mods let you in the others though...
Night can be scary too yes
But from what we've heard from rumors in CS, if you fall asleep deep within the Zone, you'll be haunted in your dreams
...To death

And yet, CoP plays deep within the Zone
I saw some gameplay of CoP, like a gas anomaly or something near a apartment building, looked scary lmao
I wanted to buy an Sleeping Bag in Anomaly

Still, the Zone is still in control
So if you sleep somewhere, can you be awakened by enemies?
No no, thats only Anomaly mods
In mods, yes
The one I am playing rn for example has sleeping bags and tents
*In control of itself
Who says that C-Con ever controlled it

Le "Dun dun duuuun" moment
Brain Scorcher
Damn I am spoiling so many people
I'm a bit rusty on the X-Lab lore, so I'm afraid I can't tell
Oh, well in that case
are the dreams in vector of alienation fan made, or were they from gsc in older builds
You will have a fun trip into that madness lab
The wiki says as follows:
||"X16's ultimate purpose was to create an organic brain for study regarding psychic experiments."||

Then theres me getting jumpscared by blind dogs
ну погоди
So what might be in this fabled lab called "X-18"?
x-18 has poltergeists
No I still get scared by normal mutants
and mutants
When they come by suprise
How do you do that?
i hate asking a question and then someone else asks a question at the same time, i feel like i'm ruining something
I mean, yeah I would lmao
for the first time, yes
then after the second, i just went in blasting with my obokan
Yeah I know its funny
this post was made by wuss gang
Maybe its because I first played SoC when I was a child or something and the fear stuck with me
Lol its fine
I only legit get afraid of Pseudogiants
cant stand those
they are like body horror
I dont even wanna get close to them
when i was a kid i thought it was called "soo dog giant"
I've got to research the documents in CoP and the Lore in SoC to get more knowledge about the X-Labs
So, that's something for me to look at in the future
crimson, the only person who reads the description of the lab documents
he a real one
he a player
I read that it was soviet
I read everything too
i have yet to read into the documents
Same
Well, the thing is
its candy for my brain
Mutants like Controllers and Burers were also created by the Group, right?
It turned into an anomaly
Yet, the descriptions say they're created by the Secret Service
So yeah, I think it was something Soviet based
At least, the X-Labs were created around the Soviet times
I still wonder how pseudogiants get created or were created
Remnants of KGB would be a cool idea
or Soviet goverment
I thought the games took place in 2015?
sometimes i write fan stories based on my silly experiences in stalker as if they were told from a random stalker by a campfire when you ask him to tell you something intresting
And, of course, those UN troopers
Fall of the soviet union didnt stop them from researching
they didnt wanna stop
I'm confused, did the Soviet Union not fall?
Oh
it did in 1991
Yeah, they did
december 25th 1991
But the X-Labs were made when Soviet Union still was a thing
Low key it might have been cooler if they didnt collapse in the games
true dat
I dont think the zone would be the same
The game is trying to follow the real world as closely as possible
why would they use rubles and not dollars or euros even
Thus, making the game more relatable and realistic in our eyes
most shady stuff in europe is with dollars and euros
What if Forester is a former member of the KGB?
Might aswell add Grivna too then
It would appeal more to the western audience because ya know, big bad Ruskies and their secret communist plans to take away baseball and apple pie
yeah the hryvnia
I mean there is truly no bad guy in stalker is there?
it is in ukraine, wouldn't they use the country's national currency?
Except maybe CC
and then it depends on what Strelok will do
Forester a KGB member...
KGB is hiding in red forest
now it makes sense lol
I mean the currency is still RU right?
Its rubles yes
Was
No idea how he can sleep peacefully at night next to that creepy forest
Because the Zone tolerates him
ah right
The Zone is a living being, as well
hrynia = official currency of ukraine
stalkers: nah ima use le rublei
So it likes people and dislikes them
I'd say Mother Nature with a consciousness
Check out Duty, which always get stormed by mutants
Bones lying everywhere
How come?
I was under the impression that the Zone is it's own entity, honestly I want to know more about it
Yeah lets just give the mutants ukrainian citizenship
So it has a peaceful but cautious nature?
Amnesia, the Zone gives you the worst nightmare you can dream of, some Stalkers had died of a heart attack during their sleep.
Duty fights mutants > Zone becomes angry > Zone sends mutants > Duty members die along with other Stalkers
Another example would be Hermit
Hermit has found peace with the Zone and learned to co-exist with it
Soldiers ussually wear a protection under their helmets in order to sleep safely.
A protection?
You guys are a lot better at answering questions than other servers tbh
Thank you
Also Oblivion Lost the mod adds dreams to the game.
No problem plague
i see the same dreams in the same mods
I'd guess they use a tinfoil hat under the helmet 
Sorry guys, gotta help Sean for a sec
narodnaya solyanka, oblivion lost, oblivion lost remake, etc
I take that insult as a minor mistake

