I died to a fucking Psi storm

#

oh boy I can't wait to loot those 6 bandits I just killed they're all still hanging out in their campground

Please god don't tell me i will need to break into a monolith base

its okay its still better than the version of gamma i started in

#

umbral tulip
#

Better than stalker 2 killing you the moment skif touches a puddle

#

Just gotta ask

#

Why was the gun repair and artifact radiation changed

mental furnace
#

artifact radiation a shit and old mechanic since AMK

celest sparrow

#

I kinda miss the old system of a gun cleaning oil and a rag or using a ramrod that kinda stuff

#

I know I still technically am with the newer cleaning kits since that's what is used to craft them but

celest sparrow
#

It's not so different

unique lagoon
#

It just feels bad with the whole durability thing like if you kept your guns clean before part durability didn't really go down much

celest sparrow
#

like yeah Field cleaning didn't have to be changed since we modified those items to be crafting materials but why would anyone be repairing parts on the field

unique lagoon
#

Now it's just acting like I have a dirty gun all the time and parts are wearing out so fast

celest sparrow
#

If you kept your parts cleaned, your weapon will always be clean

celest sparrow
#

There was no reason to keep Gun condition around other than to confuse new players into thinking it was highly relevant when it only increased the Gun Jam chance and degradation of Weapon Parts

unique lagoon
#

I mean all you had to think was that big bottom bar was weapon cleanliness

cunning patio
#

function = if
if "gun part" = clean
then "gun" = clean
crazy fucking concept that so many retarded kids who came from drewski couldnt fucking fathom

celest sparrow
umbral tulip
#

so now there's like 8 different different gun related items that do nothing

celest sparrow
#

And people complain the changes made repairing "Easier" when it has always been that easy

umbral tulip
unique lagoon
#

old system was more immersive

celest sparrow
umbral tulip
#

because all of the items that could be used to fix guns now do nothing

unique lagoon
#

using some gun oil and some dead banditos mask to tidy my gun up after getting their idiot blood on it

cunning patio
#

i dont understand how people think it was hard you had gun condition and the conditjon of the fucking internals inside the gun
DAS IT

celest sparrow
latent cairn
#

its been too long, how do i complete the baba yaga quest?

#

do i just walk over and pick up the artifact?

#

nvm

celest sparrow
#

How is it harder now when Cleaning Kits still clean parts above 60% and you don't have to worry about Gun Condition

cunning patio
#

the difficult task of pressing on gun oil and clicking on gun and then repair
literally 3 clicks job

umbral tulip
#

wait they removed gun condition?

celest sparrow
#

This community thinks the gun repair system was so complex when it never was

mental furnace
cunning patio
#

none of them were EVER complex

#

what sucks is the illiteratacy of this server

#

there was even a manual for repairing and an in-pda guide ffs
and yet people refused to read

#

plays game
refuses to learn game mechanic
cried its difficult
peepostarechamp2

celest sparrow
#

The only thing I can understand people being upset at are the changes made to the File and Ramrod because Field Cleaning is somewhat weird now having to always use Cleaning Kits

#

but like does it really matter when you only need to clean Gun Parts when they are inside the gun?

cunning patio
#

put it to some weird lore reason
like the cleaning kit having a small file or something

umbral tulip
#

shits and cries

cunning patio
celest sparrow
#

People are just fucking stupid

cunning patio
#

it just slows gameplay down

cunning patio
mental furnace
celest sparrow
cunning patio
#

both gameplay and progression difficulty inherently(idk the word spelling stfu) slows gameplay down a bit

#

gameplay cuz you die from a fart so you take fights slower and with care
and progression because less money and so on and so forth

