[bronze rune]

unfunny

[supple summit]

im not even joking

I seriously dont get why people hate clear sky so much

[finite dragon]

guys

guys

guys

the 2011 build for stalker 2 got goddamn leaked

[supple summit]

tf

[finite dragon]

hold on

[wary cove]

Since yesterday

[finite dragon]

@tired anvil wake up

[supple summit]

i want to play it

[bronze rune]

Anyway

[supple summit]

if ther is a proper game left anyway

[wary cove]

Sadly it doesn't

[supple summit]

im not suprised

[bronze rune]

i was wondering if artifacts respawn because my brain could not handle the pressure to check it on my own in call of pripyat

[hushed current]

Clear sky is my second favourite I only have a few problems with it

[bronze rune]

😉

[supple summit]

i havent played vanilla stalker in a while

[finite dragon]

goddamn it

[supple summit]

but i think that they do

[frail spire]

They do

[wary cove]

Artifacts respawn in CoP indeed
Check anomalous zones after emissions

[finite dragon]

why is the single goddamn website to post the leak have broken embedding

[frail spire]

Just take a day or so to respawn

[finite dragon]

i cant even view the images

ffs

[frail spire]

Maybe more

[bronze rune]

👍

[hushed current]

In shadow of Chernobyl is there any anomaly’s where the soul artifact spawns?

[bronze rune]

i just had the wettest fart 😉 anyone want me to package it and send it to you ❤️ 😘

[tired anvil]

Yea you're 2 days late, even GSC said that they are cool with it

[finite dragon]

bruh

no announcement or nothing

[hazy helm]

Late to the party I see

We already fawned over it yeaterday

[final wing]

Well first it start you off in a swamp and given pistol that can't fire 2 feet also the game doesn't give you clues as to how you're supposed to enter cordon

[hazy helm]

I don't see your what the problem is

[supple summit]

same

[hushed current]

Your told you can enter cordon after dealing with the bandits and you also start with an AK

[tired anvil]

Why do you need clues to enter Cordon, you have a marker lmao

[supple summit]

when you do a few tasks and get a toz34 or an ak then the fun starts

clear sky becomes renegade hunting simulator 2011

[bronze rune]

in rules it says i cant ping helpers for no good reason, what would be a good reason

[tired anvil]

It means the role sorta, a lot of us are fine with you pinging us if you have some problems

[final wing]

The markers give you the entrance to cordon but it's the wrong way because of the military base

[tired anvil]

If it's something like “When will stalker 2 release” then it's a bad reason

[hushed current]

Also the swamps are easy the bandits half low health and poor weapons there’s also a lot of good loot in the swamps you can find a vale’s detector

[tired anvil]

It's not the wrong way

It's the way devs intended it to be

Because you're supposed to get past the machine gunner

Old des-docs even show it being the right way

[hushed current]

Your meant to run past the machine gunner

[supple summit]

@tired anvil WheN wiLl sTalKeR 2 RelEaSe

[final wing]

But you can go back to the swamp and take the safe way

[supple summit]

im so funny

[tired anvil]

202_ according to GSC

[hazy helm]

Thea maybe in easy diff

[final wing]

I agree

[tired anvil]

It's really not that hard in Master either

[supple summit]

stalker 2 in 2029

would be a bit of a bruh moment

[hazy helm]

You need to stealth but not many know

[supple summit]

but im willing to wait

[tired anvil]

You don't need to stealth

[hazy helm]

You're asking a lot from the casuals gaj

[tired anvil]

No Vasim, since I'm a casual myself

[hushed current]

I always just ran past

[finite dragon]

what did GSC say about the leak anyway

outside of being cool with it

[tired anvil]

You simply run behind a rock and then go to the left

[hazy helm]

Heresy

[frail spire]

It was probably an old build so they don't care

[tired anvil]

“If the fans want to look at it, we're cool with that, let them”

[hazy helm]

Not representative of what the now stalker is

[wary cove]

And then run and run until you reach rookie village

[hushed current]

Getting past the machine gunner isn’t that hard it just takes trial and error

[final wing]

I prefer the safe way to cordon which is at the top of the swamp map

[tired anvil]

I mean fair enough

[hazy helm]

Fine by all of us

[tired anvil]

I personally like the southern one more

[supple summit]

im a bit scared about stalker 2

[hazy helm]

But the way that was Intended was the one you say is bulls

[supple summit]

i fear that it will lose the good old stalker charm

[frail spire]

Keep expectations mild, and bully hype makers since they're always the ones to blame when things go wrong

[supple summit]

and that it will be a much more basic AAA shooter

[final wing]

I hope they make fast travel using guides and not like click here and teleport

[tired anvil]

Probably will since why change that

[supple summit]

same

[hazy helm]

They already did in CS

[supple summit]

and cop

[tired anvil]

And CoP, no reason to change

[frail spire]

CoP too and you had to unlock them so yeah

[hushed aurora]

It's kinda easy tbh

[hazy helm]

Why change wuts not broken?

[final wing]

Never knew you can fast travel by clicking a location i thought you have to use guides or other stalkers

[hushed aurora]

You have to use guides

[hazy helm]

You use guides

Dude

[hushed aurora]

You got it the opposite way

Kek

[final wing]

I know,what I meant is skyrim or fallout fast travel

[hushed current]

When dose S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 take place?

