So are you going to answer?
finite dragon
yes
Life of boris doesn't trust's Sidirovich because he gave him Rubber bullets
however I dunno if even a gun would fire a rubber bullet
anyway that's what I ment
however I dunno if even a gun would fire a rubber bullet
Life of boris doesn't trust's Sidirovich because he gave him Rubber bullets
this one is the reason
finite dragon
true but not for real guns
I still remember the days when I roleplayed as friendly bandit in Whispers of the zone
Basically roblox stalker rp
which was like... 2 years ago
ye 2 years

It seems like gear degrades much faster than weapons in Anomoly

YES REALLY!!

Can't trade it if you never completed it

yes

wonder if Stalker 2 will have a radio or music system
would be nice to wander the zone listening to "Na Zare"
hazy raven
While some mutant would be murdering us...

Guys would it have been possible for the devs to have borrowed the 4A engine for their new game? Or is the conflict is still there between the former people?
tired anvil
Why would they use the 4A engine
silk viper
I wish there was a way to increase the number of npcs out and about in Anomoly
Miss the groups of stalkers walking around, sitting at fires, etc
hazy raven
Why would they have to use some custom made 4A engine, when they can either make their own too (and 4A seems to be based on X-Ray one anyway) or use an external engine, which is what they already do? (Unreal Engine 4). 🤦♂️
And I don´t remember seeing 4A allowing anybody else to use their engine.
@silk viper What about population settings in options?
silk viper
I think you can only change it if you play warfare mode because thats what its under isnt it?
hazy raven
Population settings are even in vanilla COC, which is without Warfare addon.
So it isn´t dependent on it.
hazy raven
Np.
finite dragon
I have simple request for stalker 2
tired anvil
Welp
silk viper
What is online exclusion radius?
tired anvil
Guess your simple request got denied by the bot
For “spam”
And the swear words
Since that isn't allowed here, good try though trashmammal22
native ibex
Could they use the Source engine instead?
silk viper
2 cheeki 4 breeki
native ibex
In fact, make STALKER 2 in Gmod
silk viper

still ridge
lol S2 source

||Console players gets the gmod version||
languid harbor
the gmod version would run at 15 fps
finite dragon
yes
Life of boris doesn't trust's Sidirovich because he gave him Rubber bullets
however I dunno if even a gun would fire a rubber bullet
anyway that's what I ment
@finite dragon rubber bullets exist, they're used to clean massive areas of protestors without harming them like in BLM or Lebanon they were used before in other places but they prefer using gas and water because those bullets can inflict serious harm i think the bullets are still propelled by gunpowder and a chamber.
(also please don't question my profile picture)
but yes real guns can fire rubber bullets and they're stronger than you think
Rubber bullets can kill, blind or maim people for life, but authorities continue to use them. ... A study published in 2017 in medical journal The BMJ found that 3% of people hit by rubber bullets died of the injury.
also sorry for the wall mods :o
mystic stream
hopefully they have a song called "ya soldat" (or ja soldat) in stalker 2.
finite dragon
it indeed is
soft shadow
I think you can add songs to the ingame radio by changing it into a .ogg file
then adding it somewhere
winter comet
gusty trench
Depends on atmosphere of the game, but yeah, I like this song too.
finite dragon
i don't think heavy metal would really fit the game tbh
gusty trench
I found out that fighting songs from Stalker series aren't great. I like only Fighting Unknown.
halcyon talon
CYTOTOXIN
yes, epic band. Also, where can one find the STALKER soundtracks? I really love the ambient music of the games
gusty trench
That was epic experience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccTqH6639JA
halcyon talon
perhaps its been a long time, but i dont remember that song in the game?
gusty trench
It's unused
halcyon talon
Oh nice im level 1
gusty trench
But based on music in the bar
halcyon talon
O, i see
gusty trench
I like it so much, so I added it into the meme

Okay so guys zombies walk slowly and in a dumb way right?
I realised that it is a horrible idea to throw a grenade at them because they run as fast as usain bolt when they detect it
Why cant zombies just be slow and walk away from the grenade like a zombie would bruh

