[tired anvil]

Same, they know their place

[frail spire]

Also regarding suits, I remember suggesting a bunch of times to make npcs armor being switchable and their inventory system being more fleshed out

[tired anvil]

Inventory more fleshed out in what way?

[leaden hamlet]

Eh, depends on what they add. Loot boxes, MTX, horse armour? Go to hell. A new quest here-or-there, maybe a new mutant or weapon? Not a bad idea, so long as it's infrequent and free. Huge expansive new areas? Possibly, although I've often thought that if you go too big then you might as well just make another game. 😁

[frail spire]

So you can slap a fully upgraded suit on them

[sonic rampart]

I think the game should be full out of the box

[hushed aurora]

horse armour
Oblivion PTSD or smth?

[tired anvil]

A new quest here-or-there, maybe a new mutant or weapon? Not a bad idea, so long as it's infrequent and free. Huge expansive new areas? Possibly, although I've often thought that if you go too big then you might as well just make another game.

I would possibly agree, but I also made this point about it:
-If they add room for DLC and expansion packs and crap, that means the main story isn't ready and we would get a half baked product

The only way I could accept some more content for money would be a deluxe edition where you got an irl goodie or something

[leaden hamlet]

I'm of the mindset that games can still be full out-of-the-box, but can still get a brand new quest line here or there in the future.

[tired anvil]

And a dev interview or smth similar like with the CS deluxe edition for example

Nothing past that, or anything that affects the game

[frail spire]

Foreskin edition, $120 for a bolt

[sonic rampart]

I would like a deluxe edition box tbh

[hushed aurora]

Dunno how it would be implemented but sounds possible

[frail spire]

I wouldn't mind a post-game expansion

But it has to be post game

Not early nor mid game

[tired anvil]

Sidequest DLC sounds weird to me personally, idk

[leaden hamlet]

If they add room for DLC and expansion packs and crap, that means the main story isn't ready and we would get a half baked product
Traditionally, I'd say mostly true. But I reiterate:-
I'm of the mindset that games can still be full out-of-the-box, but can still get a brand new quest line here or there in the future.

[tired anvil]

Ig Post Game would seem more logical, but that will depend on the story ig

[sonic rampart]

Maybe a side story

Like playing as a different character

or like a free play thing

[frail spire]

Like, this is not gonna be a super long game like say Underrail in which devs could handle slapping a sidestory quest which was hueg

[leaden hamlet]

See I like that idea, but I'd say you might as well make a whole new game.

[tired anvil]

Regarding free play, I'd personally like that if/when you completed the game, you could just 100% turn off all the AI and be able to look at any building/area without any issues/bodies etc. Sort of like a photography mode

[sonic rampart]

I hope the game is upper 20 hours

[frail spire]

If anything goes for dlc it must be a post-game "main story" that helps tying down lose ends if the story has any

[sonic rampart]

maybe even more

[tired anvil]

I doubt it will be below 20h tbh

[hushed aurora]

50 Hours game

[sonic rampart]

The open world thing would kinda go to waste if the campaign is short

[hushed aurora]

[tired anvil]

Faction Wars 2.0

[frail spire]

Yeah I was gonna say that

[tired anvil]

@hushed aurora I am seeing this 6 times within the last minute now

[leaden hamlet]

As much as I'm not a fan of Half Life 1, I still think it did a pretty good job with expansions; two new games with new mechanics and features, two new story lines, fraction of the cost. Almost like how GSC did previously with SoC, then CS & CoP. 😁

[frail spire]

Maybe main game is linear as always and then by the end they release a faction wars dlc or expansion

[hushed aurora]

Gamedata broke, so rip

[frail spire]

Things are somewhat settled and player takes part of other faction since they're not tied to main story anymore

[tired anvil]

Yes, and GSC wants S2 to be a proper sequel, sort of crushing ideas for expansions I'd imagine

[sonic rampart]

Maybe implement Faction wars but not like a main story element

[tired anvil]

Idk, they're pretty important

[sonic rampart]

Depends

[tired anvil]

Though looking at the last official #📰┃announcement , it seems like everything will be a lot calmer

[leaden hamlet]

True, but their minds could change. Remember how SoC was supposed to be the only game, hence the slightly confusing ending involving pwetty flowers? 😁

[hushed aurora]

Could be like in CS, you didn't really had to take a part at them to complete the main game

[sonic rampart]

we don't know what faction Skif is from

[frail spire]

Main story must be it's own thing, so it doesn't disrupts you from doing stuff

[tired anvil]

Reading this, it seems like the 3 main factions are pretty much collapsed

[frail spire]

Yooooo

[tired anvil]

Might be more group orientated ig

[leaden hamlet]

If they're gonna have a faction system akin to the previous ones, then they have to be a Loner cos then they can actually join the others.

[tired anvil]

Sort of like a huge emission just made everything within the Zone collapse and it's sort of recovering

[frail spire]

So an apocalypse within the apocalypse, cool

[leaden hamlet]

Dunno where you got that from. 🤔

[sonic rampart]

What's the third faction tho

[frail spire]

Lets go for that post-soviet-post-post apolacyptic feeling

[leaden hamlet]

Think he means Banditos

[sonic rampart]

maybe

[hushed aurora]

Monolith, Duty and Freedom

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frail spire]

Oh baby bandits gone? Time for going full renegade

[tired anvil]

The ending of CoP and the post by McCulkin

And I meant Monolith

[sonic rampart]

Ahh

[hushed aurora]

Those are the three mayor ones

Yeah

[frail spire]

Thank god, a zone free of weedomers and dootiers

[leaden hamlet]

But which ending.
And okay yeah, Monolith are definitely gone or going. You're right there.

[sonic rampart]

Yeah monolith could have fallen apart

[frail spire]

The zone now can truly heal

[sonic rampart]

Tbh i hope they return

propaganda over the loudspeakers too

[frail spire]

inb4 we get a fusion between duty and freedom
PLEASE GOD NO

[leaden hamlet]

* Checks faction*
*"Bandits"*

[sonic rampart]

That couldn't really happen

[hushed aurora]

That is pmuch impossible

[frail spire]

Bandits are just amoral stalkers

[hushed aurora]

Completely impossible

[leaden hamlet]

Or step aside for something worse. 😉

[hushed aurora]

Dutyers and Freedomers leaving to That i could see

[frail spire]

Guys I'm doubling down for an amazon-like faction

[sonic rampart]

Amazon as tribals or the company

[sand oar]

Imagine tribal versions of monolith

[leaden hamlet]

What like the Shamans?

