#

It's pretty good for early-to-X18 tho

lyric forge
#

Constant E/Q tapping against tight corners intensifies

finite dragon
#

Agreed @lyric forge

#

But tbh, Duty seems like they are good like

#

I like then

lyric forge
#

I personally carry multiple primaries with me, with though that it was like cop where you can just have two primaries.

finite dragon
#

But I can't join them in SoC

lyric forge
#

Why would you want to join them?

finite dragon
#

I like their bases

#

very secure

lyric forge
#

Its going to be a pain getting to the brain scorcher, and when you deactivate it, loners, freedom, and duty are going to be outside fighting, so you'll be in the cross fire

#

think about down the road when trying to access other zones.

finite dragon
#

Well, better duty than freedom...

lyric forge
#

like duty at rostok, you join freedom, duty shoots on sight

finite dragon
#

Rly? I will have to join freedom?

lyric forge
#

It's best to stay loner.

finite dragon
#

agreed

#

but in SoC i can't join any faction

#

but I can be a n allie of theirs

lyric forge
#

SoC, just focus on the main objectives and build your inventory down the road, CS is for factions.

finite dragon
#

ok then

#

thx for the advise

#

but will I meet the Monlith guys is SoC,

#

?*

lyric forge
#

No probs, I'm still figuring out what to do for myself in CS lol.
Either join loners for faction war on bandits and they kill me on sight, or stay loner and they strip me of money on sight

#

monolith in every stalker game is at the near end

finite dragon
#

Oh

#

Imagine being a Loners so you can manipulate Duty and Freedom into killing each others and then steal all their gears. Good time

blissful cliff
#

You can join freedom in soc

lyric forge
#

you'll meet them first iirc at warehouses infront of freedom HQ, when they come from brain scorcher through taht dead forest.

finite dragon
#

the last time I played SoC i was searchung for a guys gun

#

And then I got into some mercenary vs ecologist fight...

#

Or gouverment scientist....

#

Btw @finite dragon there's a lot of good stuff in Freedom base. Search around and you'll see.

#

fighting mercs

#

@finite dragon well,I will still have to wait till I get hone

#

home*

lyric forge
#

@finite dragon you can do that.
if you complete the quest for duty by taking the sniper for freedom out, than collect reward and leave duty, they'll raid the base themselves.

finite dragon
#

I did that, two time. Got a lot of good stuffs

#

Thats some twisted s**t

#

But why don't you just kill everyone in sight and be a solo

lyric forge
#

i kinda was at an ultimate decision, do i want to get between factions and causes myself to be harmed by other factions, or walk away?
I walked away and duty didnt care, they still raided.

finite dragon
#

Kill mercs, freedom, duty,military and etc

blissful cliff
finite dragon
#

you kill them in sight

#

and then bam

#

you have good loot

#

No you'll get yourself into a world of pain for that

#

big brain time

lyric forge
#

killing on solo on master diff and not having proper armor/equipment, ill admit defeat.

finite dragon
#

The law won

blissful cliff
#

That's sad, that all mercs are enemies in soc

finite dragon
#

tbh,I hate mercs

lyric forge
#

mercs at warehouses are quite territorial, they wont wonder off to kill you, just dont bother them.

blissful cliff
#

Why? @finite dragon

finite dragon
#

They are very.... rude

lyric forge
#

they are hostile, but they wont waste their time on you'

finite dragon
#

I mean, I had to kill some mercs

#

and got some good loot

lyric forge
#

mercs are like upgraded in every way bandits, except bandits out number them

finite dragon
#

agreed

blissful cliff
#

Mercs are greatly upgraded bandits. Professionals and with excellent gear

lyric forge
#

mercs first off have the best exo, always have good guns, as oppose to bandits, they're hefty trash bags with ghetto guns they probs stole.

blissful cliff
#

And mercs have rare artifacts

lyric forge
#

yeah

finite dragon
#

I still remember that time when the Bandits robbed me! TWICE!!

#

Tbh bandits are easy to kill

blissful cliff
#

Mercs on veteran begin to be a problem

finite dragon
#

I play on novice, bc I am still a noob

#

I have to confess that

lyric forge
#

Bandits are just so common to run across, but I'd rather deal with 15 bandits than 5 mercs.

blissful cliff
#

Try to make your difficulty higher

#

You will get used to it

finite dragon
#

@blissful cliff can't,I am a scardy cat

blissful cliff
#

Just chill

finite dragon
#

Okay then

#

I'll get home and start a new campaign

#

on normal

lyric forge
#

the true experience is master difficulty, you won't be so much of a bullet sponge and running and gunning as you probs do.

blissful cliff
#

Great

#

Start with looting every house in novice village

#

You will have a good loot

finite dragon
#

okay then

lyric forge
#

Nah forget normal.

#

go straight to master and learn there

#

like i did

blissful cliff
#

I started with veteran

#

Clear sky on master is pain

lyric forge
#

I started with stalker, but it wasn't fun being so strong.

#

I wanted a challenge.

#

I'm on CS with master currently LMAO

finite dragon
#

well, then i'll start on master....

lyric forge
#

im currently deciding what to do about bandits at garbage taking my money.

finite dragon
#

and learn how to play...

blissful cliff
#

Master is pain

#

Start with normal/veteran

lyric forge
#

wdym its pain? if you have a wall to peak, and a gun to aim, whats the problem?

finite dragon
#

okay then

blissful cliff
#

Opponents can kill you with 1 shot, while you waste much more to kill 1 enemy

finite dragon
#

oh

#

then I'll go on veteran

lyric forge
#

i think the biggest pain so far for cs master is just the mg from military at cordon, running from that was hell.

