There's also bandits with an Exo

bandit exo exists and we know that

but sunrise?

pseudo rivet
#

There is a bandit who wears Sunrise suit. Does that make Sunrise not a stalker suit anymore or what?

One of the bandits wears that to trick you

#

Also, yeah, there's a Bandit with an Exoskeleton and an RP-74

#

His name is Red

from the trailer i thought the graphics would be a little something like the telltale graphics but a little better
@rocky night

Telltale graphics? Telltale Games? Cartoonish style?

#

I want one bottle of that beer of yours

nah

I have no idea what I meant

#

Someone knows why in stalker steam version

#

It won’t take an screenshot even if I hit F12?

tired anvil
#

Go to your files

#

Generally you need to launch Steam as admin for f12 to work I believe

#

But stalker does screenshots with f12 as well and saves them in a folder

#

Shift+tab won't work either for example

finite dragon
#

Ok thx

@finite dragon thank you Nyx, but after going through thousands of files I found out that my games was generating an empty file that ultimately crashed the whole game, deleted it and it works like a charm now! Thank you though!

Of course man!

Hey guys

#

Do you know if there is a stalker album on Apple Music and if there is what is name

tired anvil
#

I don't think there is one tbh

#

I might be wrong but I don't recall one on Spotify, so I'm not sure about Apple Music either

sturdy jolt
#

The Bandits you encounter directly when you enter Limansk
@pseudo rivet he's talking about the ambush bandits.

#

They're different from the group you encounter later.

#

And also, even if these guys are "Red's people", why would you think the machine gunner is their leader?

tired anvil
#

I don't recall him stating that GWseremePeepoThink

pseudo rivet
#

Of course he's talking about the Bandits who've prepared an ambush

sturdy jolt
#

I don't recall him stating that :GWseremePeepoThink:
@tired anvil you should be glad I always have dialogues unpacked.

#

Thanks for saving my ass. Looks like you're going to town. Watch out - Red's people set up an ambush on the street ahead. They tied a wire next to a car - don't trip over it. Keep to the right side of the street and you'll pass unharmed.

tired anvil
#

I meant what Crimson said

#

So nah, not glad

pseudo rivet
#

Bruh Moment

sturdy jolt
#

Then be glad.

pseudo rivet
#

If they are referring to Red's guys, then that means that Red is their leader

sturdy jolt
#

Uhhh guys, my game worked just fine last night and today it won't launch past the launcher? (anomaly)
@glacial quartz this conversation should be in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications and I'll die on that hill.

pseudo rivet
#

And guess who the leader is?

#

The guy with the Exoskeleton and the RP-74

sturdy jolt
#

One of the guys in the ambush. Not the squad further.

#

And tank is not always the leader. Strider's squad is a perfect example.

pseudo rivet
#

What squad further?

sturdy jolt
#

Man. Red's guys are from an ambush near the second smart terrain.

#

The ones you encounter later (including the one with RP-74) are from the third one.

pseudo rivet
#

That's what I said

#

O

sturdy jolt
#

If they're referring to Red's squad, that means that one of the ambush bandits should be Red. And even that is not certain since he might no be there, that might just be his people.

tired anvil

Vanilla lads sorting things out is interesting

@tired anvil ever been to C-Con? A whole separate vanilla channel with bans for mod mentions. My paradise.

Everywhere else the convos get derailed by people asking help with anomaly.

You mean where Maxine is admin?

Yeah, stalkervoir.

tired anvil
#

Yeah been there, though never discussed much

That's where the boar map came from. A guy asked me how do these things worked, I explained it to him and made a map.

@dense phoenix still want that faction change?

#

can someone help me with a stalker SoC mod issue , if so dm me

lucid elm
#

I have telepathically linked one of the devs lurking thoughts on the question as they glanced at it, and you switch protagonists depending how far in the game you are

tired anvil
#

This ain't GTA

hazy raven
#

By the way, there is mutant playlable addon in COC.

#

But I wonder who will be protagonist of Stalker 2. In original Stalker 2, it was supposed to be some guy, forgot his name ,who was supposed to kill Strelok? Then it was supposed to be Strelok himself. I wonder who it will be now or if completely different character.

#

I wouldn´t even mind possibility of creating our one, like COC does that.

pseudo rivet
#

I'm hoping for a new character

hazy raven
#

Though instead of choosing our own faction, we would start as Loners and could choose our faction later or our relationships with them.

tired anvil
#

But I wonder who will be protagonist of Stalker 2. In original Stalker 2, it was supposed to be some guy, forgot his name ,who was supposed to kill Strelok?
He got blamed for killing Strelok

#

But he didn't

hazy raven
#

I hope that they will do factions like in COP, which means that we will be able to choose who we want to help and who not and not like in SOC, where majority of relationships is preset.

tired anvil
#

You mean CS faction wars?

hazy raven
#

Ah, blamed for killing Strelok. So originally Strelok was supposed to be dead? 🤔

tired anvil
#

Yes

pseudo rivet
#

I hope that they will do factions like in COP, which means that we will be able to choose who we want to help and who not and not like in SOC, where majority of relationships is preset.

