nope
CoC or anomaly or lost alpha?
I guarentee you if GSC had more time 90% of the stuff in SRP would be in CS because its mostly just bugfixes
OLR
Or Lost Alpha
CoC/Anomaly are just empty worlds pretty much
I don't know that one
see, you could get 7N14 off Red Forest Mine Trader.
It had all parameters of 7N1 but it had explosion effect, stacked differently and was more expensive.
SRP tried to fix this but instead of changing that mistake they made 7N14 a normal item that is everywhere.
Oblivion Lost Remake
It's a mod that pretty much strives to achieve what the original game was supposed to be
I dont even know what the 7N14 is lmao 
As the game got remade like 5 times before we got Shadow of Chernobyl
explains why you believe SRP is just bugfixing
(Get 2.5 btw, 3.1 is something else)
Well, OLR is more like what the game was intended to be before the final product, not quite like vanilla, but more so like the original idea
As in good or bad?
anyone don't want to talk about priboi soc mod?
as in totally different
As in bad/random af/not related to the original idea
Crap
I guess unless you are going to extensivley explore it theres no reason not to install it then cause changes like that are if you rigorously play it through, but I only did that with CoP and SoC
the other 10% are bad changes
I guess lol but I didnt really notice em
Well it's only fitting that the modders also lost in chasing the original idea
which is why i don't recommend it to first time players
CS was much more like a linear shooter for me vs the other 2. I liked it, but I didnt feel as inclined to explore as much as I did to shoot because the shooting in CS was very fun
no, he means that 3.1 is actually just SoC with some random stuff modded into it.
OLR 2.5 is a very well done representation of desdocs
That's weird honestly
How did it happen?
You know what the story is probably too long and complicated
Thanks for the help everyone
Cheers
it happened because Oblivion Lost Remake and Oblivion Lost (mod) were just different things from the start

funny how like CoC started the craze of freeplay mods
by just slapping all the maps from the entries
Well I'm glad it happened
Gee, I wonder if it's due to people wanting to explore the place instead of getting railroaded or sumtin
there must be a mod that makes the text english and the language russian
If metro wasn't trash and mods were possible for it I'm sure we would have another craze there
I think metro is pretty good for me personally it has a good story and lore
there is, for the 3 games actually
nice
on modDB?
yep, search for "russian audio" or smth
aight
When i installed a Russian VA mod for shoc at the opening cutscenes the English va and Russian VA played at the same time
it simply replaces english audio files for the russian ones, leaving text in eng
Is there a way to fix this
that can't really happen, the files overwrite each other
Idk for me it happened
I'ma try other Russian VA mod maybe the one I'm using is terrible
and the opening cutscenes are videos, the audio is burned on it
i want russian audio, cuz the english voice lines in CoP are trash
Yeah
if only brumo joines freedom, him talking with lazy would be crazy
father valerian making me actin unwise
it's just that in the other games, the english voices sound nice,
but in CoP it sounds bad
worm food

That's the point
Yeah isn't that the point?
None exist afaik
Also, if there's going to be drivable vehicles in Stalker 2
I really want to hear either Highway to Hell or Highway to the Danger Zone on the radio
It fits
GSC already commented on the matter of vehicles in an interview
They don't want vehicles in the game
No vehicles please, trash opinion
Simple as that
which interview?

Might be in one of the russian podcasts
It actually makes sense why vehicles aren't present in the zone because how are you supposed to smuggle it through the military
Can't remember
zakhar one?
No idea
the road is hella small and the location is not really big
Not just that
is there a chance you might be misremebering?
The whole concept of the game isn't meant for vehicles
Theres a lot of reasons but biggest one is that if everyone remembers in all games with any semblance of open space theres anomalies blocking everything
Its about storytelling and exploring, not rushing through on 4 wheels
Yeah that's a fair point lol
Yeah it would ruin the exploration if you can madmax through garbage
would be cool if they remake the cut map and put it to stalker 2 like dead city 
Also if vehicles were added then the devs would need to WASTE time redesigning areas for those vehicles so the autists who wanted vehicles in the first place don't go "hurr durr theres vehicles but you can't use them anywere"
See what 4A tried with Exodus
XD
dead city design is actually cool but it's just too small. sad
It works but it's kind of bland, the driving part
I need to continue metro Exodus honestly
Hhahaha
Gsc could make it bigger because now game development is advanced
I have one glorious yet wicked idea about vehicles
Let's hear it
Sure, go on
Yes, make another fallout 3 where most of the map is blocked by rubble to hide the fact theres literally nothing to do
Add one vehicle, the NIVA and make it so you can drive it only within Pripyat. Blast the horn through the city while crushing every zombified stalker a la Carmageddon.
Will totally not impact on gameplay at all
😄
Fallout new Vegas is the only good 3d fallout game
don't forget fo1 and 2
yes 

