#

How'd you find out about the series? Streamers?

#

Please fanboy about the bandits

#

join the bandits and you can fanboy by lore

timber phoenix
#

Life of boris brought me to this game

#

From his stalker old gameplays

meager plover
#

that guy sucks

#

he's a, god forgive me for saying this, poser

timber phoenix
#

Wdym?

meager plover
#

well

#

he only does the memes

#

the memes are 3 things

#

vodka, a "mama" or other family joke and some swearing

#

oh

timber phoenix
#

For fun

meager plover
#

and cheeki breeki is used at random

#

if you use cheeki, don't forget to be breeki

timber phoenix
#

I mean i never heard cheeki breeki in my life

#

I played cracked stalker call of pripyat 4 years ago

meager plover
#

wut

#

cracked as in pirated?

timber phoenix
#

I never heard any bandits say cheeki breeki

timber phoenix
meager plover
#

BRUH

desert flame
#

that's what cracked is

meager plover
#

You just admitted to pirating stalker on the official server

timber phoenix
#

Yeah

meager plover
#

that is hella illegal

desert flame
#

did you buy it later on?

timber phoenix
#

I tried

#

But uh let just say credit card was cancelled

strong rivet
#

@fair crater i already had trouble sleeping thanks to this game

meager plover
strong rivet
#

But i wanna play again

#

Even tho it frustrates me

#

It's like my ex girlfriend

timber phoenix
#

But i got new one

#

And no i won't buy any stalker game, first get cracked and when i see which is good, i buy it

strong rivet
#

Just don't pirate games bro

timber phoenix
desert flame
#

if you're going to pirate something, do it to try it out or buy it later on

timber phoenix
#

Yeah

desert flame
#

half of my favorite games I pirated then bought 1 year later, even if I finished them

strong rivet
#

Especially if you live in a first world country, i used to pirate games because they literally costed 4x the price in developing countries due to exchange rate and extra taxes, now I sure as hell don't anymore

#

Devs gotta get their moolah

meager plover
#

just don't pirate games dude

strong rivet
#

I remember when I wanted to get the latest quake game and it was worth an equivalent of 110 dollars

meager plover
strong rivet
#

I'm glad steam is in south america now

timber phoenix
#

Eh I'm not from America

meager plover
#

Brazil?

desert flame
#

you can get a $35 dollar game for $2

strong rivet
#

Argentina

timber phoenix
#

I'm from Lithuania

meager plover
#

BRUH

#

Lithuania and you're pirating games?

#

not cool

timber phoenix
#

Eh

#

I crack old games

#

Not new

strong rivet
#

Also can I just dump gear in any box i find near a trader or is it going to get stolen

#

I have too much handgun ammo

#

But don't wanna sell

desert flame
#

it doesn't get stolen

#

what game?

meager plover
strong rivet
#

SoC

#

Just started yesterday

#

It's been eventful

meager plover
#

oh

desert flame
#

yeah, I always left my stuff there

meager plover
#

what level?

desert flame
#

no one steals it

strong rivet
#

I'm with the barkeep now

#

After doing that hellhole of a mission at the research place

meager plover
#

gotten to lab x18 yet?

strong rivet
#

Not yet

meager plover
#

good

timber phoenix
#

Stalker looks fun and interesting, especially with mods

strong rivet
#

I'm trying to head back to the tunnel

meager plover
strong rivet
#

I was in earlier

#

Forgot to grab the stash

meager plover
#

a lot of ammo

strong rivet
#

How much is too much ammo

meager plover
#

not enough

strong rivet
#

I have 200 rounds of AR ammo

meager plover
#

but i'd say 1500

strong rivet
#

Oh

woeful lynx
#

1500 is just enough

strong rivet
#

Oh

woeful lynx
#

for sale

meager plover
#

5.45 is the cheapest and most effective

strong rivet
#

Yeah i got that AN-94 looking AK now

meager plover
#

AK's are your bestie

strong rivet
#

Which has excellent iron sights

#

So headshots are a lot easier

meager plover
#

yeah

woeful lynx
#

aw yis, an-94 is really good

meager plover
#

also

#

in the tunnels

#

more bandits spawn

woeful lynx
#

it actually can carry you throughout the whole game

meager plover
#

so

#

watch out

hushed aurora
#

In X18 you can obtain an AK with a grenade launcher in some lockers

#

Alongside a monolith suit

meager plover
woeful lynx
#

x18 has a monolith suit?

meager plover
#

he's going in first

hushed aurora
#

You didn't know?

woeful lynx
#

nope

hushed aurora
#

You know in the same room with the lockers as the AK with a grenade launcher

woeful lynx
#

i heard about merc suit in rookie village, though

#

i suppose it's in some secret room

hushed aurora
#

Not really

#

The merc suit in rookie village is well hidden

#

The monolith suit at X18 is literally in a room you can access to normally

#

It isn't a secret

#

Just search every locker, inside one there it is

woeful lynx
#

oh, guess I wasn't looking close enough for it

hushed aurora
#

Happens

meager plover
#

@tired anvil Do you think we should keep spoilers out of this chat for new players?

tired anvil
#

I mean, if it's the location of some weapon then I don't think it's a huge problem. New players always ask anyway, I don't think there's much to spoil so it's not a huge problem

opaque parrot
#

The only thing one can spoil is the story imho

#

Weapons and armor locations are no biggie

#

It's like trying to spoil how to use a sword in Assassin's Creed

tired anvil
#

Yea but to get that spoiled is...a bit hard imo

opaque parrot
#

You mean the story?