#

other than that, you'll mainly be peaking the entire game.

#

but give master a shot @finite dragon , you'll probs like it.

finite dragon
#

okay then

#

What mods do yoy recommend for SoC?

#

you*

blissful cliff
#

Lost alpha

finite dragon
#

sorry I have fat fingers

blissful cliff
finite dragon
#

And i missclick sometimes

#

So Lost Alpha

#

its free?

#

or I have to pay for it?

blissful cliff
#

Yes, it's free

finite dragon
#

Good

#

Then i'll download it too

#

thx for the help

lyric forge
#

all mods are free.

finite dragon
#

Nice

lyric forge
#

also

finite dragon
#

then i think that i'll download Solyanka too

lyric forge
#

make sure to join mercs

finite dragon
#

If that a mod

#

And okay

#

I'll join mercs

#

But it has a storyline?

#

Oh wait gtg

#

I have class

#

see ua

#

see ya*

lyric forge
#

cya

#

its like 2am idk why im away

pseudo rivet
#

CS on Master is the ultimate pleasure

lyric forge
#

how lmao

pseudo rivet
#

I'm definitely a masochist

lyric forge
#

yes probs are

pseudo rivet
#

Yep

lyric forge
#

what ive learned so far

#

is that you'll never have a better friend in stalker like a wall .

pseudo rivet
#

The Zone is a harsh and unforgiving place.

lyric forge
#

a wall is your best friend

#

protects you from bad guys

#

i always have the advantage with the wall by my side and infront of me

#

well, inhumane yes, as for living, no one is to trust in the zone

#

i cant even trust myself going places knowing ill be walking right into my grave.

pseudo rivet
#

Try to avoid conflict whenever you can

#

With other words

#

Be a coward

robust forge
#

^

pseudo rivet
#

Saves ammo and a lot of time

#

Same with mutants, too

#

We're just waltzing into their territory, their home

lyric forge
#

yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Best to leave them be

lyric forge
#

i always wanted to know what its like to stay at cordon 24/7

#

just stay and eat bread

pseudo rivet
#

Boring but calm

lyric forge
#

waiting for the next stalker to come running from an mg like i did

#

maybe if strelok just stayed at cordon the zone wouldn't be like it is now

#

maybe if we all just joined c-con, we can live in a better place.

#

Damn strelok and his desires for going out and doing what he did.

#

all he had to do was kill himself and the series could've ended there.

pseudo rivet
#

Then we wouldn't have this game franchise

smoky zephyr
#

Tbh I don't really trust c con

#

I don't know if destroying them was the right thing to do

#

But I wouldn't side with them either

candid shard
#

Of course you cant trust CCon, they used their abilities to create a faction of religious fanatics worshiping a rock.

#

Could you imagine what people with that kinda responsibility would do with actual power over the nu-sphere.

#

#Strelockwasright

granite bison
#

Im surprised the CCon dont argue among themselves even if its like being one whole man you still have those problems that split your brain in half

finite dragon
#

Just killed a cordon in SoC

#

I started it again

#

killed a cordon

#

but this time of STALKER dificulty

#

Killed an entire cordon*

#

sorry

#

Hi stalkers

#

How are you today

#

killed an entire cordon.

#

yep

#

thats

#

im fine too

#

not words

#

that doesnt make sense

#

the one from the bridge

#

a cordon

#

6-7 soldiers

#

you mean

#

the military checkpoint

#

the entire map is the cordon

#

Yeah

#

The checkboing

#

checkpoint*

#

I killed a military checkpoint

#

K

late bramble
#

a military checkpoint is a cordon @finite dragon

#

a line or circle of police, soldiers, or guards preventing access to or from an area or building.

#

hence the name of the map

finite dragon
#

but that doesnt make sense in the context of the game

late bramble
#

what

#

u dumb

finite dragon
#

when people say "cordon" 99% of the time they mean the map the cordon

late bramble
#

it makes sense

#

you just werent attentive

finite dragon
#

they dont mean "the military checkpoint midway through the cordon at the bridge"

late bramble
#

he clearly did

#

be more attentive and you wouldve caught that

#

you miss the important detail

#

be attentive

finite dragon
#

yes ebcause i corrected him

late bramble
#

it didnt need correcting ur just udmb

#

be attentive

finite dragon
#

Hell o.

#

because saying "i killed an entire cordon" doesnt make sense in the context of the game

late bramble
#

it does though

finite dragon
#

it doesnt though

late bramble
#

80 IQ

finite dragon
#

ok

late bramble
#

be more attentive

finite dragon
#

That is just insulting @late bramble .

#

yknow your innate need to correct people on shit is really annoying

late bramble
#

you do the same thing though

#

dont be a hypocrite

#

everytime i check here youre screeching about people playing vanilla or correcting people

#

its okay i do it too

#

its just annoying when i do it to you

shrewd dagger
#

ex-lover drama

finite dragon
#

Sex-lover drama

late bramble
#

im sexually frustrated

#

ill fight you all

pseudo rivet
#

Well now

#

What happened here?

lyric forge
#

To avoid all conflict, @finite dragon should’ve just killed off everyone in cordon and surroundings so that he’d be right with both points and this wouldn’t have started.

#

Just kill everyone, problem solved.

finite dragon
#

Well, I killed the men from under the bridge

#

got good loot

lyric forge
#

Yeah military is good ig, I wanted to like their AN-94 but it’s not good tbh. An upgrade to the ALM atleast

finite dragon
#

shall i go to the machine gun checkpoint?