Beautiful idea
It's fun but it's unforgiving
Good idea
Vehicles are a waste, the second you come across a pack of dogs you'll throw it away to avoid having to repair it
Custom Lada Niva, 600+ HP engine, 6-speed DIY transmission, extra bumper for protection, stuff
If you find a chimera or a giant it'll probably get oneshot

how about stalker multiplayer like battlefield. Going to pripyat and kill all the Monolith in the roof. that would be fun asf

get rpg'ed
How about mmorpg styled stalker
Scorched brains
When will there be a doom-like scene where there's just a raid of monoliths that you can just absolutely crush through?
How about another round of Bad Blood but its Stalker

stalker Minecraft mode
you mean SoC Sarcophagus 
I wouldn't mind a free for all standoff during s2
How about a simple PMm v. PMm mode whether its AI only or complete PVP
Well, that would be... If it wasn't for the fact that I either succumb to radiation sickness or get kicked in by 50+ monolith
Remember how in all games at some point you need to get some crazy rare artifact, make the player come near the place and have other groups also charge in from other routes
Then it's a fight for the artifact and the payout
@grand pendant @solid dome all they said about vehicles is “have you seen the gas prices lately?” which I take it as a friendly way of them telling us to piss off regarding car questions 
could also mean, very few vehicles and of very little use
I imagine next to no use, but yea
that was the reddit thread right? interesting
Same
Yup
For me anything that emits radiation gets dunked, making me waste a slot to negate the sickness
They know quite well if they go with "No, not happening" people will be pissed, so they went with the smart response
Can relate, yeah
the smart response being not responding 
I doubt Stalker 2 will compete with Metro anyway, neither vice versa
Not responding is what Techland did
flashes and moonlights all day
Killed their hype
wrong reply, rip
Lol
The smart response is answering "why don't you go play some modded fallout you scrubs"
Ha!
I saw the message, ur fine
What did the Sloth say?
oh no, i was replying to @frail spire with flashes and moonlights. Because these are very good
most hated ones are probably the useless ones
Alright, I gotta head out
Cya guys
Peace out
If I had to say honestly most hated one would be the ones that only raise stamina regen, pretty useless considering that if you go over the weight limit you'll drain them off instantly.
Of course this is without taking into account stamina stacking
Also urchins because I always get like 3 of those but not a single anti-bleed art
Or which was the ones that drained radiation in exchange for constant bleeding?
yeah, urchin
Good idea
For me I hated blood stone because i thought it increases maximum health but it's actually health regen
Yes
Actually bloodstone is a my fav, you don't have to be constantly using medkits and even if you're bleeding out the health regen stacked keeps you from dying
But it's like a clickbait video but yeah it's useful
The thing I hate the most isn't being oneshoted but having to constantly bandage myself up because I got grazed
In the end the medkit I end up using is due to the bleedout doing more than half-bar worth of hp
Upgrade them you dum
Can't You in CS too?
Then it is useless
you can carry more stuff with exo
Yeah but walking is unbearable
I will be using these extra resources I'm carrying on the journey
More weapons is a plus I guess
Sooo I just shot my way through monolith to brain scorcher and shut it down. In Anomaly mod. Then fought my way back out. I just feel like I aged 10 years...
Yo
Soc lab x 16 scariest
x18 is not so scary
Anyone else thinks strelok looks like jef bezos
X16 is scary theres nothing around the psy the brain and stuff aand abandoned plant snorks
X18 is meh theres ppl around atleast
In x16 the stairs go even further but their in the ground meaning well never understand its dark secrets
I don't see how X-16 would be scary, tbh
X16 is more of a shooting gallery
snork jumping around and zombies
Just everything else is not that scary
Theres ppl around
Over here its just the psy and monsters
And u get a controller at the end
And
Are you referring to only the Labs or also the locations where they're at?
Shooting gallery
Same
Nice
On my next i had a G36 and a seva suit i think
Whole another story
When i was in x16 i had the no NPC bug
So it was easy for me
No mutants, no enemies
So no controller to fight
is it normal for 2 monolith in exoskeletons to spawn next to you wherever you quick load in the sarcophagus?
in SoC
Getting 5 souls or 5 mamas beads can make you nearly invincible
So nobody?
Is there a stalker waifu mod
Dear god
Idk
Reload ur save near the npp
Then get in sarcophagus
They should get a different spawn
Can you find the night star in agroprom?
that looks like a phone/PDA?
unread notification
press P and look around
you throw a bolt to calculate their position, you can get artifacts from them
if it pulses ig you mean the electro
yep, though in SoC ||you can't really get artifacts from anomalies like that||
press 6, they are unlimited
throw it at it, yeah
agreed
now you know what would happen to you if you were the bolt 
avoid them
there's gonna be more info about the different types of anomalies in your PDA as you go finding them
when you find yourself carrying too much just stash some of the immediatly useless stuff, you can sell it later if you deem them totally useless
2011 leak?
I think it'd be so cool to play the pre cancel and revival stalker 2 builds
Stalker lost alpha 2
I pray Lox won't get super angry about this and leave the community entirely
He's an international treasure
It is possible in Anamoly to do a Awakened Monolith playthough? 
I haven't played much of CoC
I want to try a lot of mods so I can get a good opinion on all of them
So I can say it form my experience
So in vanilla cop, which is better the tunder or the ac-96/c?
The Thunder imo
If you pay Nimble and the RNG gods favour you he cna hand you a version of the Thunder called the Storm which is a Storm that uses 5.54x39 and has a larger magazine
Upgraded it gets stupid accurate
Coc was fun back in the day
Anomaly, though
Who
I'm playing it rn
Its good but Anamoly has some QOL things that CoC doesn't have or atleast that I haven't gotten to yet
Yeah it’s fub
fun
Like disassembing guns
My stash box at Sidoravichs bunker is filled with AKS I will never repeair
Sorry if it's pinned somewhere, but do we have a definite release date yet?
Boo