#

tldr gamma players suck

vivid ridge
#

one thing i prefer to not deal with entirely is carry weight and fast travel limitations. cant find the carry weight mod i used to have

umbral tulip

without carry weight it's not stalker

i feel like with gameplay/economy difficulty settings the economy stuff makes a bigger impact for me personally

cunning patio

without carry weight just f7 and turn on god mode lil bro 🥀

idk why my brain allows limiting storage by grid but not by weight

I honestly don't know how people struggle playing on Easy Gameplay difficulty

#

Other than being at Shooters

cunning patio
#

how does one struggle on hard survivalist even

unique lagoon
#

only on survivalist will i hobble with a broken leg and arm to the doctor in rostok from south cordon because i dont want to use meds lol

cunning patio

doctor is optimal though

vivid ridge

idc really. it's a solo game and i really want 1000 carry weight mod

so its worth it

# cursive jetty rotten life looks great

so far I agree, I already started going down the rabbit hole and I also tried ATO5
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ato-5
and I think that these texture packs will be quite a subjective thing - I don't like that ATO5 look and while I like Rotten more, despite it's name, many things don't look rotten or weathered, but I will keep it to do some brain burn-in on them

Goddamn, I love REDONE spawn mods. Now when you turn X16 off scientists will claim the lab surface area

Holy cow

# alpine cloak what is redone and can you add it to existing saves :?

it's a mod (or series of them) that redoes a lot of gameplay settings. There are some interesting changes like adding back the neutral soldier patrols in the Cordon like in Shadow of Chernobyl and factions actually moving into bases after important NPCs are killed, but at the same time it's not 100% suited to Gamma since factions like UNISG and Sin will not spawn unless you start their respective main story quests, and when a faction leader does die, the faction as a whole practically ceases to exist (which is bad when your main source of loot is killing people)

alpine cloak
#

Fair enough

#

I keep getting tempted to play EFP again, but its been a long time since i've done a full gamma playthrough so im just sulking around rostok collecting income

oblique reef
#

check out the Stalker Re: server, I haven't used redone in a while so I dunno if any changes are necessary for the latest gamma updates

alpine cloak
#

Mm it sounds like some of the tweaks it introduces are too drastic for my taste haha

oblique reef
#

I'd personally only use it for Monolith/Sin playthroughs now cuz it supposedly makes it so that you have to clear BS as a Monolith which is probably the closest you'll get to a tangible goal for the faction

alpine cloak

I love the winchester , i love how sometimes you can nail a guy because a pixel of his head is showing from 200m away, and then other times you can be 10m away from someone aiming center mass and the bullet goes to the fucking shadow realm

Head shots with any shot gun does big damage

me too

umbral tulip
#

then once you run out of ammo

#

use the next gun

#

reload and repeat

harsh sandal
#

You do know that you still need to reload both right?

umbral tulip
#

tbf i never used this

#

but it probably works as a strat for a medium range run

celest sparrow
harsh sandal
#

You bring gazillion guns with you?

umbral tulip
#

holy shit based

celest sparrow
#

I just imagine Toiko having like 10 backup Chimera Hunters to quickly switch out to not reload

umbral tulip
#

that's cool as shit

harsh sandal
#

Also it still takes time to open inventory and replace a new gun

celest sparrow
#

assuming he finds a Chimera Hunter kek1

harsh sandal
last mesa
#

You can

#

Chimera hunter does appear in army warehouse from the last stashes i found

harsh sandal
#

RNG

last mesa
#

You could stock up grenades tho

#

Shoot twice throw once then reload

umbral tulip
#

don't remind me of grenades

last mesa
#

The AI would just scramble away and giving you breathing zone

umbral tulip
#

i have died too many times with grenades

#

because never notice it

last mesa
#

Unless you throw like me and the grenade landed on my feet

harsh sandal
last mesa
#

As they should in general

#

Unless you own saiga with a drum mag

#

🥀

#

Double saiga with drum mag

harsh sandal

double barrel problem

Kill 2 load+rush back

umbral tulip
last mesa

Unless the entrance force you fight 8

umbral tulip
#

if i don't get shot i can kill 6 guys in a row

#

but then randomly get one shot instantly with a shotgun across 1000km

last mesa
#

Merc in 9.4 patch be like

Slugs

harsh sandal
celest sparrow

every other Faction uses Slugs

umbral tulip
#

i want to see how armour levels work against top tier weapons

last mesa
#

For master and legendary right

celest sparrow
#

no

last mesa
#

Even lower wtf

harsh sandal
#

Every shotgun enemy use slugs, unless they have 20g toz and 23mm

celest sparrow
#

Grok should not be in charge of doing patch notes

harsh sandal
#

Can we still get onehit by slugs in the head early game?