#

And try to kill em all?

lyric forge
#

Are you in SoC?

finite dragon
#

yep

lyric forge
#

I wouldn’t go to the checkpoint unless you have an accurate enough scoped rifle with AP rounds, they have a minefield and there is about 12-14+ MP’s there.

finite dragon
#

oh

#

Than i'll mind my job

lyric forge
#

Best way to spot a line is a piece of rebar sticking out of the ground, don’t step on it.

#

To spot a mine*

#

There’s nothing there really unless you want more 5.45 ammo and some grenades or so, other than that you’re wasting med kits

finite dragon
#

oh

#

ok then

pseudo rivet
#

It's mostly a challenge

lyric forge
#

No

#

A true challenge is running from the MG

pseudo rivet
#

Well, you can walk away with a very decent amount of ammunition

#

Besides, they respawn, making the Military Checkpoint a great arena with endless waves of Soldiers

lyric forge
#

You can, but 5.45 is so common, if you’re conservative with your ammo and go for headshots and hit successfully, ammo won’t be a problem for that gun, replacing it for a better condition will be a bigger problem, and that isn’t much.

pseudo rivet
#

At least in CS

#

Haven't tried this in SoC

lyric forge
#

There is a mission to grab the case from their base in SoC, you haven’t done it?

pseudo rivet
#

I haven't checked if they respawned

lyric forge
#

Ah, gotcha...
They do though

pseudo rivet
#

In SoC?

#

How fast?

finite dragon
#

What

#

they respawn?!

#

I passed that mission...

#

prwtty hard...

#

had to run like Sanic...

pseudo rivet
#

In CS, as soon as you kill all grunts and spetsnaz operatives, they'll respawn within a matter of seconds

finite dragon
#

oof

lyric forge
#

It sure how fast, I leave levels and don’t come back for ages unless it’s Rostock where I visit on the regular.

#

I’m not sure*

#

Rostok*

#

Probs like a day or 2

#

Ingame of coarse

#

Probs if every level has the same respawn rate for enemies, I know visiting the brain scorcher, that road has 3-5 monolith, after killing them and shutting down the scorcher, I ran through that place a lot and they didn’t respawn for a while.

covert wharf
#

i always known doom slayer was in duty

lyric forge
#

So I joined the loners, am I suppose to just do enough raids on the bandits to conquer them, or is it just endless quest to attack bandits?

pseudo rivet
#

Enough raids to conquer them

#

Of course, they will respawn if you wait long enough

finite dragon
#

@covert wharf damn you're right

#

I've always been a Duty

#

long live Duty!

#

screw mutants and freedom!

pseudo rivet
torpid blade
#

ых

lyric forge
#

Never knew at garbage, those big doors to the warehouses that bandits controlled actually closed. An emission was going on and they closed them on me.

#

But open fields and no scopes weapons is giving me a struggle taking on all those bandits.

finite dragon
#

@finite dragon Freedom is the best. Screw Duty and their policing of the Zone!

#

autistic Duty screech

drowsy vale
#

I like the duty, you do more shooty

finite dragon
#

agreed

finite dragon
#

@finite dragon So stalker, had you found anything interesting in Army Warehouse? I hope these are very good one.

finite dragon
#

nothing really, I didnt even raid it

#

They got really good stuff, you'll see

#

okay then

#

So I'm contemplating myself between Sniper VLA and Vintar. What is your take on these?

pseudo rivet
#

Sniper VLA, I'd say

finite dragon
#

Me neither

#

Sniper VLA

#

I see, thanks stalkers.

noble ridge
#

hey what's that mod that everyone plays that's like open world

#

iirc it lets you pick a faction and just mess around

pseudo rivet
#

I'm not a Modder myself, but I think it's both Call of Chernobyl and Anomaly

robust forge
#

There are couple freeplays

noble ridge
#

call of chernobyl was the one i think thanks

robust forge
#

But the most used ones are CoC and Anomaly

pseudo rivet
#

Most would suggest Anomaly, I believe

#

What's the difference, anyways?

noble ridge
#

ye i was about to ask

robust forge
#

Anomaly is like toned down version of misery mixed with CoC

#

Very toned out

#

But made pretty complicated with the newest version

noble ridge
#

toned downhow?

robust forge
#

You don't die in one hit from a snork who can take a whole 7.62 mag to his face

pseudo rivet
#

Basically like every mod?

noble ridge
#

ah i see

#

thanks!

finite dragon
#

Talking about snorks, I'm now having a PTSD whenever I hear that....growl on master

silk charm
#

@noble ridge both CoC and Anomaly are almost the same, except vanilla Anomaly has even more content than CoC

#

though you can always install mods for both, and also most of the content that is included in Anomaly were taken from a lot of CoC mods anyways

#

the only difference i see between Anomaly and CoC is that anomaly has more uh.. 'realism', you could say

#

since as proamulus said it's just a mix of CoC and Misery, and even at the lowest difficulty it's just a mod for hardcore STALKER players even though there are addons which can heavily tweak the difficulty of Anomaly and intend to make Anomaly like any normal STALKER game, i did that

#

because it's not realism if you are being shot at by someone with a crappy PM from 50 miles away, you're wearing armor in perfect condition and you get your half your health bar lowered down regardless and you have to break your F1 button to heal

shrewd dagger
#

Well technically Amomawy is more than a mix of CoC and Misery: it's Last Day (which is CoC + Misery + MLR 6.2 + other stuff) + Warfare + custom weapon mods and some new mechanics and custom A-Life improvements + new story modes, and on a 64-bit engine

#

but there are a lot of CoC mod packs out there these days

noble ridge
#

Can you just lower the difficulty inside anomaly?

