#

Depends how quickly you're going

finite dragon
#

Because I need to complete all four storylines for me to be able to judge

#

Hm let's say ordinary pace

#

Not too fast not too slow

proud nexus
#

I'm at 27 Zone days on this Duty playthrough and haven't finished LL yet

#

But I've been somewhat taking my time to prep for the bigger segments by grinding out normal quests to then make more money to purchase better gear and upgrade it

finite dragon
#

The fetch questing is really killing me

#

Ive lost motivation to play really

#

Went back to OGSR

proud nexus
#

So you could defo run it quite significantly quicker if you are more efficient, don't worry about higher-level gear, or both

finite dragon
#

Hm ok

#

I'm on my fourth or so in game day

#

And I'm already feeling like quitting

proud nexus
#

Which faction you doing?

finite dragon
#

Loners

proud nexus
#

Ah okay

finite dragon
#

Because idk what to do really

#

Ecologists are too pacifist

#

I thought about Duty for a while but wasn't very sure

#

So I just chose Loners

proud nexus
#

This is my third full playthrough, I actually haven't done one with f_free_stalkers yet 🤔

#

First one was with CS but I had DFR turned on, which was a mistake

finite dragon
#

And as usual I'm running hardest difficulty

#

Although I've increased the rewards factor

proud nexus
#

So I switched it off, but then realised you couldn't revert it, so I switched over to Ecologists to finish up that playthrough

finite dragon
#

Because I'm getting sick of grinding

proud nexus
#

I'm on Hard and Survivalist with campfire saves, but no Iron Man, probably gonna do that on the next playthrough

finite dragon
#

I mean I've been through mods with arguably harder economies like RTTN

#

But RTTN has a goal and a story with quests

proud nexus
#

Haven't upped the rewards cos I don't find them too bad, but I guess it's cos I got used to LD's economy, God that was bad lebedev_f

proud nexus
finite dragon
#

I've never played Last Day before really

#

Well yes but the quests are all very simple and one dimensional in nature

#

I'm not saying RTTN's quest design is the best, but I'd say they're more varied and creative

proud nexus
#

Yeah they are a bit, the faction-unique quests are a nice touch, but you need rep to get some of them and they also get repetitive quickly

finite dragon
#

That's the problem

#

Repetitive quests

wispy walrus
#

try legend returns or something, its nice

finite dragon
#

I honestly just want to cheat and use a spawner and just complete the main storyline by rushing the labs

proud nexus
#

I'd certainly never fault someone for going for a lower progression difficulty or upping the quest rewards in Anomaly because it is a bit grindy

solemn tapir
#

Guys

finite dragon
#

I am doing LL lol

solemn tapir
#

Storm just destroyed WiFi

proud nexus
#

Especially if you're playing it for the second or subsequent time

#

I'm still doing it default on Survivalist cos I'm a masochist, I guess Think_about_it

finite dragon
#

Grindy isn't my issue, not having a clear goal cheeses me off, maybe Anomaly isn't for me kdk

proud nexus
#

Although not enough of a masochist to enjoy DA, it seems

finite dragon
#

Ive never tried DA, but I've watched gameplay

clever hazel
#

freeplay-oriented mods are pretty bad if you want a more goal-oriented experience yeah

proud nexus
finite dragon
#

And I'm honestly scared of DA now

#

Hm well I guess it pays off at the end

proud nexus
finite dragon
#

I'm 30-40 hours into a CoC warfare playthrough

proud nexus
#

LL is probably the best one

finite dragon
#

Yeah I suppose so

proud nexus
#

MS is interesting but goes a bit OTT

finite dragon
#

Ah

proud nexus
#

Afterglow is a similar deal, although I like that one more

finite dragon
#

I haven't reached that stage yet

proud nexus
#

I won't say too much if you are determined to play them, though

finite dragon
#

I'll complete the main story for sure the only question is when

proud nexus
#

Honestly, again you can pick at them - and there are aspects of the mission design and the lore that I don't like in places - but especially if you haven't done them before, they're still worth playing through cos they are well put together, largely

finite dragon
#

I guess

#

Its quite good for a mod

proud nexus
#

Definitely

finite dragon
#

Although I would say they can do better

#

From the mild spoilers I've read

proud nexus
#

I think for the scale they've gone for, it's definitely around "very good" for me