[final wing]

It would ruin it if stalker 2 has that

[hazy helm]

After CoP if I'm not mistaken

Def after Soc

[hushed aurora]

After CoP

Don't know how many years

[hushed current]

Oh good I wonder if it will be a new location

[hazy helm]

There will def be new locations

That much is assured

[final wing]

I hope gsc will make quest from random stalkers viable to do to make money

[hazy helm]

Those were never a thing if I'm not mistaken

[hushed current]

I hope it’s like call of Chernobyl where you only had 3 levels but each one was big

[final wing]

I think you mean cop

[hushed current]

I mean call of Pripyat

[hazy helm]

I hope its like SoC

Best

In the series

[hushed current]

Eh a lot of gameplay mechanics made me dislike shadow of Chernobyl’s map a lot less then I originally did

[final wing]

I think the mechanic is fine

[frail spire]

CoP was peak mechanically speaking

[final wing]

Yeah and the quest is good

[hushed current]

I recently beat shadow of Chernobyl again and near the end it become a slog to get through

[hazy helm]

The end of every stalker never was that good gameplay wise let's say

[final wing]

But on my cop playthrough skadosvk is destroyed by bloodsuckers

[hazy helm]

Do the vampire quest

[final wing]

I did but I stopped when it told me to search some stuff in a truck and i couldn't finish it

[frail spire]

All stalker ending sections suck ass

[hushed current]

Im not talking about the Chernobyl npp part I mean after lab X16

[frail spire]

This is an universal truth

[final wing]

Yes

Imagine stalker 2 but the quest is like fallout new vegas where there's more than 2 way to solve each quest

[frail spire]

I mean... theres usually no more than 2 ways because theres no need for more

[hushed current]

I got tired of having to run across the map god shadow of Chernobyl’s game design was so bad walk into a level you already cleared of enemy’s 15 times to see them all magically alive again then get a mission to clear out a camp witch you don’t want to do but have to if you don’t want your reputation to decrease so you do it and guess what it’s to clear out a bunch of dogs around 20 who all run off in different directions when you engage combat with them so you chase and hunt them down dragging you near enemy camps forcing you to kill them again then after all that you have to go somewhere else you didn’t want to go to to get your reward and guess what while going to get your reward you get more awful radiant quests forced on you

[hazy helm]

Bro

Lok

Lol

I can spend a whole run without any radiant quest

I did that 2 time or 3

[hushed current]

Then there’s garbage the worst level in the entire game every time you go into that place you get defend the loners at depot then have to deal with the bandits only to then run all the way to the bottom of cordon to turn in the quest then go back to garbage only to get defend loners and depot again and again

[hazy helm]

You aren't really forced to make radiant quests

You can steamroll the game

Or stop doing then when it becomes a slog

[hushed current]

Yantar also sucks due to its location you have to go through wild Territory and get a radiant quest to wipe out an enemy camp witch always has dogs 20 or more there the worst enemy for radiant quests because they run away when hurt causing you to run all over the level to find them then after killing them you have to go all the way to cordon to turn it in only to deal with defend loners and depot then when your done with that and go back to wild Territory to get to yantar you get destroy enemy camp with the same annoying dogs to kill leading you back to garbage where you get defend loners and depot awful game design

And yes you do have to do the radiant quests because if you don’t you get a bad reputation giving you a bad ending and other disadvantages

[hazy helm]

Lmao,defending the depot isn't a must

You could probs ignore them

[final wing]

You can still get the good ending even if you don't do radiant quest it's optional

[hushed current]

No if you don’t do radiant quests you get a bad reputation giving you a bad ending also what happens every time you enter army Warehouses or want to go to radar you get defend the barrier I’m glad the radiant quests are gone along with the overly respawning enemies I swear you can defend the depot from bandits only to see more spawning out of there clown closet to attack the depot again

[final wing]

Bad reputation only changes the wish granter ending but if you do the whole find guide thing then go to pripyat hotel then you still get the good ending

[hushed current]

Same with bes’s camp you defend his camp only to see more bandits immediately they don’t even wait for you to leave the level to spawn more bandits I save bes and see 5 bandits slowly coming in for another assault

[tired anvil]

Lmao LJL

You can get the good ending no matter what your reputation is

You played yourself

[final wing]

For me bes died after the bes quest lmao

[hazy helm]

yhea you confusing me

[hushed current]

I only had yurik die due to the campfire glitch along with Fox and a dutyer I saved from borovs base while bullet despawned for some reason

[pseudo rivet]

Lesson learned, SoC is not for you

[final wing]

I honestly liked walking in soc

And every other stalker game

[tired anvil]

I liked it more in CS than in SoC

[pseudo rivet]

Personally, I felt that walking in SoC was more like an explorative filler, with CS making you walk with a purpose

Especially with the Faction Wars

Constantly checking out your PDA while you were on the move was pretty nice

[tired anvil]

Well

[hazy helm]

Sometimes when the atmosphere of SoC hits and everything alligns it's surreal

[tired anvil]

I agree with you, but the fact that CS was a prequel built onto the reason of walking in SoC for me

Seeing how things were before

[hazy helm]

It s a pretty diff feeling I got from CS or CoP

[hushed current]

I wouldn’t mind it so much if it wasn’t for the fact every time you enter garbage wild Territory or army Warehouses defend the depot destroy the enemy camp defend the barrier also the depot and barrier have named characters I want to keep alive but that’s enough of shadow of Chernobyl

[pseudo rivet]

Better, that's for sure

[tired anvil]

Bro do yourself a favour and learn to use a comma

[hushed current]

Agreed

[pseudo rivet]

It is quite hard to pin down what you're saying, yeah

Or rather, to read it

[hazy helm]

I'm on phone I can't write for crap in phone

[tired anvil]

Sometimes I have to read thrice to make sure I understand

That wasn't for you, Vasim

You aren't the one writing mini walls without them

[hazy helm]

Lmao

[tired anvil]

But anyway, there aren't that many important characters that you gotta save, so it's a meh sidequest

[hushed current]

The depot has One as well as the barrier despite the odds I always try to keep named characters in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Games alive

[final wing]

Well you do you,but for me I don't really try to keep characters alive only important quest characters

[tired anvil]

Well, that's sorta close to what he does

But fair enough

[final wing]

I wonder how skif is gonna be like

[tired anvil]

Big, buff unkillable, basically a God and nobody can stop him, one man army

[final wing]

Yeah that's probably it

[pseudo rivet]

STALKER's version of the Courier

[verbal hemlock]

Damn Right

[finite dragon]

what are the russian lines of the stalkers at rookie village when u dont holster ur weapon

"Put down your weapon"

[frail spire]

unzips pants
"No"

[mighty compass]

bruh

man i am playing clear sky

i need to clear out the agorpon underground

guess what

critikal psi emmisions

and your favo friend the controller

[finite dragon]

But in russian

[mighty compass]

yk i hope ashot and yar are back in stalker 2

tht would be fun

those two arguing

[finite dragon]

||They stopped after lingovs death||

Sorry for spoiler

[solid dome]

lol

[frail spire]

I mean, I get backtracking sucks but you missed the point of the game

[strange marsh]

Henlo frens

[high plume]

good day

[strange marsh]

Tis a great day

[high plume]

its

wait...