#

Also thanks for the info

finite dragon
#

omfg

#

Have I discovered the holy grail??

#

THE OFFICIAL STALKER SERVER HOLY F

robust forge
#

It's nice to hear that

#

Welcome

finite dragon
#

Welcome to the zone stalker

lyric forge
#

@finite dragon no this is bandit territory, and I believe a tax from you must be paid aka all your RU or you die.

finite dragon
#

Wait since when did the mercs gone corrupted?

#

thank you very much

#

wait what i aint paying for that

#

shoots peashooter 2000

finite dragon
#

Oh so the Sniper VLA is basically an Vintar but with 20 rounds mag

#

woops wrong channel

#

also why is the russian one way more active than the english one

#

sadly enough

#

This game series is pretty much legendary in Russia mate

shrewd dagger
#

because most American/British gamers just play whatever is the newest AAA best seller

covert wharf
#

guys

#

i had my first beer

#

i feel like the sway of a sniper scope

#

are you proud of me uncle yar ARE YOU

raven smelt
#

Finally a group I can talk to about stalker related stuff
Not a single friend of mine knows or wants to know about stalker 😭

shrewd dagger
#

I bet they'd be interested in the S.T.A.L.K. H.E.R. Predator mod

finite dragon
#

My dudes here just spent their time talking about PUBG, Fornite, Lol or something while I sit in a corner with STALKER

raven smelt
#

Same!
I just discovered anomaly last week
I’ve been hooked on it ever since
Haven’t touched any other game

#

Been playing CoC for the longest but I’ve done damn near everything in it then when anomaly was suggested I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced fucking bread

shrewd dagger
#

well it's still technically CoC

#

and then it incorporates Misery which just harms it lol

#

best thing since sliced bread is NLC 7

raven smelt
#

Haha yeah 😅 kinda took me a while to grasp the damn difficulty and the change in mechanics but so far I’m loving it

covert wharf
#

my first beer was great

#

now i will never drink again

raven smelt
#

NLC 7? I need to get on that now

covert wharf
#

it makes me feel weird

shrewd dagger
#

I had my first beer in 7th grade

#

Hey any chance the mod “Ray of hope” is translated or nah?

#

If this is the wrong channel to ask about that I apologize in advance

shrewd dagger
#

Ray of Hope is probably never coming out

#

microtransaction MP mod, might as well play Tarkov

hushed ledge
#

...

#

Haven't you seen last RoH gameplay?

robust forge
#

Have you seen its development process?

hushed ledge
#

They said that everything is okay

robust forge
#

Pff

hushed ledge
#

and they are doing it by plan

#

annnndddd

robust forge
#

And they're bringing in microtransactions

hushed ledge
#

when did first developer diary come?

#

2016?

#

no 2017

#

and all the time till 2018 they were telling that it they will make new soon

robust forge
#

Still, I look forward to that second coop mod

#

Because even if roh releases, it's gonna be pretty meh

#

And it will have microtransactions

#

Which raises a lot of red flags

pseudo rivet
#

I believe RoH has deviated too far from Stalker

robust forge
#

It did

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

wait

#

is there a co-op mode in SoC?

pseudo rivet
#

Nope

finite dragon
#

ah

#

dang

#

It would be fun

robust forge
#

It will be

#

If that second coop mod releases

pseudo rivet
#

There's a Mod coming

robust forge
#

I don't mean roh

#

I mean that other with x in name (I think)

pseudo rivet
#

RoH is a standalone

finite dragon
#

guys, what's that call of chernobyl mod that completely changes how armours/outfits look? (not the more outfits mod).

blissful cliff
#

1 question: do you use clear Call of Chernobyl or assembled with other mods?

finite dragon
#

assembled with other mods

finite dragon
#

can't wait for that

#

to play with my friends

#

and kill mutants alongside my friends

pseudo rivet
#

You really hate mutants, don't you?

finite dragon
#

Yeah

#

Not just in rp, but in the game irself

#

I hate then

#

they killed me so many times

#

Its payback time

pseudo rivet
#

I usually just think of it like this

#

All these years after the first explosion, the Zone has been claimed by nature

#

In a way, we're trespassing into a location taken back by nature

#

Then all of a sudden, ilegal stalkers appear, being a threat to them

finite dragon
#

still anomalies

pseudo rivet
#

If somebody would trespass into your home, wouldn't you be offended?

#

Anomalies can be dodged easily

#

Besides, they can't just disappear in a poof

#

They will always be there

finite dragon
#

Not if we eliminate them

pseudo rivet
#

I wonder what you're planning to destroy the anomalies

finite dragon
#

I don't have a plin right now, I'll set up one later

#

but... until then... Bullets are the only plan

pseudo rivet
#

Alright

#

Guess it's shooting anomalies 'till then

finite dragon
#

yep

#

you guessed right

pseudo rivet
#

Good luck, soldier

finite dragon
#

Thank you comrade

#

strange to hear that from a freedomer...

pseudo rivet
#

Every Faction has it's flaws

#

So it's just best to choose for what you believe in, despite it's flaws

finite dragon
#

agreed

pseudo rivet
#

Wether the Zone is a threat or a wonder is for a person to decide

#

For the person shapes his experience in the Zone

finite dragon
#

well, for me its both

#

Its complicated...

pseudo rivet
#

Indeed it is

#

Marius

finite dragon
#

Aside the wonders of the Zone and the Threaths of the Zone, they are all created by humanity after all

pseudo rivet
#

Give it a try to understand the Zone and it's laws

finite dragon
#

Inderectly

pseudo rivet
#

It's interesting to see how the Zone works and how it thinks

finite dragon
#

well... I think that I'll give it a try...