celest sparrow
#

Nah Health Gate was added to Head HP

harsh sandal
celest sparrow
#

Unless you get 2 shot then fuck you

umbral tulip
#

I love how even in cordon random bandits will have top tier weapons

harsh sandal
celest sparrow
#

that's just RNG shrug

harsh sandal
#

You mean renegade right?

celest sparrow
#

Bandits can sometime spawn with SVDs at low ranks

#

it's not a common occurrence but they are there in loadouts

harsh sandal
#

That's top tier weapons?

celest sparrow
#

apparently shrug

harsh sandal
#

Zamn, trashiest top tier weapon I guess

celest sparrow
#

I don't recall seeing anything extraordinary from Bandit Loadouts other than the rare Type D 7.62x39

harsh sandal
#

You will need AW for that

celest sparrow
#

I have no idea how much does Zone influence Rank but yeah I guess that helps

umbral tulip
#

It would be a real DICK MOVE if even in cordon renegades spawn

celest sparrow
#

I mean it's most likely going to be a thing later on

#

who knows

last mesa
#

They kinda do

#

At least near the bridge

#

The north east of the bridge has chance to see renegades

#

And for some reason

umbral tulip
unique lagoon
#

still cant believe i found the strelok pda on the first bandit i killed in cordon at that truck station

last mesa
#

exo suit bandit could be found in the north of great swamp

unique lagoon
#

ez start

umbral tulip
#

"Clear sky start sucks ass, cordon is so much better"

#

Apparently not

harsh sandal
#

It is

last mesa
#

Nah at least you dont have to fight 7 horde of boars at the start of clearsky

#

Or random ass low chance exo bandit nearby docyor

unique lagoon
#

i remember doing the clear sky quest and the 'clear renegades from the nearby village' quest spawned 2 exo renegades

last mesa
#

Yup

unique lagoon
#

and i was still just using an sks

last mesa
unique lagoon
#

i was new to stalker in general so i was like 'wtf is that noise' hearing that metallic walking sound

harsh sandal
#

For both clearsky and cordon start me skip and go straight to Rostok

unique lagoon
#

i would take pot shots and then run back to try to snipe them from the church

harsh sandal
celest sparrow
#

Great Swamp start is the best if you know what you are doing

umbral tulip
#

Starting pistol rostok

last mesa
#

I mean im fine with swamp because of the mutants rate

unique lagoon
#

i feel like i would be missing out on a lot playing as duty instead of loner but i really hate freedumb so much

umbral tulip
#

"Kill a chimera stalker"
"GLORY TO DUTY

last mesa
#

Not only that

harsh sandal
harsh sandal
#

I start with knife you know

last mesa
#

Clearing pump station can give you decent loota

harsh sandal
last mesa
#

At least a striker

umbral tulip
#

Not fighting the military is better than not fighting the mercenaries

unique lagoon
#

like isnt that one repeatable mission where you shoot monolith in army warehouse super important to be able to do? does duty have something equiv besies defending garbage from bandits lol

last mesa
#

The military should be easy to deal in clearing the swamp mission

#

They do drop coolshit

#

It just most of them are D / C tier weapon

#

Good luck repairing those

unique lagoon
#

and then also how does ammo economy work when not playing as loner

#

losing freedom as an ammo source but gaining military ehhhh

last mesa
#

Pretty sure there is pinned image on how you could buy what ammo

umbral tulip
unique lagoon
#

feels like that locks me into warsaw guns only pretty much unless i want to go all the way to clear sky base

last mesa
#

💔

unique lagoon
#

but then im fighting factions that drop nato guns which feels silly

umbral tulip
#

3 headshots

#

Still survive

unique lagoon
#

and yeah i guess craftan works but theres losses

umbral tulip
#

Kills all my companions in 3 seconds

celest sparrow
#

I don't get why people think Ammo is so restrictive when it comes to playing Factions when you are able to craft Ammo with ease or simply use other weapons

last mesa
#

5.45 and 5.56 are common

celest sparrow
#

Motherfuckers will bitch and moan about being NATO but only getting WP Weapons when most of the 5.45 arsenal can be converted to 5.56