Hi! Any hope for an a appereance this week at E3 Microsoft conference?
I hope it's a new trailer
Break them down, then
What's a Halo
Not sure if you’re joking or not tbh
Oh, you're new. It's alright.
Loxatron is a legendary member of the community. He is a mod developer and has tons of connections. 90% of all stalker builds were released by him. He is the reason why we have a lot of the cut content material.
But, that being said, he doesn't always leak material. He is still holding back a lot. The latest stalker 2 from 2011 leak wasn't done by him. It was supposed to be released after the new stalker 2 released, but someone else took his stuff and released it instead.
So now, he must be just furious. Someone betrayed him, probably. So I just hope nothing happens now.
Yeah, but I'd have needed to be introduced to it as a kid
Never going to feel nostalgic over it
Can only hope
I see
how does he get the leaks?
just connections? datamining?
Connections
Datamining has been done like the day of release
That's how whack the russians are
Russian/ukrainian
Srry
Cuz why not
It’s cheap and has halo
Also looks cool
A 360 is all you need for the Good And Only Halos.
Why not buy the master chief edition for pc
"SRP {...} made 7N14 a normal item that is everywhere."
False. 7N14 appears in exactly the same places in the SRP as it does in vanilla. All the SRP does to 7N14 is correct its name so that it doesn't incorrectly report itself as 7N1. For details, see https://github.com/Decane/SRP/issues/12#issuecomment-476835185.
I really like the thunder
Oh boy, you're the SRP dev!
Thanks for not really messing around with the game
Unlike ZRP, SRP is pretty vanilla friendly
i see, apologize for the misinformation then.
But i gotta ask, if you removed the AKM-74/2 added in 1.5.09 why not definitely remove 7N14, as it is probably a mistake too?
Add the retail quests removed in later patches pls
I'm just curious about something I just saw on FB
Since when does an AK use 5.56?
Doesn't it use 5.45?
Or 7.62? What was it?
I guess you upgraded it
No.
It's a bugfix mod
Doesn't change anything else besides fixing bugs
Well, at least it claims to
Okay thought it mean stalker role play
ZRP - Zone Reclamation Project
SRP - Sky Reclamation Project
Some things are better left alone. The slight 7N14 presence can be a fun easter egg to some players. Why mess with it?
I'm not entirely convinced that the few instances of 7N14 are a mistake, either. If GSC really wanted to purge the 7N14 presence from the game, renaming to 7N1 seems like an oddly hacky way to accomplish that, given that there was nothing stopping them from just replacing "ammo_7.62x54_7h14" with "ammo_7.62x54_7h1" wherever appropriate.
As for the starting AK - intentional or not, it's a cheat that perverts starting gear progression and contradicts Scar's dialogue with Suslov. So, it's not coming back regardless of what GSC's intentions were.
Ok
Somewhere between "mountain" and "glacier".

There's all kindas of different caliber AK's
Some loaded in .22lr, some in .308 and the ever so elusive .50cal AK
If you're not picky and don't mind some legally questionable practices you can make a gun that's close enough to an AK to pass casual inspection and have it built to fire whatever ammunition you design it to fire.
I'm sure someone's made a 5.56 AK knockoff if nothing else
I think I am gonna try STALKERSOUP
If You really want to try a soup mod, don't go with stalkersoup
It's Even glitchier and crashier
Go with NS2016 or OP2.1
(mind that those are still jank fests, but well it's soup mods so yeah)
Evening, fellow Stalkers.
Man, STALKER 2 is the only non-medieval game I’m looking forward to right now.
Same its the only game I am looking forward to this year
Ok who changed the Strelok page on the stalker wiki, please stand up