just started another runthrough of COC
raided the military base in the swamp and the bandit camp
got pretty lucky with the lot drops
hazy raven
Encountered two groups of bandits fighting between themselves and horde of blind dogs and fleshes or whatever that mutant type is named. Tried to help them against mutants, survived myself, bud majority of bandits, aside one, ended dead. Which meant tons of loot for me. One thing which I miss now in all Stalker games is no custom marks on map. 😦 Because I would like to return to the place of the great loot later.
And I like how Fleshes sometimes instead of attacking player just run away from him.
hazy raven
Visited zombified stalkers at Sawmill and they are teaming with pseudodogs.
finite dragon
@tribal mango SOC
hazy raven
Found two boars eating two pseudodogs. So mutants in COP are also fighting against each other. Didn´t let them finish the meal though.
finite dragon
@hazy raven i think every creature in the zone is controlled by the zone so it eould make sense for pseudodogs to fight with zombies
hazy raven
Zombified stalkers were though also controller by ||C-con||.
finite dragon
Also as i noticed on my way to the barkeep i realised that the pseudodogs are cannibalistic
They eat anything including other dead pseudodogs
hazy raven
Shame is that COP dumbed down PDA. Because SOC describes all mutants which you encounter in Encyclopedia tab. 😦 But I had boars eating pseudodogs though, not pseudodog eating another one. 🤔
hazy raven
Yep.
finite dragon
The zone is harsh one gotta stay alive
hazy raven
I wonder though if mutants search for food as part of the Smart territory mission or if they have their own hunger meter. Like player does. 🤔
finite dragon
Probably smart territory
hazy raven
Was inside a bloodsucker lair full of sleeping bloodsuckers. Game: Emission incoming! Stay in cover!
finite dragon
Pull out your bulldozer 6. Give em hell
modern glen
The same thing happened to me during that mission but the emission started right when i got out of the lair into the tunnel
hazy raven
Nah, in Zaton, in COP. You´ll find it out during one of the quests.
modern glen
Yeah
finite dragon
Yantar is scary
sweet karma
how
hazy raven
Also unlike other areas, it is lifeless, aside of mutants and zombified stalkers.
sweet karma
tbh id hang out in yantar irl
hazy raven
With zombies there? 
sweet karma
just give me a beer and a chair
hazy raven
What about a vodka instead?
sweet karma
maybe some ciggs
vodka is good but i like beer more when chilling
maybe some good snack too
native ibex
Anomaly taught me that cigarettes and cigars are great at removing radiation
Must be fantastic for cancer prevention
sweet karma
ciggs wash the cancer out of you with different kind of cancer
finite dragon
The thing is i hate Snorks more than Pseudogiants
Like seriously be vibing then one of those monkeys jump at you giving you an instant heart attack
Plus X-16 is probably the most horrible place i have visited and it is in yantar
tired anvil
There's a really not fun mission in CoP where you help the ecologists place this antenna thingy, and a bunch of them start hauling at you
Bet you're going to absolutely despise that mission
finite dragon
Ran out of ammo before going into the main chamber
tired anvil
Also you visited X-16? Not X-18?
finite dragon
I visited both
native ibex
Snorks are way to hardy for my taste
finite dragon
When i entered the wild territory yesterday i helped an ecologist go to yantar and they are helping me get to X16 to disable the emissions
I already visited X18 and that place is a heaven compared to X16
finite dragon
Correct
finite dragon
Ayy
tired anvil
Here's some little useless lore
This is a concept art of a mutant that was supposed to appear in the original stalker 2
finite dragon
Now im waiting for sakharov to restock slugs because im not going into X16 again without 200 ish slugs also that is scary
native ibex
The tree man wishes to give you a hug
finite dragon
I will hug him
tired anvil
The tree man just shrugging
finite dragon
So it is a better Sirenhead?
tired anvil
Yeah lol
Idk when the idea of Sirenhead was thought up, so he might have been first as well
finite dragon
Yeah im gonna send that thing back to hell if i see it
tired anvil
Nah you won't since it was supposed to be in stalker2
But that got cancelled in 2012
native ibex
Why not STALKER 2 2?
tired anvil
He's only slightly canon because in the dialogues with Kruglov he mentions finding him
finite dragon
Isn't it being developed now?
tired anvil
This is the 2nd stalker 2
The original one was being developed in 2010-2012 but the company shut down
finite dragon
Why not add him lol
tired anvil
So the game got canned
finite dragon
Oof
tired anvil
In short, we've been waiting for 10 years for this 
native ibex
But Gajunas
Why would they not add what might be a very iconic mutant to the upcoming game in this tree man?
tired anvil
Well, implementing him doesn't sound the easiest
I think he got confirmed to not be added sadly
“ As planned, in the game you had to go into the forest, track down the goblin, get close to his dwelling and, before he notices you and lets you sleep, pretend to be asleep. He will come up, take you in his arms and take you to his lair - a blackened, wooden hut. In the den, he will lay you down on a rotted floor, next to several immobilized stalkers - other victims whom he brought here earlier. He will lay out all the victims, including you, in the form of a regular star with their backs down - so that the heads touch and form the center of the star. After that, the hunched over sad monster will get down on all fours, forming an arch with its body over the star of stalkers. His body will begin to crack and change shape - the gaps between the fragments of the tree bark covering the body will begin to diverge and expose vulnerable insides.”
Bit of a long read, but this is basically how you were going to encounter him in the original s2
wary cove
Such a shame 
that sounds awesome
native ibex
They ought to add it anyways
native ibex
Also, I'd think pretending to be asleep would still result in it trying to keep you asleep, so, you're screwed
finite dragon
That is like trying to close an already closed door lol
wary cove
The most we've interacted with mutants was in the ||controller in the cave|| mission
native ibex
I read there was an intelligent fracture/izlom
tired anvil
Also, I'd think pretending to be asleep would still result in it trying to keep you asleep, so, you're screwed
Well, it would place you in his start thing
And as it got ready to eat you, you would have killed him I guess
Here's the full thing if you're interested
native ibex
Satanic mutant
A little too mystical even for STALKER, really.
Might as well have been baba yaga in the zone
tired anvil
Nah, he seems to just like chilling on the fence
Wouldn't that be fun, the fence starting to attack you
finite dragon
We need a mutant that hangs on the roofs of houses and jumps on you
finite dragon
With really long nails that keep it latched to the roof next to the door
So basically it is a worse Payday2 cloaker?
tired anvil
Wait heck
I meant Controller
Thing would basically climb up a wall where you couldn't shoot him
And controller zombified stalkers or mutants to attack you
“Early version of the Controller: An initial concept of the Controller. They were supposed to climb to reach positions inaccessible to the player and use zombies controlled by them to attack stalkers. Or threw them off roofs to kill people.”
finite dragon
Yeah a mutant that stays latched to a roof next to a door and jumps on you which kills in a couple slashes
How about a mutant that is airborne tho
There are so many cool concepts for scary stuff variation is cool
But gsc will have a hard time designing the models and animating them lol
native ibex
I think they should just make Chimeras the super predator.
Climbs buildings, hides in places waiting for the player to walk past them.
Ambush predator
tired anvil
I mean
native ibex
Mutants just need more of a schtick.
Too many if them run at you mindlessly
finite dragon
How about an extremely nimble mutant? Like one that runs twice as fast as a player and has very powerful attacks yet very low hp and they only hide in bushes and advance when you are not looking and makes a loud screaming sound when it approaches you
tired anvil
Chimera runs fast and launches at you
Let us know when you encounter one for your first time
finite dragon
Twice as fast as a player tho?
tired anvil
Tbh I don't recall how fast, but thing can leap far
native ibex
I kind of want a chimera that speaks.
Like a story chimera that taunts you and stalks you through a maze of sorts.
tired anvil
Yeah nah I don't think that would work lol
finite dragon
or a chimera that imitates dead stalker voices this is an scp concept
Like "help over here. Please" etc
tired anvil
You already got a Controller that speaks 
native ibex
I think that concept is older than SCP
finite dragon
There is an scp made of blood that does this lol
native ibex
Yeah, but controllers are dorks that just want to play peekaboo
tired anvil
That speaking one had a fren
He even tells you to shoo
But noo, everyone has to kill him :(
finite dragon
How about a mutant that can control it is surroundings
native ibex
Pretty sure he starts walking towards the entrance as soon as the warning clip plays
finite dragon
Like push spikes from the ground spawn temporary anomalies around you
native ibex
He's only pretending to be fair
tired anvil
How about a mutant that can control it is surroundings
Poltergeist
finite dragon
How about a better poltergeist tho
native ibex
There could be a mutant that collects artifacts like birds collect shiny things.
Unique, one-of-a-kind.
You get a few nice mediocre artifacts from its lair as part of a side quest.
tired anvil
Just improve the poltergeist
finite dragon
Or a mutant that can shapeshift to other stalkers
finite dragon
Bruh
tired anvil
Twin mutant
native ibex
Or so you think
native ibex
You don't really think Hawaiian is human, do you?
finite dragon
Mutant that ties you down and force feeds you pineapple pizza. The scariest concept of them all
Who is hawaiian?
tired anvil
You don't really think Hawaiian is human, do you?
Certainly now the EN one
native ibex
I see the malicious intent in his eyes when he says "Aloooooooha!"
tired anvil
Who is hawaiian?
Trader in CoP
In the RU/UA version he simply says “Aloha”
He's mentally disabled in the EN one
native ibex
Alokha*
tired anvil
AlooooooooOoOOoo0o0Ooo0oooOOOO0oha
finite dragon
Where is strelok btw
finite dragon
GOD
finite dragon
I have been running all over chernobyl to find one guy
tired anvil
He's a pretty tough cookie
finite dragon
Inb4 he is already dead
tired anvil
Moonglum no spoilers
native ibex
Strelok is the best balding character
tired anvil
He has the Sergiy cut
native ibex
Strelok is his self insert
finite dragon
I will probably hug strelok when i find him because i have no idea why i want to kill him
tired anvil
I mean sure why not
finite dragon
Drink vodka with the homie and laugh while killing zombies
native ibex
Is he still in SoC?
I mean, I don't do vanilla, but rapidos, man
finite dragon
Alright i will try to push into X16 again