You don't join them, though

hazy raven
#

Nah, side quests at COP. Where you can usually choose which factions to help.

tired anvil
#

You pay him a visit, you leave his office and he explodes

pseudo rivet
#

That's just befriending them

tired anvil
#

Then you get blamed for ending Strelok because you were the last one to see him

pseudo rivet
#

It B wat it B

tired anvil
#

So someone puts a bounty on you and you run for the story of the game

#

Quite meh

pseudo rivet
hazy raven
#

Having everybody hate us would suck.

#

The Witcher 2 did similar thing (protagonist was blamed for murdering a king), but there isn´t openworld, nor faction system.

tired anvil
#

Don't forget the possibility of a new faction

#

That can always spice things up

#

Or be a half baked idea and flop lmao

hazy raven
#

At least at ending of COP new faction is formed of the former Monolithians, if you bring them from Jupiter to Pripyat.

tired anvil
#

Genuinely curious what would the motives of a new faction/factions be

hazy raven
#

So they could take appearance in Stalker 2.

tired anvil
#

Well

#

Strider and his group

hazy raven
#

Yep.

tired anvil
#

I imagined them to become a faction as well

#

But they were only said to be a group, not a faction

#

So for all we know they could've just died before properly forming one

pseudo rivet
#

Honestly, I can't wait to see the faction models

tired anvil
#

I would like to see the faction patches in 4k

pseudo rivet
#

If Duty doesn't use Steel Helmets, I'mma be mad

#

No i don't want patches,Where are the base Anomaly versions

pseudo rivet
#

O

#

You don't need CoC for Anomaly

finite dragon
#

Can someone help me out,I don't understand any thing

#

Where is the Download,I don't want the patches and the updates.

hazy raven
#

Anomaly is standalone mod indeed.

woven jungle
#

@finite dragon bro anomaly is standalone you have to download all parts then updates and hotfix. Otherwise without updates and stuff you'll be playing a previous buggy version of the game. That's not optional, you have to download them in order to play.

#

I don't know why you would need the "base" version without updates lol

finite dragon
#

This mod is garbage. Call of Chernobyl is way better.

gusty trench
#

🤔

#

I also had troubles in downloading, but find a way out

woven jungle
#

@finite dragon anomaly is literally call of chernobyl with a lot more stuff

#

call of chernobyl is only a "base" for a lot of big modifications

#

it can't be better than anomaly lol

gusty trench
finite dragon
#

No,No more anomaly.

gusty trench
#

Unpack all the files and drop in one folder feels_bad_stalk

finite dragon
#

I ain't downloading this Mod.

woven jungle
#

whatever lol

hazy raven
#

Well, some people are too lazy to install the mod properly as I see... 🤦‍♂️

#

Though it´s annoying indeed.

#

OGSE has same issue.

woven jungle
#

there's a torrent version too if i remember correctly

hazy raven
#

Though about Anomaly, I have noticed one thing - its launcher also has updater in itself. Could be patches downloaded that way? 🤔

#

As it checks all .db files in mod and should update them, but idk how it works.

woven jungle
#

all main parts via torrent and then download updates via moddb

#

btw is not that complicated lol

finite dragon
#

@hazy raven Alright Kiddo,I ain't waiting 21 hours to download a mod.

hazy raven
#

Still annoying though.

finite dragon
#

Currently my Internet is fucked up

hazy raven
#

I see...

woven jungle
#

torrent file for parts 1-3

hazy raven
#

Though then there is another problem - when a mod has unfinished update, which breaks it somehow and you download the update, thinking how it´s better than previous version (COC and OGSR update for OGSE).

finite dragon
#

I like COC for it's simplicity.

hazy raven
#

I like more story mods though than just sandbox ones. As I´ll eventually find COC boring.

woven jungle
#

yep

hazy raven
#

Also story mods work more with the mystery of the zone.

woven jungle
#

anomaly has a wonderful story mode

hazy raven
#

Yep, Lost to the zone trilogy addon + randomly generated one.

#

COC since version 1.4 has storymode too, but just copypated one from SOC.

#

It can get weird if you play through it as Ecologist though (Military being suddenly hostile to you in X18 labs).

woven jungle
#

you can download Lost to the zone and dx questlines in CoC as addons

hazy raven
#

I think I tried once, but didn´t managed to run it. Or did I?

#

But I´d prefer Anomaly which has it all implemented for me and runs on X64 engine.

woven jungle
#

but then is way better to play them already added to the mod (anomaly)

hazy raven
#

So it has more RAM to work with.

woven jungle
#

oh ofc

#

another thing that makes anomaly waaaaaaaay waaay better than coc and other standalone sandboxes based on coc is the 64-bit engine

hazy raven
#

I wonder if Grass on max details would cause stuttering on X64 engine. Won´t going to try that though, as I want to see items and corpses on ground.

#

I only wonder if dynamic relationships in Anomaly can break story mode. 🤔

finite dragon
#

Still waiting for the Official COC 1.5 Version.

#

Still waiting......

hazy raven
#

It won´t never come probably, as team disbanded mid development of it.

woven jungle
#

yeah

hazy raven
#

It´s interesting though how they went much far beyond the original concept and then suddenly disbanded. Though I have read that the reason was due X64 engine.

finite dragon
#

I don't want to be mean,But they keep posting Addons.

