it's still corruption

hushed current
Don’t npcs call Major Kuznetsov corrupt?
hushed current
Yeah the guy under the bridge
shadow venture
that upgraded fort is why i kill them everytime
it's so usefully when you go to x16
you can still kill him if you want though
dawn whale
you know you can find a walther ontop of the building that leads to garbage from cordon right?
hushed current
Sidorvich actually pays you to get Major Kuznetsovs fort 15
shadow venture
however if you return there will be a spetnaz squad waiting for you
i killed him with a double barrel shotgun
well there's a chance that even if you don't kill him
someone else will
hushed current
When I first played shadow of Chernobyl I wiped out the army checkpoint and Major Kuznetsovs group
shadow venture
bet it was a chaos there when you completed the x18 mission
dawn whale
the 1st time i played it a group of bandits walked by and i just picked the survivors
shadow venture
it's actually good killing before because of the sweet sweet loot
hushed current
When I played clear sky for the first time I tried to wipe out the army checkpoint again but found out enemies won’t stop respawning still got good gear though
shadow venture
you can avoid them
pseudo rivet
Also, Naitor, I would advise you to stop swearing
dawn whale
just get ontop of the bridge, they cant do much and you can take them on with slugs and the shotgun
shadow venture
Also, Naitor, I would advise you to stop swearing
@pseudo rivet i only sweared 2 times and they weren't offending nobody
so it's good
shadow venture
it's better to get a machinegun there before going to the garbage
because of the ammount of enemies there
pseudo rivet
Especially when I'm under orders to accept AMNeSia's "phook"
dawn whale
oh god who made this?
hushed current
Why is swearing against the rules? I hate to be that guy but this is a discord dedicated to an M rated game with killing horror and swearing
pseudo rivet
I am
dawn whale
i love it
pseudo rivet
Why is swearing against the rules? I hate to be that guy but this is a discord dedicated to an M rated game with killing horror and swearing
Basically, blame the media
pseudo rivet
Not quite
dawn whale
yup
hushed current
Blame the media?
dawn whale
just like saying SHOOOT
shadow venture
the fact that you can still get muted over a kid friendly swear is stupid
pseudo rivet
@hushed current
When the server went live, it got raided pretty badly. Media took note of this and made articles about how toxic the server was, bashing GSC
shadow venture
this server is literally dedicated to a game where you kill hundreds of people and doesn't give a damn afterwards
why don't they just ignore media?
hushed current
Well crimson that’s the media for you they take stuff out of context all the time for clicks
pseudo rivet
Pretty much
shadow venture
in the game my kill count was over 1605 when i reached that corridor shooting
the media is an absolute disaster lol
GSC should've ignored them
pseudo rivet
We wanted to have it gone, but due to the Russians loving their swears, it was decided to keep the rule
shadow venture
instead of ruining the server's reputation with this
does russians really say the B word everytime?
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
like people that pretend they are?
pseudo rivet
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
dawn whale
pseudo rivet
I never check up with the RU channels
dawn whale
god i love sid ross
pseudo rivet
I believe they rather mute than warn
shadow venture
instead of literally disabiliting it all
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
and ruining the server's reputation since it's dedicated to a horror game
pseudo rivet
I don't see how this ruins it
shadow venture
a lot of people are probably memeing on it right now and also hating on it
pseudo rivet
Already have
pseudo rivet
Try DoC for a change
shadow venture
lol how this is even scary?
pseudo rivet
Atmosphere
dawn whale
oh yeah i just remembered something
shadow venture
x-16 had a elevator that didn't go down meaning you would never see the rest of the horrors of this lab
dawn whale
the ending sequence of all stalker games is just bad
shadow venture
specially with that music
dawn whale
just fighting hordes of enemies, it throws away everything you've learned in your entire playthrought
shadow venture
x-16 had a elevator that didn't go down meaning you would never see the rest of the horrors of this lab
@shadow venture
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
oh wait no
i just pinged myself
but anyway
x-16 had a elevator that didn't go down meaning you would never see the rest of the horrors of this lab
i didn't say
that you needed it
it's the one at the beggining
did you even played this game?
i was saying it in atmospheric purposes
dawn whale
yeah but its always like, you learned how to survive, now throw all of that away and fight hordes of monlith with powerful futuristic hitscan weapons
shadow venture
that would never see the rest of the bizzare experiments the scientists did at that facility that is slowy decaying
finite dragon
noob!!!!
