The CNPP Area 51 raid is tomorrow for all the American stalkers

lyric urchin

Dibs on any Moonlight artifacts or Svarog detectors

#

Y'all ever just think about how Call Of Pripyat's plot is literally "The Ukrainian Government Screws Up Maps And Then Gets Paranoid"

lyric forge
#

CoP prob had the worst story.

#

It was dull and not really motivating to me.

#

SoC on the other hand...
Very immersive and enjoy it.

#

Though both have their pros and cons

#

But story-wise, SoC imo was more of an experience that I enjoyed.

robust forge
#

SoC was better for me aswell

#

Although gameplay-wise cop was the best

lyric forge
#

Gameplay? Elaborate which parts of its gameplay were fun.

robust forge
#

I mean, the overall

#

But atmosphere and story were way better in SoC

lyric forge
#

When you say overall, I’ll strongly assume you mean the terrain being abundant with fun and the side quest were nice?

robust forge
#

I mean stuff like gunplay and all of that

lyric forge
#

The zone in CoP just felt dead.
And when I mean dead, it just didn’t seem fun to explore much

robust forge
#

And yeah

#

The zone in CoP is pretty empty

#

I mean

#

What else is there to do

#

That's why I'm worried about stalker 2

#

Because how do you write a good story for a complete story arch

lyric forge
#

Well I just hope they make an immersive experience like SoC, a good faction war, BETTER than CS, and sorta like CoP with upgrading armor and guns

#

They just seem to excel very well on one part, than 2 games later make it somewhat bad.

#

I think the only thing exciting in CoP was going with the squad in Pripyat 1, and exploring Pripyat.
Other than that, not much.

#

Oh well, let’s see what we get. I have high expectations from GSC.

anyone know what helmets have night vision in Coc?

ping or dm if you know so ill be able to see when I get back :)

Im playing S.T.A.l.K.E.R for the first time and doing Call of Pripyat cause I have had it in my library for quite some time so if anyone interested you can check my stream https://www.twitch.tv/redwingssssss

frail spire
#

The only one in CoC I remmeber it has nightvision is the sphere helmet, or ome of those.

#

Dunno if it still has the radar upgrade

lyric forge
#

I kinda have a situation where I can’t stick to 1 gun for general ammo, any suggestions?(don’t mind the artifacts, those are getting sold)

#

how far are you in the game

#

1st off: snipers are pretty much useless in soc, dump it

#

2nd, buy NATO ammo

#

Snipers are useless except the holy VSS tho

#

just a worse version of the as val

#

AS Val's recoil is a bit high with that iron-sight for me, imo.

pseudo rivet
#

@storm bridge CoC should have the same helmets as CoP. As such, the Steel Helmet can be upgraded with NVG and both the Sphere-12M Helmet and the Tactical Helmet should come with NVG out-of-the-box

lyric forge
#

@finite dragon yeah I only used the sniper for when duty at warehouse asked me to shoot freedoms sniper.
I then stopped right there and didn’t raid freedom as I’m not trying to get on anyone’s bad reputation .
Anyways, when getting ready to defend from monolith coming from that dead forest when freedom asked me to help, I hear the alarms at freedoms base go off.
Duty raided them and killed them all, they didn’t even ask me to help, just blew the wall down and killed them all.

#

After that I kinda wanted to side with duty, literal units.

#

I switched to just using Big Ben and As Val

#

Since at this point of the game, I’m starting to get close to more exo skeletons.

#

I’m on the objective to go inside the Lab where I saved that one guy from bandits and killed that bandit leader.

Stalker 2 cant be bad

lyric forge

Why are snorks bullet sponges feels_bad_stalk

they just enjoy eating them

shrewd dagger

because you're playing Misery

gonna be streaming some anomaly i think thi sw wehere i post strtrwams?

storm bridge
#

whats the deal with anomaly

#

I know its a mod but whats so good about it

robust forge
#

I don't know myself

#

I mean

#

They say that it's the best freeplay

#

But all freeplays in general don't have much going for themselves

storm bridge
#

ill have to give it a try once im done with coc

#

which will be a while

robust forge
#

How can you be done with a freeplay?

storm bridge
#

when im bored of it

robust forge
#

Ah

storm bridge
#

wow its my lucky da

#

y

robust forge
#

Why?

storm bridge
#

I completed a mission which gave me a vss for another mission which gave me twice the amount of the vss and I also killed a pseudogiant

robust forge
#

Nice

#

twice the ammount of vss

storm bridge
#

a hell of a lot of money

robust forge
#

What do you mean by that

storm bridge
#

well the dude said if I got him a vss hed pay twice the cost of it

#

but I got one for free

#

got like 90,000 from him

finite dragon
#

anomaly has all the maps, some new ones, expanded cooking, more melee stuff, disassembling clothing and guns and bullets and using components to replace bad parts on things or repair things

#

just alot of stuff i guess

robust forge
#

What do you mean by all the maps

#

What do you compare it to

finite dragon
#

soc, clear sky, cop

#

those maps along with some new ones

robust forge
#

Well, every freeplay has all vanilla maps IIRC

#

Also the ammount of maps doesn't really count when OP 2.1 exists

shrewd dagger
#

Amomawy is a CoC based mod (or rather Last Day based mod which is based on Call of Misery)

#

It's Last Day (which includes MLR 6.2 which is kind of useless and crappy) + Warfare + its own customizations

#

and they added their own story modes

finite dragon
#

MLR 8.3 has custom maps

shrewd dagger
#

The Misery implementation makes the gameplay awful, the outdated MLR keeps level design vanilla, and nobody really likes its story modes

finite dragon
#

sin quests smile_strelok smile_scar smile_degtyarev

frail spire
#

The story mode only grievance is having to go throught cnpp twice

#

Also unisg having a famas but nowhere to get better armor since they have no shops

lyric forge
#

I'm actually so agitated that I cap put a whole mag from a sniper TRS and 2 from my Big Ben deagle into a snork and he wont die.
Just blows my mind.