[strange marsh]

Yes

[high plume]

i can't type

huh

its was mean to be tis

[strange marsh]

ah

sad times

but yes

tis a good day

[high plume]

tis

[strange marsh]

for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is on the horizon

[high plume]

I need my Cheeki Breeki

[strange marsh]

Me too

[high plume]

i could do without the starter pistol though

a Gauss Rifle would be nice instead

[strange marsh]

I could do with some vodka

[high plume]

Da

[strange marsh]

Da

[high plume]

Da

[finite dragon]

Doodoo fart

[high plume]

Нет

I disagree

[finite dragon]

Russian!!! Go to #504592667716354048

[high plume]

i wanted to say no

thats all

I thinks that no though

[finite dragon]

Fart

[high plume]

we talk about stalker no child language

[finite dragon]

You are a child yourself

[high plume]

i am

im only 17

problem?

[frail spire]

I see, real autism hours

[high plume]

damn right

[finite dragon]

Still a child

[high plume]

damn right

[final wing]

But he's close to being an adult

[soft ice]

I wonder how many copies of SoC have been sold

It was 2 million in 2008 so now probably much more

[remote crow]

There seems to be no sign of intellegence anywhere

[frail spire]

Garbage is good design, you have a big warehouse that is hard to defend which is not far fetched considering it's one of the two places in which you can shield yourself from emissions

[cyan garden]

i hope duga doesnt replace radar

[finite dragon]

Correct

[bitter pendant]

Army warehouses can get extremely hectic with warfare, may cause a stalemate with monolith, but it's so fun.

[finite dragon]

Warfare is boring because Militaey/Monolith split the Zone in half

[sharp spear]

Anomaly warfare moment

[bitter pendant]

Unless you change the settings of those two factions, yes

[opaque fjord]

i agree.

[tired anvil]

They said that the series has over 6 mil last time I asked, but didn't say a concrete number on how much they've sold in total

[soft ice]

Damn

That’s really impressive for a tiny ukrainian studio lmao

[tired anvil]

Well, it was the biggest studio in Eastern Europe at some point

[soft ice]

Most studios are western though

Eastern europe isn’t really known for video games

[tired anvil]

Eh

Maybe not for loads of games, but they have quality/popular games under their title

Depending on how you look at the map, you could say that Arma 3 is made by an Eastern studio

[soft ice]

Is CSGO russian?

[tired anvil]

Nope

[soft ice]

Cyberpunk is polish right

[tired anvil]

Arma is Czech, Cyberpunk and Witcher are Polish

World of Tanks are Belarusian

[soft ice]

Forgot about Gaijin

That’s russian correct?

[tired anvil]

Yup

Farm 51 is Polish too

They developed WW3 and Chernobylite I think

[soft ice]

Is chernobylite out yet?

[tired anvil]

I think it officially left Early Acess earlier this year, but it still needs a lot of work done from what I hear

[soft ice]

What are your thoughts on it?

[mighty compass]

I know but still would be fun

[tired anvil]

I tried it in November, I had a pretty trash experience with it. Not a huge fan personally

[mighty compass]

Maybe two other dudes

[finite dragon]

One hella late reply

[tired anvil]

Maybe after it got more updates (granted some did happen since I played but still)

[soft ice]

I personally think that it’s too much like stalker to ever be it’s own thing

Haven’t played it though

[mighty compass]

I was sleeping

[tired anvil]

I feel like it does take a lot of inspiration, but it doesn't exactly do it good enough to even be called a copy

[soft ice]

I just don’t see a point in making a game that can’t escape the shadow of another game lol

Games like Into the Radius don’t have this issue, i think, because it’s at least a new experience (vr)

[tired anvil]

At the same time it's a bit different

At the end of the day, GSC struck gold by being pretty much the first company to make a game in Chernobyl and actually succeeding from it

[soft ice]

Yeah

Any game thats like “postsoviet with supernatural stuff” is in stalkers shadow

[tired anvil]

@soft ice no swearing btw. Did you mean Survarium?

[soft ice]

Oh, sorry. Yeah that’s what i mean

Think so

Yeah that and will to live

[tired anvil]

Survarium is a bit special as it was made by old GSC devs using old Stalker 2 assets

Idk about Will to Live, but they also made Fear the Wolves which was a big flop

[soft ice]

Wasn’t survarium going to be open world?

Kind of a shame that never materialized

[tired anvil]

I think so, one of their lead programmers also left to come back to GSC to work on S2 now, so I wonder how long it'll take before they cancel it

[soft ice]

Ah

Kinda a shame but an eye for an eye ig

[tired anvil]

Eh, at the same time it's just someone going back to his roots since he worked on all 3 games

[soft ice]

Agree

[opaque parrot]

Survarium was better when it came out than after a few updates

Plus it doesn't have any anti-chat system if I recall right

I abandoned that game after the 3rd, maybe 4th update, came back to try it after a year or so and it got flooded with cheaters

And the game in general didn't improve at all

[robust forge]

In fact, the P2W aspect even worsened

[opaque parrot]

That too, I forgot there was P2W stuff there

[robust forge]

Survarium had something going for it in the beginning, ngl

They expanded the ideas from stalker

Like

4A left GSC with engine and assets

But Vostok left GSC with a whole design board

[opaque parrot]

My thoughts exactly, but instead of keeping it up they shoved tons of P2W stuff on us and didn't improve much of the other assets of the game

The only improvement I saw were a few new maps and game modes

The problem with having no anti-cheat system is the first thing that let me down honestly

I can deal with P2W opponents, but a server flooded with cheaters and bots doesn't make it fun at all

Like, it's 5v5 and I have 1 guy on my team while the other 3 are bots and 2 cheaters on the enemy team who also have 3 bots besides them

Sometimes I had cheaters on my team too, which is also frustrating since I can't level up my own character

I barely end up getting a few kills in a round with those guys around

[robust forge]

Yeah

It's really a shame

[finite dragon]

Survarium now Is kinda good

I enjoyed It a lot when I played it with friends

Very fun

Not too pay to win anymore

[quick dune]

still pretty p2w

[finite dragon]

it's still fun

[cold roost]

what is best stalker games in your choices?