#

Which are useless.

woven jungle
#

people is posting addons

hazy raven
#

Everybody can post them.

woven jungle
#

i can create an addon for a 2008 mod too lol

hazy raven
#

I don´t know if some addons are made by COC team, but mostly other modders post them there, as that´s one of the original concepts of the mod. Make it as platform for modders.

woven jungle
#

some addons are marked as "official"

#

if i remember correctly

grand pendant
#

Still waiting for the Official COC 1.5 Version.
Epic Team is rip

hazy raven
#

Also Anomaly has addon support too. (Doesn´t support COC ones though).

finite dragon
#

Rest in piece Call of Chernobyl.

woven jungle
#

I wonder if Grass on max details would cause stuttering on X64 engine. Won´t going to try that though, as I want to see items and corpses on ground.
@hazy raven
I play on all settings on max except grass ones which i keep default otherwhise fps would go from normal 70-80 to 20 lol

hazy raven
#

I really wonder why they did overdo the grass. I hope that Stalker 2 won´t have this issue.

finite dragon
#

I really hope someone keeps Call of Chernobyl out there,There must be a follower that stood.

woven jungle
#

on default grass settings you still have some great grass and landscape

hazy raven
#

Isn´t Anomaly and Dead Air sort of follower?

woven jungle
#

yeah lol

hazy raven
#

Dead Air with Mysery and Anomaly as expanded COC?

woven jungle
#

@finite dragon if you don't like anomaly (idk why) at least try dead air or one of these

#

pretty much more complete and challenging

finite dragon
#

Dead Air,Anomaly are garbage. Misery is that i like.

grand pendant
#

I mean, CoC is basically a maps pack to mod, not interesting at all. DA, CoM, Anomaly, etc are following its legacy

woven jungle
#

Anomaly is based on misery too 🙂

#

difficulty level is misery

hazy raven
#

I have read. What are then differences between Dead Air and Anomaly in terms of Misery implementation? 🤔

woven jungle
#

idk

#

never played dead air

grand pendant
#

difficulty level is misery
Not at all kek, Anomaly is way easier than Misery, no matter what settings you choose. Since you can get end game level gear in the Cordon or Garbage

woven jungle
#

No you can't lol

#

you can buy from traders if you have money and high rep

grand pendant
#

Both are easy mods anyway, but Misery keeps the good stuff for later

woven jungle
#

but you have to play a lot

grand pendant
#

Not quite, i played for 2-3 hours and got a nosorog GWseremePeepoThink

woven jungle
#

there's a Stash Overhaul addon that makes end game gear available in stashes in early game but is immersion breaking

#

default stash/corpse looting doesn't reward you with end game gear

grand pendant
#

Didn't use that really, just got it from a dead monolith guy

finite dragon
#

Really hope There is something made out of COC

grand pendant
#

Found some repair kit and got it 80%

finite dragon
#

It's been a while.

grand pendant
#

CoC is dead already, honestly. Better to leave it like that by now

finite dragon
#

I can't.

grand pendant
#

Try Hybrid, pretty cool mod

finite dragon
#

It's a part of me.

woven jungle
#

@grand pendant mmmm ok that makes sense. In this case i'd try to play more realistically

#

i'd never repair a monolith nosorog from a corpse

hazy raven
#

Hybrid? What is that? 🤔

woven jungle
#

you can do that, but is unrealistical. I just try to go progressive with gear and weapons

grand pendant
#

CoC/Misery based with a lot of other addons for CS

finite dragon
#

Though it's better to download COC.I don't want to wait 21 hours for Anomaly.

woven jungle
#

@finite dragon try torrent lol

grand pendant
#

you can do that, but is unrealistical. I just try to go progressive with gear and weapons
@woven jungle indeed, that is why Anomaly is easier than Misery

finite dragon
#

It's the same.

grand pendant
#

Didn't you already play it though?

tired anvil
#

He couldn't find the download for Anomaly

#

When he did he started

#

Then cancelled

#

So he didn't play it

grand pendant
#

Then why did you say to not recommend it? It is a nice mod, honestly. I just don't like it, but you should try it

woven jungle
#

He doesn't know how to download it so he decided that CoC is better lol

finite dragon
#

It's too hard for my under 100 iq brain

tired anvil
#

He doesn't know how to download it so he decided that CoC is better lol
Basically what happened

grand pendant
#

You said you liked Misery, Anomaly is basically Misery + CoC. Can't be that hard

pseudo rivet
#

I wonder what CoM is, then

grand pendant
#

If it is about download, i can get you a repack in 1 link

finite dragon
#

COC is better.Anomaly and Dead air are garbage.

grand pendant
#

CoM is too CoC + Misery but more faithful to Misery

#

COC is better.Anomaly and Dead air are garbage.
You didn't even play them Sure_I_am

COC is better.Anomaly and Dead air are garbage.