[frail spire]

Or maybe some mutant communities

[sonic rampart]

Literally the tribals from the start of fallout 2

[sand oar]

Never played

Or watched

[frail spire]

Casul

[leaden hamlet]

Fracture Community when? 😆

[sand oar]

Stalker

Fallout is wallmart stalker

[frail spire]

Imagine accidentally stepping into a village of controllers

[sand oar]

[tired anvil]

The one mentioning Freedom and Duty members sorta going away

[sand oar]

[hushed aurora]

Mutant communities

How

Internet died for a sec

[frail spire]

Controllers and burers aren't brainless idiots

[finite dragon]

Fallout 1 and 2 > any other fallout game

[sand oar]

My internet dying too

[leaden hamlet]

GSC refused to comment on which CoP ending was canon though (and now Coffee's here so maybe we should pause for a sec...).

[leaden hamlet]

Or Fractures

[frail spire]

Iirc there was a comic of a controller and a burer betting if a controlled stalker would kill a regular one

[tired anvil]

Things don't have to be confirmed for guesses

[sonic rampart]

Or bloodsucker lairs

[leaden hamlet]

Oh yeah, forgot about that. 😁

[finite dragon]

Controller supremacists

[leaden hamlet]

Fracture Lairs

[sand oar]

Dw my dads in a mood today ill only be on and off for a few mins depends on how aggravated i get

[leaden hamlet]

(I'll stop now I promise)

[frail spire]

Maybe we get another c-con but with a bunch of controllers commandering a swarm of snorks

[hushed aurora]

Yeah but i don't really see that happening in the actual game

[tired anvil]

We aren't responsible for any spoilers fyi

[sand oar]

Ik

Dw

[frail spire]

Also fractures if they do make an appearance they should be fairly rare

[sonic rampart]

And be more deadly

even tho they are really skinny

that arm could pack a punch

[frail spire]

Also theres the whole mutant population thing

[sonic rampart]

tbh

[frail spire]

I get mutated animals reproducing but I doubt about the others

[leaden hamlet]

Perhaps with the abilities to climb, throw, grab, and use debris as shielding?

[sonic rampart]

didn't the zone expand after every emission

[tired anvil]

Still don't get how that thing will climb with 1 hand

Would break his back trying to grab with ladder with the other

Unless he magically swings up with 1 which just sounds too yikes for me

[frail spire]

Forget about climbing, just grab a wood plank and charge at us like a god damn legionare

[sonic rampart]

iirc wasn't it like 10km after every emission

[tired anvil]

Zone doesn't expand

[leaden hamlet]

Depends how strong the hand is, and you're assuming the granddad-looking mother who can restrain and clobber the crud out of someone has average human strength.

[sonic rampart]

Strange

[tired anvil]

No, I'm assuming he would break his back trying to reach the ladder with his other hand due to how bulky the first one is

[frail spire]

Just make it have stupid range via stabbing

[sonic rampart]

Hmm i'm reading the wiki page for the emissions and it says after the first one the zone expanded with 5 km

[frail spire]

Theres regular emissions and big ones

[leaden hamlet]

Eh, not necessarily. Could just use the smaller arm to hold while pulling himself up with the super arm, kinda like how monkeys climb if they're carrying stuff. 🤔

[frail spire]

I think only the big ones made it grow

Because it was world-ending kind of emissions

[leaden hamlet]

The wiki ain't always accurate. The Zone expanding is just a rumour, at least at this point.

(It's beginning to show that, even though I also quite like the idea of Karliks coming back, I've given S2 Fractures a lot more thought!) 😆

[tired anvil]

@leaden hamlet And what about these bad boys?

[leaden hamlet]

Climb the outside of them?

[frail spire]

Remember that fractures even if strong they're basically crippled old men

[tired anvil]

Then you can just hide in it

I mean I'm pretty sure they're also supposed to be passive (for the most part)

[frail spire]

Dunno, the idea of getting skewed while in there doesn't sounds nice

[leaden hamlet]

I don't really think that matters, considering they can literally restrain you one-handed and batter the crud out of you.

[tired anvil]

It does if they will fall apart after running 15m

[sonic rampart]

I think that's overthinking

[leaden hamlet]

Yeah, okay. But what if this time they chose VIOLENCE? 😁

[frail spire]

They may be strong but being crippled due to anatomy makes their strength moot

[sonic rampart]

I wonder if there will be gore in the game

Like shooting a guy point blank with a shotgun

[frail spire]

Dunno about gore but theres gonna be a bunch of death

So it matters little to me

[tired anvil]

My 2nd run will be a pacifist run

[frail spire]

The only thing I even remotely care about gore is about making enemies bleed

Because my god

[leaden hamlet]

Again, assuming the weird long-necked, longer-armed grandpa possesses strength and dexterity of your average human, which is more than likely not gonna be the case. On account of, you know, the weird long-neck and longer-arm. 🙃 🤣

[sonic rampart]

Just shoot an Izlom in the knee and it is gone

i mean it barely moves as it is

[frail spire]

get shot by a crappy 9mm while having a maxed ballistic protection
still bleed
shoot at them with hollow points
not even a minuscule DoT

Screw this

[tired anvil]

No, he agrees that he's stronger, but he's not that much stronger when his body is messed up

[frail spire]

Like, you can be strong ad dexterous all you want, but if you can't even make a sprint or jump then you're kinda screwed

Which is why snorks are aids despite not being that strong

Snorks are like the komodo dragons of stalker, a bite literally gives you super aids

[sonic rampart]

Realistically

getting bit from everything in the zone would give you mega AIDS

[leaden hamlet]

I kinda like how the current three handle this, death is almost never spectacular, like in real life, except where gravitational anomalies (or anomalies in general) are concerned. If the Zone itself is about the only thing than can reduce a person to sticky pate then it kinda showcases just how nasty it really is.

[frail spire]

A good detail though would be dead stalkers having smashed glasses or red holes

[sonic rampart]

Broken visors too

[frail spire]

Of course nothing too detailed since people will give it a slight glance at most

[rotund fox]

It's BFT bro

[frail spire]

Unless you're one of those graphics coomers who likes to count the cracks on the road

[sonic rampart]

Come on, admiring the model work isn't that bad

I wonder how HD Sid will look

[scarlet oracle]

just bought SOC cant wait for my balls to be ground into a fine powder by mutant bullet dogs half my size

[frail spire]

That name tho

[tired anvil]

Lmfao

[rotund fox]

average twitch user?

[frail spire]

implying twitch users even know what stalker is

[scarlet oracle]

depends on who they watch

[rotund fox]

idk a few of them might stumble out of their trash bin every now and then and find it

[frail spire]

Gotta find more things to simp for

[sonic rampart]

I love old games, so even if i was a new player right now i would still find them somehow

[tired anvil]

Gachi man streamed Stalker so some do

[sonic rampart]

I wonder if Clear sky as a faction will return

They are one of the most popular factions so they ought to right?