finite dragon
From yantar then up to army warehouse down to sidor
I heard there is a pseudogiant in wild territory
Is it in SOC? Or COP?
wary cove
Must be SoC
That map isn't in CoP
finite dragon
Great it is night
wary cove
There's a pseudogiant in CS too
finite dragon
I hate speaking of something i don't want to see then i end up seeing it
Time to revert to quicksave 
tired anvil
Well, we spoke a lot about the Chimera and I can tell you that if you do the quests in CoP, you will see it more than once
finite dragon
First time i died by a giant now a bloodsucker
I didnt expect the wild territory to be this wild
tired anvil
Are there any locations on the map that you haven't been to yet?
Asides the NPP and Pripyat
finite dragon
I have been everywhere below army warehouse
sweet karma
oh you are gonna love the red forest
finite dragon
There are snorks too
Im sitting at a high destroyed house and i think there i every sort of mutant here
Won't be surprised if i see a controller
sweet karma
there is stuff far worse than snorks in red forest
modern glen
Yep
finite dragon
The bloodsucker ran after i shot it
Time to keep Anti-Heart Attack Pills next to me lol
tired anvil
I might be wrong, but I think if a Bloodsucker is invisible in CS, it's also invincible
finite dragon
WHY
tired anvil
To make it more fun 
finite dragon
Wait
I didn't know slugs shot one pellet i thought it was multiple sprayed ones lol
tired anvil
So did you always reload after shooting once?
finite dragon
I always do
tired anvil
Fair enough
native ibex
Tactical reload
noble mica
How does Bloodsucker suck my blood through my full armor exo suit?
His fangs (?) are pretty strong.
lyric forge
Whenever bloodsuckers grab me and make that weird slurping noise it reminds me of spaghetti
noble mica
If his fangs are that strong then he has no problem to break a human skull, right?
tired anvil
If his fangs are that strong then he has no problem to break a human skull, right?
He's buff, most likely
still ridge
@tired anvil can you post the promotional art with the bloodsucker face behind the stalker?
That has an up close view of the suckers and “teeth”
still ridge
Yeah on the side of the outermost tentacles towards the top jaw there’s some pretty big fangs
Not to mention on the upper jaw it has legit shark teeth
Also those Hinds have S-8 rockets and shturm ATGMs
For when you need to penetrate the 600mm steel plates pseudogiants possess
I just noticed the body of water under the CNPP
With what looks like steam coming off of it
I wish there was more content to analyze
native ibex
Me too
wary cove
I just noticed they have a human-like nose huh
finite dragon
What if there is a mutant that makes stalkers hallucinate like
See things that don't exist spawn multiple ones of its self and attack the player
wary cove
Psydogs
native ibex
Haven't they always had a human nose
I never really take a close look at them, though.
I don't like their jumpscares
Anyways, more HD zone, please
I really hope for a psuedodog redesign
They don't look like their teeth are very good for eating.
Pretty brittle.
sweet karma
@finite dragon that is chernobyl dogs
native ibex
No, the part where you are otherwise occupied and suddenly they've got you
native ibex
That was my first encounter with one
Looking in the inventory in CoP in the building which I didn't know was a bloodsucker den.
Made me jump.
That, and it was sudden.
That's a junpscare to me.
finite dragon
We did it bois we got the X-16 Documents.
70 shotgun shells fired and about 700 5.45s lol