pseudo rivet
#

Nice

#

See what actions have consequences

#

What happens when I do this or that?

finite dragon
#

Yes... I see....

pseudo rivet
#

I know it might sound like some "Freedom" yadda yadda, but it's just how I experienced the game

#

😁

finite dragon
#

heh

finite dragon
#

Nowadays I think Duty will take over Freedom in both strength, arms and manpower

#

Actually I'm neutral on the matter

#

(deleted cause more offensive than subjective)

#

Duty is actually willing to destroy the Zone, we see it everytime in it's annoying announcements at Rostok and in the official Wikia

#

Whilst Freedom is pretty chill and somewhat supports the existence of the Zone mostly by doing nothing except mass-murdering random Duty soldiers they find "too close to their base"

#

dang English people don't have much prevalence in the stalker community.. have they?

#

agreed

#

i am not good at english too

#

But I can still be undestandable

#

you speak perfect english

#

and im a native who still can't speak English

lyric forge
#

I prefer stalkers to speak in Russian than English, that way it won’t feel bad when a merc calls me a retard.

finite dragon
#

is translated Russian okay?

lyric forge
#

Russian speaking and English dialogue are fine for me

finite dragon
#

same for me lmao

pseudo rivet
#

From what we know, Freedom has researchers who work behind the scene who are interested in the Zone and how it works, trying to co-exist with it and look for a way to advance mankind.

lyric forge
#

That combo is perfect

finite dragon
#

but reverse

#

ooooooooooh

lyric forge
#

Tbh, I’d hate if duty tried to eradicate and erase the zone, it’s unique with a lot of danger, but also a lot to learn from it.

finite dragon
#

yeah

pseudo rivet
#

I doubt they can destroy the Zone

finite dragon
#

but Duty reminds me of those paramilitary groups imo

#

ikr

#

what does some peashooters and decently equipped men have to do with destroying the Zone lmao

#

also how would they destroy the zone?

#

I got a better question

#

Well

#

thru bullets and fire

silver arrow
#

retard anuuu

#

who called you as retard

#

you're merc

finite dragon
#

lol

#

well

silver arrow
#

@lyric forge send me a pic how someone called you that word

finite dragon
#

mercs call you retard?

silver arrow
#

And I'll kill.. sorry, ban him

are mercs generally hated?

silver arrow
pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

yes

#

lol

#

Every faction hates them

#

now i feel bad for whoever chose the mercs

#

Every
darn
one

#

including renegades?

#

i think so

#

oh wait they hate everyone else just like the monolith

#

ding ding ding ding! correct!

#

yey i won a free copy of stalker anomaly

#

lol

#

Yes

#

And renegades are allied with the Bandits?

pseudo rivet
#

Nah

finite dragon
#

foop

pseudo rivet
#

Renegades are basically Stalkers who even Bandits didn't tolerate

finite dragon
#

Aren't they like former Military members

#

I ant to send a pic here

#

about all the factions

#

Its a meme

#

I think i saw it before lol

#

like the neutral good and evil ones

pseudo rivet
#
Rumors speak of a small order of outcasts, hailing from all sorts of factions and groups of the Zone. Seen how not even Bandit gangs want to stick around these stalkers, its reasonable to assume that Renegades consist out of the worst and meanest scumbags of the Zone. Sick of the rites of all of the factions, they seek to have payback for exiling them from the faction they previously belonged to, whilst also trying to prey on any unlucky lone stalker who crosses their path.
finite dragon
#

damn

#

they're the bad bois of the zone

#

even worse than the bandits supposdely

pseudo rivet
#

I made this, though

#

With the information available

finite dragon
#

very, very accurate

pseudo rivet
#

Had to do it for the RP

finite dragon
#

gotta hands a thumbs up to that

#

👍

#

I gots another question

pseudo rivet
#

What's your question, Stalker?

finite dragon
#

Are Monolith crazy?

#

Might be a very controversial one, what is the reason for the existence of the Mercenaries

#

I can't wrap my head around that

pseudo rivet
#

To gather the Documents of the secrets of the Zone

#

And also to do the work of other Stalkers in the Zone

#

Not every Merc is the same

finite dragon
#

oooooooooooooooooooooooh.

#

I got the second part previously

#

Well

#

didn't know about the first part

pseudo rivet
#

Pretty much

#

Quite Edgy

finite dragon
#

ik

#

Yeah I assume they just shoot at anyone coming their way

#

even when they're unarmed

#

yep

#

no mercy

#

no russian Stalker

#

lol

#

I would rather be a freedomer than a merc tbh

#

I am not rude

#

I am a good man

#

Merc is more scummy than the Renegades or Banditos

#

Yep

#

thats true

#

Yes, you do not just kill even the most random novice who is unarmed

#

you just don't

pseudo rivet
#

It depends on every Merc, really

finite dragon
#

Yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Not every Merc is the same

autumn shale
#

I really like Duty as a faction tbh
Mercs are hard to deal with as you never know who you are dealing with

finite dragon
#

yeah not always the same

#

people have personalities

#

some are just bloodlust

#

whilst some are just merciful

pseudo rivet
#

Mostly Wolfhound is KoS with everyone

finite dragon
#

lmao

#

omg the Wikia says the same thing lmao

autumn shale
#

Some mercs might be friendly but some, especially the bandit employed ones, are bloodthirsty

finite dragon
#

see an ecologist?