#

And it doesnt help that in the lab its so tight of space and fire anomalies are around, the snork just dominates in cqc/

finite dragon
#

just git gud

lyric urchin
#

Yeah just overcome poor balance decisions

shrewd dagger
#

never play vanilla

rare rain
#

well i played all 3 stalker games vanilla

shrewd dagger
#

I was referring to Ether's complaints above

#

I played all 3 vanilla too, when they were new

#

definitely not recommended

rare rain
#

well CS was almost impossible to beat.

tribal jolt
#

CS was a glitchy mess

shrewd dagger
#

Yup, you need SRP at least

#

otherwise Limansk and beyond is a crashfest + save game corruption fest

#

somehow I beat CS on like 1.5.04

rare rain
#

Funny thing is that i've only crashed like once

pseudo rivet
#

CS is the most stable out of them all, funnily enough

shrewd dagger
#

...what?

#

No it's not

#

it's the least stable and most broken

pseudo rivet
#

Suppose so

shrewd dagger
#

SoC and CoP are not even close

rare rain
#

I cant count how many times i had to repeat the CNPP mission is CS because strelok decided to disappear

pseudo rivet
#

I meant with the crashing

#

Not actually gameplay

shrewd dagger
#

it crashes the most by far

pseudo rivet
#

Guess the Zone favors me

shrewd dagger
#

if you're getting crashes in unmodded SoC and CoP then no

pseudo rivet
#

Definitely blessed by the Zone

halcyon nest
#

Never play vanilla, unless you really want to know what stalker can offer without mods

shrewd dagger
#

I'd suggest trying vanilla after playing them with good mods, the reason being when first playing stalker you don't know if you'll like it or not, so might as well try to get the best experience possible with a vanilla+ type of mod like graphics mods + a weapon mod

finite dragon
#

^

#

I regret forcing my way through soc without using OWR 3

pseudo rivet
lyric forge
#

My biggest complaint I have with the series is how inaccurate the guns are and how enemies are bullet sponges.

#

The crashes are a problem, but every gunfight just seems horrid with even a pristine condition gun.

finite dragon
#

weapon mods

shrewd dagger
#

M.O.D.S.

lyric forge
#

Yes I know, let me get thru VANILLA first.

Question for the room

#

How did you get introduced to S.T.A.L.K.E.R first?

#

I'd heard about it for months at the time but a few years back I round a disc copy for Windows of Shadow Of Chernobyl in a Goodwill

#

Safe to say that changed a LOT about me

twilit kindle
#

A well timed steam sale, and a well-timed 'this is the most terrifying game ever' review; I think specifically on the Bloodsuckers on all things being the 'scariest damn things'

#

And I started playing it, and I realized that no, this wasn't eurojank, this was the best FPS ever because of it's flaws.

shrewd dagger
#

Because of its flaws? Its flaws only make it worse

#

I got introduced to it back in 2008 when I first got into PC gaming since I had just gotten a good PC for the first time (GTX 260) and was looking for games with cutting edge tech, which led me to Clear Sky being hailed as one of the first Crysis competitors in terms of tech (along with Far Cry 2) so I got it at launch

lyric forge
#

Back in '13 when I was playing games like L4D2,crackdown(1&2) and recently decided to look over at my brothers laptop and see him play some spooky game.
Turns out it was CS(That was the first one of the series I played) and decided to give that a try. Turned out good.

pseudo rivet
frail spire
#

Got introduced to it after SoC being released since someone suggested it as gopnik simulator, the bugs gave me an aneurism

#

After that I don't even remember and just binge them every few years

twilit kindle
#

The game is super bingable

gaunt merlin
#

i just made it to Pripyat in CoP and holy s*** is this game amazing lol

#

astronomically better then the previous two games

#

IMO

late bramble
#

story was awful what do you mean

#

more plotholes than CS and SoC combined along with the dumbest twist ever

rare rain
#

SoC>CoP>CS

pseudo rivet
#

Ouch

late bramble
#

SoC > CS > CoP by far

#

CoP had 0 substance in its story or writing

#

Even CS had good level design and world building, which CoP lacks severely

pseudo rivet
#

^

late bramble
#

Even if CS is seriously gimped by its broken faction wars system, enemies with invincibility frames, and its rushed poor story

#

CS is prebaked as hell and really couldve used a few more years of development

#

I agree

#

I like them all but can admit CoP is the weakest link

#

I still enjoyed it regardless

rare rain
#

i disliked CS because the end of the game was so glitchy and brutal for me.

late bramble
#

CoP has a really bad end game and the entirity of pripyat is just forced bad story segments and another "epic fight" scene so I really hated it

pseudo rivet
#

Dislikes CS because of the ending

#

Bruh

rare rain
#

tbh i don't even knew what happened in the end of CS

pseudo rivet
#

Darn

rare rain
#

It turned into an arena shooter with portals and then strelok disappeared like 15 times

finite dragon
#

the only truly bad stalker game is CS

pseudo rivet
#

Guess you haven't played CoP?

finite dragon
#

I have played all 3 games

#

cop wins by being functional

#

wrong

pseudo rivet
#

I rather see CS as a challenge

finite dragon
#

CS is so borked that accuracy is bugged

pseudo rivet
#

Accuracy?

#

How

finite dragon
#

ADS on some guns is actually more innacurate

rare rain
#

@finite dragon so you have beaten CS vanilla?

finite dragon
#

like the TRS

rare rain
#

you don't say

pseudo rivet
#

Then don't use the TRs 301 and use an AKM-74/2 instead?

finite dragon
#

that's a garbage excuse for a bad game

pseudo rivet
#

That's called tactics

#

Or just logic

finite dragon
#

just use the gun that's worse because they broke the gun that's supposed to be bettee

pseudo rivet
#

Worse?