#

Wanna bet? smile_strelok

tired anvil
#

Just say Anomaly is canon and let them discover it for themsleves smile_degtyarev

trail arrow
#

It seems that some big games announce their release date atleast 4-5 month prior which means we could possibly hear something about release dates during summer period hmm... feels_good_stalk

#

Unless it will get postponed to Q1 2022

tired anvil
#

Can't say postponed if 2021 was never confirmed to be the release year Sure_I_am

hushed aurora
#

^

#

There's no confirmed release date

#

So it can't get delayed/postponed Think_about_it

strong rivet
#

gud

#

gives me more time to do all the games

#

and then anomaly after

#

either ill be satisfied or ill slam my keyboard on the table

hushed aurora
#

Hope it's gonna be the first

strong rivet
#

well so far its very enjoyable

#

in a way its what i wish most open world games were

#

it doesnt guide you and its not afraid that the player will make a wrong choice

tired anvil
#

You'll feel a lot of that in Call of Pripyat

strong rivet
#

so far i have made many questionable choices that have come to bite me in the ass

hushed aurora
#

CoP has a pretty nice sandbox feeling to it

#

On the first playthrough

strong rivet
#

i want to get to CoP asap but i have limited time to play and i like modding my games too much

#

my only issue with SoC is that if you dont headshot the enemies are quite bullet spongey

hushed aurora
#

Most enemies die of 1 headshot with most guns so it's just a matter of aim

strong rivet
#

well with the an-94 i can headshot since the iron sights are really nice

#

but with a pistol its pretty brutal

hushed aurora
#

Oh yeah

#

Pistols are alright but most aren't reliable for large gunfights

strong rivet
#

even with the walter pistol which is a nicer upgrade

#

yep

hushed aurora
#

And in SoC it's better to shoot from the hip with pistols

strong rivet
#

really

hushed aurora
#

Because idk why aiming with the sights makes it like a lot less accurate

#

From my experience

strong rivet
#

yeah its pretty hard to use pistols in this game lol

#

AN94 is awesome

hushed aurora
#

Aiming with pistols is better in CS imo because pistols are actually accurate

strong rivet
#

i just wish there was a way to repair my guns so im not scared to use them CryPepe

#

spent 10k rubles on this bad boy i want it to last

hushed aurora
#

Welp

#

Imo it's better to not buy guns mostly because you can obtain free by looting

strong rivet
#

yeah i just really wanted an upgrade

#

and that gun looked nice

tired anvil
strong rivet
#

and it is very nice

hushed aurora
#

Another thing, sell artifacts to Sakharov

#

Iirc he pays better for artifacts

strong rivet
#

i will when i figure out who that is

#

oh thank you

#

good info

hushed aurora
#

Np

strong rivet
#

now i just gotta find a storage space in where the barkeep is

#

to stash em

#

@tired anvil yeah imm get it too

#

i would buy them all right now

#

but thats dangerous for productivity

tired anvil
opaque parrot
#

@tired anvil Wait, wait, wait

#

2021 was confirmed?

tired anvil
#

No

opaque parrot
#

I thought they denounced that

#

Oh

#

I must have misunderstood you then, sorry

tired anvil
#

Yea you scared me for a moment, thought I messed up myself

opaque parrot
#

Lmao, I just checked your message, saw you said "was NEVER confirmed"

#

I missed that "never" smile_strelok

tired anvil
opaque parrot
strong rivet
#

the trailer they showed makes me scared for my processor and graphics card

#

it looks really good

#

the Skif one

hushed aurora
#

What are your specs

strong rivet
#

4790k

#

1080ti

#

16gb DDR3 ram

#

processor ram and mobo need some work

hushed aurora
#

Yeah why are you scared lol

strong rivet
#

my processor has 6 years of use

hushed aurora
#

I think you'd run it, i'm not an expert tho but still

#

Oh

#

Dang

strong rivet
#

and shes definitely nearing the end

#

built this computer in 2014

#

and the motherboard is down one PCI slot due to graphics card sag

#

im just hoping i dont have to get new parts soon

#

shes a well worn machine

hushed aurora
#

Alright so

#

The CPU and perhpas the RAM

#

But besides i think it's alright

strong rivet
#

when i built this computer there was a DDR4 shortage so i went with a DDR3 ram and processor

#

so now to update i gotta change all 3 CryPepe

hushed aurora
tired anvil
#

1080ti is still a good card so I think you'll be fine regarding that

#

16gb of DDR3...ehhh ig you could use an upgrade, but it's not super horrible

strong rivet
#

i wanna spend moni on car instead

#

why do everythin gotta cost money

marsh scarab
#

especially if you oc

strong rivet
#

yeah man shes been doing so good

marsh scarab
#

envy that

strong rivet
#

a hard working processor

#

ive done rendering gaming all kinds of things on it

#

im tempted to delid it

marsh scarab
#

just go full send and ln2 it

#

but I have a question pertaining to SoC now, for some reason I cant change the sun and grass shadow, and lighting distance?