Atleast we are honest about the zone
Unlike freedom who claims the zone is for everyone and then builds a massive wall
Are the devs stingy with a peak on development of stalker 2?
You havent seen it?
I cant find much about it
Its north of the army barracks
Yes
The zone is for everyone, that should include Monolith members and mutants
The Barrier is to protect the Stalkers from the spawns of the Zone
Just using freedom logic
It was first being protected by Free Stalkers, but Freedom took over the place
Rookies first experience shouldnt be a pack of blind dogs ripping them apart...
Im not blaming them, if the zone is for everyone why kill them? It kinda contradicts their own philosophy
I'm down
Thats what duty does
See, I see it like this
we protect the free stalkers and help ecologists
If you're in your home and a total strange walks into your house, wouldn't you be territorial?
The same is the case with Nature and, as such, the Zone
We are trespassing into nature's domain
That's what Duty does anyways
Also at most the zone must be contained
It is
I think the problem has been created by walking into the Zone in the first place
Wouldnt it be dangerous to see the zone affecting innocent people?
Expansion is still a very vague topic, in my opinion
What if some terrorist get their hands on an artifact?
But no, should be avaible for everybody
Wdym
But Duty also sells them to Traders, which sell them to people in the Big Land

Based Military
I think Duty would be very careful about who sells the artifact to where
Unlike some Loner or bandit trader
The Wiki's outdated
and military
Try out ZSG and Russian/Ukraine/Polish Wikis
Yes
Zone Survival Guide
I'll send a link
The Zone Survival Guide - Everything you need to know about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
I'm an IT student, I'm gonna create a unofficial companion app for these games once I'm fluent in the lore and gameplay
So yeah, it's only available in Russian. That's why it's not posted on the EN Wiki
I can imagine why
Western community is probably not as big as eastern european one
You know what kind of App i would love?!
Translating the SoC encyclopedia into an APP for Android.
That must probably have been a low ranking duty grunt
Doesnt mean the high command does it
Probably not, but they're not stopped either way
Who knows, maybe he was caught
Besides, I doubt they ever leave their base
I think a co operation with Freedom would be much better
Instead of hostile actions
My faction and ideology is far better than yours!
Co-operation is unrealistic, I think
NO!
The barrier should be defended much more heavily
They do have a cease-fire
Dangerous mutants and monolith activities should be hunt down
Yep, that's why there's a cease-fire
My views are just different of the zone
Better for Freedomers to die protecting Stalkers than Dutyers
What would make the Zone happier? the death of a Freedomer or a Dutier?
Weirdly enough, for them, those kind of waves come from the South
Not the North
Mutants, that is
Nothing better than seeing free stalkers enjoy themselves in Rad100 bar
while being safely guarded outside against mutant hordes
Also bandits are a big no no for us
Rostok is supposed to be a safe haven for innocent loners
free from mutants and anomaly horrors
Does Rostok look safe?
I mean, Rookies got to sprint for their lives, outrunning blind dogs
There is blood and bones everywhere
Plus, Duty decides who enters Rostok and who doesn't
Yeah agreed
Plus plus, you have to pay up to enter Rostok
Only CS
But not direct war, to my knowledge
Duty wanted to free wild territory but is lacking manpower
Should just keep it at bay for now
Weirdly enough, Mutants are drawn to the Wild Territory
That feeling when Mercs overpower Duty.
Is it Duty, perhaps?
Or maybe mercs or bandits?
Hunting down mutants
Or pretty much everything harmful towards the Zone
Like Duty
More mutants spawn
Yep
it repeats itself
That's the reality of Duty
And not just Mutants, either
Look at the path towards Rostok
It's dangerous, due to anomalies
I dont really see lots of anomalies towards rostok
Really? that path from garbage to Rostok?
Wait which game are you guys talking about