[hazy helm]

Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl

Clear Sky is the second best

[harsh depot]

my opinion changes overtime

[robust forge]

I like ShoC the most

Right behind it is CS

And CoP is far off

[cold roost]

mine is 1. CoP 2. ShoC 3. CS

CS is good but i dont liked much than others

[hushed current]

For me it’s call of Pripyat clear sky shadow of Chernobyl

[finite dragon]

soc and cop

[finite dragon]

1. CS 1.5.0.0
2. SoC
3. CoP
4. CS 1.5.10

[robust forge]

Comes out of nowhere
Claims that a build of CS is superior to the release
Refuses to elaborate further
Goes back to translating NLC7

@finite dragon what did Sergyi snip snap out of CS 1.5.0.0 btw

[mighty compass]

Dude prefers un patched over patched

And not even putting it in second

Putting it in last place

[hushed current]

There’s something happening here what it is ain’t exactly clear

[finite dragon]

It's not a build you dumby dumb dumb.

It's retail.

[finite dragon]

3 quests in Agro IIRC

[mighty compass]

The underground

[finite dragon]

My goodness, even the most veteran member of the community don't know that retail has multiple versions

[mighty compass]

Just cope harder my dude

[robust forge]

Cut me some slack, got a hard migraine

[finite dragon]

This is what Steam/GoG does to you when they give you fully patched versions

[robust forge]

Yeah

[finite dragon]

And I am missing a part of my brain so we're even

[robust forge]

And you have to fiddle around to downpatch

[finite dragon]

You can't downgrade to release version

You have to crack it

[robust forge]

Pretty much

Yeah

[finite dragon]

Trouble is, no one makes cracks for retail versions

Can't find SoC 1.0

Or CoP 1.6

[robust forge]

Shame

[finite dragon]

Hurr durr play patched

[mighty compass]

Bruh

[finite dragon]

Imagine playing patched versions of the game

[mighty compass]

Cope harder

Literally shut and cope harder

[pseudo rivet]

Imagine playing patched versions of the game

[finite dragon]

I posted in offtopic

Opinions lls

Pls

I gotta buy stalker trilogy for the 4th time I guess

Since I lost the OG discs

:(

[pseudo rivet]

Ah, shucks

[finite dragon]

One day

One day I will do SoC 1.0

CS 1.5

And CoP 1.6

And on that day I will achieve TRUE STALKER

Or True Stalker might release idk

[mighty compass]

Bruh

It's a game

And it are quests

You can literally just get better

And cope harder

Like oh no I can't beat underground

Oh no now I must use a different version

[tired anvil]

He's using a different version for it to be harder...

[mighty compass]

Wait really

[tired anvil]

Yes lmao

The unpatched one

[mighty compass]

Nvm

[finite dragon]

Who are you even @mighty compass

[mighty compass]

I thought he said that he didn't want those underground leaves

[finite dragon]

What?

[mighty compass]

Ivan Sherkov

[finite dragon]

Do you even know what the convo is about

[mighty compass]

This

[finite dragon]

Like go play more vanilla

Do you know what those 3 quests in agro are

[mighty compass]

Yeah you rated Cs retail above the patched version

[finite dragon]

Yes because it's objectively better

[mighty compass]

One of them is that you have to fill the sewers

[finite dragon]

No

[mighty compass]

What then

[finite dragon]

Sidequests given by stalkers

[mighty compass]

Don't play them

It are side quests

You don't HAVE to play them

The are optional

[finite dragon]

You don't have to do the story missions either

You can if you want to

But you don't need to

[tired anvil]

[finite dragon]

It's true

[mighty compass]

Let me rephrase it

[finite dragon]

You can get to Limansk via teleporter behind the CS base

[mighty compass]

You don't have to play to compete the game

[finite dragon]

Tejas is close to completing Call of Chernobyl

You have to play to complete the game

Otherwise what's the point

[hushed aurora]

Censoring isn't allowed btw

[finite dragon]

So what did you mean about this

[mighty compass]

With that you don't have to complete side quests

Only main quests

[finite dragon]

But you said that you don't have to play to complete the game

[finite dragon]

You can skip the main missions

[mighty compass]

I didn't mean It that way

[mighty compass]

But on a normal playthrough without any skips

Like I ain't a speedrunner

I sont need to know that

[finite dragon]

On a normal playthrough you do sidequests

[hushed aurora]

The dude wants to have the sidequests, where's the problem

[finite dragon]

The problem is that CS 1.5.0.0 is objectively superior to all the other stalker games

[hushed aurora]

Yeah but what's the other dude's problem

[finite dragon]

Dunno

Bad day I guess

[finite dragon]

Why is swearing not allowed?

[robust forge]

Because if it wasn't you'd go full on slavaboo on us

[final wing]

Slavaboo

[quick dune]

discord verified server moment

[finite dragon]

Oh

Huh?

Slavaboo?

[quick dune]

slavaboo = boris fan

[finite dragon]

Oh

I'm a Boris fan

[tired anvil]

Slavaboo = someone who isn't Slavic pretending to be Slavic or acting like it

[finite dragon]

wow...

[tired anvil]

Because when the server initially launched and everyone was swearing and acting like crazy, GSC got bad reputation over it

[robust forge]

Yup

[finite dragon]

wdym acting crazy?

they never join a server in their life?

