Boredgunner's repack has better economy (tougher in a good way) and adds a gazillion new weapons

#

As well as weapon attachments, etc.

#

And it's more balanced in some ways too he removed some overpowered rewards

#

But then there are some features he added that are annoying

#

Like some important characters being mortal, bodies disappearing, medkits hurting you if you don't drink water etc.

frail spire
#

W-what

hushed aurora
#

Medkits hurting you

#

Lmao tf

finite dragon
#

and bullet heals you

dusk token
finite dragon
#

I've yet to experience medkits hurting me even when I didn't drink water for three days

#

But I heard it happens

#

It was present in OGSE 0693

#

Drinking water restores efficacy of medkits tho

wispy walrus
#

all medkits do is they get weaker, don't believe that ever hurt you

half glade

real men only drink piss

Ive only observed that happening

Medkits hurting me came from another server

Hey guys I was just wondering if any of yall know where I can find the 2002-2003 design document?
I tried going on the russian wiki but it was removed.

# finite dragon Hey guys I was just wondering if any of yall know where I can find the 2002-2003...
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Wiki

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Oblivion Lost (рус. «Утерянное забвение») — компьютерная игра в жанре приключенческо-исследовательского шутера от первого лица, разрабатывавшаяся компанией GSC Game World на собственном движке X-Ray для операционной системы Windows, хотя разработчиками также обдумывался релиз для игровой консоли Xbox. Издателем в СНГ являлась бы ...

#

oh

#

thanks

pseudo yoke
#

Anton Bolshakov is a dingus

finite dragon
#

I wonder how Russian and Ukrainian bros feel about this series thonk

#

Is it like how Poland feels about The Witcher series thonk

flat prism
#

Yeah I uninstalled Anomaly after I realized I wasn't having fun; because I thought I was supposed to

#

Wayyyy too tedious

#

I really want something like anomaly but with more things to do, and it's less of a "being miserable simulator"

#

Got any suggestions?

finite dragon
#

Call of Chernoybl with quest mods

robust forge
#

No

#

He just came out of Anomaly with the feeling that's present in all freeplays

#

What about stuff like OGSR, LADCE and OLR?

flat prism
#

?

robust forge
#

They're all story mods based on ShoC story

#

They bring stuff back from the builds and add many things themselves

flat prism
#

That's really cool

robust forge
#

Especially OGSR

finite dragon
#

Theres also the soup mods aswell

robust forge
#

Or if you want a completely different story, what about Spatial Anomaly or Winds of Time

#

I wouldn't recommend soups to someone like him

flat prism
#

SoC or standalone?

robust forge
#

All are standalone

#

But they are based on ShoC

#

So the same story and stuff, just expanded

flat prism
#

I looked into OGSE a little bit but I still don't fully understand what it aims to be, is it some sort of CoC successor or something? And it expands on SoC's story?

robust forge
#

It's more of an expansion pack for ShoC

#

It's not CoC

#

Fortunately

flat prism
#

Ah

robust forge
#

It adds many things

#

A whole new map with a completely new sub story

#

Technically speaking several substories expanding throughout the game

flat prism
#

New map(s), or an entirely new zone?

robust forge
#

Nah, it's ShoC map mostly

#

They just added the Dead City with some additions

#

And Darkscape

#

With some additions aswell

#

Darkscape alone is connected to four subplots

#

I think four

#

It's not a boring place anymore

flat prism
#

You know I really think an experienced Stalker should make a mod diagram showing which ones are best for what you want

robust forge
#

Afaik there was something like it

#

Didn't really work out

#

Although I was thinking about making it, actually

flat prism
#

Maybe I should just sort by "most popular" on modDB 😆

robust forge
#

Don't

flat prism
#

Although I saw that complete mod was 2nd most popular and I puked

robust forge
#

That's the worst idea a man can have

#

Aye

#

Anomaly, Complete, Misery

#

The wretched realm

flat prism
#

I'm glad I uninstalled Anomaly lol I was praising it for how great it was but now I made a complete 180

