To destroy the Zone
pseudo rivet
Perhaps, but the Military doesn't
finite dragon
And the Military aren't cowards, they just suffer from corruption and bad conditions
Its so bad for them
Just look at Khaletsky
pseudo rivet
I could answer that, but then I'd have to spoil it
static dagger
so ur saying that since a certain percent of the military isn't corrupt, their actions are justified?
pseudo rivet
CS - General Krylov
finite dragon
Its when the zone appeared for the first time so thats a natural reaction
The operation failed and Military decided to close the area
The Military takes careful decision unlike a group of deserters like Duty
Dutiers want to destroy the zone just because of that shock
Duty overall is bad lmao
finite dragon
Another failure 😂
pseudo rivet
Both Duty and the Military don't realize that the Zone retaliates against hostility
We've seen what happens in CS
finite dragon
But unlike Duty, not every Military soldier is tasked to destroy it
Khaletsky even warns you to stay away from the center
And the Military doesn't do it joyfully
Dutiers however are all convinced of what they're doing
pseudo rivet
Duty does see themselves as the Vampire Hunters which will save the universe
pseudo rivet
To a certain extent
finite dragon
😤
pseudo rivet
The Government doesn't want to waste money on it
Plus, there's even a corrupt General in the Arena
Some like to profit from it
Others just don't care
But some see the Zone as a threat and want it studied, locked down and the key thrown away and destroyed
It's not as locked down as you think
static dagger
which is why monolith is th best faction, you don't have to worry about any of these things, you just shoot heathens and pray to o monolith
👋 
pseudo rivet
How else would weapons and armor find it's way into the Zone
Plus food and ammo
Yes, or else
static dagger
why not bot
both
the main reason supplies and ammo get into the zone is military
military makes deals with traders/stalkers
they profit off of each other under he surface

finite dragon
Thats why you cohexist
You live and let live
Duty would've been good if it focused just on mutant hunt rather than destroying the zone
static dagger
still a matter of time before some stupid official decides that the zones must be destroyed imo
pseudo rivet
Duty would've been good if it focused just on mutant hunt rather than destroying the zone
But that's how Duty's interpretation of "Destroying the Zone" works. By killing Mutants, they make the world a safer place. A dead mutant means more study material. More study material means a chance to find the Zone's weakness
pseudo rivet
Yes, but the Zone still exists
Who says that C-Con ever "controlled" the Zone?
Yes
static dagger
the great emission resulting in scar not being - > marked one waking up after tge great emission - > c con destroyed - > operation fairway failing - > strelok recruited by the military
is how everything goes, right?
finite dragon
The Zone is self-conscient in fact
pseudo rivet
Roughly, yes
Although, there have been mentions of Stalkers entering the Zone around 1990
static dagger
the zone is a man made location, so most likely c con or whoever was in control of it all, wanted to do some big experiment which resulted in the zone appearing and or expanding to what it is today
finite dragon
The C-Con tells Strelok they are trying to contain it as much as they can and keep stalkers away from the center
static dagger
dun dun dun
finite dragon
It did
pseudo rivet
Yep
pseudo rivet
Indeed
finite dragon
Emissions are both ejaculations of extra-power and a protocol to kill people
pseudo rivet
The closer one comes to the Zone, the more frequent the Emissions occur
pseudo rivet
The more Emissions, the more instable the Zone becomes, which means that it can even cause the Third Disaster
static dagger
man why does stalker have to have such interesting lore

