theres a stalker rp russian dayz server

#

as well

noble stirrup
outer jolt
#

Wonder if that would work out smile_degtyarev

finite dragon
#

but idk if its any good cuz i dont like dayz that much

outer jolt
#

I like DayZ

#

probably should try the Gmod and DayZ ones

#

worth the shot i guess

noble stirrup
#

some kind of RP servers actually turn up if you check the multiplayer server browser in one of the original games, too. Don't know how they work

finite dragon
outer jolt
#

didnt really see anything like that with players

#

but as i said

#

gotta try out the Gmod and DayZ ones

outer jolt
#

oh

#

talking about foreign people in stalker universe

#

are there canonically any foreign people (russians aside) in the zone?

still ridge
#

Potentially

#

Mercenaries could be from other countries

#

It’s likely

outer jolt
#

great

#

gonna larp as a Merc in the russian servers

#

so it fits the lore

finite dragon
#

British Mercs when there's no tea in the zone:

# outer jolt are there canonically any foreign people (russians aside) in the zone?

Yes. For example, there are foreign mercs like Wolfhound and Ara.
Ashot is from Sochi, but he isn't Russian. He's most-likely Armenian. Beside that. There were Belorussian newspapers on Freedom base in SoC until they patched the game.
Vano is Georgian according to his accent.
There are probably more example. But that's what came in mind.

#

Freeman is American.

soft ice
#

The mercs in cop speak Russian with American accents

gusty trench
#

As a Russian I'll say that they speak just Russian without any accent.

soft ice
#

No, I just heard this

#

I think its only in the english dub

gusty trench
#

Don't read info from the wiki.

soft ice
#

You probably played it in russian

#

The voices change from dub to dub they all have different voice actors

worthy lagoon
#

@soft ice i already discussed that days ago with my cat @gusty trench

Since when I'm your cat?

#

F...

coarse reef
#

downloaded anomaly, picked bandits, walked all the way to cordon, blasted hip in the face point blank with a shotgun, uninstalled anomaly

gusty trench
#

It should have been like
"Downloaded Anomaly -> uninstalled Anomaly."

soft ice
#

Yeah

#

I hate anomaly

amber stone
#

I don't understand the problem with anomaly

#

all of you hate it for some reason

coarse reef
#

because it's popular right now and all the cool kids hate it

soft ice
#

Because it literally isn’t fun to play at all, looks terrible, runs terrible, and it made a large group of people that only played anomaly as their only stalker experience and they think that’s what stalker is (its really different from actual stalker)

amber stone
#

as a guy who plays both the trilogy and anomaly

#

I find anomaly really fun

#

and both games play very differently

#

anomaly is more tactical

#

and the trilogy is more arcadey

#

I find both really fun

#

the graphics are literally the same

#

so I don't see the problem with it

soft ice
#

I played them both too

coarse reef
#

what's fun or isn't fun is entirely subjective

soft ice
#

The graphics in anomaly suck, they changed all the textures but the new textures are ugly and generic, i don’t see why they didn’t just use absolute nature textures

#

Just vomit green

half glade
#

vanila best skill issue

soft ice
#

Its just such a mid and overrated mod

coarse reef
#

do whatever you want really

#

anomaly is cool from time to time

soft ice
#

Its like I’m forcing myself to enjoy it whenever i play

amber stone
#

i was like you when I started playing but when I set a goal it became super fun

#

and my goal was to live in the northern parts of the zone and live off of monolith loot

#

and just kill monolith

soft ice
#

I’ve had more fun in coc

amber stone
#

maybe because it is closer to the trilogy

soft ice
#

I would play coc but it doesn’t have 3d pda or any questline

amber stone
#

anomaly is less similar to the trilogy

soft ice
#

It’s not closer no

#

Not really

amber stone
#

idk but I find anomaly really addicting

#

I understand it's overrated but it's because how fun it is

coarse reef
#

just like the trilogy it's not for everyone

amber stone
#

yeah you have a point

#

actually you're the first renegade I saw on this server

#

wow

soft ice
#

What mods do you play anomaly with

amber stone
#

mainly just fixes

#

like

soft ice
#

The quests in anomaly are really boring and it runs so bad I have to make my game look bad to get alright fps

coarse reef
#

just a few addons nothing crazy

amber stone
#

bas trader overhaul blindsides animations and thap rework

earnest urchin
amber stone
#

also fixed vanilla textures and performance textures

#

also

#

reshade is trash

#

it takes 20 fps for no reason

coarse reef
#

i think the best way to describe the difference between the trilogy and anomaly is that in the trilogy you're the stalker while in anomaly you're just a stalker

soft ice
#

I don’t know who started that bs idea

coarse reef
#

yeah

amber stone
#

also dead air sucks

#

it's just a copycat anomaly

soft ice
#

Dead air looks really good and probably runs better than anomaly

amber stone
#

and it's it fun at all

soft ice
amber stone
soft ice
#

Other way around

amber stone
soft ice
#

You didn’t know anomaly was a dead air fork?