pseudo yoke
#

There already is one

flat prism
#

I really enjoyed doing the actual quests like the living legend and SIN faction quests and also enjoyed freeplay but I absolutely HATED the "realism" BS about anomaly. Its so annoying

robust forge
#

Same

#

But

#

Rule 3 buddy

#

It's a stupid rule but, yeah

flat prism
#

I'm sorry, I had no idea

robust forge
#

Also, the table from that link is kinda old

#

CoC doesn't branch off, for example

#

But it is a solid one, I have to say

wispy walrus
#

well

#

anomaly and misery aren't "realistic"

#

they're just hardcore

#

there's plenty of good "realistic" mods out there on the russian side imo

robust forge
#

They are unfair

#

Not hardcore

#

NLC7 is the only mod I can classify as somewhat "hardcore"

#

Although it too handles itself in an unfair way

random vortex
#

How do you define hardcores? 🤔

robust forge
#

Uhh, Goldsphere is kinda there at the start

robust forge
#

Which I asked the guy yesterday

#

Yet to no avail

runic crypt
#

Preordered Ultimate Edition, now what

#

should i go back to Cryosleep?

leaden hamlet
flat prism
#

Ok well Anomaly is just not fun.. I'm going to install CoC with some add-ons and possibly install OGSE

robust forge
#

CoC is the same deal as Anomaly

#

There is nothing

#

Just tedious fetch quests

robust forge
#

Go to x, bring y of z

robust forge
tired anvil
#

You'll still buy it zak

robust forge
#

Gaj

#

I am polish

#

Both poor and stupid

#

Do you expect me to buy something?

flat prism
#

Okay but, won't quest add-ons fix those tedious fetch quests?

robust forge
#

They are just slightly better than fetch quests

random vortex
#

I mean pepe. 😳

tired anvil
robust forge
#

They're "go to x bring y of z and get an exposition dump"

robust forge
#

It was on sale and my bf was interested in it

How is anomaly unfair?

#

It's dummy easy

random vortex
#

Anomaly is just boring.

robust forge
pseudo yoke
#

Only thing I like about anomaly is playing monolith and cleansing the Zone

tired anvil
pseudo yoke
#

when can I spend 450$

random vortex
robust forge
pseudo yoke
#

I have a 3070

#

I want the retail ultimate edition

random vortex
#

I will sell you the retail ultimate edition for 1,200. 😈

pseudo yoke
#

"No"

wispy walrus
#

i guarantee that's how its gonna go with limited supply lel

#

i hope its supply based on orders and not orders based on the supply

flat prism
#

What are "soup" mods

pseudo yoke
#

They are soup

robust forge
#

Cursed territory

random vortex
#

We like soup. 🙂

robust forge
#

They are anything Russians could steal

#

Literally anything

#

Funny cross men in Cordon

#

Women dressed in Crysis exosuits

#

Shooting winged Snorks with a PTRD

wispy walrus
#

they're actually pretty good fun, least the more well made variants like op3.1 or whatever and 2016

robust forge
#

None of the soups are well made

#

They are hodgepodged together

#

From leftovers other modders leave behind

robust forge
#

I guess

#

Yeah

south narwhal
#

really good chart if you just want to stay away from some category

#

for me i would avoid freeplays and massive story overhauls

pseudo yoke
#

I am going to Chernobyl this summer

tired anvil
#

Have fun, what type of tour?

random vortex
south narwhal

#

😄

south narwhal
pseudo yoke
#

I was hoping to find a legit stalker but

#

I figure a guided tour is the next best thing

random vortex
tired anvil
#

Seems like a lot of good stuff on that 3 day one

pseudo yoke
#

That's because youve got no sense of adventure

pseudo yoke
random vortex
#

It's because I've been in bad situations before and I would like to avoid it in the future.