[rotund fox]

no

[sonic rampart]

Sad

Maybe at least a mention

[tired anvil]

I mean, how do you count popularity

They appeared in 1 game so technically the least popular

[rotund fox]

they are pretty much all but confirmed to be killed off at this point

Although introducing and killing a faction off in a single game is a strange move

I don't think anyone can deny that tbh

[tired anvil]

Closest thing you can get to a chance of CS

[sonic rampart]

Wait

monolith had backers

[rotund fox]

Best you can do is hope for one of the new factions to be a good replacement for CS

[tired anvil]

That's more of a guess tbh. We don't really know who supplies them and how they get anything

[leaden hamlet]

Always assumed it was acquired via The Group or CC, when the latter was still running. It's even said in CoP that "the ones responsible are still out there", which I always inferred as talking about The Group.

[sonic rampart]

Kinda changing the theme

but i hope the scopes are 3D

or PiP

or whatever it's called

[rotund fox]

...in a open world game?

It's just unnecessary strain on the engine tbh

[sonic rampart]

Idk

having a 2d screenshot for a scope is kinda lame in 2021

i am not trying to say anything bad

but it will be really stupid when they are going for realism

maybe have it as an option in the settings

so if someone wants they could turn on the 2d scopes

[rotund fox]

I doubt they have capability to tweak the engine so hard to give us both tbh

I don't expect 2 to be Tarkov clone(and it shouldn't) so yea some areas might be lacking probably

[sonic rampart]

Yeah i would hate to see S2 be compared to EFT

[tired anvil]

Yet their gun porn comments are starting to give off that impression

[sonic rampart]

I mean

not every game that has a lot of gun porn is EFT

even tho they cemented it as a gameplay mechanic

I mean

what if S2 does it better

[tired anvil]

Then kudos to them

[sonic rampart]

That's a pretty big what if tho

[tired anvil]

Technically possible as well, but we know too little

[rotund fox]

In all due fairness STALKER is a FPS first and foremost

So getting down the correct feel of gunplay and making the weapons not be garbage to handle is kind of a big deal

[tired anvil]

I mean hell, if they do make it have 50 modifications for each gun or whatever, I honestly won't mind

Not like it will limit my gameplay, it'll only give more options for the gun enthusiasts

[finite dragon]

seems like an FPS-RPG when you look at the FAQ on stalker2 site.

choices and consequences etc.

[tired anvil]

Sorta what it's always been one way or another tbh

[finite dragon]

completely different type of game than EFT.

[sonic rampart]

Wonder if the choices thing will be as impactful as in the original Deus Ex

[tired anvil]

Definitely, but mechanics are sorta a different deal

[frail spire]

I will be happy with modifications having visual impact

If it's something like materials replacement

[sonic rampart]

Btw is anything known about the 23/2 on the trailer character's backpack

[tired anvil]

This is all we know

[sonic rampart]

Hmm

This kinda hypes me up

dunno why

[tired anvil]

Microsoft will have an event regarding AI on this day, but I highly doubt that Stalker will be related to it in any way

[sonic rampart]

Imo if they are teasing us like that something is bound to happen on 23rd

why would they say that in the first place if something interesting or cool wasn't gonna happen

[tired anvil]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Inb4 another sale

[sonic rampart]

[sand oar]

Wait a minute

Joining freedom in SoC is a bug?

[hazy helm]

yhea

[sand oar]

I did it first try ._.

I thought it was kinda weird cuz i failed the mission like Hard

[sonic rampart]

I've never bothered with joining factions in SoC

[sand oar]

I literally did everything wrong except for killing the snitch or wtv

[sand oar]

I did it by accident

I only did it to see if i could get a cool artifact or some extra cash

[sonic rampart]

F

[tired anvil]

You're far better off joining factions in Clear Sky

[sand oar]

Was fun massacuring duty tho

[tired anvil]

Pretty sure Freedom gives you an Exo for doing some stuff

[sand oar]

Im probably gonna join freedom again anyway

Cuz they poggers

[verbal hemlock]

thankfully all the canon options are staying neutral

[tired anvil]

[sand oar]

Damn then ill stay netural

I wanna try and get the canon ending first try

I failed that hard in soc

[verbal hemlock]

Clear Sky basically directs you to be neutral, you help both Duty and Freedom in Agroprom and in the Dark Valley

[hazy helm]

ahah

[verbal hemlock]

and once you help them get out of their respective dire situations they start peeing on each other

[tired anvil]

I can guarantee you that you'll get the canon ending in Clear Sky first try

[sand oar]

Ty all wise daddy tomato for giving me knowledge

[tired anvil]

[verbal hemlock]

and less wise daddy Strider

[sand oar]

Kek

[tired anvil]

He has some time before he meets Strider

[verbal hemlock]

Yes

But he’ll love him and his crew

(everyone does!)

[tired anvil]

So here's some more advise. Save up 15k Rubles and don't leave the swamps until you purchase a suit called the CS-1

[frail spire]

Daddy Gajunas

[sand oar]

._.

[verbal hemlock]

oh man

unmodded

[sand oar]

I left already

[tired anvil]

There's also a detector where the red box is and a nice gun where the green box is

[verbal hemlock]

machine gun fun

[tired anvil]

Oh you left already? Shame

[verbal hemlock]

A detector and a gravi

Go back!

[sand oar]

Ok

[verbal hemlock]

imagine leaving renegades alive in the swamps

renegade genocide time

[tired anvil]

Max out your rep with Clear Sky, get 15k Rubles and buy the CS-1 suit

[sand oar]

I have to run past the machine gun again

[tired anvil]

[verbal hemlock]

No

[tired anvil]

So you got past him once already, right?

[verbal hemlock]

Go past the bridge and go left

[sand oar]

Can i do this without committing 100% to that faction

[verbal hemlock]

An entrance back to swamps

um

you’re committed to Clear Sky through the whole game whether you want to or not

they’re your homies

[tired anvil]

You help them, you don't join them, yes

[sand oar]

Ok

[tired anvil]

There's that btw

[verbal hemlock]

Yes

[frail spire]

All games are canon neutral so I wouldn't suggest picking sides

Or you'll end up with issues like certain game down the line where you need to convince certain guy with certain group

[tired anvil]

[frail spire]

Honestly rep juggling is a needed skill

[tired anvil]

Diplomat achievement

Speaking of achievements though, I wonder how they'll implement them into the trilogy, because apparently GSC wants to do that

[sonic rampart]

wdym by implementing achievements in the trilogy

Steam achievements on all stalker or?