#

Lol

finite dragon
#

the TRS is meant to be a direct upgrade from the ak

pseudo rivet
#

Seeing weapons as an upgrade is just what you want to see

late bramble
#

daizen doesnt know what hes talking about once again

#

bratan

#

youre embarassing yourself

#

the trs is not a direct upgrade in CS

finite dragon
#

ok retard

#

because it's broken

late bramble
#

its supposed to be on par with the AK

#

5.45 vs 5.56

#

because of the upgrade system making them pretty much the same in functionality

#

ur fake news

#

CoP is way worse in balancing regards anyway

shrewd dagger
#

CoP is the worst campaign in the series

void vortex
#

Is what a loser would say

robust forge
#

Eh, cop story is pretty meh

#

Like

#

They've tried to stuff an ending after the end

twilit kindle
#

I felt like CoP was the best game, but SoC and CS had a lot more character. Like, CoP was refined and balanced to focus on 'fun' at the cost of being more homogenized

robust forge
#

It was the most refined

twilit kindle
#

I feel like SoC had the best atmosphere and 'feel', while CS, uh, CS was the most ambitious and I really like the idea of faction wars.

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

Yeah, pretty much

twilit kindle
#

So logically if you combine them all together you'll have the most refined product, that is also the most atmospheric, with ambitious faction war options

robust forge
#

Technically

#

Although I don't like the idea of warfare in general

twilit kindle
#

Thus Call of Chernobyl is the best mo-

#

I don't think I like any of the unmodded weapon sets though as much as a proper weapons mod though.

#

I like gun porn in my STALKER

robust forge
#

I prefer EFT weapon modification

twilit kindle
#

Ooooh?

shrewd dagger
#

CoP has the stupidest writing in the stalker series which says a lot

#

Call of Chernobyl has no story or meaningful content

#

and yes Escape from Shartkov is #1 gun porn game

tribal jolt
#

CoP has a shit story and good game play

#

CS has mediocre story and mediocre story

#

SoC has a good story and shit game play

twilit kindle
#

I get what you're saying, and I think I agree for the most part

#

In terms of gameplay, it's CoP > CS > SoC

#

ANd in terms of story, it's reversed

tribal jolt
#

CS is kinda glitchy

shrewd dagger
#

CS has the worst out of the box gameplay

#

CoP gameplay suffers from how they shoved all anomalies into cordoned off sections of maps

merry sundial
#

What about Anomaly

shrewd dagger
#

which kind of defeats the purpose of anomalies

tribal jolt
#

Anomaly isn't vanilla

shrewd dagger
#

I love the Penumbra games

merry sundial
#

😄

tribal jolt
#

CoP tried to make anomalies more predictable

#

which is an oxymoron in itself

shrewd dagger
#

My stalker trifecta is OGSR, OLR, and NLC 7 Build 3.0

robust forge
#

NLC would be my favorite probably

tribal jolt
#

I remember when I just played dead air

robust forge
#

If it was translated

tribal jolt
#

That mod was a slog

shrewd dagger
#

So far I'm doing quite well in understanding the NLC machine translation

#

Also there are some extremely helpful guides, so if I ever don't know what to do I can refer to them

#

It also helps to know people who have played it of course

#

but I'm not even referring to the guide or other people much

#

I like how it really tries to make you figure out things and use your intuition, sort of like a classic RPG in that regard

#

and many quests are less linear and no longer have only one way to do them

tribal jolt
#

Is NLC 7 on the mod list Doc

shrewd dagger
#

It's on the spreadsheet I've posted, but it's also on ModDB now

finite dragon
#

Very Radcy Product

shrewd dagger
#

the machine translation WILL get awful at times due to slang

#

and there's some ukrainian so that just got totally borked, although so far I've only heard of one character speaking ukrainian I think

#

But I can safely say it is the most intelligently designed mod I've ever seen in my 11 years of playing stalker

tribal jolt
#

Is it standalone or do I need to fiddle with files

shrewd dagger
#

NLC 7 is standalone

#

you just have to download it and the translation and run XR_3DA.exe as admin (don't run the launcher)

tribal jolt
#

OK

oblique crypt
#

I'm new to STALKER, by the way.

#

Don't play without Sky Reclaimation project

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, have fun with Clear Sky

#

It's a good game

#

Oh, here we go...

shrewd dagger
#

yeah if you don't use Sky Reclamation Project, you might not be able to finish

#

basically an unofficial patch

#

and it comes with an optional weapon rebalance which you should use

#

here we go indeed

#

does anyone suggest not using SRP? If so, speak up

pseudo rivet
#

I'll stick with Vanilla for now

shrewd dagger
finite dragon
#

imagine willingly playing an objectively inferior version of the game

shrewd dagger
#

all SRP does is fix bugs

finite dragon
#

im aware

#

which makes it the superior version

pseudo rivet
#

Which makes it easier

shrewd dagger
#

Makes it easier? In what way

#

I've got to hear this

pseudo rivet
#

Didn't it fix bugs?

shrewd dagger

Do you know what a bug is

#

Yes

shrewd dagger
#

I'm not so sure that you do

pseudo rivet
#

Alright

"Don't worry clear sky, your future is great!"

finite dragon
#

Clear Sky's bugs are just a stupid burden, theres no reason to play without SRP

robust forge
#

Yeah

vale iris
#

I can say that Clear Sky has a lot of bugs. In my opinion, Call of Pripyat has less bugs, but what's worse, is Lefty's mission.

robust forge
#

CoP is the least buggy one

finite dragon
#

its also in a lot of ways the least interesting one

#

cs is just the least fun one

vale iris
#

I tried to complete this mission, but it has a bug, that Lefty's buddies couldn't move, which is why I had to save before getting the mission from Sakharov.

native ibex
#

Hey y'all

#

We got even the slightest of info or sign of it to come for this game?

pseudo rivet
#

Not from my knowledge, no

#

Maybe RU has

#

They're trying to decipher a secret message

native ibex
#

Yo, I think someone is suggestions said we shouldn't have a TT pistol

#

Today's youth, no respect for tradition, I tells ya

pseudo rivet
#

Some suggestions aren't that great

native ibex
#

I don't expect a masterpiece out of this game, really

#

The originals weren't perfect, but the modding community ironed out the imperfections

#

So, really, just make a nice base and let the fans tinker.

#

Tha's my suggestion.

#

Oops, I'm in the wrong area

robust forge
#

The TT comment was from me

#

And I was just saying

#

That it wouldn't be likely that some inexperienced gopnik took a tokarev to the zone

#

Have you ever shot it?

pseudo rivet
#

Markarov

#

They are the beginning weapon of every Stalker

robust forge
#

Yeah

pseudo rivet
#

They're pretty rare too, right?