Zombies take 2+ shotgun shells to die ikr

You can't
You have to run through the same tunnel the giant came from lol
Now i will have to disable the scorcher and that cutscene was interesting
native ibex
I want to see HD psuedogiant so bad.
It does look like a very impractical anatomical design in the originals.
How would it even catch anything moving in such a cumbersome manner?

@kindred sonnet where did you get info that he's related to stalker 2
Because it's a mod
kindred sonnet
what mod is that?
I did not said it is related
tired anvil
The mod is not out yet, it's pretty much called stalker UE4
kindred sonnet
which one is going to be first? real stalker or mod?
wary cove
How would it even catch anything moving in such a cumbersome manner?
In the idle animations it sits down and scratch themselves with their wee tiny hands, it's hilarious. But their legs are long n powerful so likely they use them to catch their prey rather than their arms

viral sandal
i wonder who the people on the covers of all stalker games are
tired anvil
Well on clear sky it's Scar
viral sandal
yeah clear sky made it clear, no pun intended but i wonder who would it be in CoP and SoC
tired anvil
For SoC, depending on your version it's Strelok
Or some random art by a THQ artist
This being the version with the artist
finite dragon
who is the sand guy on the cover anyways
its so unrelated to the game
so why even change it
tired anvil
It was changed, because THQ didn't like the original cover that GSC had ready, so everywhere where THQ published the game, they used the sand dude as the cover because they had some art like it around
finite dragon
nordic in canada or skandinavia?
tired anvil
Scandinavia
finite dragon
oh ok, thanks
hazy raven
So watching the mutant above, Stalker 2 was supposed to be 3D Darkwood? 🤔
And goblin seems to be too generic to me, but anyway creepy and interesting concept. I wonder though if the mutant was supposed to work outside of its scripted mission. 🤔
finite dragon
you know, theres one mutant i hope that it will be in the game
hazy raven
Also above mentioning mutants that making stalkers hallucinating, controllers are able to do it in lore. Shame they never do it to player.
Like make you thinking that you are walking on endless path, while you are going to jump into some pit.
Or make you think that you are sitting near campfire next to your stalker friends, while you are surrounded by zombified stalkers instead.
wary cove
Also above mentioning mutants that making stalkers hallucinating, controllers are able to do it in lore. Shame they never do it to player.
Yeah sadly besides the skull flashing briefly during their attacks, they wont cause allucinations as they were supposed to do
hazy raven
And closest thing to implemented hallucinations are phantoms from the Brain scorcher. Which decrease your mental health on contact or hit.
hazy raven
Phantoms aren´t much threat, unless you play mods like OGSE which expand mental health and attacks to be proper threat.
wary cove
Speaking of controllers I remembered this in game campfire joke
A controller is trying to teach a blind dog to do tricks. Doesn’t really work well. Doggie’s resisting. And nearby zombie’s standing, smirking… says
– neh, might as well quit, doggie’s not learning.
Controller glances at the zombie and says:
- Ah, quiet you. Remember, Stalker, took you a while too before you learned to bring me the slippers.