[wary cove]

Apparently there were no mods back then

[robust forge]

Well

They did at the beginning

And GSC got some bad rep

Because it was anarchy back then

With ammased autism of Niko's BS

[finite dragon]

lol

[still ridge]

Yeah his server is terrible

[robust forge]

It was good

[still ridge]

mods are genuinely terrible people

[robust forge]

Up until the ShadowSnake massacre

[still ridge]

and most of the occupants are just as bad

[robust forge]

Before Kuro malded and left it was good

But after Goge took over it became worse and worse with every day

He banned every oldfag that didn't take the knee to the CCP

Especially during the Shadowsnake Massacre

During which, on 1st april 2020, nothing happened

@finite dragon was Shadowsnake massacre in 2020 or 2019

[tired anvil]

There were but imagine 10k people starting to write at once and it's the very first day of the server. Everything was under control in like day 3

[finite dragon]

2020

[still ridge]

careful with the BS terminology

[finite dragon]

Tbh is not as toxic anymore

New people comin in and some mod demoted or just disappear

[robust forge]

Since guys like me or Dog were banned

Ig that me coming back to BS would be like "Demolition Man" with Sylvester Stallone

[finite dragon]

I'm part Serb, does that count as slab?

Slav*

[robust forge]

Not subhuman enough

[quick dune]

no

[robust forge]

So it doesn't count

[quick dune]

serb = balkan

[robust forge]

I mean

Serbs are slav

[outer zephyr]

you're basically turkish

[quick dune]

are they

[robust forge]

But on his logic I could say that I'm a jew or a Kazakh

[tired anvil]

Bruh

Yes Serbs are Slavic

[robust forge]

Baltics aren't slavic

Balkans are

[tired anvil]

Baltics are Baltics

[robust forge]

Yeah

[tired anvil]

It's a people and a region

[robust forge]

Under which family do you fall

Since I genuinely forgot

[tired anvil]

Balto-Slavic

[robust forge]

You're not Ugrofins

Oh

Ok

[tired anvil]

Then Indo-European

[robust forge]

Yeah, yeah

[tired anvil]

Estonians are the Finn ones

[robust forge]

Oh, yeah

That's why I though about ugrofins

[finite dragon]

i remember getting so excited that in cop, you're gonna play as strelok

[wary cove]

[quick dune]

i killed strelok in soc

can you do that

[wary cove]

Done that in every way possible

especially in the very first playthrough

[finite dragon]

i killed him many times but he is still alive

[finite dragon]

We're really only balto-slavic because the slavs stole our dictionary))

[finite dragon]

I killed strelok in all 3 games

[violet jacinth]

GSC devs are all on exept 1 which has his status set to idle

[finite dragon]

Those are community managers

But there are devs

[violet jacinth]

[finite dragon]

But oooOoOo whoo Are They??!

OoooO

It could be you

It could be me

[violet jacinth]

iam out

[finite dragon]

It could even be-

[leaden hamlet]

-Viper.

Dead students..

[oak roost]

hello

[tired anvil]

Heya

[high plume]

good day

[viral bobcat]

is it true stalker 2 will be released exclusively on Q4 2021 for console first??

[finite dragon]

not sure yet they say

[hushed aurora]

They said it's gonna release on both PC and Xbox On the same day, and release date has not been confirmed by GSC

[viral bobcat]

well surely i doubt the exclusivity is a good move, considering if there were some bugs on day 1 hope the devs will get things done soon on PC

[hushed aurora]

Psure the exclusivity is only like, it Will release on Xbox but not on PS

Something like that

[viral bobcat]

now if the news is right, releasing both platforms sounds unlikely, looks like there's been a change of plans

[hushed aurora]

Hasnt been confirmed by GSC, has it

And besides, it being released on Xbox first is old (and pmuch fake) news

[viral bobcat]

yet there's still no sign for the steam release

[hushed aurora]

I care about what has been confirmed by GSC, they've said same day for PC and Xbox So thats what matters, we're not getting sign for steam release as well as not getting actual gameplay yet after at least 3 years of development

Theres plenty of stuff theyve been secretive about

So it doesnt surprise me

[viral bobcat]

true enough, i'll take your word for it

[grand pendant]

which are GSC's words in their official website faq or even in #📗┃s2-faq

[viral bobcat]

yes sir

[remote crow]

Got a birb and named him skif

[native ibex]

Hey hey

[grand pendant]

heya

[native ibex]

I'm sleepy, but can't sleep

[remote crow]

We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.
May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will.
Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith.
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith

[final wing]

So there's this review of all 3 stalker game by Ssethtzeentach it's really entertaining and funny

[finite dragon]

Gonna check it out

Sounds nice

[finite dragon]

Early game Anamoly is suffering

[frail spire]

Just hoard mutant parts and travel to garbage then sell your stuff to butcher

Or just go to jupiter and hunt monolithians for free gear to sell

And high-tier guns and parts to repair

[mighty compass]

I crave monolith blood

[tired anvil]

Pro tip, don't trust any media outside of GSC, as ever since the announcement in 2018, 9/10 times some company took something wrong from GSC, misinterpreted and spread false info

[viral bobcat]

yes sir

[mighty compass]

Idc if it is on steam or not

I just want to play stalker 2

[finite dragon]

But do you have a good spec to play stalker 2

[finite dragon]

PC and Xbox. No exclusivity. PS may be at a later date, but not right now

[finite dragon]

Well I have plenty of mutant parts to horde because for the begining Rookei qtutorial quest the gmae decided to spawn 8 Boars which wped out the rookie camp

[final wing]

Rip wolf

[finite dragon]

Only one left alive is Hip it seems

[finite dragon]

DJ Peach Cobbler also has a funny review of stalker

[final wing]

I agree because I watched it

[finite dragon]

Really like his videos overall

Y'know

[final wing]

Yeah me too

[arctic rover]

if it will be in gamepass, then we could play stalker 2 on phones trough the cloud?