Misery is easy 😏

#

And Anomaly too

woven jungle
#

taz is going to be in anomaly next update

Dead Air just sucks

TAZ 2.0b works just fine, older versions are wack. Anomaly port should be aight

finite dragon

Next updated Dead Air is gonna be fun?

woven jungle

btw i don't know what does TAZ add

grand pendant
#

Lots of weapons

woven jungle
#

weapons? animations?

grand pendant
#

Ammo and magazines

#

Attatchments as well

#

Pretty ambitious project, it has so many models that quality is pretty low for some weapons

#

Censoring isn't allowed either btw

woven jungle
#

quality pretty low for some weapons

bad

#

i prefer less but well made weapons with good animations

Gunslinger for Anomaly :ahegao:

#

2.0b has over 700 weapons. So you can forget balance, some weapons you won't even use

finite dragon
#

i prefer more and realistic weapons

grand pendant
#

Meh, it is still worth it. The good stuff is pretty nice, such as PTRS1 anti tank rifle. Vintar variety as well, m1911's, etc

also 3d scopes with 3d lenses

In which game?

timber flame
#

SoC

tired anvil
hazy raven
#

If you think that they are scary there, then wait for COP...

tired anvil
#

Wait till you play CS

timber flame
#

I didn't know they turn invisble...

#

what so worse in CS and COP?

hazy raven
#

In COP they are 100% invisible - you can´t see them. But you can hurt them when they are invisible, unlike SOC.

timber flame
#

oh lord

#

as in, cant see them WHATSOEVER?

tired anvil
#

CS is generally considered the hardest game, so that will be fun for you

hazy raven
#

Also, in COP they have grab attack, which they can trigger either by charging on you or by attacking you from behind, which makes them drain your blood which heals them and damages you. So good luck fighting one with just a pistol.

tired anvil
#

Nah you can see them in CoP

#

CoP has some other fun mutants though

hazy raven
#

Burers...

tired anvil
#

Spooky Burer man as I call him

#

Yep

timber flame

noooooooooooooooooo I dont like where this is going

hazy raven
#

And Chimera.

teal osprey
#

In which game?
@hazy raven agroprom underground?

timber flame
#

yes

hazy raven
#

It basically restored some mutants from COP. But it dumbs down controller - no mental health and mostly no distortion effect on being hit by one or standing near him.

tired anvil
#

Ah man he probably hasn't encountered a Pseudogiant yet either

#

WHATS PSEUDOGIANT!?

tired anvil
#

You will find out

#

No Poltergeist either

Poltergeists are more cheaters though. (Attacking player through walls).

tired anvil
#

Shhh

#

Don't spoil

pseudo rivet
#

Not really

#

It's a matter of L2P

tired anvil
#

They do more than “attacking through walls”

hazy raven
#

I have almost forgot about mod Gunslighter, which seems to add more animations into COP. I wonder if anybody tried to implement it into COC/Anomaly. 🤔

Most Annoying faction in Stalker ?

#

I agree.

pseudo rivet

#

Best Faction ?

tired anvil
#

You don't learn do you

pseudo rivet
#

There's no real best faction

#

All of them do something bad

hazy raven
#

Most annoying? 🤔

#

Monolithians - there is too much of them at ending of SOC.

#

The best? Probably ecologists, who try to research the zone and find if it´s useful for humanity? Only problem is that they work for government and we know how governments like to abuse all these things. I wonder if Ecologists would split into their own faction if they would find out that government wants just abuse the zone. 🤔

finite dragon
#

@hazy raven Monolith have more men than bullet's.

You kill 10,Another 100 pop out.

Yep. The true ending part is complete BS.

#

And tons of wasted potential.

finite dragon
#

Sincerely the best ending is Strelok killing the C-C.

hazy raven
#

And canon one.

woven jungle
#

best faction is Mercenary

hazy raven
#

Though I like how none of these true endings are shown as perfect.

woven jungle
#

autolike 4 me

hazy raven
#

Because if we ||join C-Con, nothing really changes for better. But if we destroy them, Strelok isn´t sure if he did right thing.||

#

||Also destroy C-con ending is only one where Strelok speaks.||

pseudo rivet
#

Best ending for SoC is Strelok dying

hazy raven
#

You mean achieving the main "goal" of the game? smile_strelok

finite dragon
#

Strelok did what he did.If C-Con lived,The world would have been controlled .

pseudo rivet
#

Uh

#

Wat

finite dragon
#

C-Con controls the NovaSphere.

hazy raven
#

And now it will be absorbed by zone instead. Good work.

pseudo rivet
#

No

#

Lmao

hazy raven
#

And C-Con don´t control it completely. They more messed up with it and it went wrong.

pseudo rivet
#

Destroying the C-Consciousness has made the Zone more unstable than before

#

Just not at the CS point yet

hazy raven
#

And I like how they even aren´t sure themselves what happens if you destroy them. I like how instead saying "Join us or you will die!" they say how they aren´t sure about what happens if you "decide otherwise".

finite dragon
#

I think there was a potential for a third ending

#

Just Leaving.

hazy raven
#

That was original ending.

#

Strelok getting controlled by C-Con after being told truth, then leaving zone and telling some message through radio which would cause destruction outside the perimeter.

#

Weird ending though.

finite dragon
#

I wish that C-Con explained what we're the abominations of the zone.

hazy raven
#

Well, we are a "wheel that fell out of the machine".

finite dragon
#

You can see the human part in the creatures,The Snork was a Soldier,Aiming at how he looks.

hazy raven
#

This isn´t like in Darkwood where people are inprisoned inside and mutated.