[tired anvil]

Yea, Steam achievements on the first 3 games

[hazy helm]

I can't speak russian yet

[tired anvil]

Translation:
Q: “Hello are there plans to support the original stalker after the release of s2 by patches etc etc etc”
A: “Hello. We have a list of ideas to make achievements in Steam, but when it will be implemented, it's too early to say”

Then I step in and say:
“Hello, if the translator is not lying to me, then you mean in-game achievements for the original trilogy on Steam?”
And someone answered me that I understood correctly

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/moist-critical-gif-18538102

I'll be able to 100% my favourite games soon

[tired anvil]

Inb4 the big thing on the 23rd is the Steam achievements

Tbh I'd be fine with that though

[sonic rampart]

Yeah i think it would be cool too

more reasons to replay the trilogy

[leaden hamlet]

Cossacks 4

[tired anvil]

Oblivion Lost

[leaden hamlet]

Oblivion Lost REMASTERED 😱

[sonic rampart]

Firestarter brought to steam

[tired anvil]

Can't say I haven't asked for that

[leaden hamlet]

Entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise coming to Nintendo Switch

[sonic rampart]

that would be neat tbh

[leaden hamlet]

Or even worse, they decide to do a map showcase, and the map they choose to showcase turns out to be Darkscape. Community begins collectively trying to hunt me down because of this. 🤣

[hazy helm]

time to give all the nintendo 5 year olds nightmares

well I dunno how to format in discord need to look at the cheat sheet again

[leaden hamlet]

Use squigglies! ➡️ ~~Like this~~

[hazy helm]

o hell,where are those in my 60% again

time to bring the manual out again

[leaden hamlet]

And use backslashes ( \ ) to make the asterisks appear!

[hazy helm]

yhea the backlash is the normal action when using C++ so I got that covered

tho I'd rather not remember my gripes with that language so

[leaden hamlet]

So \*Like this*\

[tired anvil]

5 bucks if during dev diaries the first map they show is Darkscape

[leaden hamlet]

That you giving me 5 bucks or visa versa? 😆
And wait which dev diaries? 😯

[hazy helm]

theyre gonna make dev diaries?

[tired anvil]

Me giving you 5 bucks if GSC shows Darkscape as the first thing when they roll out dev diaries

[tired anvil]

Yes

[hazy helm]

[sonic rampart]

F yeah

Wait but if the map is fully open world

wouldn't it be more of a location

than a map

[tired anvil]

Which is why I'm so confident in the bet

[leaden hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/clever-girl-jurassic-park-gif-18793569

(And I nearly said "yes" to that!) 😆

[sonic rampart]

I kind of want to know how they will implement the old maps in the open world

[hazy helm]

honestly they dont even need to make new maps,just transport the old ones and make the transitions smooth

[tired anvil]

Well, there's nothing really for you to loose other than being wrong, Viper

[hazy helm]

tho bringing back the cut ones would be awesome

[tired anvil]

Which cut ones specifically?

[leaden hamlet]

I'd imagine it's just gonna be plop the map in then cover the surrounding bits with grass & nature & stuff. 😁

[tired anvil]

'cause def not all of them would be good

[hazy helm]

all

[grand pendant]

buildosoldats will kill ourselves if they just bring back cut maps

already played them

[hazy helm]

I mean,generators was a good one honestly

[tired anvil]

Milrad

Though Generators could be cool, yeah

[leaden hamlet]

Can't wait to play Deadmil and Darkscape.

[hazy helm]

I still need to play all of the all the builds

I played the earliest,the latest and 1510

[leaden hamlet]

Especially if MWL is beneath it!

[tired anvil]

MWL?

[solid dome]

Bruh

[wicked current]

well, the anomalies change their positions. this can be exploited by the developers and create invisible walls of sorts.

[solid dome]

Dunno what to play

[leaden hamlet]

"Monolith War Lab", aka not-X-8.

[tired anvil]

I don't see why you would connect X-8 to that

[hazy helm]

aren't all labs connected tho?haha

[leaden hamlet]

Cos the War Lab was literally copy-pasted for X-8 in CoP?

[tired anvil]

Well the more you know

[sonic rampart]

Interestingly in the anomaly generators map there is a lab that can be accessed from the normal map which is an empty mix of all labs

[tired anvil]

Never realised it was an identical layout

[leaden hamlet]

Oh wow, I thought you'd of known that. Yeah there's like one or two rooms extra in the MWL compared to X-8 but the layout is more-or-less identical.

[grand pendant]

only in desdocs, every lab is connected by underground tunnels

[hazy helm]

yhea

[leaden hamlet]

(MUCH better lighting though, it's like X-8 but with the proper awesome atmospheric OLR lighting!)

(Now there's a feature I want back)

Also; hiya @grand pendant ! How're you doing, mate?

[grand pendant]

groovin'

[leaden hamlet]

Sweet! 😁

[hazy helm]

tho anomaly's mission,preemptive strike,is a pain in the ass man

[sonic rampart]

i don't even remember what mission that was

[hazy helm]

I think thats my fault of using a nomad suit tho

and going around doing missions

I'll need to be set back by quite a lot and buy some good equipment

[past shuttle]

Is there a full image of the whole zone?

Like all the maps combined or something?

[solid dome]

A map of it?

Yeah, I had it around

[past shuttle]

I also found one

But I'm not entirely sure about it

[solid dome]

Post it

I have one on the laptop

[past shuttle]

Where?

[solid dome]

Too lazy to fire it up atm

DM

[past shuttle]

Alright

Turns out, the one I have here is taken from the game files

[past shuttle]

Interesting

[solid dome]

Someone else might have the full one

Though 50% of server asleep already

Most of us are europeans

[past shuttle]

Well, I knew that already

I dont live far from Europe anyway

So it is pretty much the same for me

[verbal hemlock]

Yo can I get one of those full zone maps?

[hushed aurora]

@pseudo rivet You got one right?

[tired anvil]

@verbal hemlock

[verbal hemlock]

Thanks man

I could’ve sworn I saw one that had all three games

[leaden hamlet]

Anomaly & CoC Frankenstein's all three game maps into one.

But it ain't canon.

[verbal hemlock]

Right

[tired anvil]

There's plenty of unofficial versions like this one

[verbal hemlock]

That was it!

[tired anvil]

Also one with CoP's map at the south, trying to find that

[verbal hemlock]

Yeah the position of CoP confuses me

[leaden hamlet]

Canonically, it's supposed to be towards the North, really near to Pripyat (duh). But no official location has ever been given.