strong rivet
#

like advanced settings doesnt work?

marsh scarab
#

only mod im running is zrp

#

yeah, in advanced settings

#

oh im stupid I needed to switch to full dynamic ligthing

strong rivet
#

lmao its okay sometimes we need to type things out to realize

marsh scarab
#

time to crank every setting up

strong rivet
#

@tired anvil i have a question

tired anvil
#

?

strong rivet
#

on the strike system

tired anvil
#

Sure

strong rivet
#

see i curse a lot accidentally and i already got a 1 hour mute. ive been trying to tone it down but its a learning experience for me. am i in danger after my first mute

#

cause i had to switch my auto correct to remove those words on my phone

marsh scarab
#

next offence will result in death

strong rivet
#

dam

hushed aurora
#

Nah

tired anvil
#

All of us can check how many strikes you have/what you received them for. We won't really end you over it unless you just do it non-stop without even trying to improve

strong rivet
#

last time i was like fudge this game is hard and i didnt realize and i got bonked

#

i dont want more bonks

tired anvil
#

No promises)

strong rivet
#

i pinky promise

#

pinky promise

#

im trying

tired anvil
#

👍

marsh scarab
#

is there bullet drop?

#

ive tap fired an entire mag into a stationary guy 60m away and hes still not dead

hushed aurora
#

Yes

#

Ah

#

SoC¿

marsh scarab
#

yep

#

im using ak74/2 if that matters

#

oh guess what my next bullet downed him 🤷‍♀️

#

but i do like to know why it takes so many damm shots

hushed aurora
#

I don't remember SoC's bulley drop being as hmmm heavy is the term¿

strong rivet
#

@marsh scarab same here

#

when you get the an94 its easier

#

cause you can headshot nicer

finite dragon
#

Guys I finally bought STALKER Clear Sky

marsh scarab
#

oops talking about swearing...

#

but jesus when in buildings this can become a horror game

strong rivet
#

yes

#

i dislike tunnels

finite dragon
#

what'

strong rivet
#

extremely dislike

#

everytime i set foot on a tunnel

#

boom

#

half the anomalies of the world come out

#

mutants

#

bandits

#

you name it

wary cove
#

smile_degtyarev the wonderful Zone

marsh scarab
#

im trying to find streloks stash its in a tunnel somewhere right?

#

the map leads me to an open hill so im not sure what to do

hushed aurora
#

You have to get in the underground

#

Following Mole

marsh scarab
#

mole the guy right?

#

i dont see anyone near

#

theres like a structure where I can see it leads underground but its blocked by rubble

hushed aurora
#

Hmm

#

Thats not the one

wary cove
#

Nope not that one
Look for a manhole/sewer like entrance with a metallic ladder, not far from the destroyed perimeter wall of agroprom facility

strong rivet
#

i entered there

#

but mole didnt follow me

#

i was alone

#

and sad

finite dragon
#

my god i am having the time of my life playing stalkerRP again on gmod

finite dragon
#

Guys are the first stalker games are to get into?

#

that is SoC and CS

strong rivet
#

One of the side missions i got involves me Killing a duty member who stole an artifact

#

Will this ruin my relationship with them

magic reef
#

Not much

strong rivet
#

Do you think it's worth doing the mission then

#

I don't know that's worth it or not yet

#

Doesn't seem like a great idea to piss off big exoskeleton dudes tho

magic reef
#

Depends on what faction you want to join

#

If you wanna be neutral and have good guns, just shoot em up

#

@strong rivet you will need to do this anyway

strong rivet
#

Alright

#

Thank you

#

I'm just figuring out which assault rifle to go with from now on I have access to a 5.56x45 and a 9x39 one

#

The latter seems to have rarer ammo

shadow drift
#

9x39 is a pain in the ass to find ammo for

#

it works as a sniper rifle to keep but i dunno about using it as a primary assault rifle

magic reef
#

Better use 5x56 as primary

#

And 9x39 as a secondary

#

To snipe

strong rivet
#

Thank you guys

finite dragon
#

Guys are the first stalker games are to get into?
that is SoC and CS

shadow drift
#

play SoC first, then i suggest you play CoP and if you like it, play CS

strong rivet
#

In enjoying SoC

strong rivet
#

@magic reef one more thing

magic reef
#

?

strong rivet
#

Currently in a tunnel and i can hear a like en echoey voice scream and its affecting my character in some way since it seems that the camera is swaying

#

No enemy in sight tho

#

What could it be

magic reef
#

Controller?

strong rivet
#

They have a reach from that far away ?

magic reef
#

Idk, i really dont remember

#

Oof

strong rivet
#

I'm scared now lmao

wary cove
#

Other mutants such as poltergeists and burers (latter only present in CoP) detect player by sound (and movement I think? Not 100% sure on this one), so it is suggested to crouch and walk as quietly as you can

finite dragon
#

expert stalkers recommend left clicking their heads

fair crater
#

solution is boom boom

#

if boom not dead

#

boom more

finite dragon
#

The Zone posses mortal danger! We are here to protect you from the Zone, not the Zone from you! Do not jeopardize your life, do not try to penetrate into the secured area!