#

There stalkers are people going into Zone for money from artifacts.

finite dragon
#

Wait Reginald,I have a theory what if Strelok just died when he entered the Facility.

pseudo rivet
#

Actually

hazy raven
#

Though I wonder if all mutants were created by experiments in labs or by zone from humans or if some of them were just nightmares going real.

finite dragon
#

I mean the dude litteraly walked into Reactor 4.

pseudo rivet
#

Some of the mutants were formerly criminals mutated by the Secret Service

hazy raven
#

As the zone was created by C-Con messing with Neosphere. And for example Bloodsuckers more looks like monsters from some Lovercraftian horror than former humans.

pseudo rivet
#

Wait Reginald,I have a theory what if Strelok just died when he entered the Facility.

Then why do we see him in CoP?

finite dragon
#

But what about the Reactor 4,You can't outlive a full blown reactor.

hazy raven
#

You can with right equipment... And tons of food_vodka!

pseudo rivet
#

With the right artifacts, you can

hazy raven
#

There is even quest about it in COP at Pripyat underground, before entering, you need to get right suit so you won´t glow too much.

pseudo rivet
#

Besides, it isn't the first time he went to the CNPP

finite dragon
#

I wanna point out something really,Look at Strelok's face in the Killing the C-Con Ending.

hazy raven
#

And aren´t there even people in real life making visits to CNPP as part of turism?

pseudo rivet
#

Not into the CNPP itself

#

Not to my knowledge, at least

#

Would be wack

finite dragon
#

Btw the Wish Granter is located right next to the blown Reactor.

hazy raven
#

It´s also in irradiated area. Most irradiated.

#

I have found there is a plot hole.

pseudo rivet
#

Luckily not as irradiated as the Garbage

hazy raven
#

We are told by C-con that ||when stalker makes a wish, they take control over him and recruit him as the "agent", but before it could happen, stalker would die glowing while under the influence of illusions of the Wish granter.||

pseudo rivet
#

No

#

Brain Scorcher

hazy raven
#

Garbage and it´s "radiation" walls on edge of maps.

#

But Wish Granter does same thing too. And has same goal. Put illusion so the stalkers won´t find truth.

pseudo rivet
#

Nah

#

He was talking about the Brain Scorcher

hazy raven
#

Then what is the purpose of the Wish granter?

finite dragon
#

A Decoy.

pseudo rivet
#

Decoy

#

To lure Stalkers away from the Group

hazy raven
#

Though the zone dissapearing ending is most creepy.

#

With Strelok becoming blind.

finite dragon
#

The Zone dissapearing ending is...In my Opinion,It alters the time,Resulting in the accident's never happening.Though in that case Strelok and many others would not exist and they purpose on life to be only a normal citizen.

hazy raven
#

Problem only is that all Wishes granted are just ||illusions||.

pseudo rivet
hazy raven
#

But the most weird is the "Humanity must be controlled" wish.

#

Because in 🇷🇺 language it instead says "Humanity must be destroyed."

#

I wonder why they changed it for 🇬🇧 version. ||Because it is what happens. Everything gets destroyed and Strelok gets stuck in the void.||

#

Also one of things I liked how COC implemented Wish Granter.

pseudo rivet
#

Well, it's simple

hazy raven
#

There you can really make zone to dissapear. smile_degtyarev

pseudo rivet
#

He sees the whole world being destroyed

#

As such, he is the only human left

#

Trapped in a void of pitch black darkness

hazy raven
#

And controls the humanity.

pseudo rivet
#

As such, he is under control

finite dragon
#

Actually,I think Joining the Monolith faction isn't actually bad.

pseudo rivet
#

Nice

finite dragon
#

Except for their religious fact,They are quite powerful.

hazy raven
#

Well, you have your brain erased. So you know nothing aside their religion.

pseudo rivet
#

I mean, joining them is going to mess with your head

#

But once you are one, you're doing great work

hazy raven
#

Also you are part of the best stalkers. Who managed to almost get to CNPP. Shame that there is only one stalker which is even better than you...

#

And will eventually take you down on his another way to CNPP.

finite dragon
#

That's why Every Monolith need's to be executed with an AK-74,Strelok Style.

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

Actually for the COC run,I'm gonna go Loner.

pseudo rivet
hazy raven
#

I´m going to go Ecologist. Because they are neutral with majority of factions.

finite dragon
#

In COC,If you choose the Immortality ending,It turns you into a zombified,But you seem to be the most intelligent.

hazy raven
#

Also amusing fact if you enable warfare in anomaly and all-out-war - Ecologists rebel against Military. smile_degtyarev

#

Yep. You can also start as zombified stalker by pressing Z on faction selection screen.

pseudo rivet
#

Sounds wack

hazy raven
#

Though in case of Anomaly, zombies have no story mode and you can´t talk with anybody, I think. And only monolithians are allied to you. Other factions hate you.

#

Also you are the fastest and most accurate zombified stalker. smile_degtyarev

native ibex
#

Whoa, zombie easter egg screen

#

Pretty neat.
I liked the CoC zombie option for immortality.

hazy raven
#

You are immortal, but zombie. So you are hated by almost everybody.

#

I wonder though - are some mutants neutral to zombified stalker player? Or do they stay hostile?

