How Can We Improve Your Stalker Roleplay Experience?

[Paintcheck]

Unless theres something about the canon I don't know like the stalkers and shit are only in chernobyl to make money and can leave whenever they want.

That's actually true. Among other reasons for stalking.

[Mikhail]

but theres no specific information about this servers canon? it follows the games canon precisely?

[Khorn]

It should follow, but a lot of people don't try too hard to follow.

[Combine]

Many Bandit Traders do that but not normal Traders....

[alex4576]

add a .357 magnum or some sort of revolver to the server

[Paintcheck]

Already did that last time I updated the sweps and it works fine, other than the lua error that shows up when it is fired (which I have since fixed but don't think Exile put that on the server yet)

Although when I made it I didn't want that to be everyone's new favorite gun, was supposed to be a little more exclusive than that.

[KillSlim]

Fuck me, I see a lot of ungrateful players demanding more mishuns from traders.

I'll let you in on something: Creating missions is a logistical nightmare, especially since this new map is huge. A simple 'Fetch my memory stick' mission is harder than ever because of the sheer size of the new map.
If it's not a fetch quest, it's most likely a hunt-quest, so you request friends or admins with access to rarer flags to pose as the target.

After running from one side of the Zone and back, or interupting someone elses' RP, you finally made a mission or two.
Lay off the traders for fuck sake, sure they're practically rolling around in money and exo suits these days but you need to remember how much of a faff setting up missions is.

Where have anomalies gone? "Hurr Duur they crash da server"- Wrong! Idiots chucking props or the infamously unstable Stalker ragdolls into Vortex anomalies crashes the server. The absence of artifacts is really beginning to take it's toll on the humble Stalker.
It's like the new government over here in the UK, further widening the gap between the rich and poor (The traders and Stalkers) due to lack of financial support from the government (Lack of artifacts from the admin team who refuse to spawn anomalies).

Go on, have a look at your typical Stalker and your typical trader, what do you see? I see an Exo on one side, and maybe a sunrise suit on the other.

Artifacts are uncommon as a whole. They're not epicly rare, play the Stalker games and you can come across quite a few in a short space of time. Artifact hunting is the Stalkers' primary way of accumulating money, more pressure is being put upon the traders to make mishuns because there are no artifacts to hunt.
Bottom line: Bring back anomalies!

[Mikhail]

artifacts are the entire reason stalkers came into the zone if i am correct, with no artifacts there is no benefit to staying in the zone.

[KillSlim]

Not really.
People came into the Zone to escape law, or because there is no employment available, etc. Artifacts are mere whispers outside the Zone.

But I do understand your point, artifacts are Stalkers' primary source of income, and people are trying to reach the center / reach more unpopulated areas of the zone (Up North) because you constantly hear about hordes of new artifacts, ie: Lot'sa money.

Don't forget Mutants, and at the Moment, it seems like a walk in the park in the Zone...

Don't forget powergaming assholes who think with an AKS74M (not the SMG-like) and a merc suit they can kill one.

[Comradebritish]

It's funny, without artifacts you'd expect the Economy of the zone to plumit, it doesn't seem that way :/

[meetdadoom]

Implement SKILL RP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An experianced merc is gunna rape a  rookie stalker. A Military solider is going to oblitarte a rookie stalker. A Veteran Stalker is going to kill an experianced merc.
Does this make sense in a way?

[Aresty]

So your point is. Bloodsucker/Controllers/Spetsnaz= Rapes everybody ?

[Dug]

So you are saying, a veteran stalker who has no shit will pwn me even if I'm just a stalker, with an actual stalker suit and an abakan.

[Aresty]

I think there should be something like skills regarding weapons, that's actually In game. Like low accuracy for that type of weapons will make you miss most of the time, while the experienced stalkers will start with more accuracy, making them to miss less etc.

What if the regular stalker didn't donate and was around more than the new donator aka experienced stalker?

[jaik]

e regular stalker didn't donate and was around more than the new donator aka experienced stalker?

The Aiming skill could increase when a certain amounts of bullets was shot?

People would just load up their guns and fire randomly to raise skill.

[jaik]

The skill should raise very slowly, so eventually, you'll get there.
No point in buying ammo and wasting it for nothing.

[Paintcheck]

Skills are fucking evil and should not be used to give people excuses to power game. I can see it now: rookie stalker has a gun to the back of vet's head Vet spins on him and shoots him because his "Agility skill" is higher and therefore he is faster than bullets. Will be retarded.

I mean of course add reality but I am just saying like a spetznas soilder will have an upper hand over a rookie stalker. Do you get what I mean?

That's where FEAR RP comes in. The rookie has to be afraid of the spetznaz and gtfo.

Hell yes. Next to the mutants, monolith and Upper tier mercs, the Spetz are the definition of fear in the Zone for everyone. I would definitely like to see some more FEAR RP out of the players, that goes for the Military newbloods, they may or may not be battle-hardened from prior operations, but if they are new to the Zone then they should be acting the role of a jumpy new guy. And as for Stalkers running to the Military base, please dont, it's a fast track to death, a normal human does not in their right mind go to a Military base, guns blazing. Also you may not see mutant-players online, but now and then you can passive and bluntly RP the thought of them being around, as we dont rely on NPC's to do it you should know they'd still be a big presence. I have more things to list should i not see them being done by people in the future =)

[Bielecki]

No one is scared of the Monolith :(