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
and all you hear is the sounds of the miracle machine
that even if you disable it
it can still produces sounds on your mind that are crepy as hell
dawn whale
ah yeah, tbh i liked it
i did like all those creepy abandoned places the game gets you to explore
shadow venture
jupiter factory factory was creepy because it made you feel dead inside because how empty it is
and how nobody tries to go there
hitscan weapons are always cancerous thoughts
it's not DOOM
dawn whale
finding a mutant, not knowing what it would do to you, and having a bunch of creepy noises sorrounding you, if there was something stalker has nailed is the atmosphere
shadow venture
where you can't miss or can't dodge anything
finite dragon
i hate CS because no labs.
dawn whale
yeah
shadow venture
x16 was the only place that was unsettling as hell to me
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
i went there with only a sunrise suit lol
dawn whale
where did you find a seva before x-18?
finite dragon
I walked into the sarcophagus with a completely broken Berill-5.
dawn whale
all i had was the sunrise and then the monolith suit inside
shadow venture
i like how the monolith tanks you as hell
but the actually monolith stalkers dies easily
dawn whale
is it the one with the bunch of weird grass in the wild territory?
but that seva is part of a stash
yup
shadow venture
i only found a freedom suit there
it looks like you need to find the stash location from a dead boy that probably isn't even in wild territory
dawn whale
idk, i do remember finding a seva after exploring that whole area, but it was inside a safe that was a stash location
shadow venture
stashes doesn't have nothing if you open them without it showing the purple mark
dawn whale
yeah i had the mark for it
shadow venture
you probably was lucky as hell to find the location from one of the dead bodies
dawn whale
it was a stash then
maybe you killed one of the mercs in there and they droped the location
shadow venture
i remember how i got the location of fang's grave and forgot to pick the advanced exoskeleton
dawn whale
f
shadow venture
F
dawn whale
yeah, i got it by chance at the last second, so i had to backtrack a bit
too bad there are no techs in shoc that can allow you to sprint in exo
pseudo rivet
Why does everyone call it "ShoC"
dawn whale
cuz it sounds better than soc, wich sounds like sock
pseudo rivet
Bruh?
feral verge
Most people call it SoC
finite dragon
Guys?!!!!!
pseudo rivet
SoC Gang
dawn whale
lol
feral verge
SoCk gangan
finite dragon
me try to finish SoC again with good ending!!!!!!!
shadow venture
LOL
feral verge
Dude, nice
dawn whale
dawn whale
but then you dont get happy strelok sleepin on the cgi grass
pseudo rivet
Only good ending is the "Lost to the Zone" ending
feral verge
The only reason CS is the best game is because it has the best faction
pseudo rivet
You get it when you die
feral verge
Renegadis gods of zona
pseudo rivet
Ayy
feral verge
pseudo rivet
Y u Free Stalker, doe?
dawn whale
god the renegaes
shadow venture
these murders are nothing compared to the ammount of stalkers he killed
dawn whale
csc's dummy bandits
feral verge
Because I'm Free Stalker in every discord
Killhakan without the yellow name just feels wrong
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
people always ask how is X-8 but they never ask how is X-1.
shadow venture
the group is probably alive
feral verge
I'm also highkey a Freedom supporter 
pseudo rivet
And don't barge in saying they're alive, Crimson.
Only C-Con got destroyed
dawn whale
isnt strelok showing them how his kalashnikov works the canon ending?
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
isnt strelok showing them how his kalashnikov works the canon ending?
Likely
shadow venture
controlling the damage don't help much either
pseudo rivet
Since we see him in CoP
pseudo rivet
He literally shot them. Even if he shot only the equipment, the scientists wouldn't have survived the destruction of life-support.
The Group doesn't just exist of the scientists in C-Con
What if CoP is the figment of someone's imagination and not canon?
It's Canon
shadow venture
if the group died
dawn whale
wait, isnt the brain scorcher deactivated too?
shadow venture
the monolith would pretty much cease
pseudo rivet
It is
dawn whale
cant we finally go take a ride in the wheel?
pseudo rivet
Which is why CoP plays past the Brain Scorcher
shadow venture
the monolith is made by the group
pseudo rivet
Monolith is connected straight to the Zone, not to C-Consciousness.
Unknown
shadow venture
and the brain scorcher is man-made
dawn whale
but they would be the remnants of the monolith
shadow venture
yeah
dawn whale
still following the previous orders
pseudo rivet
Still, it's not the only Emitter in the Zone
shadow venture
meaning they are ceasing
dawn whale
well, as normally as monolith can be
pseudo rivet
Which explains why the Monolith in CoP are still getting reinforcements from Chernobyl NPP
dawn whale
tbh, id like to see something like a sidestory where you play as a member of monolith and you end up discovering that all the time you were playing as Scar
shadow venture
someone made as SFM animation based on that
dawn whale
now that be a nice ending for him
shadow venture
except the monolith guy wasn't scar
pseudo rivet
You mean the Generators
pseudo rivet
They're about 1.5 KM away from the CNPP
shadow venture
how come the army didn't got totally thrashed before they could even reach it
oh well
finite dragon
people always ask where is Final Day but they never ask how is Final Day
shadow venture
but they wouldn't get more ppl from CNPP
finite dragon
if stalkers were sooo scared to go to the north, why didnt they go to the route Scar and Clear Sky used?
actually, they will be replaced.
if stalkers keep pew pew to the monolith small brains, monolith die.
