clothes

#

You can feel your stamina flowing through your body, extending all over your body

finite dragon
#

stamina regeneration

#

they drank all the energy drinks so they needed to drop some extra loot

lyric forge
#

Where th did Strider go after Pripyat 1 mission?? Can't find him anywhere at laundromat. Zulu, well he left back to Yanov.

finite dragon
#

at the end of the game its implied he went off to start his own faction dedicated to trying to reverse the brainwashing done by the c-consciousness

late bramble
#

he didnt beat the game yet nice spoilers

finite dragon
#

L

#

spoilers for a 10 year old game

late bramble
#

CoP isnt 10 years old yet

#

ur fake news

finite dragon
#

9 years and 11 months

late bramble
#

yeah im right

#

ur wronh

#

cronge

finite dragon
#

deeth nuthth

lyric forge
#

oh 1 less person to worry about for the ending YEET

finite dragon
#

they are all fine

#

except scar

#

nothing is said about his fate

#

well, confirmed*

pseudo rivet
#

I guess he wakes up again for Freeplay

#

But other than that, no

finite dragon
#

Hope Strelok will not be pissed off if he ever sees Scar again

pseudo rivet
#

I doubt they've met face to face

#

Maybe he checked his PDA PFP

#

Who knows

#

Still, does he even remember after his amnesia

finite dragon
#

is it me or is the regular old vanilla freeplay of stalker shoc way better than any other mod right now?

tribal jolt
#

It depends on what you want in the game

finite dragon
#

i just want stalker

minor mist
finite dragon
#

is there a stalker story mod that is basically shoc vanilla style

minor mist
#

secret trails?

finite dragon
#

strelok in an alternate reality

finite dragon
#

Am I the only one who drank all of these cossacks in the bandit base’s basement, and then proceed to shoot up the whole place while high as kite?

pseudo rivet
#

Now you just had to shoot them all with a Black Kite for irony points

finite dragon
#

i was unhappy when sergei left

#

and left it to his brother

late bramble
#

uh

#

SoC and CS didnt have freeplay

#

only when using mods

#

zrp / srp added freeplay so thats probably why people think vanilla has post credits freeplay

#

CoP is the only one that does by default

finite dragon
#

zrp

#

i love soc the most

#

its just the weapon anims that i love

#

at least more than the xray 1.6 ones in later games

#

wish there was a way to bring them to the newer games

late bramble
#

xray is an awful engine so i doubt you'll be seeing it used again

finite dragon
#

i know it wont be used

#

i just wish there was a mod or smthing to bring those anims to a mod like coc or something

#

clear sky and cop models are like weapons being held by a girl

#

and the overhaul mods just try so hard it doesnt even fit into the game world anymore

late bramble
#

you might be tje only person on earth who likes vanilla animations

#

i like vanilla but theyre just.. really outdated

#

GSC was aiming for realism (for the time) back during for SoC so i dont think the jank was a stylistic choice

finite dragon
#

thats the whole idea

#

it just fits into the style of the game

#

just dont want call of duty epic reload rambo anims

late bramble
#

SoC was the one that was trying to be epic reloads and flashy

#

hence why they made the guns left handed

#

because they wanted to show off bullets flying out of the ejection port

finite dragon
#

some of the guns look ambidextrous

#

like the pm

#

it has ejection ports from both sides

#

i guess symmetric

#

i guess the guys who did soc anims went off to 4a games

#

then someone else revamped them afterwords

#

are there any mods that expand upon the side quests in soc or does the zrp mod have that option?

shrewd dagger
#

How do outdated inferior animations, that would have never been used had technology been better at the time, fit the "style of the game" more

#

The mod that does the best job expanding side quests in SoC is OGSE 0693, which is one of the best mods ever but it's best to wait a few weeks for OGSE Weapon Expansion Project to release

finite dragon
#

its just worse than before

#

it feels worse to use

#

if only i could show you a comparison

finite dragon
#

i just simply find everything about shoc to be better than clear sky and cop

dusk vigil
#

Just got done playing the trio, unmodded. Fun times.

#

What's the opinion about lost alpha nowadays?

finite dragon
#

they say its bad

#

because they claim its too easy

#

i think its worth a try

dusk vigil
#

Hmm. I've been hearing about this RoH for a bit on the side too. What's the word on that lately? Seems still pretty deep in dev.

finite dragon
#

still in development

#

it has a beta gameplay video

#

but so far they say they have finished up to garbage by now

#

so its gonna take a lot more time

mortal canyon
#

what is RoH ?

tired anvil
#

ray of hope

dusk vigil
#

Just took a look at the video. Really does give me some tarkov vibes with the uh, clientside features.