#

Because I think that snorks are neutral towards zombified stalkers.

wary cove
#

they don't seem to attack each other, or at least I haven't seen it yet

finite dragon

Freedom are Furries
Duty are a Military Dictatorship
Monolith are Poor Fanatic Cult followers.
Clear sky are Hawaii people
Mercenary are Mercenaries
Military are gay and corrupt
Ecologist are good boys

wary cove
#

apparently tushkanos (rodents) are neutral to zombies too

native ibex
#

Mercs are chads

hazy raven
#

I remember OGSE makes Controllers neutral to zombies too, but idk about vanilla games. 🤔

#

But I wonder if relationship is also for zombified stalker player or just for AI ones. 🤔

pseudo rivet
#

Not sure what that list is even based on

hazy raven
#

I should play as zombified stalker in warfare mod. smile_degtyarev

#

To check it up.

pseudo rivet
#

I've yet to see a freeplay that actually implements a good Military

wary cove
#

yeah i've never see that in vainilla either
huh good question, we should look at the mod & vanilla files

One thing which I wonder - will meme "Get out of here, stalker!" return in Stalker 2? At least reference to it? 🤔

#

"Too many occlusion queries were called!". It seems that the game is going to crash again soon...

wary cove
#

Wishgranter will say "Get out of here stalker" instead "Come to me"

Got attacked by bandits and zombified stalkers killled them for me. smile_degtyarev

sturdy jolt
grand pendant
#

Hey, what's up man?

hazy raven
#

Did one badly made quest in Winds of time, where you need to go at night to place where bandits attack people. You are promised by stalker giving you the mission that his group will protect you. Turns out that he is connected to the bandits, so nobody saves you. But the quest is a 🇷🇺 roulette, because you go to place, bandits come to you, trigger conversation and after it instantly attack you, which majority of times ended them one-shot me before I could react.
But it ended unexpectedly, when zombified stalkers, who were somehow around (probably people who didn´t hide during Emission/Psi storm?) shot the bandits for me instead.

#

I wonder though - does Anomaly add some interesting quests for factions or other stuff? 🤔

remote plume
#

I remember doing that quest

#

I somehow ran away after conversation and killed them

hazy raven
#

I ran away on third or fourth attempt. On first attempt attacking zombified stalkers broke the conversation.

#

Then I was one shot. And on fourth or fifth attempt I ran away, tried to shoot bandits but before I did, zombified stalkers already done the job.

remote plume

Wind of time is a good mod except some stuff are broken like english translation

Hi.

finite dragon
#

Okay so someone was telling me to get the anomaly mod

#

Is this even legal?

grand pendant
#

Why wouldn't it be legal?

finite dragon
#

Idk its stalker for free?

grand pendant
#

not quite

finite dragon
#

That kinda screws the devs

valid mirage
#

indeed it is legal, and it is really good.

it is more or less call of chernobyl, a mod which combines all he staslker maps into a sandbox.

it has its own full sotry taking place 6 years after the events of call of pripyat.

it has many of the features and difficulty of the misery mod rolled in without the stability problems that would normaly come with that.

and finally it contains a really lovely graphical overhaul.

definitly check it out

grand pendant
#

dw they endorse modding as well, since it's a fork and has nothing to do with the original games either, just the setting

finite dragon
#

Okay im gonna get it

#

Time to actually play a horror game without deleting it after 10 minutes in

grand pendant
#

horror kek, sometimes

finite dragon
#

@finite dragon the horror is in the atmosphere

hazy raven
#

Well, as the standalone mods let you play the game without buying it, even in modded state (idk though when it uses modified X-Ray engine), it´s technically illegal and basically 🏴‍☠️ the game, unless you bought it. But it´s on copyright owner, in this case GSC, if he would pursue anything against it and so far GSC seems to be fine with standalone mods. With torrenting, you are helping to spread it. But as I said again, GSC doesn´t seeem to mind. @finite dragon

finite dragon
#

its the helplessness you feel while playing

#

or the loneliness

#

really its up to you to check out

#

Great

hazy raven
#

And nope, Stalker is still sold on Steam and Gog. And you should buy the game even when you play it with standalone mods, as the games deserve it.

#

And you support GSC.

finite dragon
#

Im gonna walk around and shoot anything that walks in the head with a shotgun

grand pendant
#

So you never played stalker before? Bad idea to go into Anomaly before the games

hazy raven
#

Yep, you should start with games first. SOC, maybe get Zone Reclamation project to fix bugs and add repairing of stuff, though vanilla game is fine when you just play main story. COP is the best in terms of gameplay.

#

And fine on vanilla terms.

#

Also on COP is based COC mod.

valid mirage
#

i have a great best friend. as my first stalker experience years ago he had me buy COP but install misery :D

finite dragon
#

How about CS?

wary cove
#

And nope, Stalker is still sold on Steam and Gog. And you should buy the game even when you play it with standalone mods, as the games deserve it.
Plus there's bundle discounts from time to time, you can get all 3 games for a very low price

grand pendant
#

How about you play them in order? SoC CS CoP smile_strelok

hazy raven
#

That´s known as worst game from the franchise. Also it´s prequel to SOC. But it thrown away its dark atmosphere and is broken everywhere.

tired anvil
#

Known as the worst doesn't make it trash though fyi

hazy raven
#

But I would still recommend to start playing with SOC as the games also changed technically for worse or better.

#

So you can then compare yourself how it evolved.