unique lagoon
#

i only ever played loner which feels very balanced but im thinking of playing a different faction sometime

celest sparrow
#

they end up being the most balanced experience

unique lagoon
#

i just see freedom being buddy buddy with bandits like ok bro whatever just chill while he shoots at me but we're supposed to be friends, probably too high to notice

last mesa
#

The ammo issue only appear in early game anyways

#

After like

last mesa
#

Mid game or assuming you are clearsky and finish the entire swamp clearing quest

umbral tulip
#

i wanna play all the loser factions

#

Insg

last mesa
#

You def going to have gun smith

umbral tulip
#

Monolith

#

Sin

#

Bandits and mercenaries

last mesa
#

And if you think you could not get parts you could buy cheaper one and scrap it

unique lagoon
#

dismantling ammo to make other bullets has like a 20% loss on overall materials though no?

last mesa
#

Like buying buckshot and convert it into slugs

celest sparrow
last mesa
#

For 5.45 and 5.56 should not be a big issue

#

And erm.

#

You can turn 5.45 into 9x39/7.62

#

There is no lost there

celest sparrow
#

Butcher is still a good source for ammo crafting 5.45 / 5.56 / 7.62x39 / 9x39 or 9x19 / .45 HS

last mesa
#

7.62x54 to 308 btw

celest sparrow
#

but like you are already getting like 150 bullets from Vendors, there really isn't a need for more unless you spray frequently

last mesa
#

Or you hit torso more often

#

💔

#

Its easy to hit the head lads its not difficult

umbral tulip
#

problem is hitting them when they move

#

and when you have multiple target you need to literally count and listen when they are reloading

unique lagoon
#

yeah they can move and shoot with pinpoint accuracy even when just peeking for a sec i died in such a bullshit way earlier

#

dude would run from cover to cover and put like 4 shots on me like he was playing peekaboo

#

scooby doo hallway

last mesa
#

The amount of time i put into cod and competitive fps does pay well

#

💔

#

I cannot believe i tried hard in a single player game

unique lagoon
#

it felt like someone peeking is csgo or something it was just so silly

last mesa
#

But yeah these are not big issue for me in general

umbral tulip
#

enemies will walk in a straight line

unique lagoon
#

im over here playing stalker and this npc was playing counterstrike

umbral tulip
#

and if they don't see you they will literally walk into a corner

last mesa
#

The strafe is insane

unique lagoon
#

yeah he was strafing a gap that was a few feet wide and prefiring

#

meanwhile i have to count my bullets

#

wonder if there is a way to mod the ai to be as careful with their ammo as the player has to be

last mesa
#

AI rework prob not

normal island
#

Me when I have a wrong preconceived notion of what a game should be so I think the AI is wrong or malfunctioning when it's behaving the way it always has in the games

umbral tulip
#

that's not the problem

last mesa
#

Tbf they are more advanced than modern day or triple A AI anyways

#

Loving it

#

🔥

umbral tulip
#

the problem is that the AI clapping my cheeks

normal island
#

🥀

#

STALKER enemy AI is as stupid as it could get in 2007

#

Half of the time the gun fights in Anomaly is the fucking idiots shooting straight at a wall

last mesa
#

Yo dont make like stalker 2 does not have that

normal island
#

Who is talking about STALKER 2

#

"Developers of mid 1 made mid 2"

#

Fucking shocker

last mesa
#

Then you have game with AI that can see few thing that the player could not

#

But then again i played anomoly not the triology one

normal island
#

The enemy AI does behave largely the same

#

Except in anomaly they don't do any of the fancy scripted tricks of the OGs

last mesa
#

Yup

#

Yk what the only game i played have smart AI is just a horror game / looter shooter called division 2

#

🥀

normal island
#

I just shoot at the pixels

#

🗿

last mesa
#

It's not a bad thing to observe the game anyways

ashen stag
#

to be honest theres very few games that have good ai

#

theres always something off about it

#

either theyre too robotic, too stupid or too cracked to the point where they 1 tap you through a small gap

last mesa
#

Did not try it

ashen stag

stalker ai is a mix of stupid and cracked

last mesa

And i will not try fear

You can also run into them, essentially forcing them to melee you, and then blast them