[tired anvil]

Another unofficial one

[verbal hemlock]

that is cool but nooooo way

[wicked current]

we discussed once how pripyat is geographically north of the power plant if you follow the river.

i wonder if they're gonna do anything about it in S2

[tired anvil]

I wonder how they'll do anything with places like Duga included now

[leaden hamlet]

HAH! Pripyat Underground taking about 30 minute to walk but being 13 miles long is the real anomaly! 😆

[tired anvil]

Well, you can walk ~6km/h. Running shouldn't be a problem

[leaden hamlet]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[wind agate]

Whats up everyone, new to STALKER, learning and figuring things out!

[hushed aurora]

Nice

[leaden hamlet]

Nothing much, just lying in bed swearing cos my dang shoulder is hurting again. How about you?

[acoustic parcel]

play some sdalger and all your pains will magically go away. that is, until xray decides to crash.

[verbal hemlock]

Hey man, welcome to the crew. Watch out for the anomalies and the mutants, but most of all watch out for the people! at least the mutants have the decency to stab you in the front... most of the time anyway!

[hushed aurora]

[verbal hemlock]

[frail spire]

front the front
Oh you poor fool

[gusty trench]

Freedom spread its propaganda on their base in the Dark Valley... For who? The whole location is full by mercs and Freedom members-only. Also Freedom doesn't let everybody go through.

Clear Sky, huh

[verbal hemlock]

Duty in SoC blasts so much repetitive Propaganda into Rostok that even someone who is simply passing through has every message burned into their brains

Clear Sky isn’t alone in being stupid!

[pseudo rivet]

Remember when Nitro made a jammer and the megaphones stopped working?

Good times

[gusty trench]

That makes sense. Like. Bar is visited by many stalkers. Freedom base - only one - Mercenary Scar

[verbal hemlock]

well yeah I know that

but it’s the same few lines repeated dozens of times every hour

[tired anvil]

Ashot and Yar.

[gusty trench]

They are the Red Army, you know

[verbal hemlock]

“You’re making the whole base sound like a used car dealership!”

I love Yar in CoP even though he’s really only in one quest

“I bet you’re bustling with questions!”

[tired anvil]

He gives you some free stuff so he good

[gusty trench]

He also takes small parts in some side quests... But anyway.

[tired anvil]

Tiniest bit of hope

[gusty trench]

"If you want Freedom, join Freedom to lose it" :cringeyes:

[steady arch]

false!

cring dutier!

[verbal hemlock]

I’m imagining we’ll see a lot of our favorite characters return

maybe some people will be disappointed that their favorites don’t, but I think we’ll see a lot of our homies

Nimble better make a return, I’ll say that much lol

[tired anvil]

Flint

[pseudo yoke]

that map doesnt make sense

Jupiter is North of The Red Forest

but on that map its south of it?

Bad map

[gusty trench]

Clear Sky is really something. Lmao

[finite dragon]

Bro

I was driving a car once and then 2 lurkers start growling and then they're right next to me and I'm actually saying "wtf is that" out loud then i run them over

One time i was in wild territory and i was passing through the wall thingy near the thing to go to rostok, then i hear this thumping noise coming from inside and then I'm like it's probably a body glitching out or smth

I look inside and its a flesh alive and well and i actually scream for a second before ahooting it with shotgun and then my younger brother comes up to me like " are you ok"

[frail spire]

"Are ya winning bro"
confused screamings and flesh moans

[still ridge]

Tbh I’m the most interested in strider

and his new faction

[past shuttle]

Which complete game map is the best?

There are a few unofficial ones, though

I wonder which one fits the game series the most

[gusty trench]

Complete... game map?

[past shuttle]

I mean, all the three maps mashed together but in the correct way, which is the one I'm looking for

@gusty trench

[gusty trench]

🤔

[leaden hamlet]

I want the Dark Stalkers / Sin to make an appearance 😀

[pseudo yoke]

Look at an actual map of the Zone

[gusty trench]

#👥┃faction-choice

[upbeat orbit]

tank u

[meager plover]

Sin is one of those factions that would 100% work

since it ain't clear if the monolith disbanded after CoP

[lapis yew]

I'm kinda curious of STALKER 2 would have thermal goggles as an endgame item. Would be great on dealing with cloaked bloodsuckers.

[shadow drift]

im kinda curious if stalker 2 will even come out

[toxic vector]

so bloodsuckers arent cold blood mutant

[hazy helm]

thermals?

[lapis yew]

ye

[hazy helm]

I dunno man

in the zone?

[hushed aurora]

Well there are night visión googles already, dunno if thermals would be too hard to obtain

[lapis yew]

Now that you mention it, thermals would be a little OP since they'll spot anomalies and other things as well.

[hazy helm]

well but nightvision is less expesive and an older tech

but thermals?

that looks to be really high tech stuff

[hushed aurora]

Why would they spot anomalies other than burners

[wicked current]

would definitely be an expensive addition.

however i don't see why they would not be in the game.

[hazy helm]

yhea they'd be mostly useless if you aren't trynna find idiots on the fields

[vivid basalt]

Dev stream when

[toxic vector]

better late than rushed game

[hushed aurora]

They wouldnt be common at all, just expensive and rare af, and ig it would work

[toxic vector]

i dont want to see another cyberjunk

[hazy helm]

or maybe theyd be used just like in Arma 3 and I'd shot a bunch of bunnies bc I though they were hostiles

[hushed aurora]

[hazy helm]

it was my first try okay?

[lapis yew]

Heh

But yeah, I think thermals would be a great addition, if a little OP in some cases, but hey, if it can make hunting bloodsuckers a little easier, then it works.

[hazy helm]

what are you,a duty member? I am more afraid of snorks than of bloodsuckers all the way

[lapis yew]

And also, I haven't played Clear Sky, but I heard there's a glitch for NVG's that allows you to see cloaked Bloodsuckers.

[hushed aurora]

Depends

[lapis yew]

Well friends with Duty

[hushed aurora]

Because snorks can be killed easioyt

Easily*

[hazy helm]

well if you can shoot them,a close range snork is a problem

[lapis yew]

I'm more afraid of enemies that suddenly appears out of nowhere and that's the bloodsuccs

[hushed aurora]

Only are a real threat when theres too many

[lapis yew]

Snorks is less issue especially if you use shotguns

[hazy helm]

bloodsuckers I could always evade,but it was more tricky to do so when theres many

[hushed aurora]

||Like in the Tank of CS Red Forest||

[hazy helm]

sniper squad

[lapis yew]

Or that

Sniped plenty of Snorks myself

[hazy helm]

problem is

that when they are close or many

[hushed aurora]

AK sniping gang

[hazy helm]

oof

[lapis yew]

AS Val/VSS Vintorez gang

[hazy helm]

my boi youve made my day

[hushed aurora]

Vintar BC gang

[lapis yew]

Yeah, any mutants in high numbers are a threat.