strong rivet
#

Okay I was walking in the lab

#

I heard loud thumps

#

And some weird weird stuff happened with some boxes

#

I think that's it for tonight

#

That was enough spook

robust forge
arctic rover

zak 4ever

robust forge
#

Both are great

wicked current
#

hm, new 'mojis

fair crater
#

im gonna

#

im gonna post politic

finite dragon
#

CS is still fun despite its controversy

#

also reason to play first games is cuz they actually have good story and gameplay elements, and if u play CoP or mods, the older games may be unappealing and u miss out on the fun 😉

tired anvil
#

Start with SoC though

#

SoC->CS->CoP. Release order

shadow drift
#

cs has big problems, real big

so imo it's worth it to only play cs if you enjoyed the other 2 games

#

otherwise it's just a slog

wicked current
#

can you say what bothered you? i recently replayed it and had a good time, except the ending. ahh_nuu

shadow drift
#

health kits dont heal bleeding

#

and you bleed from basically any damage

#

then there's the whole thing about CS being one giant firefight that really contrasts with, say, COP's much slower pace that lets you explore or even SOC

#

SOC had big firefights, but they were contained into specific sections, not take place on the entire region

#

it's not a bad game by any means, i just find it to be the least appealing because of this

wicked current
#

right, i can see that.

shadow drift
#

||also there's the part where the game takes away all of your money and things, lets you take back your things but not the money||

#

which wasnt fun if you were saving up for a good suit for example

wicked current
#

oh boy that was annoying

shadow drift
#

and the part where ||you cant side with bandits if you dont give them all of your money when you enter garbage||

#

and again, cant get those back if you make friends with them

wicked current
#

||the best way to do it is to spend all your money before entering.||

grand pendant
#

that's a lore presentation though

shadow drift
#

yup, which is something that's easily done on the second playthrough
but for a first timer this is soo annoying

grand pendant
#

they are showing the way bandits operate in 2011

#

you got mugged, just like every other stalker, bc you are like every other stalker

shadow drift
#

i mean alright if it's lore but it would be nice to at least have an option to talk about returning it if you actually work for bandits

grand pendant
#

why would they? not like you are friends, just employer-employee relationship

shadow drift
#

and why not strike another deal then
"bring me x and i'll give it back"

grand pendant
#

also the medkit part, the aptechka doesn't include bandages afaik, you just use the morphine so it makes sense you still bleed

shadow drift
#

realism isnt always fun tho is it

grand pendant
#

clearly not, but it's not bad

#

there was even gonna be a disease system, so just making medkits operate correctly isn't crazy realism

shadow drift
#

i would agree if there wasnt instant bleeding on any damage
and you take damage a lot because of all the constant combat
any time i replay CS, i remember that fact and stock up on bandages and still find myself in situations where i bleed with no option to stop it

grand pendant
#

i mean, if you get shot or scratched by a big ass mutant paw you'll bleed

shadow drift
#

and bleeding-stopping artifacts are quite late into the game iirc

grand pendant
#

uh yes, you gotta work for it

#

as well as better suits

shadow drift
grand pendant
#

it seems to me that you are looking at stalker the wrong way

#

game doesn't want you to be comfortable all the time

shadow drift
#

well i'd say all the other features to make the player uncomfortable are quite alright, like guns jamming, radiation, suit degradation and so on

but it really wouldnt hurt if the system of bleeding worked like in SOC-COP

grand pendant
#

i prefer it the CS way but ok, most people seem to share your opinion ig

robust forge
#

CS way is good if you run from a stash to stash and collect artifacts

#

Which people don't really like because it makes them explore

#

And there's a pretty big dissonance between the need to explore and the story which imposes you rushing everywhere

grand pendant
#

CS gets really good if you take your time, i got a stash in every level with anything i need. Makes it increidbly enjoyable, but takes work and time

#

And there's a pretty big dissonance between the need to explore and the story which imposes you rushing everywhere
yeah, definitely an issue for the first playthrough

robust forge
#

In general, it gives sort of cognitive confusion

#

The faction war system makes it even worse

shadow drift
#

there's also that one part of the basement trap
while i understand the money being taken away with no option to return in when you enter garbage for the first time, i kinda fail to see why not give the cash back to the player after taking out the bandits with a crappy pistol
you get the equipment back, why not also the money? a lot of people like to save up for stuff

#

like
you straight up kill the people who rob you
do they send the cash to an offshore account in 2 hours or something

grand pendant
#

i'm not saying this is 100% the reason, but maybe that was the point

robust forge
#

Either that or xray didn't want to cooperate with them

#

So they decided to leave it be like that

grand pendant
#

nah, they did change it. Up until 1.5.04 the quest to get back that stash wasn't given, so they did go back to it back then

#

it was pretty funny before that patch though, you'd stumble upon yout stuff out of nowhere

shadow drift
#

quest rewards are pretty simple if i understand right, so i guess it's a specific design choice which is uhh
well i guess it's to fight money hoarders? but then that completely fails if the player spends all their cash before going out?
and if clear sky wants to rely on preparation so much, why punish people who want to be ready and careful before going somewhere else?