pseudo yoke
#

Good for you

tired anvil
#

Wonder what's up with this

pseudo yoke
#

I would assume it's got something to do with NATO

finite dragon
tired anvil
#

I wanted to assume that option as well, but it's a bit odd if it's still the same 7 years later

finite dragon
#

i thought ultimate was 350

pseudo yoke
#

Conversion

finite dragon
#

ah

tired anvil
#

Canadian dollars

wispy walrus
#

probably safety issues with the structure, it is pretty darn old

pseudo yoke
#

It's winding down tho

#

When covid hit they pulled most the Forces back into Canada

#

Though

#

They were all near Donbass and Luhansk

tired anvil
#

Demolition work huh

random vortex
pseudo yoke
#

Rip

tired anvil
#

Nobody says to treat it like a video game

#

Plenty of people go illegally each year

pseudo yoke
#

He's just mad I don't fear getting caught

#

Because he's afraid

#

I-I had something bad happen to me and it permanently changed my view points on everything

#

Imagine

wispy walrus
#

I mean keep in mind the whole area basically caught fire 1-2 years ago

#

even yanov, the irl one burnt down I believe

pseudo yoke
#

It's a shame

tired anvil
#

A kindergarten burned down last year

#

Yaniv is fine

wispy walrus
#

and the real red forest burnt down too I believe

pseudo yoke
#

But fires happen everywhere

tired anvil
#

The real red forest was burried under ground

#

Chernobyl was on fire last year because some retard set it on fire

wispy walrus
#

well the area above it did

tired anvil
#

Ofc fires happen there a lot, but the biggest one was human error

pseudo yoke
#

^

wispy walrus
#

apparently they reacted really darn slow

pseudo yoke
#

Was it a Stalker?

tired anvil
#

No, just an idiot I think

pseudo yoke
#

Or just some idiot

sand oar
#

was it wolf with his explosives

wispy walrus
#

if i remember it took them a week or something to even begin putting it out

#

it was REALLY slow

pseudo yoke
#

Fires are hard to put out

#

Especially forest fires

wispy walrus
#

I meant show up and actually try to

pseudo yoke
#

That's just Ukrainian authorities

wispy walrus
#

yup

#

prob, it was mid virus stuff, so might have been a combo and it grinded the reaction to a halt

pseudo yoke
#

A shame

#

Hmm

#

I can tour the cnpp

wispy walrus
#

isnt the npp pretty boring now

#

given 70% is just the big hanger covering it.

pseudo yoke
#

Yeah, unfortunately

#

Itll be fun

#

I just hope Russia opens up visas

#

After Ukraine my plan was to go to Sochi

finite dragon
#

I just had the luckiest run in CoC

#

started in cordon, found a clear sky seva suit on a corpse, ran up to garbage, looted stashes that I knew existed, got a bear, searched around for a bit, ran up to the flea market, searched stashes that I knew existed there, found a clear sky suit in full condition, and I found a veles in the green box on the second floor of the flea market

#

funny thing is, on my previous run, throughout all the stashes I searched, I searched like 30, I never found one bear detector, or veles.

#

oh also, a basic tool kit

pseudo yoke
#

Is Dead Air any good? or is it an extension of Misery

robust forge
#

Dead Air embraces the walking simulator side of freeplays the most

#

Which can be surprisingly refreshing after bashing your head against a wall called Anomaly

wispy walrus
#

dead air's main flaw is its a proof of concept atm

robust forge
#

DA's main flaw is that it's dead

wispy walrus
#

you can see an outline of a good idea, just its not there yet lmao

robust forge
#

Yeah

#

It's slow, very slow

#

And mostly bleak

wispy walrus
#

nah, its still in dev he just BARELY posts news

robust forge
#

Like, as much as I hate modern postapo colour palettes and stuff

#

Dead Air does it right

#

Dead Air makes the zone seem dead

#

No pun intended

wispy walrus
#

some of their engine stuff they've shown is neat, like rain on glass shadows, dynamic smoke