pseudo rivet
how come the army didn't got totally thrashed before they could even reach it
They did
dawn whale
those helicopters work in mysterious ways
shadow venture
how are you typing so fast?
finite dragon
the monolith 'Scar' is just someone else with another name. Scar is lost to the zone bro.
dawn whale
yup
shadow venture
he and the clear sky died in vain pretty much
pseudo rivet
those helicopters work in misterious ways
They've got some sort of anti-Emission system or something
shadow venture
i mean they "saved" strelok
finite dragon
Scar is easily fooled from what I see in Clear Sky.
shadow venture
but the emission still happened and mostly everyone died or turned into a monolith goon
dawn whale
strelok: u got any idea how fast i am?! *blows up tunel *
finite dragon
how did he even blow up the tunnel.
pseudo rivet
Hired Stalkers, I assume
shadow venture
maybe he predicted the future and placed charges there
dawn whale
tbh idk how did that even went by
shadow venture
i wonder why his voice is different in all the 3 games though
dawn whale
cuz when you reach him hes just there and you just chase him and then the hired loners attack you and then he blows up the tunel
shadow venture
he barely knew the existence of the clear sky
dawn whale
like if he had everything ready for you
frail spire
Strelok wasn't that good of a shot, he was always working with someone
Same with Degtyarev
shadow venture
he probably blowed up the tunnels with a rpg-7
while the hired stalkers slowed you down
finite dragon
Strelok knew because the PDA in the agroprom underground said that someone is trying contact them.
pseudo rivet
I believe it was Fang who warned him about Scar and CS
dawn whale
idk, its just some weird series of events that happen really fast
frail spire
Despite being super spy you end up in pripyat with other stalkers and get reverse ambushed
pseudo rivet
No
shadow venture
fang was dead lol
dawn whale
f
pseudo rivet
Still though, that note can be found around Jupiter, so that got retconned in some way
shadow venture
the monolith showed the NO U card to the military goons
finite dragon
Fang was still alive but mightve died in the warehouses during CS or in between SoC and CS.
shadow venture
MIA?
dawn whale
missing in action
shadow venture
there's another grave in pripyat
pseudo rivet
There's the real grave and the fake grave
dawn whale
yeah
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
Strelok prolly went from Cordon - Agroprom - Yantar - Red Forest - Yanov or Zaton (maybe?) - CNPP
pseudo rivet
Yea, that's the confusing part, since Scar didn't come across Fang, yet his death is listed by a mercenary having a VSS.
Description didn't match Scar, though
dawn whale
is he the real mastermind behind that?
finite dragon
bro there are mercs in the warehouses.
pseudo rivet
It's one big retcon
dawn whale
i mean, the guy that saved strelok also has the same weapon
and would kinda also match the description a bit
shadow venture
he's a stalker
finite dragon
he's a stalker
dawn whale
ummm
finite dragon
like everyone else?
dawn whale
i dont like how that sounds
shadow venture
didn't the dog of that free stalker appear in the intro of CS?
shadow venture
that pseudodog looked very different
finite dragon
what???
pseudo rivet
Please don't
hushed current
Is call of Chernobyl for call of Pripyat?
shadow venture
that would be a problem
finite dragon
Doc isnt Noah. they dont even look alike.
shadow venture
because he could be killed
pseudo rivet
Exactly
shadow venture
and nobody deserves to see their dog killed by a freedumb high on cocain
dawn whale
imagine if you had a psy-dog on your command
hushed current
The doc is Noah theory is still better then the multiple strelok theory
dawn whale
that be amazing
pseudo rivet
In fact, during CoP's events, there hasn't been a cocaine supply for quite some months
finite dragon
Doc was prolly chilling somewhere in CoP.
shadow venture
why not a bloodsucker on your commant then
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
maybe they got someone else to get a steady supply
pseudo rivet
Ganja used to have Zone-grown weed, but it sucked
finite dragon
there is cocaine in the zone
dawn whale
wait, doesnt duty says that freedom likes snorks a little too much?
finite dragon
true
pseudo rivet
wait, doesnt duty says that freedom likes snorks a little too much?
Nope
shadow venture
maybe they use snorks to make cocaine
finite dragon
we need to know more about drug trafficking in the zone
pseudo rivet
OK, Crimson - about those generators, mind explaining to me what they are?
They basically create the Emissions
shadow venture
where it says that tho
hushed current
They grind snorks into snorkane
dawn whale
lol
shadow venture
lol
finite dragon
they are in cnpp-2
how did the merc inside the space anomaly have such a quick change of heart? he went "space anomaly bad" to "I LOVE THE ZONE!!!!!"
shadow venture
maybe he wanted the zone to spare his life
finite dragon
after you leave monolith control room or after you talk to the hologram of c-con scientist
in cnpp-2
pseudo rivet
wait, doesnt duty says that freedom likes snorks a little too much?