#

Or at least

#

Old

robust forge
#

Well, not really

#

Makarovs are a very common sight here in central/Eastern Europe

pseudo rivet
#

Ah

#

Then it makes sense

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

Unlike Tokarevs

pseudo rivet
#

Nothing to worry about

#

I'm just someone who doesn't do his research

robust forge
#

Even excluding its somewhat of a rarity

#

Tokarev is heavy

#

Really heavy

#

And it is as much of a thumb breaker as deagle

#

If not worse thanks to the ergonomics of cheap material used to produce them

#

Same goes for Stechkin or APS

#

(Avtamatychny Puliemiot Stechkina?)

#

Without the holster stock it is impossible to use reliably in automatic fire mode

pseudo rivet
#

It's kinda obvious for an automatic handgun from that era

robust forge
#

Yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Still, it is an impressive feat of engineering

robust forge
#

But I've seen people who want APS in stalker 2

#

It is an iconic weapon, don't get me wrong

#

It just wouldn't be so often seen as glocks, makarovs and Walters P99

#

Three of those pistols are light, pretty reliable and easy to use

#

Maybe Beretta F92 aswell

pseudo rivet
#

It could be implemented as an exotic weapon, like the Black Kite

#

With Bandits walking around with them, but still even rare for them

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

Maybe

pseudo rivet
#

Still, it's an historic weapon, so that would make it a bit weird

native ibex
#

Game should not be too realistic

robust forge
#

It shouldn't

#

It should make sense though

native ibex
#

Rule of cool

pseudo rivet
#

I'd have to disagree, since it is located on our world

native ibex
#

We don't yet have exoskeletons. At least, not in that way.
If we have any at all.

robust forge
#

Well

#

Fiction can have sense based on its own laws

pseudo rivet
#

But it is a concept of reality

robust forge
#

Like blind dogs navigating with noosphere IIRC

native ibex
#

Are the wild dogs blind?

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

#

Blind Dog

#

It says so in the name

native ibex
#

I never saw that. Just dog.

#

Course, I play COC

#

So might be missing lots of lore

pseudo rivet
#

Wikia says the same thing

#

As does the game and the manuals

robust forge
#

But anyways

#

You get me

native ibex
#

No indicator through my gameplay.

robust forge
#

Maybe exos are powered by artifacts

CoC

Who knows

native ibex
#

But I love what they do with the black dog.
High radiation which could kill someone later.
It is like one of those hellhound or grims.
An omen of death.

pseudo rivet
#

The Devs never thought so far

native ibex
#

You think they'll use the tree monster concept from the cancelled game?
I'd love to worry about camouflaged monsters.

pseudo rivet
#

You mean the Antropomorphus Dendromutantus Vulgaris?

robust forge
#

I'd love to see the concept UI in stalker 2 XD

native ibex
#

Big nerd flex

pseudo rivet
#

Forest Goblin

#

The tree looking mutant

#

Rock confirmed to me that the Forest Goblin won't be added

#

No clue about the others

native ibex
#

Boooo

#

Such a fun idea

#

I'd love to see mutants which are much better to deal with in ways other than fighting.
Thinking like the librarians from the Metro 2033 game.

pseudo rivet
#

Blind Dogs and Pseudodogs are known to be territorial

#

As such, you can avoid fighting them altogether

#

Since they'll warn you when you come into their territory

robust forge
#

Yeah

native ibex
#

Generally, in STALKER, they are typically in my way.

finite dragon
#

except in most hardcore meme mods where they justlock onto you as soon as you load into the map

pseudo rivet
#

Meme Mods, yes

#

This is the case with most mutants, to be honest

#

The Zone is still a part of Nature

#

As such, Mutants will attack when you come into their territory

finite dragon
#

ive seen psuedodogs just charge at me as soon as i enter rostok from army warehouses in anomaly

native ibex
#

Me too

pseudo rivet
#

That's normal, though

#

It's because of Duty

native ibex
#

It is old AI, I cannot blame.

pseudo rivet
#

Since Duty attacks the Zone, they retaliate against their attackers

finite dragon
#

No, that's not vanilla AI

#

that's cause of muh hardcore mod!!!11!!! for real gamers!!1!1

pseudo rivet
#

It doesn't matter who comes in their path. They'll tear them to shreds

native ibex
#

I don't suppose psuedodogs have better lore than being irradiated mutant dogs?

#

Crimson's name is a shade of purple which does not play nicely with my vision.

pseudo rivet
#

From my knowledge, no

native ibex
#

Very interesting way light works

robust forge
#

Well

#

You know

pseudo rivet
#

Only that they're tameable and territorial, much like real animals

#

Yeah, purple usually works like that

robust forge
#

I bet that noosphere or labs are responsible for all mutations

#

Because well

#

We all know that radiation doesn't work that way

native ibex
#

It doesn't LIKELY work that way

robust forge
#

No

native ibex
#

So you agree

robust forge
#

It just breaks bonds in DNA

native ibex
#

Maybe I'm reaching too far.

finite dragon
#

ahem

#

just because something doesn't work that way irl doesnt mean it cant work that way in fiction

#

let fiction be FAKE

robust forge
#

Well, it's based on our laws of physics

native ibex
#

Quantum physics dictates that a broken object COULD suddenly fix itself, but of course, I guess it is not a good idea to hold your breath waiting.

robust forge
#

And we have something called noosphere in stalker

#

It is the fiction element

#

That'd make fleshes actually don't die

#

Or make snorks lunge for such distances

pseudo rivet
#

We still don't know a lot about mutations

#

Only that they can't be triggered by radiation

native ibex
#

Fleshes should definitely die.
Not because they are unhealthy, but because they are filth.

pseudo rivet
#

At least not in such a short time span

robust forge
#

Not only that

#

I mean

#

Those hooves/claws would break under their own weight

native ibex
#

Hey, let's build perpetual motion with artifacts

#

Instant prosperity.

robust forge
#

Well, anomalies and artifacts defy laws of physics already

native ibex
#

Why must the laws of physics be such wet rags anyways?

robust forge
#

Must be what?

pseudo rivet
#

That's only at the Zone

native ibex
#

It means why must the laws of physics be so restrictive.