finite dragon
They existed both in SoC and CoP before & after ccon is gone
pseudo rivet
CNPP = empty halls for a bunch of scientists who are now dead. With the scientists gone, what becomes the focus of protection?
That, nobody knows
We just know that the Zone is trying to protect the Center of the Zone
static dagger
couldn't the scientists have been absorbed by the zone/something else right before they died? becoming either one with the zone or a new existence like the zone?
BOOM PLOT FOR STALKER 2
finite dragon
Or again, zone being self conscient
The Zone doesn't need protection
Monolith & radar just existed for the C-con
Not the zone itself lmao
static dagger
well there were alot of stalkers who made it to cnpp though, when scar chased after strelok
(I'm not mixing up locations right)
that's what caused the great emission
static dagger
strelok be like: aight imma head out
pseudo rivet
Because he's trying to protect the Zone
finite dragon
The Zone maybe preserved him to kill Strelok
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
I wonder how early Guide entered the Zone
finite dragon
In 2004
pseudo rivet
Since Sidorovich entered the Zone in the 90's
finite dragon
He is the first stalker ever
static dagger
what I like and hate about soc is that if you just rush through the game doing mission after mission, you won't get the true ending
you have to go back in certain locations and explore dead locations to find npcs
like the guide for example
to get the true ending
static dagger
the devs could've made it easier to access certain lore as well, but I can't blame them very much for that
development hell is hell after all
which is why I'm happy they're making another stalker game
hopefully they learned from what went wrong and this time they can do things better
honestly, since I'm a very young guy myself, if it wasn't for my father who introduced me to stalker by playing it all the time, I wouldn't even be here, and would probably think of it as another low effort russian game with crap gameplay
which I know it isnt
for the most part
I'm honestly very excited for the day I get a good pc
I have never played a single stalker game with above minimal graphics
heh
ouch
quite an expensive lesson to learn
can you though?
run most stuff without lag I mean
you said you felt the pain before
but now I'm dying inside
can't run stalker without 480p windowed Hah
such is the fate of office laptops
and even that is now ruined
I have no pc to play anything at all now so I'm stuck with my phone

I legit wasted like 1600 rounds defending a spot in army warehouses from monoliths as bandits
Even the ecologists are starting to like me
frail spire
And an emision just wiped out the whole map and monolithians had it for free
clever verge
Which game?
frail spire
Stasons CoC
It has warfare so that means constant territory change
May have killed one too many allies with grenades so stalker went to -8000 that I'm still trying to recover
Not gonna lie, warehouses look like normandy right now
frail spire
Can't even stop to scavenge for ammo nor guns due to squads constantly spawning
Oh crap theres no more bandits in warehouses LOL
feral verge
My last time playing Stason's, I played Mercs and we had to ally with Monolith to fight off the bandits
Killed around 200 of them, without exaggerating
Spent like 3 ingame days just sitting at Wild Territory gunning people down
frail spire
I'm in the same spot but with warehouses
feral verge
They kept sending wave after wave after wave
frail spire
I'm running out of ammo and guns are starting to jam
feral verge
Monolith sent like 12 exoskeleton soldiers and they all got shredded as soon as they showed up
frail spire
It's like that saving private ryan scene
At the tower surrounded by rpg-wielding nuts
feral verge
The problem with Stason's is that it runs out of memory due to being 32 bits
frail spire
Does it?
feral verge
And the 64 bit version is ridiculously unstable
frail spire
Well thats true
Not that unstable tbh
Certain specific stuff tend to trigger it
Like the boxes covering the oasis heart puzzle
The moment you move shoot or whatever
Theres a 25% it crashes due to collision
clever verge
and who makes the decisions of with who to join forces?
frail spire
I think you can remove the dynamic standing
But that wouldn't be fun
Also you can switch sides using the medic at the spots with shops
Thats the only thing I managed to understand from just using the option
Because some stuff is translated and other isn't
Like messages basically saying "you need to capture these spots before the big one" in cyrilic
clever verge
That's always an issue, right? Lack of translations.
frail spire
Also I didn't knew that if your reputation reachs terrible you turn into a bandit
clever verge
Now that's a freaking cool feature.
frail spire
Because you see, to capture points you need them cleared
Even if theyre occupied by allies
So at some point you will need to start popping up allies for the points
clever verge
frail spire
Since having one or two captured points that aren't yours mean they could at some point go hostile from killing their allies
clever verge
and how do you improve your reputation once a Bandit?
frail spire
Just by killing hostiles
Because bandits are just monolith with less hostile standing
Also you can't just switch factions talking to leaders
You need to find a medic and it will have an option in rus that allows you to switch
clever verge
So, by killing Mono's you might get along with Loners as a Bandit?
frail spire
Eventually yes
But I still have them like at -4000
And I already legit killed like 500 npcs
clever verge
Wait a medic? what does he performs? a identity change surgery?
frail spire
Dunno, I don't speak vodka
When you switch sides you will still play on the map you've been using up to then
Meaning you can conquer half map, switch and conquer it back
While keeping your stuff
Problem is that missions are a pain regardless of what mod you play
So you'll come across a bunch of "get me X" items
Some quests are just ridiculous like "get me a seva suit" or "get me x10 stacks of AP 5.56x45"
You do get cool rewards like detectors though
A bear detector is like 30000
clever verge
Yep those missions where you have to buy the stuffs...
At least what they could do is, if someone is asking for an specific suit, every model that has that suit should drop it once dead.
frail spire
Well for anomameme it lets you pick the options for bodies to drop suits
Which after a ton of repairing you could realistically get an overpriced gear to use
Like say, the eco ruby suits which are really good but you only get them after having like 1500 standing with ecos
feral verge
Ecos have the "recover the tracking device" mission that is really easy and fairly common
Also the mutant parts which you will naturally obtain as you play
They can pay like 20k for a controller hand quest, which isn't shabby at all
finite dragon
@frail spire which game/mod
frail spire
CoC by stason
finite dragon
I never played that version of COC.
From what I hear its just a COC repack with a bunch of other add-ons,
frail spire
It is
But the warfare system it has is the best
Anomameme crashes from warfare
And cs is well... cs
finite dragon
CS has decent faction war
The loner and bandit war is just broken
But the duty- freedom war is pretty decent
Other than your faction just not sending squads or reinforcements to the area,
frail spire
Well this one constantly sends squads rverywhere
It gets crazy due to having piles of corpses in maps with many factions
Like wharehouses which I'm trying to escape from
finite dragon
I would rather just play COC with a bunch of add-ons.