[tired anvil]

Who knows, if the phone is strong enough, maybe?

[arctic rover]

i think if it is cloud gaming, then it is internet which is heavily needed

[tired anvil]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

My knowledge is limited about the Xbox pass

Some say there are two versions of it, I don't really know the difference for example

[mighty compass]

No

[finite dragon]

Bye everyone

Im quiting discord forever

Bye

[mighty compass]

Okay

[tired anvil]

Cya

[finite dragon]

why

[finite dragon]

Respect the struggle my man

[mighty compass]

Thx

[hushed current]

Rest In Peace Sergeant Arch Dornan

[finite dragon]

can someone PLEASE tell me why don't renegades have a background story? they were personally the best faction in clear sky??

[finite dragon]

don't worry man i get like 30 fps sometimes in stalker

[mighty compass]

Oof

[pseudo rivet]

These are guys who mug and kill on sight, compared to the Bandits' taxation method. Not even Bandits feel comfortable near these guys. They're pretty much the meanest scum in the Zone, usually cast out of a group due to their behavior and joining the Renegades afterwards

[soft ice]

Is there any way to prevent monolith spawning behind me in the sarcophagus in SoC? It’s super annoying

[finite dragon]

no

try load your previous save file @soft ice

[soft ice]

actually i keep having this issue where i reload a quicksave and monolith that werent there before spawn in

[finite dragon]

Well there is nothing you can do

just kill them quickly

[soft ice]

yeah

is shotgun good?

ive been using a gp37

[finite dragon]

spas is actually good in close combat of course

high damage

[soft ice]

is the chaser 13 any good against them? i got one for x-16

[hushed aurora]

Chaser 13 is kinda trash against humans

[finite dragon]

shotguns are good with mutants

[finite dragon]

i think shotguns r made for snorks

[misty tusk]

Chaser 13 is pretty good in ShOC

kinda dissapointng in CS

and its pretty good against mutants in CoP

although

the TOZ-34 absolutely dinks humans

[hushed current]

I personally advise using shotguns only for selling

[cold roost]

do i need to kill noah?

in call of pripyat

[hushed current]

No you can talk to him

[cold roost]

but when i go he just shoots?

and his doge

[hushed current]

He shoots open the door but will then lower his gun and talk to you

[cold roost]

ok

thanks

[hushed current]

Your gladly welcome

[hushed current]

There another gang of bandits like the razor heads I have a theory about them but that’s neither here nor there

[cold roost]

thanks again 🙂

[hushed current]

Anytime I’m always happy to help

[native ibex]

Sup

[hushed current]

Eh not much

[native ibex]

So it seems

I've signed myself up for some 3D modeling courses

May find myself working in the games industry some day as an artist, who knows

[frail spire]

Unless you've got connections and never went against mass media you will have a hard time

[native ibex]

Nah, can't all be in that nasty ol' silicon valley

[opaque parrot]

I've been making some maps in UE4 for like 3 years already

Just some random stuff, but I still can't figure out certain features

[native ibex]

Dang

Well, maybe there's specialization in that sort of thing

Maybe you need a team with specialties to make a good map

[tired anvil]

A guy can do it alone if he knows what he's doing

[blissful coyote]

life is pain

[finite dragon]

I hate

[blissful coyote]

also @finite dragon why merc?

[native ibex]

He's in Duty

They're all work no play

[blissful coyote]

i have not seen an egghead for a month

do they even talk?

[finite dragon]

.

lol theyre purple

hah

[spring oxide]

eh

[misty tusk]

the eggheads are too busy doing egghead stuff

[finite dragon]

hello to all stalkers, do you wish to see 1 item from metro exodus i made, i know its not stalker but its post apocalypse

[misty tusk]

I don't think that would go here

it would probably be #🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay

[finite dragon]

thanks for instructions

[misty tusk]

or #📸┃screens_and_videos

if its a video

[finite dragon]

its an actuall thing

[misty tusk]

or screenshot

[finite dragon]

that exists in real life

[misty tusk]

yeah probably maybe #🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay

[finite dragon]

ok thanks

does anyone think a gas mask i have would help in the zone?

its a yugoslav mc.1, licensed us m9 i think?

[tired anvil]

I think any gas mask would help one way or another honestly

[finite dragon]

u know anything about filters?

[tired anvil]

Idk much about gas masks, sorry

[timber siren]

everyone wants that stalker 2, but where the people wanting cossacks 4?

[errant orbit]

Better go find them

[finite dragon]

I hope S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 doesn't have insane requirements

Cries in GTX 1050 TI

[errant orbit]

Probably gonna need a hefty pc to run it. We'll just have to wait and see until the system requirements are released

[finite dragon]

Sry if u think i flex, i got 16gb ram i5 6400 and rx580 4gb imma run it fine

Might buy an i7 7700

[errant orbit]

Good for you

[finite dragon]

Im playing metro exodus at very high

So its gonna be fine

[errant orbit]

Right.

[finite dragon]

I can also run metro Exodus on High

Nicee

If I break out my old VGA CRT

I rly like metro dang

Metro and especially stalker have a special feelinf

The environment has all the power

And the character can die ez

[timber siren]

i just got gtx 1660

[finite dragon]

my mind telling me to join freepiss

and my mind also telling me to join bandit

[blissful coyote]

1. waste money on drugs
   or 2. vodka

[tired anvil]

3. buy your friend Stalker

[finite dragon]

mercs is an expert killer btw

they can literally clean up your house in a second

[blissful coyote]

well since mercs are from all walks of life
does that mean that people from the US are mercs,
if so merc fat

[finite dragon]

mercs are originally a usa mercs in the old game

[blissful coyote]

USA = fat

but we can all agree that nobody likes renegades

[finite dragon]

renegades is just bandit but edgy

[remote oak]

wait mercs were actually from usa in lore at one point and it was just changed to mercenaries? @finite dragon

[toxic vector]

do you guys know what is missing in these mud tests?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3kComQz40o

they forgot to test the quick cleaning ability of these guns, just show these guns can seal the chamber in dirty condition or not

[hushed current]

I’d say there nothing more then renamed bandits they have no lore no leader no named members there actions are never explained there just people to shoot at I think the only reason they where made was so there could be two faction wars involving bandits

[finite dragon]

I like to think that Renegades are group of bandits who sick of their current leader Yoga

they could be bandit new rival if they didnt got wiped out by clear sky in red forest

[remote crow]

IM SCREAMING SOMEONE SAID THAT STRELOK LOOKS LIKE JEFF BESOS AND I CANT UNSEE IT

[finite dragon]

Hm?