amber stone
#

no

soft ice
#

Or misery whatever

#

Yeah it is

amber stone
#

woah

soft ice
#

Anomaly takes from dead air not the other way around

amber stone
#

at least it's a good ripoff

#

btw I just got the trilogy for 15 bucks instead of 40

#

what a bargain

soft ice
#

I wish I could send pictures here

earnest urchin
#

on my potato atleast...TrollFormation

soft ice
#

I have a picture of gunslinger+ absolute nature 4 running at 60 fps and it looks really good. And then anomaly at absolute potato settings like lowest settings imaginable running at 45 fps looking awful

#

It’s really badly optimized especially newer versions

coarse reef
#

anomaly runs perfectly fine for me

earnest urchin
#

i ran it on Dx8 render last time with quality somewhere high and some middle and it ran 60 fps

soft ice
#

Dx8 lmao

#

That’s the lowest graphics setting

#

I have to run it at dx8 to get 45 fps

earnest urchin
#

but thats cuz Dx8 and Dx11 are the most stable ones

soft ice
#

I guess I have a potato but I can run abs nature higher with better fps

coarse reef
#

some of the addons are very fun

soft ice
#

Im pretty sure dx11 is the most unstable but I don’t know enough to argue

earnest urchin
#

actually its the Dx10 ithink

#

my bad

tame helm
#

i heard that dx10 is not as optimized but thats on CS

still ridge
#

Dx10 is literally garbage

soft ice
#

I hope you understand that I’m not just shutting on anomaly because I want to, I literally just cant force myself to enjoy it

still ridge
#

I used to play anomaly

soft ice
#

Look at what I sent you @earnest urchin

still ridge
#

40 hours could have been spent elsewhere

#

waste of my time

soft ice
#

I hope that coc gunslinger port comes out soon

earnest urchin
#

hey i myself only played anomaly like 2-3 hours per playthrough max

still ridge
#

4 additional hours trying to get mods to make it feel like a good game

soft ice
#

Its like that Fr

still ridge
#

4 hours would have been better spent beating my meat

soft ice
#

Its really poorly made, people just defend anomaly because it’s the only stalker they played

i wanted to play coc first but i literally spent like 3 hours trying to make it run and then i gave up

#

Dead Air gets a lot of things right, like general gameplay mechanics, but it suffers from the same issues a lot of CoC mods do, plus its own issues like egregious mutant spawns and a bad implementation of inflation (which isn't a bad idea, but it's executed awfully).

coarse reef
#

at least i can use 4 shotguns on my character at once in anomaly

still ridge
#

The worst problem with anomaly is that people play it before any of the originals

coarse reef
#

well the original games don't exactly look inviting to todays audience

amber stone
#

I didn't even know this was a mod

coarse reef
amber stone
#

I thought it was the official

amber stone
earnest urchin
#

i played anomaly after i finished CS , SHoCh but before Anomaly i tried CoC also i must admit i still haven't fully played CoP because it ran like sht for some reason, and Clear Sky ran the best then in the middle was Shadow of Chernobyl

coarse reef
#

i honestly just picked it because number low

coarse reef
# amber stone any tips?

don't go to cordon through the way the game wants you to, just go through it to complete the objective and then go back to the swamps and then go to the northern exit to cordon

amber stone
#

alrighty

#

wish me luck

earnest urchin
#

PMm sucks as s irl and in-game too Sure_I_am

soft ice
#

Don’t fight them just run

coarse reef
#

the early parts of the game are really frustrating so prepare for that

#

well the entire game is

soft ice
#

Not resllt

#

Its just action oriented

#

It’s just the accuracy that makes it frustrating and that’s just because people don’t upgrade their weapon

#

get a lot of bandages too because you usually need more than 1 to stop bleeding

to this day i can't for the love of god remember name of one game which also took place in the exclusion zone but you were playing as US agent or something like i dont know for 100% now. it was quite interesting but i cannot recall the name ffs. i only played demo of it

Yea

Then get into mods

welll i have and they were good

If you start with modded it’s not as fun normal

I started with normal never needed mods

@Mez What path you think ST2's story will take?