But the one from Garbage to Rostok
Well Freedom has a bloodsucker village nearby and anomalys too
As Freedom says it, the Zone places anomalies around Duty areas
Wonder what path does Scar takes when going from Garbage to Army.
does he crosses Rostok or wild territory?
Probably around Rostok
Why does it count as self defense for freedom but not for duty?
Imagine Scar traversing an abandoned Rostok. filled with anomalies
Yeah, its a good thing then its easier to contain.
Less innocent lives being threathend in the outside.
Who knows, maybe Scar does go through Rostok
Or maybe it's blocked by anomalies
CS timeline is pretty unstable
Wasnt it expanding?
We don't know if it is
Freedomer: :takes a hit: if you think about it, we are mutants as well... :takes another hit:
Do the games talk about the worlds perspective on the zone?
(Btw guys I hope im not causing beef etc I just love discussing lore with fellow fans)
Nope, sadly no.
Mostly from a Government PoV
I figured there might be some newspapers or something
Maybe a Ukrainian Gov coverup or something
Yeah, the Zone is not a secret, but it is highly guarded
There were news reporters telling people about the Zone
By the way, just a fun fact. Stalkers call the world outside the Zone "The Big Land"
Reporter: Let me show how the zone works, here, here we happen to see an anomaly of sort. I've been told that by throwing a bolt into it you can activate them and see their radious, let me show you, pay attention camera-man.
Throws bolt, misses
Shus, i missed, it's the only bolt i have, let me get it back, hold the mic, camera-man.
Blood splatter everywhere
Thats why it must be eradicated
Oh yeah, you also hear Stalkers joking about news reporters, so I'm pretty sure they're a thing
I can imagine
A news reporter approaching a zombified stalker
Greetings we would like a interview
Wow that's cool
Like a centaur from fallout but not overly disgusting
No its just radioactive
Alright, so this is how it goes:
A TV crew comes to the Zone to shoot their film about it. So they catch up to one of our guys and ask him:
- “What do you think of the army - of the enlisted?”
- “Assholes, all of them, assholes! They're only good for skinning us stalkers. They're afraid of the mutants too. In short - they don't do crap! They're all just assholes!”
The TV crew pause for a moment, stunned, taking it in, before speaking up again:
- “What a radiant display of honesty... This outburst leads us to wonder... What do you think of the faction 'Duty'?”
The Freedomer is silent for a moment, taking the time to think about it for several seconds.
- “You know guys, I think I really overdid it on the army folks. They're alright guys, really!”
Reporter nº 2: We're all sad about what happened a week ago, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm here with an anonymous Stalker, by the name of Dmitry. We can see he's trying to catch an artifact with his up to date detector, tell me Dmitry how does this works?
- tries to get closer to Dmitry, trips and pushes the Stalker*
Blood Splatter
No, both get sucked into the anomaly and then T-pose spinning in the air till they explode
Damned reporters.
Ever try to learn about a game but there's a screaming child that wont stop running around?not a fan of this
Show the child the game
dew it
I despise children
Let him learn early the zone is a dangerous entity
^^^^
I have no patience, thank God she's not mine
Dont most military personnel just wanna go home?
You could turn her into a Female Stalker. She'll be precious.
Most of them just seem done with the zone from what ive heard in their conversations
or some horror stories
Yeah they are very easy to bribe
You can even bribe them yourself in Anomaly
I couldnt decide between Military and Duty
I couldnt stand shooting at loners
You cant play as military can you?
In Anomaly yes
and other mods
Really? Hm
I wonder how that works
Nice
They have traders mechanics here for example
Good for you.
@finite dragon Anomaly and other mods like it are sandboxes and so can afford to make military playable
I feel like mods have carried these games this far in the future
Ahhh he should have known that in the Intro when he was gonna play CoP