#

etc

#

I really love the look, it'll be great next ver

pseudo yoke
#

I just like glowsticks

wispy walrus
#

they redid aton of the maps

#

cordon, least from the pics looks flatter and more farm landy

robust forge
#

You know, one thing that sold me in Dead Air

#

Ambience

wispy walrus
#

wonder if it'll match up to my favorite cordon ver which is from uhhh dollchan 8, that's a Russian mod tho so I doubt many here have tried it

robust forge
#

That lone flute weaving itself between strong gusts of winds

#

It just makes you feel alone

wispy walrus
#

im playing uhhh dead air revolution 3 atm, its nice

#

has aton of custom made quests

#

taz misery guns

robust forge
#

Revolution makes it a bit too lively

wispy walrus
#

you can still edit the pop like any coc mod, so

robust forge
#

I need to get my hands on the first patch of DA

#

The glitched one

#

There were no NPC's whatsoever

wispy walrus
#

with the custom bar ver ye

pseudo yoke
#

Anyone know where to download the guitar tracks from all 3 games

robust forge
#

Living off of stuff you could find in stashes

wispy walrus
#

I played it, the problem was the bar version had an npc bug, where a scripted bandit raid on rostok in week 5 would ctd you

#

yeah, there's scripted hub raids in certain weeks

#

they raid with an rpd and m79 I believe and like 15 guys

robust forge
#

Huh

#

Idk bro

#

But really

#

A mod which removes NPC would be very neat

#

With the slow gameplay of Dead Air

wispy walrus
#

dead air has aton of neat background features, but they just need the rest of the fluff to be great

pseudo yoke
#

Does that mean there's mutants?

#

or npcs meaning just you

wispy walrus
#

some people kinda get annoyed at the whole the longer you play the less populated it gets, hubs shutdown etc, I think its a neat idea it just needs polish

robust forge
#

NPC's like all humans

south narwhal
robust forge
#

Heh

pseudo yoke
#

thats kinda cool

wispy walrus
#

yeah, you might not know but the longer you play the less humans spawn and the more mutants do, the 100 rads even will shutdown

pseudo yoke
#

whats the fluff behind it?

wispy walrus
#

I mean quests to go with it

#

they haven't added a main quest yet, but from what i've read they plan to

robust forge
#

I just need something in between of late game DA and 35mm

#

A walking simulator set in the zone, focused on exploration

clever hazel
#

yo 35mm was so good

robust forge
#

Aye

#

35mm is amazing

#

Although it's painfully short

#

And well

#

I don't think that linearity and walking simulators go along each other well

wispy walrus
#

honestly one of my favorite kinda "empty" mods is lost worlds origin, its a mod set early zone as strelok

clever hazel
#

LWO was so good!

wispy walrus
#

its kinda nice and has some unique features for shoc, like upgradable suits that swap icons based on upgrades

clever hazel
#

that was one of my favorite mods for a really long time

#

it was dripping with atmosphere

wispy walrus
#

you can turn the sunrise into a exo, nbc suit or combat suit and the icons change as you go up the tree

clever hazel
#

it got kinda nutty with mutant squad spawns sometimes but

wispy walrus
#

from what ive understood troops of doom has the same thing

#

and GEE

#

TROOPS of doom is unique, I like it.

#

its KINDA a freeplay mod

#

kinda not?

#

the first 2-3 lost world mods are kinda the same mod, just new versions of it

#

those older mods are always nice, back then every mod had its own kinda idea. Not saying there aren't ones now, just there's a lot of misery like mods now days.

clever hazel
#

yeah the mod scene back then had a lot of cool ideas going around

#

even just like the AMK forks like LURK

flat prism
#

Do you guys think its good that Stalker isn't widely known/popular around the west?

tired anvil
#

Yes

flat prism
#

I think it's good

random vortex
flat prism
#

The only thing that majorly frustrates me are the people who call this game a Metro clone or "budget metro"

#

cough twitch chat cough

hazy helm
#

I've heard more ppl call it russian fallout

flat prism
#

It is honestly crazy how many people call this game a clone of anything for that matter, because tbh Stalker has inspired a lot of shooters to this day

#

Just like how half life inspired Stalker

for me Stalker is simply the best game, thats all i wanted to say :v

flat prism
#

I'd say Stalker is a proof of concept - to an extent

lavish turtle
#

jeeze

flat prism
#

That's why I think Stalker 2 will be the ultimate Stalker game to date, because GSC has learned from their mistakes and observed mods

is it normal for duty to take out freedom in like 5 hours?