Anomaly is free play standalone with their own stuff and a story mode that isn't that good and it's there just as filler I guess

solved the emission issues.
maybe it got bugged or something, i go to the building with the electric anomalies and the jeep, keep hearing the sparks but there's no visual effect. Whip out the detector and there it is, a sparkler artifact, playing around.
i left it there, not worth for me, though.

decided to play some SOC, started a new game and kept dying, always out of ammo.. then i looked at settings and guess what, difficulty is set to master
i guess thats time for challenge, i believe i can complete the whole game on this setting

I have a question, I have a potato laptop (Intel Pentium B970 2.30ghz, Intel HD, And 4gb of ram) It can barely run S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat at 60 fps with almost minimum graphics, I already have completed the Campaign, So I wanna Install a mod, Anomay 1.5.0 to be exact, I just wanna know If i would be able to run smoothly. Because I feel the mod will ask for more resources.
@robust forge in COC they will
robust forge
Nice
finite dragon
@finite dragon I have worse specs and I can run anomaly smoothly at 40 FPS.
Oh well then, thank you.
I don't know what you call smooth, but I think like 40-50 FPS for me IMO.
pseudo rivet
Yeah, isn't Anomaly a graphical downgrade?
finite dragon
Nope
Upgrade @pseudo rivet,
Well Idc If i don't reach 60 fps, Im very used to 30-40 fps
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
@finite dragon same here, I never get higher than 45 FPS for stalker.
I usually play object dynamic lighting on medium vanilla stalker, and I get about 35 FPS.
@solid dew in OGSR they suicide if you try to knife them
pseudo rivet
+1 for OGSR for Lore-Friendliness
Although, you can just as well shoot the mad man who's charging at you with a knife

anomaly makes wounded monolith kamikaze if you interact with them
if you see a wounded monolith and have an empty skull, you will go up to them and press e on them, only for them to say "monolit" in a pained voice and blow up in 1-3 seconds

Ecologists don't exist

The issue is that Ecologist aren't a Faction, they're people with a degree, and they reach to other factions in order to work in the zone.
clever verge
instead of being a Role it could be an affiliation patch, you remain on one of the others factions, but have relation with the Eco's.