but yes, you will play as a military undercover agent in CoP
since its already been said
I never tested it
Drink for me.
Is it safe to say each playthrough is slightly different?
Different character different storys
I figured picking different factions would lead to different quests


hey homies
Play on the hardest difficulty
Crying kitty
salutations friends

It'll fry your braaaaain
Then you need the helmet
Gotta go Yantar, mah du'
Have you downloaded Anomaly at last?
All clean? No yellowish screen or something?
The psi is near the monolith's base.
The brain scorcher itself does not emit dark clouds of hopelessness?
but red forest doesn't affect you at all
Right, got that myself.
fires a bullet, hits f6
Yeah, you need the Psy-Dome
But that's for when you get near the antennas.
Then it gets calibrated for the Brain Scorcher
but the forest itself doesn't do much, right?
Its full of radioactivity and mutants

That's a plus
theres a secret room nearby on some kind of weird bridge

You shouldnt be able to reach the brain scorcher
I would die instantly of big brain hurt
I need Chloe with the Smash emoticon from C-Consciousness

you brekin da game, du'
Or that is happening
Should be impossible to reach brain scorcher
without the psi protection helmet from the scientist
It's the Miracle Machine playing with your brain
It's the Ukrainian version of the Backrooms
Try getting near the antenna.
Miracle machine thats what it was called

Yes
hard candy or soft?
Looks nice
who eats hard taffy
I'm just asking.
man i mean the dank big bag you get at a candy shop
Never seen Taffy in Argentina.
We have Sugus.
Wait, are that those fruity chewing gum kind of candy?
it's not gum
No dik piks, no!
Two different variants
Vintorez can have a scope

However, there is a Sniper variant
guys ima head out and play some vector of alienation
There is one with a scope and one without a scope
see you guys later
Cya later
Have a good play.
There's a speacial VLA with scope?
You get it from Voronin after completing multiple quests
they probably have different names too
Ouch
This one of a kind weapon can only be acquired after doing side missions for General Voronin. After doing several of his optional repeatable quests:
AR-15
Right
Whats wrong with AR 15
It's one of the many models in the AR series
Nothing
Just weird that you called it an AR-15
Yeah
then why did you say ouch tho
The copyright names give me a brain headache
TRs 301
I cant stand these wrong names
Much more satisfying to see the true name
PmM
Tunder S14
IL 86 new soviet WW2 plane
FT-
PmM probably the most brain breaking of all
FT-200M
STOP
S T O P
SPSA-14
SIP-t M200
rostok explodes
Fora-12
Hunting Shotgun

Kora-19? was?
Damn you know them all like the back of your hand it seems
the dragunov how was it?
SVDm-2
Yeah
Yep
Walker p9m, James Bond's favorite.
Vintar BC
More like Jameson Pond.
Vintar
Yep
stop it
Vintar
C E A S E
Vintarez
Bulldog-6
Bulldog-6 is a freaking street gang name not a weapon

germany
04:30 AM living the dream
Hope you dream on Stalker's weapons tag.
I always do
zone doesnt give duty members good dreams
am, pm?