Oh no... he's back...! Run!

Did that quest ||Where you find out that the doctor at Zaton is a vampire...sort of.|| Then he does suicide after you stop questioning and I remember that some mods break his suicide attempt that he can´t hit his head with his pistol.

Good hunting stalker
south elbow
I killed that vampire guy just before he shot himself, take that buckshot to the face!
hazy raven
So blind dogs are capable to be not hostile (almost). Came near one pack, they growled at me, but didn´t attack when I went away. 🤔
hazy raven
In Call of Pripyat GSC renamed faction Loners into Stalkers probably because they aren´t Loners anymore (as they usually walk in groups) and player is the only member of "Free Stalker" faction, probably in order to be neutral with majority of the game´s factions. 🤔
tired anvil
That, and Free Stalkers were never a true faction tbh
It's more so just groups of neutrals
hazy raven
Are there other Free Stalkers, beside player character? 🤔
finite dragon
Cordon?
tired anvil
Every “Loner” is a Free Stalker
finite dragon
They are scattered all over chernobyl
@tired anvil i got the chad professor's green suit

Yes
Now time to set course through the red forest through those monolith rocc worshippers
We takin the BS down bois
finite dragon
I had my experience with X-16
I speak Tundra and Shotgun Slugs now
With the grenade accent
tired anvil
Yeah but you didn't have a timer with those
tired anvil
Also, you mentioned you were in X-16. Did you find the body of Ghost?
We know you love it
finite dragon
Yep i took his suit
finite dragon
I didn't find fang yet
tired anvil
Fang is a bit more complicated
finite dragon
||is he dead at the brain scorcher?||
tired anvil
||No, there's sort of two or three graves for him, some information also says otherwise so it is a bit complicated on where he actually died||
tired anvil
Fang is dead one way or another
There's a stash in Pripyat where supposedly he was buried
finite dragon
pripyat is right north of the scorcher right?
tired anvil
Should be
finite dragon
time to chill with snorkies
tired anvil
Bet they miss ya

;-;
tired anvil
Now that I think about it, unless I'm misremembering, finding the entrance might be slightly difficult
finite dragon
it's marked on my map
tired anvil
50/50 that it might still be a tad bit difficult to find
hazy raven
Entrance to Pripyat is visible in Brain Scorcher area.
finite dragon
i have a little problem here
hazy raven
You can´t go there instantly though, unless you want to have your 🧠 fried.
finite dragon
so i done my mission in X-16 and basically that should be added to my Diary, right?
well i can't find anything about X-16 in my diary also isn't the game pretty buggy
hazy raven
For me vanilla main story was fine.
finite dragon
sometimes i finish missions and the green target marks are still on the map lol
hazy raven
Other content was broken tough.
For me it happened similarly with killing mutants - either mutants weren´t in the marked area at all or even after killing them I didn´t have quest marked as complete.