[hazy helm]

unless the rats

[lapis yew]

Why do you think the common dogs can be quite the pain.

[hazy helm]

[hushed aurora]

Rats are Deadly af wdym

[lapis yew]

Yeah, they smol and sometimes hard to hit and see

[hazy helm]

I ain't ever been killed by a brandon man

[lean igloo]

you should try to kill a bloodsucker with knife

[lapis yew]

No

[hushed aurora]

Hámsters are sorta useless since they can die extremely easy tho

[hazy helm]

duty terror intensifiess

[hushed aurora]

Psure Ive done it

[lapis yew]

Too afraid to even get close to bloodsucc village

[hushed aurora]

Spent like 5 medkits

[hazy helm]

coward

charge onward

[hushed aurora]

But ive done it

[lean igloo]

3

[hazy helm]

and leave some quicksaves

[lapis yew]

I just spray them with bullets or pump them with a shotgun

I prefer shooting my enemy from afar, that sniper VAL does wonders from all ranges.

[leaden hamlet]

Honestly, I'd imagine a lot of the anomalies in the Zone produce heat at some level. Heat is just a form of radiation, don't forget, a means for matter to shed excess energy & reach stability.

[finite dragon]

Anomalies can be used as a form of energy, just like artefacts

theory

a really long lasting form of energy

imagine a vehicle running on an electro anomaly

probably would b weird

how are you gonna hook up wires to the anomaly

i guess that is why you would use artefacts

[past shuttle]

@finite dragon That's very interesting though

Using anomalies as sources of energy

Neat

[finite dragon]

Bloodsucker+knife=fun

[past shuttle]

I shoot ammos first, if it becomes useless, I try to stab those bloodsuccers

[finite dragon]

I never shoot them

Only knife

[past shuttle]

Knife deals a good amount of damage

[finite dragon]

And sometimes I just like to let them slap me

[past shuttle]

@finite dragon

[finite dragon]

Noooooo

[past shuttle]

You seem like a freedoomer

I'm not quite sure

[finite dragon]

I hate freedom

Free stalkers for life

[median wind]

I will say nothing about what you just said

[past shuttle]

[median wind]

I hate you all

Just

[finite dragon]

[median wind]

Wolf and Nimble are homies for ever

[finite dragon]

Join us

[past shuttle]

What one can expect from a monolithian to say something positive anyway?

[median wind]

All other factions his juste false only the monolith is true

And wolf and Nimble cause there are homies but they don't count

[past shuttle]

Strider's group was a coincidence

[median wind]

(for real I don't hate anyone actually just the duty is a little down on my respect list but I love everyone in the zone)

[past shuttle]

Dutiers: "Freedoomers"
Freedomers: "Dooty"

Endless battle

[median wind]

Well the bandits are some times [censored] but they can be good

It's pretty fun to see your war from afar I must say

[finite dragon]

The bandits can be annoying

[median wind]

I picture it like the and of Métal Gear solid 4

Yeah really annoying

But hey

[tired anvil]

Bandits spawned a meme that has been going on since 2007 and hasn't showed major signs of stopping

[finite dragon]

It will never stop

[median wind]

With the good equipment they are juste nuisances

Chekky brekky my dude

[tired anvil]

.

It'll only get revived in S2

[median wind]

Yes

I hope that the game crache from Time to time just for good old day sake

[tired anvil]

Personally I don't

[finite dragon]

I the game crashes when I go to loot just for the extra challenge

[tired anvil]

Knowing a modern game, it will take my PC with it if it dies

[median wind]

Like in the configuration there is a button (crash the game randomly) [yes] [no]

[finite dragon]

Exploding pc

[median wind]

It's because your PC is not Vodka cooling

[finite dragon]

If it doesn’t a mod needs to add that

[median wind]

YES

[tired anvil]

[median wind]

We all know that some one will do it anyway

AH YES the good old machine gun

[finite dragon]

Mod for machine gun death barrier out of spawn

[median wind]

What would a good stalker game if there was no machine gun killing you in two shot that you have to Sprint across

[tired anvil]

I guess only one is good then

[finite dragon]

If there wasn’t I wouldn’t even consider it as a stalker game

[median wind]

XD yes only one

[finite dragon]

There is only one stalker game

[median wind]

The most hated by all

[hushed aurora]

Not right, but not wrong

[median wind]

Clear sky

[hushed aurora]

Not all

I don't hate it

[tired anvil]

I love it

[finite dragon]

The best...

We all do

[median wind]

Yes THE 🅱️EST

[finite dragon]

Hey no sarcasm

[median wind]

With no sarcasm form me

It's the more full of information and lore, he can be tricky some times but it's kinda cool

[finite dragon]

I like how the pistol doesn’t aim down sights

[median wind]

I don't LOVE I'M cause ... Well I played the first one when I was a kid and it's my favorite
And I find the number of ending of the last one just awesome (I just love to see everyone have is happy ever after)
But yeah he is at least on my top 3

[finite dragon]

yeah

Finally someone agrees with me

[median wind]

The free stalker are my 3 choice

[finite dragon]

you could actually solve a lot of world problems with things from the zone

[finite dragon]

Monolith are my second

Bandits third

[median wind]

Monolith
Freedom
Free stalker
Mercenary
Duty
Military
Bandits
Scientist
Clear sky

[finite dragon]

free stalkers first choice
monolith second
Clear Sky
Ecologist
Merc

i like to do clear sky stuff

Free stalker
Monolith
Bandits
Military
Ecologists
Duty
Merc
Clear sky
Freedom

they are like the scientists plus the loners

Freedom smell

[median wind]

They are ecologist+

I don't agree

They are just "destroying the zone do not work so ... Why not try to live with ?"

[finite dragon]

furdom

[median wind]

And for remember one of the freedom fighter try to eat you up in the freedom base, well at least he tells you that you look eatable

[finite dragon]

Freedom are weird

[median wind]

Well not as weird ase monolith

[finite dragon]

[finite dragon]

Monolith are cool

[tired anvil]

[median wind]

And if you check my classification you see that I love weird things

[wary cove]

Rocc gang

[desert flame]

Who is rocc

Oh

Nvm

[tired anvil]

Seems like I found the most efficient way to summon you

[median wind]

Ah the family as arrived

[desert flame]

[median wind]

[desert flame]

How’s clear sky?