What was it changed to?
Can't say exactly
Don't wanna get banned you know

WTF this si great
"One of the most experienced and capable stalkers in the Grove street, Strelok and his OGs are some of the few people that managed to reach the Ballas teritory and live to tell the tale." 
I'm so suprised that people still play Shadow of Chernobyls multiplayer
I am hesitent to connect to the servers though 
In first-person Strelok is apparently shorter than the other stalkers he meets, this is most likely because he's a soyboy loser, scar is better than him.
That makes alot of sense
Have achievements that impact gameplay been discussed at all?
I really liked how CoP did those. Achievements meaning something is pretty cool.
I like it alot aswell
Like how SPOILERS FOR CALL OF PRIPYAT ||Getting all of members of the squad together for Jupiter Underground gives you all a Damage resistance buff|| or ||If you solve the missing stalkers in Zaton you get free meds||
@finite dragon @vestal laurel @copper sky just so you know, this is a coordinated attempt at trolling the vanilla purists. Not so long ago was the purist server raided
Same style
well, the eng wiki was a joke for vanilla purists
This might sound overdramatic, but the process of gathering a squad and journeying to Pripyat was one of the most atmospheric and intriguing game segments I’ve ever experienced.
I absolutely digged it.
Same I played CoP when I was a teenager and thats always what I rmeber from the game
i like the pripyat ambience but too bad the map is not big
At the end of the day, it's pretty realistic and people can't chose what they want for S2, so it'll be a mess one way or another
I am trying the warfare mode for Anomaly for the first time
This mode is so silly especially if you crank up the spawns and head into Monolith terrority
The fight for the Army Warehouse complex took so long that there was two emissions during the fighting and still trying to hold my ground with one member of Duty.
i love to see the VZ 58 and its modernized setup in stalker 2 https://media.moddb.com/cache/images/members/1/559/558367/thumb_620x2000/Comparing_modernized_VZ58_and_CZ805.png
GAh... Im honestly dying to see something new and more of Stalker 2 T. T
Also sure they are nice. But most of us end up using AS Val / Vss anyways xD
i hope there will be aggro/ stealth builds based on weapon choices
As long as they make npcs not have an built-in uav when doing sniping I'm good
Makes the whole point of sniping moot
I can wait until I'm 21 years old for a new stalker 2 video
I mean seriously, you can't really sneak around since everything you do makes noise but the second you lose sight of an npc they'll end up behind you making absolutely no distinct noise
Anomaly being the biggest offender since they went "we can't really make the ai smarter so we'll just drop bushes everywhere making being able to scout a place useless"
Making me wonder why remove the sonar helmet in the first place
Stealth has always been wonky in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. But if you can get good at it you can really breeze through the game
which is better
clear sky zone or SoC zone
soc
clear sky feels so happy

soc feels dark and depressing and that is how a great game were made
I just realized that the garbage has the most anomalies in the smallest space, if not the most anomalies in one area
garbage is heavily radioactive
maybe even the second most radioactive place in the zone
only some spots
I'd say CS Zone
If I recall right, the Dark Valley and Red Forest have the most anomalies around
Garbage has more radiation hot spots than anomalies tho
And the most radiation hot spots in the entire Zone so far
CNPP excluded ofc
I’d say shadow of Chernobyl has the best atmosphere out of any of the stalker games
Hence why I come back to it the most.
Man, SOC really is the most replayable out of the three
It's been like a month since the last time i played it but now i decided to play it again
It was still just as fun as the first time
except clearing the agroprom army base, that one was never fun
Why is this still on the wiki?
In early 2002, it was planned for the blind dogs to be an intelligent, sapient race that evolved extremely quickly due to the Monolith evolutionary module.
The blind dogs were to declare a "holy war" against all of human kind and were preparing an invasion of human lands. They were supposed to be led by 'shamans' and were supposed to eat narcotic mutagenic grass to increase their strength. The player was supposed to fight a blind dog warrior somewhere in the game and was supposed to be given a task by the blind dog leader to destroy the dwarves in X18. They also were to have minor psionic abilities.
Because it reminds us to laugh at people who take it too seriously?
No matter how they ended up here or in alternative universes, they are still the most annoying mutant.
Because this is actually from the design docs.
I'd honestly go to the "dwarf leader" just so i can betray the blind dogs, they suck anyway
Gah.... Stalker 2 is honestly the ONLY game im waiting to play. My heart yearns back home.
it's even worse for me, i'm waiting for two great games and it hurts
What's the other one?
Fallout new vegas 2 
will stalker be getting a e3 showcase?
Unfortunately we have no idea
I guess its just a matter of waiting around and hoping for the best
Only like a week left to wait and find out, yea
Some areas really dont have enough anomalous fields.
Hopefully they're well spaced in STALKER 2
agreed
the ones in zaton are great, the ones in jupiter are alright but the pripyat ones are meh
I think the CoP maps had the most effort put in
yes
what would be cool is being able to find special artefacts in certain anomalies
Yeah, tough ones in obscure areas
I am hopeful and hesistent
Fallout has burned me twice so far
Todd Howard doesn't want mechanics that make you plan out your build
The normies don't like that
Fallout New Vegas 2 comes out
Its multiplayer only
Looter shooter
No RPG mechanics at all besides stats for raids

Don't let Bethesda touch it
The Elder Scrolls 6 will only have Two Handed weapons because big sword is cool, only destruction magic, all other forms of magic are used by NPC only, liner story with no choice, nine hundred randomly generated dungeons that drop random loot ranked from Uncommon to Elder ranks with no leveling system when you level up its just a screen saying you now have +1 to HP, MP, and STAM
So blades