#

But there're definitely aspects that could be better, no doubt

finite dragon
#

Well it's a freeplay mod

#

So I can't really judge it against NLC 7 or OGSR

proud nexus
#

Yeah

finite dragon
#

Cant wait to play s2 like when i first played soc

#

Or OP-2.1

proud nexus
#

It's enough structure for me to enjoy playing it through (and I do need structure to enjoy games, can't do pure survival/free roam stuff on its own, usually), but others' mileage will vary

#

Plenty of people love it, quite a lot seem to hate it

finite dragon
#

what is wrong with me i downloaded mods and then play and then delete

proud nexus
#

Lol just like me starting a new character in FO or Skyrim, doing a few hours and then trying to do another one

#

Repeat about a hundred times and here we are

#

Anomaly also arguably suffers from trying to be a very inclusive and customisable experience, you just aren't gonna nail the tone or atmosphere that some mods make a point of going for

#

But in saying that, it still does have a nice feel and you can of course tailor and mod it into something more specific

ornate compass
#

And also the two graves thing, some say he died in the army wherehouse and others in pripyat

proud nexus
#

Ghost be dead as a doornail, though

#

Fang is certainly an interesting angle

wispy walrus
#

or you could have NLC fang

#

he's blind

#

half deaf

#

and has his flesh burn off and sits in the agroprom stash

#

because he fell in an acid anomaly

proud nexus
wispy walrus
#

there's a whole nlc quest line to get him out of zone through the ecos for medical treatment

proud nexus
#

But that sounds interesting as hell

wispy walrus
#

yes

#

probably wont be a pic anyway

#

most nlc stuff is gonna be in vid form if there is any

proud nexus
#

I also can't find DA anymore

#

All of the files listed are translations, but can't see the game files

wispy walrus

#

Since they're going for a much larger map with photo-realistic environments that encompasses both old and new areas, I wonder if they're gonna go for a more accurate layout of landmarks, or if they're gonna stick to a similar set-up to the original games + some additions and tweaks hmm_cheeki

#

If I dont need to sell my soul to Sidorovich for 2 bandages, I refuse to play

vernal magnet
proud nexus
#

The other games tend to make the locations themselves accurate in terms of how they look and are laid out (minus the vegetation, of course), but their positions relative to each other are almost complete fiction F_sidorovich

vernal magnet
proud nexus
# vernal magnet You nailed it. It’s all accurate locations that are moved around for better game...

Yeah that's fair, and of course if you've gotta make compromises, you've gotta make compromises, but it would be of course nice if they could get as much correct as possible 🙂 Jupiter factory layout is really neat because it looks almost exactly like the real thing, and it's actually roughly correctly positioned relative to the Pripyat "outskirts" (which also seem to be really nicely modelled relative to the real thing) in that it's to the east, but then Yanov station is completely in the wrong place and with extra doo-dads added as well 😄

#

With an admittedly cursory glance, it seems that they did take a bit more care with the portrayal of areas in CoP compared to the previous titles, although stuff is of course still shunted around for gameplay purposes, and it sounds like they might take this even further with 2, so that's neat-o

I remember the old S.T.A.L.K.E.R games about the anomalies.

when a mutant or human was caught trapped in a vortex anomaly and then soar through the air before exploding to pieces and throwing his pieces of vain, skeleton, or weapons that had directly injured or killed even on the main character who then had received damage on him.

Do you think it will be possible to add this damage projection feature during a mutant or character explosion on S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 as on the old S.T.A.L.K.E.R ?

this feature was really fun 💢💥

more than 50% of the channel has to be stalker content from what I'm reading in the rules

rotund lance
#

ahhhhhhhh, ok now I get it, clever marketing

wispy walrus
#

its mostly a program to help youtubers share news on the game i think

#

and hype the traditional already existing fan base

#

there's ALOT more Russian channels that're specifically stalker

#

some are pretty big, so it makes sense.

#

tbh I don't think there's many eng channels for stalker that really fit the categorization tho

#

100k subs, 30 vids, 50%+ stalker content, etc, but we'll see maybe some new eng stalker channels will pop up now. smile_degtyarev We don't have a lot of dedicated channels over here outside "hahha funny" vids honestly.