The games can be a tad bit buggy, though I don't remember issues with X-16
You think you could've forgotten something?
hazy raven
One hint: When you eventually get to Army Warehouses, don´t accept the quest to kill leader of Freedom. As the quest isn´t possible to complete.
Due quest giver then being instantly killed by a sniper.
hazy raven
On modded version?
hazy raven
Or maybe by killing the sniper before getting the quest. But it´s still broken.
tired anvil
It's supposed to be like that
finite dragon
no i didn't
tired anvil
It's A-Life
hazy raven
Then why the mission doesn´t fail?
tired anvil
Ok yeah in that part it's bugged
finite dragon
also a task to check strelok's stash is still there although i completed it
but i will check it again either ways because doc
finite dragon
no it isn't completed it has 1 of the 3 stages completed
tired anvil
You actually may have possibly missed something then, idk
hazy raven
Forgot if all quests of looking for Strelok are part of one big quest or each quest is separate. 🤔
tired anvil
Minding giving a quick run of what you did in X-16?
Forgot if all quests of looking for Strelok are part of one big quest or each quest is separate. 🤔
To kill Strelok is a separate main quest
hazy raven
I know. Also shown in intro.
finite dragon
i went inside killed a heck ton of zombies and snorks, disabled the Psy-wave emitter then a cutscene happend then i went out encountered a controller killed it, checked Ghost's body then left through the tunnels beneath
tired anvil
Did you talk to Sakharov?
hazy raven
If I remember right (before X16-I´ll mark it as spoiler), when I played SOC and was doing the looking for Strelok quests ||I helped the Guide or Fox or whatever the stalker is named, which you have to save from blind dogs. Then in Agroprom UNderground I found Strelok´s hideout with some documents. Then in X16 I looted Ghost´s corpse for yet more documents or PDA.||
finite dragon
i did that
hazy raven
But I don´t remember all steps.
finite dragon
it goes like this , underground > X-18 > X-16
hazy raven
Also as part of main quest of collecting the documents for Traders.
finite dragon
i got documents from all three yet the underground mission still demands that i find strelok's stash lol
i will go check it again and see what's up
hazy raven
Did you find it in his hideout in Agroprom underground?
finite dragon
yes there was a small USB in his hideout
tired anvil
Strelok's stash or Strelok's group's stash?
tired anvil
Hmm, strange. I can't think of any mistakes you could have done
finite dragon
i will give it another go because i need to speak to the doc
hazy raven
What version of the game are you player? 1.00006? 🤔
tired anvil
Most likely
hazy raven
Because it´s weird... And because I remember reading before that the version was multiplayer patch mostly and that it broke some single player stuff.
That was also supposed to be reason why Steam version used to be 1.00005. 🤔
tired anvil
why are you spamming thinking emojis lol
There's a cooldown and he's thinking
Steam version has been 06 for a while
finite dragon
also there was another task to give Lukash a Bulldog 6, i gave it to him and it counts as completed but the game still has a green marker over him lol
i will just assume those are common bugs as long as they don't disrupt my storyline playing
hazy raven
Not sure about CS, but COP is fine. Most polished.
Though the reason is that it´s also mostly scripted. 🤔
finite dragon
i killed a duty member at army warehouse and now the entirety of duty hates me kek
i can't revert to the quicksave they were neutral at.
K E K. i hate my life
tired anvil
Guess my bad luck theory is right
finite dragon
for how long will they be angry
tired anvil
Forever
finite dragon
time to play with the game files because i can't live without duty by my side
Or...
Time to take down a whole bunch of Hierarchists
tired anvil
Kill em all
hazy raven
I think if you get to Barkeep, you can bribe him to make Duty neutral again.
finite dragon
SVUmk2 is broken
hazy raven
Or you can just have a Cheeki breeki moment with them. Have fun.
finite dragon
also i can't
the barkeep doesn't have an option
oof i killed general voronin
hey at least the marker will disappear from my map!
i can make them neutral but i will have to go back to Before X-16
i kept a quicksave in case i screw something up in yantar lol, but i guess it's better.
time to redo yantar and suffer with Goddamn Snorks :D
tired anvil
At least maybe this time it will work ;D
finite dragon
||the irony to realise that Vasiliev died because he couldn't find the bunker||
tired anvil
||Ghost died because the idiot Vasiliev was too scared and ditched him||
wary cove
for how long will they be angry
@finite dragon until S3 release 😛
finite dragon
also is it me or i'm completely invincible when i'm peeking while firing?
i've never been hit while peek firing idk how
tired anvil
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wary cove
I've been in CoP
Probably just a SoC thing
finite dragon
||imagine being scared to the point you ditch someone yet you escape and everything and die||
hazy raven
Zone doesn´t forget...
finite dragon
i hate SOC so much because guns can't be repaired and the horrible accuracy
tired anvil
Yeah...
finite dragon
lorewise it is great tho
finite dragon
snorks?
tired anvil
Snorks, Vova Vist, Swamps
A lot of stuff
A big part is a L2P issue tbh
But a lot of people suck and don't do that
finite dragon
learning it will probs not be bad
if the guns can be repaired and are accurate it will be somewhat easy for me
finite dragon
SOC is on master
i like using the hardest difficulty while playing a new game so i don't complain while playing it again about how hard it is
but man, SOC on master is horrible
finite dragon
i just noticed that all snorks die instantly if shot in the head
this is getting n i c e
hazy raven
CS is known as the most broken one. Also GSC tried to make there faction wars system, but it seems to be broken too.
Also they butchered the atmosphere of SOC away - you can see all enemies on minimap. I wonder though how story is there. 🤔
tired anvil
CS being broken/unplayable is almost a myth tbh
hazy raven
And if it´s playable like main story of SOC of if even this is broken.
tired anvil
Sure that was the case in 2008 but it got patched up
hazy raven
SOC got patched too and other content than story one is still broken.
Also, but that´s more bad design choice - I can´t forget the moment in Wild territory, where you get kicked out of control due the game showing you cutscene of Ecologists being shot down. Problem is that during the cutscene Bloodsucker attacked me and before cutscene ended, I was dead. It allways started attacking me during the cutscene. Then I somehow survived it or skipped the cutscene by not going through the door which triggers it.
finite dragon
how are snorks even alive with their lower jaw cracked like that and their whole back flayed lol
hazy raven
Snorks, while creepy, more look lame for me. There was other mutant drewn by community as part of competition, but GSC picked up Snorks.
And the another mutant looked more creepy for me.
finite dragon
snorks are just annoying as hell
you just be walking minding yourself then you hear a roar you keep looking around but because you're a nerd with glasses you get hit by something jumping that you didn't even see
hazy raven
This one lost competition in favor of Snork. https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Tark
tired anvil
Yep
finite dragon
well the tark kind of looks lame
tired anvil
It's just a horsy
hazy raven
Like hunter from Left 4 dead is better.
(Now I have noticed that Snorks behave so similarly aside of pouncing grab.)
finite dragon
when will they add a creature that runs twice as fast as a player and hits so hard yet dies from one hit lol
call it "Runni Boi"
hazy raven
Funny is that Left 4 Dead was supposed to have zombie dog monster instead of Hunter. So both these mutant and zombie had similar fate.
finite dragon
or a creature that paralyses you then force feeds you pineapple pizza
hazy raven
Goblin was supposed to behave similarly.
finite dragon
the company would be taken down for mental abuse if they add that
hazy raven
Mutant in Stalker 2´s concept (original, cancelled one).
Which was supposed to wait until you sleep, then take you inside of its lair and kill you or something. And during it transform into stronger, creepier mutant.
tired anvil
There was a Goblin thing in CS
hazy raven
Cut out? Or do you mean Karlik/Izlom?
finite dragon
looks kinda dumb
tired anvil
Yeah Morlock
hazy raven
hazy raven
These are normal people though. While snorks are... 🥥 people?
finite dragon
cloakers are 🥥
they literally hang on roofs then make a really loud stuka siren then rape you
check this lol
hazy raven
One-hit kill. Snorks can´t one-hit you though, at least on Stalker difficulty.
But yep, they also attack with kicking attack.
finite dragon
snorks can be one hit on master difficulty and it doesn't have to be a headshot smh
loads bulldozer 6 you see it's very simple
hazy raven
You can kill them by one or two hits by knife in COP.
finite dragon
can you even get in melee range without being killed?
hazy raven
Yep. Fighting melee with Snorks can be interesting. You have to dodge their hits and then try to hit them.
Though SOC has worse knife animation so it´s harder to hit them.
And maybe it has less range attack. I never used much knife in SOC. Unlike COP.
grand pendant
can you even get in melee range without being killed?
you can, but it's only for legends
finite dragon
real legends are the ones who take on a pseudogiant in a knife fight
but imo snorks are easy to kill mostly because you can easily headshot them?
hazy raven
I did in Winds of time mod for COP. I had to keep spamming medkit though and was lucky to survive. As it hits hard on melee.
finite dragon
they're just bad because they're hard to detect
and they hit you when you don't see it coming lol
hazy raven
They move fast though.
Though for me much more creepier are Bloodsuckers. Especially in COP, where they are 100% invisible.
finite dragon
well i use a GP37
one spray takes them down easily if i'm aware of their presence
also yeah bloodsuckers are really annoying
hazy raven
Burers can be easily killed by knife though.
If you can manage to sprint to them though.
finite dragon
i'm trying to get a heavy grenade launchers so i really won't meet burers. my grenades will
hazy raven
Also wait for COP, there bloodsuckers are more annoying.
finite dragon
is there anything that can survive a direct RPG hit btw?
tired anvil
Don't think so
finite dragon
it's a HEAT warhead so i really doubt it
tired anvil
i'm trying to get a heavy grenade launchers so i really won't meet burers. my grenades will
You won't see them often
grand pendant
Bulldog's too heavy, Underbarrel grenade launcher ftw
finite dragon
||Where did they get the massive brain at X16 from? It is as big as a pseudogiant. Bruh||
grand pendant
they made it 
finite dragon
Those damn russians