Stalker came out 14 years ago

lavish turtle

cus they are the ones buying the games

pseudo yoke
lavish turtle
#

yeah but heres the thing

#

money > good games

pseudo yoke
#

There is no thing

lavish turtle
#

all companies will do whatever brings more profit

pseudo yoke
#

GSC is hopefully making the right decision and appealing to the people who matter

half glade
#

How is the word s is a swearword

lavish turtle
#

GSC will do the right thing by having a very nice toolset for modders

half glade
#

Dumb ass bot

pseudo yoke

The fanbase that kept their games alive while Pepsiman OD'd on his sugary drink

lavish turtle
#

@half glade listen man, we have people being dismembered, heads exploded, people with tubes in their chest, dead bodies.. but dont you EVER.. and i mean EVER say a naughty word

pseudo yoke
#

It's discord policy

wispy walrus
pseudo yoke
#

Bring it up with them

clever hazel
#

gsc for sure realizes the only reason they can even make a stalker 2 so long after the first attempt failed is because of the dedicated fanbase

lavish turtle
#

you can cuss on discords official server

#

lol

pseudo yoke

This is a partnered server that has rules

So are you

half glade
lavish turtle
#

This racoon guy though

wispy walrus
#

idc if i can or can't it's just annoying to type something naturally to explain something in three lines of detail, and just happen to use a certain word to call it bad without thinking, then the bot goes, warns me and deletes my message to the void. Anyway, that's enough of talking about this i'd say.

yo guys

#

anyone knows about stalker 2 old concept ?

hazy helm
#

yes

#

what do you need

#

do you know where i can find the latest news about it and more info ?

clever hazel
#

that's dezowave's new thing right

marble cipher
#

yea

hazy helm
marble cipher
#

since 2012 ?

hazy helm
#

yes

#

basically

#

access to them and the SDK

marble cipher
#

damn, and its only now that they started working on it ?

hazy helm
#

no

#

they already were working on a mod

#

it was only now that it was leaked,and very specific parts of it

#

like they were trying to be careful to not leak stuff that was important or smth

marble cipher
#

do you release regular updates or no ?

#

i mean they*

#

whops

hazy helm
#

@marble cipherI can give you links to the leaks so you can download them,I think theyre still up,GSC recognized them as historical archival sighting that it has not relation to the new one

marble cipher
#

nah im good, but are they still working on the mod or is it abandoned ?

hazy helm
#

there was a bit of tension after the leak,looks like some ppl didnt want it out,but the mods still being worked on

marble cipher
#

can you give a rough release date ? like next year hopefully ? or is it far from done ?

random vortex
#

What leaked?

marble cipher
#

some mod, stalker 2 old concept

hazy helm
random vortex
#

That sounds poggie woggies tbh. 😳

hazy helm

you didnt know?

#

well it was before the Stalker 2 trailer

random vortex
#

Oh, is it just some design stuff? Or did actual builds get leaked?

clever hazel
#

both

hazy helm
marble cipher
#

sir vasim, can you give me the links for the leaks ?

random vortex
#

I only heard about "documents" I thought it was just concept art and maps and stuff.

clever hazel
#

there's no like Playable Game but you can run around in some maps, there's youtube runthroughs of some stuff

random vortex
#

"X-Ray Engine 2.0 source code." 😳

clever hazel
#

is it true gsc sold xray 2 to vostok for survarium? i'd always assumed survarium was built on xray/old s2 assets but

hazy helm
#

@tired anvilany news on Dezowave team after the leaks?

random vortex
finite dragon
#

a mod with npc stalkers removed would be cool for a change. Only mutants but the established camps would still look recently active. If you could make them look abandoned again that would be cool

take the game...out of the game...