It's from some dumb screenshot of a Freedomer using Bandit dialogue. Due to dialogue being shared, the Freedomer said that he "had a craving so bad, even Mutants look hot". In fact, this is supposed to be said by Bandits
shadow venture
wait
finite dragon
Theres no generators creating emissions geographically
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
i cant tell if Generators are canon or not.
pseudo rivet
They are
shadow venture
now i fell bad for snorks
shadow venture
that suddenly disappear after going next to a bandit camp
finite dragon
we arent talking about generators map are we
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
i thought we talking about those large generators in the second cnpp map
shadow venture
i like how big the CNPP map looked
but in the game it didn't let you explore
nothing
finite dragon
you can explore tho
pseudo rivet
SoC memory is a little rusty
shadow venture
there's a time limit before your brains get fried
pseudo rivet
Yes
finite dragon
Phil. Doctor?
pseudo rivet
Nope
finite dragon
what is Ph.D
dawn whale
finite dragon
im dissapointed
finite dragon
?
dawn whale
also i did a bit of a search, just to be sure, freedom getting it on with snorks is a meme
finite dragon
it is
shadow venture
cRiNgE
finite dragon
duty playing eachothers meatchunks is a meme
dawn whale
lol
shadow venture
bet that meme turned into r34 matrial
dawn whale
i can see that
finite dragon
and freedom having sex with bloodsuckers is a meme
shadow venture
@midnight wagon at least i have a faction
finite dragon
its not canon
finite dragon
then your a free stalker
dawn whale
ah cuz freedom loves the zone, so they'd be sharing the love with the mutants
finite dragon
yeah military gang
shadow venture
@midnight wagon so you are going to let the zone swallow you and then burst it off earth
finite dragon
I am in the zone to steal lives.
pseudo rivet
Also, I believe the Generators at CNPP aren't accessible
shadow venture
nobody sides with the zone
it wants to kill everyone in there
it will like it did to several stalkers
even monolithians get killed by the zone
pseudo rivet
Shamans, Freedom, Clear Sky
finite dragon
nobody sides with the zone
@shadow venture you see them
dawn whale
even freedom wants to "free the zone" just so that people can come and go as they please
pseudo rivet
Obviously the Monolith
dawn whale
yeah just them
finite dragon
i mean
dawn whale
not by choice tho
finite dragon
Also, I believe the Generators at CNPP aren't accessible
@pseudo rivet you see them
shadow venture
hold up
finite dragon
wrong response
pseudo rivet
yeah just them
Shamans, Freedom, Clear Sky
shadow venture
can't the monolith ally with freedom?
dawn whale
oh and sin
shadow venture
@midnight wagon except it doesn't
pseudo rivet
They're brainwashed
pseudo rivet
Semi-Canon
finite dragon
ye kinda
shadow venture
it will kill you even if you
dawn whale
one day well get to kill sin troopers
shadow venture
doesn't kill anyone or anything in the zone
finite dragon
theres no direct mention of sin, only dark stalkers which may or may not have a different meaning than sin in the final game
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
semi-canon like Final Day but other cut factions like Strangers and ISG aren’t canon.
shadow venture
when did it said it?
finite dragon
yeah true
pseudo rivet
ISG never got mentioned
pseudo rivet
The UN, however, are mentioned
dawn whale
isg?
finite dragon
if they don’t have a line dialogue and they are cut, they are not canon.
pseudo rivet
That's what I said
finite dragon
international science group, ecologists 2.0
pseudo rivet
if they don’t have a line dialogue and they are cut, they are not canon.
Basically
dawn whale
ahhh
finite dragon
UNISG and ISG are separate things from what i’ve heard.
pseudo rivet
Aren't some of the normal Ecologists a part of the ISG? As in, not a specific group, but just generally international scientists?
UN is UN
shadow venture
ecologists still get thrashed by the zone even thought they just want to research it
finite dragon
Unitied Nations would definitely have a interest in the zone tho
dawn whale
mostly by zombies or mercs
pseudo rivet
Yes
finite dragon
international science group, ecologists 2.0
they are portrayed as more trained and more deadly.
shadow venture
oh so the ISG is these guys in COP
pseudo rivet
Of course
finite dragon
international
dawn whale
that sounds like id might get payed more if i could trade them some artifacts
finite dragon
basically Military with the intelligence of ecologists.
pseudo rivet
oh so the ISG is these guys in COP
?
shadow venture
are they even canon
finite dragon
NO
pseudo rivet
The UN is Canon, though
finite dragon
like i said no line of dialogue, and cut equals not canon.
HOWEVER
true true
real facts
pseudo rivet
They've got troops patrolling the perimeter and observers
shadow venture
i like how we were talking about how the zone doesn't kills anyone who doesn't uses violence but suddenly now we are talking about factions that barely appears in the series
finite dragon
GSC could use ISG in later games.
finite dragon
yeah nimble mentions it
But where exactly is the UN mentioned?
isn’t it the line of dialogue mentioning a new expedition?
pseudo rivet
And Hog, yes
finite dragon
hog mentions it?
pseudo rivet
Apparently, yes
finite dragon
Orest i know too
hog is a really minor character imo
you only are required to speak with him once
shadow venture
isn't that guy who tries to mug you?
finite dragon
a lot of people would forget or just not read it
no lol
wat
was Hog a merc in the waste processing station or the scientists bunker?
pseudo rivet
No
finite dragon
NIEHTER
Mercs kill or guard for money.