#

A wet rag or stick in the mud means something which is not fun or the opposite of fun.

robust forge
#

Ah

#

Well

#

Because the world is pretty complex, you know

native ibex
#

I think we'll have reality all figured out in 10,000 years or less, unless we discover some broad new region of physics.

robust forge
#

We probably won't be able to comprehend the world

#

It's just too complex

#

Like with quarks

#

We thought that nucleons are the limit

#

But there is something smaller

#

Which is most likely built from something even smaller

#

And so on, and so on

#

Also add the differences between quantum and relativity theorems

pseudo rivet
#

Not everything in the world can be explained

robust forge
#

We don't even know the answer

pseudo rivet
#

So why the Zone?

native ibex
#

That is why I love fantasy

#

The human mind imagines something more flavorful.

robust forge
#

You know, slapping noosphere as an explanation should be enough

native ibex
#

I find the theory on quantum fluctuations potentially birthing universes to be quite fascinating.

pseudo rivet
#

Ah

#

A fellow Child of Atom, eh?

native ibex
#

That anything that is technically possible will eventually happen is a really neat idea.

#

Lol, praise be to the Glow

#

I am so excited that, as long as I am not killed, I will live long enough to see consciousness explained.

#

(Unless this leads us down a rabbit hole where consciousness is emergent from something or somewhere else.
I am already under the impression that consciousness alters the behavior of quanta around where it occurs)

robust forge
#

Neurology is weird

pseudo rivet
#

I rather live in the here and suffering

#

But yeah, Schrodinger's Cat is interesting indeed

native ibex
#

Reality is strange.

#

Too many options.
Maybe it's all fake, maybe this is only one aspect of it, so on and so forth.
Too much uncertainty.
The only lovecraftian horror is that of science's revelations.

robust forge
#

Pretty much

#

We really don't know anything about our world

#

We just know some vague frames of existence

#

That's all

pseudo rivet
#

We live the line the world is laying down for is

#

That's all that matters

#

We can't just walk over to what could be

#

The future is uncertain

#

And yet, it is

#

Because whatever the future will be, it will definitely happen

#

No matter what

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

There is a theory behind everything being planned from the start

#

I mean

native ibex
#

I don't know if I find determinism more confining or liberating.

pseudo rivet
#

We're playing a part of the greatest puzzel ever made

#

It's just waiting to be pieced together

robust forge
#

From the world's beginning some particles were hitting other particles which were hitting other

#

And it all was already planned

#

With the first particle move

pseudo rivet
#

And this is where we stumble into the first dilemma

#

Was reality created through a Power or through Nature?

#

God?

robust forge
#

It's not really a dilemma as much as a question with no known answers

pseudo rivet
#

The Big Bang?

native ibex
#

Well, from what I'm seeing, if there is God, he is a big fuckin' meme lord

pseudo rivet
#

Guess that makes Memers Christians and Jews

#

Funnily enough, the Bible predicts some of the things that will happen and have happened already

native ibex
#

Some of them.

#

And some people have predicted futures in ways luck can hardly explain alone.

#

Which does again cause me to think consciousness interacts with nature beyond the 5 senses.

pseudo rivet
#

But from all the way back from that time?

native ibex
#

I cannot see now how the Bibles' end time prophecies can be fulfilled.
There is supposed to be a time of great war and rape, and yet these things are looking to soon fade in coming centuries.

#

Anything that makes us human now will likely undergo rapid transformation.
"Humans" will be less natural process and more man made design and materials.

pseudo rivet
#

I don't know

#

People are growing more apart from each other

native ibex
#

Perhaps reality is so ever changing that divine beings one existed and were possible, but faded, to be replaced by solid laws and rules.
Perhaps the fantastical fades with time.

#

What's up with tarks?
How does a horse become bulky savage killer when they are herbivores?

pseudo rivet
#

Revering to the Stalker 2 mutants?

native ibex
#

Maybe

#

I thought it was just cut

pseudo rivet
#

They are

#

For now, the best explanation would be the Noosphere

native ibex
#

The magic explanation

pseudo rivet
#

Yep

#

As usual with Stalker

#

Some mutants are explained

#

Such as Controllers and Burers

#

But that's where it ends

native ibex
#

Karlitos should have been added.
Could have been rather neutral instead of hostile.
Big teddy bear lookin' peaceable things.

pseudo rivet
#

That's what the Forest Goblin was focused to be

#

A peaceful mutant, they act as sirens, bringing Stalkers to sleep with their songs

#

After that, they grab the sleeping Stalker and bring them to their lair to feast on their bodies\

native ibex
#

That's not very peaceful

pseudo rivet
#

Indeed, but not directly hostile

native ibex
#

Now that would be neat.
The player might have to avoid falling asleep with either a prompt or getting distance from the creature.

pseudo rivet
#

They are canon, but they will not appear in Stalker 2

native ibex
#

Were sleeping bags part of vanilla stalker?
I ask because you'd have to be insane to sleep unguarded in the zone.

pseudo rivet
#

I don't think so

#

At least, not the release games

#

But I do not know about the Builds

#

I doubt it, though

native ibex
#

You think they'll add new mutants in 2?

pseudo rivet
#

I don't know

#

Would be interesting, though

native ibex
#

I have heavy doubts about it's odds of completion.