Cool
0900
That's better
0431 Sir
It is now
Guys, I'll tell you one secret
I know all the weapon names, it's true
But I have a weakness
Something I can't seem to remember
Scope names
PSO-1
Kay, amma drink some mate with my family, see ya later.
PSS
Cya
But yeah, they're indeed just variants
At least those of SUSAT Scopes are easy
SUSAT x4 Scope, SUSAT x1.6 Scope, SUSAT Night Scope, SUSAT Twilight Scope and SUSAT Mera Scope
But the PSO series are different everytime
🤷
Let me see if I can remember them
Nah, it's impossible
I know the PSO variations, just not what comes behind it
Like PSO-1m
Oh, it's only the PSO that has that
Alrighty, here's my guess
PSO-1m 5x Scope
PSS-2x Scope
NPSU-1 Scope
PSU-3 Scope
Got NPSU and PSU switched
Close though

Yep, I switched NPSU and PSU around
Thanks
It's kinda natural after you've played for a few years
But don't ask me to write down all the descriptions of items

Anyways, I'll be hitting the hay now
For real, this time

Cya later
You as well
I have a question about Anomaly
What is the faction known as
"sin"
Are they like monolith disciples but don't want to be brainwashed?
Sin and Azazel both aren't Amomawy inventions
Sin was a cut faction from SoC that nobody ever developed into a particularly good idea, they are also known as dark stalkers sometimes
Typically mods make them a group of stalkers that was experimented on and became weird trenchcoat wearing introverts as a result
Azazel mode comes from CoC
hey guys can i ask a question
plz
pretty sure it was a joke
well the question was, is it normal to trust women more than men
Depends
i'm sorry if this is going to start controversy from my question
it's just google wasn't giving me an answer
nah
sometimes it doesn't
mainly it doesn't answer all questions for me because i search weird obscure things like "where to buy 0.13 inch nylon strings for a balalaika" and such
oh
sorry
ok
Just ask the question
i did
dude i am not understanding questions at all yo
sad brainlet moment number two
i understand now
i love the taste of water
i'm going to go drink some
i haven't had water in hours
dude i just got my glass out
i feel so good now
my lips have nevr been this soft
it's not even that bad yo
lol
nice
i don't know what i'd do without stalker
i'd probably still be playing fallout
trying to "learn" russian
man why is learning a language so hard
y tho
i have made 10% progress in 3 years of learning russian
i can't even start a conversation
i can barely understand anything in russian
what do you mean, the way i learn the language
or
no
i kinda took online classes for a month
how do russian people speak a thousand miles an hour when they have a trillion grammar and spelling rules
for nouns (their plurals,) numerals adjectives and pronouns
i am done learning their grammar rules
i quit
Have i mentioned how cool Azazel mode from Anomaly is?
It's a freeplay mod
Many will say it's trash, but if you like to just wander around it's a cool mod
It does have a kind of campaign
Unless you plays as a bandit or something like that
You can play as other factions
It has a somewhat functional warfare mode strapped but it's kinda trash not gonna lie
Makes the game really unstable
Also combines all stalker maps so you have a truckload of places to go
Has lots of guns, uh what else, it has a disguise system
I guess Sin was the Monolith before they became the Monlith
Not in a literal way
And not brainwashed, either
anomaly does have a main quest line, - it's long and good
Just like my 
Your... Diet Sausage?
Yes


I played the Gunslinger Mod’s Beta yesterday, oh god it feels so good to be back in the Zone.

Although I doubt if the Dev team has any plans to bring the Mod to other mods.. but if it does get ported to Call Of Chernobyl or Anomaly..