#

Shrugs As long as the netcode is solid, I'm sure it'll be pretty enjoyable.

mortal canyon
#

@tired anvil thx

rare rain
#

Praise the monolith.f_monolith

late bramble
#

Ray of Hope is going to have microtransactions and private servers lmao

#

literally worthless

#

xrMPE is probably the multiplayer mod worth waiting for since Ray of Hope is insistent on being a bad tarkov clone with microtransactions

dusk vigil
#

Yikes, is that really the way the wind's blowing on that one?

pseudo rivet
#

Has been for a while, sadly

#

Although, the microtransactions topic is new to me

dusk vigil
#

Sigh That's pretty depressing. Well, I'll take a look at that xrMPE then, something to look forward to after I do my first run in uh, anomaly 1.5

finite dragon
#

what

#

i didnt know there will be microtransactions?

robust forge
#

Same

#

But looking at the development process of roh devs

#

I can see it as a part of roh

finite dragon
#

big shame

#

pay 2 win game

#

well i just wanted a nice coop mod

#

they wanted it to be pvp too

#

all hope is lost ironically

#

xrmpe though

robust forge
#

Maybe

#

Xrmpe is a quiet mod

finite dragon
#

XRMPE is going to be so much better than ray of hope

#

ye

#

but i doubt its going to get a beauty treatment like ray of hope

#

that is, if ray of hope ever comes out smile_degtyarev

#

i mean it by translation

#

ray of hope is dead on arrival because of the inability to host your own servers

#

so far i like the over the shoulder gameplay

#

will xrMPE have own server hosting?

#

yes

#

delete this

#

dabs

#

oof

#

this seems pretty cool

#

hope it gets a good translation

#

once it releases

#

when was its development started?

#

not sure

#

today

#

so far i saw all the videos related to it are from this year

#

its been fast development

#

sure

#

whats nice about XRMPE is that is doesnt try to be something its not

#

ray of hope really, really wants to be escape from tarkov

#

yeah it did sell that

#

i cant look

#

when i see realistic weapons

#

in a game like stalker

#

where a vintar bc is a vintar bc and not a vss vintorez

#

better than minecraft

#

realistic weapons are good in stalker, the main thing is its changes to the ui, hud, and general feel of the game

#

i just dont like real life weapons when that game always had its own arsenal of weapons

#

stalker's weapons are honestly kinda garbage, theyre servicable, but theres no reason not to mod them

#

also, all of the weapons in stalker are just renamed real life weapons

#

i know

#

thats the point

pseudo rivet
#

No need to change the name in the new game

#

They'll rename the guns in a mod soon enough

finite dragon
#

then go through the files and change every weapons name to a stupid made up fake name

pseudo rivet
#

No need to

finite dragon
#

rename the m4a1 the m1421A

pseudo rivet
#

Isn't even in the game...

finite dragon
#

im talking about modding the weapon mods

#

modding it so they all have stupid made up stalker names instead of irl names

#

i hope they dont overhaul anything in the multiplayer mod

#

let stalker be stalker

pseudo rivet
#

Ray of Hope?

finite dragon
#

no

#

xrMPE

pseudo rivet
#

Ah

#

Doubtfully

finite dragon
#

ray of hope has no hope left

pseudo rivet
#

Too many people who like the irl names

#

Never had

finite dragon
#

those are the newbie rookies

pseudo rivet
#

Probably people who started with mods

finite dragon
#

im sorry dude but weapon mods are just better

#

better for gameplay and immersion

pseudo rivet
#

Alright

finite dragon
#

its your opinion, and we can coexist with differing opinions

#

reminder

#

no need to be sorry

pseudo rivet
#

Oh no

finite dragon
#

good ol stcop

pseudo rivet
#

It's Saint Jester on an alt

#

Somehow, I always knew

finite dragon
#

with 3d scopes fps drop

#

ive been caught

#

yes

#

new task: kill the traitor stalker

pseudo rivet
#

You've been caught

#

Doesn't mean you can't entertain us

#

You'll be send into the arena

#

Try your best to keep the audience happy

finite dragon
#

yep

#

knife only

pseudo rivet
#

They're a rowdy bunch

finite dragon
#

there will always be something special about vanilla stalker, and no autumn auroras or atmosfears are gonna enhance the stalker vibe

pseudo rivet
#

Meh, I'd accept a graphics mod at best

#

There is a default settings that keeps the game's look the same, I believe

finite dragon
#

i know

#

but i always treasure shoc's style

#

the mostly cloudy weather unlike clear sky's

pseudo rivet
#

I can appreciate both

#

SoC feels very miserable and dreary

finite dragon
#

but how can ray of hope have microtransactions if they dont have the rights to the original game?