Hog is the merc in the bloodsucker village in cs
ye ye
your right amnesia
shadow venture
lol i've never seen him
finite dragon
hes legit required to beat CS
pseudo rivet
He's literally part of the main quest line
finite dragon
if you dont talk to him you will be stuck
pseudo rivet
dawn whale
oh yeah
finite dragon
or you just didnt play clear sky lmao
shadow venture
oh wait he's that guy in CS
finite dragon
Since there are so few mercs in CoP. I assume interest in the zone for money has gone down.
shadow venture
legit thought it was in ShoC
finite dragon
there arent few mercs in CoP
dawn whale
if you are friends with duty hog will ask them to help you get in the base they want to capture from the military
freedom*
pseudo rivet
Since there are so few mercs in CoP. I assume interest in the zone for money has gone down.
Just take a look at the Zone after you made it to Pripyat
It's chaos
dawn whale
yeah
finite dragon
actually, hog will give you option to raid it with freedom no matter if your a friend of freedom or not
shadow venture
i wonder why there are so many people with SEVAs when you disable the brain scorcher
finite dragon
four if you count the guys in the Pripyat book store.
or maybe they are the same guys.
shadow venture
but they barely go to the center of the zone
dawn whale
well, the seva got nice protection against everything in the zone
shadow venture
they just stand in random areas
dawn whale
like anomalies
finite dragon
animals?
but i mean CoP kind changed Pripyat. Kindergarten was moved to the outskirts and not the palace of culture.
dawn whale
anomalies
finite dragon
well, the seva got nice protection against everything in the zone
bullets?
pseudo rivet
but i mean CoP kind changed Pripyat. Kindergarten was moved to the outskirts and not the palace of culture.
CoP Pripyat is a mess
finite dragon
Call of pripyat pripyat is a completely different part of pripyat
pseudo rivet
It screws with the Pripyat we've seen in SoC
shadow venture
maybe the SOC pripyat is connected to the COP pripyat
finite dragon
SoC pripyat and CoP pripyat are different areas in pripyat
pseudo rivet
It doesn't fit
finite dragon
radiation is the same for every armor from what i see.
shadow venture
maybe the SOC pripyat is connected to the COP pripyat
finite dragon
i thought
dawn whale
well seva tends to be more or less a well rounded suit
finite dragon
It doesn't fit
@pseudo rivet a lot of the CoP maps were kind of strange imo. Zaton and Pripyat. Still a great game though
pseudo rivet
Kinda
tired anvil
Isnt it like 5 am for you Crimson jfc
shadow venture
they were kind of a mess tbh
finite dragon
crimson is always awake
pseudo rivet
6
finite dragon
crimson never sleeps
shadow venture
crimson is a dark stalker
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
can you remove my monolith role
pseudo rivet
-takerole @finite dragon Monolith
iron heathBOT
Auttaja
dawn whale
crimssom be like a true stalker, downing energy drink after energy drink
finite dragon
freedom forever
shadow venture
oh wait
finite dragon
dawn whale
now thats power
shadow venture
comrade crimson is a mutant and stalker mashup
dawn whale
you become mega weak agaisnt electricity tho
pseudo rivet
Guys, why does the night have a sun?
shadow venture
lol
pseudo rivet
Doesn't seem to make sense
finite dragon
no
shadow venture
guess the worlld is going to end
dawn whale
109% endurance and i think -10% elect
finite dragon
109% endurance is the max
shadow venture
eletricity doesn't appers much in pripyat
shadow venture
what's the perfect armor though?
dawn whale
shadow venture
finite dragon
sweater gang
dawn whale
addidas tracksuit ofc
finite dragon
ok slavaboo
shadow venture
very funni
dawn whale
bandits wear that, and they get deep into the zone
shadow venture
now tell me the actually perfect suit
finite dragon
bandits only wear track pants
shadow venture
or the best possible suit
finite dragon
and leather jacket
shadow venture
if they get deep using track suits
finite dragon
the farthest they can go is wild territory
shadow venture
might as well go naked
dawn whale
then why did a band of traveling bandits kill me as i loaded into the redforest?
finite dragon
wind of freedom for short minimum force missions
shadow venture
i find the bandits with mercenary suits weird
pseudo rivet
Renegades
finite dragon
RENEGADES
shadow venture
how they have that much time to paint or even get these suits
dawn whale
lol
finite dragon
lol
shadow venture
i like how every faction has their own suits and weapons but they never tells us how they get it
finite dragon
they are bandits
pseudo rivet
They're actually Bandits
finite dragon
you said red forest
pseudo rivet
Not Renegades
finite dragon
not lemansk
pseudo rivet
Yes
finite dragon
limansk has bandits, red forest has renegades
shadow venture
i wonder how renegades even managed to reach red forest
finite dragon
Oh...forgot those tunnel Bandits in Red Forest.