STALKER 2 Rostok arena return

#

Pls n thx

wispy walrus
#

honestly I doubt Rostok will be in S2

#

its kinda tradition to move the faction bases every game

tired anvil
#

Didn't we literally see it in one of the arts

wispy walrus
#

doesn't mean DUTY owns it

#

nor the loners

native ibex
#

Renegades got it

tired anvil
#

Why would it not return even if not owned by Duty

wispy walrus
#

easily could be a bandit hub now, who knows, bases from what we've seen in cs and shoc aren't exactly long term things

#

isn't s2 going to be 1-2 years after shoc-cop aswell or something

hushed aurora
#

Dont get the point

wispy walrus
#

My point is the arena might not be a thing or might not be in rostok.

#

I've seen, not here but others ask for X situational thing from a previous game to be there in s2, remember this we don't want the entire zone to be stuck in situational limbo like every CoC mod does.

native ibex
#

Who ran the arena? Seems too chaotic for Duty's pro-Law thing

hushed aurora
#

Arnie iirc

wispy walrus
#

it was a loner owned thing, supplied by duty if I remember

#

they provided the criminals for the bandit fights, others were volunteers or something

#

I mean an arena makes sense in a Duty perspective of order

#

would you rather let two people shoot each other in an arena or shoot each other in the bar.

native ibex
#

Idk, they seem like they'd hold a whole trial

#

Freedom would probably see criminals as misunderstood and try to abolish punishment

wispy walrus
#

Duty's paramilitary, they aren't a bunch of mall cops, they're gonna blast you in the face if you commit a crime in rostok probably lel

#

I mean isn't Freedom from a least early development shoc perspective

#

faction deserters, criminals and political radicals from both extremes, basically people no one else wants to recruit

native ibex
#

Sound like bad folk, freedom

#

Probably shouldn't exist

wispy walrus
#

Freedom is kinda iffy in the final games tho

#

they kinda change every single installment

finite dragon
#

I think rostok is wild area that nobody owns it

#

no loners or duty

wispy walrus
#

weird almost like its a bunch of ideological extremes that disagree and fight for the leadership position

#

Rostok is technically the wild territory and the bar

#

the entire thing is the rostok plant

pseudo rivet
#

Funniest thing is how Duty is anti-Zone, yet allows Arnie to feed the dead bodies from the Arena to the mutants

wispy walrus
#

is that a thing in base shoc?

#

There aren't any mutant fights in vanilla

hushed aurora
#

He didnt Say mutante fights

wispy walrus
#

the whole feed to mutants suggests it referencing the arena having mutants, which is why I was asking.

hushed aurora
#

He said they feed The corpses from the Arena to the mutants

pseudo rivet
#

Nah man, the ones who die during the Arena fight are being tossed to the mutants outside Rostok

#

Gee, I wonder why those blind dogs are there in the first place, killing everyone on their way to Rostok

hushed aurora
#

Basically that, yeah

pseudo rivet
#
So, your first fight? Your opponent is a piece of meat just like you. He's here because of debts and he only has two options: to come out and fight or to land himself in the nearest anomaly. He's gonna fight like a cornered animal. Equipment for today... lemme think... OK! Why don't you two use PMm's... two clips each should be plenty. Either you kick his arse or we feed you to the dogs - not much of a choice. Go on now.
wispy walrus
#

Ah makes sense

finite dragon
#

ok, exactly why does the guy who says "get out of here stalker" say "get out of here stalker"?

Because he wants You to get out of here

Uncut content, from what I've understood

they're way smaller and taller than everything else, its hard to pick them out like gravity ones

theres a mod called Fairer Burners- makes them SLIGHTLY more visual. I JUST started using it

I once had a mod I was playing that actually, flatout made anomalies invisible

the scanner after veres helps with anomoly detection but it does take a while to grind up to it

imagine using svarog tho

if you can't 90% master anomaly eye balling ur not a pro

That's fair, i tend to avoid finding new artefact spots

Svarog not reliable

Hitboxes are bonkers

the svarog isn't that good for me tho

i use DUTY suits obviously and i can't exactly svarog mid combat to dodge anomalies

therefore I've mastered mid combat anomaly eye balling u see