#

pew pew

#

loot it

#

maybe throw it into a campfire

#

Well, in SoC when I was at the bar I got mission to find a poor guys gun, and then I encountered some merceneries, it was an easy fight, until the heli crashed and had to help the ecologist

#

It was a hard fight

#

very hard

#

dang

autumn shale
#

ah yes, I remember Kruglov

#

It was a fun mission imo

finite dragon
#

I still don't have the rest of the STALKER games

#

like shadow of chernobyl and clear sky

#

I only have COP

pseudo rivet
#

Darn

#

That sucks

finite dragon
#

yeah

#

I have only SoC

#

I want to buy CS AND CoP soon

#

All stalker games are great

#

Agreed

autumn shale
#

I have all 3 of them so far and I have also read roadside picnic recently and am planning on watching the 1970s film adaptation

finite dragon
#

even Clear Sky

#

come on

#

most memes come from there

#

But CS was the most.... medeocre

#

true

#

Mediocre*

autumn shale
#

true

finite dragon
#

doesn't add much to the timeline

#

yeah

#

adds a cool new faction tho

#

clear sky

#

the love child of ecologist and loners

#

true

autumn shale
#

At least it explains how Strelok ended up in the death truck

finite dragon
#

yeah

pseudo rivet
#

CS does have some interesting information about the Zone itself

finite dragon
#

OH PKEASE DONT TELL ME SPOILERS,I AM STILL PLAYING SOC

autumn shale
#

and about Sidorovich

finite dragon
#

and the existance of a map as massive as Zaton

#

yet barren

#

I DONT WANT SPOILERS

#

PLEASE

#

aka the great swamps

#

NO SPOILERS

#

I STILL DON'T HAVE CS

#

HEG

#

heh*

pseudo rivet
#

||This is a Spoiler Tag.||

finite dragon
#

shall i dare click the black box

#

foop

pseudo rivet
#

Do it.

finite dragon
#

lmao i did

autumn shale
#

||Deadly Anomalies, Dangerous Mutants, Anarchists and Bandits will help Duty stop the expanding zone||

finite dragon
#

was expecting the worse of all fates

#

again lol

#

Imagine a world without Mercs

#

what would that look to you guys

pseudo rivet
#

Meh, pretty much the same

finite dragon
#

true

#

endless killings, lootings, forestings

#

hmmm

#

What is your opinion on Ecologists

#

(sorry if I have so many questions, I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge)

autumn shale
#

They are a cool faction imo

finite dragon
#

(and mostly because, I FOUND THE HOLY GRAIL)

#

Ecos are cool

pseudo rivet
#

Ecologists simply wish to understand the phenomenon that is the Zone, to theorize about it and create medicine thanks to it

autumn shale
#

They have done lots of good things for the rest of the stalkers and also managed to get tons of information about zone itself

pseudo rivet
#

Freedom is actually the only faction that cares when they make a very special medicine

finite dragon
#

Duty and Freedom love Ecologists

#

that's why I think

#

I assume they both contribute to the work of the Ecologists

pseudo rivet
#

Duty doesn't respond on it

finite dragon
#

oh

autumn shale
#

You mean a medicine or a "medicine" ?

pseudo rivet
#

Definitely medicine

finite dragon
#

Hercules all the way

#

woops

#

lol

pseudo rivet
#

Spoiler incoming, boys

finite dragon
#

that probs existed way before the ecologists

pseudo rivet
#

||It's a cure that is able to cure cancer. From what I know, Freedom is the only Faction that cares about this medicine. I've tried all other Factions numerous times, without results. The medicine is not in the game, but its ingredient is.||

finite dragon
#

nope nope yes yes yes cause cop

#

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

pseudo rivet
#

It's a CoP Spoiler

finite dragon
#

FREEDOM NUMER UNO

#

Freedom cares a lot

#

hence freedom

autumn shale
#

||The secret ingredient is crime||

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

||the secret ingredient is anomalous bread||

autumn shale
#

I really wonder who is baking the bread

finite dragon
#

maybe some stalker left it in an anomaly field

pseudo rivet
#

Someone from the Big Land, I reckon

finite dragon
#

he was like

#

ah screw it

#

I aint gonna risk my life for some tasty bread

#

well

#

Duty loves Eco's

#

so we have a big approve

#

I've heard Duty does contribute to the Ecologists

pseudo rivet
#

Everyone loves them, really

finite dragon
#

Yep

#

yeah

#

ecologists are the friendly people

robust forge
#

Pretty much

finite dragon
#

the rare bunch

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

We are

autumn shale
#

Ecologists are like the Keanu Reeves faction of the zone

finite dragon
#

Sorry again for the word

#

Ecologists are like those really caring and close friends

pseudo rivet
#

Except Stalkers, who think they're a bit weird, thanks to their lack of knowledge about the Zone and it's dangers

finite dragon
#

Mercs boss everyone around

#

at this point that is the vibe of the Mercs

#

yeah

#

oh look at me I got this nice armor and this nice peashooter

#

turns around hey i can get paid

#

Well

#

and boss around even people from the same rank but in different factions

#

But in game,can we pay a Merc to do our job?

#

i wish

#

It would be cool

pseudo rivet
#

No

finite dragon
#

but if you got close to them

#

goodbye son

#

pew pew pew

#

Yeah

pseudo rivet
#

You can play as a Merc, though

finite dragon
#

yeah

#

Oh

#

Which game?