#

Might just be STALKER remake, really.
Same content level, prettier graphics.

finite dragon
#

that would be stupid

native ibex
#

They might be restricted

#

Game development is not cheap, nor stable.

finite dragon
#

if what they say is true, then they have plenty of funding

pseudo rivet
#

AAA quality

native ibex
#

Really?

finite dragon
#

eys

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

finite dragon
#

yes

native ibex
#

I bet I know who's behind that

finite dragon
#

sergiy sold is ferrari to pay for s2 smile_strelok

native ibex
#

They are working hard with vodka-fueled 3D modeling computer, no doubt

#

I tell you, if the devs want to remove tushkanos

#

My heart will not be broken

pseudo rivet
#

They're pretty rare

native ibex
#

They little shits

pseudo rivet
#

I believe it would be nice to see more of a swarm, instead of just a few of them

#

Add a bit of challenge to them, instead of being a waste of ammo

native ibex
#

Yeah, a swarm would be both a challenge and a way to ensure the player always carries a grenade out of sheer fear of being unprepared.

pseudo rivet
#

Although, it would take more bullets

#

Yep

native ibex
#

Why the hell does my keyboard think I mean a name when I spell carries?
Who is more likely to be referring to someone named Carrie than to be using the words carry or carries?

pseudo rivet
#

The auto-correction system needs to be calibrated through experience

native ibex
#

Anyways, chimeras.
Make them minibosses.
Make them horrifying.
Make them nearly something you want to avoid without some great gear.

pseudo rivet
#

They pretty much already are

native ibex
#

Eh, few knife stabs or shotgun blasts while abusing cover and you got it.

pseudo rivet
#

Master Difficulty?

native ibex
#

But imagine if the things could climb and crawl through spaces, making it a game of stealth to get past a chimera, resulting in almost certain death if you fail to get by it unnoticed.

pseudo rivet
#

Or Mod?

native ibex
#

Sure, sure.

#

I am just saying, by default, make them the stuff of horror.
Give them new unique sounds.
Maybe even employ human speech as a lure.

pseudo rivet
#

Human Speech?

native ibex
#

Yeah.

finite dragon
#

flesh were going to do that in the design docs

pseudo rivet
native ibex
#

Creepy

finite dragon
#

they actually have cut voice lines for it too

native ibex
#

Where could I find those?

pseudo rivet
#

I'd like a listen to those

finite dragon
#

one second

pseudo rivet
#

For now, the Controller and the Burer are the only Mutants capable of speech

#

Logical, as they were human experiments from the Secret Service

#

And their psychological powers, too

native ibex
#

Making the chimera the beholder of STALKER... that is my dream

#

Definitely cannot find info on fleshes having speech.
Perhaps barried in Ukrainian or Russian or something somewhere deep in the web.

finite dragon
#

it's kind of an obscure thing but some mods restore the voice lines, i know OGSE has it on by default

native ibex
#

Hmm, I will try to view this

#

Atm I am getting an error for too many redirects

pseudo rivet
#

I haven't seen anything about voicelines

native ibex
#

I don't imagine flesh are intelligent enough for it, tbh

#

Such lowly creatures

pseudo rivet
#

It seems like RU Wikia is also citating fan-made books?

native ibex
#

I guess what I was trying to express is that it would be awesome to have the Chimera be akin to the aliens in Alien: Isolation

#

Big fuckin' nope

#

The zone is definitely PTSD central

native ibex
#

My conversational partners are gone

hot lance
#

don't we have bloodsuckers for the big no no experience already?

twilit kindle
#

I was thinking, what would be the biggest 'oh no' factor that hasn't yet been explored yet in a regular mutant

#

I think it would be a mutant that would infest the area around it in anomalies.

#

A kind of 'harbringer' of the zone that would be pushing the boundaries, and spreading it

#

The problem is that something like that would either need to be very big, I feel, to reflect the weight of a big awful thing that saturates the area around it in whirligigs,

#

Or inversely, very small, like a reptile or a toad or a rabbit

#

Something big could be more easily contained, in theory

#

Where something very small could not only be more likely to sneak through cordons, but also be in places where randomly generating anomolies would be very, very dangerous, like in underground labs

native ibex
#

Bloodsuckers? Just invisible bois

#

Humanoids not the big scary

boreal star
#

Im playing stalker soc again and im going to go to agroprom again, the last time i played it was horrible i ran out of ammo most of the time and had to go through there with a pistol how should i prepare before going there?

native ibex
#

Buy a bunch of ammo

boreal star
#

From who? I know i can move the door and go to the bar but duty will shoot me then

#

I already went though it before with ammo running out most of the time and it was horrible

shrewd dagger
#

buy ammo from sid and loot it from bodies

#

besides, it's not that hard

#

even when forced to use a pistol

#

just shoot everyone in the head

boreal star
#

That happened to me

#

Sid doesnt sell any ak ammo

finite dragon
#

f5 f9

shrewd dagger
#

dead soldiers drop AK ammo

finite dragon
#

refresh inventories

#

keep a shotgun

#

use the viper 5

shrewd dagger
#

Restart the game on Master level

finite dragon
#

Be attentive

shrewd dagger
boreal star
#

Im playing it already at the highest difficulty and i already went through agroprom with that too

finite dragon
#

i like how there's so many pseudogiants in coc

boreal star
#

Do the duty still get aggressive if you open the gate to the bar and come back?

finite dragon
#

just do it

#

its not hard

#

just be attentive

shrewd dagger
#

they probably do get hostile yeah

boreal star
#

I have a lot of money so i could buy ammo, but comming back would be difficult

finite dragon
#

bandits have ammo on them

#

so do the soldiers in agroprom

boreal star
#

Still last time i went there i kept running out

twilit kindle
#

Everyone is kind of touching on the important piece: you need to up your scav game

#

I generally run into ammo issues whenever I go to X-18, so I find that you need a balance of carefully managing ammo, to carefully picking firefights, to carefully letting people kill each other and looting the remainders.

finite dragon
#

how do you ever have ammo issues other than at the CNPP rush through the teleporters

#

the game is almost constantly throwing ammo at you

boreal star
#

If you enter the bar by pushing the door open, duty guards will get aggressive forever, but there's only 3 of them and once you kill them the other duty is neutral and the door is open forever

twilit kindle
#

I don't know what happens at X-18, I suspect it's because it's a long distance from a proper resupply unless you raid the bandit base on the north side of Dark Valley, which also tends to cost a lot of ammo to raid unless you are good at stealth

lyric forge
#

Can't even describe how helpful Big Ben is for me in Soc, legit a pocket AWP.
I'm running Sniper TRS-301 and Big ben, both holding 200+ rounds of AP ammo.
Also, Should I buy exo skeleton or heavily armored military suit?(don't know exact name, all I know is barkeeper is selling for 160k RU)

finite dragon
#

skat9 imo

#

exo makes you slow

#

that and theres a couple free exos in the CNPP

frail spire
#

Dunno, exos are usually too much compromise for me, feel like suits only made for firefights, being able to mix a heavy suit with a good helmet outweights it tbh