#

yeah thats what i love about stalker

pseudo rivet
#

Whilst CS shows a us that Stalker still exists in our world

finite dragon
#

misery mod in cop used to capture that but hyperbolized it to the brim

pseudo rivet
#

Because they're changing it so much that it's literally Escape of Tarkov with Stalker Factions

#

Misery Mod was just too apocalyptic

finite dragon
#

yeah i said they hyperbolized it too much

#

it felt like nuclear bomb aftermath

pseudo rivet
#

Yup

finite dragon
#

i dont mean to hate on cs and cop vanilla style, i like them too, i just like shoc the most

#

cs and cop can have their great moments too

#

with their additional effects

#

like when rain falls and your hands are wet for example

#

or underground vent effects

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

#

They need to return the shadows, though

#

And the SoC atmosphere would be the best choice for them to make, seen how stalkers close in towards the center

#

But I believe they're already taking that route

finite dragon
#

who is taking that route, sorry?

#

i also find it strange how they revamped bloodsuckers over the games

#

making them invincible when invisible in clear sky, and completely invisible at a distance but vulnerable at all times

#

in cop

#

something simple as stash descriptions adds a lot

#

and making artifacts viable to use instead of mostly selling them

pseudo rivet
#

GSC

#

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

#

And yeah, those invincible Bloodsuckers were scary

#

Stash descriptions are great, too

#

And yeah, Artifacts need to be revamped

finite dragon
#

i would be fine with them being reverted to shoc

#

the artifacts

#

and the ability to drag bodies again smile_strelok

frail spire
#

I want to wear 5 sparklers and charge towards people and thunder tackle them

finite dragon
#

5 sparklers?

#

5 moonlights

frail spire
#

5 death lamps and instantly die smile_strelok

finite dragon
#

oh yeah

#

who ever thought of those

pseudo rivet
#

Aren't lamps just miniature death rays?

finite dragon
#

realistically they cant fit in an LLMC

#

if you wanna be all realistic

lyric forge
#

@shrewd dagger Hey you got that link to OGSE again? Kinda didnt copy it down.

shrewd dagger
#

it's on moddb

#

Thank you!

lyric forge

Also how am I going to get this Stache in Yanov? I can’t reach the ammo but I got the sniper.
It’s on the railroad under the overpass stuck in this corner.

#

did you take it down or something?

#

i cant see it

vast vigil
#

Hello!

finite dragon
#

how do you rank up on this server

pseudo rivet
#

By talking

lyric forge
#

@finite dragon yeah it didnt load

#

lemme post it

#

I can't get the ammo packs and it bugs me there is still a marker on my pda for it.

finite dragon
#

get a grenade

#

or shoot a grenade

#

but id throw one and load the quicksave until it works

lyric forge
#

yeah ive been stuck doing that for a good minute

#

they just dont get pushed enough by the explosion and feel as heavy as cinderblocks

finite dragon
#

strange

#

i always used to get that stash

#

its pretty easy

#

you sure you are using your lowest crouch?

#

its shift ctrl (hold both)

frail spire
#

You keed to get near it with autistical precision so the prompt comes up

lyric forge
#

@finite dragon Yes I am.

#

also anyways besides that

#

I think I just got myself stuck in pripyat.

#

I spent 5k since that was all I had to go to pripyat to go fix guns up for free and sell them, then I realized it cost 1000 RU to go back and I only have 100

#

wth do I do now.

frail spire
#

Sell to random stalkers?

lyric forge
#

There are no random stalkers in pripyat

frail spire
#

You can still mutant hunt

pseudo rivet
#

It's free to go to Yanov

lyric forge
#

oh crap

frail spire
#

Yeh

lyric forge
#

YEET

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

thats some bad money managment

#

must mean you didnt do much sidequests

shrewd dagger
#

I went from 485k to 180k in an instant in OGSE last night

#

I regret nothing

lyric forge
#

@finite dragon no I just travel a lot and have been upgrading EVERY weapon in the game.
I dont sell my artifacts usually unless there is a quest for it which gives a better amount of money.
I have around 300K or so in artifacts.

