S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: "A Typical Day In The Zone" - Games

[QUOTE=Beacon;47708271]Yeah, but hanging out on Epic-Stalker and not seeing any chat or posts or anything at all for ages, is what I meant mainly :)[/QUOTE] Yeah, we didn't have a pro communication team, but it was our decision. No hype, no big announcements and advertisement. When it's ready, it's ready. I started the mod 3 years ago, and during this time i made 2-3 times a half year break. Now a 3-4 months hiatus is no reason for panic or spreading rumors about "mod cancelled". Beacon, didn't you make breaks during your modding activities? Didn't you quit from moddb and other forums for a longer time? It's "just" our hobby, we can't work on a game/mod 8 hours per day, during years, without pauses.

I've taken breaks too, in fact recently I've not been modding for the past couple of months because I've been finishing my university studies and my dissertation. I always make sure to let everyone know that I'm still around and the mod's not just died, that's all :) Take it as a compliment - people only care if a mod's died if they actually want to play it after all! CoC is exciting for people, and other modders, so it's only natural that people don't want to see it die.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;47707998]A small update on [B]Frozen Zone[/B]. [t]http://i.minus.com/i0DDiq4wsOJgH.jpg[/t][t]http://i.minus.com/i7q50WFhal0FD.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] What is even Frozen Zone? I checked a bit and it looks like heavily revamped stalker (metro 2033 heavy), rather than a simple mod. They even made own story and animations. Is there a bigger team behind this?

It's absolutely amazing - atmosphere, weapons, weather effects, original assets etc.

I really love the look of Frozen Zone, I just feel that it's a too ambitious mod that's going to eventually die off.

Ok guys, so tommorow is the release of ray of hope ALPHA, am I correct?

Should be. The moddb date now is supposed to be for the second alpha I think, while tomorrow is gonna be the first public release for the initial stress testing and shit or something like that

ray of hope is for soc or cop

Jumped back into Misery for CoP there today, last time I played it it must have been an early version. Everything is incredibly detailed now, there's a load of items that I'm only starting to figure out. And I started with a StG44 which was odd, but the gun is pretty baller. Any tips on making fat stacks of rubles? everything in this game is super expensive, even a pack of fags is like 2 grand.

Mutants are nice income once you can deal with them. One idea is to group up with some random stalkers and loot whatever you can hunt with them. Plus it's quite nice to move with some fellow stalkers.

It's harsh, but I kinda love the reality of it, it forces you to think about your purchases a little harder. Invest in the better cooking kit and never sell alcohol or smokes, that's all I can really say.

haven't been here for a while how's that gunslinger mod doing?

hnnnnng i fucking love L85A1s

Too bad the durability on them is like trying to drink water from a tin cup someone's putting bullets in as you drink. Maybe that's a bad analogy.

true but that design

Ray of hope public stress test is today, right? R-right guise?

I have never found anything that says it would be today. I checked all their official channels and forum. Nothing about stress test. The only thing i saw was mod release date being July 2015 on moddb.

[QUOTE=Beacon;47728606]muh baby gonna be learning to shoot, assemble/disassemble etc one of these bad boys like the back of my hand soon (well, its less dumb big brother the A2, that is)[/QUOTE] Best be cocking that charging handle the correct way. It always bugs me when games and movies do it with the right hand :( But they're real simple and fun to take apart and clean.

The team encountered a problems and we had a setback with the alpha. More detailed news about the setback when Hunter gets here tonight."[/QUOTE] It was supposed to be today

Despite acquiring a Spas, AUG and an AK74, and repairing them back to usable condition I have yet to find a decent protective suit in Misery that doesn't cost 90000 rubles at the trader, anybody know where I can find a Sunrise suit knocking about? I can't get within 100 meters of a helicopter crash site without one.