WOW.
My relation with the Loners has been compromised because of Frigging Strelok!
Pass the border to Red Forest, suddenly i'm chasing him, i decide to keep up with him, suddenly there's an ambush, i have to kill everyone but one surrenders, talk to him, but while i'm at it, there's a call for help, drop the convo and go to the SOS request. All cool we took the Snorks down, i decide to go back to the "hostage", he talks me about a guide near some shore or something, he says he can guide. I follow him to where the ones i helped, turns them against me, i have to again kill them.
Loners aren't friendly with me anymore.
and then, the rain comes down to hide my tears.

Any ideas why Duty is hostile for me after SoC (true) ending? Since I have the Starter Pack 2019 mod installed Im allowed to play after the ending but when I locate Duty soldiers they are all red on my binoculars
Its been like 2 hours since Im trying to solve this, I already deleted many saves because after the ending I walked straight to the Bar and killed many Duty members there but whats interesting that I've tried for my first time the Arena challenge and after two fights my reputation for some reason got neutral with Duty but I freaked out because my whole armor and guns were gone so as a fool I deleted that save (not knowing your items get placed in a box near the Areana if correct)
frank condor
@magic latch maybe something's bugged and game thinks you are in freedom faction?
magic latch
hmm dunno bout that
nvm what I just said I deleted it, so Im checking the ranks in my PDA and there are members from Freedom who are hostile and who arent all tho Duty is hostile everytime
finite dragon
@magic latch there's no point in playing soc after the credits so i wouldnt worry about it
there just isnt any content other than autogen sidequests
any ideas how to get cop workin on i7?
it should work fine
it doesnt
whats the issue
so it has the tiny screen with gamespy
then stopped responding
vanilla install?
what does the crashlog say
vanilla install
works on my surface but
go to the appdata folder in the games files
then go to logs
kk
there should be a file called "xray_(windows user name).log"
magic latch
Is there like a command to make you neutral with Duty or Freedom?
pseudo rivet
In vanilla, they don't capture the Northern Farmstead, only the Southern Farmstead, so that sounds like a mod
finite dragon
Not SRP
Happened to me in pure vanilla
It just depends on how AI will react to your speedrun
Sometimes they control the village's ruins, sometimes they dont
pseudo rivet
True, but since when do they go towards the Northern Farmstead?
finite dragon
Maximum i managed to is making CS permanently control the truck
By making sure the Depot already has 3 squadz
pseudo rivet
clever verge
Yep, for me it happened the same. I insisted on helping them to take down the Rens at the truck, but they would usually come back to the other camp, one day they decided to advance further.
i wish they went to the rails, where the Renegades hide near the train.
pseudo rivet
Weird
BTW, since Sidorovich is the one normally dealing with artifacts, how the hell does he not even stock any low-tier ones (since the higher-tier ones would be sold as soon as they got in anyways)?
They all get sold to people in the Big Land

Hey Amnesia.
Have you joined any Faction in CS while doing main storyline?
How did it played out for you the Red Forest start quest.
When you enter Red Forest you start with a chasing and an ambush.
finite dragon
guys I cant access gamedata in COP
I am editing the fsgame.ltx and it doesnt works
what do you mean "access gamedata"
clever verge
Try in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications
in Clear Sky, i meant.
you had no immediate quest in Red Forest?
Holy poop, that's frigging weird.
After dissabling the psy-emission, i went to Red Forest, and as soon as it loads the map, you're chasing Strelok.
you follow him to near a bridge and there's a Loners Ambush, who i had to take down which affecter my relation with them.
we where friendly.
Duty's Camp at Agroprom?
haven gotten near them yet, i'll let you know wen i do it.
you can check in Screens and videos, i posted some
Yep, there's where i got ambushed.
the escort wha
was a trap.
Well i guess, that escort i posted it was the npc "guiding" me to Forester.
but as soon as he saw another Loners squad, he told them to shoot me down.
I've must messed something up that you didn't.