#

Also CS is known to be hardest of the franchise. And idk if it has tutorial. SOC has tutorial, COP doesn´t.

tired anvil
#

The Swamps is a tutorial

#

And Lebedev guides you through

pseudo rivet
#

CS epic

#

But not as a first game

#

SoC, CS and then CoP

tired anvil
#

2nd

grand pendant
#

CoP epic, but not as a second game, 3rd

tired anvil
#

Whatever you do, just make CoP 3rd

#

Yeah

hazy raven
#

COP is best in terms of gameplay, so keep it for last in order not to be dissapointed later.

pseudo rivet
hazy raven
#

And most polished.

valid mirage
#

definitly start with shadow of chernobyl. it has the most complete and relevant story to your understanding the zone and the people who live in it.

and it plays more as a linear story based game, where as the next two are more open

tired anvil
#

Only possible disappointment after CoP was the cancelled s2

cs isn't the best in terms of bugs, but still you should play it

which mod best then, with gtx 750 ti 2gb, 8gb ram, i5 3570k? which crashes the least ?

valid mirage
#

depends on what your looking for out of a mod

grand pendant
#

crashes has nothing to do with a mod being good or not, for example, Anomaly is pretty stable, but wack

#

You can try OGSE, VoA, Hybrid

toxic ember
#

well, which keeps the atmosphere of the vanilla stalker, has full of quests, i like anomalys feature "disabled minimap"

hazy raven

OGSE adds tons of new quests, but expands vanilla Stalker. Though it´s overhaul.

grand pendant

A lot do, honestly. OGSE is a good example

hazy raven
#

I mean Stalker:SOC.

ok i will do research, thx

so basically some sales go below 40$ for a bundle?

so i will just wait for a sale then get em

Hello everybody

#

Hi.

finite dragon
#

How are you?

finite dragon
#

Spoilers!!!!!!!! I Just finished COP and am a bit confused about the ending of shadow of chernobyl

#

Because the “canon” ending doesnt make much sense when you play call of pripyat

gusty trench
#

Why 🤔

finite dragon
#

Socs ending implies that the destruction of the c-con also destroys the zone

#

But its an easy retcon to say it just made the zone even more unstable

You can leave the fences as they are but make them broken at some points at Cordon, for instance.

#

That's doing an actually good game without rewriting every part of it.

Doing novelties just for the sake of it (i.e. changing a street name) is doing a bag job at making a sequel.

It is, just that it's area-based

They can still create seamless world with different locations. Only that we won´t change areas by loading screen, but walk there directly.

#

Like Morrowind does it.

exotic birch
#

I mean yeah I think most people on this server play Stalker. Just a guess though.

You play stalker or are a stalker?

Or both?

Both

Well i was gonna share the pics of the girl ive been stalking the past years

Welp, you're not the first one

Not the first one to make this joke

Ah finally a man of culture

#

Yeah it boring af, i actually havent sleep in 2 days playing stalker cop

hazy raven

Oof.

Brain scorcher irl

hazy raven

Maybe Stalker games are just psi-emitters pretending to be games? 🤔

Maybe we are zombies and dont know bec we are brainwashed

#

You’re implying it isn’t one single map @sturdy jolt
@still ridge it does not matter. You still can divide it into areas well enough with good level design skill.

pseudo rivet
#

Here's hoping

tired anvil
#

Yeah I don't understand why people are so scared about it being 1 map

exotic birch
#

Yes that is how stalker games work

tired anvil
#

Like, put a fence, that's it

still ridge
#

It’s not areas though

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah I don't understand why people are so scared about it being 1 map

More to render, so it means that they usually become more empty to fight that problem

sturdy jolt
#

Like, put a fence, that's it
@tired anvil yeah. You can make it one map without having to interfere with original games' design.

pseudo rivet
#

That and themes

hybrid seal
#

Maybe there will be female stalkers for once

pseudo rivet
#

Illusions?

hybrid seal
#

The damn patriarchy

exotic birch
#

Females in the zone?

sturdy jolt
#

In CS there is no Rostok area? 🤔
@hazy raven have you played the games at all?

exotic birch
pseudo rivet
hazy raven
#

No CS.

still ridge
#

I can see female ecologists as a possibility

hazy raven
#

But I did play other games.

hybrid seal
#

Is it bad that cs is kinda my fav stalker

pseudo rivet
#

I can see female ecologists as a possibility

There's a story about that and it turns out she's an illusion

hazy raven
#

Female Mercs would make sense. And probably ecologists, as they are scientists hidden in their bunkers usually.

hybrid seal
#

Bruh females dont exist

pseudo rivet
#

Is it bad that cs is kinda my fav stalker

No, I like it as well

tired anvil
#

More to render, so it means that they usually become more empty to fight that problem
Potato PC's shouldn't expect to run the game at all tbh. About empty ehhh, adding a road to connect 2 locations can have some pros, possibly an area for a new character. Example being Strider in the middle of nowhere

wary cove
#

Yeah it boring af, i actually havent sleep in 2 days playing stalker cop
Same

pseudo rivet
#

Fav

hybrid seal
#

But since the zone is very strange i can see women existing there

tired anvil
#

Is it bad that cs is kinda my fav stalker
My favourite

hazy raven
#

Still amusing, how military instead of protecting their ecologists instead shoot stalkers, who are then hired by ecologists for doing the job of the military. 🤦‍♂️

pseudo rivet
#

Meh, I doubt they'll be there

exotic birch
#

Females are traps set by the wishing thing at the end of SOC

pseudo rivet
#

Lore-wise, that B

hazy raven
#

Also women as Controller illusions...