It would be nice if they announce the date like 2 or 3 days before release .

Daylight savings, Vasim

maybe the physical is taking so long because they need to find more production space

I just want to buy it

Honestly the art book and the stalker figurine are the collectibles I would really like to see but all items look like mockups, not the real deal

that lamp tholebedev_f

pseudo yoke

I want the lamp

#

but worst comes to worst

#

Ill start up my project again

finite dragon

For me the appeal is to get actual items on top of the game, even if the game might disappoint, I owe this franchise countless hours of pure gaming rhapsody

#

So getting some paraphernalia seems in order here

limpid ruin
#

right

tired anvil
#

Idk, for some reason, at least in things like the story/lore, I can't see them messing up too much

#

The world already looks big and beautiful, worst case scenario at least it'll be a great view

limpid ruin

I think graphically itll be great

but idk about gunplay

ive looked at some stuff for a computer and with all the math it ends up at around $1200-$1400

Yeah easily .

for a nice high end desktop i could bring it down but id be worried it get outdated before i can afford new parts again

in anomaly warfare+main story, how do the factions work, let's say I start as a loner, am I able to join a faction later?

And with that being said, let's say I join.. bandits and they are down to one territory, can they ever grow? Or are their finite number of faction NPCS.

but your forgeting the obviouse best one, stalker mobile

clever hazel

like i love stalker but the actual minute to minute story left a lot to be desired

still ridge
#

If anything the story will be better than all of the previous titles combined

finite dragon
still ridge
#

Simply due to the fact that GSC called it an “epic, branching story”

clever hazel
#

the worldbuilding is good, the lore is good, even the characters and stuff are good but the way the story flowed felt super disjointed

still ridge
#

It looks like we’ll get some actual characters

clever hazel

cs was better in a lot of ways in that department

still ridge
#

Thank god

#

I forget where it was referred to as an epic branching story

limpid ruin

an open world game that takes place in a nuclear affected area with a "branching story", are we sure we arnt talking about Fallot NV

clever hazel

the steam store page says it's a branching story iirc

still ridge

none of the original games had an “epic, branching story”

CoP had a “branching” story

not in the grand scheme of things

but this time it'll be E P I C

“Global consequences”

That seems epic to me

misty tusk

Never got the hang on the stories, they were mere excuses to go and explore the zone to me

misty tusk
#

or just below it

still ridge
#

simply due to the fact that GSC has said you can put a hundred hours into it and not find all of the content

something along those lines

clever hazel

stalker 2 doesn't really have a very high bar to live up to narratively

im pretty sure all hoodless seva man who can't cut his hair is,|| is the guy from 2011 stalker 2 who kills strelok||

he's probably some sort of mini antagonist

no no listen to it

I don’t think he’s necessarily an antagonist

"I HAD TO KILL HIM TO SAVE OUR WAY OF LIFE"

he 100% killed who it sounds like

2011 S2 was said to not be related to the one now

As for the minimum specs

such as ||someone killing strelok||

So when I tried to translate earlier, I got the general idea of it, but does it indicate any types of settings. Like minimum, medium, high etc?

Plot twist; Sid took over the whole arms trading so the guys couldn't supply themselves weps - they killed Sid

"I heard a whole faction went missing in the Zone. You ever heard of Monolith? Well, they used to protect the Zone from others, but they made a move towards the center right before the emission. Nobody has heard from them since, but recently some real aggressive stalkers have been attacking from where the Scorcher is, killing everyone and asking no questions. I know because I saw them myself around the military warehouses, and I reckon they might be those same Monolithians who disappeared. It wouldn't surprise me, because their uniforms looked real similar."

Not to the extent a console game will