dawn whale
the magics of the zone
finite dragon
@midnight wagon
shadow venture
without getting demolished by bloodsuckers
pseudo rivet
i like how every faction has their own suits and weapons but they never tells us how they get it
Artisans, DIY, commisoned, etc.
finite dragon
o
shadow venture
Artisans? DIY? wha
pseudo rivet
Wait
finite dragon
lmao wat
shadow venture
if they were renegades they would die on their way to limansk
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
they die
shadow venture
and we kill them
finite dragon
a lot
dawn whale
they did have expert and veteran bandit gear
keen hollow
i just got killed by vova vist and my game crashed.
finite dragon
they die lol
pseudo rivet
Vova Vist is as strong as ever
shadow venture
i found an whole squad of dead stalkers with exos
finite dragon
you cant wipe them out tho
shadow venture
on red forest
shadow venture
no way they would live that long
finite dragon
northern*
pseudo rivet
Northern
shadow venture
that's for gameplays purposes
dawn whale
i guess they are just renegades in gameplay cuz they wanted to make the player fight them and not have problems if they joined the bandit faction
shadow venture
LOL WHAT
pseudo rivet
Well, CoP also has "Renegades"
dawn whale
oh yeah i forgot about that
keen hollow
ain't renegades just bandits?
finite dragon
kinda
pseudo rivet
No
shadow venture
renegades are bandit puppets
dawn whale
its hard to separate them cuz they just have the exact same lines when you fight them
keen hollow
ah, alright.
pseudo rivet
Bandits basically tax, loanshark, exploit Stalkers
finite dragon
in cs atleast
pseudo rivet
Renegades mug and kill Stalkers for loot
finite dragon
and cop according to dialogue
keen hollow
time for me to fight against vova vist again.
shadow venture
bandits did the exact same thing in ShoC
pseudo rivet
bandits the exact same thing in ShoC
SoC Bandits are Renegades
finite dragon
in my last game the machine gunners name was "vova vacuum" no joke
shadow venture
they also do that in clear sky and call of pripyat
dawn whale
what?
finite dragon
they act like renegades
shadow venture
if you don't join any faction in CS they mug you
finite dragon
shoot everyone on site
pseudo rivet
What Aderoj said
dawn whale
cant we just say that renegades are just a faction that exists so that we can kill bandits and still join the bandit faction?
shadow venture
and in COP they also trie to mug you if you find every artifact type
pseudo rivet
They don't bleed others dry with taxes
keen hollow
dang it vova crashed my game again.
shadow venture
and you can witness they mugging other stalkers
dawn whale
f
finite dragon
no
pseudo rivet
Nope
finite dragon
?
pseudo rivet
Likely CoP
dawn whale
i think its cs
shadow venture
in SoC you need to kill him
pseudo rivet
Shishak or Jack?
finite dragon
no
shadow venture
wait
finite dragon
you kill him
finite dragon
jack is in cop
pseudo rivet
CoP
finite dragon
in cs there is no jack
finite dragon
borov is leader in soc
pseudo rivet
Yoga, yeah
shadow venture
in SOC borov commands the fortress
pseudo rivet
Borov is basically a good ol' Renegade
shadow venture
lol when i went to that hospital in shoc
the whole place turned into a graveyard
pretty sad
finite dragon
clear sky bandits > shadow of chernobyl bandits
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
in clear sky they magically have painted merc suits
keen hollow
vova vist is killing me so hard that he's making my game crashed.
finite dragon
and CoP bandits are pretty cool also
that they are split into multiple gangs/groups
keen hollow
how tf do you survive against him
finite dragon
you do
shadow venture
CoP has the colest ones
pseudo rivet
And take cover behind rocks
shadow venture
sorry can't spell it proper
keen hollow
simple solution. don't die
pseudo rivet
Basically
shadow venture
what is vova vist tho
pseudo rivet
Machine Gunner in CS
finite dragon
i first run, hide behind a tree, SECOND HE STOPS SHOOTING, just run around that little hole in the fence and if your lucky you wont get shot or eaten alive by dogs past that point
keen hollow
you don't know vova vist?
pseudo rivet
Cordon
pseudo rivet
Or just run
shadow venture
i never noticed the hole in the fence so i lowered the game difficulty and runned
pseudo rivet
No need to kill a figure as hole as him
shadow venture
running also gets you killed anyway
keen hollow
there's an hole in the fence?
finite dragon
Just take your AK-74 and shoot the MG nest.