#

No need to pay an upgrade to run neither

lyric forge
#

Yeah forget the exo than

lyric forge
#

Anyways, usually dark area's obscure my vision quite a bit, and first gen night vision are horrible,yet those suits provide better armor than the scientist suits.
I dont run into much anomalies, well, I ignore them really, though the SP99M suit has a much more clear night vision, yet armor is lower.
I want to be quite low on carry weight since I want to keep my running from never diminishing.
Whats your call?

finite dragon
#

use your flashlight + moonlight artifacts if you want infinite run

#

go into wild territory at midnight

#

there are moonlights that give +108 endurance

lyric forge
#

Currently I’m running mamas’s bead+ 4 flash.

#

Haven’t came across moonlight

finite dragon
#

i just told you

#

wild territory at midnight

lyric forge
#

I know but I haven’t stopped by there at that time just to get them yet

native ibex
#

CoC, be me, shooting baddies with .308 armor piercing rounds.
Bad guys still be taking a second and even third round sometimes.
One inch of me is visible from blocks away, get one-shotted in SCAT-9m armor by monolith with druganov

#

It is not fair

lyric urchin
#

Sounds like you haven't gotten good yet buddy

tribal jolt
#

Haha

#

That 1 inch matters

#

I've killed men over 1 cm

native ibex
#

Wait, are there unlisted artifact effects? Asking because the guy up above is saying flashlight effects moonlights.

lyric forge
#

@native ibex No, I was looking for a recommendation on armor for night vision since scientist have the best and military grade have the worst.
Moonlight is just an endurance artifact, nothing more.
And what was meant by flashlight was rather just take that option over reg NVG.

native ibex
#

Oh

#

It would be neat though if, since it is named moonlight it could enhance the effects of the moon's light for the user.

#

Rather on the nose, though.

lyric urchin
#

Or maybe certain artifacts have their own mechanic, like Moonlight makes the daylight really bright but gives slight night vision, etc,

native ibex
#

Ye

#

Exactly

finite dragon
#

I am having a problem with the stalkersoup mod but i am not sure where to ask

#

So i cleared out a military base and got the military documents and now i need to rescue mole but whenever i go towards him the mission is cancelled

late bramble
#

the problem is that youre playing stalkersoup

#

garbage mod just play NS or OP2

finite dragon
#

maybe

shrewd dagger
#

That is sadly correct

#

Stalkersoup is perpetually broken

finite dragon
#

looks like ill have to play another mod

#

and lose the like 20k worth of shit i got from killing a trader early on

shrewd dagger
#

if you want something like stalkersoup but more stable, I'd play Narodnaya Solyanka 2016 which is on moddb

tribal jolt
#

2nd year school pictures bc_right

hasty orbit
#

Will S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s first game ever get patched?

finite dragon
#

Shadow of chernobyl?

#

It already has many official and unofficial patches

tribal jolt
#

I don't think it will

shrewd dagger
#

lol what

finite dragon
#

coc crashed right before i saved it

#

kms

shrewd dagger
#

I don't think regular CoC is worth playing

#

Dead mod and there are various forks of it that are just better

finite dragon
#

well i like coc

lyric forge
#

why?
The story was atrocious and the zone itself wasn't very appealing to me besides somewhat of pripyat.
vanilla was probs a 5 1/2-6/10

finite dragon
#

i mean

#

the original game is better of course but

#

the free roam

shrewd dagger
#

If you like CoC, you should play one of the CoC forks that's just an expanded/better version of it, like Call of Chernobyl by stason174

cyan garden
#

coc is just a platform for modding

shrewd dagger
#

can't wait for Call of Chernobyl Back to the Roots to finish

#

yeah think of CoC as a platform

lyric forge
#

yeah what @cyan garden said

cyan garden
#

like gmod

finite dragon
#

yeah

shrewd dagger
#

CoC by stason174 has the most active free roam and improved levels

finite dragon
#

ill keep that in mind

lyric forge
#

anyways @shrewd dagger does barkeep stop selling high tier military grade armor in SoC after you finish brain scorch?
Because I just got done with that and wanted to liquidate all assets to get the 160K RU one and head out, instead I'm using a basic military grade suit feels_bad_stalk

shrewd dagger
#

no he doesn't

lyric forge
#

wtf

#

he wont sell it to me but he'll sell some exo's

#

dumb

shrewd dagger
#

I think it has a low chance of appearing in his inventory

lyric forge
#

Hmph... Yeah I shoulda purchased it earlier before the scorcher, and I don't want an exo since I cant run :[

robust forge
#

Yeah, exos are kinda meh in stalker

#

I mean

#

They're pretty cool novelty

#

And I really like the minimalistic/utilitaristic design of them

tribal jolt
#

They are slow

#

and to a lot of people

#

that means a lot

rare rain
#

Going fast> having more armor

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

And there isn't such a thing as "too fast" in stalker

tribal jolt
#

The only artifacts you need are anti rad and endurance

#

and maybe carry weight

robust forge
#

I like to have something against rupture aswell

native ibex
#

Definitely carry weight

#

I love hauling tons of stuff back to my stash

#

G o l d f i s h

twilit kindle
#

Carry weight is useful for a very long time

#

Especially when you are still trying to figure out what gun you really like

frail spire
#

Carry 4 guns, who cares about healing and armor

native ibex
#

There are medkits you can spam for that

frail spire
#

I usually take a 5.56 a 7.62 and a shotgun plus a smg or a pistol that uses 9x19

#

Wait no, which caliber were the AK guns?

native ibex
#

5.45 and 7.62

frail spire
#

Then 5.45 not 7.62

#

Honestly I find most snipers pointless since you can just slap a pso-m-1 and you're fine and dandy

#

Or use the 5.56 rifles as marksman rifles too

lyric forge
#

How many medkits and anti rad packs are required to go thru cnpp safely?
I walked in with 20 med kits and 12 anti rad and it feels impossible

finite dragon
#

at least 30

#

i usually have 40 anti rad on me

lyric forge
#

yeah its just such a stress fighting for anti rads and medkits when im getting swiss cheesed by exos and 9x39 rifles 24/7

#

I legit have not taken a break from a single bullet

#

even if im not near them, on the other side of the wall, they'll still shoot me{even though there bullets do not hit me}

#

and there prefire corner peaking skills are damn csgo comp finals-like.