#

call of chernobyl, is mod

#

anomaly and many others

pseudo rivet
#

Prologue Stalker: Clear Sky

finite dragon
#

well

#

I'll buy it and downlpad the mod to play as Duty

pseudo rivet
#

They're Mods

#

You can't buy them

finite dragon
#

lol buy anomaly and call of chernobyl

pseudo rivet
#

Stalker Clear Sky is the game that has you play as a Mercenary

finite dragon
#

what

autumn shale
#

yeh

pseudo rivet
#

Yep

autumn shale
#

a merc named Scar

finite dragon
#

oh i didn't know that

#

sed

#

neato

#

sud

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
autumn shale
#

||Employed by the Ecologists but ends up assisting Clear Sky during the course of the game||

finite dragon
#

wait, but clear sky and eco are allies,right?

pseudo rivet
#

Nope

finite dragon
#

Oh

#

well thats unfortunate

#

they would be unstoppable

pseudo rivet
#

Clear Sky is neutral to everyone, because nobody knows Clear Sky exists

finite dragon
#

really?

#

damn

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

#

More covert than Mercs

finite dragon
#

well

#

interesting to be sure

autumn shale
#

They even force you to put on a blindfold when exiting or entering their base iirc

#

and do not let you in or out without a guide

finite dragon
#

woah

#

they are very secretive

#

As I can see

pseudo rivet
#

I've got a Relationship Chart, if anyone matters

finite dragon
#

Huh?

pseudo rivet
#

Although, not every Neutral means the same

finite dragon
#

Whats that?

pseudo rivet
#

A chart that displays all relationships between Factions

finite dragon
#

oh

#

send it

pseudo rivet
#

It is made for the RP, however

finite dragon
#

I want to see

#

Then, send it please

#

send me it too

#

sorry i was discussing with my brother

pseudo rivet
#

Done

#

Sorry for the low quality, btw

finite dragon
#

no no it's perfect man

pseudo rivet
#

I can make the list for this server, but its kinda hard to do on mobile 😅

finite dragon
#

bro i cannot even do that cause i have very less free time

#

it is beautiful in my eyes

#

imo

pseudo rivet
#

Same, really

finite dragon
#

👍 👍

#

when I found this server I honestly thought Russians and English people will be cursing at me or telling me to get lost

#

now i realized

#

these people are hecking kind

#

Ikr

#

and are determined to make this game continue

#

I feel very good among people from here!

#

they are wholsome as heck

#

waste their time by educating people about it

#

and answering all questions

#

yeah

#

they helped me

#

i respect that

#

and at the same time having fun

#

Yeah

#

imma get along quite well here

#

ans thats why this be the main server I will hang on

#

yep same

#

heh

#

#

#

but I am ukrainian

#

im indian and pakistani

#

just a little

#

lmao

#

I am mostly Romanian

#

80%

#

neato Romanians are quite helpful and warming imo

#

well everything east of germany is quite nice towards us

#

but coming back to community

#

I would consider this an actual community, 10/10 quality

#

People engaged in memes, talking and conversating about many topics but still being united under just 3 games

autumn shale
#

I am Slovak

pseudo rivet
#

Heh, it's usually a little bit rougher around here

autumn shale
#

lol

finite dragon
#

from when I entered yesterday I knew yall are nice

#

this is one of those diamonds of a community

pseudo rivet
#

But yeah, slavs are really kind people

finite dragon
#

sure it's rough

#

but it's clear and beautiful

#

agreed

#

everyone in asia or at least east of germany and italy are nice towards each other

#

all friendly imo

#

I love this server

#

I love it too man

#

No edgy people, no idiots

#

just nice people

#

and kind

#

and wholsome

#

also ironically slavs (those of the Soviet Union) helped us out when US was about to invade mainland India and Bangladesh but that's a story for another time

#

heh

#

Wow

silver arrow
#

don't swear

finite dragon
#

woops sorry

silver arrow
#

And don't talk about politics

finite dragon
#

won't do it again and I will end it there

#

lol

#

But I like this community

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

probs very forgiving

#

yeah

#

now i love this community and I love this server

#

me neither

#

probs will be very active here

#

Me too

#

But school doesnt really let me to do that

#

LONG LIVE S.T.A.L.K.E.R

#

I am in high school

#

autumn shale
#

same

pseudo rivet
#

I wish you good luck with being active here

finite dragon
#

Thank yoy

#

you*

#

sorry my fingers are fat

pseudo rivet
#

The EN sections are really quiet from time to time

finite dragon
#

thank you very much

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

true

#

but at least I can translate Russian lol

pseudo rivet
#

Heh

finite dragon
#

heh

#

back to stalker times

#

Now I got an even more controversial and debatable question, would STALKER not exist if the Chernobyl Disaster did not happen?

pseudo rivet
#

Hmm

#

Interesting question

autumn shale
#

you mean the games?

finite dragon
#

yes

#

the game series

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

Well, for sure they are interesting and fun

#

or would it become based on a different disaster?

#

and ingineus

pseudo rivet
#

We'll never know

#

I doubt it, though

finite dragon
#

unless we live in an alternative universe

#

same

#

but yes

#

Me neither

#

who agrees that Mercs are scummies and deserve to disappear and never come back?

#

so... we can say... all hail the disaster for creating the world known as the Zone?