it's not the only one
finite dragon
Oh

Seva
finite dragon
Yee i have two flash artifacts and my stamina never goes down lol
soft shadow
Exo sucks, minimal environmental protection
and you can't sprint
Seva have decent armor and a ton of env protection
Just a reminder if anyone don't know, Nimble SVU is actually fully auto, its the SVU-A (Ots-03A), fully auto variant of the SVU, on some mods you can actually shoot automatically but recoil is extremely high, as expected of a sniper
gusty trench
Damage is super low for a sniper rifle
soft shadow
The Tide is fairly good
decent damage, silence, fairly good scope
I think the AN-94 is the middle ground between sniper and assault rifle, the 2 shoot burst is very strong and it can shoot full auto. In addition, you have a 30 round mag

cant express how much i am excited about stalker 2
its so near its crazy
for the past year i always think about it while in bed. trying to imagine the story of a forgotten series
languid harbor
i started playing modded stalker recently just because of the stalker 2 trailer, i've been enjoying anomaly alot lately
languid harbor
You do?
as which faction
silk viper
Loners / Free Stalkers
hazy raven
I'll probably try Anomaly after finishing my Gunslinger COP playthrough.
I wonder though what variant of Warfare there is more fun... Normal with dynamic factions relationship or all out war? 🤔
solid dome
I dont like playing beta builds then have to start a new game cause the final version doesnt work with beta saves
hazy raven
It isn´t just case of beta builds. Remember COC 1.something.14, when they later released tons of patches for it to fix all bugs? After release?
Saves worked though, but devs recommended to start new game anyway.
solid dome
I've played CoC twice, cant comment on that mod
Its neither bad, nor good. Mediocre.
gusty trench

Great. And you?