hybrid seal
#

The military are scared of stalkers oof

tired anvil
#

I mean fair enough

sturdy jolt
#

I mean yeah I think most people on this server play Stalker. Just a guess though.
@exotic birch nah they anomawy.

tired anvil
#

Would you want some crazy lad with an AK running at you

pseudo rivet
#

I mean, if there are rumors of a man who took a Scarlet Flower outside the Zone and got a harem of hundreds of girls, I doubt they'd want to go into the Zone

exotic birch
#

That’s because stalkers sit down a mile away with a sniper rifle and pick them off in a choke point. smile_strelok

tired anvil
#

They would if there's more Scarlet Flowers

hazy raven
#

I don´t know if it´s OGSE or vanilla explanation, but soldiers see Stalkers as a threat, because they sell artifacts to traders who then can get them out of the zone and thus probably spread the zone´s problems outside of the perimeter.

pseudo rivet
#

I mean, these rumors are spread in the Zone, so you can bet that it spreads in the Big Land

tired anvil
#

If they make it out alive to spread them

pseudo rivet
#

How else would they know about it?

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tired anvil
#

PDA texting smile_degtyarev

#

But yeah

pseudo rivet

I mean, this guy literally has a harem of hundreds of brainwashed girls

I want a firefly so i can kill myself over and over

Who wouldn't notice?

He’s got a point though. Poor translations are funnier

Personally I hope to see the moon runes as dialogue that you get when an installer breaks or smth

H*ck

Anomalies of the zone...

Dang

Yeah the devs got in trouble for the official server having profanity iirc

Get a Veles instead

still ridge

If anything the stuff that doesn’t render well will be unseen since it’s so far away

hybrid seal
#

But then i cant traverse the anomalies safely

exotic birch
#

Depends on the LOD

pseudo rivet
#

But then i cant traverse the anomalies safely

L2P issue

hazy raven
#

Or they can solve it by Oblivion way - turn everything too away into 2d sprites.

pseudo rivet
#

Bolts, my friend

exotic birch
#

I’m sure the devs will make it work.

tired anvil
#

I feel like the people most scared about open world are also the people who haven't upgraded since 2007

hazy raven
#

Which will then keep turning after you. smile_strelok

still ridge
#

Thinking of playing vanilla cop again

tired anvil
#

Go for vanilla CS

pseudo rivet
#

Nice

hazy raven
#

But I already found rendering distance in SOC and COP fine.

still ridge
#

Missing that vanilla feeling

tired anvil
#

Scar needs more love

still ridge
#

Been playing only modded for a while

Nothing pleases me more than letting an NPC take the lead when you know anomalies are ahead of you.

pseudo rivet
hazy raven
#

With Starforce included for super nostalgia...

#

Though I think that COP retail had Starforce or Tages too.

exotic birch
#

I got all three games but I’ve only played Shadow

still ridge
#

What if I told you I returned CS

tired anvil
#

You mean refunded?

pseudo rivet
#

Yikes

Don't need bolts when you have h u m a n s h i e l d s .

Stalker:Refunded sky.

Cannot confirm nor deny

I remember i got the hunter achievement and went between jupiter and zaton which apparently spawned mutants inside the train station

There’s a lot of game So_Good

Honestly, I just rely on the anomaly detector and my eyesight

tired anvil

I'm sure your Steam account can, what's yer name smile_scar

still ridge
#

So atm I have SoC and CoP

hybrid seal
#

And then there was a controller stuck at the door and i couldnt do stuff

sturdy jolt

But I did play other games.
@hazy raven missed the best part of the series.

tired anvil

Disgusting

Aye

CS Gang

#

All my homies like CS

still ridge

I did play CS though

tired anvil

Did you complete it though

#

Briefly...

tired anvil

🤨

Isn’t CS the best one objectively

CS best

I completed it when I threw my laptop on the ground

@hazy raven that's not supported by lore. Lore says that traders have good relationships with soldiers - it's the way traders ship good out of the Zone. (Suslov says that)

tired anvil
#

Did you seriously

pseudo rivet
#

Meh, a lot would say it's their least favorite

still ridge
#

no lol

pseudo rivet

It's my favorite, though

There's a story about that and it turns out she's an illusion
@pseudo rivet what about Leska?

@sturdy jolt probably corrupts

Well it’s a stretch but I guess you could say I did

exotic birch
#

Orest why do you keep quoting and responding to old messages?

pseudo rivet

Oh, you mean Orest's girl?

Yep, we can bribe the soldiers under the bridge checkpoint at Cordon to let us pass.

Tell the story Edillon

Never made it in the Zone and got arrested by the UN

I was told not to buy the other STALKER games because Shadow of Chernobyl is pretty much going to be the only one I like and I'll find a lot to be desired with the installments after it.

So some of them are corrupt.

Mfw SoC is my least favourite

@rain stone COP at least is worth it.

tired anvil

Yeah nah other two are also great

Bro buy them all. It cost like $10 for all of them.

pseudo rivet
#

They're all great

#

So yeah

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tired anvil

A fan will tell you to buy all three
A non-fan will tell you to buy just SoC because they didn't care to play stalker after SoC