#

and if that's a lore piece - uhhh i fail to see why sacrifice gameplay so much

robust forge
#

CS looks like it had several creative visions crammed into a singular game

shadow drift
#

yeah i can see that

grand pendant
#

CS rewards exploration a lot, so maybe they wanted to take out your stuff and force you to explore even more

robust forge
#

It was supposed to be more linear than ShoC with the story, but it implemented faction wars which were the opposite of that

#

Same with exploration

#

But man

#

Clear Sky has the best combat in the whole series

#

Period

grand pendant
#

ez ^

shadow drift
#

faction wars felt really disconnected from anything
like you can side with freedom and fight duty for days but scar is dying and has to find strelok like, RIGHT NOW but instead sides with some dudes to wipe out some other dudes that arent even a threat

#

dunno it felt really weird to me

robust forge
#

Yup

grand pendant
#

i believe i read an explanation for that some time ago, but it had to do with unimplemented or cut content, either way, a mistake

shadow drift
#

in COP i can see it as there's no real urgency, you're just supposed to find stuff and i can see it as Degtyarev getting attached to the zone, finding beliefs and siding with them

shadow drift
robust forge
#

Yeah, CoP would actually benefit from faction wars

#

At least in Yanov and Jupiter

native saffron
#

where is the best place to sell artifacts?

#

this would be in CoP

robust forge
#

Herman iirc

native saffron
#

he doesnt seem to want to buy anything

shadow drift
#

try the second doctor

native saffron
#

he doesnt trade

#

should i take them to beard or should i just trade them to hawaiian

native saffron
#

i took them to beard he also needed one of the ones i had so i got more rubles than if i would have sold them normally

#

so now i have enough money for an exosuit, should i buy it?

#

i kind of want to gamble for an assault rifle

hushed aurora
#

But you can't sprint while wearing them, unless you upgrade it so it lets you to

native saffron
#

damn fr

#

thats kinda wack

hushed aurora
#

Ofc it's for the sense of being a "tank"

native saffron
#

and if i get and exo i probably wont have enough money to upgrade it

hushed aurora
#

And to carry more weight but i think you can upgrade other suits to do the same or just use Hercules

native saffron
#

since its 60000 from nimble and i have ~63000

hushed aurora
#

Yeah no money to upgrade

#

You can make more tho

native saffron
#

yes

hushed aurora
#

brb

native saffron
#

go head first into anomalies and hold F

hushed aurora
#

Ahem so i'd recommend you to save the money

#

It's better to save for a SEVA which you're gonna need in the future

#

Imho

native saffron
#

SEVA?

hushed aurora
#

SEVA you know

native saffron
#

unfortunately i dont

hushed aurora
#

A suit with a closed cycle respiration system i think it's called

#

Wait a sec what other games have you played besides CoP¿

#

Of Stalker

native saffron
#

none

hushed aurora
#

O

#

Dang

native saffron
#

i have only played CoP

hushed aurora
#

Welp that's the thing, you should have started by SoC

#

Too late for that now i guess

native saffron
#

well i just really wanted to play something new and i had this

#

i played it some time earlier

#

when i first got it which was like two years ago

hushed aurora
#

It's always better to start by SoC because CS and CoP are sequels and they spoil a lot of SoC

native saffron
#

and i didnt like the gunplay because guns wouldnt shoot straight

hushed aurora
#

Oh yeah

native saffron
#

well i kind of already know the plot of SoC

hushed aurora
#

Welp

#

I'd still recommend you to try it sometime (And CS too ofc)

#

But continuing with CoP

#

You're gonna need a SEVA suit for a mission of the mainstoryline

#

So i think it's better to save for it

native saffron
#

for going through tunnels under the jupiter plant?

hushed aurora
#

Sorry was afk

#

Ahem

hushed aurora
native saffron
#

ah ok ok

hushed aurora
#

SEVA's are like the opposite of Exo's, because SEVA's are meant for protection against anomalies

native saffron
#

soon im gonna be doing that

hushed aurora
#

Yeah you need a SEVA

native saffron
#

where do i get one?

hushed aurora
#

Hmmm

#

It's been quite a while damn

native saffron
#

is that the green suit in the scientists bunker?

hushed aurora
#

Oh well that one works too

#

It has to be a suit with a closed idk the whole name respirator cycle

#

SEVA's being the best option

#

And Nimble can sell you one for 30k

#

the player orders a suit with a closed-cycle respiratory system

#

That's the name of the thing

native saffron
#

yeah im reading up on the SEVA suit on the wiki

#

i wonder how much does owl and hawaiian sell them for

hushed aurora
#

My memory on CoP is quite blank so idk

#

Can always ask Nimble, i think that would be the most secure option

native saffron
#

sad that it doesnt say on the wiki about owls and hawaiians prices

hushed aurora
#

EN Wiki is sorta wack tbh

#

RU wiki is better but, one doesn't speak russian lol, google translator being the only salvation

native saffron
#

you can translate it but its probably gonna be some very bad translations

hushed aurora
#

Yeah

#

Idk how the RU translated would look like but i know that if you translate the EN one to spanish it comes out kek

native saffron
#

where do i find the russian wiki?

