S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Stalkers raving in the face of danger - Games

[QUOTE=Foxzone91;22092460]From what I read (Dont remember where) STAKER 2 is going to be a trilogy aswell and it's being developed as we speak. There are rumors that the next game will feature a Zone BIGGER (has in it grew outside of chernobyl) and more factions (Countries) will be in the game. But these are just rumors (Hopefully false ones!), although the STALKER 2 being a trilogy, that's true.[/QUOTE] What. Larger zone (IE the original area would be the heart, almost too deadly to even approach), which would have taken over parts of central Europe, would be really rad. And I found it weird that no countries have any real representation in the zone, only Mercs and Scientists. You'd think the US would have their own research lab and camp there already. [editline]12:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=RG4ORDR;22095077]I wondered what if you cross and Exo Suit,Eco suit,SKAT suit, and Seva the EESS I wonder how good it would be[/QUOTE] SEVA + Exo = completely bulletproof, high anomaly resistances.

NATO also tried to take over the Zone before CoP but they didn't prepared according to the standards. I'd like to see more of the Belorussian sector of the Zone more, since it has bigger potential for anomaly clusters in the forests North of the NPP. The Generators(blowout source?) are probably stationed there and it'd be nice if we'd get to see them in the next STALKER.

[QUOTE=kukiric;22089993]Someone get ready to patch Lost Alpha to 1.0005 when it's released, as it's going to be for 1.0004[/QUOTE] I'm afraid this won't be possible. LA uses lots of stuff from the core game files, some stuff they use is removed in 1.0005.

My guess for STALKER 2 is (and you should probably only read this once you've completed SHOC/COP) [sp]we're going to discover who 'those' people were strelok referred to in COP and hopefully fully understand what the zone is, and even more info on it's creation and how it works[/sp]

I thought blowouts were caused by the sarcophagus collapsing.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;22098694]I thought blowouts were caused by the sarcophagus collapsing.[/QUOTE] [sp]I thought it was a defense system when someone got to close, that's what they said in Clear Sky, hence why you're trying to stop strelok.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Tinter;22098750][sp]I thought it was a defense system when someone got to close, that's what they said in Clear Sky, hence why you're trying to stop strelok.[/sp][/QUOTE] It could be, but in Encyclopedia of the Zone in SoC it mentions that the source of the blowouts came from far North away from the NPP.

[QUOTE=croguy;22098302]NATO also tried to take over the Zone before CoP but they didn't prepared according to the standards.[/QUOTE] In other words, they were torn to shreds [editline]11:09AM[/editline] Wasn't the cause of blowouts discovered in CoP? Doesn't it take the view from North of the NPP, where the blowouts originates?

Oh man, most of those .ltx files are like HTML programming. It's preety easy when you get around to feel how will things work.

[QUOTE=croguy;22098769]It could be, but in Encyclopedia of the Zone in SoC it mentions that the source of the blowouts came from far North away from the NPP.[/QUOTE] I can't find anything on it, link? It only says "Clear Sky scientists however speculate that an emission is the zone's form of "Anti-body" similar to human white blood cells, this is evident as Strelok's group finding a path to the center of the zone caused a large and frequent number of emissions." My guess is [sp]in Clear Sky the C-Counciousness started triggering blowouts with something north of the zone when Streloks group came, then in SoC when everybody wanted to get to the center again, after the brain scorcher was de-activated, they triggered another blowout, but only 1, then after C-Counciousness was destroyed they did something so they came automatically or something messed up.[/sp] I'm probably very wrong, but this is my guess, maybe I didn't follow the story good enough :v:.

[QUOTE=Tinter;22098861]I can't find anything on it, link?[/QUOTE] It should be in SoC's PDA Encyclopedia, go check "history of the Zone."

Still so much to learn about the zone and that's awesome since it makes for more games!

[QUOTE=croguy;22098897]It should be in SoC's PDA Encyclopedia, go check "history of the Zone."[/QUOTE] Oh silly me, I thought it was the Stalker wikia.

[QUOTE=Tinter;22099675]How wrong would you guys say this is?[/QUOTE] Well, if we follow Lebedev's theory of blowout as an anomaly that is defending the alive center of the Zone, then it's correct. Of course anyone who played SoC and CoP knows that it is actually radioactive discharge released from the far North by [sp]C-Counciosness.[/sp]

[QUOTE=croguy;22099094] Finishing my Russian surnames mod for CoP.[/QUOTE] Sounds cool. [editline]12:51PM[/editline] [QUOTE=croguy;22099713]Well, if we follow Lebedev's theory of blowout as an anomaly that is defending the alive center of the Zone, then it's correct.

So my theory only holds if blowouts is from an anomaly around the NPP? Which we know it isn't.

[QUOTE=Tinter;22099753]Sounds cool.[/QUOTE] Here's the surname resource list I'm using. [url]http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateMonk/Former-Soviet-Union/Russia/Surnames.htm[/url] I was thinking of putting some more names from Southeast Europe but I figured those are too far away.

Include Ninja and AA Gun just for comedic relief. Let some stalkers be named by only a nickname for instance Bear, Phantom etc

[QUOTE=Paravin;22099839]Include Ninja and AA Gun just for comedic relief. Let some stalkers be named by only a nickname for instance Bear, Phantom etc[/QUOTE] I have a few doctors and guys that have American-ish last names, but I'll put in Ninja and AA gun anyways. :v:

It isn't a Stalker game, if there isn't an AA gun.

Don't forget SEVA Pimp.

I just found out, that if you go into the house of the guy that killed stalkers too soon, by being near it during an emission, you don't get the supplies every now and then, even though you do get the achievment. That happend several hours of playtime ago... :(

Give me a hint on how to get into the AA complex I'm lurking around Jupiter and I really want to get inside the armory. Also, did the whole grouse quest, I didn't even know who [sp]tremor[/sp] was lol.

[QUOTE=Tinter;22099753] So my theory only holds if blowouts is from an anomaly around the NPP? Which we know it isn't.[/QUOTE]

What mod should I get for CoP?

I thought the blowouts were psi and rag energy buildups and zone expansion was when the wish granter absorbed/killed someone.

Blowouts can be both security measures and a way for the Zone to release energy.

[QUOTE=Paravin;22101628]Blowouts can be both security measures and a way for the Zone to release energy.[/QUOTE] Angsty Zone. Also, [sp]where did Strelok teleport to at the end of SHOC? It couldn't be outside of the zone or else he would've just contacted the USS[/sp]