@midnight wagon impossible
shadow venture
they have too much health
finite dragon
unless you are playing on novice
@shadow venture wow
shadow venture
it's almost impossible
finite dragon
if GSC is planning to include the palace of culture in STALKER 2, they have to make a ton of changes.
shadow venture
i putted it on master back
finite dragon
he said almost impossible
pseudo rivet
Naitor skrub confirmed
finite dragon
master is literally harder than novice. i have no idea why people beleive this stupid myth that stalker is easier on harder difficult
shadow venture
i didn't said it was almost impossible in novice
pseudo rivet
Didn't do the Holy Run on Master
shadow venture
lol i did said master is harder
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
which is why i said i lowered the difficulty so i wouldn't get shreded by that machinegunner
no u
shadow venture
in CS everything is expensive as hell
finite dragon
for a full condition AC-96/2 its 1k to sid
shadow venture
i literally wasted 2k to fix my suit only to get it destroyed minutes afterwards
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
probably upped the prices maybe, idk never played srp
like how is the zone stable with that economy.
vanilla forever
shadow venture
seriously when i went to cordon
finite dragon
clear sky economy is easy af
pseudo rivet
Ouch
shadow venture
and saw these military dudes with AKS
pseudo rivet
This chat becoming kinda wack
shadow venture
i lowered my difficult to the easiest one for the rest of the game lel
finite dragon
i think it was SRP or something idk.
if you artefact hunt daily you get like 15k off one artefact, even sold to bandits
shadow venture
since when clear sky economy is easy af lol
i never found artifacts on that goddam game
pseudo rivet
Always was
finite dragon
Vanilla is unplayable.
@midnight wagon i played vanilla. and beat it. dozens of times.
shadow venture
only in SOC and CoP
finite dragon
i’m not gonna replay CS ever again without mods.
shadow venture
well unless you are a mashochist maniac
then you probably beated it a dozen times
pseudo rivet
shadow venture
i got my save-games corrupted several times before reaching limansk
finite dragon
never had a single save corrupt in my total 800 hours of vanilla clear sky.
pseudo rivet
Never had a corrupt save file
finite dragon
same, crimson.
shadow venture
800 hours of vanilla clear sky
finite dragon
SoC crashed two times. CS crashed once. CoP crashed zero times.
never had a CS crash.
its probably just that you have really bad hardware then
probably,
shadow venture
my game crashed when i tried to use a grenade
finite dragon
my game crashed when i tried to use a grenade
F
shadow venture
SoC worked the best for me
shadow venture
SoC was just boring since mostly of the time it was just mowing down several enemy platoons
while in CoP it had fun side quests
finite dragon
1 in 3 buyers of STALKER games will have problems.
the X-Ray curse claims the lives of many.
i never have had real problems with stalker aside from few bugs
shadow venture
CS was disasturous for me though
it looked like COD except it's harder than hotline miami
finite dragon
SoC and CS could’ve been masterpieces if they worked at launch.
the only major bug that really ruined my game (kinda) i had was twice in clear sky when freedom ran out of men to capture points and duty kept taking any point i held within minutes but clear sky would never get anymore men to capture points
they worked at launch
i like to think CoP just isn’t canon because it changes too much.
finite dragon
i have played the release version of clear sky and it was fine except the only real thing that pissed me off was that whenever i broke a metal box the items would spawn 30 meters away from it.
pseudo rivet
i like to think CoP just isn’t canon because it changes too much.
Welp, it is
shadow venture
the game is linear but it's cannon
shadow venture
LOL no
pseudo rivet
So you want the same, re-hashed locations?
New locations that fits with the Zone we know
shadow venture
i tried to say it's canon
finite dragon
its just they kinda mashed like multiple locations onto the same map and it ended up strangely kind of
shadow venture
it looks like the zone made it completey disfigured than before
finite dragon
I want new locations. CS has the same locations but it had Limansk, Red Forest, Hospital and a new version of the CNPP.
limansk is a cool map
pseudo rivet
Lore-wise, yes. But with SoC's and CS' map? No
finite dragon
and pripyat SoC is nice
pripyat SoC has some exploration, stashes etc.
and out of bounds areas
shadow venture
so it can be more opened
finite dragon
what is going on
shadow venture
i agree
pseudo rivet
They can definitely be polished
finite dragon
it is what it is
Limansk is a path of no return. If you go to Limansk, you are stuck with the story.
and they turned out pretty nicely too
finite dragon
thats subjective though
shadow venture
it's frustating as hell though
pseudo rivet
Well, they currently are
finite dragon
Pripyat was an area you could explore.
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
lemansk has some exploration
shadow venture
can't repair nothing
it doesn't have any
can't enter buildings or anything lol
you just go into a straight line
finite dragon
Limansk is linear. It feels like I’m playing Call of Duty WW2 Normandy mission.
shadow venture
true
finite dragon
like that time machine reference
ok
where you get ambushed by monolith
and clear sky tells you to run away
shadow venture
time machine reference?
finite dragon
I want the Northern part of the zone. like the three stalker games focus on the southern part of the zone.
theres a basement with a time machine as a reference to a movie
its there tho
shadow venture
sincerely i think the maps in clear sky have worsened
finite dragon
how so
shadow venture
there's anomalies in the worst places possibles which makes you to take another way that can also kill you
finite dragon
red forest was a upgrade from soc red forest imo
or the dead forest whatever
and swamps was a lot better
Limansk, CNPP, and the Hospital are just areas of trial and error.
shadow venture
red forest in cs was a nightmare for me lol
shadow venture
specially that bloodsucker that appeared behind me
finite dragon
You mean the Monolith ambush on the street where they shoot at you from all apartment buildings?