hushed aurora
#

Hmm

#

I honestly don't remember i think it's called Zone Chronicles or smth

#

@tired anvil Sorry for ping but do you know¿

tired anvil
#

Zone Chronicles, yes

hushed aurora
#

O, thanks

native saffron
#

ooo

#

there is one in cache

#

In a cache in the Pripyat-1 Overpass .

hushed aurora
#

Yeah but if iirc that's like inside the underground

#

So you still need a SEVA to get in

#

Dunno if you get what i mean

native saffron
#

yeah i do

#

im gonna go get the documents from jupiter

hushed aurora
#

Good luck

sly viper
#

shouldn't exos protect body integrity(crashing forces) from gravitational anomalies?

pseudo rivet
#

Pretty sure that falls under impact negation

#

But yeah, all armors do, honestly

rotund fox
sly viper
rotund fox
#

Depends on what is around the environment i guess

pseudo rivet
#

It wouldn't, since a 3rd Gen Exoskeleton, the most common variant in the Zone, doesn't allow the user to sprint

rotund fox
#

What does sprinting have to do with holding onto a piece of metal for example?
Again

help to drag yourself out from the first feeling of getting pulled

hushed aurora
#

Would holding onto a piece of metal be enough tho

runic rapids
#

Can anyone tell me if S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Legend Returns works on a 32 bit operating system?

hushed aurora
#

I think i haven't heard of it

#

Does it change the engine or have graphical upgrades¿

runic rapids
#

Its a mod for Call of Chernobyl

#

I had the mod before, but forgot if it had graphical updates

#

Probably just has the graphics look like good old Shadow of Chernobyl

hushed aurora
#

It should work i think

#

If it doesn't have graphical upgrades then i don't see why it wouldn't work on a 32 bit system

runic rapids
#

Alright, ill test it out

hushed aurora
#

O

#

If i hear just one sound from you, i'll gun you down, you hear me? All-in-all, just think how many commanders have popped up so far eh?! 3? 6? Or was it 10 already? Is anybody even counting?

meager plover
#

the writing on freedom's patch says volya right?

wicked current
#

yes

grand pendant
#

it's freedom in ukranian, i've also heard they speak ukranian instead of russian, unlike duty members, who have no ukranian dialogue. Cool details

Hello ! will there be a cooperation mode in STALKER 2 ?

wicked current
#

we do not know unfortunately

finite dragon

ok, thank you. In any case I hope that this mode will be present 😄

wicked current

so do i, exploring the zone with a friend would be superb.

leaden hamlet
native saffron
#

should i take an AKS-74 or an LR-300 with the special VSS into pripyat in CoP

grand pendant
#

a TRs-301

native saffron
#

but isnt it gonna lose durability quite fast?

#

im mainly gonna use the VSS for long to mid range stuff and then for close range i will use the other gun i bring

grand pendant
#

it does loose durability fast but the advantages are extremely good accuracy, damage and RoF

native saffron
#

i kinda wish you could bring a weapon repair kit similarly to how you can in fallout new vegas

strong rivet
#

Day 3 of playing stalker ivr been listening to the barkeep music on loop for an hour absolute banger

hushed aurora
strong rivet
#

I can only fantasize on what other bangers I'll find as i go deeper into the zone

grand pendant
#

gurza dreaming is unironically great

strong rivet
#

It is

#

The game gets a lot better after a couple hours

#

But it also gets scarier

grand pendant
#

the following game may or may not have even better stuff dkud

strong rivet
#

I'm very hyped

#

To play all of them

native saffron
strong rivet
#

Im a big fan of the amount of weight you have limiting sprint Time

#

Typo

#

Meant to say I've

native saffron
#

ooohh

#

i thought some kind of a mod or something

#

ive actually been too playing it for maybe a week or so

strong rivet
#

Nah the only mod i have is the one for bug fixes

#

On the vanilla setting

#

No changes other than bug and crash fixes

#

It's less buggy than bethesda games

native saffron
#

and i kinda regret getting an airsoft AR and not an AKS-74

rotund fox
strong rivet
#

I do dislike the AI when in a building

#

They tend to try to shoot through walls

#

And sometimes they do

rotund fox
#

That thing loses 5% in condition and it starts shooting bullets sideways

#

I made the mistake of using that thing until the end in CS

native saffron
#

well im not gonna be using it to shoot very far

grand pendant
#

dushman, i've been using that gun for years. It always worked perfectly for me

strong rivet
#

Do later games add mechanics to maintain weapons

#

Or a way

#

I wish I could fix my gear

grand pendant
#

yeah, preda

strong rivet
#

Nice

native saffron
#

which game are you playing?