#

Military attempts to push into the Zone by force and we take it from there or some even more complex mystery?

#

1st thing makes more sense

#

Since the game will be set in the modern times

#

2020 or so...

#

The Military may be the new Monolith

#

But then again the military option doesn't make sense from another point of view

#

If one has to fight Mili, one has to be part of the enemy

#

Which isn't how Stalker plays - one enters as a stranger

#

Maybe GSC will spin things a bit

#

this time round

worthy lagoon
solid dome
#

Then what do you expect?

#

CoP plot in reverse?

worthy lagoon
#

Surely the military won't turn on the BS and such

#

They're the law, so

#

However

solid dome
#

Maybe the story in the sequel will be Cube x Stalker

#

Cube is the movie franchise if you never heard or watched that

#

Puzzles everywhere I mean

worthy lagoon
#

SIIRCA should technically be separeded by Military, or if it is united it means some generals wants its power

#

worthy lagoon
#

Ward cooperates with SIIRCA

solid dome

Aka not letting people in or out of the place

#

#

One sec. I'm looking for the docs...

solid dome
#

I know what Ward is meant to be though

#

Just trying out to figure what GSC may do to keep the game as much interesting as SoC or CoP at least

#

CoP wasn't prime example of uber intriguing story though I think

#

Not supreme, not trash

worthy lagoon
#

For me all the games were good

solid dome
#

It's still interesting

worthy lagoon
#

It really depends on what you are looking for

solid dome
#

SoC had much more mystery to it

#

Either dialogues or whatever

worthy lagoon
#

CoP is more interesting about labs and how factions end up, and Monolith

solid dome
#

CoP was much more open looking at environments

#

Maybe that explains it

worthy lagoon
#

CoP does have a lot of mysteries

#

Just look at the Pripyat Underpass

solid dome
#

Not as much as SoC tho

worthy lagoon
#

Maybe

#

But it tells a lot

#

They also did very well at making the documents and explaining the story

solid dome
#

We were told about the approx length of the story before, no? ST2 that

worthy lagoon
#

Ex: documents in the bridge at Zaton

solid dome
#

What was it, 100 hours?

worthy lagoon
#

Yep

#

But i have my doubts tbh

earnest urchin
#

100 hours multiple playthroughs

worthy lagoon
#

I really doubt a game story can take 100 hours

#

100 hours are A LOT

earnest urchin
#

they said to see everything you will have to play multiple times so

worthy lagoon
#

Stil

solid dome
worthy lagoon
#

In 100 hours i can finish CoP with all the side quests and good ending like 8 times

solid dome
#

Say 20 hours per ending

solid dome
#

Not bad, if enough side content and stuff to do

#

100 seems even less to me tbh

#

But then again we dont know how the world will look

worthy lagoon
solid dome
#

They said something but I dont remember the exact wording

#

But I'm sure it was related to story only

#

No side quests and activities

worthy lagoon
solid dome
#

A team of 500 feels... suspicious too

#

Bruh do you know a video game developer, major one, that had such a team working over a single game?

#

I don't know such

#

TW3 had 300 tops, and that game is MAJOR

worthy lagoon
#

Well still but 100 hours for a main story lol

#

Not even Genshin

solid dome
#

In my opinion, they are jumping the gun on some details

#

😄

solid dome
#

Since they never explicitly said if that means one or multiple playthroughs

worthy lagoon
#

i think

solid dome
#

Like you said yourself, if for one take, it's hard to believe to be true

#

If for multiple runs... seems

#

Fine?

#

20 hours x 6 endings...