Please no
where is anything related to stalker
Its related to STALKER because of my personal fear that with the departed old staff and alot of new talent, alongside Microsoft's involvement I fear that STALKER 2 might be chasing trends instead of being a Story Focus FPS RPG 
It's probably going to be Metro with an inventory system and open world
So Metro Exodus 
Well if it helps, they have some of the original staff now
Idk, that's the one I haven't touched
It was epic exclusive for so long I forgot about it
Its open world with some survival elements
Probably my favorite game-play of the trilogy but least favorite story.
Just read the books
I read 2033
i wouldn’t touch exodus
it strayed too far from the original games
too much to do
turning a more linear game into a semi-linear game
A very linear game with semi-open world elements
i’d rather stay in the metro
I want a Metro game that functions like Anomaly
With different playable factions from the novels
It is only partially bloated.
Those parts are useful on the hardest economy setting where spraying 5 too many handgun rounds will set you back a mission's pay
where u can choose factions
i mean random stuff like photos and other weird stuff
crafting wasn’t a good choice either
so much stuff to craft and so much to do with it it gets confusing
I like the upkeep system. It makes me feel like a strong, independent STALKER who can take care if their stuff
u can play coc if u really want an average freeplay stalker game
Though, the weapon kits being used up in three alterations at the vice is heckin' stoopid
I just hope Stalker 2 has some faction dynamics going on.
Is it tackling a different time period, or is it chronologically following CoP?
I think its following after Call of Pripyat
Psure it's confirmed to happen after CoP
Yes
S2 could take place in 2015, or 2018, or 2020, or Even further...
We don't know yet
Well if we go by the STALKER games that have been released with them taking place roughly within a year of eachother then my guess is that STALKER 2 is gonna be in 2021/22
202_ seems to be the aimed years (ingame), yeah
Seeing how different the Zone looks
If theres a E3 showcase I think I might die
I just want to see gameplay and know how theyll handle gunplay
TBH I would be fine if it had CoP's gunplay just with less RNG bullets 
It simple enough that anyone can master it
Thing is
It's been over 10 years
It certainly won't (and just can't) have the same gunplay
So i wonder if they are going with something genéric, or something realistic or something in between
Did they just got into the team or have been there for some time now?
A while now
Strelok is def my fav character of them all
Also is the zone gone after soc?
@tired anvil could you answer this question as a stalker veteran and moderator..? Sorry for the ping.
Idm the ping. Just one question for you real quick - have you played CoP? @finite dragon
I have
Well, it takes place after SoC and is in the Zone, so yea, it exists
Haha 
Damn i named my CoC character strelok on accident and i can't change it
Ah well
Doesn't matter
I thought it was in Crimea next to the nuclear power plant there
I love stalker
It's one of my favorite games
Same
Same I can never get bored of it
I thought fallout was a good post apoc games and then i regret playing it
Wait why did my message just disappear
I didn't swear or anything
You did
Ok
Bot didn't like the nono poop word
poo
U know what the best about stalker coc is?
You can be a REAL stalker
Not a special person
Just a normal stalker
I mean look at SoC, you begin as a nobody
Paraphrase: I can get blown up, destroyed, ripped to pieces and blasted to hell, but I'm still going to reload my previous save
Top ten stalker fans who swore

CoC is like a taco where you can put anything in it
Po para- 
Gotta stay strong Billy
I hate that there isn't any true neutral faction in coc
Po v*ln-
I'm 20-30 hours into a Warfare game but I'm burned out
Might as well go all hostile
Hey you cool dudes and cold blooded comrades
All out war
If you're looking to be appreciated and treated like family
Sometimes I return but I end up only playing 2 to 3 hours before I get bored of clicking heads and running back to the trader when I get overweight
Sometimes I wait for S2
That's freedom all the way! There's no chores, no brainwashing and no morning wake up drills.
In fact it's been years now 
If you're a real stalker who loves the free life and the company of like-minded fellows, join right in!
We've always got cold booze for new blood!
Yay
Freedom are just banditos in uniform
??
Censoring also doesn't slide here btw, but you won't get striked for that
Source: Duty
No AK
Freedom is best
All factions have their own good pointers though
I wish I had my Freedom video on me rn
Imagine using Western NATO weapons over Soviet weaponry
This post was made by AK gang
Imagine being a Roblox roleplayer clan
This post was made by freedom gang
I am planning on selling all my NATO arms and using my AK-12 and SV-98 for warfare from now on
Imagine having to smoke weed because you can't deal with the horrors of the Zone
This post was made by Duty gang
Imagine not allowing your members to have fun
This post was made by freedom gang
They can drink in the 100 Rads Bar off-duty
Imagine not using superior Eastern Bloc weaponry
This post was made by Duty gang
Yes see
Off duty
That means that they're not truly free
Because people actually have a sense of responsibility here
I like online debates
We don't need responsibility
imagine not killing the dog in rostok entrance
Ammunition is valuable
And Dutyers can actually aim and have coordinated attacks properly mind you
They always seem to miss me
Freedom also seems to love attacking Duty in CS with SVDs up close
Yeah
Meanwhile a single Duty expert with a PKM can take out an entire Freedom squad
Freedom faction war was fun though
Especially if you have a lot of nades
Duty are nazis
Lmao
Freedom are anarchists and are like Antifa
Lmao
What are some good stalker mods
change the past strelok
thx
Coc
I am already playing hat one
Nothing
It's just escape form tarkov
But in a stalker setting
Play call of chernobyl
Or ust the vanilla games
gotcha, thks for the heads up
Simply overhyped
I feel bad cuz I'm not playing stalker at DirectX 11
It's not that big of a difference
im using directx 10 rn
Just a mod with a bunch of things mish mashed together
u mean solyanka?
Yea
yeah ic ic
don't
the mod is joke
Well you know what go ahead try it
i don't wanna force you
Why a joke
The name isn't an exaggeration, it was just a bit of a meme in the past
It’s real?
Like I heard that it is very hard and stuff
The name isn't false advertising, so yea
Wow...ok then my bad I was wrong
what do you guys think about last day
Yo