[finite dragon]

Good

[desert flame]

I just started it

[median wind]

At least on my top 3

[desert flame]

And it’s pretty fun

[finite dragon]

Above freedom

[median wind]

(yes I like that joke ok)

[finite dragon]

fun

[median wind]

It's a hell scape but with fun

[finite dragon]

clear sky was more fun imo

than shoc

cop third

[wary cove]

I may or may not have one of these scrap metal antennas they pray to

[finite dragon]

Call of Pripyat was really close to shoc

[tired anvil]

CS, CoP and SoC for me

[finite dragon]

fair\

[tired anvil]

[desert flame]

[finite dragon]

stalker anomaly best mod
now be angry

[tired anvil]

At least you didn't call it a game

[desert flame]

What is a good mod to try out

[tired anvil]

Like this fella

[median wind]

SoC (cause I was very little wen I first played it)
CoP (cause I love the Happy ever after give me a break)
And CS (cause GOD that one is full )

[tired anvil]

Full?

[finite dragon]

i played call of pripyat first

[tired anvil]

[finite dragon]

when i was 11

[desert flame]

I played ShoC, CoP, and now playing CS

[median wind]

I was like 5 or 7 I don't remember well enough

[tired anvil]

I played in the actually good order

SoC, CS and CoP

[finite dragon]

i watched a video on what to play first and then i got confused and played cop first

[median wind]

Me two actually

[finite dragon]

i was 11 3 years ago : )

[median wind]

My brother had CoP but wouldn't let me play and one day I got by mistake the collector metal version of CS

[desert flame]

By mistake?

[finite dragon]

i actually pirated CoP at first, then i pirated CS, then i bought CoP and Shoc from steam

[tired anvil]

“Oh sorry, I accidentally hacked the Stalker 2 builds, yea don't mind me, this stuff is pretty good”

[median wind]

I mistake it for SoC cause I didn't knew the artwork of the game, I was like 8 or 9 and I didn't see a single box of the stalker games

[finite dragon]

i was playing minecraft when i was 8

i still play minecraft today a biy

bit

[desert flame]

I didn’t even have a computer when I was 8

[tired anvil]

Never was amused by Minecraft personally

Not in 2009, not in 2021

[median wind]

... my first memory is about a computer so ......

[finite dragon]

damn

[desert flame]

I don’t see the point of playing a game like Minecraft alone

I usually got bored

[tired anvil]

YouTube money

[finite dragon]

its fun with mod

mods

[desert flame]

Probably

[finite dragon]

its fun to play creative mode

[desert flame]

Put I was on a cracked PE version

But*

[median wind]

I know one or two mods that make the game fun

[finite dragon]

the game to me has always been kind of fun

[median wind]

But I usually crack the out of theme and enter creative mode by mistake

[finite dragon]

i used to play with my younger brothers on ps4

then they got the Switch

[gusty trench]

Thanks for putting them on the right path

[finite dragon]

i wish they got the Ps5 then got Mw 2019 then we couldve played together

[median wind]

Ivan edit you out of is friend list

[gusty trench]

Some people are really brainlet

[finite dragon]

me

[tired anvil]

It's what more than half of my time spent on Reddit is like

Which isn't much

[median wind]

It could be a game but it's a stand alone mode with a luncher

[desert flame]

“Anomaly is the true stalker experience”

[finite dragon]

i think it is fun

[median wind]

Yes and no

[finite dragon]

it is well made imo

looks nice

runs nice on my pc

nice gunplay

some survival elements

but

[median wind]

Like really I can make it the wors game ever or the best game ever

[finite dragon]

it is kind of too easy

most of my deaths are just me walking into electros

[woeful lynx]

Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat and I played them all day one.

[finite dragon]

dang

[median wind]

You are not a real stalker if you don't die at least once on e anomaly

[woeful lynx]

^^^, this is basically guaranteed to happen at least once

[median wind]

Like you are in a fire fighte or a fight with a mutant and you don't take care about the anomalys around you and BAM you are dead

[tired anvil]

When you think about it

There's really gonna be people who played S2 before the trilogy

[desert flame]

yeah

[median wind]

...

Yeah ...

Like

A really big tone of theme

[tired anvil]

A new generation

[median wind]

The things is that stalker is not that knowned in the western country

[wary cove]

Get ready for the "This is just like Metro!!! 😚" crew

[median wind]

Gosh I want to punch you so hard right now

[tired anvil]

😍

[wary cove]

[median wind]

I know that it would be cute and all but ...

Dawm no

[tired anvil]

Eh, that is honestly a bit of an exaggeration at this point. In the 2000's, sure, but over time, it got a lot more popular. Sure, it's definitely not as popular as it is in the Eastern community, but the West has it's decent amount

I'm waiting for the Metro bois personally

Teaching someone wrong is always fun

[median wind]

Just leave stalker being stalker and metro being metro

Yeah but really look at all the triple A games that was make on 2007,2008 and 2009

[spice harness]

Hey, I got a stupid question, I feel like I would love to play the games but I'm afraid there's moments which feels like "walking simulator" where you walk in empty places, not really knowing where to go. Maybe I just saw videos where people were doing something in particular, I don't know. Can someone tell me if it's the case or not, please ?

[median wind]

Well

Yes and no

You will have to walk a fair amount of time

But not that bad

[desert flame]

you always know where you need to go though

there's usually a marker

[median wind]

Except if you do ALL the side quests

If you do theme you will make lots of walk

[tired anvil]

There will always be a marker on the mini map to help you out

[median wind]

And even the PDA ase a map with maker on it

[tired anvil]

And tbh it's hard to get lost, when each of the areas/maps have unique buildings and stuff like that

[median wind]

And a auto correct to lead you to your mission

[spice harness]

oh ok I see, I can at least walk a bit if that's just using a bit of time if at least it's fluid! Well thanks to the three of you and all of these infos ^^ I guess I know what I'm doing tonight!

[median wind]

Yeah there is no place like the other

A god dawm looooong walk on the garbage my boy ^^

[tired anvil]

In the 2nd and 3rd game there is a guide feature. You pay a person to lead you to another location if you ever don't feel like walking a bit

[wary cove]

Well, the player could find themselves walking on empty spaces that aren't empty at all the wonders of ALife

[spice harness]

alright great!

[median wind]

shack your hand
That's a clever jock I'm proud

[lean igloo]

Not so empty.. you will find a good number of mutants

[tired anvil]

And anomalies, and people. Pretty much the world spitting in your face wanting you to die

[lone leaf]

Ey so on an earlier topic, just how popular is stalker in the east? Stateside it's gaining popularity but still seems to be pretty niche

[tired anvil]

Well, if Eastern Europe, then it's been popular before it came out. If the far East like Asia, then a lot less popular, but it has some fans actually

[lone leaf]

More like eastern Europe I meant yeah

[sonic rampart]

Stalker was popular in my country before it came out

[tired anvil]

I'm a bit surprised that someone would be asking about Eastern Europe instead of Western Europe

[sonic rampart]

it was popular as far back as 2003

[tired anvil]

Since it was sorta made in Eastern Europe lol

[tired anvil]

What country would that be?