Amomawy represents a lot of what's wrong with stalker modding
a mod team that pulls in different directions with no end goal in mind, a mod that is comprised of a lot of mods including some very outdated ones being stitched together with no evaluation as to why something should be included or excluded
aka a bunch of crap just tossed together
static dagger
ur just hating on the mods cause youre an elitist
can't handle thee fact that people have fun playing what you don't like
finite dragon
static dagger
just accept it
finite dragon
mental gymnastics
shrewd dagger
"You don't like the mod I like therefore you're elitist"
"It's YOU who can't handle it"
makes sense

you're just mad because he doesnt like amomawy and you do

it's not more polished since it's a buggy beta with very inconsistent art design (textures/foliage), weapons and more
but more features yes
static dagger
not buggy
finite dragon
crashed like 2 times
north fjord
Its not buggy lol
shrewd dagger
yes it is, hence its beta stage, lots of potential crashes on 1.5 beta 3.0
pseudo rivet
Oof
north fjord
Ive never crashed
finite dragon
well, i crashed beacuse i am experimenting with mods so it's not really even the games fault
but mine
north fjord
I had more crashes on the base games than with 16 hours of playtime than with Anomaly with 50 hours
static dagger
wait jester so let me get this straight, you play anomaly alot, even though you dont like it?
I mean how else would you know right
pseudo rivet
Now that's weird
finite dragon
anomaly is more fun than coc
it's more polished
it's less buggy
it's less boring
it has more features
shrewd dagger
You mean it's weird to play something and then evaluate it, opposed to not playing it and just spewing nonsense?
north fjord
Anomaly is more grindy tho
shrewd dagger
gen Z "logic" right there
finite dragon
@north fjord you can modify your own settings to your own likings
if you want to grind
go for survivalist
if you like quick games
go for tourist mode
robust forge
It's still grindy
north fjord
I know that I play on survivalist
robust forge
Especially when you play as more... peaceful factions
shrewd dagger
well it's meant to be grindy but it's easy to circumvent some of its grindiness since you can acquire some high tier equipment very early due to minimalized sense of progression
north fjord
I just think that I shouldnt do 30 fetch quests to get proto armor

this reminds me of those gaming journalists lol, play it for a little while and make their decision when they eventually crash or some sh

@shrewd dagger I mean, that gear is meh because its all damaged
north fjord
which is very expensive to repair
finite dragon
dude just learn how to use the vice
north fjord
and not worth it in most cases
shrewd dagger
probably true for armor but not weapons
north fjord
I have a minimal understanding of the vice to be fair
shrewd dagger
also no, Amomawy is never really rewarding
north fjord
@shrewd dagger That is true
shrewd dagger
the vice is a convoluted terribly designed mechanic
finite dragon
no
shrewd dagger
nothing that bad would ever appear in an actual game since it's too convoluted
finite dragon
it's good
static dagger
its pretty good
shrewd dagger
nobody really wants to go around collecting weapon barrels and what not
static dagger
maybe too complex for you but most people like it
finite dragon
you can save up money and repair weapons yourself, switch out parts
shrewd dagger
most people tend to ignore it or complain about it
since again it's just a grindy dumb design
finite dragon
no
shrewd dagger
amomawy = equipment repair simulator
finite dragon
just buy a multitool and a swiss knife and go around the zone
you will gather alot of stuff very quickly
especially weapon parts
shrewd dagger
junk item scavenger simulator yes