Whaat you got in there a-shot?
What’s last day?
A more difficult variation of call of miseru
Damn harder than misery
misery in my bones
I just started on my attempt to try to finish the Anomaly storyline so I can get a clearer picture of why people love it so much
As a rule I will not be allowed to make multiple purchases beyond 100k at a time
I also cannot go Monolith hunting in AW
And have to stick to southern areas till im done with Lab X-16
Just so I won't get burned out and quit
I like anomaly even thought the stalker vibes are gone but my computer can't handle it because my computer is trash
And to lengthen the hobo phase
Potato adoon exists you know
my potato couldn't handle it too but after installing potato addon I was able to get 20-30 FPS
And my potato is from 2009 and struggles to run chrome
Thanks I'll try it
yeah just google "stalker anomaly potato addon rammaken"
gonna download anomaly tomorrow. i will get a new router and i can finally download it without waiting for about 1 hour
Ram also made potato addon for AREA iirc
It's for himself too he lives in Venezuela
And has 3GB RAM
I have trouble getting back into Anomaly though, after barely 15 minutes I am reminded of why I don't really like the mod and have an overwhelming urge to return to my OP-2.1/OGSR playthrough
I have never modded stalker i just play it as is
good thing people are not ripping on people for enjoying anomaly
because it is
Kind of
autism moment
overrated in a sense that many new people think it's a good first game
Yes, it is technically impressive. There are s!!!tons of addons that make such an old and crashy game look and feel like Escape from Tarkov, and I get the appeal there. The gunplay and combat feels very good and smooth, almost on par with industrial standards, and they have added a healthy selection of different weapons and armours although having 1001 AK variants seems a little too excessive. They somehow managed to bring an old game with an engine barely held together by duct tape into the modern era, and they added a lot of visual improvements as well as various other aspects I will not go into detail about, you can find plenty of people talking about what Anomaly does well. For the first 50 to 60 hours it is extremely interesting and you're like "this is the best mod ever", but after that interest gradually wanes and declines.
Personally, I don't like a few aspects of Anomaly. The story and quests are complete s!!!, running around the map to do X and Y gets very boring quickly. I understand there's the hobo phase where the game is fun as hell, but it doesn't change the fact that the story is forgettable and very repetitive. Besides, the hobo phase isn't even that long with the crappy balance where you can get the best gear and guns in a few hours if you know where to look. (Clue: Monolithians in the Army Warehouses.) Warfare mode is just a Battlefield-style point capture mode, fun to play for the first few hours but not really what I consider stalker. It gets boring after a while too as it boils down to a war of attrition and whittling down enemy troops and bases.
Some of the mechanics are rather poorly implemented as well. Cooking food is pointless since clean canned/preserved food is everywhere. Misery item bloat makes things downright confusing and a picture of a woman for the 100th time is just plain yawn. The repairing system takes so much time and effort to learn you're better off paying a mechanic extra to do the repairs for you.
Another issue is direction. Devs leave and join the team all the time. The mod doesn't really have a direction at its current state. Right now it feels like yet another Misery clone with added stuff. Their focus feels like "loot guns in 30% condition from bandits, get chased by bloodsuckers, realise you're 5kg overweight and jump around like a madman while firing blindly into the sunset while trying to crawl to the closest safe haven just to get your adrenaline up". Not very interesting to play. I got bored of Anomaly after some 50 to 60 hours in it. AI still feels downright bad compared to improved AI in mods such as OGSR. Companions are useless half the time, they're only really proficient at being an additional target for the enemy to shoot at. In OGSR you sometimes get downright carried by companion AI (especially if you give them OP weapons) and they feel far more like real humans who aren't just virtual pixels that get themselves killed very quickly. That doesn't happen in Anomaly.
For a free to play community mod, Anomaly is good, but I don't think it's as good as some people think it is. It certainly is not a substitute for vanilla. Neither is it the best mod in stalker (imo there are better mods out there like NLC 7 and OGSR if you like the story aspect of things). But at the end of the day it's your choice on how to experience stalker: if you love anomaly so be it.
oh what
the AI didnt detect the asteriks for the S words
Thats alot of text
yeah i have a habit of writing essays on reddit
Oh
Oh
I still wished stalker used it X-ray
It had the funniest bugs
Don't worry they will add new anomaly called bug anomaly
I wonder how the a life is going to be now that gaming is more advanced compared to 2009
They now all have Deep Learning AI that enables them to constantly improve themselves based on what real players do
Randomly on Stashes
Oh I c
Is it a bad idea that I'm playing as monolith if I'm a bit new?
I'm doing quite ok tho
monolith gay
Also is this your first time playing Stalker?
anomaly is bloated with items so it's confusing
Which is why I don't wanna get mixed up with neutral and friendlies from other different factions lol
Nah, just for anomaly mod
There's no neutral or friendlies from different factions if you're playing as Monolith
Your only friendly are other monolith's
Ah hmm
i would go for bandits if u want a similar experience to being hostile for everyone
Ig so
and they don't hang out in the middle of nowhere
Hate being fucking jumpscared behind from random mutants
Rule 3 moment
momento
bandits have an experience with boars and fleshes
I heard that you can craft ammo, I don't wanna keep buying ammo
crafting mechanic in that game is so bad
you have a ton of items and you have to get recipes
i suggest you make lots of stashes
where you store crafting stuff and weapons
stuff like that
Aight
So there's no need to keep these component kits right?
I can just sell em for profit?
Like weapon kits or whatever
if u want to sit at a crafting bench then there is a need
make a stash for that stuff if u want
Eh Imma just make money and repair and buy ammo it's easier
Thx for the explanation tho guys
no problem
so basically Minecraft in stalker
yes
sounds dumb but cool at the same time
you like anomaly radio
Yes
Tf someone in my house is on the phone and I just hear AK noises coming from the speaker, we got ourselves a bandit shootout
Hi guys. I'm here to ask what game Stalker game i should get first. I never played a stalker game before
Shadow of Chernobyl
SOC
Then (Not so) Clear Sky, then Call of Pripyat last
alright thx
Np
Shadow of Chernobyl, play it first because them everything will make sense
As in gameplay and characters
For storyline, play Clear Sky first.
I suggest playing them in order of their release
- SoC
- CS
- CoP
E3 coming soon, can't wait to see if we'll get some proper news
I suggest playing them in the gigachad order:
- Call of Pripyat
- Shadow of Chernobyl
- Clear Sky