#

SoC?

strong rivet
#

Ye

grand pendant
#

SoC, the one with no fixing mechanics

native saffron
#

oh, i didnt know that

strong rivet
#

Very good game

native saffron
#

kinda sad

strong rivet
#

It has aged really well for 13 years old

rotund fox
strong rivet
#

Nice

#

Not even going to try to mod this one

#

I'm gonna keep moving through the series

native saffron
#

so i think i will take an ak into pripyat because im mainly gonna use it for close range stuff

native saffron
grand pendant
#

nice Preda, not many people who just prefer the vanilla games smile_scar

strong rivet
#

Well I do like modding

grand pendant
#

no need to mod CoP either unless you are claustrophobic or smth

strong rivet
#

But i don't see why I would in this case

native saffron
#

personally i havent had any major problems with vanilla CoP

strong rivet
#

Only thing I would want is slight better AI

native saffron
#

apart from the sights being off

strong rivet
#

Since their aiming in buildings is weird

#

It's not sights being off

#

It's the weapons having dispersion

grand pendant
#

sadly, mods just ruin AI honestly

strong rivet
#

I decreased the sighted dispersion and added more away, and reduced ammo spawn to compensate

#

It's more satisfying

native saffron
native saffron
strong rivet
#

No it's the dispersion

native saffron
#

and the sight are off

grand pendant
#

some mod sights are off

#

you basically haven't played SoC

strong rivet
#

The pistols are the one I had the most issued with

#

And that small tweak

#

Made then not frustrating to use

#

I did reduce ammo to make it more balanced

#

Since I feel like I would have too much ammo otherwise

native saffron
#

aight imma try to go into pripyat

grand pendant
#

pistol ammo is indeed too much, you end up having literally thousands of rounds

#

not even buying, just looting

strong rivet
#

It's not true true vanilla but i feel like i balanced it more for me

#

Yep

native saffron
strong rivet
#

i didnt want to compromise the hardcore experience that the game is to me

#

so thats the only change i did

native saffron
#

i think i have a thousand and a half of 5.45

strong rivet
#

i have a lot of AK ammo but i switched to european weapons instead

native saffron
#

also should i take GP-25 with AK?

strong rivet
#

so i just hoard it

wheat lake
#

5.45x39 is god's caliber change my mind

strong rivet
#

which one is that one

wheat lake
#

not biased

strong rivet
#

let me check

native saffron
strong rivet
#

nnah i gotta disagree

wheat lake
#

No.....

#

Heresy

strong rivet
#

5.56x45mm

native saffron
#

the 5.45 is kind of limited tbh

strong rivet
#

is gods caliber

wheat lake
#

no

strong rivet
#

it hits harder

native saffron
#

doesnt work well in short barrels or suppressed

strong rivet
#

it seems more accurate

wheat lake
#

Just got to get an adjustable gas piston

native saffron
#

im talking about irl stuff

wheat lake
#

I am too

native saffron
#

well then its definitely not the best caliber

strong rivet
#

im not

#

im talking about stalker

#

i do have an AK with very fast firerate

#

so i might use that instead

#

but it eats ammo

native saffron
#

happens

#

im trying to hoard 9x39

strong rivet
#

i like the GP37

#

I just wish i could use it in semi auto

grand pendant
#

you get thousands of it as well

strong rivet
#

also

#

can you remove attachements

#

in SoC

grand pendant
#

yeah

native saffron
#

well i was talking about irl gun stuff as in its limited in usages, short barrel, subsonic use etc

strong rivet
#

how do you do so

grand pendant
#

right click

#

some attachtments are integrated though

pseudo rivet
#

Same way you unload weapons

strong rivet
#

sorry forgot i cant cuse

#

thank you

#

dammit i shouldnt have sold that SGI with the scope

pseudo rivet
#

You shouldn't have attacked Freedom

strong rivet
#

i should have

#

they are dumb

#

duty better

pseudo rivet
#

Those bandits?

grand pendant
#

oh no feels_bad_stalk

native saffron
#

Bandits he says

strong rivet
#

well keep in mind ive only interacted with duty and freedom

grand pendant
#

almost-vanilla dude is a dutyer

pseudo rivet
#

Factually speaking, of course

native saffron
#

Freedom is closer to bandits than duty will ever get

strong rivet
#

yeah

pseudo rivet
#

Okay

strong rivet
#

i agree

pseudo rivet
#

How

native saffron
#

They want to let people into the zone which mind you is an extremely dangerous area

pseudo rivet
#

No, they want it to be open

#

You go in, that's your own problem

strong rivet
#

yeah duty just wants to keep people away from it and to use the artifacts for research

grand pendant
#

i call it fighting the state's monopoly over the Zone's wonders

strong rivet
#

not for pillaging

pseudo rivet
#

Besides, what about the Dutyers who went to the Zone?

pseudo rivet
strong rivet
#

i thought duty did

pseudo rivet
#

Nah, Freedom studies the Zone

grand pendant
#

they sell them for profit

wheat lake
#

DESTROY THE ZONE

pseudo rivet
#

Okay

#

Ever played CS?

wheat lake
#

humanity cannot handle it

strong rivet
#

According to rumors, all artifacts found by the group are passed on to scientists. Its members consider protecting the outside world from the Zone's dangers their primary objective.