#

yes

pseudo rivet
#

Heh

finite dragon
#

made a massive community

#

yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Funny to hear that from a Dutyer

finite dragon
#

dedicated to re-invigorating just 3 old games

#

lol

#

@pseudo rivet well, its really fun in the zone

#

3 old games, one huge community, and a massive library of memes

#

esspeccialy when you fight mutants

#

gamer's heaven

#

agrred

#

also there's so many funny glitches in the game

#

like the one with duties inside each other

pseudo rivet
#

Russian memes are a mystery on its own

finite dragon
#

a) i can't understand it without a translator

pseudo rivet
#

B) They're really random

autumn shale
#

I can understand the russian memes but I don't find them funny at all

#

I just find them random and cringe

finite dragon
#

c) can literally just be a picture of sidorovich eating a chicken leg

pseudo rivet
#

Usually

#

And yup

finite dragon
#

ooh speaking of sidorovich

#

true/false: is sidorovich a scammer?

pseudo rivet
#

True

finite dragon
#

ding ding ding

#

you won a chicken leg

#

Ah sorry,I have to rake care of my nephew

pseudo rivet
#

Nice

finite dragon
#

and I have low battery

#

is fine

pseudo rivet
#

Good luck

finite dragon
#

5%

autumn shale
#

Barkeep > Sidorovich

Change my mind

finite dragon
#

Good luck S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

pseudo rivet
#

I won't

finite dragon
#

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

#

In Anomaly

#

Barkeep is literally just a barkeep

#

not a weapons seller

#

lmao

pseudo rivet
#

It's a mod

finite dragon
#

true but yes barkeep all the way

#

aint gonna change it

pseudo rivet
#

Besides, personality wise he's better

finite dragon
#

you mean lot better

pseudo rivet
#

...To a certain extent

finite dragon
#

oof

autumn shale
#

I am kinda glad in game barkeep is not like the book barkeep

finite dragon
#

you can get food at least

#

mmmm

#

that good old snork foot

#

lol

autumn shale
#

because when reading roadside picnic, I noticed there was a character very similar to barkeep

finite dragon
#

I still haven't read roadside picnic

autumn shale
#

Ernest, owner of the Borscht bar. He was kinda shady compared to in game barkeep though

lyric forge
#

@silver arrow in CoP at that station in Zaton, if you shoot a merc when on the mission to collect the laptop, he will say 2 things:
1-“Hey kill the retard!”
2-“Some retard shot, KILL HIM!”

#

I wouldn’t make this up

finite dragon
#

in english voice?

silver arrow
pseudo rivet
#

There's a PDF of Roadside Picnic, right here on this server

finite dragon
#

GIMMEH

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

I WILL READ 24/7

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

i mean its not that good

lyric forge
#

@finite dragon yes how else would I know

autumn shale
#

It is 124 pages iirc

finite dragon
#

epic

#

its about some gay ass aliens who take a shit on earth and the shit is smeared across the world or something

#

I love how Sidorovich has an Asus laptop

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, he says "Okay, drop that retard"

finite dragon
#

He should have got a dell laptop

#

Nah

#

maybe play stalker on it

#

yeag

lyric forge
#

@silver arrow go replay the game and see for yourself

finite dragon
#

OH RIGHT

#

I have an idea

autumn shale
#

Technically, the aliens landed on earth, creating the zones and flew away. Stalkers went to the zones to scavenge for artifacts

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

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

silver arrow
#

@lyric forge didn't play eng-version, will check

#

Thx

finite dragon
#

im a bit lazy, can anyone summarize the whole story of Roadside Picnic

pseudo rivet
#

It's CoP, btw

autumn shale
#

Interesting thing is... a lot of book's anomalies and artifacts are in the game

finite dragon
#

but still I will read it

#

nonetheless

lyric forge
#

@silver arrow Ah... my apologies than. Russian?

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

im not those kind of people where once they know the gist of something they trash it or never touch it again

silver arrow
#

Yep

#

I'm from Belarus

autumn shale
#

for example Spring is the in game equivalent of Full Empty, Grandma's Jelly anomaly is similar to the game's Fruit Punch etc.

silver arrow
#

But it'll be interesting to play with eng lang

lyric forge
#

Gotcha...

silver arrow
#

And sounds

robust forge
#

Wait, you're Belarusian?

silver arrow
#

Yes

pseudo rivet
#

He is

robust forge
#

Oh god

finite dragon
#

I love the shadows of SoC

robust forge
#

I need to barricade myself

finite dragon
#

Esppecialy when you run

pseudo rivet
lyric forge
#

Yeah I know CS has unfiltered language and says worst, retard was by far the worst insult tho, it hit me.

silver arrow
autumn shale
#

I sort of prefer playing games like STALKER or Metro with english subtitles and as much russian/ukrainian audio as possible

pseudo rivet
#

Nah

finite dragon
#

me neither

pseudo rivet
#

CS went as far as saying Nazi to random enemies

finite dragon
#

I like playing it in that way honestly

#

Yeah

#

CS is a bit too much from dialogue i suppose?

#

Ikr

autumn shale
#

I kind of hated how CS had more dialogue translated to english

#

while SoC had only the bare essentials translated

pseudo rivet
#

I find it interesting to know what they're saying

finite dragon
#

yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Although it might be cringy from time to time

lyric forge
#

I play stalker with the preference of English dialogue and Russian voice, same as how I USE TO watch shippudden with Japanese audio and English subtitles, it makes it better for me.

finite dragon
#

ikr same

pseudo rivet
#

That's the default setting of Stalker

finite dragon
#

yeah

random loom
#

Nah. I enjoy playing with russian voice and native lector and dialogue

finite dragon
#

RIP russian voicw actor of Sidorovich

#

oh right he died

#

i cri

#

Sad

lyric forge
#

I don’t like broken English and I don’t want to hear a voice that doesn’t sound like the people from the show.

finite dragon
#

sidorovich's voice is lost to the zone

lyric forge
#

Or game

pseudo rivet
#

I know

finite dragon
#

ye

pseudo rivet
#

It's just interesting to hear what they're saying