SurDno can't touch me here
And if he does, I am deleting Clear Sky dokumint translation
Anomaly 
(I'm kidding, please don't)
In terms of release, it goes SoC -> CS -> CoP, and this is the best way to play them. CS is a prequel to SoC but it spoils vast amounts of the plot of SoC, so, if it's your first time, play SoC before CS.
Good hunting, Stalker. 👍
||nah jk||
Same, bro. The wait is terrible.
Stalker last day
A good introduction to the franchise
And misery
I played it with regards to chronological order. The first two games were confusing enough to where nothing felt spoiled😂.
Are there any mods i should get to make the game look a bit better?
Fine with none
Shadow of Chernobyl, if You enjoy it then Clear Sky and Lastly Call of Prypiat
Hi all. New to the server and have been playing a bunch of Stalker Anomaly. Nice to meet all of you.
By far my favorite mod.
So since that 2011 build of STALKER 2 got leaked, is it possible to make mods on it, or would you actually need a complete game of it?
from what i recall, what mostly leaked is assets and then some stuff like an SDK so in theory you can use them one way or another
as for "Xray 2.0" maybe it can be salvaged with the right tweaks of skilled individuals
True.
What are all of your opinions on Clear Sky as a faction?
theyre dead
At least im not the only one who enjoys Anomaly 😌
I think Clear Sky were definitely good in the moral sense.
All things considered, though, and despite their ignorance regarding the matter, I do feel Duty is right when it comes to the Zone.
Though, because of the nature of its continued existence after SoC’s events, I still have my tiny doubts.
stalker fans after claiming that freedom is sigma mindset while duty is alpha male mindset
Freedom is just Clear Sky without any brain cells.
Really dislike their attitudes.
well i do feel like freedom sort of has the fundaments of a blind faction which the only point is to be morally correct
founded by people who wants their benefits and not
tho i may be wrong as i've only got a surface understanding of them and absolutely did a genocide the first time i meet them
Ideologically I lean towards Duty but Freedom faction war is fun
And far less buggy and frustrating than Bandits
When I play CS warfare I join freedom get a lot of grenades and convert all my guns to 5.45x39
Then just raid Duty base
Is the most logical faction for me
Bandits? Thiefs
Duty? Ex-police that only exists to kills mutants, and kills more mutants that come from the center due killing that other mutants
Freedom? Loners that hate duty and are adicts
Loners? Neutral
Monolith? Chads
At least Clear Sky have ||3 ex Scientists that have worked on Gauss Rifle and Noosphere investigations|| also CS do not want to destroy the zone
Unfortunately, || they failed stoping strelok ||
stalker fans arguing about faction
- tries to b*ne a bloodsucker *
Loners are the good guys. I just want to hunt for artifacts, for God’s sake.
But they’re just not as cool as Duty.