@midnight wagon right after you kill all those bandits
red forest in cs was a nightmare for me lol
same. it’s basically a rad field out there.
when monolith ambushes you with all the freedom and duty corpses
shadow venture
i remember how i tried to kill every monolith member there
shadow venture
there's no basements
finite dragon
theres legit 2 basements in that area
tired anvil
Limansk is the only place in the trilogy where Bandits have an exoskeleton, hands down one of the best maps
shadow venture
the only one i found wasn't even there
finite dragon
1 with items and gear
shadow venture
and it all had crates with ammo
pseudo rivet
Alright
finite dragon
and 2 with a time machine that you can peek through
pseudo rivet
Best map in STALKER
pseudo rivet
Agroprom
shadow venture
if you can't get in then that's bad game design
finite dragon
I have no real favorite location. Maybe Yantar.
finite dragon
agroprom is based
the only map that stayed the same for the entirety of development
tired anvil
Are we talking about maps that only made it or cut content as well
shadow venture
that underground part in cs was kinda intense though
thank good they didn't added the pripyat underground in CS
i mean it would be cool
but it would be hell
finite dragon
it would’ve been cool.
shadow venture
no
finite dragon
my favorite maps would be
- The Great Swamps Clear Sky
- Agroprom Shadow of chernobyl
- red forest clear sky
shadow venture
i didn't get scared from it in COP thought
to me it felt like one of the best parts of the game
finite dragon
but one of the concept arts had a pseudo-giant.
shadow venture
but mix the bigass ammount of monsters there with clear sky mechanics
pseudo rivet
thank good they didn't added the pripyat underground in CS
Can't return to resupply plus pretty dark
shadow venture
oh it also would have a pseudogiant
pseudo rivet
But yeah, kinda sad
shadow venture
that i wasted all my ammo to kill
finite dragon
the original pripyat underground was never implemented sadly
shadow venture
why would you want to acess it forever?
finite dragon
you can still read about it
Pripyat might’ve been in CS because there was a cut location about some bridge.
pseudo rivet
I do have to say that of all maps I hate Pripyat 1 the most
shadow venture
once you kill everyone there it would be just plain scary though
shadow venture
SOC pripyat
pseudo rivet
Pripyat 1
finite dragon
agree
pseudo rivet
The tunnel
finite dragon
pripyat underground aint even in the game nor was ever implemented in any development stages
pseudo rivet
All UGs are forever accessible, except Pripyat/Yanov/Limansk UG.
Limansk UG?
shadow venture
limansk barely had an underground
pseudo rivet
Limansk didn't have an underground
shadow venture
well unless you count the entrance
finite dragon
yanov is just the train station
pseudo rivet
He's referring to Pripyat
finite dragon
no underground except that basement with trapper i guess but doesnt count really
pseudo rivet
The one that was in CoP, which was just recycled from Limansk to Chernobyl's access.
That's Pripyat's
shadow venture
i wonder how these things worked before the chernobly disaster though
would've been cool to see
pseudo rivet
Alright, for ease's sake
finite dragon
theres no pripyat underground near lemansk canonically
pseudo rivet
You've got the Pripyat Catacombs and Pripyat 1
finite dragon
ye ye
pseudo rivet
The Catacombs are past the Deserted Hospital
finite dragon
pripyat catacombs is from clear sky design documents, yes?
keen hollow
I found a way to get passed the army machinegunner
pseudo rivet
Yup
keen hollow
without fighting him
finite dragon
it’s funny how mods call the Pripyat UG “Jupiter Underground.”
pripyat 1 is the underground in cop leading to pripyat yeah?
shadow venture
jesus christ lol
shadow venture
COC/Anomaly/Misery mixed all of the maps of the series together
shadow venture
yet they were still boring to explore because of the lack of people there
finite dragon
you mean call of misery?
shadow venture
yeah
finite dragon
but mods should at least try to stay close to the original design of the Zone.
keen hollow
you know that there was another area where you can go to cordon without going near to the military base?
pseudo rivet
Of course
finite dragon
Narodnaya solyanka where zaton and jupiter are east of red forest from SoC
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
every mod nails where Cordon is. the very bottom of the entire map.
keen hollow
ok
finite dragon
true true
shadow venture
wonder what happens if you kill every minor or major character in COC though
pseudo rivet
Yes
finite dragon
but then mods like Road to the North make Zaton and Yanov not even connected. here’s another one from RTTN, Great Swamps and Cordon aren’t connected either. like how do you mess up that badly?
shadow venture
would you go there with backup or alone tho?