#

Even that would be quite much for people like me that are playing as slow as possible

#

I usually take 60 hours to do everything cause I always run left and right looking at things, etc

#

Still havent done my last CoP pt - months now

I'll post translations of some docs and the messages the Problesk group and Cipher itself sent us. You make the conclusions about SIIRCA, Perimeter Security Service (UA) yourself.
Problesk:

You've been a good help to us. We are glad that you care about the fate of the Zone. But the war is not over yet.
We know that there are some normal people among SIIRCA employees, who are willing to help us. But they are afraid for themselves and their loved ones. The bigwigs from this institute will stop at nothing, these freaks control everything they can reach. The few people who are willing to help us are practically taken hostage. They need support and assurance that if anything happens, they will have the public on their side... And to do that we need to tell the world who SIIRCA really are and express support for our supporters. We need to show what's behind their crappy website from the 90's. So, listen up. Post a photo on all your social media sites with the name of your town and the text attached
"SIIRCA is the main enemy of the Free Stalkers.
#stalkersmight."
Once you see the support, one of the "defectors" is sure to get in touch.
Take action.

They all lie. I'm your friend. The only, for a long time.

  • We cleared out both points. We got into an ambush at the point C36, started a fight, but had to retreat. There's a temporary camp at the point H42, It's almost fully evacuated. Ah. Also we met guys from Ward. Everything is fine. No incidents.
  • Do you have anything important to report?
  • One of the casualties had a badge with engravings. C14 and a skull with bones. We took one prisoner.
  • Don't take a prisoner to the base on H12. Interrogate him and finish off.

Cipher:

Hello to all who read it. You did the right thing.
They can't intimidate us. They tried, that's for sure, but did they succeed? I've seen a lot of crap... I got my first suit, which I had to throw away in the bunker on Yanov. I was hungry all the time. At first I only had a knife and a well-worn pistol they lent me. I endured it. I endured and learned more and more about this place every day. So much to live through, man... So much to hide! But it paid off! Sometimes I can't believe it myself... all of it.
You should know what I saw.
They followed me all the time. They wanted what I found. They thought I'd be scared, but let them go to hell! WE CAN'T BE STOPPED!!!
You did a great job. A GREAT JOB! It all worked out - since that piece of paper is in front of you, that means we're almost there. And that goal is to reduce the influence of evil in the Zone. Yeah, you can't eradicate all the crap in here. It's too late. But to kick those who put down roots here... That's a noble goal. I got some left in me, and I hope you got some in you too.
And we taught them a lesson... Point C12, the bloodsucker's lair, SIIRCA, Problesk - did you like it?! Although, that question is more rhetorical.

I will tell the truth. Everyone will know the truth. I promised it, and I'll say it again. Everyone will know the truth, but you have to help me. One last time, buddy. Everything I could muster on these scumbags. The creation of mutants, the first raids to the center of the Zone, the "unclassified fauna"... You know that they knew it long before all of this?! You see, they were conducting "special measures to to solve the problem"! What a "wonderful" effort they made! I found a little bit about Project X, too. It's all there. It's all there, try to understand it...
You're already in this crap up to your eyeballs. You're already part of the whole ugly story, and you can't go on living your life in peace. So be ready to march when the time comes.
Every step, every moment and every blow was right. And the situation could have been reversed! Even after that story with the students. It was possible to save someone... saved.
We have to fight. Get ready!

stash [The Ward Faction] stash

This new faction is called the Ward. Put it this way: if the Zone is the Wild West and bandits are outlaws and bank robbers, the Ward are the lawmen. They may not have tin stars pinned to their chests, but they're definitely seen as police by the rest of the Zone.
The leader of the Ward is Colonel
Alexander Korshunov, an accomplished and experienced soldier who personally recruited the faction's members from groups of highly trained mercenaries and turned them into a proper army. A disciplined leader, he doesn't tolerate disloyalty from his soldiers, and crossing him is a bad idea.
The Ward sounds a bit similar to
Duty, another paramilitary faction
from earlier STALKER games, but Duty sees the Zone as a hazard to humanity and fights to eradicate it. The Ward, on the other hand, wants to control the dangers of the Zone so they may serve humankind through the scientific knowledge gained from them. As a result, the Ward's goal is to protect the important discoveries taking place at the Scientific Institute for Research of the Chernobyl Anomalous Area. They don't look kindly on bandits, and the feeling is mutual.
Choosing to side with Colonel
Korshunov and the Ward, or the leader and members of any of STALKER 2's factions, will be an important and difficult choice for players, according to Grygorovych. "Several characters of conflicting ideologies can be found even within the same faction," he says. "Even within the [GSC Gameworld], I see people argue about the choices [their coworkers] have made."

stash [Co-op and Multiplayer in S2] stash
There will also be multiplayer elements like PvP, deathmatch, and team deathmatch added after launch. Ifyou were hoping to take on the Zone with a friend at your side, however, that's not in the cards. When it comes to STALKER 2, co-op is a non-starter. "It is impossible to add a co-op mode without ruining the experience ofovercoming the difficulties on your own," Grygorovych says. When it comes to surviving the Zone, you'll have to do it solo, STALKER.