pseudo rivet
#

Well, that's only a rumor

strong rivet
#

thats what my pda says

pseudo rivet
#

And it's false

strong rivet
#

dammit

#

i might have made an oopsie

#

then

grand pendant
#

CS proves it wrong, so you couldn't have known so far

pseudo rivet
#

And CoP

grand pendant
#

he's only playing SoC btw

pseudo rivet
#

I know

strong rivet
#

well im gonna double down with it

#

if i didnt have a way to know before

pseudo rivet
#

That's the tricky thing about SoC

wheat lake
#

Ask the wish granter for the zone to disappear

#

the best choice

strong rivet
#

then i will continue to operate the same way

pseudo rivet
#

It introduces Duty to you first, so you start believing their propaganda

#

Pretty smart on GSC's side, tbh

strong rivet
#

damm

#

so i killed like

#

30 people

#

on lies

wheat lake
#

Comrade Crimson is lying to Preda

#

Duty is the best

#

don't listen to his freedom slander

#

/s

pseudo rivet
#

I'm not lying, friend

wheat lake
#

Not affiliated with Duty I swear

strong rivet
native saffron
#

neither am i

strong rivet
#

how will i live with my crimes now

grand pendant
#

he used s/ at the end, which stands for sarcasm, so you are automatically locked, Crimson

wheat lake
#

By not believing what Crimson says

grand pendant
#

4chan rules

strong rivet
#

if i would have fought duty

wheat lake
#

Crimson is trying to deceive you

pseudo rivet
#

Dang it, dat b tru

strong rivet
#

then i wouldnt have been able to visit barkeep tho

#

and hes cool

pseudo rivet
#

Got a key, Slyth?

grand pendant
#

yeah hold on

pseudo rivet
#

Aight, thanks in advance, mate

strong rivet
#

he always has interesting things for people like me

hushed aurora
#

You can obliterate Duty

native saffron
#

not to interrupt but should i take the GP-25 into pripyat?

hushed aurora
#

And keep visiting Barkeep normally

pseudo rivet
#

Or just remain neutral

wheat lake
#

No

hushed aurora
#

I've done it like 6 times already

strong rivet
#

if i remain neutral

wheat lake
#

Duty is the best for the zone

strong rivet
#

then i dont get the loot

pseudo rivet
hushed aurora
#

Yeah but wrecking Rostok is fun as heck

strong rivet
#

loot is important

hushed aurora
pseudo rivet
native saffron
strong rivet
#

now i feel like reloading an earlier save

wheat lake
#

Certainly not biased

strong rivet
#

SAD!

#

but i will not

hushed aurora

Duty wants to destroy the Zone, which is impossible so yeah

strong rivet
#

i shall operate like i did before

Well, the grenade launcher detonates on impact, so it can be handy in a pinch

wheat lake

@hushed aurora Just not possible yet

We will find a way

hushed aurora

There is no way

strong rivet

grenade launcher is awesome

Can't go wrong with Free Stalker

I don't have one because I don't know about them

hushed aurora

If you're not sure, I'd suggest you to join the Free Stalkers for now

hushed aurora

in just checked and in the last 2 years

ive said the fudge word 11.3k times

im putting the effort in

#

i even added it to auto correct so it doesnt say it

native saffron
#

how much 5.45 should i take into pripyat?

grand pendant
#

you are playing modded, so prolly just 400

pseudo rivet
#

Oh kek

native saffron
#

no im vanilla

pseudo rivet
#

Oh, then 700 or so

native saffron
#

havent moded anything

grand pendant
#

vanilla SoC but you didn't know you can't fix guns smile_scar

#

or ig CoP, my bad if that's the case

pseudo rivet
#

And have a back-up 5.56 caliber rifle with about 400 5.56mm rounds

strong rivet
#

so i shouldnt just switch to 5.56x45 as main caliber?

native saffron
#

im taking the special VSS you get from nimble

strong rivet
#

cause im using that as main

#

and carry shotgun

native saffron
#

with like 400 or 500 9x39

grand pendant
#

you can, i switch guns all the time

pseudo rivet
#

Also possible

#

Just that 5.45mm is more common

native saffron
strong rivet
#

i just dont know which ammo ill encounter deeper into the zone

pseudo rivet
#

Definitely more 5.56

strong rivet
#

yes

grand pendant
#

thousands of 5.45 and 5.56

strong rivet
#

its european gun time

wheat lake
#

@pseudo rivet Because 5.45x39 is better obviously

strong rivet

also how accurate are the stats the game gives you in the inventory

native saffron

all the ammo

wheat lake
#

Not biased in any way

is there something im doing wrong or onlyon some weapons

#

#

SORRY

#

pseudo rivet
#

You pressed 9 and 0?

strong rivet
#

yeah

#

no change

grand pendant
#

also 5.45 in the Zone is kinda ass, corrosive ammo with most of the rookies probably not cleaning their guns until they pay technicians will hurt their spitters

pseudo rivet
#

Sounds unlikely

strong rivet
#

ahh i know why

#

im using numpad

native saffron
#

check binds

strong rivet
#

okay

wheat lake
#

@grand pendant Just get the anomaly that prevents corrosive ammo called its not in the game

strong rivet
#

is there a way to tell which firemode its in

#

or just guess

grand pendant

it says it on the hud

#

1/3 or A

#

or 2 in the AC-96/2 case

what

Or 2 for the AC-96/2

strong rivet

let me check

maybe im just an idiot