Someone pinged me?

[finite dragon]

I got an i5-7600k and a GTX1080

Changed out the paste on the 1080 yesterday. Did the fire eye thing test. Didn't go over 65 degrees

Great succsess

Can play VR no problemoes

[finite dragon]

I mean

He is kinda right

[opaque parrot]

@finite dragon 1080 or 1660? What's better?

I have 1050ti atm

Gonna buy a new GPU next month finally

[hazy helm]

the 1080 is slightly better,slightly tho,this assuming you can even get one

[finite dragon]

"Slightly"

[hazy helm]

for the price you can find them

right now

[finite dragon]

Good luck finding both of them

[hazy helm]

exactly

[finite dragon]

You could have gotten a used 1080 for the price of a new 1660ti before the rtx 3000 series launched

[hazy helm]

unfortunatly I couldnt get one

[finite dragon]

But 1080s were always rare

I managed to get one just before the mining craze

Days before

Back in 2017

The 1080 specs are way better than the 1660ti

[hazy helm]

about 22-26 % better yes

but you cant even get a 1660ti rn at a reasonable price

[finite dragon]

The 1660ti really only has a new architecture and newer vram, but it gives no advantage over the 1080 whatsoever. They're limited.

1080 is just miles ahead

20-30% is a good chunk

[hazy helm]

I just want a 3060ti man

[finite dragon]

You'll get a 4060ti

[finite dragon]

Sup stalkers, any good addons for anomaly?

[quick dune]

vanilla trilogy

[robust forge]

The uninstall button

[finite dragon]

So i should only play vanilla with no mods

[quick dune]

no

i said you should play the original games

without mods

[finite dragon]

Ye

The gun play on them is kinda weird

[quick dune]

it's fine

[robust forge]

You've learned it empirically or through some youtuber's review?

[finite dragon]

I played the games a few times

[robust forge]

What ending did you get in ShoC then

[finite dragon]

The guns are good for zhat time

I got the wishgranter and destroy the zone

I passed the game 2 times

[quick dune]

we're just making sure no new guy comes around and tells himself that anomaly is the god of stalker games without realising it's bland

[robust forge]

Yup

Anomaly is meh

[final wing]

Yeah

[finite dragon]

So original games best?

[quick dune]

yes

[final wing]

Yeah

[hazy helm]

OG games are better than anomaly

yes

[finite dragon]

Sry but originals are kinda unpolished

[quick dune]

wdym

it's a game from 2007

[finite dragon]

Oh yea

[quick dune]

if u need any bugfixes then you can install bugfix mods

[finite dragon]

Its bit bugs

Not

[final wing]

Zrp is best for bug fixing

[finite dragon]

The games just kinda weird idk a bit

[quick dune]

you mean the graphics or

[final wing]

But the complete mod is terrible don't install it

[finite dragon]

Graphics can be good

[quick dune]

a good game doesn't need good graphics

[hazy helm]

anomaly strays too far from what Stalker is supposed to be to be better than the OG's in my opinion,it barely resembles it anymore and the more addons one puts the less it feels

[final wing]

Minecraft and terraria

[finite dragon]

Its ok graphs

[final wing]

I agree

[quick dune]

atmosphere is gone when it comes to anomalalaly

[hazy helm]

if you want to put addons be my guest

[finite dragon]

Some gameplays mechanics are just a bit wweird but its ok for 2007

[hazy helm]

but we assume you already played the OG before anomaly

[finite dragon]

I did

All of them

[hazy helm]

yhea

[quick dune]

gameplay mechanics are weird for soc

[hazy helm]

too many idiots telling newbies that the OG games are bad and anomaly is the god

[final wing]

Also anomaly is unstable for installing mods on my computer so I'ma stick with coc

[quick dune]

soc is like the primitive version of stalker kinda since it's the first game

[hazy helm]

what are you trynna do then,with the mods

[finite dragon]

Improve the game even more

[hazy helm]

that depends on what you mean by improve

[finite dragon]

New tasks animations and guns

[hazy helm]

it's to me the Best,CoP being the worst in the series

[finite dragon]

But that looses stalker charm and atmosfere

Sry if i misspelled

[hazy helm]

Provak weapon pack,and the animation pack for consumables

[final wing]

Boomstick and sharp sticks is a good addon

[finite dragon]

Thankss

[hazy helm]

mhe,Provak contains that and many others

[peak minnow]

Aggressor modpack is good for anomaly, i have 10+ hours in it

[final wing]

Oh i never knew that

[hazy helm]

anomaly already lost the stalker charm

[quick dune]

the best for me is clear sky

[finite dragon]

Soc vanilla is my fav

[final wing]

For me cop

[hazy helm]

nha,its more of a Tarkov wattered down than Stalker

[robust forge]

Provak is the best one yet, but when Gunslinger gets fully realised it will take the throne

[final wing]

Yeah

[finite dragon]

Ye i guess its kinda knock off tarkov

[hazy helm]

gunslinger is basically animation pron

[robust forge]

Gunslinger makes one thing right

It doesn't shower you in weapons

[grand pendant]

@finite dragon swearing isn't allowed btw

[hazy helm]

it integrates them in the world also

[robust forge]

Yup

And into the weapons sandbox

[finite dragon]

Ah sry i just described it

[finite dragon]

Wont happen again

[grand pendant]

[finite dragon]

[robust forge]

I really like Gunslinger for what it aims to do

It's not just weapons for the sake of being weapons

[finite dragon]

Guess i gotta get up 12 30 pm imma get some breakfast

[hazy helm]

I love the dedication the guys put in them,flashlights and visible weapon modifications,smth I did not think was possible in Xray

[grand pendant]

absolutely everything is possible on xray

[finite dragon]

See ya guys thank for suggestions

[grand pendant]

you just need the time and knowledge

[final wing]

Bye

[hazy helm]

with enough crashes

[grand pendant]

cya

[final wing]

Yeah

[hazy helm]

cya

[robust forge]

Cya mate

Have a good meal

[grand pendant]

nah, bugs and crashes aren't a necessary part of the equation

[robust forge]

And yeah, everything is possible in xRay

Have you seen the vid from one modder where he puts an angled sight on an angled sight?