#

** stash[Picking Sides] stash **
STALKER's factions have different goals and ideologies. Who will you side with?
Freedom
Members of Freedom think the Zone's secrets should be shared with the world, not kept by the state.
Monolith
The religious cult of Monolith are back, determined to kill anyone trying to reach the centre of the Zone.
Ward
Led by Colonel Korshunov, this new faction acts like the policemen of the Zone. Bandits hate them. Will you?

#

**stash Anomalies stash **
Anomalies are extremely dangerous, often fatal phenomena that occur in the Zone. And a lot of times they occur before you're even aware you've stepped into one. They come in many different forms: sometimes they're explosive, fiery events that will flash-fry you where you stand, or gravitational vortexes that will pick you up and spin you around as if you've been caught in a tornado. There can be singular anomalies, they can be clustered together in anomaly fields, and there are new 'arch anomalies', such as the Fire Whirlwind, which represent an even deadlier type ofthreat.
As for the arch anomalies like the Fire Whirlwind, GSC isn't telling us much about them yet, other than that simply making your way through them using detectors won't be enough to come away with your prize. "The temperature is too high and the artefact from the centre cannot be retrieved," says Grygorovych ofthe Fire Whirlwind. "We don't want to spoil the solution, but there is a way to fetch the artefact." I'm guessing it involves something more durable than some sort of fancy oven mitt.

You need to have both VO and text to let everyone enjoy the game no matter if they have disabilities or not

#

Yeah yeah I put it wrong @noble stirrup

#

You'd think blind people don't play such games

#

Though they do, I don't know how

#

😄

noble stirrup
#

the only thing I know is that some people hate reading and unironically listen to every dialogue in a game even if it has subtitles and is skippable

solid dome
#

Very well true

noble stirrup
#

usually reading is faster than listening

solid dome
#

But some of us are dialogue whores if you will

noble stirrup
#

I hope the dialogue isn't as wordy as it was in Clear Sky

solid dome
#

You mean as simple - long or complex - short?

noble stirrup
#

let's say it's needlessly long in CS

#

in many dialogues

solid dome
#

And often repeating at times

#

In certain places

#

Hate that

noble stirrup
#

in SOC you have relatively short phrases and can't ask too many questions

#

and answers tend to be similarly short

solid dome
#

And those give the impression you're not talking to a real human rather some robot

noble stirrup
#

in CS, every unique character has a monologue stored for you

solid dome
#

I mean, some sentences are way too simple/generic

noble stirrup
#

and you can ask unique characters a lot of random stuff

solid dome
#

Gives you the impression there isn't so much effort put into giving the dialogues real deep feel

#

It's how I see it

noble stirrup
#

SOC was much wordier in early builds

#

they changed dialogues to be more to the point for the release, and Marked One doesn't really have a personality of his own in the game as he is supposed to be the vessel for the player

solid dome
#

Yeppers

#

CS and COP were made by a mostly different team of people apparently, and it is noticeable in the tone

even the voiced lines became more exaggerated

Also Tremor's case is understandable. He wasn't responsible that he was born with that disease, was he?

He was rather a victim of circumstances than a full time villain tbh

#

But regarding bandits, they literally had concentration camp during CS events which is f'd up on another level and not excusable

Speaking of Loners, I like how CoP didn't portray them as goody-two-shoes who are all on the same team.

I have a friend that want to try it, and he have finished the game with the Autumn Aurora 2.1, so my advice is to start with Shadow of Chernobyl +AA 2.1 and delete the Russian files from the mod for restore you’re own language. He enjoy the game a lot, but you need to be careful, you need to make only one quest for time because the game will crash if there’s a lot of quest active in the pda, especially after red forest.

What

#

Wdym survive encounters

Like what kind of encounters

The original games give you actual reasons to fight people instead of “loot”

I cant even progress 1 mile outside of the rookie village without getting 1 shotted by everything and once I get hit I bleed to death

#

@soft ice boars, dogs

#

The original games have a plot

#

You play through it, it’s still pretty open world tho

#

Zombies I can deal with but humans are an issue cause of the dumb bleeding affect from bullets

#

Just, buy Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl and you will see what we mean @fresh spindle