[sonic rampart]

Bulgaria

Literally a smaller russia

[lone leaf]

That's kinda why I'm curious, see how big it is in the market that it came from and all

[rain summit]

Whenever i try to play Stalker soc and got to new game and choose my difficulty it crashes i get a black square in the top left of my screen and i can't do anything so i have to restart my pc. How do i fix this?

[tired anvil]

According to stats from 2008, it had sold a million in the CIS community alone

And around 700k in the rest of the world

[lone leaf]

Oh dang that's neat

[tired anvil]

Sorry, I personally don't know, but I recommend asking in #🔨-technical, maybe someone there will know

[rain summit]

ok

[lapis yew]

Yo guys, is Call of Chernobyl mod standalone? Or do I need COP?

[lone leaf]

You need cop iirc

[sonic rampart]

You need CoP

[lone leaf]

Pripyat is fun get it

[lapis yew]

Yeah, once I'm done with SoC

Which is close btw. Just need to disable the radio in Red Forest and on my way to Pripyat and beyond.

[lone leaf]

:) Ah yeah you gonna have fun my guy

[tired anvil]

Don't forget to play Clear Sky

[lapis yew]

God... I need to raid labs again do I...?

[median wind]

Noooooo

Don't worry ^^

[tired anvil]

To put it mildly, your lab journeys won't end even after finishing the game

[median wind]

X) don't ruin him the fun part

[tired anvil]

The hospital will be the fun part))

[median wind]

Ooooooooh yeah

[hushed aurora]

Hospital is pretty epic

CNPP is the fun part

[median wind]

The big fat fun

[still ridge]

Heresy

It’s good fun with friends

[tired anvil]

Never said the game is boring

Just not interested personally

[still ridge]

For me it’s a classic, since I grew up playing it

2011 or something

[hushed aurora]

MC is alright, i prefer Terraria as a single player experience tho

[leaden hamlet]

Terraria is such a brilliant game! 😊

[finite dragon]

Any attempt to penetrate the secured Zone will be punished by any means necessary! Patrols have the right to shoot on sight.

[finite dragon]

Dies cause you did not have 500 rubles

"anyway"

"CHERNOBYL VETERANS, JOIN DUTY RANKS, AND GRAB THE RESPONSIBILITY-"

duty is noob

join monolith

You are literally praising not existing rock

[languid ruin]

any news if Stalker 2 will have a physical copy version?

[finite dragon]

Meh. If grigorovich does not decided to remove half of the game

[finite dragon]

no, monolith exist

[finite dragon]

Imagine putting it in 4th block

duty still noob

[finite dragon]

Same as weedom then.

yes

[frail spire]

Both are dumb, be bandit, don't care about anything but having fun

[finite dragon]

but freedom have weed

[tired anvil]

Renegadis Gods of Zona

yay?

[finite dragon]

[thick wharf]

I cant wait more for this game😭

[tired anvil]

Shame, we need to

[finite dragon]

You better keep your mouth shut. Or Dooty will have some "problems" with supplies.

And trained recruits...

And ammo...

And guns...

And god know what else.

[wicked current]

damn right major.

[flat prism]

Do you guys think it would be against the rules to advertise a small YouTube channel? Not mine.

It's a really small channel dedicated to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. content, and they work really hard on making their videos.

I really just think it deserves some love, because they have a very surprising low subscriber and view count

[tired anvil]

You could share a video/throw a channel link and add that you like it and whatnot in #📸┃screens_and_videos, nothing constant though, and the video option would be better

[flat prism]

Okay, thank you very much. I was contemplating on posting it there but I didn't know for sure if that was the right sort of material to be posting in there.

[verbal hemlock]

@flat prism I’d like to check it out! DM me a YouTube link man!

[flat prism]

In the screens and videos channel

[tired anvil]

Seen that channel before actually, it's pretty nice

[flat prism]

It's honestly great, it gives me this weird 2010s vibe for some reason

[acoustic parcel]

Anomalous dugout is a cool channel. lots of sdalger news and stuff

[finite dragon]

they better have renegades in sdalger 2

[pseudo yoke]

They shouldnt have Renegades or CS tbh

[finite dragon]

yeah but i think having a cs suit somewhere would be a cool easter egg

[lone leaf]

Dead CS skeleton guy in some underground lab just kinda chillin in a corner maybe

[finite dragon]

i was thinking a stash in limansk or red forest but that works

[tired anvil]

Or Swamps if those return

[finite dragon]

yea

but as long as we get the freedom theme back im buying 2 copies

[tired anvil]

You will get cheeki breeki back

[finite dragon]

y es

[tired anvil]

I am not joking either, they said so on Reddit a few days ago

[finite dragon]

nice, i was worried the game would be too serious

[tired anvil]

[finite dragon]

[hushed aurora]

Hmm, moddb,

[finite dragon]

but are there other playform about stalker? forums...

[hushed aurora]

The translation isnt 100% done yet, but according to the translator they have 90% done so there should be no issue

And idk, other forums that i can remember are in Ru

[finite dragon]

You do not have your own centers? You must go to ap-pro or moddb or rutracker?

[hushed aurora]

I usually go to moddb for almost everything

When it comes to Stalker mods

[tired anvil]

Our own centers. What's wrong with Mod DB exactly

[gusty trench]

Same question. Moddb is usually used by western devs.

[robust forge]

Nowadays it's most of the devs tbh

[finite dragon]

Yra

[finite dragon]

Ugh

[wind agate]

ok so put on a military uniform, realized the stalkers would shoot at me, changed back into a stalker uniform (out of sight) message on screen says they would assume i was part of the community but they are still shooting at me, any ideas?

[tiny olive]

Just a lore-ish question, idk, may sound stupid.

If Freedom uses the Bulldog, what would be the counterpart for Duty?

[wind agate]

NVM im an idiot, i was putting on a bandit uniform... lol

[finite dragon]

@tiny olive judging by the fact that voronin sends you out to get a bulldog

both freedom and duty use it

it's a russian grenade launcher too

[tiny olive]

I see. Makes sense. Thanks

[hazy wadi]

how do you pass the level with vova vist?

How does he do it!

[past shuttle]

@hazy wadi Easy enough

Very easy

You can easily do it even in master difficulty

The guy machine gunning you...

has to reload eventually

There is only one second break though

So you have to make the timing right

The moment he stops shooting, you gotta run for it