[hazy helm]

nha I didnt

I know you can tho

[final wing]

Does cop have a canonical ending

[grand pendant]

not yet

[finite dragon]

🇴

[mighty compass]

They are but if you played trough the originals mods are fun to do something different

[finite dragon]

fighting over mods and vanilla won't solve the problem

[mighty compass]

They are both good

[blissful coyote]

bruh

is it just me or do u guys also don't like the voice acting in call of pripyat

[finite dragon]

English VO is a meme in CoP

But russian is just MMMM

Overall, like russian VO in all of the eastern european games are just great

[grand pendant]

english va is a meme in CoP, but ultra keyed in SoC/CS

[finite dragon]

keyed

I see you bought into the /tv/ forced meme

[grand pendant]

t. used the meme when it was cool but abandoned it now that it's dead

[finite dragon]

It was funny for one day to troll the people who freaked out over its usage

[grand pendant]

bro look around for yours keys

you're totally locked

[finite dragon]

i tried play cop on Russian language

i don't understand anything but it's cool

[sharp frost]

jusr bosted sevr

[tired anvil]

[finite dragon]

cool now give me nitro

[tired anvil]

Sure, give me 15 bucks

[naive epoch]

Yo I have a question

What's the general opinion on metro here?

[finite dragon]

never played it idk

yeah lol i feel like I'm actual in a war when i hear those Russian words

[tired anvil]

Pretty positive? A lot like it here, a lot prefer stalker, can't say there's a lot of hate for it

[naive epoch]

A while back some people had other things to say about them

Tbh they are quite different

[finite dragon]

I feel lucky to know it while playing lol, feels so much more immersive

[naive epoch]

But stalker is on another level

[finite dragon]

I just wish I could scream back

[naive epoch]

And I've only played SoC yet

[grand pendant]

i think metro 2033 is pretty meh, haven't finished the rest

[wary cove]

Good game, just wished it had some more replayability (?)

[finite dragon]

i would like to learn Russian but again it's not gonna be easy. it's gonna take like 10 years to know just like I'm learning English

[naive epoch]

I wish it had too

So after finishing SoC

[finite dragon]

just learn the swears and thats enough for stalker 😛

[naive epoch]

What's the next step?

CoP?

[finite dragon]

CS

i learn some swear words in Swedish

[naive epoch]

Isn't it a prequel?

[tired anvil]

Well, dislike obviously exists, but it's not like an anti-metro mod here

[grand pendant]

release order is better

[tired anvil]

Personally I wasn't a huge fan of 2033 but Exodus was pretty decent when I tried it

[finite dragon]

yeah you play it after you know the events of SoC, also if you do play it make sure to install the "Sky Restoration Patch"

[wary cove]

Yeah
Also wished it had some more randomization

[naive epoch]

Yeah Exodus obviously is the best one gameplay wise

[finite dragon]

i have metro 2033 but never played it

[naive epoch]

If only the levels were a bit more interesting

Too little to do and no reason to engage in combat

[tired anvil]

@naive epoch pro tip, play Stalker with 0 mods

[finite dragon]

Sky Restoration Patch is a must tho

[naive epoch]

A shame reall because the guns feel good

[tired anvil]

No

It really isn't

Reclamation* btw

[naive epoch]

I am actually

[grand pendant]

Project

[finite dragon]

The artifacts dont spawn properly without it, and I crashed several times to the point where I got annoyed and restarted with SRP

[tired anvil]

I've completed every single game in the series multiple times with 0 mods

[finite dragon]

I dont think SRP changes anything gameplay wise

[naive epoch]

I might be lucky or something but only 1 crash so far

[tired anvil]

I swear if people get constant crashes on any of the games their PC must still be from 2005 or something

[grand pendant]

wdym they don't spawn properly?

[finite dragon]

they dont respawn in the base game because of a bug

i only use artifact in soc but not in cop. i usually sell it

ive done SoC and CoP without mods but needed it for CS

[tired anvil]

I hate to sound like a fanboy/gateskeeper but damn I've literally never had issues with any of the games on multiple playthroughs

[grand pendant]

SoC artifacts don't respawn

[finite dragon]

yeah but CS has a new system where its meant to respawn

after blowouts

cause they are rarer by default

[grand pendant]

And for CS arts to respawn you have to wait exactly 4 hours and 48 minutes in the location

blowouts do not affect respawn

[naive epoch]

When I first stated vanilla I though it was going a horrendous experience, kinda like vanilla fallout nv

[finite dragon]

but is there any specific reason not to play with SRP?

[grand pendant]

yes, gameplay changes

[tired anvil]

Yes, it's useless and can sometimes do more damage than “fixing”

[naive epoch]

What's this "SRP"?

[tired anvil]

Sky-Reclamation-Project

[finite dragon]

thats only in the optional patches

[finite dragon]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/srp

[tired anvil]

A supposed bug fixing mod that a lot of people say is needed, but in reality it isn't

[naive epoch]

Ok then

[finite dragon]

i don't like cs. yes call me a bussy if you want to

[tired anvil]

I mean if you don't like it, that's your opinion and there's nothing wrong with that

[naive epoch]

When I finish the trilogy

[tired anvil]

But saying that SRP is needed like it's a fact is just straight up wrong