Just let me beat this game so I can go to sleep feels_bad_stalk

name 1 thing why monolit bad

wherever i go a monolith jumps out of a bush and yells ''FOR MONOLITH''

pseudo rivet

Because you kill heretics

robust forge

I mean, I get that some people are into stuff like masochism and mutilation, but I think that willfull lobotomy is a bit too far, you know

finite dragon

is it just me or the monolith has the best gear

pseudo rivet
#

To a certain extent

finite dragon
robust forge
#

it has the best gear because of game laws

finite dragon
#

yes

robust forge
#

they're late-game enemies

finite dragon
#

i mean

#

they're full of exos

pseudo rivet
#

At least Veterans and Experts

#

Novices and Experienced just use Monolith Bodysuits

finite dragon
#

they're pretty good too

#

the monolith suits

#

imo

pseudo rivet
#

In that regard, the Military would have better gear

finite dragon
#

i dont really like the military

#

they're bullying me in soc

robust forge
#

nobody likes the military

#

they're early enough in the game to give you some hard time but then they're just left for themselves after Agroprom

#

which makes them look very irrelevant

finite dragon
#

for the first time when you get out of the rookie village

#

they having an outpost under the bridge right?

#

have

#

would they let me through because when i saw them for the first time i killed them for the gear

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

uhh

ok at least i had their gear when i went to agroprom for the first time

This is... Interesting?

#

Does someone have a link to Open scopes for vanilla cop with AO3.1? I'm searching for it but i can't find anything.

finite dragon
#

Don't use arsenal overhaul

tribal patio
#

but i like it

finite dragon
#

it sucks

tribal patio
#

why tho?

finite dragon
#

weapon quality is lower and less consistent

#

use stcop

tribal patio
#

i like the fact that the weapons in AO have generally more recoil and are harder to control.

#

Don't know how they behave in that

robust forge
#

Let the man enjoy what he likes

finite dragon
#

stcop is better thanarsenal overhaul in almost every regard

robust forge
#

I personally prefer stcop aswell

#

And I think that it's better

#

But don't make him download it

finite dragon
#

i will shill the superior mods

robust forge
#

And I will go to sleep

#

Gn

tribal patio
#

how do guns behave in it compared to AO?

finite dragon
#

realistically and goodly

tribal patio
#

hmm

#

ok

#

why not

shrewd dagger
#

STCoP 3.2 has far better model quality than AO, better animations, and it has PiP/dual render scopes that are gorgeous

lyric urchin
#

Do they have the selection size of AO

#

And/or is that available for CoC

native ibex
#

What is it meaning for the scoles to duel render?

shrewd dagger
#

similarly sized selection to AO, and there's a beta CoC mod with STCoP 3.2 but it's not ready for prime time yet

#

dual render = only the scope zooms in not the rest of the picture

native ibex
#

Also, AO has a few extra weapons, but seem to not cause enemies to reel in pain when shot, so they tend to just keep shooting like terminators even when you pump lead into them

finite dragon
#

PiP scopes are the future

#

long live pip scopes

native ibex
#

My STCOP just blacks out everything but what is seen through the scope

finite dragon
#

how good is your pc

native ibex
#

It's nothing to do with that, but she can handle STALKER fine

#

I assume it's just the version used for CoC

finite dragon
#

ohhh for coc

#

yeah no coc's version isn't 3.2

#

its 2.9 i believe

#

3.2 has the PiP scopews

#

but thats only for cop as of right now

native ibex
#

That we cannot do the swore

#

Is big cruelty

shrewd dagger
#

There's a CoC mod with STCoP 3.2 and PiP scopes, but it's a rough alpha right now

#

not even worthy of being called beta

#

it's called Back to the Roots

lyric forge
#

Well I finished SoC vanilla on master, off to CS now.
Damn that story was amazing......

shrewd dagger
#

Remember to use SRP with Clear Sky, otherwise you might not be able to finish it

slender rune
#

I like how in the first part of Clear Sky your bullets just phase out of existence after traveling 3 inches

shrewd dagger
#

that's just how Clear Sky is by default, absolutely horrendous ballistics and balancing

#

SRP actually comes with optional files to undo that I believe

lyric forge
#

I just want to play the game vanilla and complete it.
I know mods can help and you may call me dumb for not using to fix the game, but vanilla is vanilla.
Trust me, when I'm done with CS and CoP vanilla im jumping right into anomaly or some mod

#

It was one hell of a pain playing SoC vanilla and how horrid the gun accuracy and DMG was, but I had to deal with it/

#

.*

finite dragon
#

Play Oblivion lost Remake, OGSE, and NLC 7

#

and Spatial Anomaly

lyric forge
#

Yeah if I can even remember those by the time I finish the whole series on master, DM me that if you can tho.

#

I tried installing anomaly and it crashed upon me spawning in so I just deleted the whole thing

#

Im kinda a pleb at installing and what not

#

I'm not the shiniest tool in the shed.

#

chrome glade

robust forge

Hmm. He is kinda like Baba Yaga

chrome glade
#

idk im not on this server a lot

robust forge
#

Ik

#

But trust me

#

Someone will swear

#

He might feel safe

#

Even comfortable

#

And suddenly out of the shadows he emerges

#

Covered in heavy clothes

#

Heavy from the suffering

#

Wet from the tears

#

And then BAM!

#

He warned the swearing guy

#

And reemerged into the shadow realm

#

With another soul of someone we call here

#

The Warned One

finite dragon
#