cheeki breeki
cheekied breekid
What is this, next generation of reddit?
Why are the local psy emitters called psi emissions
Psi means psionic
That means objects
Not mind
Gsc use proper grammar
xd
google psi waves
has anyone else bought stalker like 5 times? i think i bought SoC at least 5 or 6 times
why did you buy stalker like 5 times
i bought a physical disk i bought on steam on GOG and a couple other places
idk
why i did it
makes sense
what other places besides GOG and steam
I bought each one 3x technically: physical, GOG and steam
I wonder if S2 will have loot boxes and other micro transactions
yes
buy artifact cases
boom u got a flash
its common
you wasted 6000k dollars
Jellyfish looks like good nut material
S2 will have MP?
Please tell me they arent making it available to consoles as well...
I'm upset.
Oh no
S2 is 100% going to consoles
hey humans
i think duty is hostile if you kill duty members in rostok
dude nivea is the best ever
I’m new to stalker so hi
well if you kill duty members in army warehouses they are probably going to be hostile in the army wwarehouses
hi swag
My friends are making a custom STALKERRP server on gmod
So I’m getting the games tonight
Hi
also pro tip: play on master
Hi
I know the story but I just want to play the games
always
you have them bought?
Uhh 2 hours left in school
I bet you DON'T know the story
also don't sell all your loot to sidorovich, he's cheap and will give you a lot less money than you would get
I know bits of it
Jester, don't
wait until you find barkeep
Duly noted
Yep
I see
yeah
I’ve seen like the first 30-45 minutes of gameplay
And the amount of Makarovs they got is amazing
amnesia be speaking fax
A video
There are two Makarov models
i feel embarrassed when i tell people i'm american
Same
I always say I’m American but yeah
People look down on Americans online
I’d like to live in Poland or Iceland one day
i fear being laughed at and not taken seriously because of my nationality
Same
I feel like since I have no control over all the controversy (which doesn’t affect me so I don’t care) people still think I come from a place full of it and I don’t think many people like that
I’d like to live in Poland or Iceland one day
Nice to hear that as a pole
My brother is stationed in Poland, or I think Germany now
Poland is like still got that russian feel to it (I love russian history) but still not like, as scary I guess
And yeah he’s Army
that's the feeling of every slavic nation
last time i talked with a russian person, they told me to go home, and then the time before that i was called a "пиндос"
Yeah but Poland is still like in league with NATO and is a bit safer than being an American moving straight to russia
pff... we don't look at that here
Well still, Poland is where I’d like to move, I like how it looks there
From what I’ve seen
good luck with that
Thank you
also soft consonants are pretty important in most slavic languages
it took me a year to master them
lol
I can’t speak anything but English currently, and some French
But only enough to explain I can only converse in English
inhale
Well, slavic languages are really soft
HAHAHAHHAHAAHHHAHHAHAHAHHAA
unlike Germanic family
and that's another type of softness and fluency than Latin ones
the type of softness that I love
Yeah but isn’t polish like Cryllic alphabet combined with Latin
Ah
we just have the simple additions to latin
Well I gtg but it’s been a good time talking to y’all
Hope to see ya around, bye!
my dudes and dudettes, amnesia needs help
i can't help because i forgot stalker SoC
nah homie
Duty won't worry about Silence being killed
I'd help but ya know

questions are cool
I came here to ask questions myself lmao
bruh crimson knows everything
Hello, Newman
hello, jerry
russian stalker wikia is so much cooler than english one
sad american moment
most of the best mods also aren't in English
very big sad
this is why the russian language is so cool
all the good mods are russian
once an english translation is made, a new even cooler russian mod comes out
ZSG is also a good alternative to the EN Wiki
by the time oblivion lost remake 3.0 is released and its translation, oblivion lost remake 5.0 will already be out
it's a vicious cycle
I think 3.0 might be the last numbered release for it
More like by the time it gets translated, a Vector of Alienation addon for it will be out
2021 better be S2’s year, I’ve waited long enough for this game.
you're getting it either late this year or early next year, it's called NLC 7
jester, can you speak russian?
nyet
NLC is the best and most untouchable mod, not yet in English though
NLC7 isn’t how you spell Stalker 2 ;(
sounds like the addon pack
the mod itself is standalone only, total size is around 12GB (but that includes all of SoC)
Do you not have room for 12 gb?
Download over night or something
downloading is a background activity lol
Everyone by now should have google fiber internet
no, google doesn't need another monopoly
Depends on your area/availability
my internet speed is 2 mb/s
4 tops
how can someone get 450 mb/s
that's insanely fast
what
Depending on where you are you can get 800-900 upload and download
For a good price
what