I´ll play later. Continue in my COP Gunslinger mod playthrough.
Finished Winds of Time mod before.
hazy raven
Why? It´s the easiest game of the trilogy. 🤔
silk viper
The Anomaly tent is so buggy... freaks out when you touch it
hazy raven
Also one thing which SOC did better - unlike COP, where in every level (aside of one underground) you have some friendly trader and NPCs, in SOC some levels are without any friendly NPCs. Which forces player to prepare himself better for the longer journey, as he will be without supplies for longer time. And even though enemy stalkers drop ammo and weapons, they might not drop yours.
solid dome
Regi, suggest me a mod where I spawn, cutscene plays, I pick an ending and the game's done
hazy raven
None.
Though any mod or game if you kill yourself. If you take Game over/Lost to the zone as ending too.
solid dome
Coming from that, I'd say I've beaten tens of mods then
I've been lost to the zone 100-150K times
still ridge
That’s a bold statement
hazy raven
I also saw in some videos that some mods change the game over message to "You can´t change the reality and Zone kicks you out!".
Which sounds lame though.
still ridge
nah but it’s phrased differently
It’s funny as hell tbh
“you can’t change reality and ZONE kicks you out”
it’s the all caps zone that’s funny idk

@hazy raven
still ridge
I mean in Pripyat there isn’t a trader
finite dragon
To be fair that's what I have to do to deal with pripyat, the army supplier doesn't give you enough ammo, i think only 10-20 rounds of 7.62x54
still ridge
yeah he stops giving free supplies since he only has so much
finite dragon
You'd think that since I'm a special agent that trekked through the zone, opened up a previously unpassable route, and routinely is the only person to survive fights with the monolits then i would be entitled to more than the usual rations
At least I should get the dead guys' ammo
hazy raven
Pripyat doesn´t have trader in COP? I´ll remind myself when I´ll reach the area. 🤔
Though I don´t remember having problems with supplies at COP. Unlike SOC.
finite dragon
There's an army dude who gives you supplies before each fight, it's just that he doesn't give you that much
soft shadow
I have no problem with supplies in CoP
Just aim for the head, is it that hard? especially at that point when you probably have already obtained at least 1 gun that have a scope
finite dragon
I only had problems at the hospital mission because I packed somewhat lightly going to pripyat (I think about 150 rounds of 5.56 for a g36) so I had stamina for the underground. Imo the damage in the stock game was too little, often taking more than one headshot to kill an enemy iirc
I prefered the increased damage with AO, as I felt it was both more intense and fairer to me
With 5.45 the damage problem was worse
robust forge
Mmm, AN-94
soft shadow
worth mentioning that the 9x39 rounds in Stalker shoot like a tank with silencer, decent pen, high damage though
other games, 9x39 shoots like a peashooter
open lintel
hazy raven
It´s hard hitting enemies when the gun is slow and innacurate. I remember that in Pripyat there is one quest where you have to use sniper rifle or Gauss Rifle to kill some enemies. And I wasn´t able to hit anybody due RNG hating me.
finite dragon
low crouching makes accuracy much better
sadly it doesn't make it as accurate as you need, but you have a better chance to hit lol
tired anvil
@finite dragon bug got fixed?
tired anvil
How come the deletes?
Neither, though why would you delete asking for help in technical if you want to fix it?
finite dragon
because last time i tried asking for the help none answered so i just presumed it's unfixable lol
i will try to somehow keep my quicksaves then reinstall it and put the save file so i don't erase anything lol
welp i can't

NDA at the moment

Has for a while
molten condor
It has created page in Gog Galaxy client though.
@hazy raven you sure ? cause I could only find the older games
hazy raven
Yep. I have found it before.
Try search there for "S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2".
Though it isn´t available through web browser.

You need the launcher yeah

ah yes, typing "S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2" did the job
tired anvil

i regret going to the red forest
finite dragon
a lot of zomkers, ooga chakas and i get radiation constantly
tired anvil
I love how you call the Monolith ooga chakas
finite dragon
kek
okay i get radiation because i walk by destroyed cars, this is pretty weird lol
hazy raven
Well, Red Forest area is in Call of Chernobyl mod called as Radar. While Red Forest is completely another area in Clear Sky.
If you get anti-radiation artifacts, you should be fine.
tired anvil
Call of Chernobyl
But yeah, that is Radar
Clear Sky one is the true Red Forest, one in SoC is basically Radar
finite dragon
i'm still in the small path that leads to the forest itself
wait, this isn't the red forest itself yet? 
finite dragon
i'm gonna suffer
Lol i shot a guy then i saw a red flash and an explosion, i thought that was kind of weird then i realised that's what being hit by an RPG looks like
tired anvil
wait, this isn't the red forest itself yet? :kuznetsov:
Well in SoC it technically is, but it's sorta just naming problems. True name is Radar
hazy raven
And it is going to be harder and harder.
wary cove
Wait until you meet them in later maps

Also one hint for vanilla game - before entering CNPP from Pripyat, create a checkpoint save, as this is point of no return. Once you go to CNPP, you can't go back.

Good luck...

one bullet for each head and i will still have spare
hazy raven
Or you´ll need to change your gun...
finite dragon
i prefer the tundra because the ROF is pretty low
tired anvil
Or take bullets from the hooka chaga lads
finite dragon
so i can take head shots and compensate for recoil easily
they don't have the same ammo type kek
tired anvil
Wait so you're not carrying every single gun and ammo type with you? Pfff rookie
hazy raven
Blame GSC for giving us only 50 kg limit...
finite dragon
i have two guns
tired anvil
They also gave us drugs in CoP for it
finite dragon
a sniper with 40 bullets and a tundra which had 400 bullets when i came in

And suit upgrades.
finite dragon
plus a small pistol that isn't so helpful because it has a weird recoil lol

In SOC I am not sure about artifacts, but Exoskeleton increases max. weight of inventory.

You can also use grenades or knife.