I have played FEAR 1

ashen stag
normal island
#

It's standard run to the mill AI

celest sparrow
#

there it is

#

the FEAR AI

normal island
#

The only particularly impressive thing they do is call out where you are in the map

#

All the "they learn about your movements and react to them" is complete clickbait bullshit

celest sparrow
harsh sandal
#

Tbf fear has a lot to do with scripted and not being an open world game

normal island
#

FEAR is a 100% linear corridor arcade game

celest sparrow
normal island
#

The enemy KNOWS where you are going to spawn and where you are going to be because it's extremely linear

#

They walk in a straight line while shooting

#

That's the whole "better than modern AAA" AI it has

celest sparrow
#

in a way it also goes the same for the Trilogy, mainly CS as NPCs utilizing cover was mainly via scripts and triggers

normal island
#

People just get clickbaited the shit out of articles from people that also have no fucking idea what they are talking about

harsh sandal
#

But again you are telling me that we cant do fear ai but on the bigger scale after so many years...

#

🥲

normal island
#

You can

#

100000000000000000000%

celest sparrow
#

so yeah it's easy to say that AI that was made of r a rather specific environment is going to be better than AI that has to work on every environment

normal island
#

It's regular FPS enemy AI

harsh sandal
quick lava
#

Sure you can. We had FEAR 20 years ago

#

Devs are fucking lazy pieces of shit

normal island
#

The only special thing it does is calling out your position in the map geometry

quick lava
#

Or greedy

normal island
#

That's it

#

The rest is the same you have in modern games, if not worse

harsh sandal
#

Not saying we cant but they dont like doing that for modern games

normal island
#

They spawn in, walk on a set path while shooting

#

THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT MOST FPS GAMES DO FOR ENEMY AI

#

If you think the FEAR AI is anything else you just fell for clickbaity articles lmao

celest sparrow
#

FEAR gives off the proper illusion of a smart NPC

harsh sandal
#

"Zamn we can fake AI shiitt but cant do that for AI in video games?"

harsh sandal
normal island
#

And they do it well enough for idiots to think it's some meteor lightning in a bottle thing

celest sparrow
#

but it's not really good AI when you place FEAR AI in another environment

blissful ivy
#

no ai is good, there, settled

celest sparrow
#

like you can even see Stalker AI struggle with companions doing whatever the fuck they want and being unable to navigate most underground areas

normal island
#

I mean, plenty of games have the same exact enemy AI as FEAR except for the radio callouts lmao

blissful ivy
#

all ai sucks, it serves the purpose of moving pixels around

#

thats really it

normal island
#

walk through set path
shoot the player
ocasionally take cover

harsh sandal
#

I heard something something SPT has good AI

normal island
quick lava
last mesa
#

Thats all

#

And i love it

#

Lethal company

normal island
#

Much like the rest of the elements in the games

celest sparrow
#

GAMMA could use the change to ReDone Combat AI when it's finished, it's a good change of pace although it falls really flat in linear and open levels that lack proper cover or flank opportunities

normal island
#

Have you ever had monolith magically float inbetween floors in the sarcophagus while also knowing EXACTLY where you are and keeping either a perfect laser focus on you or shooting at geometry between you and their line of sight?

#

That's the AI people think is "better than modern AAA"

celest sparrow
#

yeah the pathing is fucked

#

in every level KekSkew

celest sparrow
#

I still find Monolith clipping through the floor in the Sarcophagus pretty bullshit

normal island
#

wdym it's better than anything made after 2007

#

Do you enjoy modern UE5 AAA corpo woke slop?