duty is edgy military. I like freedom because of their attitude
Weedomers are just the opposite spectrum of Dootiers
Duty can actually do s*** unlike the military and they also respect Loners in the process
No they don't
Duty literally just tolerates others for the sake of it
Well unlike the military they seem to have been able to set up a functional base
In the middle of the Zone
As for tolerating others it's better than shooting in sight
Ehh... not really
When you're in a faction that it's not at odds but neither on good terms with everyone you're playing a chance game
Meaning theres a 50/50 chance everything will go down south when not interacting with your own faction
Some Loners would appreciate Duty for controlling Rostok though
If it isn't Duty controlling it it'll be Bandits
When you're shoot on sight at least both sides tend to ignore eachother if left alone
And being such an important transport hub it'll be a hub for criminal ambushes
And robberies
Loners also like bandits because they can get stuff from under the table which would be impossible with dutiers
For example
Freedom are really just anarchists and bandits in uniform, they merely changed their ideology to one of companionship and weed to get new recruits
True
If they do get the upper hand over Duty they'll revert back to their old antics e.g attacking ecologists in no time
Objectively speaking Freedom is better written by a long shot though
They're more interesting a faction
And will get slapped by 9x39 rounds
How can you be friend with bandits as a loner when everytime a bandit sees you will put a bullet on your head after done drinking vodka?
Yeah, Renegades are just the worst.
Renegades bad
Why does the duty suit look like a biker set
I would be Clear Sky, but when you have the opportunity to be Loner number 1300 exactly, you take it.
Imagine having to run the risk to have your children grow 2 heads just cause you wont settle on a faction lol!!1!
?
so does Clear Sky
You guys are just over there in your bunkers, paying us to do everything important
not hating on you. You guys don't do anything to anyone.
we bandits do
stay away from the nerd
Beeki Chreeki, broooooooo.

Science bad!1! 1!11!1!1!1
Does anyone know where the anomalous kettle is?(OGSE)

Nah sorry
Damn...
Imagine a random guy joining the server with "Hi guys, playing Fallout, great game"
I see many play the mods (Anomaly most of all) without playing the games
Waiting for that someone to jump out and say "Those deathclaws are tough"
anybody can help? #📸┃screens_and_videos
Good scavenger residing within the Zone of Alienation, I know it must be rude of me to be frank like this, but I must ask that you to vacate this immediate area.
damm i forgot to save 
In stalker anomaly, why do i go unconscious when I eat food after waking up?
Are you thirsty?
Oh I was suppose to drink before I eat?
Damn the institute is a bad faction
Ayo guys what do you all think about the brotherhood of steel
Cool guys right
BoS are the best most definitely
Or the minutmen
I'd love to have the option in Fallout 3 to join the Enclave tho...
Who doesn't
Yeah
If only we could join Enclave in F3 and the Military in Stalker SoC 
But yk the only good thing about fallout 4 is the modding community
Yeah
The Enclave?
I say the same about duty
yeah
Yup
This is truly a loner moment
Same with a certain WW2 faction

Hate the ideology but love the uniforms and weapons
Same with Duty and Enclave
But nothing can beat the Brotherhood of Nod
am i the only one thinking that freepiss vs duty argument is kinda annoying
That's like saying BF fans vs CoD fans is annoying
And man do I love seeing those guys rage all around
what's your opinion on master difficulty
Don't play it I'm trash
hey, the name of the channel is "oficcial stalker community", but i only see channels to talk about stalker 2, where can i find one for the originals?
that channel is very unespecific, but sure dude, i will give it a shot.
Read the channel description
General STALKER and STALKER 2 channel.
man.
🤝
Got merged with this one a while back 
are we expecting to see any stalker 2 releated news on sunday? during xbox showcase
We're hoping, whether it'll happen or not is another mystery
as always 😅

i was just wondering if any was confirmed, well lets hope!
In Anomaly do npcs loot your stash?
yes
So I better hide it well
_>
you need to buy a stash and place your stash in a place no one will know

Well I placed my one on top of the concrete huts in the Agroprom military base

So I am in Lab X-18
and I was searching of rooms with chemical anomolys
I stepped in the wrong spot and I dropped my shotgun, then when i tried to get it back I was hurt and dropped my AK
Now I need ot finish the lab with just a knife and a pistol
is there more bloodsuckers or mutants in first underground mission in SoC
?
im so afraid lmao
Its repairing form zero with scavenger progression difficulty with the default vendors so it gonna cost me a arm and a leg anyways but still D:
oh