#

Also not counting the weapons and mass amount of ammo I never use.

#

It just takes a lot of money out when upgrading.

#

I've spent 500k+ in upgrades, almost done.

#

I also havent gotten into fully upgrading suits yet, only exo for more carrying with the assistance of 2 bubble's and 2 goldfish

frail spire
#

While I agree on not selling artifacts because someone could ask for one you should keep it at x2 or x3 and sell everything else

#

Having 8 crystals is just being a hoarder

lyric forge
#

I’ll screenshot my inventory later, right now at store

lyric forge
#

My apologies for low quality, dont know how to ingame screenshot

shrewd dagger
#

rofl

lyric forge
#

..?

frail spire
#

Lul

lyric forge
#

What..?

#

Tell me.

shrewd dagger
#

teheheheee!

finite dragon
#

well

#

we all got our little desires

#

i play shoc freeplay just to collect all the suits in the game

#

and do all the unique sidequests

#

ofc keeping balance with all the factions

lyric forge
#

True.

#

I mean at first I started to just pick up artifacts and SOME weapons.
Now I just pick up everything. take weapons to Pripyat. fix them for free than sell them, but I unload all the guns and keep the ammo since the barters are kinda cheap with it.

#

and I barely use med packs and just let them build up, same as other medic supplies.

finite dragon
#

ok i messed up

#

now im enemy with duty

#

time to roll back to an older save

#

yo

#

you know you can f12 then go to your documents and go to appdata screenshots and upload that

#

or print screen and paste in paint or smthing

#

just way better than phone shots

deep forge
#

kill dem all

covert wharf
#

hec

lyric forge
#

welp my game broke putting me in an permanent cinematic mode

#

why does this game break so much.

#

First its Z fighting problems all over the map now the game just wont let me interact with anything

finite dragon
#

its just a twisted fate some people get

#

i never got trouble in vanilla

#

except when using a tweak mod like zrp

#

then says my save gets corrupted

pseudo rivet
#

Same

#

Guess it has something to do with how you got the game?

finite dragon
#

difficulty should be 1-3, is 111 😄

pseudo rivet
#

Because my game changes per PC

#

Kinda, at least

#

You know that Berill-5M trick?

finite dragon
#

no?

pseudo rivet
#

It works on my laptop, but not on my PC

#

But both are from GOG

finite dragon
#

must be an fps thing

pseudo rivet
#

It's basically the best Sprinting suit in the game

#

It uses the least stamina of them all

finite dragon
#

how though

#

oh

#

least weight?

#

cant be

pseudo rivet
#

Least Weight is Wind of Freedom or no armor at all

#

Yet, Berill-5M beats them with Endurance

finite dragon
#

bruh

#

military marathon runners

#

its just a shame i cant implement blowouts into the game

#

how else will i get artifacts

#

from stashes only

pseudo rivet
#

CoP, at least

finite dragon
#

poop artifacts there

pseudo rivet
#

I mean the Berill-5M Armored Suit in CoP

finite dragon
#

oh

finite dragon
#

alrighty

#

new challenge

#

wanna play oblivion lost but with only the ak 74/2u

finite dragon
#

damn i must say

#

the gunplay is just the best in any mod ive tried

#

no zoom, no bobbing

#

epicness

shrewd dagger
#

in what mod

#

Oblivion Lost 3.1?

#

if so I don't know what to say smile_degtyarev

finite dragon
#

yeah

#

im not that kind of guy for amazing 4k stcop textures

#

absolute natures and all

#

im sick of those

#

had way too much

shrewd dagger
#

well, OL3.1 doesn't touch or improve the gameplay much at all

#

mods like New Arsenal 6, OGSE/OGSR, NLC 7, STCoP 3.2 are just... infinitely better

finite dragon
#

i dont see it as stalker

#

thats just like making it budget tarkov

#

let stalker be stalker and tarkov be tarkov

#

lmao, is every mod that has better gunplay then the original stalker tarkov?

#

ye pretty much

shrewd dagger
#

plenty of these predate shartkov

finite dragon
#

if you havent played vanilla before mods came out, you wont see my point of view

shrewd dagger
#

n00b

#

I played vanilla CS before mods were out, at launch

finite dragon
#

face it: stalker's gunplay has always been garbage, even if i didnt play them at launch, i still played them vanilla first

#

there really isnt any reason to use anything other than stcop or other arsenal mods for the games, theyre just better

shrewd dagger
finite dragon
#

i hate what these mods aim for