#

🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀

harsh sandal
#

With how modern UE5 stuffs perform so far

#

I say yes

normal island
#

Yeah all UE5 games are dogshit

#

Like those two games people have been giving GOTY shouts from the last year and this one

celest sparrow
#

people just have an irrational hate towards it due to poor optimization from studios when the same can be said for Unity

normal island
#

And a dozen other commercial engines that devs used decades before

#

While ACTUALLY playing and researching old games I found super old forums posts of people saying dev studios went greedy for using renderware because their PCs couldn't pull the games on that engine

#

Back in like 2001

#

So I guess people haven't changed all that much

I love reading what people were saying about games 20 years ago when they released. Stuff like Morrowind got literally the same critiques at release as half of all modern AAA games - runs like shit, too much focus on graphics and has no depth compared to [insert older game]

normal island
#

It's truly insane to see that the overall community hasn't changed one bit

#

I saw forum posts of people complaining rockstar used Renderware for GTA 3 because they said that was a bad engine that only lazy devs used

idle kelp
#

Gaming has always been plagued by nostalgia since the very earliest days and nothing changed at all, it was always better back in the day

normal island
#

Also yeah, reading on the reception of Morrowind and people calling it shallow and limiting and comparing it to Daggerfall and Arena

#

Much like the people that say Skyrim is shallow and limiting compared to Morrowind

#

And so forth

Can't even buy a wagon and pay my loans on time in Morrowind, dogshit game

@wide widget If you want to manually inspect your gun, you'll need to disable this mod in MO2:
"G.A.M.M.A. Inspect on double tap F disabler"

besides black market is there any way to get weapons from traders? like bartering for example?

being able to buy guns is pretty boring but piecing together a gun isn't that super fun either

you dont buy weapons in vanilla gamma

ask in modded chats

this is the right chat

look at moddb is one thing you can do

looking at gamma economy mods is another

don't recall it being irridated though

unless I just happened to have a dynamic radiation pocket there

really a question of preference more than anything

some people build in the tower outside the station too

but technicians are far and you have to visit them each time

yeah, that's why i like jupiter, good access to everything

I tried setting up a hideout in one of the apartment rooms in the jupiter factory back when hideout building was first added but it apparently didnt shelter from emissions and psy waves despite being a fairly closed and sealed room dunno if it's still like that

made a base in the generators underground area once

#

that was a mistake

#

i wonder if that psy emitter lamp works as protection?

idk honestly i just drink anabiotics each time anyways

umbral tulip
#

does giving your companions shitty guns means that they will treat that weapon as if they are full condition

green shale
umbral tulip
#

So however shit it is they will fire it as 100% capacity

green shale
#

they also don't need to be given ammo

umbral tulip
#

AND have infinite ammon

#

THis is so op wtf

green shale
#

also they don't give a shit about AP so give them a gun loaded with one single HP round and watch them do the most damage they can do

#

counterpoint: they are stupid and can't aim

timber nimbus

companions dont decrease parts condition btw, weapon stays the same even after 100500 shots

what?

Rpgs and Assault riffles?

what do they actually work with best then?

"Za monolita"
"SHUT UP BOZO STRONG ONE SHOT"

timber nimbus

if u want some unbalanced but fun stuff
get saiga23 from Juans weapon collection
8 ammo, 150+ rpm iirc, 23x75 shrapnel
oof
hip just deletes everything in her path with 2-3 shots

umbral tulip
#

can you put companions in armour or is that just found randomly

last mesa
# umbral tulip What if i give them to my companions

You can get 1 gauss rifle "easily" from the main storyline, other than that you'd rely on a random NPC dropping one which is very rare
I suppose they work just as well as federal but I don't use companions so shrug
With federal they 1 shot nosorogs with bodyshots iirc

umbral tulip

1 Shot nosorogs

thats just the first thing that popped up when i looked up EFT 3rd person anims

no

I told you

its a static actor model

the default one from gamma

gusty cosmos
#

well there is no point of 3rd person animations either?

cunning patio
#

and in fact the default ones from CoP even

#

3rd person is extremely unused

so nobody made them

we only have 1st person

do you play in third person @weak cape?

gusty cosmos
#

damn

mods annihilate this man

weak cape

i just kinda dont liek how stattic the other stalker animations look like

stalker animations are a complete different set in first and 3rd person

fair enough, are you asking for more animations for ai in general?

yeah

thats what i was looking for

worded it wrong ig

took a minute to get to that

yeah sorry

not my first language

happens to the best of us don't worry

i'm not aware of any mod that adds more animations/actions to ai stalkers
